Chapter 313 The Devil Appeared

As the Hare ate, it suddenly felt a familiar aura that was slowly floating out of Hua’s Mansion. It was startled at once. But as it concentrated on sensing that again, the aura disappeared.
“Am I hallucinating?” the Hare said, puzzled.
It had almost recovered its strength. And the body of a hare was the best to absorb the anima energy of the heaven and the earth. So it wasn’t going to show its true body. It would do that only when its strength was fully recovered.
Today was the wedding day of Yun Shimo and Hua Qiyue. Initially, the Hare was delighted. But the “illusion” right now damped its spirits. It put the unfinished chicken leg on the table with a thud, jumped off the table, and ran to Hua’s Mansion.
Yun Shimo raised his eyebrows at the sight of the shadow of the Hare. The Hare would not have left but for an emergency.
At this very moment.
Ji Jing was staying in Hua Qiyue’s wing-room with a lot of noble ladies, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was quite lively.
“Sister Qiyue, you’ll be Princess Nan soon. Remember to take good care of us!” Ji Jing said with a wide smile.
Her heart was filled with admiration. Hua Qiyue married the greatest man—Yun Shimo, in the world, the one she had dreamed of.
“Yeah, Your Highness always has good fortune. You must be high-spirited after marrying Prince Nan. You’ll still have to keep in contact with us.” Other noble ladies also followed suit. Although some of them were not pleased deep in their hearts, they still ingratiated themselves with her shamelessly to get benefits.
Even the Emperor came to attend Hua Qiyue’s wedding. Thus, everyone knew that her position was incomparable to any courtier.
Besides, she was the only Empress who had divorced the Emperor. This matter would become a joke if it were to spread to other countries, but Hua Qiyue’s strength made countless people terror-stricken.
Hua Qiyue replied indifferently. When the auspicious time was near, these noble ladies left sensibly, leaving Ji Jing, the two matrons of honor, Lv Xin, and Youshui beside her.
“Sister Qiyue, remember to keep in contact with us more often in the future… My brother and I have decided to live in the capital, but we may go back to our hometown in a year,” Ji Jing said with a smile.
She gently touched the phoenix coronet on Hua Qiyue’s head, and it made a jingling sound at once.
“Of course, I will. May you find the right man as soon as possible and marry him.” Hua Qiyue smiled. “Having someone around you puts you in a much better mood. It’s great to have someone to lean on for everything.”
“Bah, I do not know where my right man is! You’d better stop laughing at me, sister!”
Thinking of the handsome man with silver hair, Ji Jing chuckled, but her heart was full of bitterness.
Hua Qiyue smiled and patted her calmly on the shoulder. “Jing’er, if he’s yours, he’s yours; if he’s not yours, he’s not yours.”
Hearing that, Ji Jing looked puzzled. But on second thought, she fell silent.
Yes, she could not get someone who didn’t belong to her. Just as she had loved Yun Shimo, yet how could such a man be hers?
While they were talking, the Hare came. It shouted as it came in, “Hey, girl, is there any change in your green jade gourd?”
Looking at the suddenly appeared Hare, Hua Qiyue couldn’t help reaching out to touch the green jade gourd on her waist. “It hasn’t changed. What’s the matter?”
She had forgotten the fact that she had felt fits of heat from it. After all, she had a lot to do on her big day. So, she could not recall too much at once.
Besides, she didn’t take what had happened last night to heart.
“Show it to me!” The Hare held out one of its paws and looked grave.
Looking at its dignified eyes, Hua Qiyue gave it the green jade gourd on her waist.
The Hare took the green jade gourd and scrutinized it but could not find anything wrong.
“What’s wrong? What happened?”
Hua Qiyue looked at the somewhat anxious Hare in puzzlement and had a vague premonition. After all, during this period, Tianpi seemed to be very cold. And he didn’t play and laugh with her as he used to.
Hua Qiyue could feel the change in Tianpi.
“I just felt Tianpi’s aura,” the Hare said gravely.
“It’s impossible. I don’t feel a thing.” Hua Qiyue paused for a while and instantly shook her head firmly. “Even if he did come out, there’s no way he would hurt me.”
The Hare sneered and held the green jade gourd in one of its paws. “Girl, don’t trust him too much. He is, after all, the Heaven and Earth Devil. Once he comes out, the people on the Tianyuan Continent will suffer greatly!”
Hua Qiyue puckered her lips slightly. Though both the Hare and Yun Shimo did not believe Tianpi, Tianpi was Hua Qiyue’s benefactor, who enabled her to be reborn. In any case, she had some faith in him.
After all, he had never hurt her.
“Sister Qiyue, the Hare is right. You’d better be on your guard.”
Ji Jing thought for a moment and found that the Hare had a look of exceptional gravity. Under normal circumstances, this heartless Hare could not have such a look.
Hua Qiyue fell silent. At this moment, one matron of honor coughed and said, “Princess, the auspicious time is coming. We’d better get ready quickly.”
Hua Qiyue nodded. “Hare, take away the green jade gourd, and then you will feel at ease.”
The Hare snorted, “You don’t have to tell me that. I’m leaving.”
Then the Hare disappeared in a moment.
The two matrons of honor put the phoenix coronet on Hua Qiyue’s head and began to sort out the things they were going to take with them.
The auspicious time was drawing near. Hua Qiyue heard the beating of drums and gongs. The mere sound of these instruments filled her with excitement and warmth. She had waited for today so long and gone through so many trials and hardships.
——————
Yun Shimo rode on a pure black horse, dressed in a red wedding robe, and his handsome face made countless people crowd the streets to look at him.
Countless maids and married women sighed or blushed, gazing melancholily at the procession fetching the bride marching slowly.
Such an exceptional man was not theirs.
Sitting on the back of the horse and looking at the slowly approaching Hua’s Mansion, Yun Shimo could not help curving his lips slightly, and his face was suffused with a carmine.
The following process went smoothly. After a series of complicated etiquette, the bride—Hua Qiyue, finally ascended the sedan chair. Along the way, some people kept setting off firecrackers. The scene was exciting.
Huangfu Shenglin sent the bride to the groom himself. To outsiders, he had wholly lost his dignity when Hua Qiyue gave him a letter announcing the divorce. But at this point, he did not care about the opinions of others and silently escorted Hua Qiyue to Prince Nan’s Mansion.
Hua Qiyue was the first one on the Tianyuan Continent who had the Emperor sent her to the groom!
The halo on Hua Qiyue grew brighter.
Sitting in the bridal sedan chair, Hua Qiyue clearly felt that it stopped. The deafening sound of firecrackers and the melodious festival music rang out continuously.
“Kick the sedan chair, groom!” Someone shouted at the top of his lungs. Hua Qiyue almost laughed, but she held back her laughter.
Hua Qiyue sat in the sedan chair quietly. There was a lot of noise around, but she just waited for the guy to kick the sedan chair.
Bang—
There was a kick at the sedan chair. Hua Qiyue covered her mouth gently, and a smile crept over her eyebrows.
After three kicks, Yun Shimo carried Hua Qiyue out. Cheers broke out all around. Hua Qiyue could see nothing but a jubilant glow before her eyes. But somehow, her heart suddenly skipped a beat!
She was in a trance. She only felt that the aura was too much like Tianpi’s.
But the next second, she felt nothing.
In the lobby, Yun Xuan and Madame Yun sat at the top of the lobby. On the square table were the auspicious symbols of the wedding, and the giant candles as thick as a child’s arm were sizzling and burning.
One matron of honor held Hua Qiyue’s arm and whispered in her ear, “Princess, you only need to listen to the master of ceremonies when you perform the formal wedding ceremony.”
Hua Qiyue made no response. At this moment, she could feel the most familiar aura a hundred miles away—Tianpi!
The Hare had taken the green jade gourd away and should be a hundred miles away right now. But it was no use cause Hua Qiyue still clearly felt the fluctuations of Tianpi’s aura!
What on earth did that mean? Was he coming out soon?
Hua Qiyue felt nothing but vexation, without rhyme or reason.
The two matrons of honor made the bride and groom stand facing each other. The master of ceremonies elongated his voice, “First, bow to the heaven and the earth.”
Hua Qiyue suddenly withdrew her thought. One matron of honor gave her a silent push. Yun Shimo turned back. They together bowed to heaven and earth outside the gate.
“Second, bow to the parents!”
They both turned around and bowed cordially to the older couple of the Yun Family sitting at the table.
“Husband and wife bow to each other!”
After the voice died away, they would conduct the last bow. Most important of all, if that were done, they would be a couple since then.
At this moment.
Ji Feng smiled broadly, and his eyes were full of blessings.
Huangfu Shenglin sat on one side, his face calm, and his emotions complex.
Huangfu Xuan stared intently at the two people’s blurred figures, and his heart was almost broken.
Far away, a man was playing chess, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat. “Young master, what’s the matter?” whispered the old man who was playing chess with him.
The man shook his head and said, “Somehow, I suddenly feel tightness in the chest.”
“You’ve been in the mountains for too long, young master. Why don’t you go outside?”
The man just smiled and did not reply. He always had that feeling, but he thought it might be physical.
Inside Spirit Heaven City, a silver-haired man was playing the flute, and the sound of it was like crying.
At this very moment…
Hua Qiyue and Yun Shimo were about to bow to each other.
Boom—
There was a loud bang, and something made a big hole in the roof. Everyone was struck dumb. Yun Shimo was quick. He pushed his palm upward and lifted the roof that was about to fall!
The crowd screamed, and Prince Nan’s Mansion was a mess. Everyone thought that Yun Shimo’s opponent was coming. They all ducked aside, afraid that they would get hurt in the fight between the two.
Huangfu Shenglin and the others were Qi Artist, after all, so they just stepped back a little. Hua Qiyue’s headcover, however, was blown away by a gust of wind.
The matrons of honor screamed for it was extremely ominous that the headcover of the bride was lifted before she had entered the bridal chamber!
On the roof of the lobby was a big hole. When the crowd looked up, they could see a bright moon, and that the dust was swept away by the fierce wind.
They were panic-stricken. They wondered how mighty the destroyer was for the person actually turned the ruins of the roof into dust.
When the dust was swept up, they finally saw a man dressed in red. He floated coldly in midair, and then landed slowly!
“Tianpi, you devil. You’ve shown your true colors at last!” The Hare had shapeshifted itself into a handsome man wearing black clothes and appeared at Hua Qiyue’s side suddenly.
