Yun Yang turned his head abruptly, looking at Ji Lingxi in disbelief.
Ji Lingxi lowered her head with reddened eyes and said in a low voice, "I … I can't … I didn't agree to it at first, but Sister Lan told me that if I didn't agree to it, only death awaits her. My brother is gone, and if I don't agree to it, she won't be able to marry into the Ji Family anymore. I …"
Yue Rulan's neck was tied with a red silk handkerchief. With Yun Yang's eyesight, how could he not see the faint traces of blood seeping out from there? She had forced Ji Lingxi to submit by threatening her own life and death. That was how this wedding banquet was held.
Ji Lingxi lowered her head and sighed softly.
Yue Rulan looked over and said with a smile, "Lingxi, today is your brother and your sister-in-law's big day. Why aren't you helping to entertain the guests? After today, we're a real family!"
Ji Lingxi sucked in a breath and said, "I'll go right away." She turned and walked into the inner chamber after she said that.
Yun Yang closed his eyes and heaved a long sigh. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and beamed. "Congratulations, congratulations. Sister-in-law has married into my eighth brother's family today. It's truly a match made in heaven. I'm really happy for my brother. I hope that both of you will be united forever and never change your mind."
Yue Rulan smiled with her eyes squinted and said, "Thank you, brother. Since you've called me sister-in-law, you must drink more today. You're not alone, do you understand?"
Yun Yang nodded and enunciated each word clearly, "Of course, of course. I've come on behalf of all my brothers today. We must drink until we're drunk!"
Yue Rulan's eyes gleamed as she said joyfully, "Then today will be the happiest day of my life. This life is enough."
"Congratulations," said Yun Yang.
Just as he was about to say a few more words of praise and prayers, he suddenly felt his throat choking. It was difficult for him to say anything good.
The curtain was lifted and Ji Lingxi walked out from the inner chamber.
Yun Yang looked over and saw that Ji Lingxi had changed into a man's attire. She was dressed in a bridegroom's attire, tall and handsome.
What a handsome bridegroom!
Yun Yang completely understood what Yue Rulan meant when she told Ji Lingxi about being a helper. He had come alone as a representative of the Nine Supremes brothers, but Ji Lingxi, this little girl, was not only responsible for welcoming the guests and attending to them, she was also responsible for the bridegroom and his family.
Embarrassment colored Yue Rulan's pretty face as she said anxiously, "Brother Yun, what happened today was a sudden idea of mine. It's also to fulfill both of our wishes. The witness, the officiator, and the guests … will all be Brother Yun …"
Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath and laughed. "What are you talking about, sister-in-law? It would be wrong if sister-in-law didn't look for your brothers. Besides, I, Yun Yang, am not the only one here today. The Nine Supremes brothers are united in life and death, never forsaking each other. We are all here together. If I am here, they will be here too."
Yue Rulan hugged Ji Lingxi and said happily, "Brother Yun, what do you think of us husband and wife? Do we look like husband and wife? "
Yun Yang gulped down his goblet of wine, swallowing the bitterness and unspeakable pain in his stomach along with the wine. He beamed as well and said, "Wonderful, wonderful! We are a perfect match, a match made by heaven and earth, a perfect match!"
The red candles burned brightly.
Yun Yang's voice seemed to be choked in his heart, forcing it out.
"Bride and groom, first bow to heaven and earth!"
"Second bow to your parents!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"The ceremony is complete!"
The bride and groom had already gone to the bridal chamber to complete the last procedure.
Yun Yang faced the table full of dishes and wine alone, feeling his throat clogged up. His food tasted tasteless, like wax.
Not to mention that Yun Yang's bulimia was long gone, even if it was still there, he would not be able to swallow his food now. In his frustration, he could not help but lift the wine pot and gulp it down.
Only when he had swallowed the entire pot of wine did he heave a long sigh.
"A dream of a hero, a lifetime of a beauty … Eighth brother … if your spirit is in heaven … how can you bear to let such a beauty … waste away like this …"
"Eighth brother!"
"A dream of a hero, a lifetime of a beauty … sigh …"
Yue Rulan and Ji Lingxi walked out side by side again. Both of them who had crossed cups of wine looked calm, but there were tears hidden in their smiles. Each of them knew the bitterness in their hearts.
Yue Rulan was still beaming and beaming, like a bride who had fulfilled her wish and married her husband. Ji Lingxi, on the other hand, looked solemn, her eyes brimming with tears as she held back her grief, trying her best to maintain a cheerful expression.
"Brother, today is a joyous day. Sister-in-law and your eighth brother are here to give you a toast. You can't be a coward!"
Yue Rulan picked up the wine pot and the goblet, filling it to the brim. Her slender hand passed it to Yun Yang and said with a smile, "The bride is here to give you a toast."
Yun Yang accepted it blankly and forced a smile. "Great wine! I must drink this wine! Even if I have to crawl under the table after drinking, I must drink it. This goblet is to wish eighth brother and sister-in-law a happy and happy life. "
He raised his goblet and emptied it!
The second goblet came. Yun Yang sucked in a deep breath and said, "The second goblet is to wish eighth brother and sister-in-law … to be husband and wife forever!"
"The third goblet is to wish eighth brother and sister-in-law … to be true forever, to coexist with the heavens!"
"The fourth goblet … I'll drink on behalf of the brothers!"
"Brother, don't just drink. Sit down, eat, eat. I'm afraid you'll really get drunk if you just drink without eating. You're here on behalf of all your brothers. Even if you're going to get drunk, you can't get drunk so early, sister-in-law won't agree to that."
This meal was the most uncomfortable meal Yun Yang had ever had in his life, but he still had to force a smile, toasting and toasting, trying his best to welcome the guests.
"This goblet is to the brothers."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"Again!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Eight goblets of wine went down Yun Yang's throat in agony.
"Eldest brother, second brother, third sister; fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, seventh brother … eighth brother's wedding wine, I'll drink it all on your behalf …"
Yun Yang's head was swelling as he drank, his eyes glazed over.
Not only was this wedding banquet the most uncomfortable meal, it was also the only time Yun Yang had drunk himself to death since the battle at Tianxuan Cliff!
Yun Yang's field of vision was cloudy and hazy. In spite of this, it was as if his brothers had really reunited here. Each of them was holding a goblet in their hands, laughing and chatting merrily.
"Today, with my brothers as witnesses, I, Yue Rulan, have finally become husband and wife with Ji Lingfeng. From now on, I, Yue Rulan, am a member of the Ji Family, the wife of the Ji Family!"
"From today onwards, I won't look for you anymore, I won't miss you anymore … Because you're already my husband, you're in my heart. You can't run away, you can't run away anymore!"
"You'll be the hero of the world, you'll be the hero of the world! I only need to wait quietly! That's good enough. "
"Ji Lingfeng, don't you ever think of leaving me behind in this lifetime, for all eternity!"
Yun Yang had drunk enough, he had drunk too much.
Yun Yang could only hear Yue Rulan's words vaguely, "Brother, it's impossible for sister-in-law to carry on the Ji Family's bloodline in this lifetime … This is also sister-in-law's lifelong regret … But there's one more thing … before your eighth brother passed away, he couldn't forget his younger sister … Lingxi's child is also a descendant of the Ji Family … right?"
"We can't take care of his younger sister anymore … You, you must take good care of your eighth brother's younger sister …"
"From today onwards, your eighth brother and I will entrust Lingxi to you …"
"If you're not fated … it's fine … but if you're fated … when you have children in the future, please … have a surname of Ji. To inherit your eighth brother's bloodline … "
Yun Yang did not control his alcohol tolerance at all, nor did he use any mystical skill to force the alcohol out of his system. He was thoroughly inebriated!
Three cups of wine to open one's path, a drunken night to resolve a thousand worries!
Such a wedding, such infatuation, such women, and such an atmosphere!
Yun Yang was eager to get drunk as soon as possible!
The roads of drunkenness are always stable, but other places are unbearable!
"I'm alone in this secular world …" Yun Yang heaved a long sigh and suddenly burst out laughing. "All of you can go and enjoy yourselves … Watch me beat them up all by myself! Hahaha … "
With a plop, he fell headfirst onto the dining table, unaware of what had happened.
Looking at the drunk Yun Yang, Yue Rulan sighed softly and said, "Lingxi, come, let us sister-in-law and sister-in-law have a drink as well! How can we not drink on such a joyous occasion? I drank on your brother's behalf just now, it doesn't count! "
Ji Lingxi had never been good at drinking, and her mood was exceptionally heavy today. She was already tipsy. Now that Yue Rulan had forced a few more goblets of wine into her mouth, she swayed and collapsed just like Yun Yang, following in his footsteps.
Yue Rulan sighed softly as she watched Ji Lingxi collapse.
She murmured softly, "Lingxi … if you continue to be reserved … Yun Yang, this unromantic man, won't take the initiative in the end, especially when he's carrying too many burdens … Perhaps he won't even have the time, or perhaps he'll place his thoughts on romantic relationships. In the end … he'll end up like me …"
"How can there be no consummation of the wedding today?"
"I hope you won't blame sister-in-law in the future …"
"If there's a bad reputation … let sister-in-law bear it. This is also the last time I can help you. "
…
Yun Yang fell into a deep slumber, feeling as if his brothers were already by his side, drinking to their heart's content and chatting loudly.
He could not help smiling as he sighed comfortably. "I really miss all of you …"
His hand moved slightly, as if he had touched something. He flipped over, opened his eyes, and took a closer look. To his astonishment, there was a person lying right beside him …
The person beside him was Ji Lingxi, her eyes shut tight and her breathing steady, still in a deep sleep.
What was going on?
What happened to him?
Hmm?
Why was Ji Lingxi sleeping on his bed?
What was going on?
Yun Yang shook his head, feeling dizzy. Without hesitation, he pushed Ji Lingxi and asked, "You …"
Just as he uttered the word, he was shocked to see a flash of red light on Ji Lingxi, who had been in a deep sleep.
At the same time, a terrifying aura erupted, as if heaven and earth had suddenly collapsed in front of Yun Yang.
A massive, unstoppable force rushed out from the unconscious Ji Lingxi.
With a loud boom …
Yun Yang, who was the only one bearing the brunt of the attack, was caught off guard and was struck at once.
Bang …
The window shattered at once as Yun Yang was flung away like a kite with a broken string. He opened his eyes forcefully in midair, only to see the shattered window getting further and further away from him, followed by a wave of excruciating pain.
Yun Yang was inexplicably shocked, not knowing what was going on. Why were there so many unexpected situations throughout the day and night? They were getting stranger and stranger, more and more inconceivable!
Bang, bang, bang …
After breaking two more trees, Yun Yang landed on the wall outside with a loud thud. He spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling pain all over his body. Who knew how many of his bones had been broken from the collision?
Yun Yang forced himself to lift his head, feeling bewildered. "What … what is going on?"
"Who hit me? Who is it? … "
Yue Rulan, who was sitting alone under the flowering tree facing the moon, could not help being shocked when she saw the situation. She jumped up with a cry and watched the scene unfold in a panic.
She had already predicted many possible scenarios. Whether Yun Yang came out looking dumbfounded, embarrassed, or even furious that he had been plotted against, it would not have been surprising. However, coming out looking like he had been beaten up so violently was a huge surprise. It was equally inconceivable!
At the next moment, Yue Rulan realized the scariest possibility and barged into the room.
Ji Lingxi was still asleep on the bed in the room, her clothes still neat and tidy. It was obvious that she had not woken up yet. There was no third party in the room, no intruder …
However, what was going on right before her eyes?
Yue Rulan was stunned.
Ji Lingxi was still asleep and there was no third party apart from the both of them. Who could have sent Yun Yang flying?
Looking at the door, she saw Yun Yang trying to get up with great difficulty but he was not strong enough. He was still spitting out blood and his eyes were filled with confusion.
Yue Rulan's mouth was agape.
Yun Yang finally managed to stand up shakily and asked weakly, "Sister Yue, what … what is going on?"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
Bai Yixue, Yun Xiaoyao, Lao Mei, Fang Mofei and the rest had already flown over, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Yun Yang's current cultivation base was the highest among them, other than Bai Yixue. How could he be so heavily injured?
If there was an enemy ambush, how terrifying would the enemy be?
However, when he took a closer look, his eyes were filled with calmness, without a single ripple.
There was no trace of the enemy.
