Never Marry a Man With Two Tintins-Chapter 70
Chapter 70
Cheng Nuo stood at the window and looked at the snowy scene outside, emptying his mind and thinking about nothing.
He knew that although Bai Rui was a man of few words and there were many things left unsaid, he always did what he said he’d do. Since Bai Rui said he would send him away on the day of the wedding, he would definitely do it.
In the middle of the night, Bai Rui really appeared and handed Cheng Nuo a set of attendant clothing. A man with long black hair stood beside him. Cheng Nuo did not say a word, put on the set of clothes and took the disguise pills to change the appearance of his hair color, while the black-haired man put on his clothes and lay on the bed.
Bai Rui calmly said: “You follow me out of the city to meet the bride. The departure route has been arranged. When you return, a dark guard will take you away.”
Cheng Nuo listened in a daze, trying to hide his the emotions, followed behind Bai Rui and walked out.
After two more hours, several attendants came in to dress Bai Rui and change into the red wedding dress.
Bai Rui sat straight like a statue. Cheng Nuo hid behind the screen and looked at Bai Rui’s back, watching the attendants take care of the beautiful long silver hair, wondering what it was like.
The pair of golden eyes in the bronze mirror looked in his direction accurately, and when the four eyes met, his heart jumped heavily and he hurriedly avoided his gaze awkwardly.
At dawn, Cheng Nuo stood behind Bai Rui like those attendants, and followed the huge team to a station twenty miles away from Snow City to greet the young Lord’s future wife.
The magical beast traveled very fast and arrived at the destination in less than half an hour. The Gu family’s procession was already waiting there.
Cheng Nuo couldn’t help but look at the luxurious and wide wedding carriage, with layers of white gauze on it, and vaguely saw a person sitting inside, but he couldn’t see his appearance clearly.
Bai Rui jumped down from the magical beast and slowly walked forward under the eyes of the crowd. In accordance with the etiquette of Snow City, Bai Rui had to hold the future bride down, and then ride with him on a magical beast in front of the procession. Thinking of his own ominous wedding some time ago, Cheng Nuo could only secretly smile bitterly. Bai Rui got married twice in such a short time, so what is his mood?
The attendant came forward to slowly unveil the white gauze curtain on the carriage, revealing the Gu family’s eldest son, An Chen, inside.
Cheng Nuo held his breath and looked over. From the appearance point of view, he was a very outstanding young man. He had a pair of very dazzling red eyes. His long snow-like white hair was not pulled up but fell on his shoulders plainly.
The personnel of both processions cheered loudly, and there was a loud sound of firecrackers. Cheng Nuo stared blankly, not knowing where he was for a while, not reacting until a hand pulled at his sleeve.
The other party was an unassuming young man. Cheng Nuo knew that he was the one Bai Rui sent to meet him. He gritted his teeth and glanced at Bai Rui for the last time, and followed him away from the noisy crowd. This guard’s ability was to hide, and their departure did not attract anyone’s attention.
It wasn’t until he left the welcoming procession far away and walked to a forest that the dark guard stopped and took out a magical beast bag from his waist. A huge bird-like magical beast immediately flew out of it. It was actually exactly the same as Bai Mu’s, but it was a little smaller in size.
The dark guard explained: “This subordinate’s name is Yi Yi. This is a level seven flying beast Bi Feng*. If you ride on it, no magical beast can catch up with it. This subordinate will escort the young master to Liaoji City. The young Lord hopes that the young master will leave that place after finding the person you are looking for, so as to avoid future troubles. As a precaution, we will go around the sealed land and leave.”
(* Bi Feng [毕风] seems to be the name of the species? At first I thought it was an actual name, but later it is mentioned that Bai Mu and Bai Rui also have Bi Feng’s, so unless all three beasts are named the same, it’s safe to assume that Bi Feng is the name of the species lol.)
Cheng Nuo nodded and jumped on the Bi Feng without saying a word. Yi Yi also jumped up. The Bi Feng’s two snow-white wings flapped, and quickly rose into the air, flying high above the clouds.
The cold air suddenly hit but except for his face, Cheng Nuo didn’t feel cold. He was slightly surprised, and quickly checked the suit on his body, only to find that there was an interlayer in the fabric, and inside was a set of protective clothing refined from fire-based energy stones.
His throat suddenly choked up. Cheng Nuo knew that this must have been made by Bai Rui himself.
What I owe Bai Rui, I’m afraid I won’t be able to pay it back in the next life!
On the other side, the cheering crowd had calmed down, and everyone showed expressions of astonishment and confusion on their faces.
The moment Bai Rui stretched out his hand and An Chen held it, Bai Rui slammed him away with his sleeve. An Chen leaped high and landed behind, and the wedding car was split into pieces.
“What is the meaning of this?” Bai Rui narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just in the moment when the two touched each other, An Chen almost put a Gu insect on him.
With an unchanged expression on his face, An Chen released his contracted magical beast, an earth snake, and jumped up, smiling: “Young Lord, go back and tell Bai Mu that Laozi will only marry him.”
The huge earth snake opened its mouth to swallow him, taking him to dive under the hard and cold snow.
Everyone looked at each other, and the head steward of the Gu family was sweating profusely. While panicking, he sent someone back to report the news, and stepped forward to apologize to Bai Rui.
This incident was also completely unexpected to Bai Rui. For this son of the Gu family, he actually didn’t even see clearly whether it was flat or square*. But the ending now was not bad.
(* 这件事也是完全在白睿的意料之外，对于这位蛊家公子，他其实连是扁是方都没看清楚: no idea what mtl is trying to convey here, specifically the 是扁是方 part.)
He looked in a certain direction in a daze, jumped on the magical beast and said: “Return to the city.”
The news had long since spread back to Snow City and naturally everyone was shocked.
The wedding ceremony would be held soon, but the young master was repented of his marriage, which was more than a great shame to describe.
The parents and sons of the Bai family gathered in the main hall, only Bai Zhi secretly gloated in his heart. In his heart, Bai Rui was of course not qualified to be the young Lord.
Bai Jintian held his chin with his hand, and said lazily: “Five years ago, I arranged a betrothal in the name of the young Lord. Rui’er left for eight years. A few years ago, it was indeed rumored that Mu’er was going to ascend to the position of young Lord. I didn’t know that An Chen had such a mind for Mu’er.”
Bai Mu stood up and said blankly: “It’s this son’s fault, please punish me father.”
Bai Jintian smiled and said, “It’s not your fault, but this has delayed Rui’er’s coming of age and ascension ceremony.”
Bai Rui’s face was indifferent, and he didn’t answer when he heard this, still staying out of the matter.
“Don’t worry, sixth brother, I’ll chase him back.” Bai Mu glanced at Bai Rui, and his gaze seemed to have deep meaning.
Bai Jintian nodded and said, “Good, this matter will be left to Mu’er to handle. The relationship with the Gu family must be handled well. Rui’er’s coming of age ceremony, let’s postpone it until tomorrow.”
Several people bowed and dispersed. Bai Rui watched Bai Mu release his flying beast into the air, but his heart skipped a beat. Bai Mu traveled not in the direction of the Gu family, but rather… the sealed land.
Cheng Nuo and Yi Yi were close to the sealed land. He felt that there was no need to make such a detour, as it would take five or six more days to get to Liaoji City. Bai Rui was already married and ready to take over the position of the young Lord; those family members of Bai Rui should not be so concerned about this small “concubine”, right? But since this was Bai Rui’s arrangement, he would not object.
Looking down from above, there was a vast expanse of white snow and ice everywhere, only the endless sealed land was gray, and nothing could be seen clearly. Each sect of Liaoji City had its own forbidden areas. Cheng Nuo guessed that this place was most likely the forbidden area of Snow City or something like that.
The speed of this Bi Feng was indeed quite fast, constantly surpassing other flying beasts in the sky, not inferior to Bai Mu’s. Cheng Nuo looked the snowy peaks and glaciers constantly flying past him, and his heart couldn’t help feeling disappointed.
After traveling around the sealed land almost non-stop for a day and a night, Cheng Nuo was a little overwhelmed. He was still lying on the back of the beast to rest, and the dark guard who escorted him was sitting in front, but he almost never rested.
He said to Yi Yi: “You rest, I will watch the road.”
Yi Yi said without hesitation: “Escorting the young master is the task given to me by the young Lord.”
Cheng Nuo laughed, “Even so, there are still nearly 20 days to go before we reach Liaoji City, you can’t stay awake all the time, can you?”
Yi Yi was taken aback, finally lay down to rest for an hour, and soon sat up again.
By the second day, he could already faintly see the edge of the sealed land. Cheng Nuo exhaled. The surface of this sealed land looked gray and, somehow, it gave him a very uncomfortable feeling.
Yi Yi handed him the food in the storage bag and said, “Young master, please.”
It was jerky meat and some pastries. Cheng Nuo sat with his back to the wind and chewed it in his mouth. Yi Yi threw some jerky meat to Bi Feng again. Bi Feng naturally slowed down while eating and flying.
Cheng Nuo’s lips were exposed to the outside and froze; he didn’t taste half of what he ate. He sat with his legs stretched carelessly, and when he saw two small dots in the distance, one after the other, his pupils suddenly shrank, and someone flew over here at a speed no less than theirs!
He quickly transferred elemental energy into his eyes, and the distant scenery suddenly became much closer, and finally he recognized the two people. Bai Mu was in the front, and Bai Rui was behind him!
Cheng Nuo was stunned and puzzled, and his heart also jumped wildly. Why did Bai Rui, who had just gotten married, and Bai Mu appear here? It was reasonable to say that Bai Mu had no reason to capture him now ah…
Yi Yi also noticed the abnormality and immediately drove Bi Feng to fly faster. But this Bi Feng was carrying two people and it was also younger in age, so after all, it was still approached a little bit by the two people behind him.
Cheng Nuo crouched on Bi Feng’s back and shouted, “Stop, the young Lord is here too.”
Yi Yi didn’t stop, but he explained: “The young Lord said not to stop under any circumstances, and that the subordinate must fight to the death to safely send the young master to Liaoji City.”
Cheng Nuo was taken aback, and slowly turned his head to look back. Bai Mu twisted his head and seemed to say something to Bai Rui behind him, and then the two of them fought together.
Cheng Nuo’s heart suddenly shrank. Currently Bai Rui was not yet Bai Mu’s opponent… If Bai Rui was injured again because of himself…
Bai Rui seemed to be injured and his figure shook on the flying beast, but Bai Mu still didn’t stop attacking at all.
Cheng Nuo couldn’t stand it anymore. He gritted his teeth and pierced Yi Yi’s sleeping acupoint with a thin needle hidden in his fingers, then drove Bi Feng back and stopped more than ten meters away from the two of them.
Bai Rui clenched his teeth and his palm collided against Bai Mu’s. He jumped up, landed in front of Cheng Nuo, and whispered, “Stupid, what are you doing back?”
Cheng Nuo was taken aback. When he was a child, Bai Rui said “stupid” many times, but this was the first time he heard it since growing up…
For some unknown reason, although it was obviously a tense moment, he couldn’t help but chuckle: “Aren’t you just newly married? What are you doing here? If I don’t come back, I’m afraid you will be killed by your eldest brother.”
Bai Rui was taken aback and turned his face to look at him. His eyes were deep, and his emotions could not be seen at all.
Bai Mu stood quietly on the beast with his hands clasped and said coldly: “Go back after talking. You have delayed your coming of age ceremony, and this person must be taken back.”
His eyes were as cold as ice, as if he were facing an unreasonable child, with a bit of impatience.
Bai Rui turned his head and said firmly: “Let him go, and I will naturally go back immediately.”
Bai Mu stopped talking, and the palm, which condensed water energy, had already moved towards them.
Bai Rui quickly gathered light energy into a barrier to block it and shot several light arrows at Bai Mu. He pulled Cheng Nuo to jump on the other Bi Feng, turned around, and flew towards the top of the sealed land.
Bai Mu was slightly angry in his heart, and quickly followed up after crushing the light arrows. Falling into the sealed land was a certain death. There were countless devouring vortexes in the sky. Was Bai Rui threatening him so that he was afraid of making a taboo move?
In the originally empty and silent air, at intervals, black holes would suddenly appear, like countless deep bottomless mouths. Cheng Nuo was alarmed and shouted, “What are these things?”
Bai Rui sat behind him, looked around vigilantly and said, “Devouring vortex.”
Bi Feng was very alert, nimbly moving up and down to avoid those black holes. Cheng Nuo’s heart went up and down, He hadn’t seen these damn things outside just now! It seemed that this sealed land was indeed very evil.
However, with these obstacles, the distance between them and Bai Mu had increased a little. Cheng Nuo looked at Yi Yi on the Bi Feng outside with some guilt, hoping that the Bi Feng would take him back…
“Stop!” Bai Mu shouted from behind, “Bai Rui, do you want to leave Snow City again?”
Bai Rui said indifferently: “I’m afraid eldest brother doesn’t want me to stay.”
After hearing these words, Bai Mu’s face became extremely cold, and he shouted, “Bai Rui, if you don’t stop, I will kill that cheap slave. The Bai family must never step into the sealed land. Have you forgotten this ancestral principle!?”
Bai Rui didn’t answer, but approached Cheng Nuo’s ear and said, “Why did you come back, aren’t you afraid that you won’t be able to leave in the future?”
The meaning of this sentence was unclear. Cheng Nuo looked back in a daze and said, “What?”
Bai Rui’s lips touched his forehead, and he whispered, “Because then, I wouldn’t be able to let go.”
The gentle touch was fleeting, and Cheng Nuo was in a trance for a while. When he recovered, Bai Rui had already jumped to Bai Mu and fought together, while Bi Feng flew away with him.
The two huge forces collided, and the surrounding air seemed to shake. A stream of blood overflowed from the corner of Bai Mu’s mouth, but Bai Rui turned pale and started to fall down.
Cheng Nuo’s pupils shrank, and he easily turned Bi Feng around and shouted, “Bai Rui!”
Bi Feng was also very eager to save its master and lunged forward with Cheng Nuo like lightning towards the unconscious Bai Rui.
Bai Mu was shocked that he was suppressed by the blow just now and couldn’t move. He was afraid that Bai Rui’s perfectly inherited ancient BingLi race bloodline had come into play!
People of the ancient BingLi race would gradually begin to develop their abilities after the age of fifteen, but Bai Rui had actually awakened now. It was really bad!
He quickly drove the Bi Feng to fly down and wanted to catch Bai Rui, but it was too late. He could only watch him be swallowed up by the gray mist, his heart cold.
He watched Cheng Nuo rush in with him, gritting his teeth and pulling the Bi Feng’s mount. Let that cheap slave be buried with him!
