Jiang Xuan never imagined that after finally trusting the System once, it would lead him to lose so thoroughly.
Dammit, who has an invisibility charm that only hides clothes?!
And worse, the clothes were hidden but didn’t obstruct visual recognition. This is as good as the emperor’s new clothes—absolute embarrassment in public.
Well, there’s one difference—I just couldn’t make my clothes invisible, whereas he had no clothes at all.
For Jiang Xuan, the silver lining was that he hadn’t used this charm during his wedding; otherwise, he’d have been stripped bare by the System.
Jiang Xuan quickly took off the invisibility charm and tore it to pieces.
But because it was still in its invisibility mode, it looked like an odd dance in Nan Gong Liu Yun’s eyes.
At this moment, Nan Gong Liu Yun spoke as if in deep thought.
“Husband, could you be… playing tricks to get my attention?
Alas, I wanted to give you a few days of rest, but you’re being so active.
Fine, since it’s your expectation, I have to respond appropriately.”
Jiang Xuan: “???????”
“Wait, Liu Yun, hear me out—I got tangled up by accident…”
“Accident? So, are you saying you truly wanted to be invisible and flee?”
Nan Gong Liu Yun’s face darkened, her gaze narrowing on Jiang Xuan’s legs.
Jiang Xuan: “……”
He internally panicked:
‘Not again? I can’t admit I got tangled in an escape attempt or I’ll lose my legs!’
Smiling bitterly, Jiang Xuan said,
“Liu Yun, you misunderstood—I meant… you saw through my plans.”
“So, you were trying to seduce me, right?”
“Oh… Yes…”
Since being trapped by the super-invisibility charm, Jiang Xuan became a clear loser.
And losers rely on The Great Sage.
Two hours later, Nan Gong Liu Yun left happily.
She tapped his forehead and said,
“If you try to run away, I’ll make sure the consequences are severe.
For now, I’m letting you off lightly as long as you stay within the Great Jiang Imperial City.”
…..
Back in his family home, Jiang Xuan looked thoroughly exhausted.
After dinner, he headed back to his room.
In the System space,
“The System, why did you release something so… unimpressive? I didn’t expect a single charm to help me escape anyway.
Looks like escape isn’t happening.
Ah well, maybe being a good husband isn’t so bad.
Just wondering how long I need to secretly cultivate to actually defend myself.
Sigh, if not for your ridiculous replication feature, I’d have no hopes for cultivation at all.”
Scanning system: “…………”
“Beep! Master, fear not. No matter what, I will keep you safe.
Should I encounter any danger that can’t be avoided, I will intervene.”
Jiang Xuan: “…………”
Jiang Xuan always believed his System, though troublesome at times, held some secrets.
Unknown to him, within the System space hid a mysterious door, bound by countless black chains, emanating ancient power.
……
Three days passed quietly. Nan Gong Liu Yun didn’t come knocking.
Every day, Jiang Xuan practiced in his courtyard, occasionally eating with his mother.
Quietly training for three days, Jiang Xuan used over a billion high-grade spirit stones and reached peak Sky Martial Level One.
Now estimating his combat power against average Martial Kings wouldn’t be difficult, perhaps even against Martial Emperors.
Boosted to Sky Martial, Jiang Xuan decided to focus on refining martial skills rather than pressing further to increase power.
He spent more time on the martial skills provided by the System.
Far away, the news spread across various dynasties:
“Did you hear? That mysterious son of the Nangong family is getting married!”
“Yeah, many wealthy families in Divine and Holy States plan to send gifts.”
“Remember, the patriarch of the Nangong family was a strong warrior alongside Divine Martial Empress.
They’re still powerful even in this fallen state.
The Nangong son’s marriage has everyone’s interest.”
…….
In the forbidden place, Demonic Realm.
Xia Xiao Yu opened her eyes, the golden-red irises exuding immense pressure.
A nearby servant delivered news,
“Sacred Maiden, the Nangong family sent an invitation.”
“Marriage? Not going; I don’t know anyone named Nangong.”
“The marriage partner is called Jiang Xuan… People are gossiping about him.”
“You mean the Nangong heir’s fiancé is Jiang Xuan?”
“Yes…”
Seeing confirmation, Xia Xiao Yu’s anger turned into a mocking smile,
“So, it’s her… She’s asking for trouble!”
…..
In Cold Ice City, in the palace’s secret passages,
“Lady Empress, you really tried to run…”
Just then, a female guard rushed to her,
“Empress, you passed the first ancestor’s test.
And Nangong family from Divine Martial Dynasty also sent a wedding invitation.”
“Why is that from the Divine Martial Dynasty? We can’t afford it. Pass it here.”
Cold expression turned wild when she saw the name,
“Indeed, my Emperor must attend.
The mysterious man who took our Emperor must be that Nangong heir, and we must settle scores!”
…..
In the demonic realm’s main camp,
Princess Ming Yue angrily looked at the invitation.
“Dare he hide from me? No way! And the marriage is not accepted by me.”
Turning to someone next to her, she said,
“Xian Qiu, go wake up my great-grandmother. Tell her I’m rescuing her.”
…..
In Green Crane Sect,
Qing Qi clenched her teeth:
“Master, I should attend my little junior sister’s marriage.”
Nearby, a charming woman responded calmly,
“Rebel disciple, you might fight Liu Yun. Stay here while I, your senior sister, will go.”
…..
Meanwhile in Jiang Xuan’s room, a visitor arrived.
