Chapter 464: I Will Only Marry a Hero!
Marriage!
As soon as these two words were spoken, everyone present widened their eyes in shock, without exception, including Zhou Tong!
“Hehe… not a bad idea.”
After a moment, Zhou Tong started to laugh, staring intently at his sister’s neck as if he wanted to strike it down with a knife.
Looking at the current situation, it surely doesn’t feel like a good time for a wedding.
“I also think this is a good thing!”
Li Mu stepped forward and said seriously.
“Grandpa… even you…”
Zhou Tong was a bit stunned, not expecting the Old Man to be this anxious.
“Think about it, you and Yue’er have known each other for a long time, and now with the marriage pact in place, isn’t this a destined opportunity for a good match? What’s there to hesitate about?”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tong felt somewhat dismissive.
He and the Little Demoness were already in love; did they really need the damn marriage pact to witness it!
“What do you think, Yue’er?”
He looked back to see the Little Demoness with red cheeks, her gaze drifting, one hand covering her pretty face, while the amber ring on her finger stood out even more.
Everything was unsaid!
“Ahem…”
Seeing this scene, Zhou Tong couldn’t help but cough twice, his gaze suddenly becoming resolute as he made up his mind.
“Come here!”
As the words fell, guards from the Li Family appeared, kneeling at his feet.
“The people from the You Family haven’t gone far; bring them all to me—every key person cannot be missed!”
“Yes, sir!”
Watching this scene, everyone was overjoyed; even the in-laws were invited—this was going to happen!
…
That night, the Li Family was adorned with lights and decorations, and fireworks filled the sky—it was bustling beyond imagination.
Such unusual activity naturally attracted the attention of various factions.
“What are they up to? Making such a fuss? Just back and already so high-profile; do they want to be the rulers of the Central Continent?”
Someone said discontentedly, only to be slapped by an elder beside them.
“Shut your mouth! If those words reach that young man’s ears, our whole family will have to bear the consequences!”
Unbeknownst to when, Zhou Tong’s influence had accumulated to such an extent that victors and strong warriors always possessed an awe-inspiring charisma.
“It’s confirmed—it’s the young master of the Li Family hosting a wedding, marrying the Virgin Saint of the Celestial Master Clan!”
Suddenly, a well-informed person received the news and spoke the truth, making many breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as that individual doesn’t stir up trouble, they wouldn’t mind if a wedding were held ten times in a day.
“Now that he’s getting married… should we go and give our congrats?”
Someone suddenly asked, leaving those around him stunned.
“Give congrats? What a ridiculous joke! We have no connection with him; why should we give him gifts!”
“Exactly! It’s just a small Li Family; why do we need to be so cautious? As if we’ve been too accustomed to being treated like dogs… I won’t say more; you all can chat; I’m heading home!”
Watching that person’s departing back, it seemed in an instant that everyone lost interest in continuing the conversation.
“Then… I’ll take my leave too!”
“Me too!”
“I’m out as well!”
…
Atop the floating island of the Li Family, various gifts had already piled up, many from forces completely unrelated to the Li Family.
They had good sense, hurriedly dropping off the gifts, leaving their names, and then leaving. The island tonight was not welcoming to outsiders.
As the night grew deep, the two protagonists finished all the formalities and, with everyone as witnesses, they tightly embraced each other.
It was undoubtedly a rushed wedding, to the point it could be considered opportunistic, but everyone was very happy.
“Yue’er, will you marry me? From now on, I’ll take care of you!”
Zhou Tong held the beauty in his arms tightly, feeling an immense tranquility within, as if he had become complete.
“This is my dream; I’ve always been willing since the beginning!”
The maiden spoke gently, tears already glistening in her eyes. She felt as if this scene was somewhat surreal, her brows burning with intensity, her Spiritual Power even igniting.
Seeing this, Zhou Tong gently kissed her forehead, calming the roaring flames of his heart.
He said, “Today’s ceremony was held too hastily; when the world is at peace, we will hold a grand wedding. At that time, I want everyone in the world to come and give congrats!”
“Moreover, I want to let the era of peace be your crown, let unmatched nobility be the gem on that crown, let the blessings of the multitude be your long dress, and let the eternal everlasting be our palace!”
“Mm… I hope that day comes soon!”
“It’s getting late; please, the newlyweds, go to the bridal chamber!”
Xuan Ge suddenly spoke, putting her hands together in a strange gesture.
At this moment, she activated the marriage pact, and brilliant light fell, paving a brilliant path. The two walked on starlight into the sacred hall!
“How wonderful!”
Someone said enviously. If there were one person on this island tonight to find disappointment, it would undoubtedly be the Empress.
“How does it feel?”
Xuan Ge walked up, teasingly asking.
“Hmph! It’s just like that!”
The Empress turned her head away, haughtily responding.
“Hehe… I thought you would be crying and throwing a fit, but that’s one less good show for me to watch.”
“You think who I am? What I desire will one day be mine!”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ge couldn’t help but clap her hands, a sly smile breaking through her lips.
“That’s really inspirational! But when that time comes, won’t you feel awkward?”
“Why would I feel awkward?”
“Oh, there are plenty of reasons! For example, when you kiss him, you’ll find he’s incredibly skilled; when you’re intimate, he’ll compare you to other women…”
“And when you prepare surprises for him, he’ll internally critique that your surprise isn’t as good as other women’s. When you make sacrifices for him, he’ll feel it’s only natural…”
“Enough! Stop talking!”
The Empress’s face turned pale, tears welling up in her eyes, on the verge of crying.
Seeing this, Xuan Ge halted, realizing she had gone too far.
“Don’t cry; I’m not teasing you anymore. Truthfully, the marriage pact has its omens. Your future will be very prosperous, with many children and blessings; you will not be treated unfairly!”
“Really?”
The Empress held back her impulse to sob, blinking her big eyes and asking.
“I can swear by the heavens; it’s absolutely true. The marriage pact will never go wrong.”
“But is that thing reliable?”
The Empress had just begun to smile, only to be plagued with doubt again.
“Remove the ‘if’ from your vocabulary. Marriage is one of the most weighted pacts, sacred and real; it absolutely will not go wrong.”
Xuan Ge said confidently: “This pact can even cross the barriers of time and space; lovers blessed by the pact will therefore see their fate clearly—no matter past lives or this life, there will be no omissions!”
Hearing this, the Empress finally couldn’t help but laugh: “It’s truly just something to deceive children; how could there be past lives in this world!”
…
At this moment, in the bridal chamber, there were no joyful scenes one would expect.
The Little Demoness stood in a fiery red wedding dress, holding a sharp sword, glaring coldly at the person before her.
“You heartless scoundrel! Simply playing with me isn’t enough; now you want to use this wedding to deceive me!”
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Tong felt a thunderous shock in his heart!
He rubbed his eyes, a bit incredulous.
The demoness before him seemed like someone from a past life; he would never forget those eyes filled with sorrow and despair.
“Yue’er…”
He instinctively called out.
“Don’t call me that!”
The Little Demoness raised her sword, pointing it at Zhou Tong’s chest.
“I’m going to dig out your heart and see if it’s made of stone!”
She approached step by step, while Zhou Tong stepped back, his gaze fixed on her.
With a plop, Zhou Tong found himself pushed to the edge of the bed, sitting down unceremoniously.
Unbeknownst to when, the Little Demoness had morphed into the Great Demoness. From Zhou Tong’s perspective, she looked down at him, her expression icy, breathtakingly beautiful, causing him to momentarily lose his senses.
Perhaps it was an illusion; the Great Demoness slightly lifted the corner of her mouth for a moment, then returned to indifference.
“Don’t look at me! This outfit is only for my future husband, and I will only marry a hero! Are you a hero?”
