Chapter 124 The Wedding
The Su Qiwu before me had a roguish smile and a cheeky look in his eyes, but he was actually a melancholic and refined person. However, some people have the same face, but after growing up to be fourteen or fifteen years old, they suddenly went astray and started to develop this kind of arrogant and irritating look.
"At Lan Ye Kindergarten, someone is five years old and still wets the bed..."
"Fang Jinwu——!"
Song Chi kicked him. Although he had suspected something before, he never expected that Phoenix Rebirth's rebirth would actually be the awakening of that damned childhood friend's soul. And he even accused her of bedwetting! Did he want to die?
"The story of a seven-year-old who broke his grandfather's treasured zither and was chased and beaten until he had to hide in my house."
"Running away from home at ten years old, not even walking two kilometers... that's something like that..."
"I won't even mention how I was confessed to when I was fourteen and then chased him away. When I was fifteen, the school heartthrob confessed to me and used me as a cover—! Oh wait, I was using this cover from middle school all the way to my second year of graduate school! And this is how you treated me, and you didn't even recognize me."
"Damn it! Shut up, you bastard. Shut up, shut up!"
Song Chi chased after Su Qiwu's version of Fang Jinwu, beating him as she moved away from the crowd. If she let him continue like this, what face would she have left?
The two crossed several hills before Song Chi finally stopped, exhausted from hitting him. In fact, this bastard had been deliberately letting her hit him on the back. Just like always, a foul-mouthed jerk, he'd never said a kind word since childhood. If they hadn't grown up together, you'd think she wouldn't be his childhood friend.
With a wave of spiritual power, he blocked others from spying.
That bastard Fang Jinwu broke her seal. "It's good that they heard, saves me the trouble of explaining again." His gaze first swept over Jiang Linyue. Jiang Linyue and Su Qiwu had the best relationship, and now Jiang Linyue's eyes were truly bloodshot, as if she wanted to come over and chop off this demon soul.
Song Chi thought about it and didn't stop her. In fact, she had transmigrated after dying in a car accident. So, this brat is perfectly fine; could something have happened to him too?
"Tell me, how did you die!" Song Chi asked viciously. She had reason to believe that Fang Jinwu's rotten character was very likely his own doing. And indeed it was.
"Not long after you died, I got back into mountain road racing. That day, it was a stormy, rainy night with thunder and lightning. On nights like that, I suddenly thought of you and felt uneasy. In the middle of the night, I drove to the mountaintop to clear my head, but unfortunately, a landslide occurred, and I fell off the cliff with my car... just like that, I was gone!"
He waved his hand, showing her the flashing lightning, the raging mudslide, and the black vehicle speeding down the mountain. Half of it was for her to see, and the other half was probably for Jiang Linyue and the others.
But in that fleeting glimpse of Fang Jinwu, the refined-looking man with glasses, reflected in the car window, there was clearly an inexplicable excitement in his eyes. That wasn't the look of someone facing danger at all! That bastard! He really was still chasing after so-called passion and freedom like a madman.
Song Chi had a bad idea, so he chased after Fang Jinwu and punched and kicked him until he was unable to take care of himself.
After she finished fighting, Jiang Linyue snorted coldly and came over. "Where is Brother Su? Where has he gone?"
Fang Jinwu immediately put his arm around Su Qiwu's shoulder and smiled. "I am him, and he is me. I have simply awakened the soul of my past life. This is what is meant by the rebirth of a phoenix." After he finished speaking, his smile vanished abruptly. Su Qiwu immediately reverted to his original somber and aloof demeanor.
Jiang Linyue didn't believe him. As soon as the pink lotus was handed to him, she turned back and shouted angrily, "Cousin, help me!" She shouted, then glared fiercely at Song Chi. Next, he probably planned to use the Immortal Lotus Technique to test whether Su Qiwu had switched souls.
If it were a possession attempt, the pink lotus would turn black the moment it touched Fang Jinwu. Song Chi thought to herself, she would truly be in a dilemma. Although her previous life was only twenty-four years long, her life experiences were indeed quite rich, and they were always etched in her heart. Besides, Fang Jinwu had grown up with her, practically like a brother.
As a result, not only were Jiang Linyue's pink lotuses intact, but the white lotuses that Mo Shubai flew over were also perfectly white.
Jiang Linyue breathed a sigh of relief and punched Su Qiwu (as she would be called from now on) on the shoulder. "You scared me to death!"
Song Chi also breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Qingyu and Mo Feiyun had just been poised to attack, Su Yu's expression was solemn, and even Qi Zhenmo's eyes flickered slightly. It seemed these brothers had a good relationship. However, possession was indeed extremely cruel. This outcome was for the best.
"So, you were also reborn?" Jiang Linyue realized that her brother was still her brother, and after regaining her senses, she turned around and asked Song Chi.
At this moment, the golden scroll emitted a burst of golden light, spreading towards them. This time, it revealed to everyone present the underlying logic and reasons for the rule that the cultivation world's seal is broken once every 100,000 years.
There's no need to worry about them leaking it. The Dao Yuan Fruit has another use: the Silence-Suppressing Fruit. No matter what method they use, they cannot reveal this secret to anyone in this realm. This is why this rule can continue to be followed. It must be said that Immortal Lord Qiongyu truly had a flawless plan.
Moreover, there are plans for the next 100,000 years, and a grand plan to restart spiritual power a million years from now. Song Chi alone could never accomplish all of this; it will require everyone to use their unique abilities to complete the plans and continue this game's rules.
However, it was clear that everyone's expressions changed after reading through these layers of rules. After all, they had all been part of this game's rules before, and at this moment, they instantly felt a small amount of anger as pawns. Song Chi merely chuckled inwardly at this.
"This plan is excellent." Xue Rongzhan, Cui Luoying, and Mo Shubai, being the more composed ones, had likely discussed it in coded language. Xue Rongzhan's words clearly indicated their approval of the plan. The others were indifferent, simply nodding in agreement.
They still have plenty of time; after all, it will take another three hundred years for their spiritual power to recover to its peak. It's not too late to gather together and make arrangements three hundred years later.
Moreover, the Venerables probably already know the location of the Flying Immortal Platform's emergence, as spiritual energy fluctuations have begun to appear in the distant sky. Soon, all the major powers will likely tear through the sky to come and witness this magnificent spectacle of the once-in-ten-thousand-years birth of the Immortal Palace.
Song Chi and his group, the people on the dark side, vanished in the blink of an eye like a wisp of smoke. They had to go back to playing the role of the self who was currently seeking enlightenment.
Soon, the spiritual energy in the sky indeed surged violently. Then, one after another, flying boats from various forces rolled out. As the cultivators gazed upon the two flawless white jade palaces soaring high in the misty clouds, many blushed, and some even trembled slightly. Immediately, a wave of ecstasy swept through them, and congratulations resounded everywhere. They all rushed towards their chosen ones and protectors, bowing deeply in gratitude.
Venerable Xueqiao examined the celestial palace and, sensing its ethereal and profound aura, seemed to gain some insight. He felt he might soon break through to the late stage of the Flying Immortal Realm. He didn't linger, glancing at Shu Bai's group. As protectors, Shu Bai and the others still had much to do.
According to ancient records, once the seal on the Flying Immortal Platform is broken, a grand ceremony will be held at the Hall of Martyrs in Changge City. Cui Xue Ruo, the destined person and protector, must both participate in this grand event and serve as the chief officiant to offer incense and worship the spirits of the martyrs.
However, Shu Bai was indeed moved. When Xue Qiao Venerable saw him leave, Shu Bai almost pushed aside the Immortal Alliance and the other Venerables, but in the end, he couldn't stop the rules that had been in place for millions of years. They were all invited onto the magnificent golden immortal ship that had been released. The spiritual energy rippled and tore through the sky, heading towards Changge City.
Without using any teleportation scrolls, Venerable Xueqiao immediately traveled back by divine speed. Along the way, he could hear the spiritual energy surging like a spring tide, the mountains instantly becoming verdant and beautiful, and exotic flowers and rare herbs bursting forth, as if singing a joyful song for the upcoming golden age of cultivation. He couldn't help but smile slightly; everything was perfect. Thus, there was no need for any struggle for the Ascension Token, and a conflict ended.
Next, it's time to arrange the marriage between the two. This time, once the sacrificial ceremony on Shu Bai's side is over, he will arrange for the two families to meet and finalize the marriage.
When Venerable Xueqiao returned to the sacred land of Yunhai Songshan at dusk, he noticed an extraordinary celestial aura emanating from the air above Song Chi's courtyard. He was secretly delighted; this girl had indeed found a Dao opportunity, likely awakened by the joyful energy of the flowing, surging spiritual power, like spring returning to the earth. He feared she would soon break through her limitations and reach the pinnacle of the Flying Immortal Realm. Venerable Xueqiao, too, suddenly felt a similar sensation and returned to his room to meditate and comprehend the Dao. Three months later, just as Venerable Xueqiao was unable to break through the barrier to the late stage of the Flying Immortal Realm, he was suddenly drawn by a wondrous wisp of pure energy from the Scarlet Rose Pavilion. Instantly, he felt refreshed and clear-headed, and the path ahead seemed vast and boundless. In a moment, he achieved enlightenment.
When he finished his cultivation and emerged from seclusion, Song Chi from the Scarlet Rose Pavilion had also emerged. He couldn't help but smile; this child had truly helped him a great deal this time. He then scanned Song Chi with his divine sense and discovered that Song Chi's body was indeed as stable and serene as a mountain, flowing with a gentle warmth, exhibiting a state of returning to simplicity. This was undoubtedly the perfected state of the Ascension Realm. Venerable Xue Qiao nodded in agreement; in this way, ascending together with Shu Bai would be a joyous occasion.
It was now roughly March, and the grand celebrations in the cultivation world should gradually come to an end. Shu Bai was also about to return.
The next morning, as expected, Shu Bai hurriedly returned to Tingquan Pavilion. Moreover, upon returning, Shu Bai immediately played a tune on the zither, conveying tender feelings to Fei Mei Pavilion. Only then did she go to the backyard to bathe with a smile.
Then, that brat casually walked out of the house with her hands behind her back. As soon as her senior brother went to the bathhouse, she jumped into the backyard of Shubai like a cat that had been smeared with fish, and was about to pry open the seal again. These two—! Mainly, this brat is really… Venerable Xueqiao rubbed his forehead, and without saying a word, used his spiritual power to bring Song Chi up the mountain.
"I have something to tell you." This was said to Song Chi, and also to Shu Bai.
Song Chi landed gracefully at the door, then respectfully entered the hall, bowed, and asked questions.
"Master, what brings you here?"
Venerable Xueqiao immediately agreed, asking Song Chi to sit down. After the boy served tea, he said, "I have invited you here today to discuss your marriage with your senior brother. I suggest that our two families meet soon to set a date for the wedding."
"W-what? A marriage! This... this..."
When Venerable Xueqiao saw that Song Chi had almost burned his hand with the tea, he quickly put the teacup down on the table and stopped drinking.
This surprised, even slightly reluctant, expression nearly made Venerable Xueqiao faint with anger. He was unaware that half a month ago, this girl had tried to break the seal on Shubai's bath, and the bathhouse, fearing her anger, had ultimately allowed her to succeed. The two of them had stayed in the bath… for at least half an hour. At that moment, Venerable Xueqiao decided in his heart that he had to quickly arrange their marriage, otherwise… he feared a premarital pregnancy might occur. Although he believed Shubai's willpower was not limited to this, he couldn't resist this shameless little devil.
"You don't mean... you're still unwilling to marry your senior brother?" Could it be that this brat's flirtatious nature hasn't changed, and her heart hasn't settled down yet?
Venerable Xueqiao almost raised his hand to strike. To be honest, Song Chi had already reached the peak of strength in this realm, but he still looked pure and innocent. In Venerable Xueqiao's eyes, he was actually still a naughty child who needed a beating to behave. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel an urge to strike.
Song Chi, on the other hand, seemed to know fear, lowering his head and fidgeting with his fingers. "It's not that... it's true I really like Senior Brother. It's just that marriage... Master, you don't understand, I want to date Senior Brother first..."
What kind of crazy romance is this? It's probably just some random nonsense on her mind. Just as Venerable Xueqiao slammed his hand on the table, about to yell, he sensed Shu Bai's figure reach the door and then quickly and quietly disappear. Probably worried he might scold Song Chi, Shu Bai had rushed over in a hurry. Hearing this, she'll probably be heartbroken… You brat!
Song Chi probably sensed it too, because she lowered her eyes and her nose twitched slightly. Then she looked up and smiled, "Then I'll trouble Master to arrange a marriage between me and my senior brother!"
He spoke succinctly, and his eyes were sincere.
Even Venerable Xueqiao was afraid she wasn't serious, and secretly glared at her, asking if she was really believing it. Had that butterfly's personality truly changed?
That brat didn't even glance at him, she just bowed and left. "Master, I'm going to find my eldest brother."
It's indeed time to comfort Shu Bai. Although Shu Bai was just strolling by Mingjing Lake, and the Cloud Sea Pine Hall hadn't even had its seal broken by Venerable Xueqiao, Shu Bai must have heard about it.
"Then I will contact the Mo family tomorrow, and you should also send a letter to your family explaining the situation."
"I understand, Master. I will write a letter when I get back."
As soon as he finished speaking, the white-clad figure landed on the shore of Mirror Lake. The shadows of the flowers instantly obscured the two figures, one in blue and one in white. Venerable Xueqiao didn't look any further and went to his study to write a letter to Qingchenzi. The old man, upon receiving this letter, would likely immediately prepare the betrothal gifts and rush over. Moreover, Shu Bai himself had probably already prepared all the betrothal gifts. That child had been in love for many years and had been busy making money for many years; his treasure trove was probably accumulating countless treasures like ants carrying grains of rice.
Song Chi landed by the Mirror Lake, where Mo Shubai stood smiling, waiting for her in the snow plum grove ahead. Although it was springtime, the snow plum trees, blessed by the earth's springtime energy, were now laden with pure white blossoms. The flowers swayed gently in the morning mist, a scene of dreamlike beauty. Although these flowers were a gift from Xue Rongzhan, they were indeed quite beautiful.
Song Chi walked to Mo Shubai's side and took her hand. After they took a few steps, he glanced at her. "If Third Junior Sister doesn't want to get married yet, I'm willing to wait a little longer. I'll go and talk to Master about it later."
Senior Brother is indeed too gentle. Although dating is important, getting married first wouldn't hurt. "No." Song Chi smiled at Mo Shubai, then took a step and threw herself into his arms. Mo Shubai immediately caught her, but subtly released a bit of spiritual energy to conceal it. "I think Master's arrangement is quite good!" Mo Shubai was still quite touched, his fingers unconsciously stroking her cheek. "I'm not sad, you don't need to accommodate me for this." Song Chi rubbed her cheek against his slightly warm palm, looking up and smiling: "Senior Brother, you know me, I can't accommodate you even a little bit." Mo Shubai seemed relieved and didn't say anything more.
The two then strolled around the lake until they reached the foot of Tingquan Pavilion Mountain. Mo Shubai, having just bathed, was still uneasy hearing the commotion on his master's side, so he immediately put on his robes and went up the mountain. At this moment, Song Chi gestured for them to go. "Senior Brother, let's go back to the room and bathe first."
Mo Shubai turned onto a secluded mountain path, but seeing Song Chi following, he immediately stopped with a smile. Song Chi crossed her arms and looked at him, but this time Mo Shubai seemed determined not to allow it. "Originally, we weren't even allowed to see each other before the engagement, Third Junior Sister," he explained softly. That's the rule of those feudal old men from the eight great families; other cultivators don't follow that rule. But it seems she also loves Mo Shubai's restraint.
"Fine," Song Chi said, taking a step back. Then he leaned in, tilted his head back, and asked for a kiss.
Mo Shubai was helpless this time. He immediately released his spiritual energy again, this time much denser, completely obscuring her. Only then did he pull her close and gently kiss her. Actually, Song Chi was a little shy this time, and she flinched slightly when his light breath touched her lips. Mo Shubai couldn't help but follow suit, and when their tongues lightly touched, Song Chi felt a surge of heat instantly spread throughout her body, her limbs suddenly going weak. Unfortunately, Mo Shubai was so annoying; he then pulled away from her lips after a brief kiss, then smiled slightly and pulled her into his arms, his chin pressed tightly against her ear. Wasn't this actually more ambiguous?
However, after the two of them had somewhat calmed their racing blood, Song Chi couldn't help but tilt her head back and blow the little flames from her nose, "Senior Brother, let's hurry up and get married!" Oh ho, I'm going to devour you. Mo Shubai roughly understood the meaning in her eyes at a glance. He smiled slightly with a somewhat helpless expression and finally nodded. He was probably defeated by her old lecherous nature.
Song Chi happily returned to the Scarlet Rose Pavilion and immediately went to her study to write a letter. Halfway through, she realized such an important matter required her immediate return. Moreover, it was time for her parents to consume the Golden Cloud Grass. With this surge of spiritual energy, they should soon be able to achieve the True Path Golden Core. She hurriedly went to inform her master of this matter. Her master slapped his forehead in slight annoyance, indicating that it was only right.
"Then you should go home first and see what your family's rules are. Then write to me to discuss it. Once both sides have set a date, I will bring Shubai to propose marriage."
Song Chi didn't linger. He went back to his room to tidy up, then went to say goodbye to Mo Shubai. After that, he hurriedly went down the mountain to return to his hometown.
