Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1196 - 1160: Zuo Yan Arrives with an Army

Ye Qi’s heart was indescribably heavy, fearing that once today’s wedding was completed, there would truly be an insurmountable chasm between him and Wen Xiao’ai.

Even if they lived under the same roof every day, they would likely treat each other with distant respect, losing the ease and openness they once had.

This was really not what he wanted.

Amidst the sounds of congratulations, the maiden of honor supported Wen Xiao’ai as she walked in and placed her hand in Ye Qi’s.

Ye Qi lowered his eyes to look, but for a moment he did not move.

Nearby, Feng Liyan sighed softly, irritably pouring himself a glass of wine.

Seeing Ye Qi’s hesitation and his odd expression, everyone became puzzled.

Everyone knew that Ye Qi liked the Little Princess, having protected her with great care for hundreds of years, and had finally gotten his wish, yet he didn’t seem happy at all.

Everyone simultaneously looked at Elder Ye and Madam Ye at the head seat, noticing their expressions were somewhat subtle.

Although they wore smiles, they didn’t show the expected joy of gaining a daughter-in-law.

What on earth is going on?

Meanwhile, the Clan Leader sitting on the platform already had an unpleasant expression.

"Groom, quickly take the bride’s hand, it’s time for the ceremony," the maiden of honor reminded with a smile, believing Ye Qi was so overjoyed he was nervous.

Even his pale face was assumed to be due to discomfort.

Ye Qi nodded slightly to the maiden of honor, wanting to force a smile, but finding himself unable to.

He raised his hand to take Wen Xiao’ai from the maiden of honor.

Seeing Wen Xiao’ai remain unresponsive, Ye Qi felt even worse.

If she resisted or protested a bit, perhaps he would feel better.

Her demeanor truly frightened him.

"The auspicious time has come, begin the ceremony,"

The maiden of honor called out, causing the somewhat delicate atmosphere in the hall to liven up again.

At that moment, a guard ran in with a flustered expression, bent down beside General Wu, and whispered something.

General Wu’s expression instantly turned grave: "Are you certain?"

"Absolutely," the guard nodded.

General Wu maintained his composure, secretly sending a message to the Clan Leader:

"Clan Leader, the guard just reported that our people have discovered Zuo Yan’s tracks in Phoenix Valley. He’s heading this way with troops, undoubtedly with ill intentions."

The Clan Leader’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, instinctively looking at General Wu below.

General Wu gave her a slight nod.

The Clan Leader’s barely relaxed expression tightened once more.

The Cat Demon Clan held a celebration without inviting any outsiders, so naturally, the news hadn’t spread. Unexpectedly, Zuo Yan still found out.

Could it be that the Demon Clan had been watching them all along?

What does Zuo Yan intend to do?

Just to cause trouble, or...?

Without hesitating for another second, the Clan Leader quickly made a decision,

sending a message to General Wu:

"Do not alert others to avoid causing panic. General Wu, please lead your troops to investigate immediately. I will arrive shortly with the Elders. No matter Zuo Yan’s purpose this time, he has slaughtered our clansmen and destroyed our homeland, this enmity is irreconcilable. This time, we must make him pay with blood, with no return."

"Yes."

"Zuo Yan is cunning and deceitful, take more people with you, this time he must be forever left in Phoenix Valley, never to rise again."

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, General Wu rose and quietly left the hall...

Meanwhile, Elder Liu and Elder Tan, who were drinking and celebrating with others, suddenly received a message from the Clan Leader—

"The demon Zuo Yan is attacking, Elder Liu, Elder Tan, quickly go and strengthen the clan’s barrier."
