Chapter 824 Chapter 824 A Hundred Slaps
"I've been summoned back to the family." The fairy replied. Dressed in fiery red, this woman appeared divine in beauty.
Her raven hair was long as it went beyond her round sexy hips but that had only added a sublime texture to her charm.
A mortal man would have been ashamed to touch her in fear of sullying her apparent exterior perfection.
Her name was Zi Ling and she was the fiancee of our very own protagonist in this world.
"This is strange. Your family would not have called you back for something minor and insignificant." Zi Ling's maidservant made her thoughts known.
Her name was Yan Huan and had been with her young miss for as long as she can remember.
"I want you to send a letter in secret back into the family. Send it to my mother. I'm sure she will enlighten us on why I'm being summoned." Zi Ling instructed wisely.
She was currently in the Silver Sea Palace which was a renowned sect of Eastern Berserk Province.
Lucky Origin City was almost 2,000 kilometers from here with rough challenging terrains along the way.
They were fortunate since magical birds were around that could quickly deliver messages for them. These birds only had to spend less than 1 day to bridge this kind of distance.
"I got it, young miss!" Yan Huan nodded and went out to do what she was told.
Two days later, the magical bird returned with a fresh letter on its feet.
The thing was rolled tightly and it could have easily imprinted a thousand words or more but alas, there was only one sentence on its shiny surface.

"Young Master Su Wen is now healed... from his stupidity." But the sender was wise enough to dismiss from doing so.
There were an infinite eyes and spies inside the complex power structure of Lucky Origin City.
"What are you going to do, young miss?" Yan Huan asked. And for that, she only got a deep breath as a reply.

A whole week passed quickly and a pair of mother and daughter could be seen talking in hushed voices.
Although there were special wards that could prohibit any other ears aside from them in knowing the contents of their conversations but one can never be too careful in these troubled times.
Especially in a cultivation world where any simple offense was answerable by the death of a clan and perhaps more, its slavery.
"Why do i have to marry Su Wen, mother? Can't we just cancel the engagement?" Zi Ling still asked even though she knew the answer to that question quite well.
It was her false hope that encouraged her to find a way out of this predicament.
"The Su Clan is far stronger than our Zi, my daughter. I'm sure you also know this truth long ago.
If we were to cancel this oncoming marriage, i fear that we could not shoulder the fury of Su Wen's family." A more mature version of Zi Ling said.
This was Lady Chi and she was the mother of Zi Ling.
"I'm already in the Peak Stage of Physique Expansion Realm, mother. Just give me some time and i will be able to reach and be a Golden Physique Powerhouse also." Zi Ling said in passion.
"That may be so in the future but sadly for now, that has not happened yet Ling'er. I trust that you know what to do."
Lady Chi replied and stood up to give her child a gentle hug before going out without another word.
There was some things that were just hard to swallow in a world ruled by power and influence.
"..." Zi Ling sat there, deep in thought and unmoving for a long long time.

Another month later and a grand wedding was held in the Su Family domains. All the most powerful clans were invited and thus, thousands of people flooded the scene.
One should know that this ancient city of Lucky Origin boasted a 200 million population today. It was not hard to imagine how busy and prosperous it was in its heyday.
"DING!"
"DING!"
"DING!" The zither strings were gently plucked that bloomed a romantic ambiance in this field of celebration.
The groom was already waiting in the center stage and it was the bride's turn to walk down the aisle filled with a thousand different fragrant flowers.
Zi Ling looked beyond mortal in her wedding dress. It was a simple white dress but she looked nothing less than a fairy that had come to grace this earthy realm.
A perfect picture of purity and beauty. Most of the young men in the scene were struck in lust at first sight.
"Miss Zi Ling is unreal! She should have been my bride, father! Make it happen please!" A 19 year old young bull wanted to steal the bride to be before the ceremony could even begin.

"You evil soul! Do you want to invite a clan extinction event on our doorsteps! Apologize to the Su Clan at once!" The wise father reprimanded his son without fail or tarry.
"But father, i..." The son wanted to argue.
"PAK!" And he got another punishing slap for his efforts.
"Do it or i won't hesitate to disown you at this very moment!" The father threatened.
"Father! I'm in the wrong. Please forgive me for my dumb words! I offer a hundred slaps for my lapse of judgment."
The young master was scared and was forced to enact a funny picture at his expense.
"PAK!"
"PAK!"
"PAK!"
.
..
...
The young master slapped himself until the 100th count was over. It was an obvious testament to how the Su Clan was both feared and respected in this city of Lucky Origin.
But this was merely a small interlude to what was happening in the event. With countless thousands in attendance, the day was bound to be lively.
