Blood Fiend is divided into many types within the Xuanmen (mystical sect).

For the next few days, Jiang Ling stayed at home to study the Blood Fiend and how to break it.

During this time, Murong Yan came once and brought Murong Xian's blood. He explained, "His Majesty is wary of me, so it will be difficult to get his blood. We will have to wait a while."

“It’s okay, he’ll definitely come to our wedding! I’ll take the blood myself then.”

Jiang Ling didn't even look up. When the topic of such an important event as her wedding came up, her tone was calm and casual.

There was no joy.

There is no worry.

It's like saying the weather is nice.

Murong Yan lowered his gaze, his eyes deep and dark, concealing a hidden light. He opened his mouth and called out, "Jiang Ling..."

"Mother!"

Jiang Yuyan ran in from outside the door, "Hello, Uncle Yan. Mother, your great-aunt is here!"

"Meet the Regent!"

Wang Lanzhi walked in with a smile, first bowing and greeting Murong Yan. Then she looked at Jiang Ling excitedly, "Ling'er, your wedding dress is altered, hurry up and try it on!"

Behind her, maids carried in a bright red wedding dress and a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe.

Murong Yan's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but stand up and take two steps forward. He had personally chosen this wedding dress!

All the embroiderers in the imperial city worked day and night to complete the pieces, using the finest silk fabrics, gold and silver threads, and jade and jewels. When they were brought out, the room shimmered with jewels, sparkling and festive. It instantly filled everyone with anticipation—what would it look like to wear one?

"Regent, please return!"

Wang Lanzhi mustered her courage and, with a forced smile, urged him to leave: "Before the wedding, the bride and groom are not supposed to meet. You've already made an exception several times! There are only three days left until the wedding, so please abide by the rules a little and accumulate some good fortune and joy."

"Can't I even take a look?"

"Once you're married, it's not too late to enjoy the wedding night later!"

Wang Lanzhi's words were just a casual joke, but to her surprise, the curious Jiang Yuyan immediately asked in his childish voice, "Grandma, what is the wedding night candle?"

Wang Lanzhi exclaimed in surprise, then immediately felt embarrassed, realizing she had forgotten about the child!

"Cough cough!"

Jiang Ling's eyes flashed like daggers at Murong Yan.

Murong Yan's heart was burning with desire, but he feigned composure and solemnity as he changed the subject, "Little one, Uncle Yan has to go back now, will you see me off?"

"Okay! Uncle Yan, I'll take you there."

"You're such a good boy!"

Murong Yan smiled and reached out to lift Jiang Yuyan into his arms. The two-year-old baby looked innocent and his features hadn't fully developed yet, but when his face was close to Murong Yan's, a faint resemblance could still be seen.

As they grow a little older, it becomes even more obvious.

Murong Yan hugged Jiang Yuyan, looking at Jiang Ling with reluctance, "I'm leaving now."

"Ah."

Jiang Ling watched the father and son walk away.

Wang Lanzhi looked on and exclaimed happily, "The Regent's leg is really healed! Ling'er, you are truly a lucky star! As soon as you came, both Father's leg and the Regent's leg were completely healed!"

"Oh!" Wang Lanzhi changed the subject and became worried again: "I really can't bear to see Ling'er get married."

"My aunt is fine. I'm just moving to a different place. I can see her anytime I want."

Jiang Ling casually flipped through the wedding dress. "Auntie, I trust your skills, so there's no need to try it on, right?"

"That won't do! Marriage is a big deal! His Majesty will also be attending the Regent's wedding, so the wedding dress must be perfect! Ling'er, put it on quickly and let your aunt see if there's anything that needs to be altered!"

Wang Lanzhi insisted, so Jiang Ling had no choice but to go inside and change.

The size is perfect!

Jiang Ling walked out of the room, stunning Wang Lanzhi and the maids. Wang Lanzhi wanted Jiang Ling to try on the phoenix crown, but Jiang Ling politely declined, saying that wearing a phoenix crown required combing her hair, which would take at least an hour.

Jiang Ling didn't want to suffer any more before getting married.

Just then, the Thousand-Mile Sound Transmission Mirror was shining, and Jiang Ling immediately used this as an excuse to send away the reluctant Wang Lanzhi.

After she was left alone in the room, Jiang Ling opened the bronze mirror.

"Miss."

Yun Jiao had just called out when he looked up and saw Jiang Ling's appearance. He was instantly stunned and speechless.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling looked down in confusion, "What's wrong with A-Jiao? Is there a problem?"

"No, no."

In a place unseen by the bronze mirror, Yun Jiao clenched his fist tightly. Sharp claws emerged, piercing his palm.

Yun Jiao looked at Jiang Ling quietly, his emerald eyes shimmering with emotion, and then he revealed a sincere and gentle smile.

He exclaimed, "Miss looks beautiful in this wedding dress!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ling's lips curved into a smile.

The next second, Yun Jiao's expression turned somber and he sighed, "It's a pity I can't make it to Miss's wedding. Please forgive me."

"It's alright! It's just a formality. By the way, Ah Jiao, did you contact me with information about Daoist Xuanfeng's whereabouts?"

"Yes."

When Xuanfeng was mentioned, Yunjiao's eyes turned cold.

He told Jiang Ling, "Miss, I tracked down to the Chu Kingdom, and Master Xuanfeng is hiding here!"

"Chu?"

Jiang Ling recalled the map; the Chu Kingdom was located south of the Yan Kingdom, separated by the barbarian tribes. After the barbarians were wiped out, their territory was incorporated into the Yan Kingdom, which was now separated from the Chu Kingdom only by the Hengduan Mountains.

She remembered that the State of Chu was a powerful nation no less than the State of Yan!

"What is Master Xuanfeng doing in the State of Chu?"

"It's still unknown; I'm investigating."

Jiang Ling nodded, "Ah Jiao, thank you for your hard work. Be careful, and be sure to let me know as soon as there's any progress!"

"it is good."

The bronze mirror had dimmed, and Jiang Ling's figure was no longer visible. But her appearance in her wedding dress was stunning and beautiful, deeply etched in Yun Jiao's mind, unforgettable, and endlessly longed for.

"Woo-woo." A strange sound came from beneath the cloud dragon's feet.

Yun Jiao lowered his head; scattered on the ground were the broken limbs of a puppet. A head lay beneath his feet.

Yun Jiao removed its foot from Yun Jiao's mouth, and a woman's high-pitched, seductive voice immediately came from the puppet head: "Yong Jiao demon, if you pledge allegiance to my master, my master will surely help you win the heart of a beauty!"

A cold glint flashed in his blue eyes.

"Crack!"

"what--"

The puppet's head was crushed to pieces, and the woman's screams abruptly stopped.

Yun Jiao's gaze was icy as he murmured, "I would never betray Miss!"

He looked up into the distance. The imperial city of Chu was majestic and imposing, and there was a demonic aura in the sky that was invisible to mortals. The demonic aura and the dragon aura were intertwined and inseparable, proving that the emperor of Chu was accompanied by a powerful demon. Yun Jiao glanced at it again, but did not take it to heart.

His purpose in coming here is only one person!

If he could bring back Master Xuanfeng's head and present it to Miss, she would be overjoyed!

Even if Murong Yan marries the young lady, he cannot take away his position!

Yun Jiao's eyes were resolute and determined. He took a step forward, and his figure vanished into the world in a flash...

Jiang Ling was unaware of Yun Jiao's ulterior motives. She had just changed out of her wedding dress when she received some good news!

She deliberately kept Jiang Yuyan in suspense, teasing him with a smile: "Little one, guess who's coming?"
