Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the skies above the capital of Tianqing Kingdom, fireworks exploded one after another, the sound of salute cannons thundering.

The entire capital was bedecked with lights and decorations, brimming with a festive atmosphere from top to bottom.

"Martial King of the Nation's grand wedding, everything in our store is half off!"

"Come take a look! Our store has the very room the Martial King and his wife once stayed in, just a hundred taels of Silver for a visit..."

"Martial King's hearty hairstyle, only ten taels..."

On the newly refurbished Vermilion Bird Avenue, hundreds of lavish carriages swept grandly by, bearing precious gifts. Leading the procession were the royally dressed Imperial Guards, with Xiao Yi riding on a tall steed followed by a gold, festively decorated carriage.

The carriage was pulled by eight beasts comparable to the Golden Core Realm, an impressive and majestic sight.

Inside the carriage.

Fang Qingzhu, dressed in a red wedding gown and wearing a red veil, nervously clutched Lin Bingxin's hand and said in a low voice, "Bingxin, I... I'm a bit nervous..."

Lin Bingxin was startled for a moment, then gently patted the back of her hand and smiled, "You and Xiao Yi have been husband and wife for a while now, what's there to be nervous about?"

"It's not the same..."

Fang Qingzhu shook her head, "During our previous wedding ceremony, Xiao Yi was unconscious throughout, and I was like a walking corpse. Moreover, the Fang Family looked down on Xiao Yi, so everything was kept simple, but now..."

The wedding held previously at the Fang Family was one in which Xiao Yi was continuously unconscious.

And Fang Qingzhu...

Her most vivid memory was being on the wedding ceremony where someone from the Xiao Family descended to strip her of her cultivation.

How could she remember any details of the wedding?

Fang Qingzhu said, "Bingxin, do you know? When I married Xiao Yi, I was truly in despair, to the extent that I wanted to kill him. Because of him, my cultivation was destroyed, because of him, I received cold looks from my family... I never thought that I would fall in love with him so hopelessly..."

Lin Bingxin asked curiously, "When did you start falling in love with him?" Discover hidden stories at empire

"It was probably when he rushed into the Zhang Family's dungeon and rescued me! In my most desperate moment, Xiao Yi appeared before me like a god descending from the heavens..." Fang Qingzhu murmured softly.

As she recounted the past, she also gradually relaxed.

Listening to their story piece by piece, Lin Bingxin felt a bittersweet pain in her heart: "It's because you've experienced so much together that you could truly fall in love with each other! Just like me..."

The image of being locked up in a dungeon, with Xiao Yi coming to her rescue, surfaced in her mind.

That moment with Xiao Yi...

Wasn't he also like a god descending in her eyes?

"Huh? Like who?" Fang Qingzhu was startled and asked.

Lin Bingxin quickly said, "No, I was just saying I'm really envious of you!"

"Heehee, Bingxin, you will meet that person too!" Fang Qingzhu said sweetly.

Lin Bingxin managed a forced smile.

Before long...

The procession had entered the royal palace and arrived at the grand hall.

This wedding was held inside the royal palace, an unprecedented honor, yet everyone present understood that Xiao Yi deserved this honor. Just by being the Martial King of the Nation, it was clear how important he was to Tianqing Kingdom.

Inside the grand hall, lanterns and streamers adorned the space, with guests filling the seats.

Gu Junhe and Jiang Weisheng, representing the families of the bride and groom, sat in high seats at the front.

Jiang Tai was in charge of all arrangements.

Jiang Tianchen personally presided over the wedding, loudly announcing, "Let us welcome the bride and groom!"

Xiao Yi, holding Fang Qingzhu's hand, walked into the grand hall.

"Truly a match of talents and grace!"

"Worthy of the Martial King, such bearing... only Miss Qingzhu is fitting for him!"

The crowd murmured one after another.

Jiang Tianchen declared loudly, "Bride and groom... kneel to heaven and earth..."

"Second bow to the high hall…"

"Husband and wife bow to each other…"

Xiao Yi and Fang Qingzhu faced each other, ready to perform the ceremony.

But just at that moment…

With a loud clang.

Ten cold iron chests landed at the entrance of the hall, and blood-cloaked figures burst through the air, led by none other than Xue Mantian. His hands had been frozen by Fang Qingzhu; after returning, they could not be treated and had to be amputated.

Now, the handless Xue Mantian seemed even more sinister and venomous.

"Xue Mantian?"

"He, how did he get here?"

"It's over, it's over, this must be Xue Yilou seeking revenge… I knew it, how could offending Xue Yilou end so easily…"

Inside the entire hall, everyone wore a cautious expression.

Xiao Yi held Fang Qingzhu's hand tightly, his eyes squinting at Xue Mantian, "Xue Mantian, what are you here for?"

"Hehe, your grand wedding, Xiao Yi, how could I be absent?"

Xue Mantian smiled sinisterly, glanced at a Xue Yilou assassin beside him, and several went to the front of the ten iron chests, Xue Mantian's face filled with malice as he said, "Inside these, are the congratulatory gifts I prepared for you two, congratulations on your joyous wedding!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

One by one, the chests were opened, and the pungent smell of blood instantly enveloped the entire hall.

Hisss!

Everyone inhaled sharply.

"This, these are human heads?"

"Wow… how many people did this take to kill? My heavens…"

Each iron chest was filled with bloody human heads, each more horrific than the last, with gouged eyes, cut ears, and pulled out tongues; their deaths were incredibly gruesome.

Xiao Yi's pupils suddenly constricted: "Is it them?"

Lin Bingxin and others turned deathly pale.

The chests contained heads from Nanhuang City, those who had past interactions with Xiao Yi.

Lord Sikong, the entire Zhao Family…

The heads of all the people in Nanhuang City who had been friendly with Xiao Yi were all present.

Xue Mantian smirked, "How about that? Do you like my gifts? To prepare this congratulatory gift for you, I dispatched five hundred elite assassins to Nanhuang City, hastening over day and night. Each head, freshly warm…"

Giggle!

Xiao Yi's fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned pale, his eyes instantly filled with bloodshot fury.

Rage!

His anger surged to the heavens!

Grinding his teeth, Xiao Yi said word by word, "They never provoked you…"

"But you provoked me! I said those who offend me don't end well, you must die, your family must die, your friends must die, everyone related to you must die!"

Xue Mantian's ferocious yell interrupted Xiao Yi, laughing cruelly, "These are just the beginning. Next, I will cleanse the capital city with blood, even the entire Tianqing Kingdom. I will make the billions of souls in the Tianqing Kingdom my war pets, as a burial for my arms…"

"Madmen, everyone in Xue Yilou is a madman!"

"Xue, we have nothing to do with Xiao Yi, you can't involve us…"

"Xiao Yi, you reek of evil, bringing calamity upon the people of Tianqing Kingdom. We've long found you displeasing. Today, as Xue seeks to rid you like a tumor, we shall fully support Xue in this endeavor…"

"Xiao Yi must be executed, to return Tianqing Kingdom to its clear skies…"

For a moment,

there were nearly half of the guests who stood on Xue Mantian's side, turned against Xiao Yi, and pointed fingers…
