In the Inner Court, the ritual of honoring heaven and earth had already begun.
"One bows to heaven and earth..."
"Two bows to the high hall..."
The loud voice of the Ritual Officer intermittently drifted out from inside.
In contrast, the situation in the Outer Academy was starkly different.
The man who suddenly appeared in the sky, so domineering as to engulf everything, slightly furrowed his brows, giving Feng Xun a rather puzzling look.
That kind of gaze held traces of dissatisfaction, mixed with a bit of scrutiny.
It made Feng Xun feel as if he were a piece of pork on a chopping board, critically selected and picked over.
It must be said, this man gave Feng Xun a profound sense of oppression, a feeling he never even had when facing Emperor Beiqing.
"diocre at best."
From the man’s sultry thin lips burst out four words, then he suddenly disappeared.
Only a bright moon remained in the sky, with no trace of the man.
Feng Xun furrowed his brows and touched his nose, muttering to himself.
"Where is the flaw?"
Inside the Inner Court, Nie Fengxing and Ye Huangyu had already completed their bows to heaven and earth, with the wedding planner ushering Ye Huangyu into the bridal chamber, while Nie Fengxing was dragged by a group of soldiers, busy with rounds of toasting.
After drinking a few cups, Heir Qinghai, feeling utterly bored, suddenly noticed a stunning beauty sitting at a neighboring table.
Heir Qinghai had long fancied Ye Lingyue, but unfortunately, the two n pursuing Ye Lingyue, one being His Majesty today and the other Beiqing’s Feng Xun, made him feel he had no chance, so he had withdrawn.
Not being young anymore, and pressured by Marquis Qinghai to et potential matches, he had seen countless daughters from noble families but fancied none.
Unexpectedly, at today’s feast, he found one.
Just as a guest next to the lady stood up, Heir Qinghai seized the opportunity and sat next to her.
"Miss, you look unfamiliar. Are you a relative of Yue Marquis?"
Yun Sheng was thinking of the sleazy man earlier when suddenly soone sat next to her.
Looking up, she saw a young nobleman,
upon seeing her look up, the astonishnt in his eyes deepened.
So beautiful, there actually is such beautiful woman in the world.
Upon seeing her, Heir Qinghai felt his face flush with warmth; born into nobility, he had tasted the company of won from the age of thirteen or fourteen, yet none compared to the one before him.
"I am an old friend of Miss Ye," Yun Sheng smiled gently.
Before her enlightennt as a Buddha, her body carried a fraction of Heavenly Fox’s bloodline.
After marriage, although now a wife and mother, her feminine allure intensified with every move, and despite her efforts to restrain her aura, every word and smile indelibly captivated Heir Qinghai.
"May I ask for your na, miss? I am..." Heir Qinghai was so srized by Yun Sheng’s smile that he beca tongue-tied. Just about to ask, he suddenly heard a loud cough from behind.
That sound echoed in Heir Qinghai’s ears, and he felt his mind thunder, destabilizing him completely, causing him to fall embarrassingly to the ground.
"Boy, remove your infatuation and eyes from my woman."
Heir Qinghai turned around and his face imdiately turned pale.
It was a wildly arrogant man with ink-black long hair and a white brocade robe slightly open at the collar, revealing well-defined, sensual muscles. His narrow eyes, akin to that of a fox, stared fiercely at himself. Just his presence was enough to terrify anyone.
No need to say, the man was none other than Ye Beiming, the Divine Sovereign of the Eight Desolates Divine Domain, known for being "wife-obsessed."
Heir Qinghai felt, as soon as the man spoke, that he had no will to resist. He scrambled as far away as possible, daring not to bother Yun Sheng further.
"He is Yue’er’s friend; you’ve scared him," Yun Sheng said to her husband who boldly sat down, amused yet slightly annoyed.
Looking at Heir Qinghai’s state, he probably would fall severely ill tonight.
Ye Beiming was no ordinary person. After becoming the Divine Sovereign, just his aura was enough to terrify ordinary Main Gods, let alone a re mortal.
As soon as Ye Beiming sat down, the guests at the table scattered like birds and beasts.
Yun Sheng rolled her eyes, but Ye Beiming didn’t care and wrapped his arm around his wife, pulling her close.
"I spared his life only because he is Yue’er’s friend. However, when I ca in, I found Yue’er being very intimate with a man," Ye Beiming grunted dissatisfactorily.
Although their daughter no longer rembered her past life and had rebirthed with a new body, losing all forr mories and not recognizing her true parents,
Ye Beiming still instinctively treated his daughter as a little child.
Just now, if not for the worry that Ye Lingyue would notice him, he would have likely kicked the man taking advantage of his daughter far away.
"Pfft." Yun Sheng had just taken a sip of Five Treasures Brew when she heard Ye Beiming’s sarcastic remark, and she couldn’t help but spit out her drink in laughter.
"How can you be such a father? Yue’er’s body is now fourteen years old, an age where romantic feelings begin to bud. If you dare ddle unnecessarily, I won’t let it go. Also, think about how old we were when we t," Yun Sheng said, glaring at Ye Beiming discontentedly.
When they first fell in love, she was only six or seven years old.
Truly, a lifeti misled by a fox-man!
Ye Beiming laughed silently, looking at his wife in his arms with her cheeks flushed from the wine, more beautiful than ever.
Moved, he leaned over and kissed her on the nose, nonchalantly.
Yun Sheng, feeling embarrassed, pushed him slightly. Despite being a longti married couple, he always acted this way, making Ye Beiming burst out laughing.
"What’s there to fear? I’ve set up a prohibition; no one will notice us. Also, it’s because our daughter has grown up that I didn’t discipline that man just now. However, that man wasn’t too bad. When he saw , he wasn’t intimidated by my aura at all and t my gaze for a long ti. Just this courage alone proves that this boy is extraordinary. Ling Yue has really improved her taste after being reborn."
Yun Sheng was surprised to hear this, knowing that if such high praise ca from the typically critical Ye Beiming, the man Yue’er chose this ti must be no ordinary person.
"Hopefully, this ti, she won’t make a misjudgnt," Yun Sheng thought about her daughter’s tumultuous romantic past and sighed.
"Do you really plan on keeping it a secret from Yue’er and not recognizing her?" Ye Beiming pondered.
"Of course, as you see, Yue’er is very happy now. Although she doesn’t recognize us due to the sealing, she has her own family and friends now, and she will have her own ho in the future. This life, she won’t be hard or betrayed again. As long as she’s happy, even if she never recognizes as her mother, I am willing," Yun Sheng murmured, her bright eyes glazing with a misty veil.
