Chapter 23: He Is Going to Love His Wife for a Lifetime

Before Li Yunchu could react, she was ushered toward the fitting room by the sales clerk.

"You look absolutely stunning in this qipao. Many have tried it on, but you are the first person I've seen who looks so breathtaking in it!"

"Your husband is so good to you. A man's credit card is meant to be used, after all."

As the clerk pushed her along, Li Yunchu heard her whisper, "You're still young, dear, and you must have just gotten married. If you don't spend his money, who knows? He might end up spending it on someone else."

The son-in-law might not be aware, but after you and the Demon Emperor joined forces with the Great Emperor Guangwu to deal a heavy blow to the one in the Imperial Palace, it was the Three Sects and Six Schools that took the initiative to broadcast the news.

A sacred fire red lotus, several yards in diameter, emerged behind Yuyao. As the layers of petals bloomed, a Vermillion Bird, bathed in the sacred lotus fire, soared into the sky, its every feather shimmering like a flaming divine sword.

"Oh! Yi Jianfeng, what is wrong with you? Why is your complexion so poor?" Chu Yanran, whose beautiful face—resembling fine mutton-fat jade—was slightly smudged with dust and framed by tangled, raven-black hair, spoke with concern as she noticed the deathly pallor of his cheeks.

"Heh... are you mistaken? There is no sign here stating this is your territory. Besides, isn't it 'might makes right' in the world of beasts? Whoever has the bigger fist makes the rules. I have taken a fancy to this mountain range, so it has naturally become my territory!" Yi Jianfeng chuckled in response.

Chu Huixiang appeared excited, yet clearly nervous. She had dressed up for the occasion, and though she was over thirty, she looked incredibly alluring.

The barriers between the Nine Provinces were once easy to traverse, as they had long been breached, but later, the barriers between the Upper, Middle, and Lower Provinces were sealed once more. As for the barrier between the Vast Sea and the Nine Provinces, it had been closed by the Immortal Race during the rise of the Human Era.

As for whether this young man was truly from the military, how could Cheng Ying and Yuan Fang not know?

Within Jiashi Media, a meeting was held, and only after investigation did they discover it was a newly signed music producer who had been attacking a college student named Ye Cuo online.

The tower-like, brawny man gazed at the Kunlun Fairyland with eyes like lanterns, occasionally sighing in admiration. This was indeed a place of rare, spiritual splendor in the Tianjun Great World. Perhaps a few other locations were not inferior, but none could possibly possess such profound and miraculous fortune.

Li Xiaoyao clearly did not understand what the clone meant, but his fighting spirit was ignited; he clenched his fists in secret, steeling his resolve.

The ancestral home was massive, boasting several gardens. Even though it was winter, the gardens still held many evergreen trees, and the scenery was quite beautiful.

However, the gentle warmth that once resided between Xuanyuan Yunjue’s brows had gradually faded, replaced by the crushing pressure and steely resolve of a ruler.

Rong Qianlian had noticed the oddity in Rong Qianhan’s behavior before Jun Li. Knowing that Rong Qianhan was not truly unwell but having no intention of wading into these muddy waters, she offered a few words of concern and led her maid away.

Li Da loved to drink, a fact Hua Li had remembered, which was why she had bought plenty of fine wine upon her return.

Jun Li couldn't help but chuckle. She had thought Mother Xiang and the others were only capable of physical altercations, but she now realized their tongues were just as sharp.

Come to think of it, she was surprisingly willing to "strike" this evildoer... though the "strikes" were never heavy.

As a result, Ling Yun’s battle line stretched further and further. People were killing monsters everywhere, only to rush off to catch up after finishing. However, because their movement speed was slow, they were so delayed that they could no longer even catch a glimpse of Ye Fei. Had it not been for Gui Jianchou urging them on desperately from the front, they would have truly wanted to stop and give up the chase.

Two days later, Li Dian’s army of thirty thousand arrived tardily, setting up camp thirty miles outside Chenliu City, staring across the distance at the city. Liu Bei, having long since received the intelligence, led his own thirty thousand troops to form a line before the front, facing Li Dian’s formation. Guan Yu guarded the vanguard, while Zhang Fei held the rear.
