World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1669 - 739: Rakshasa Storm!

Lanling looked at Yin Ji and said with a smile, "Then I’ll marry you!"

After saying this, he stepped forward, gently took the dagger from her hand, and set it aside.

"Do we not need any guests for the wedding ceremony?" Lanling asked.

"No need, it’s enough with just the two of us," Yin Ji said. "Did you really not suspect me at all? Then why did you check my room, probe my mental realm, and leave no corner of my study untouched?"

Lanling said, "There might be a traitor by my side, but it’s not you."

"Who is it?" Yin Ji asked.

"I don’t know," Lanling said.

"Why do you know there’s a traitor?" Yin Ji asked.

Indeed, how did Lanling know there was a traitor?

"Because someone poisoned me, around the same time you fell ill," Lanling said.

Yin Ji’s expression changed immediately, "Are you okay?"

"Of course not, I’m immune to all poisons," Lanling said. "I’ve already had the Mirror Demon King monitor everyone in Flame Demon City, but still couldn’t find the traitor."

Yin Ji asked, "What kind of poison did that traitor use on you?"

"I don’t know..." Lanling said.

Previously, Meng Tuoluo had poisoned Lanling with the Black Hole poison during the Wedding Dance Festival, but the Little Rakshasa King swapped it out, so Lanling was completely unaware of it.

Meanwhile, someone else had also poisoned Lanling, and the Little Rakshasa King didn’t know, so he couldn’t stop it either.

Yin Ji asked, "You don’t know what kind of poison, then how do you know you were poisoned?"

Lanling said, "The Mirror Demon King told me, saying someone had used a very mysterious poison on me. But they didn’t expect me to have the defiant Golden Bloodline, so it was completely ineffective on me."

Yin Ji asked, "Could it be Sisi, her origins are mysterious."

Lanling shook his head, "No, after entering Flame Demon City, the Mirror Demon King and I immediately monitored her mental brain domain, it’s not her..."

"Then who could it possibly be?" Yin Ji asked. "We must root out this traitor; otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable."

Lanling said, "Inside Flame Demon City, the Mirror Demon King constantly monitors everyone’s mental realm. And all our secrets are within Flame Demon City, so no secrets will be leaked."

Then, Lanling said, "Alright, now that everything is clear, are you still willing to marry me?"

Yin Ji nodded.

Then she pulled Lanling outside the courtyard and said, "Shall we kneel facing the moon?"

On the moon resides Lanling’s greatest enemy, is it really appropriate to kneel before the moon?

However, the sun symbolizes yang, and the moon symbolizes yin.

Yin Ji’s parents were dead, and her brother too, so she wanted to speak to the moon and let the moon convey it to her parents and brother.

"Father, Mother, Brother, your little Yin is getting married."

"This man doesn’t love me that much, and he’s also a bastard, but I really have no other choice."

Lanling knelt beside her, awkwardly touching his nose. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"At least, I quite love him. Many people say that marrying someone who loves you is better than marrying someone you love. It’s very true, but I can’t do it."

"After the wedding, I don’t know if I will be happy. But please, Father, Mother, Brother, bless me with happiness."

"I hope that in this man’s heart beside me, there’s a small, small corner that belongs to me."

"Let’s bow..." Yin Ji said to Lanling.

Then the two of them kowtowed three times in the direction of the moon.

And so they were wed, pledging to be together for life.

...

"Why did you compromise?" Lanling asked, "You were playing love games with me before, weren’t you?"

"I was playing with myself," Yin Ji said. "You never had the heart, nor the time to play with me."

Lanling said, "You’re so proud, why are you willing to compromise? Humiliating yourself, marrying a bastard like me?"

"I... I’m too lonely..." Yin Ji said. "Even though my work is very busy, I always feel out of place with everything around me. Before you, I was very lonely, but I could still arrogantly enjoy that loneliness. With a condescending attitude, I looked down on the unenlightened Rakshasa Tribespeople in the Ankara Tribe. But once I developed feelings, without any response, loneliness turned into solitude and torment."

Lanling listened to her words and said, "I’m sorry."

Yin Ji said, "If I had family and friends in the Human Kingdom, if I liked you and you didn’t like me as much, I would certainly stay far away from you, never to cross paths again. But... here I’m all alone, nowhere to go. I don’t even have the courage to die, so I can only compromise and sell myself to you. I think even a little cat or dog, after being together for a long time, would develop feelings, let alone me, a living person. Even if it’s pet-like affection, it gives me a bit of safety."

"I’m sorry..." Lanling said again, "Can I say one thing?"

"Yeah!" Yin Ji said.

Lanling said, "You women who’ve read too much all have this common problem, you’re all pretentious! Meng Tuoluo is beyond saving, while you’re still in your adolescent phase of cutely being pretentious. If you feel lonely and isolated, won’t you look for Dina, or Ali to play with? They are the kindest women, after all. Or do you find their wisdom lacking? Let me tell you, kind people have their own glints of wisdom, so don’t look down on them, thinking you’re on a higher level. And when Princess Sha Yan came, your relationship with her was also cold, neither of you paid attention to the other, as you’re both of noble birth, full of wisdom and intelligence, yet you ignored each other. You looked down on those with lower status, feeling you had no common language. Those with higher status, you felt hostile towards them and even colder. I ask you, isn’t this pretentious?"
