Chapter 5

Inside the bridal chamber, Zhao Qingmei was dressed in a red wedding outfit with a covering veil over her head.

Squeak!

Tan Yun pushed open the door and walked in.

Zhao Qingmei asked, “Tan Yun, have you investigated everything?”

“I’ve investigated. Most of the people who came are neighbors who are on good terms with the young master,” Tan Yun replied.

“Got it.” Zhao Qingmei had a covering veil on her head, so her expression could not be seen clearly. However, her tone was extremely calm.

“Missy, I also found out that one of Cao Gang’s Altar Masters wanted the title deed in Young Master’s hands. A few days ago, he even threatened the Young Master.” Tan Yun said in a deep voice, “Today, when the Young Master came to get married, he was delayed for an hour. It was all because of the Cao Gang. Fortunately, a constable came out to settle it.”

How dare they cause trouble on the Sect Master’s joyous day!?

Today was a special day, a day of great joy that only happened once in a lifetime. The Wang Family actually came to make trouble, the meaning of this was self-evident. If it wasn’t for the constable…

Also, what did he mean by selling the title deed? He was just trying to gain something without risking anything of his own!

“Today is a joyous occasion,” Zhao Qingmei said calmly. “Besides, tomorrow is a sunny day.”

Zhao Qingmei loved sunny days because they were ideal for one to kill and for blood to dry.

“I got it.” Tan Yun quickly nodded.

Zhao Qingmei seemed to have thought of something and said, “From now on, I hope you know your limits.”

“Yes.” Tan Yun understood.

Zhao Qingmei cultivated the Heavenly Demon Technique and even top-notch experts were unable to detect her aura. Tan Yun was an expert from one of the Demon Sect’s three sects, Mortal Sect. She was best at concealment and tracking. If she concealed her aura, it would be difficult for others to see through her.

…

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. Most of the guests gradually dispersed.

“I’m coming in.”

An Jing arrived at the entrance of the bridal chamber.

Creak!

As the door slowly opened, An Jing walked in.

Zhao Qingmei placed her hands in front of her legs and clenched them tightly. One could hear her panting.

“I’m going to unveil you.”

An Jing smiled and picked up the balance scale.

As the veil fell, Zhao Qingmei’s beautiful face appeared even more alluring under the candlelight, especially her red lips, which seemed as if they were going to melt her completely.

At this moment, a blush appeared on her fair and jade-like face, and her pair of limpid eyes were looking at An Jing affectionately.

“Qingmei.”

An Jing held Zhao Qingmei’s hand and felt a warm sensation.

An Jing did not expect that he could marry such a beauty.

Zhao Qingmei’s heart pounded rapidly, and she felt like a deer that had lost all her strength. She collapsed into An Jing’s arms.

“Qingmei, you might have to suffer with me in the future…”

“Darling, it’s like that cup of tea. We might suffer for a while, but definitely not for a lifetime.”

Zhao Qingmei looked at An Jing.

“Yes, we won’t suffer for the rest of our lives.” An Jing looked at the person in front of him and swore in his heart that he would treat such an understanding wife well.

“Ma’am.”

“Yeah?”

“It’s time to consummate…”

Following that, the candle flame was extinguished.

…

The next day, An Jing slowly opened his eyes. A faint ray of sunlight shone through the window.

The red cloth curtain was still filled with warmth.

“Darling, you’re awake.”

Just then, the door opened.

Zhao Qingmei had removed her red wedding dress and was dressed in green, which gave her a different vibe. At this moment, she had a dress around her waist and some sweat on her forehead.

“I made some medicinal porridge according to the records on your table. Try it.”

An Jing was both amused and touched when he heard that. “This porridge is used to nourish my body. My body is very healthy and I don’t need it at all.”

With that, An Jing got off the bed and looked at the fragrant medicinal porridge on the table, exclaiming in his heart.

With such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?

After An Jing drank the medicinal porridge, he felt that the heat in his body did not dissipate for a long time. He was secretly shocked. Could it be that the Man Flower in his body had already condensed?

In order to advance from Rank One to Grandmaster, one had to condense three flowers, namely Man Flower, Earth Flower, and Heavenly Flower.

An Jing’s cultivation had stagnated for more than half a year, but he had yet to condense the Man Flower. It seemed that this shackle was easily broken.

Now, as long as he condensed the Earth Flower and Heaven Flower, he would be able to gather the three flowers into one and reach the Grandmaster level.

He did not expect that he would be able to condense one of the Three Flowers in one night.

“How does it taste?” Zhao Qingmei asked nervously.

“Of course it’s good.”

An Jing smiled. “Darling, I like everything you make.”

“That’s great. If you like it, I’ll cook it for you every day.” Zhao Qingmei heaved a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with joy.

“Darling, take a look at the pharmacy first. There are still a few herbs missing a few days ago. I’ll go and ask now.”

“Okay, go ahead.”

When Tan Yun saw An Jing leave, she could not help but ask, “Miss, why don’t you hire a few servants? Who can stand waking up every morning to cook porridge?”

Her Sect Master’s hands were usually stained with blood. When did she use them to make porridge for others?

“Just do your part.”

Zhao Qingmei seemed to have thought of something as a smile formed on her face. “Come with me to the streets later to buy some meat and vegetables. I’ll have to prepare lunch and dinner.”

“Yes.”

Tan Yun sighed helplessly.

…

In the Red Mansion of Yuzhou City…

“Master Wang, come, have another drink.”

“Lord Wang, tell me the story of the Jade Forest Peak again. Did a Rank Three expert really appear that day?”

“Could it be that those demons have really been imprisoned in Yuzhou City’s prison?”

In an elegant private room, Wang Zhiping’s face was flushed red and he was surrounded by a flock of women.

“Let me tell you, I am now a Rank Seven cultivator. With my aptitude and my uncle’s nurturing, I will have a chance to enter the Rank Five or even Rank Four in the future.” Wang Zhiping laughed proudly.

“Rank Four!?”

Shocked cries rang out in the surroundings.

In the martial world, a Rank Four was already considered an expert. In the Cao Gang, he could even sit in the position of the deputy Branch Master.

“I’m afraid that’s impossible.”

At that moment, a sharp and cold voice was heard.

“Who’s that!?”

When Wang Zhiping heard the voice, he immediately sobered up.

“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is who you are.”

Outside the door, a fat and bloated old monk pressed his palms together with a smile on his lips. The old monk’s face was extremely ugly, like a malicious ghost.

Everyone in the martial world knew that there were four types of people in the martial world whom one had to be careful of. These are women, children, monks and Daoists.

“Who are you? There’s no grudge between us!”

Wang Zhiping took a deep breath and moved his palm to the lower part of his body.

“Pfft!”

“Pfft!”

Before Wang Zhiping could finish his sentence, the girls beside him stabbed their sabers into his body.

“You… you guys…”

Wang Zhiping’s eyes widened in shock. He stared at the woman who had just been flirting with him in disbelief. Then, he collapsed to the ground.

“Guardian, he is just an insignificant Rank Seven character. Do you have to come personally?”

A woman wiped the blood off her face and said respectfully to the old monk.

Wang Zhiping did not know the identity of this old monk, but she knew very well. This person was one of the four great guardians of the Demon Sect and Mortal Sect. Back then, he was the abbot of the Lotus Sect’s White Horse Monastery. After that, he betrayed White Horse Monastery and joined the Demon Sect. He had a notorious reputation in the martial world.

Thirty years ago, the Hidden Sword Villa saw a massacre of 327 people. Not even the infants were spared.

Thirteen years ago, he attacked the Wu Lan Tribe at night in the Northern Desert Plains and killed countless Rank Three and Rank Four experts. In the end, he even killed a Rank Two expert, a ferocious-looking Ghost-Faced Buddha.

His battle achievements were countless.

Within the Demon Sect, there were very few incidents as such. If one counted carefully, there were only two or three occurrences in the past few decades. Most of them were people from the martial world who killed each other and framed the Demon Sect.

So, what kind of mistake did the Wang family make to actually have the Ghost-Faced Buddha personally kill a clan?

“According to the rules of the sect, don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.” The Ghost-Faced Buddha calmly spoke. “Members of the Wang Clan, exterminate a clan.”

“I understand.”

The woman felt a chill in her heart and quickly bent down.

There were very few people who offended the Demon Sect and resulted in the extermination of the clan. They must have made an unforgivable mistake.

The old monk looked at the corpse on the ground and slowly walked downstairs.

The entire Red Mansion was still bustling with noise and excitement. No one knew that Wang Zhiping had died inside.

As the Ghost-Faced Buddha walked through the red hall, the surrounding people were still chatting and laughing.

It was as if no one had seen him at all.

This was the Formless Realm of Buddhism!

At this moment, a cold gaze swept over.

“This is…”

The Ghost-Faced Buddha felt a chill rise from his back, rushing from his feet to the top of his head. It was as if he was stepping on the tip of a sword.

It was only when he was facing the Sect Master and the few old bald donkeys from the Buddhist Sect that he would feel this way.

When he followed his gaze, he saw a black figure disappearing from the entrance of the red hall.

An expert!

A peerless expert!

The Ghost-Faced Buddha frowned as his heart trembled.

At the Phaseless Realm, it was simply impossible to see his movements with the naked eye. However, that person was able to easily see him just now. If he was not born with those eyes, then that person was a top-notch expert.

“To think that there would be such an expert in Yuzhou City. Looks like I have to report this to the Sect Master..”
