The divine beast recognized its master, and the dragon girl, destined to kill him, went to the spiri

"Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Watching Ye Wanqing leave the banquet and come to Sunset Cliff alone, Di Sizhen and Nan Qiao exchanged a glance, inexplicably sensing a touch of melancholy from their senior sister.

Di Sizhen took out the peach blossom wine she had smuggled from the Demon Realm and handed it to Ye Wanqing, then poured a cup for Nan Qiao.

"coming."

The setting sun, like molten gold, was slowly sinking behind the distant mountains. The dark blue-green mountains stretched out in layers, extending from the rugged cliffs in front to the horizon, turning into pale gray outlines that almost blended into the twilight.

"Do you still remember us on this Sunset Cliff when we were young?"

"Of course I remember." Di Sizhen took Ye Wanqing's hand and sat down, her brows revealing a deep sense of nostalgia. "Back then, everyone was here, and Zhiqiao and I would often beg you, Senior Sister, to make us roast chicken."

Nan Qiao put down the peach blossom wine in her hand. Due to her health condition, she could not drink too much. After taking a few sips, she focused all her attention on Ye Wanqing.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong? You've been looking rather downcast since the beginning. Is it because of Uncle-Master Daoqing and Senior Brother Zhiqiao's affair?"

"Not entirely." Ye Wanqing left those words and said nothing more, only gazing at the setting sun in the distance, her thoughts drifting away. Di Sizhen and Nan Qiao stayed by her side, both of them tacitly remaining silent.

Ye Wanqing's mind went blank, but the words that Shui Ling had said to her in the banquet when she transformed into "Zechuan" gradually surfaced in her mind.

“Master, I have searched through mountains and wells, rivers and seas, and left messages for countless aquatic creatures, but I have not been able to detect Jiang Xu’s presence.”

As he spoke, Zechuan's expression grew increasingly complex, a mixture of worry, confusion, and shock.

The worrying thing is that Jiang Xu has not been found to this day.

Strangely, despite being a half-merman and half-sea creature, Jiang Xu, as the spirit of countless waters, was unable to sense Jiang Xu's presence.

Shockingly, even he couldn't sense Jiang Xu's presence. But the world is vast and boundless, and the source of water is all things. It's very likely that Jiang Xu isn't even within this realm.

If Jiang Xu wasn't in the Three Realms, where else could he appear? Ze Chuan dared not even think about it. And what he knew, Ye Wanqing knew all too well.

If it's not within this realm, then things will get complicated.

Thinking of the strange power within Jiang Xu's body, and his mysterious biological father, Ye Wanqing's expression darkened, and she pursed her lips, hoping it wasn't what she thought.

……

"A grand wedding?"

Ye Wanqing looked at Di Siheng, who seemed serious, her expression flickering with surprise. "So sudden?"

It's "so suddenly," not "why."

Di Siheng's lips curled up as he sat down, his right hand lightly encircling Ye Wanqing's waist. "The power of the rules has been oppressing me for several days. I will soon be heading to another realm. I have already taken care of things in the Demon Realm. From now on, Di Sizhen will be the Empress, with Sikong and Sizhou assisting her."

He lowered his head, his deep and tender gaze seemingly falling into Ye Wanqing's eyes. "The only thing I'm worried about is you and Yubao. After the wedding, we will worship the Heavenly Dao and establish a contract. Marriage is outside the rules of the Five Elements, so the power of the rules will not affect it. Wanwan, I'm being selfish, but I still want to ask if you're willing?"

Dao Tian had originally given him only five days, but he used a secret demonic technique to extend those five days to ten, so that everything would be in time, and he had no regrets.

Di Siheng's deep eyes were fixed on Ye Wanqing, while something flashed through her mind, but she couldn't grasp it in time, her thoughts drifting away.

Ye Wanqing stared intently at Di Siheng. Just as he was about to try a different approach to persuade him, a soft "Okay" resonated in his heart.

The wedding will be held three days later.

What seemed like a spur-of-the-moment decision was actually something Di Siheng had arranged months in advance. On the very night he questioned Ye Wanqing, he put everything on the agenda and made all the necessary preparations.

"Senior sister, you are absolutely stunning today. Sigh, my brother is barely a match for you."

Di Sizhen and Nan Qiao arrived hand in hand, accompanying Ye Wanqing as the maidservants beside them did her hair and makeup.

Ye Wanqing looked up at her reflection in the mirror. Her face, unadorned, was naturally fair and white, and her eyebrows, like distant mountains shrouded in mist, possessed a natural elegance that needed no makeup.

Hearing Di Sizhen's teasing, she smiled but didn't say anything more.

Ye Wanqing's eyelashes are long and delicate like butterfly wings, casting a light shadow under her eyes when they fall. When she opens her eyes, her pupils are clear like ink beads soaked in spring water, and the slight upturn at the corners of her eyes adds to her undeniable charm.

Because Ye Wanqing didn't want things to be so complicated, she skipped a series of steps and Di Siheng directly led people into the temple to welcome them back to the Demon Realm.

Evening was the time for them to be bound by vows.

"Wanwan."

A deep yet tender voice rang out, and the people in the hall immediately began to tease each other.

"Oh my, brother, you came really fast. My senior sister just finished getting ready."

"I think my brother-in-law can't wait any longer."

In the Heavenly Spirit Realm, when newlyweds get married, the bride does not need to cover her face. Cultivators, regardless of gender, all value presenting themselves openly and in the most perfect manner.

Di Siheng gazed at the pearl hairpin hanging from Ye Wanqing's temple, and at the rouge that made her skin look even whiter than snow. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly involuntarily, and he even softened his breathing.

As their eyes met, a sudden glimmer of light appeared in his eyes, as if he had incorporated all the stars in the sky. His previous coldness completely disappeared, leaving only an unyielding tenderness.

"Wanwan, I've come to pick you up."

Outside the temple

Huaijin, Jingheng, and Su Shaohuai stood against the wind. The two brothers knew Su Shaohuai's identity and background. It could be said that his reincarnation was also orchestrated by the two of them.

When Ye Wanqing suddenly decided to get married, the two of them, unusually, did not stop her, but their eyes showed no joy.

The expression in Su Shaohuai's eyes was unreadable, but he was definitely looking into the hall, as if he could see through the hall doors to the woman inside who haunted his dreams.

He understood Di Siheng's purpose and intentions.

In fact, he could do the same.

This was his innate mission.

"Fengzi, how is your power inheritance going?"

The sudden voice interrupted Su Shaohuai's thoughts. He came back to his senses, his expression showing some respect, "We've reached the ninth floor."

“Very good. If Di Siheng fails…” Jingheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, but his gaze was somewhat scrutinizing.

Su Shaohuai's expression remained unchanged. "Fengzi has a mission to fulfill, and she will always keep it in mind."

"very good."

At this moment, Huai Jin, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly asked, "Now that you've gone this far, will you blame us?"

"The will of Heaven, the direction of the heart."

It was a mission he was entrusted with, but it was also his wish to submit.

At this moment, the sky was changing, but the changes only lasted for a moment before returning to normal.

Huaijin's expression was somewhat inscrutable. "We're about to face a tough battle."

They were so tough that they weren't sure if they could protect their little sister on their own.

When they first heard about Di Siheng's plan, they were undoubtedly shocked and excited, but after calming down, they had extremely complicated feelings.

If Di Siheng can truly achieve this, then the title of "brother-in-law" is fitting.
