Chapter 82 Extra Chapter 3 [VIP]
The story of the great demon of Lingyue Palace could go on for three days and three nights, just the recent massacre of the Scorpion Palace alone could keep the entire continent talking about it for three days and three nights.
Ten years have passed, and the hype surrounding the Scorpion Palace massacre has almost died down. Now, storytellers on the mainland are worried about not having any new topics to come up with. Of course, they do have some, but they are all old stories.
For example, what's so special about some expert finally advancing in rank? They haven't surpassed Yue Ling yet! Or what's so special about some poor boy finding a legacy at the bottom of a cliff? Does that mean he'll ascend to immortality and become the strongest person on the entire continent in a single day? And what about some pampered young man and woman getting married? That's even less interesting. There are plenty of pampered young men and women in the world, and even more getting married. What's there to say?
Storytellers need to make a living too, you know. If there are no exciting moments or interesting stories, who will listen? Don't even mention it, they themselves won't listen.
The storyteller is worried; alas, life is getting harder and harder.
Listeners are also worried. They cultivate day and night, and finally get a few days off. They just want to relax, and listening to audiobooks is one of their ways to relax. Suddenly there's nothing to listen to, and they really don't feel used to it.
"Speaking of which, it's not like we haven't heard stories about Lingyue Palace, the great demon. So why do we feel a little strange not hearing about what he's done?"
"Tsk, you're such a muddle-headed person, you don't even understand this."
"Hey, judging from your tone, you seem to know a lot."
"Tell me, who else can be like Yue Ling, who received attention from everyone from birth, and after adulthood, soared to the sky and remained undefeated against many veteran big shots, gaining the attention of the entire continent?"
"without."
"Who else could defeat so many forces single-handedly, survive the oppression of those forces, and even establish their own power to become the number one force on the entire continent?"
"without……"
"Who else can be like him, becoming the number one on the mainland and never being defeated?"
"without……"
"So, we say it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Do you understand?"
"...I understand."
After this summary, the man finally understood why. Compared to the legendary life of the great demon lord Yue Ling, what they had heard before seemed utterly tasteless.
To put it bluntly, after listening to too much stimulating stuff and being constantly on the high front, listening to something less stimulating just doesn't feel right.
However, the storytellers and listeners felt that life was a bit boring. But if the teahouses and restaurants didn't tell the story of the great demon of Lingyue Palace, they had to tell something else, otherwise they would have no work. They had to find something else to tell.
Thus, those who had been suppressed by Yue Ling on the main road finally had their day to rise. The happiest were those big shots who had finally advanced after years of bottlenecks, those lucky ones who had finally found a place of inheritance to ascend to great heights, and those pampered children who were happily getting married but didn't receive any blessings.
Almost instantly, they prepared several sets of books, enough for storytellers to talk about for days and nights.
Things unfolded as they had imagined, and over the years, their story had become known to others. But it wasn't enough, because even so, people didn't talk about them much.
It's okay, if a few years isn't enough, then a decade or more should be fine.
Yue Ling didn't become famous overnight; he took time to build his reputation. The crowd selectively ignored the explosive event of Yue Ling's meteoric rise and continent-slaughtering rampage, comforting themselves instead.
The group consoled themselves, and others followed suit, enthusiastically writing their own books and taking them to storytelling houses or teahouses to spread their stories.
—There's a little person inside everyone who wants to be famous.
For a time, almost nothing about Lingyue Palace was mentioned on the main road. Even the fact that Lingyue Palace had built arrays everywhere ten years ago was no longer mentioned, and the entire Illusion Demon Continent was immersed in a strange joy.
Why!
Those people were happy, but the storyteller and the listeners were not.
Neither the storyteller sitting on top nor the listeners sitting below were particularly interested.
Old Yun was one of the storytellers who made a living by telling stories about Lingyue Palace. The teahouse where he told stories had powerful backers, so he could get information about Lingyue Palace as soon as possible. Thanks to that connection, he was doing very well in the storytelling world. But he has been unhappy for the past year. A couple of months ago, he was still able to talk about the Lingyue Palace building an array. These were things that ordinary people didn't know about, only he did.
Ordinary people only know that Lingyue Palace is building an array, but they don't know what the purpose of building an array is. As a result, although there is a market for building arrays, it is not as popular as it used to be. It was only a hot topic for a few months ten years ago. Who could have imagined that building arrays would continue for so many years? So now only one or two people will remember it and ask a few questions.
He overheard something from headquarters and heard that Lingyue Palace was doing this to build a very powerful formation. No one knew exactly what its purpose was, but Elder Yun had heard that if the formation was completed, Lingyue Palace would definitely make a big move.
To put it bluntly, Elder Yun had been waiting for months, hoping Lingyue Palace would make a big move so he could have a proper talk with them. However, for some reason, Lingyue Palace had been completely silent for the past two months, without a single sound. Not only that, but the experts from Lingyue Palace had also stayed inside, their activities unknown.
With a sigh, Old Man Yun decided to tell another story. Just then, a thin old man walked up to him. Old Man Yun recognized the man; he was the manager of the teahouse, and more importantly, he was the person who had come from headquarters to deliver a message to him.
Could it be that headquarters has some new information about Lingyue Palace?
Elder Yun was excited. He stepped down from the storytelling stage and walked towards the old man. "Steward Chen, is there any news about Lingyue Palace?"
Manager Chen snorted, his expression extremely unpleasant. Elder Yun, feeling a bit nervous and uncertain, cautiously asked, "What happened?"
Faced with Elder Yun's question, Steward Chen's wrinkled face darkened even more, turning extremely black. His icy tone contained unvented anger and a sense of suppressed dissatisfaction. "Yes."
"What?" Elder Yun asked curiously.
"That great demon of Lingyue Palace... Yue Ling... he's getting married! He's actually getting married!"
Elder Yun: "!!!"
Manager Chen: "...Why are you so agitated? Don't you think about how this will affect Young Master Yun and Miss Meng's marriage?"
He was naturally excited; Yue Ling's marriage was a momentous occasion!
Who is the bride? Which family's daughter is she? Which powerful or influential family would marry their daughter to Yue Ling? I've never heard of him having anyone he likes. How old is that girl? Where does she live? How many people are in her family? How many acres of land does she own? How high is her cultivation level? We know nothing about any of this!
He hadn't expected Yue Ling's marriage partner to be a man. After all, while men did get together in the Illusionary Demon Continent, no one had ever married so openly. Besides, heterosexuality was the mainstream in this world.
Elder Yun had a premonition that once this news got out, the entire continent would be in an uproar!
That's Yue Ling!
Yue Ling has never been involved in any scandals despite being famous for so many years!
I've heard that some girls like him, like the black cat who still lives in Lingyue Palace and is a magical beast in human form, and Yun Miaomiao, who is considered the best in the world, but I've never seen Yue Ling treat either of them kindly.
So, who exactly is it that can bring that big devil into their fold?
Not to mention the listeners, even the storyteller himself wanted to know who that person was.
Excited, his cheeks flushed, Old Master Yun looked expectantly at Steward Chen, hoping to glean some inside information to satisfy his craving. However, Steward Chen remained silent, his face grim. Old Master Yun then remembered something: Steward Chen was a devoted fan of Young Master Yun and Miss Meng. He disliked Yue Ling, only admiring young masters and ladies from aristocratic families like Young Master Yun and Miss Meng. In his eyes, they were the true chosen ones, while Yue Ling, a latecomer to the profession, was simply lucky. If it weren't for the need for a meal, he wouldn't have taken on this mission of delivering information.
Elder Yun: "..."
If he weren't still working under Manager Chen, he would have really wanted to say: You rely on others for your livelihood, yet you also slander them. Can you please stop being so hypocritical?
...However, he dared not.
In the end, Elder Yun still couldn't find out who that person was. He only knew that on the third day of next month, Lingyue Palace would hold that world wedding banquet. Lingyue Palace invited talents from all over the world, and the wedding invitations were sent to the entire continent. Almost all the big shots received one. There were thousands of big shots with names and surnames all over the continent, as well as newly appointed potential geniuses and pampered sons and daughters who were already famous but not as famous as him. All in all, the number of people was tens of thousands.
It can be said that Lingyue Palace has devoted all its resources to preparing for this wedding banquet.
Not only Elder Yun received the news, but the other storytellers did as well, and they were just as excited as Elder Yun. They were of one mind and immediately changed their prepared stories to the wedding banquet at Lingyue Palace.
That day, the bored listeners below noticed something: the storyteller seemed quite excited. Curious, they sat down to see why he was so excited.
"Sir, if you don't tell a good story, you're not going home today."
The storyteller, unfazed, said, "Hehehe, you'll definitely find this story interesting. Just today, a red cloud appeared in the sky, spreading from the center of Lingyue Palace and flying to all parts of the continent. Do you know what that was?"
The others were puzzled. "What is it?"
"Hehehe, wedding invitation!"
"Wedding invitation? Old man, it's just a wedding invitation, what's so interesting about it? It's not like anyone isn't married."
"Hey, you're not right about that. I just haven't gotten married yet. Listen on, do you know whose wedding invitation it was?"
"Whose?"
The storyteller kept everyone in suspense until they were getting impatient, then slowly revealed, "It's Yue Ling's. That great demon Yue Ling from Lingyue Palace is getting married, and the wedding invitation is his."
The great demon of Lingyue Palace, Yue Ling, is getting married.
The great demon Yue Ling of Yue Palace is getting married.
The great demon Yue Ling is getting married.
The great demon Yue Ling is getting married.
The great demon Yue Ling is getting married.
The Demon Lord Yue Ling is getting married.
Tou Yueling is getting married
Yue Ling is getting married
Ling is getting married
They're getting married.
They got married
They kissed
Already
...
As soon as the storyteller spoke, the scene fell silent. Only this sentence echoed in everyone's minds: Yue Ling, the great demon of Lingyue Palace, was getting married.
He's actually getting married!
The initial reaction from the crowd was: "???"
Then came: "??!"
Then came: "?!!"
Finally, it ends with: "!!!"
"Impossible!" One person was the first to come to his senses. He stood up and questioned emphatically, "Yue Ling can't possibly get married. Who could he marry? Who is that girl? Where does she live? How many people are in her family? What is her cultivation level? How did she meet Yue Ling? Yue Ling would get married? If he really does get married, I'll eat all the books written about him!"
"Yes, that's right, me too!"
"Yue Ling getting married? What a huge joke!"
"He'll get married? You're not just making this up because you can't afford to eat, are you?"
"Just you wait. If Lingyue Palace finds out that you've been making up stories about him, you'll be coming after them!"
"Tell me, which family would dare to marry their daughter to such a great devil? Aren't they afraid of being killed on their wedding night?"
It wasn't just the storyteller who was being questioned; Elder Yun was also being questioned. No, it shouldn't be said that it wasn't just them who were being questioned, because even the headquarters that relayed the information to them couldn't help but question it. After receiving the wedding invitations, all the bigwigs gathered together, doing nothing but holding a meeting.
Subject: Is the great demon of Lingyue Palace really getting married? Compiled by the Yuxi Team, please stay tuned.
Content: Impossible! I don't believe it! Yue Ling can get married? Even if the sky falls, it's impossible! Who is that person? Who would be so blind as to like Yue Ling, and why would Yue Ling be so blind as to like that person? Absolutely impossible! This must be a conspiracy, a conspiracy by Yue Ling! They realized that Lingyue Palace's reputation on the continent wasn't as great as it used to be, so they started causing trouble, trying to draw everyone's attention back to Lingyue Palace.
All the big shots engaged in a heated discussion about Lingyue Palace's conspiracy. They even took out the wedding invitation issued by Lingyue Palace and studied it with the same amount of effort they put into cultivation, and tried their best to provide evidence.
"Look, this person is called Yin Chu Jiu. Who is Yin Chu Jiu? Have you ever heard of Yin Chu Jiu?"
"No, how could we have ever heard of such a despicable person?"
"Look at this again, the name Yin Chu Jiu doesn't stand up to scrutiny at all. Who would choose such a name? It must have been something Yue Ling just came up with randomly!"
"Wait, this name sounds familiar."
"What? You've actually heard of him? Where did you hear that? Could it be that there really is such a person as Yin Chu Jiu?!"
"Don't rush. I heard that Yue Ling comes from the Yue family in Juanyun Lane, Yundu City. At that time, besides the Yue family, there was also the Yin family in Juanyun Lane. It seems that the Yin family boy was named in this way, numbering from one to eleven, so there are Yin Chuyi, Yin Chuer, and Yin Chujiu. Therefore, the name Yin Chujiu should exist."
The bigwigs: "..."
There really is such a name!
The bigwigs had mixed feelings. So what? Wasn't their earlier speculation just a joke?
However, they soon realized that it was not a joke, because the big shot continued, "But I heard that the Yin family has long been retaliated against by Yue Ling, and the Yue and Yin families have long since broken up. I don't know if those people are dead or not, but Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling must be enemies, so they absolutely cannot get married."
The bigwigs: "..."
"Hmph! I knew Yue Ling was lying! How could the Yin family possibly marry their daughter to Yue Ling!" said a bigwig.
"Heh, I knew that was Yue Ling's doing to attract everyone's attention!" a bigwig chimed in.
"That Yue Ling guy is simply... doesn't know what it means to be low-key!" a big shot chimed in.
"They'd do something like this just to become famous!" a bigwig added.
As soon as that big shot said that, all the big shots looked at him. Wait, wasn't it you who wrote a book for yourself to become famous? They said that writing a book for yourself and then taking it to a storytelling hall was embarrassing for him.
The last bigwig to speak blushed and said in a booming voice, "What's wrong! Can't people even want to be famous?!"
The same thing happened in other parts of the Illusionary Demon Continent. From big shots to rising stars, from grassroots prodigies to aristocratic scions, from commoners to beggars, everyone was having a meeting. Even those who were in seclusion rushed out without regard for their cultivation level when they heard the news.
In short, no one on the entire mainland believed that Yue Ling was getting married.
In the following days, everyone was watching Lingyue Palace's movements. To their surprise, Lingyue Palace was indeed making preparations. From headquarters to branches, everything was decorated with red silk cloth and large red "double happiness" characters. Everyone was preparing wedding cakes and noodles. Yun Miaomiao and Black Cat even went to the most famous candy shop at headquarters to order wedding candy.
Everyone across the continent: "..."
Yes, it's fake, it's definitely fake.
This is all a show, a complete show.
However, on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Lingyue Palace opened its doors to the public and invited outsiders in for the first time. Inside Lingyue Palace, large round tables were set up everywhere, covered with red cloth. Everyone in Lingyue Palace wore a red belt around their waist, and the entire palace was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Everyone: "..."
Could it be that Yue Ling is really getting married?
The third day of next month will be here soon; time always flies when you're busy.
The night before, Yin Chu Jiu changed into his Cantonese embroidered wedding dress. The dress was bright red, of course, you have to wear bright red for your wedding, but he was very excited. This was his wedding, a once-in-a-lifetime event, how could he not be excited?
The wedding dress was the exact size he was wearing. It was embroidered with dark auspicious clouds, and the hem was decorated with intricate patterns in gold thread. The dress was designed to his measurements and was made by all the embroiderers in Lingyue Palace over a month, perfectly showcasing his slender figure.
The red color accentuated his fair skin, and the palm-width belt highlighted his slender waist. In short, he was quite a sight to behold.
It wasn't that Yin Chu Jiu was narcissistic; he genuinely thought this was the best he ever looked. His hair hadn't grown very long, only reaching his shoulders, but honestly, it was growing quite fast. His not-so-long hair was tied into a ponytail, held up by a red headband. The neat ponytail made him look very energetic!
Sitting on the bed, Yin Chu Jiu was a little nervous. She looked at her shoes, her clothes, and her hair, checking every part of her from head to toe, afraid that there might be some flaws.
The black cat stood to one side, feeling extremely aggrieved. "There are no flaws, there really are no flaws, please don't check anymore."
Yin Chu Jiu chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, I'm just nervous."
Black Cat: "..."
Honestly, she's really wronged. The person she likes is going to marry someone else. Not only does she have nowhere to vent her sadness, but she also has to help her rival deal with the situation. Is there anyone in the world as wronged as her? No.
The auspicious hour arrived quickly amidst Yin Chu Jiu's nervous anticipation. He tidied himself up a bit more before getting up and leaving. Leaving the room, led by the black cat, Yin Chu Jiu arrived at the place where they would hold their wedding. Upon arrival, he breathed a sigh of relief—everything went smoothly!
They actually rehearsed this route several times, just in case they made a mistake.
This is a long bluestone path. At the end of the bluestone path are two old memorial tablets, while at both ends of the bluestone path are waves of black and red, one on the left and one on the right, all of which are the guests who have come to visit.
The black ones are people, and the red ones are silk cloth.
However, standing on the bluestone path, Yin Chu Jiu's gaze was not on the guests; his attention was entirely drawn to the handsome man standing not far away. The man had changed out of his usual black robe and was now dressed in a red wedding suit, just like Yin Chu Jiu. He held a large red flower in his hand, and the red robe accentuated his imposing presence, but his handsome and delicate face was even more captivating.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with tenderness as he gazed at him from afar, his beautiful eyes seeing only him.
The couple cannot meet the night before the wedding, so he hadn't seen Yue Ling since yesterday. Seeing him today, he knew that Yue Ling was indeed the most beautiful today!
The black cat was gone. Someone led him to Yue Ling. Yin Chu Jiu looked at the increasingly handsome Yue Ling, his mouth dry, unable to utter a single word. His heart pounded wildly, as if it would leap out of his chest.
"Yue Ling." He called out, his voice slightly hoarse.
Yue Ling nodded and said, "Today we will get married."
As he spoke, he handed one end of the red flower in his hand to Yin Chu Jiu, telling him to hold it. Yin Chu Jiu was extremely nervous, but she gripped the red silk tightly, then looked at Yue Ling and began to walk towards the end of the bluestone path.
His mind was blank the whole way; he couldn't think of anything, and all he could see and feel was Yue Ling. It wasn't until he reached the end of the bluestone path and saw the old memorial tablet that he came back to his senses.
"Chu Jiu, do you still remember when I took you to see my parents' memorial tablets in the illusion?"
Yin Chu Jiu's voice was hoarse, "I remember."
Yue Ling smiled and said, "Do you know what I was thinking back then?"
Yin Chu Jiu shook her head. "I don't know."
“At that time, I thought, ‘Father, Mother, this is your wife. I’ve brought her to see you.’” Yue Ling turned his head, his extremely handsome face facing Yin Chu Jiu, a long-lasting look of nostalgia appearing in his deep and profound eyes. “I thought back then that one day, I would definitely marry you. Now, we are really married.”
Yin Chu Jiu was stunned. After a long while, she slowly nodded, her eyes moist. "Yes, we got married."
"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling bowed to heaven and earth.
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling paid their respects to their parents.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling bowed to each other.
"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
Clutching the red silk ribbon, Yin Chu Jiu and Yue Ling, led by the master of ceremonies, walked towards the bridal chamber prepared for them in the palace. After the wedding ceremony, Yin Chu Jiu was finally less nervous. As he and Yue Ling walked towards the bridal chamber, he finally had the mind to divert his attention to the others.
To his shame, as a newlywed, he, like everyone else, wanted to see the expressions on the faces of the guests, to see if they were happy for them. After all, it was his wedding, and even if those people didn't like Yue Ling, they had to smile, right? They had to wish them well, right?
With that thought in mind, Yin Chu Jiu looked down. Thanks to his sharp eyesight, he could see the faces of those people. However, when he saw their expressions clearly, Yin Chu Jiu was somewhat stunned.
Those people didn't look happy at all; they couldn't even pretend. Everyone's expression was stiff, their eyes wide, and their mouths were even rudely open, as if they had witnessed something shocking.
It's just getting married!
Are those people really that serious? Oh, really that serious!
How could it not be that bad!
That's really going too far!
Everyone's feelings were completely different from Yin Chu Jiu's. At this moment, they only had one thought: Yue Ling really got married! He really got married! Damn it, the invitations he sent out before weren't fake! They were real!
All their previous speculations now seem like a joke!
Not only that, Yue Ling's marriage partner was actually a man! This was far beyond their expectations!
So, why don't they look a little overreacted? Ah! Why don't they look a little overreacted!
As for their smiles, even when they clearly saw Yue Ling's bridesmaid, they seemed so fake. Although they were always faking their smiles, they had never made a mistake when faking their smiles at weddings in the past!
So, everyone who attended the wedding was completely bewildered.
And so, after the wedding, the storytellers on the Fantasy Demon Continent had a new topic to tell.
#That great demon of Lingyue Palace really got married, and his bride-to-be is a man!#
This successfully improved the overall living standards of storytellers in the Fantasy Demon Continent, who were filled with joy every day.
The bigwigs: Damn it, it's just a wedding, does it have to be this high-profile?! Are they trying to kill us all?!
Author's Note:
Oops, I accidentally wrote so many words _(:з」∠)_
There are two more short side stories: one is about Yin Chu Jiu's daily cultivation, and the other is about An Jin Jin Jin Jin Jin Jin Jin Jin Jin Jin's wish to return to the modern world to visit her family.

Title: Offering Yourself Up
Pixiu: Greedy, fond of wealth, only takes in and never gives out, vengeful, can attract wealth and good fortune, and ward off evil and misfortune.
Copy 1
After Chen Shier smashed a Pixiu statue that was said to protect wealth, he experienced three things.
1. Being fired for no reason. 2. Tripping and falling on flat ground while walking. 3. Waking up one night to find a man on top of him, forcibly kissing him.
Enraged, Chen Shier called the police, but the very next day, the man who had forcibly kissed him became his neighbor.
The neighbor had a bad temper and a terrible personality. He accused him of stealing his things, and said he could only get them back by kissing him.
Thus, unable to escape, Chen Shier was forced to go through the following events.
Sleeping Beauty, a performance at a community celebration.
He was rescued from drowning and given artificial respiration.
A domineering neighbor's forced kiss in the elevator...
In order to get rid of his bad luck, he decided to go to a Taoist temple to seek a talisman to change his fortune. As a result, he discovered that the master was actually the same person as his neighbor.
Chen Twelve: QAQ!
Pixiu, who had been sleeping for a hundred years, woke up to find that the hundred treasures he had collected had vanished without a trace, and the thief was actually a human. His treasures were all inside that human's stomach, and the only way to retrieve them was through a kiss.
And only one piece of treasure can be taken out at a time.
In a fit of rage to reclaim the treasure, Pish attacked the human.
The first time, it was disgusting.
The second time, it felt pretty good.
The third time was really good.
Copywriting 2
After being forcibly kissed forty-nine times, Chen Shier finally understood the true identity of the kissing maniac and broke down.
"Big Boss Pixiu, I was wrong. I promise to offer you the best incense, the purest gold statue, and the best fruit. As long as you release me, I'm willing to provide you with anything."
Pixiu glanced at it and reluctantly said, "Offer yourself up."
A lighthearted and adorable mythological story, full of silly and silly humor, meant to make you laugh. It features a poor, greedy human as the bottom and a stingy, auspicious mythical beast as the top.
1. You can only get one treasure back from a kiss, so this article is also known as: Hundreds of Fancy Kissing Techniques.
2. The attacker is like a Pixiu, holding grudges and being stingy.
3. The protagonist is not actually human. Important: This is a story about a mythical beast falling in love with an invisible mythical beast who thinks he is human.
