I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 253: The Red Wedding

Jing Clan’s Tulou, Caiyun Pavilion.

In a lavishly decorated room, Yan Wushuang gazed at the Copper Mirror before him.

The reflection showed him as handsome and peerless as ever, though now his eyes carried traces of the scars of time.

Yet, these added a mature charm to him.

Ten years seemed like a dream!

This direct descendant of the Yan Clan in Xia Ruins sighed inwardly.

Back then, what high spirits he had.

He called friends, reveled among flowers, spent money like water, unmatched among peers!

But now, Yan Wushuang was about to marry into the Jing Clan, "wed" a woman he did not love.

The humiliation and resentment in Yan Wushuang’s heart, there was simply no one he could confide in.

But there was no choice.

He survived ten years in Great Dream Marsh, thanks to the protection of the Jing people.

Originally, Yan Wushuang could continue to hold out.

However, the tragedy that happened recently on Nanli Island made the Jing people’s high-level lose all patience.

Unless Yan Wushuang escaped, he had no other choice.

Of course, marrying into the Jing Clan had its benefits.

The Great Witch of the Jing people promised that after marriage, he would find a way to lift the seal on his Dantian.

Han Zixun!

The heart’s bane who caused his cultivation to stall for ten years made Yan Wushuang’s teeth itch with hatred.

In the future, breaking the seal to Tier Five, the first thing he would do was to tear that wastrel Han Zixun apart!

With a surge of emotions, Yan Wushuang’s forehead suddenly bulged.

It appeared insect-like, writhing and twisting with claws extended.

Yan Wushuang’s gaze tightened, raising a hand to stroke his forehead.

The strange occurrence disappeared instantly.

But his eyes had gained an additional trace of hatred.

This was the Love Gu placed upon him by the Jing girl he was to "wed."

A Love Gu is an extremely special insect; a Jing girl can only have one, and it needs to be cultivated with her flesh and blood, placed upon her beloved, living and dying with him, never to part.

Yan Wushuang knew that unless his wife was willing to sacrifice her life to undo the Love Gu.

Otherwise, he would never be able to separate from her in this lifetime!

"Yan Lang."

At that moment, a beautiful woman in a bright red wedding dress entered the room and softly said, "Are you ready? The parade of joy is already waiting outside."

This Jing girl gazed affectionately at Yan Wushuang’s profile, her eyes filled with endless joy and happiness.

She was precisely the eldest daughter of the Great Leader Jing Yue, Jing Yu.

When Jing Yu first saw Yan Wushuang, she was not yet of age.

Even then, she had deeply fallen for him.

And now, her wish had finally come true!

Yan Wushuang turned to take the slender hand of the Jing girl, smiling slightly: "Then let’s go out."

"Okay."

Jing Yu shyly, but sadly said, "It’s a pity neither of my sisters could witness our marriage."

Her eyes reddened, tears subtly glittering.

Yan Wushuang gently kissed her, saying: "If our sisters have spirits, they will surely be happy for us..."

Not really!

In fact, he had long been secretly involved with Jing Yue’s twin daughters, the Linglong Sisters.

If given a choice, Yan Wushuang would rather marry the sisters.

Sadly, the Linglong Sisters died at the hands of an enemy, and even their remains have not been found.

The wedding today with Jing Yu also carries elements of joy and blessing.

The Jing people’s leadership hopes this marriage will disperse the recent gloom and misfortune shrouded over Nanli Island.

Reuniting hearts and morale.

So even though it was somewhat rushed, it was exceptionally grand!

Hand in hand, the two left Caiyun Pavilion and boarded the joy cloud chariot waiting outside.

Joy parade, one of the ceremonial traditions unique to the Jing people.

In common families, during a wedding, the bride is usually carried by her brother, escorted by relatives and friends, to the groom’s house to bow in marriage.

This process is called joy parade, during which joy money is scattered among the people watching.

But for the Great Leader’s eldest daughter’s marriage, the standard was naturally different.

As Yan Wushuang was marrying into the family and was alone on Nanli Island, devoid of elders to conduct the ceremony.

The Great Leader Jing Yue arranged this unique joy parade.

One reason for following tradition, another for respecting Yan Wushuang’s dignity.

Not publicly announcing him as marrying into the family.

Though this news could not be hidden from everyone, it had already spread quietly.

The joy parade was half a li long, with a drum team and war dance team leading the way, hundreds of Companion Girls surrounding the cloud chariot, and behind them porters carrying boxes of betrothal gifts and dowry.

The procession departed from the Jing Clan’s Tulou, passing through tall building gates, reaching the city street outside the fortress.

At this moment, the streets on both sides were already filled with Jing people watching, all carrying bamboo baskets filled with petals and herb leaves, joyfully throwing them at the parade, as well as at the cloud chariot carrying the bride and groom.

Blessings, screams, and cheers intertwined.

Reaching the clouds!

Jing Yu and Yan Wushuang smiled and waved in response, while members of the parade threw handfuls of copper coins to the crowd.

Making the atmosphere even more fervent.

In the crowd, mysterious figures occasionally flashed.

These were the masters of the Jing Clan responsible for security.

In fact, at this time, Nanli Island, inside and out, was tightly sealed off, ensuring that no one could easily approach by land or water.

The joy parade marched down the long street.

According to the ceremony, today’s bride and groom will worship the Black Dragon God by the shore and present offerings.

Ten livestock and ten children! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

The Jing people have always worshiped the Black Dragon God, believing that only with the Black Dragon God’s protection can they be happy and safe.

Ordinary Jing people don’t qualify to worship the Black Dragon God during marriage.

Meanwhile, seated on the joy cloud chariot, Yan Wushuang felt his face stiff from smiling.

He was immensely frustrated, yet unable to express it, feeling truly stifled.

Perhaps this was his retribution!

This direct descendant of the Yan Clan suddenly had a thought.

In his mind simultaneously appeared beautiful faces—those were women whom Yan Wushuang once wronged.

One face in particular was exceptionally vivid!

At that moment, Yan Wushuang’s hairs all stood on end, feeling unprecedented fear.

In the next instant, a crimson glow suddenly shot forth from the crowd.

This scarlet light, as fast as lightning, crossed tens of steps.

Straight towards Yan Wushuang’s head!

Crack!

A Jade Pendant tied around Yan Wushuang’s waist suddenly shattered, enveloping him in a layer of shimmering aura.

However, the crimson glow pierced through this aura without hindrance.

Penetrating the head of this former prodigious talent!

Fluff!

The blood glow entered through his right temple, exited through the left, carrying a mist of blood along.

Yet, the blood glow didn’t diminish in momentum, proceeding to penetrate the defenseless Jing Yu’s head.

Like an Arrow Leaving the Bowstring, flying to the distance.
