Chapter 837: Don't Let Them Down
"Hm?"
Within a small sub-dimension, Lin Ru was sitting cross-legged, munching on melon seeds. Suddenly, she arched her eyebrows.
She put her leg on the ground, reached out, and tapped the air.
A ripple appeared where her finger had touched. She frowned at the ripple.
"Why do people always challenge my bottom line?"
She muttered impatiently, then disappeared from the sub-dimension.
When she reappeared, she was in the Moon Palace.
"......"
She squinted her eyes.
Even she couldn't look directly at the blinding light, but she sensed that the light wasn't the one who'd challenged her rules.
But she'd already locked onto its location. It was the Moon Palace.
She frowned and looked around.
"Huh?" Lin Ru couldn't help but be taken aback. "Could it be that my eyes are playing tricks on me? Tiantian shouldn't be like that?"
Just now, when she looked around, she vaguely thought she'd seen Tiantian.
However, when she focused her gaze, Tiantian was nowhere to be seen.
"Never mind, what's the point of worrying so much? I hate trouble," muttered Lin Ru to herself.
Lin Ru muttered to herself. Since she couldn't find the person who challenged her rules, she naturally wouldn't pursue it. Shortly after, her gaze fell onto the white light.
She twitched her mouth.
Snap.
She snapped her fingers.
The space around Xiao Yumei and Chang 'e was instantly cut off. The blinding light was also locked within the space, unable to be released.
"Done."
With that, Lin Ru disappeared once more.
When the radiance of the bright moon in the sky suddenly dimmed, the world also became much darker at this moment.
Fwoosh.
The torches they'd prepared long ago were finally put to use. The light illuminated the surroundings once more.
"The sky really darkened quickly. Fortunately, we prepared torches in advance."
Zhao Zizhao chuckled, while Ye Zichen knitted his brows.
It was too strange.
The moon had been unbelievably bright just a moment ago, but now it had suddenly lost its light. To Ye Zichen, this sort of abrupt change was extremely strange.
When the moon had suddenly dimmed, his heart had skipped a beat.
He thought that the Devil Race had come.
However, from Zhao Zizhao's expression, he could tell that the people from the Demon Realm had yet to come out.
Then this month …
"Emperor Ye." Just as Ye Zichen was deep in thought, Zhao Zizhao interrupted his thoughts. "It's about time. The moon you've been admiring is about to go dark. Do you think we should head into the city?"
"…"
Ye Zichen was speechless.
"General Zhao, this is your wedding with City Lord Lin. You should be the one to decide the time. I'm just a groomsman. You can enter whenever you want. I'll follow you. "
"That's true."
Zhao Zizhao put on a look of realization, then straightened his back and spoke to the guards of honor and musicians behind him.
"Enter the city."
The moment they set off, the musicians began to play.
Five miles to escort the bride.
"General Zhao is here, General Zhao is here, get ready …"
A lookout on the walls of Hundred Flowers City suddenly roared. The soldiers outside the city stood on either side of the city gates in a single line.
The formation was a hundred meters long. They crossed their spears and stood ramrod straight, as if they were on a military parade.
"Congratulations on your wedding, General Zhao and City Lord Lin! Let them through!"
When Zhao Zizhao appeared at the very front, the guards at the very front retracted their spears. After that, each group of spears at the back retracted in a rhythmic manner until the last guard of honor walked in. Only then did they cross their spears.
They stepped into the city.
Horse hooves trampled rose petals. At the same time, flower petals fluttered down from the sky.
Hundred Flowers City lived up to its reputation as the Capital of Flowers. As colorful flower petals drifted down from the sky, Zhao Zizhao and Lin Xihe's wedding seemed even more romantic.
As for the origin of these flower petals ….
So long as you looked up, you'd see the citizens of Hundred Flowers City holding flower baskets in their hands. They stepped through the air and slowly descended.
It was obvious that they'd done this for the wedding.
The citizens of Hundred Flowers City had gone to great lengths as well.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but sigh as he watched. "Not bad.
Was this General Zhao's idea all along? "
"Emperor Ye, you really think too highly of me. I'm just a martial artist. How could I possibly have thought of all this? I suppose the citizens organized this themselves," replied Zhao Zizhao calmly.
"So that's how it is. The citizens of Hundred Flowers City are really putting in a lot of effort for City Lord Lin and General Zhao's wedding."
Ye Zichen looked at the lanterns lining the streets, then at the flower petals falling from the sky.
"General Zhao, you absolutely can't let them down."
Zhao Zizhao, who was sitting on horseback, suddenly froze. After a while, he finally reacted and replied, "That's right.
"Emperor Ye, what did you just say? I didn't quite hear you."
"No way, General Zhao, with your cultivation, how could you not hear me?" Ye Zichen arched his brows. "Did you really not hear me, or did you not want to hear me?"
"Emperor Ye, please don't overthink things. I really didn't hear you. When I thought about how I was about to marry Xihe, I was overjoyed, but I was a bit distracted. "
"Is that so?" Ye Zichen pressed his lips into a smile. "Then let me repeat myself. Just now, I said that you mustn't let down the citizens of this city."
"That's right, but I'm a bit confused. Why do you say that?" asked Zhao Zizhao in confusion.
"Look at the citizens of this city. They're working so hard for General Zhao and City Lord Lin's wedding. Only Hundred Flowers City has citizens like this. General Zhao, you must treat them well, "replied Ye Zichen.
"Of course," said Zhao Zizhao, his expression unchanged. Zhao Zizhao's expression did not change as he smiled. "I am a general of Hundred Flowers City. It is my duty to protect the citizens here. Besides, Xihe is about to become my wife. Whether for public or private reasons, I will live and die with Hundred Flowers City. I will protect them. "
"Hah ….."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This guy really knew how to put on an act.
However, he couldn't voice his disdain.
"If that's the case, that'd naturally be for the best."
"Emperor Ye, there seems to be a hidden meaning behind your words?" asked Zhao Zizhao tentatively.
"General Zhao, you're overthinking things. I'm definitely the type of person who says what's on my mind. I don't like beating around the bush. Since General Zhao said that you will protect the people of this city, then I naturally believe in General Zhao's words and express my gratitude on behalf of the people of this city. "
"It's my duty," replied Zhao Zizhao with a smile.
Zhao Zizhao replied with a smile, then ignored Ye Zichen. He looked straight ahead, then spurred his horse forward slowly.
About ten minutes later, Zhao Zizhao came to a stop.
