590: Chapter 609 Two Women Meet 590: Chapter 609 Two Women Meet Though Duobao Tathagata harbored great enmity toward Ye Xuan, and even wished death upon him, he had witnessed the entirety of Ye Xuan’s cultivation growth with his own eyes, and he could not help but genuinely praise him from the bottom of his heart.
As a peak existence of the Daluo Nine Layer Heaven, Duobao Tathagata was even more formidable than Kong Xuan.
Naturally, he was a powerful figure within the Three Realms.
Although he could not compare to a Quasi-Saint, within the Daluo Peak, he was certainly a terrifying existence.
With just a glance, Duobao Tathagata discerned that Ye Xuan was at the realm of the Fifth Layer of Daluo Heaven.
However, Ye Xuan’s presence exerted an immense pressure upon him, indicating that his combat power was by no means inferior to his own.
“Ye Xuan!” The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden quickly approached, her eyes shimmering with joy like twinkling stars.
Kong Xuan laughed heartily, while the Peng Demon bowed respectfully.
The two stood to the left and right of Ye Xuan.
As this scene unfolded in front of the gathered guests, the whole Turquoise Pool instantly fell silent.
Duobao Tathagata, too, donned a sycophantic smile, nodding very amiably at Ye Xuan before entering the Turquoise Pool gathering without any further words, though his eyes betrayed a deep solemnity.
Clearly, with two individuals of the Daluo Peak standing with Ye Xuan, and considering Ye Xuan’s own combat strength that matched the Daluo Peak, their union imposed a heavy pressure on representatives of the various Daoist factions.
With no Quasi-Saint making an appearance, the Daluo reigned supreme.
The mere display of power by Ye Xuan was enough to arouse extreme wariness among the various Daoist factions.
The Taiyi True Lord of the Chan Sect wore an expression of bitter resignation, knowing all too well that after the Southern Immortal’s failed assassination of Ye Xuan, it was only a matter of time before Ye Xuan would seek retribution from their Chan Sect line.
“The Heavenly Emperor, the auspicious time has arrived.
Please proceed with the Heavenly Empress to conduct the Heaven Worship Ceremony,” said the Heavenly Judge with a sigh of relief upon Ye Xuan’s arrival, bowing respectfully to both Ye Xuan and the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden.
Ye Xuan was dressed in black, his usual attire.
Even on the day of his grand wedding, he did not don the yellow robes of the Heavenly Emperor.
“Mysterious Maiden, come with me.”
Ye Xuan gave the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden a slight smile and took her jade hand directly, leading her toward the center of the Turquoise Pool despite her slight bashfulness.
The drums and se strings played in unison, while celestial music filled the air.
Amidst a shower of falling petals and the gaze of all the guests, Ye Xuan and the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden began the Heaven Worship Ceremony.
The ceremony was solemn and reverent.
The myriad guests remained silent, witnessing the completion of the intricate rites.
“Husbands and wives bow to each other.” Gold Star Taibai’s voice, beaming with joy, echoed through the Turquoise Pool.
“From today onward, you will be the foremost Female Fairy of the Three Realms.
With a unified heart and virtue, we shall formally become husband and wife,” Ye Xuan said calmly, looking at the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, his voice gentle.
“Ye Xuan, do you love me?” The Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden bit her lip slightly, her gaze determined as she looked at Ye Xuan, seeking the answer she most wanted to know.
Fronted with the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden’s serious expression, Ye Xuan was momentarily startled and fell silent, because he truly did not know how to answer her question.
He could have lied, but he chose not to, and instead met her question with silence.
Although their conversation was quiet, the guests, each of formidable cultivation, heard every word.
Seeing Ye Xuan respond with silence, a look of amazement appeared in their eyes.
“It’s okay, I will make you fall in love with me.”
Suddenly, the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden smiled faintly, her smile radiant and carrying a sacred glow, though a trace of sorrow flickered silently in her eyes, well-concealed by her composure.
Watching the smile on the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden’s face, a sigh escaped Ye Xuan’s heart, for he could fully sense that she had already developed feelings for him; a silent bond that would, he feared, bind him in the future.
“Mysterious Maiden has seen her husband,” said the Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden in front of the watchful eyes of the guests, bowing gracefully.
“Madam, you are honored.” Ye Xuan bowed deeply, and the two of them completed the ceremonial bowing as husband and wife.
“Elder brother, once you have drunk the nuptial cups of wine, you will officially be joined in matrimony,” Kong Xuan came striding forward, holding two cups of Dragon Phoenix Immortal Brew in his hands, delivering them to Ye Xuan and Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden with a smile.
At the same time, the voices of congratulations from guests were continuously heard, causing the arms of Ye Xuan and Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden to intertwine, ready to drink the wine in their cups the next moment.
“What a perfect picture of love and devotion.”
Suddenly, a most dissonant voice broke through, sending shocking rumbles through all directions of Heaven and Earth.
A million miles of Yuntian sky unexpectedly darkened as an extremely terrifying presence bore down towards Turquoise Pool.
“How audacious, who dares to disturb the Heavenly Emperor’s grand wedding?” Gold Star Taibai bellowed furiously, while Shen Gongbao and others turned cold, all of them looking towards the distant horizon.
Witch Light pierced the sky, the atmosphere majestic.
That beam of earth-shaking light traveled across a million miles of Changtian, appearing above Turquoise Pool in just an instant.
“Someone from the Witch Clan?”
Kong Xuan’s face turned cold, Daluo Immortal Light steamed forth, a violent murderous intent flashing through his eyes as if he was about to strike the intruder any moment.
No one could blame Kong Xuan for reacting this way; after all, today was Ye Xuan’s wedding day.
As Ye Xuan’s elder brother and a personal attendee of the celebration, it was utterly inconceivable for someone to create trouble here.
They clearly had no regard for him, Kong Xuan.
“Others may fear you, Kong Xuan, but in the eyes of this witch, you’re nothing remarkable,” the voice boomed like Heaven and Earth, domineering in the extreme.
The sky roiled with Witch Light, and as the terrifying Witch Light dissipated, the newcomer’s figure was revealed.
Upon recognizing the intruder, Kong Xuan’s expression shifted, but before he could react, exclamations of shock rose within Turquoise Pool.
Guanghan Fairy?” Gold Star Taibai exclaimed in shock.
Not only Gold Star Taibai, but all the guests present burst into uproar, seeing that the woman beside Kua Fu was none other than the Guanghan Fairy herself.
Following the commotion was utter silence, an extremely bizarre atmosphere took root within Turquoise Pool, as everyone’s gazes turned to Ye Xuan, with some guests showing a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.
Ye Xuan’s arm was entwined with that of Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden, his cup nearly touching his lips, but as he sighted the Guanghan Fairy high in the sky, he froze on the spot, his wine spilling onto the ground.
The cup hit the ground, but it wasn’t Ye Xuan’s cup—it was Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden’s.
This snapped Ye Xuan back to reality.
Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden bit her lip lightly, looking up to the sky only to see a woman dressed in white as snow quietly observing her and Ye Xuan.
However, when Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden saw the woman’s face, her starry eyes glazed over in a moment of bewilderment.
So beautiful, truly incredibly beautiful.
Why would there be such a beautiful woman in the Three Realms?
Nine Heaven Mysterious Maiden bit the bitterness in her heart, asking herself.
As she looked upon the Guanghan Fairy’s visage, her so-called pride ceased to exist, and she finally understood why Ye Xuan had so many stories with this woman.
