First annul the engagement, then sever ties with the empress; the empress reigns supreme.

As soon as Bai Tianjiao appeared, Mu Lingye shielded Gu Junxi behind him.

Mr. Suxin did the same, instinctively shielding Baihui, who was still lying down, behind him.

Bai Tianjiao, with her beautiful phoenix eyes, glanced at the four people in the room and giggled.

“What a loving couple! Grandmaster, if you had revealed your hidden affection to your master long ago, your master would not have ended up like this.”

Mr. Suxin gave Bai Tianjiao a cold look. He stared at her with a deep gaze and asked, "What exactly did you do to your master? Why is your master so deeply poisoned by the demonic poison that it has affected his mind?"

"Haha." Bai Tianjiao did not deny what she had done, and laughed loudly: "Grandmaster, you have already diagnosed it as the Demon Poison, and you know that Master is out of her mind, so why are you so foolish as to ask me again? I must have added the Demon Poison to her food every day."

"Who told her to do all sorts of bad things, but not dare to take the last step? Talk to me about propriety and shame? Ha, someone who dared to poison and imprison her own master is worthy of talking to me about propriety and shame. It's really laughable."

Bai Tianjiao tilted her head back, looking somewhat deranged. In this way, she didn't seem much different from Bai Hui when she went mad after being poisoned.

"What exactly do you want to do?" Mr. Suxin asked.

Having done so much, there must be some ulterior motive.

Bai Tianjiao came here now for her own purposes. She stopped wasting words: "It's simple, continue what's left unfinished. With handsome men in my arms, I can rule the world."

Bai Tianjiao pointed her finger at Mu Lingye: "Marry me as scheduled, and I'll spare your wife's life. Otherwise, your wife and the child in her womb will go to see the King of Hell together."

As soon as she finished speaking, she gave a wink to the person beside her, and a maid standing next to her placed the tray containing the wedding robes on the table.

"Put it on, don't miss the auspicious time. After all, I still have ten husbands to visit one by one." Bai Tianjiao stroked her exquisitely styled hair.

Mu Lingye turned his head to look at Gu Junxi. Gu Junxi's body still seemed limp and weak. She nervously tugged at Mu Lingye's sleeve: "A-Ling, no, I won't allow you to marry another woman."

"Silly girl, I also can't bear to marry another woman. But if I don't marry another woman, what will happen to you and the child in your belly?" Mu Lingye turned to the side and gently cupped Gu Junxi's face in his hands.

The two were like a pair of star-crossed lovers, inseparable even in life and death, spouting repetitive and meaningless sentimentalities. If they weren't given a time limit, they could linger together for three days and three nights.

Bai Tianjiao was also a woman who was wronged by a man; she was a victim at first. Her family was of ordinary means, but she was not worried about food or clothing. Because she was good at needlework, she made a living by doing embroidery.

One day, while visiting a temple with her parents, she met a young man who was also there to offer incense. The two fell in love at first sight and pledged their lives to each other. However, when Bai Tianjiao was completely smitten, she learned that the man was already engaged to the daughter of the prefect.

When the prefect's daughter came to her door with her people, she became a mistress whom everyone hated and who could not be seen in public.

She was already pregnant at the time, but the beating caused her to miscarry. Her reputation was ruined, and her neighbors all scorned her. Her parents were so ashamed because of her that they dared not go out and see anyone. They both died of illness before they had survived for more than six months.

She was furious and went to the prefect's daughter to demand justice, but was chased and bitten by dogs and thrown into a mass grave. Bai Hui rescued her and even took her as her apprentice.

Therefore, what she hates most is people showing off their affection in front of her.

Bai Tianjiao exuded a fierce aura and shouted, "Enough!"

Mu Lingye and Gu Junxi both fell silent and looked at Bai Tianjiao.

Bai Tianjiao, high and mighty, issued an ultimatum, pointing at Mu Lingye: "I'll give you half a quarter of an hour to get dressed."

Bai Tianjiao left with her entourage.

Gu Junxi and Mu Lingye stopped deliberately showing affection. All four of them had taken the antidote made by Mr. Suxin, and the effects in their bodies had been neutralized.

Mu Lingye held Gu Junxi's hand in his palm and played with it: "Why don't we just fight our way out?"

Gu Junxi disagreed: "It's too dangerous to fight our way out. Why don't we play along? You go out in your wedding attire and see what Bai Tianjiao is up to. Anyway, Xuan Shi has already gone to get reinforcements, and they should be here soon."

Mu Lingye glanced at the fiery red wedding robe with a sense of unease and said, "I don't want to wear that dress unless you're the bride."

"What can I do? I want to see you in it. You look good in a groom's suit." Gu Junxi tugged at Mu Lingye's hand.

The two started showing off their affection again.

Mr. Suxin couldn't listen any longer and closed his eyes to urge, "Half an hour is almost up."

Half an hour later, the door to the bamboo house opened again, and Mu Lingye, dressed in his wedding robes, appeared, his face cold and his entire being radiating murderous intent. Even with his handsome face, no one dared to look him directly in the eye.

Bai Tianjiao glanced at it briefly before immediately looking away.

He wondered who Mu Lingye was, given his imposing aura that made people afraid to look him in the eye. But there was no turning back now; things had already come to this point, and there was no reason to stop.

"Alright, everyone, let's go." Bai Tianjiao turned and walked forward.

In addition to taking Mu Lingye away, Bai Tianjiao also allowed Gu Junxi, Mr. Suxin, and Bai Hui to attend the ceremony.

Since waking up from her coma, Bai Hui has been very silent, looking as if she is in a daze.

Gu Junxi asked Mr. Suxin, who was also unsure, but vaguely guessed that it was probably related to the Demon Poison and the reason why the toxin entered the body.

As time was wasted, it was already broad daylight. The Hundred Flowers Pavilion was decorated very festively today, with "double happiness" characters pasted everywhere and "double happiness" ribbons covering the walls. The maids and servants also wore "double happiness" ribbons around their waists.

Guests began to arrive one after another, and before long the entire Hundred Flowers Pavilion was bustling with activity.

The auspicious time for the wedding had arrived.

Gu Junxi sat in the audience and overheard the conversations of the guests. It turned out that these guests had all come out of curiosity after hearing that the owner of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion was going to marry eleven stunningly handsome men in one day.

The sounds of string and wind instruments filled the air, accompanied by singing and shouts. Bai Tianjiao walked at the very front, a red silk ribbon in her hand leading eleven stunningly handsome men as they gracefully emerged.

Mu Lingye also held a red silk ribbon in his hand and mingled among the eleven handsome men. His appearance was undoubtedly the most outstanding among them.

"The bride and groom are settled. They bow to heaven and earth."

The cheers and shouts resumed. No one had ever witnessed such a spectacle as a woman marrying eleven men, and the wedding hall erupted in cheers.

Amidst the cheers, Bai Tian, ​​with her charming demeanor, was about to bow. But Mu Lingye remained standing, throwing the red silk in his hand to the ground instead.

Bai Tianjiao frowned instantly, looking at Mu Lingye threateningly: "What do you want to do?"

Mu Lingye confessed: "Of course we won't get married. I'm wearing this wedding dress because my wife wanted to see me wear it. It's already the limit for me to have come to this wedding hall with you. If I were to have to go through the wedding ceremony with you again, wouldn't I be impure?"

To say that marrying her is unclean is a veiled insult, implying she's unclean. The more alluring Bai Tianjiao appears on the outside, the more insecure she is inside.

Mu Lingye's words reminded her of the days when she was misunderstood and called a slut after her miscarriage, like a rat in the street.

She glared at Mu Lingye with resentment, biting her lip until it bled: "What a dirty bastard! How dare you defy me like this? Aren't you afraid your wife and children will die?"

Almost as soon as Bai Tianjiao finished speaking, everyone in the wedding hall collapsed to the ground, their limbs weak.

"Bai Tianjiao, what have you done to us?"

When they realized something was wrong with their bodies, everyone lost interest in watching the show and started questioning Bai Tianjiao.

Bai Tianjiao did not answer. At this moment, several maids with red silk ribbons tied around their waists dragged in several guests who were also weak and powerless, and casually pushed them into the wedding hall to report.

"Hey, all the guests who came to the wedding banquet today are here."

"Very good." Bai Tianjiao nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this scene, the guests in the wedding hall became even more nervous and frightened, and the number of questions posed to Bai Tianjiao increased.

"Bai Tianjiao, what are you trying to do? We are all prominent figures in Tianfu City. If you dare to hurt us, the government will not let you off the hook."

Bai Tianjiao snorted coldly, not taking the threats seriously. She raised her leg and stomped on the chest of a middle-aged man who was dressed in gold and silver, with a fat face and a very prosperous appearance.

"Shut up, or I'll throw you into the lake to feed the fish."

"What exactly does Bai Tianjiao want to do?" Gu Junxi asked, unable to resist asking this question as she spent time with Mr. Suxin and Bai Hui.

Bai Hui, who had been acting foolishly, replied, "The whole 'one woman marrying eleven incredibly handsome men' thing is just a gimmick. It's all to attract all the powerful and influential people in Tianfu City to come and visit, so we can capture them all and extract money from them."

“Baihua Tower seems quite wealthy, not like they’re short of money.” Gu Junxi turned to look at Bai Hui, whose eyes looked clear at the moment, not like someone who was mentally challenged.

Everything was fine until Mr. Suxin looked at Baihui, just like Gu Junxi. Baihui then started patting her temples with her hands: "...I can't remember, I can't remember."

"Hui'er, if you can't remember, don't think about it for now." Mr. Suxin got up and came to Baihui's side, pressing down on her hand that was patting her temples.

Gu Junxi: ...

It seems like Baihui is faking it right now.

However, Gu Junxi soon no longer needed to ask Bai Hui for answers, because someone else walked in from the entrance of the wedding hall.

The man was dressed in black and wore a half-mask. But the half of his face that was visible felt incredibly familiar to Gu Junxi. Afraid she was mistaken, she immediately looked at Mu Lingye for an answer.

Mu Lingye, like her, clearly recognized the newcomer. He nodded definitively at Gu Junxi.

Gu Junxi felt a surge of joy. It was all so easy; not only did she find her master upon entering the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, but she also encountered the fleeing Wei Ming.

“Mr. Wei, you’ve arrived. I have done as you instructed and used the refined Devil’s Flower to control all these people. They can be used by you now. But don’t forget the promise you made to me.”

Bai Tianjiao saw Wei Ming enter the wedding hall and went to greet him.
