The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 576 Being Decadent

Chu Xun was always in a stable mood, but once he made up his mind to do something, he would do it as swiftly and violently as thunder. Since he was going to give Bi Keyun a lesson, he wanted to do it impressively.

“Miss Bi, don’t think too highly of yourself. Without my protection, the Chamber of Lead-Glass would have been in ruins a long time ago. Why have I protected your Chamber of Lead-Glass for so long? Why have the Yan Family helped you reconstruct the Chamber of Lead-Glass? Do you think we did these all because of you? To put it bluntly, the mountain guards of my Chu Mansion can easily kill a person like you.” Chu Xun sneered.

Bi Keyun’s face turned pale. She had thought about the reason but did not dare to admit it. She carefully guarded her self-esteem, but Chu Xun uncovered the fact straightforwardly.

“If the Chamber of Lead-Glass had been destroyed, do you have any chance to talk about your rules? People set the rules. The disciples are not allowed to get married for the rest of their lives. Do you consider it filial to your ancestors? Don’t be so ridiculous. If one day the Chamber of Lead-Glass really disappears, you will be considered unfilial. Do you understand?”

Chu Xun hit the nail on the head and made her lose face. He directly trampled on her self-esteem.

“In this world, if you’re powerful enough, whatever you do will be considered right. However, you can’t even protect yourself, and you are still insisting on the ancestral rules. If you don’t even understand this, I think you have not lived.”

Chu Xun smirked, unlocked Yao Baiyue, and said, “Please come with me.”

“Master, please take care of yourself.” Yao Baiyue fell to her knees and kowtowed to Bi Keyun thrice.

Chu Xun’s words not only humiliated Bi Keyun but also made her feel deeply moved. She thought carefully about it and felt she owed Yan Wushuang too much all these years. As an outstanding expert, Chu the Devil had saved the Chamber of Lead-Glass many times not because of the relationship between the Chamber of Lead-Glass and him, but because of Yan Wushuang.

Bi Keyun lowered her head and didn’t know how to reply.

“Miss Bi, I still hope that you can attend Yan Wushuang’s wedding ceremony. After all, the Lady of the Moon is your disciple, and you have raised her since she was a little child. I hope that you can come with blessings for them, but not to embarrass the Yan family. If you annoy me, I will send the entire Chamber of Lead-Glass to see their makers.”

After finishing his words, Chu Xun raised his hand and activated an invisible force that wrapped around Yao Baiyue. Then the two vanished without a trace.

Two weeks later, the reconstruction of the Yan family’s residence and the Chamber of Lead-Glass was completed.

The Yan family was the ruler of Yanxue City and had a close relationship with Chu the Devil. In addition to it, the wedding day of Yan Wushuang would arrive. The Yan family was greeted with two good things. Its friends of the Martial Tao World came to congratulate one after another.

Yan Guilai couldn’t withhold laughing and was busy receiving those guests.

Yan Wushuang still kept a poker face. His wedding ceremony was different from Chu Xun’s. He was arranged to marry a woman he didn’t love, so it was simply a task for him to get married. He was not happy at all.

Flaming Qilin sighed all the time as if he were the one forced to get married.

“Brother Yan is so pitiful,” he had said the words many times.

“Why is he so pitiful about getting married? You’re the most pitiful one, aren’t you? As a divine beast, you’re still single.” Chu Xun glanced at him and teased him.

Flaming Qilin squinted and said, “Chu the Devil, I feel that you are not worried about Wushuang at all. You are a good friend of him, aren’t you? Don’t forget that when you got married, he was busy preparing for your wedding. Is it good of you to say the words now? He is forced to get married. Do you think he is happy about it? The words of you make me despise you.”

“You can despise me, but if one day you want to marry Su Wei’er, don’t ask me for help,” Chu Xun said calmly and slowly.

“Pah! I will never ask you for help. As long as I want to get married, Sacred Maiden will immediately say yes to my proposal. I won’t need your help,” Flaming Qilin retorted.

“All right. When Wushuang’s wedding is over, I am going to have a visit to the Elf race. Do you dare to come with me at that time?”

“Why don’t I dare to do it?” Flaming Qilin felt a little guilty in fact. When Chu Xun was framed by the Queen of Elves, he was indeed angry and decisive and left elegantly. Considering that Chu Xun was fine now, he began to miss Su Wei’er. Feeling a little embarrassed, he dares not go back to see her immediately.

“Well, please stop talking about me. Let’s talk about Wushuang. What should we do for him?” Flaming Qilin said, “We can’t just watch Wushuang marry a woman he has never seen before, can we?”

“Why can’t we?” Chu Xun said in a strange tone, “In ancient times, parents were the ones to decide their children’s marriage. A bridegroom and his bride couldn’t see each other until their wedding night. Getting married for them was like gambling. At least Wushuang has seen the photo of his bride. It is lucky for him to have a chance to choose. You have seen Lady Bai Feng before, haven’t you? She is beautiful. She and Wushuang look good together.”

“You...” Flaming Qilin’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Do you mean that you think Wushuang should marry Bai Feng? To put it bluntly, has Yan Guilai given you any gifts?”

Chu Xun glared at him and said with a smile, “What gifts? Do you want to see Wushuang remain single for the rest of his life? Is it possible for Wushuang and Yao Baiyue to be together? With Bi Keyun’s cultivation, it’s easy for her to live for hundreds or thousands of years more. Do you want him to wait for Yao Baiyue hundreds or thousands of years more?”

Flaming Qilin stared at Chu Xun with his eyes that looked like a tiger’s, speechless. Despite the fact, he still felt wronged for Yan Wushuang.

“It’s all Bi Keyun’s fault. If Wushuang hadn’t stopped me, I would have killed her. Damn it, who the hell does she think she is? She’s always sarcastic even at this age. It must be because she has no lover that she stops Wushuang and Baiyue from being together.”

“Stop complaining. Although Wushuang is forced to get married, we should understand that Master Yan wants to have grandchildren. Wushuang is almost two hundred years old now,” Chu Xun said.

Flaming Qilin was a bit annoyed, “What the fuck. I won’t care about it anymore.”

“Let’s go and comfort Wushuang. He must be in a bad mood now,” Chu Xun said.

The two found Yan Wushuang drinking alone in a pavilion.

Chu Xun and Flaming Qilin exchanged a quick look.

Flaming Qilin said with a grin, “Wushuang, you’re too stingy. How could you drink alone and not share your wine with us?”

“Nice to see you,” Yan Wushuang turned around and greeted them. He looked lifeless with no vigor.

“Wushuang, don’t you think you’re going too far?” Chu Xun frowned and said, “Since you’ve promised to get married, don’t show your displeasure so obviously. Are you torturing yourself or silently fighting against your father? To put it bluntly, no matter how decadent you have become, you can’t avoid the wedding.”

Yan Wushuang chuckled reluctantly, “Chu Xun, I know it’s not good to be so decadent, but I can’t withhold my emotion at all. I’m different from you. You’re Chu the Devil and famous all over the world. There are so many women loving you sincerely. The most important thing is that no one can stop you and your lovers from being together. The people around you have all given you their blessings. I’m Yan Wushuang, and the words that I’m a gentle and peerless Young Master of the Yan Family are like a joke. Compared with you, I’m so tiny. I always think that one day, I’ll be like you. Everyone will tremble when they hear my name. But now, I can not even take charge of marriage, let alone the world.”

“Yan Wushuang, why not be braver? You are just getting married, aren’t you? It won’t kill you. If you don’t want to marry that woman, go to tell your father. If you don’t want to tell your father in person, I’ll tell him on behalf of you.” Seeing Yan Wushuang being so decadent, Flaming Qilin got annoyed. “Damn it. When we fought against the Chosen Ones of the Assembly of Immortals, we were so high-spirited that we even were not afraid of death. At that time, we joked that we were going to drink with Yama. Why are you so depressed faced with a marriage?”

Yan Wushuang was stunned for a moment, and then he said with an upset look, “Qilin, I’m different from you. I’m the only son of my father and the Young Master of the Yan family. I have to take responsibility for my family. Even if I don’t want to get married, I have to. I can’t be selfish and only care for myself.”

Flaming Qilin ruffled his red hair in frustration. “Chu the Devil, do you have any idea? How about we go to find Master Yan and Bi Keyun? Or how about we snatch Yao Baiyue and let her go with Wushuang like we planned before. Since the Jianghu is so big, they can go anywhere they want. At that time, no one can divide them again, right?”

Chu Xun glared at him and said, “Wushuang is the Young Master of the Yan Family, and Baiyue is the Sacred Maiden of the Chamber of Lead-Glass. If the two go far away, they would make themselves laughingstocks. What about the reputation of the Yan family?”

“Reputation is of no use. Is it more important than Wushuang’s happiness?” Flaming Qilin pointed at Yan Wushuang angrily and said, “Look at him. He is so decadent even before getting married. If he marries that woman, he will probably be similar to a walking dead.”

“That’s enough. It is the business of the Yan family. We should not interfere in it. Wushuang has agreed to get married, so he must keep his words. If he breaks off the engagement now, what should Lady Bai Feng do? She is a woman. Do you want her to bear the consequence of his action? If Wushuang breaks off the engagement, the Tianyin Pavilion will probably attack the Yan family immediately. Do you think the Tianyin Pavilion will swallow the humiliation silently?”

Flaming Qilin patted his head and picked up the wine bottle with annoyance. He had some mouthfuls of alcohol. Then he smashed the bottle into pieces. “Damn it. I just don’t want to see Wushuang become so depressed. I will go out and take a breather. Please don’t follow me.”

Chu Xun quickly stopped him. If Flaming Qilin went out, he would make trouble.

“What are you doing?” Flaming Qilin roared.

“You’d better stay with Wushuang now. Aren’t you afraid that he will commit suicide?” Chu Xun said.

Flaming Qilin thought for a moment and said, “You are right. I have to watch him. In such a bad mood, he may do such a stupid thing.”

Yan Wushuang rolled his eyes at them. No matter how stupid he was, he wouldn’t commit suicide because of a marriage, would he? Did the two regard him as a protagonist in those melodramatic TV series?

“What are you going to do?” Seeing that Chu Xun was about to leave, Flaming Qilin asked subconsciously.

“I’ll go and ask Master Yan if there’s anything I can do for him,” Chu Xun said and turned to leave.

Flaming Qilin was stunned for a while and pointed in the direction in which Chu Xun left and said to Yan Wushuang, “Look, does he deserve to be one of your best friends? He doesn’t help you but go to prepare for your wedding ceremony. I will break off all ties with him.”
