I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 443. Interlude
Two minutes ago.

After praying to the gods between the wedding curtains on the other side, Hanazawa Taku came to the Queen of Enchantresses and bowed.

Elena remained seated on the railing, her black stockings and little leather shoes swaying gently in the air, while she casually tossed a translucent glass bead up and down in her hand.

A small peach blossom floats quietly inside the glass bead, surrounded by mysterious golden threads that subtly flow around it.

Her delicate face was expressionless, exuding a cold and world-weary air, but at this moment her gaze was fixed on the Gothic tower opposite with great interest.

Between the wedding tents on the seventh floor, shrouded in pure white gauze,
Her younger sister, dressed in an elegant and pure white wedding gown, was leaning against the man's chest, her face flushed, her heart-shaped eyes rolled upwards, and her tongue lolling out. She was completely unlike her usual arrogant and irritating self.

Elena's beautiful eyes curved into a smile, and she said calmly, "Interesting."

The wedding curtain does indeed isolate all movement from the outside world, but if she wants to see, she can still find a way to see what's going on inside.

She was bored and glanced casually at the wedding curtains, unexpectedly seeing this interesting scene.

The human whose dog head was chopped off by Hanazawa Taku's sword did not die. Instead, he appeared between the wedding curtains, extending his evil claws towards Hanazawa Taku's fiancée, my arrogant and foolish sister! Ah, what an unexpected development.

Elena watched the scene unfolding between the wedding curtains. Her younger sister, under the clutches of the evil human, was gradually losing control, cursing Hanazawa Taku as a good-for-nothing while begging for mercy in a wanton, seductive voice close to the man's ear.

"Peach Blossom, so this is your tribulation?" Elena, dressed in a black and purple Lolita dress, crossed her legs beneath the skirt, lost in thought.

Hanazawa Taku knelt at the bottom of the steps, bowed three times to Elena above, and then looked up in confusion: "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

"It's nothing." Elena glanced at Hanazawa Taku, her world-weary face expressionless. "Get up, Hanazawa Taku, go and fetch your bride."

Without much thought, Hanazawa Taku stood up, placed his right hand on his chest, put his left hand behind his back, gave an elegant bow, and turned back to the golden steps leading to the wedding curtain.

Although the royal city's architecture was dimly lit, the wedding venue was still brightly lit.

At this moment, the entire population of the royal city held their breath, watching his every move.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, gleaming white leather shoes stepped onto the golden steps, and Hua Zetuo went straight to the front of the wedding curtain.

His lips curved into a charming smile, his peach blossom eyes gazing affectionately at the snow-white gauze curtain. His gaze seemed to penetrate the curtain and see Yi Nanxi inside, dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown, smiling back at him with the same affection.

"Hurry up, that good-for-nothing seems to be here!" With her beautiful eyes sparkling like bewitching hearts, Yi Nanxi clung to Xia Feng like an octopus as she looked at the vague black figure outside the gauze curtain.

The silver-white, waterfall-like wedding dress with its lace train trailed to the ground.

The damp ground seemed to reflect light, mirroring Yi Nanxi's long, slender legs that crossed at the waist, her crystal high heels dangling precariously as if they might fall off at any moment.

"Even though Hanazawa Taku can't hear or see, could you please keep your voice down?"

As she heard the man's low command, Yi Nanxi instinctively tightened her grip on the back of his neck, her beautiful phoenix eyes fixed on the human-shaped black shadow on the wedding curtain in front of her. At this moment, her collapsing consciousness regained some clarity.

A strange bittersweet feeling welled up inside me despite my joy.

You piece of trash! Hanazawa Taku! You really are a piece of trash! You didn't even notice me, the princess, sulking in the arms of this disgusting human!

Hanazawa Taku stood outside the wedding curtain with a confident smile on his lips.

It has to be said that he had been waiting for this day for a long time, and he had put a lot of thought into it.

Although there was a slight mishap just now, that overconfident little mouse not only came looking for death, but also died without losing any equipment. It was not only useless, but also penniless. And the Demon Blood of the Calamity he so desperately wanted wasn't even a trace of it.
His efforts were wasted. But it doesn't matter anymore.

Right now, the priority is to marry the Enchantress Princess and complete the second stage of the Calamity Relief.

As for the Blood of the Heart Demon, we can search for it carefully after the wedding. If that little mouse really faked its death through some special means, then we can kill it again.

If he can kill that suicidal guy once, he can kill him a second time.

"Huh? You—you piece of trash, what are you trying to do now!" In a daze, Yi Nanxi was pushed aside and pulled down by Xia Feng.

Yi Nanxi's long, trembling legs, clad in crystal high heels, landed back on solid ground. The man turned her around and pushed her close to the wedding curtain, bringing her within arm's reach of the curtain's shadow.

Her heart leaped into her throat, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed. Fortunately, the man behind her caught her from behind, one hand around her waist and the other gripping her delicate chin. He whispered coldly and wickedly in her ear, "Your Highness, the second step of the ritual to remove the calamity only requires breaking it open, so it's fine if I break it open with my own hands, right?"

The ritual to remove the curse from the Eye of Misfortune has two steps: getting married and then breaking the curse, which completes the second stage of the curse removal.

These two levels of the Calamity Resolve are essentially a stripped-down version of the Holy Resolve, but they offer significant optimization, so they shouldn't be wasted.

"!!!"

This guy! What is he going to do?! Yi Nanxi's heart pounded wildly.

She leaned her back against the man behind her, turning her flushed face away from the humanoid shadow in front of her. At the same time, she unconsciously twisted her slightly uncomfortable waist and hips seductively, and turned back to sneer and curse, "When Hua Zetsu finds out, I will definitely kill you, you lowly human!"

"Found out? Your Highness, are you sure you want Hanazawa Taku to see you in such a terrible state?"

The left lace shoulder sleeve of the gorgeous wedding dress had long been pulled up to the forearm.

Yi Nanxi looked down at the man's sweaty hand, only to see it release her and reach forward to pull back the curtain.

"!!!" Yi Nanxi's scalp tingled, and she quickly grabbed the man's large hand and pulled it back to her body. Her ears turned even redder, and she gritted her teeth. She turned her head and whispered seductively in Xia Feng's ear, "No, don't do anything rash~ This princess is for you to play with, just don't let that good-for-nothing know."

"From this day forward, we are bound by a blessed union, husband and wife, our destiny intertwined, may we walk hand in hand through thick and thin."

Outside the wedding curtain, the wedding officiant recited obscure and ancient closing words, ending solemnly and deeply: "Both parties, exchange wedding rings."

As the officiant chanted, the sacred wedding curtain was like a pebble dropped into water, creating faint ripples.

Suppressing his excitement and anticipation, Hua Zetuo raised his arm and reached his hand into the wedding curtain. Ripples spread out again, and his palm was completely submerged in them as he approached Yi Nanxi and Xia Feng.

Xia Feng glanced at the wedding ring hanging around Yi Nanxi's neck, then reached out and took it off, whispering in her ear, "Put it on him."

“!!” Yi Nanxi’s face flushed red as she took the wedding ring and looked at Hua Zetuo’s large hand that had entered from outside the wedding curtain, stopping right in front of her heart.

The large hand seemed a little confused, and slightly raised its head forward, its fingertips brushing against the back of Xia Feng's hand. Xia Feng was startled and grabbed Yi Nanxi, taking a small step back.

Yi Nanxi's beautiful eyes widened, her legs pressed tightly together beneath her wedding dress, and her heart leaped into her throat once more.

This foolish human, couldn't he be a little more careful?! Why did he have to get so close!
