Murong Qian's expression grew increasingly vicious at the thought of this and her eyes filled with layers of murderous intent...

A man was standing with his back against the window in a magnificent bedchamber. The faint moonlight shone upon him, lighting up features which look exactly like Qianbei Ye's.

"Has Qianbei Ye returned?"

He laughed icily. His smile was as arrogant as ever. "Furthermore, he intends to marry Gu Ruoyun? Hehe, I reckon that it'll be a lively wedding. Perhaps I should go and join the fun!"

This matter would end one day!

Only one of them could continue to live on in this world. The second one was not permitted to exist.

It was this very reason that caused their last stand as irreconcilable adversaries!

...

The Demon Emperor's grand wedding was a universal celebration.

With Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye's prestige, both humans and spiritual beasts had journeyed from far and wide to participate in their union...

At this moment, the Cloudy Wind Empire was bubbling with incomparable excitement!

The Cloudy Wind Empire's citizens saw countless birds soaring through the air and many cultivators who were at the Martial Saint rank and above arriving in the Cloudy Wind Empire!

Of course, this was not all that shocking.

The thing that shocked them the most had come later on.

On the night before Gu Ruoyun and Qianbei Ye's marriage ceremony, many powerful dragons had shot through the sky from a distance before hovering in the air.

They were not hallucinating!

Aside from the powerful cultivators who had arrived to join their wedding ceremony, even the incomparably proud Dragon Clan had arrived!

The Dragon Clan's extraordinary arrival plunged the Cloudy Wind Empire into unprecedented chaos...

The day of the wedding.

Countless spiritual beasts were circling the sky above the Cloudy Wind Empire! However, those spiritual beasts only stayed quietly in the sky as if they were waiting to escort the newlyweds.

Zuo Shangchen was holding Xiao Xun'er in his arms. His eyes were staring curiously at Gu Ruoyun as Qianbei Ye led her into the main hall. He then secretly whispered into the man's ear.

"Godfather, I had secretly slipped into Mother's room to see her. Mother looks absolutely beautiful today. In the future, Xun'er wants to find a wife who's as beautiful as Mother."

Zuo Shangchen patted Xiao Xun'er's head and remarked, "You, little one, are you only going to judge a person based on looks in the future? That's not right."

Xiao Xun'er pouted. "Godfather, if Uncle wasn't so good looking, would you still like him?"

Zuo Shangchen's expression froze.

How should I respond to this question?

Am I supposed to tell Xiao Xun'er that no matter what Gu Shengxiao looks like, I would still like him?

Doesn't this mean that I'm confessing my feelings?

"Xiao Xun'er, you little imp." Zuo Shangchen smiled bitterly in exasperation. "Do you even know the meaning of 'like'? Your uncle and I..."

Xiao Xun'er did not wait for Zuo Shangchen to finish talking and interrupted him.

The little toddler blinked and snickered at Zuo Shangchen. "Godfather, when are you going to marry my uncle and become my aunt?"

Cough, cough!

Zuo Shangchen nearly choked on his own saliva. He shook his head in exasperation as he looked carefully at Gu Shengxiao who was seated next to him with his peach blossom eyes.

When he saw the detached look on Gu Shengxiao's face, his peach blossom features lifted into a bitter smile.

"Xiao Xun'er, your uncle and I have a life and death pact so our relationship is different from your mother and father's relationship. You must understand that in this world, a relationship between men is not accepted. Only men and women can join together. Otherwise, they can't have children."
