Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 909 - 27: The Marriage

"Oh, you mean you’ve met Master Yue Nian’s son?" After killing the Second Prince of Dark Demon, Yue Potian found the Holy Dragon Rider, Yue Xi, and listened to her recount the encounter with Yue Minzhi. "In your opinion, what kind of person is he?"

"He is a rare talent not seen in a hundred years, even in the Moon Plane; he is a rare genius. Unfortunately, he was born on the Canglong Continent..." Yue Xi’s words were full of praise.

When she checked the bodies of the Dark Demon Army, she discovered that the Demon Army had already been poisoned.

Although using poison isn’t an honorable tactic, in a situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is nonetheless a viable method.

Changsun Gongyang of the Chenwu Clan is by nature a cowardly person, timid and spineless. He couldn’t think of such a strategy. It seems that the credit for this battle lies almost entirely with Yue Minzhi.

"For someone deserving of such praise from you, it seems that Yue Minzhi is indeed impressive. Are you suggesting that I should let him recognize his ancestry?" Yue Potian noticed the rare hint of shyness on Yue Xi’s face when she mentioned Yue Minzhi.

"The Clan Leader will make his own judgment. Yue Xi wouldn’t dare advise rashly. But now that the Demon Clan is rampant and the Dark Practitioners of the Human Race are restless, not respecting the Holy Beast Clan’s governance, I think absorbing the Holy Beast Bloodline that flows within the Human Race would be beneficial for the future prosperity of the Dragon Clan," Yue Xi knew that Yue Potian held Master Yue Nian in high regard. With Yue Minzhi being such a talent, the Clan Leader would not easily let him wander outside.

"Calculating his age, Master Yue Nian’s son should be twenty by now. After he undergoes ’Dragon Blood Boiling,’ I will assess his bloodline. If it is not inferior to the Silver Giant Dragon bloodline, I will bring him back to the Moon Plane. Accompany me to the Four Symbols City; I want to meet him personally." Yue Potian also intended to visit the Four Symbols City and meet with Changsun Gongyang, as well as check on the Heavenly Witch Pill and matters of the Witch Sect back then.

When Yue Potian and Yue Xi arrived at the Four Symbols City, Changsun Gongyang received them, but Yue Minzhi and the others from the Dragon War Empire had already left.

"The Clan Leader’s presence truly brings glory to the Four Symbols City. Yue Minzhi and the others have rushed back to the Dragon War Empire. It is said they are attending the new Emperor’s accession ceremony." Changsun Gongyang looked as obsequious as ever, unchanged from the past.

After a few questions, Yue Potian gained no useful information and decided to go to the Dragon War Empire to meet Yue Minzhi.

Yue Potian didn’t realize that the Changsun Gongyang standing before him was merely a shell; its true soul had been refined into a puppet by Yue Jinghua using the Chaos Green Lotus Fire through the Divine Refining Technique.

The Yue siblings indeed received news from the Dragon War Empire, that Long Teng the 72nd had passed the throne to Princess Long Xue, and she would officially ascend as Long Teng the 73rd in five days.

Zhan Tian’s death was a huge blow to Princess Yue Longxue, also making her face her identity for the first time.

From then on, the Dragon War Empire entered a period under the rule of Princess Long Xue. Long Teng the 73rd was also the first Female Emperor in the history of the Dragon War Empire. Under her reign, the empire reached an unprecedentedly strong and unified century.

Long Teng the 73rd remained unmarried for life, and correspondingly, Prince Yu Ji of the Ruison Federation also remained unwed for life.

Later generations claimed that the Female Emperor and the Prince could not unite due to the powers of their countries, but the truth was known only to those who accompanied the Female Emperor through that brutal battle.

After the Yue siblings returned to the Imperial City, they were greeted by a grand Female Emperor’s accession ceremony and Long Teng the 73rd’s gratitude and rewards.

The Blood Cherry Duke Mansion, thanks to this Four Symbols City journey, became the most favored family in the empire.

The Empress’s rewards flowed continuously into the Duke Mansion, and at the same time, Long Teng the 73rd personally decreed the marriage between Yue Minzhi and Long Rui.

Inside the Duke Mansion, Lie Rou had already received news days ago of the siblings’ return. She ordered the mansion to be decorated and waited expectantly each day.

When she finally heard the news that the siblings had arrived outside the mansion, she hurriedly got up to greet them.

Outside the mansion gates, Yue Jinghua’s Titan slowly descended, drawing excited murmurs from the observing residents of the Imperial City.

The first to step down from the empty ship was Yue Jinghua. Seeing her beautiful mother after more than half a year, she smiled brightly.

Lie Rou couldn’t help wiping her eyes, about to take a closer look at her daughter, but Yue Jinghua pulled her aside: "Mom, look who came back with me."

Yue Jinghua and Yue Minzhi, to give Lie Rou a surprise, hadn’t told her about Lie Changgong before. Stepping aside from the empty ship, Yue Minzhi revealed Lie Changgong standing before Lie Rou.

Seeing Lie Changgong, Lie Rou was momentarily stunned. Then, her body began to tremble uncontrollably, as a wave of bitterness surged from her throat, as if a thousand ants were crawling inside.

"Dad, Daddy," Lie Rou rushed forward, embracing Lie Changgong, sobbing uncontrollably.

The servants of the Duke Mansion and the members of the July Mercenary Team also couldn’t hold back their tears.

Witnessing this father-daughter reunion, Yue Jinghua felt truly comforted, advising her mother and grandfather to enter the mansion first for a happy family reunion meal.

Lie Changgong talked with Lie Rou through the night, and by the next day, both had swollen eyes.

After the reunion, the rewards from Long Teng the 73rd and the decree of the imperial marriage also arrived at the Duke Mansion.

The marriage of Yue Minzhi, which Lie Rou worried most about, finally had a happy ending.

Within two days at the Duke Mansion, with double blessings, Lie Rou seemed to have returned to her youthful days, full of smiles, leaving behind all the hardships and sorrows of past years.

Yue Jinghua also heaved a sigh of relief; she hadn’t forgotten that Yue Minzhi was about to turn eighteen. The sooner he married, the sooner he could avoid the Dragon Clan’s ’Dragon Blood Boiling’ ceremony.

Meeting Yue Potian on the Dimension Battlefield made Yue Jinghua realize the strength of the Holy Beast Clan. She feared that if her brother’s bloodline awakened, the Moon Plane wouldn’t allow him to remain on the Canglong Continent. So she eagerly helped choose an auspicious day, finally selecting ten days later, five days before Yue Minzhi’s eighteenth birthday, to hold his wedding with Long Rui.

Ten days, though short, was somewhat tight for preparing a grand wedding. Hence, the entire Duke Mansion was immersed in bustling preparations, unaware that an unforeseen bloody disaster was quietly approaching.
