Bound to Mary Sue, I am against involution in the world of immortal cultivation

"..."

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Inside the hall, Yu Li calmly looked at Fan Ning who was drinking tea across from him, trying to find some trace of mischief on her smiling face. Even if it was just a little bit, at least he wouldn't have to hear the bad news of the city gates being wide open after sealing the entrance to the Demon Realm.

"I've gathered all the talents in the Demon Realm who are skilled in barrier arts to rebuild the defenses. You'd better really understand what you're saying."

Be crowned queen... Haha, if this difficulty is over, you can do it at any other time, but choose now... Isn't this just walking towards your own death?

"Boundary magic... That's just perfect," Fan Ning lowered her head slightly, exposing her slender white neck to the air, and the red spot on her shoulder was particularly obvious.

Don’t look at what is indecent… Yu Li turned his head and was just about to drink a cup of tea to moisten his throat when he heard Fan Ning’s sudden appearance.

She said, "It just so happens that the snow before the Demon Palace has ruined many of the beautiful flowers. If you have a barrier, please make my ceremony more grand."

“It would be best if it existed in all four seasons, but the temperature should be as warm as spring…”

"...Fan Ning." Unable to finish the tea, Yu Li immediately put it down and poured the remaining warm tea onto his sleeves, leaving a trace of it. "Do you really know what time it is?"

"The invitations have been sent out, and of course the wedding will go on as planned," Fan Ning finally looked at him, her eyes curved, but there wasn't much of a genuine smile in them. "It's not good to abandon such an important matter halfway."

"If I don't give them even the slightest chance, they might do something I can't even imagine...it would just increase the risk."

Yu Li was silent for a moment, then subtly felt that this made sense. He then composed his expression and asked politely, "Do you have a solution for unexpected situations?"

"When enemies come, we will fight them with soldiers; when water comes, we will block it with earth. What other solutions do you need?" Fan Ning raised his eyebrows, as if he heard something interesting, and drank the tea in his hand coldly.

"If I don't take the initiative to do things that others dislike, then they will be the ones to cause trouble for me," she glanced at the candle that was about to burn out, the light reflected in her eyes flickered, and in the blink of an eye, her mood darkened.

"So what preparations should we make for the wedding?" Yu Li, who also agreed with this statement, looked at Fan Ning again. He smiled and reminded her subtly in a gentle voice, "This wedding is destined to fail. It's just a pretense."

"We should prepare for the impending unrest early."

"Seriously, this is a serious topic. Doesn't this sound completely terrible?"

Fan Ning sighed. She certainly had no intention of forcing a dispute over a fact that was, to a certain extent, irrefutable.

But there was only one sentence that Fan Ning felt he still needed to emphasize.

"This is a wedding," she said seriously, a hint of ordinary joy flashing across her eyes, which usually showed no emotion, and even dulled the coldness on her body. "When lovers finally get married, everything else should be put aside."

After Yu Li understood this, he felt his scalp tingling, but he was a demon general who had worked in the demon world for many years. Although he still had doubts in his heart, when he saw Fan Ning's eyes, he subconsciously chose to agree.

I just believed in her, Yu Li thought, and actually remembered the types of barrier techniques.

On the other hand, the remaining protagonist was not in such a relaxed mood.

Ling You stood by the window and looked at the cedars standing by the water. As the cold wind blew in, his drooping eyelashes began to tremble.

He was nervous, for the upcoming "wedding" - and also for the inevitable "strangulation".

A pair of hands wrapped around his waist from behind. Fan Ning came over and pressed against his neck. Along with the hot breath, a cold hand reached into his sleeve and quietly interlocked her fingers with his.

"Fan Ning...did I cause you any trouble?"

"When have you ever been able to implicate me?" Fan Ning was surprised. Remembering his problem, he casually said, "Don't worry, you're not that capable yet. These people will be provoked and are definitely coming for me."

If she hadn't taken the initiative to claim it openly, even Jiang Biehe, who was closest to the Heavenly Dao, would not have noticed the problem in Ling You's body - she might not even know what the two ancestors had done.

"Trust me, you just need to clean yourself up, and then we can become true Taoist partners with everyone's blessings."

"...Is there really any blessing?" Ling You expressed his doubt about this statement. He turned around and hugged Fan Ning into his arms. When he met that smiling face that was reddened by the cold wind, his pupils trembled unconsciously, "We will always be together."

Regardless of whether there are blessings or not, no matter how those people will appear in the end.

-

After the news of the demon world spread, the leaders of the righteous sects also found it incredible.

Without any control, the rumors of the "savior" became more and more intense, and in the end, they even exaggerated the severity of what was happening.

In the Yueli Sect's headmaster's hall, the three people with the highest cultivation level and the closest relationship with the two people in the sect sat together, and on the table was the exquisitely framed invitation.

"How is it?" The head of the sect spoke first, pointing his finger at the name signed, finally feeling the thorny situation, "Those people don't seem to be in a good condition."

Qian Jiangyue rubbed his brows upon hearing this, "I've taken a lot of pills these past two days. Only when I come into contact with the herbs planted by Fan Ning can I maintain some true clarity of mind."

Rong Zhao nodded, thought for a moment, looked at the headmaster in the middle, and said without emotion: "Before, there was a period of time when my body felt completely controlled by an unknown consciousness."

The headmaster's expression suddenly became serious.

Qian Jiangyue would be fine, but Rong Zhao is a sword cultivator, the one with the strongest will and the one least likely to be bewitched among all the cultivators.

Being able to control the most powerful swordsman in the world... No matter how much he didn't want to believe it, the Sect Leader had to put that word out there that shouldn't be there.

"It looks like...someone's doing this." He was silent for a moment, truly baffled. "But, can rules have their own selfish motives?"

Or is it that there really is something in Fan Ning that even the Heavenly Dao wants to obtain... ?

"Abyss—" Rong Zhao's voice called back his wandering thoughts. When both of them looked over, he mentioned another matter, "The body of the former Demon Lord was found in a hidden cave."

"But strangely enough, he did have traces of the power of the abyss, but they disappeared after his death."
