Chapter 1049: Chapter 134: Beauty as Always, Reunion

"It’s really quite grand!" Mu Qingge said with a faint smile.

Her demeanor actually made Li Chao feel somewhat uneasy. It was his first time seeing someone so openly and confidently come to the Divine Emperor’s territory to snatch the Emperor’s woman.

Li Chao glanced at Mu Qingge’s back, unable to fathom what she intended to do.

Disrupting the Purple Light God Emperor’s wedding—can it really change the situation?

Isn’t she just ensuring she’ll be hunted more fiercely?

"Young Divine Emperor!" A familiar voice pulled Mu Qingge’s attention back.

Her gaze shifted slightly, looking at the man approaching her.

Yin Ping.

Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows, surprised that he was one of those responsible for hosting today’s event.

"Young Divine Emperor, you’re here. Your seat is over there; shall I take you?" Yin Ping said, smiling obsequiously as he stood before Mu Qingge.

He seemed convinced of Mu Qingge’s position or perhaps unsure of the Purple Light God Emperor’s attitude towards her, thus always currying favor with Mu Qingge.

Mu Qingge nodded, not rejecting his offer.

Yin Ping promptly led Mu Qingge and her group to their seats.

Previously, the person who delivered the invitation mentioned that the wedding was a minor affair within the domain, without inviting any outsiders. Their attendance was purely coincidental, being ’guests’ in the Purple Light Domain; thus, inside the grand hall, the gathering consisted only of disciples from the Purple Light Domain, with not a single outsider to be seen.

Mu Qingge and the few people from the Huan Yue Domain were arranged at a conspicuous spot within the hall.

This so-called conspicuous spot was close to the Divine Emperor’s Throne, and positioned relatively high.

Five long tables were placed there, evidently one per person. The table in the front was positioned closest, signifying a different status.

Naturally, it belonged to Mu Qingge, the Young Divine Emperor of Huan Yue.

"Young Divine Emperor, please have a seat." Yin Ping said with a smile, also inviting the other four, "Everyone, please sit as well."

Once all five of them were seated, Yin Ping amiably smiled at Mu Qingge, "Young Divine Emperor, if you have any orders, feel free to ask me."

Mu Qingge lightly nodded and looked at him to inquire, "Who’s attending the banquet today?"

Yin Ping immediately replied, "Apart from you and the others, everyone else are disciples from the domain. Oh, and there are a few managers from Purple Forest Island."

He pointed to the seats below, introducing them to Mu Qingge one by one. "Those are the Palace Disciples from our Purple Light Domain, and those sitting in the last seats, conversing with each other, are the managers from Purple Forest Island."

After listening to his introduction, Mu Qingge suddenly remembered, the Purple Light Domain had not established a Young Divine Emperor.

Furthermore, it seems since the current Purple Light God Emperor came to power, the matter of establishing a Young Divine Emperor has never been mentioned. Through Yin Ping’s introduction, Mu Qingge roughly understood and genuinely realized that there were indeed no outsiders attending the wedding.

At this point, Zhuang Shan asked, "The Purple Light God Emperor’s wedding is a major event. Why not invite other Divine Domains?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked this, Yin Ping ambiguously smiled. Fortunately, he did not act too presumptuous and quickly restrained himself.

Looking around, confirming no one noticed them, he then explained in a low voice, "This is already the two hundred and ninetieth wedding of our God Emperor. How could people from other Divine Domains come again? Our God Emperor is too lazy to host them; he says it’s a wedding, but it’s merely an announcement. Prevent anyone in the domain with no awareness from coveting the God Emperor’s woman."

"Two... two hundred and ninety times!"

The four were shocked.

Especially Xuan Qiang, whose eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of disgust.

"Cough cough, well, Young Divine Emperor, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first." Yin Ping awkwardly smiled and wisely withdrew.

After all, gossiping about the God Emperor under his own roof requires some courage.

"This Purple Light God Emperor is truly a lecher." After Yin Ping left, Xuan Qiang couldn’t help but say.

Though she practiced the Heartless Path, it did not mean she could accept such a licentious lifestyle.

"Old Seventh, watch your words." Li Chao reminded her.

Xuan Qiang pursed her lips, lowered her voice, "At this point, I do agree with Old Third on disrupting the nuptials."

Mu Qingge turned her gaze to her, teasing, "Old Seventh is righteous in speaking up."

Xuan Qiang glanced at her, said nothing more, her gaze dropping, her features cold as ice, expressionless.

The five continued their quiet conversation, while across other occupied seats, they occasionally felt eyes on them. This was something they naturally sensed, yet they were uninterested in responding.

Mu Qingge scanned with her gaze, spotting Yao Xinghai’s figure in a corner of the hall.

He hid himself in the corner, unnoticed, and when Mu Qingge looked over, their eyes briefly met in mid-air. Just like that, both subtly avoided contact.

"Divine Emperor arrives—Stand—!"

Suddenly, someone called out loudly.

The hall instantly quieted down, everyone stood up in a formal welcome for the Purple Light God Emperor.

Mu Qingge and the other four followed suit, standing up with the rest, but their faces lacked the reverent expressions seen on others.

Upon the Divine Emperor’s Throne, a light descended, and immediately, everyone in the hall felt an oppressive force blanket over them, inducing a compulsion to kneel and bow their heads.

Those belonging to the Purple Light Domain naturally followed suit, but only Mu Qingge and her group remained upright, not lowering their heads even slightly.

The light converged, and atop the Divine Emperor’s Throne appeared a figure clad in purple—it was the Purple Light God Emperor.

Today was his celebratory occasion, yet his attire remained unchanged from the usual. Clearly, he had long grown accustomed to today’s event, finding nothing special about it.

"Sit." The Purple Light God Emperor arrogantly flicked his sleeves, his manner proud.

He looked at Mu Qingge, his gaze still cold, seeming to question, ’After today, you should give this emperor an answer.’

Mu Qingge smiled slightly, dismissing him.

At that moment, another voice arose, "Invite the bride to enter the hall for the sealing—!"

Everyone turned to look outside the hall, including Mu Qingge and Yao Xinghai.

Outside, five figures emerged. Among them, a woman in a red bridal gown adorned with splendid headpieces, extraordinarily beautiful, her body stiff, her expression revealing pain and despair, lacking any joy.

On either side of her, four maids each held a thin rope, the other end of which was tied to Xi Qianxue’s wrists and ankles.

"The bride is truly beautiful!"

"Indeed, she is a rare beauty. The God Emperor is truly fortunate!"

"Such a beauty could only be enjoyed by the God Emperor."

Exclamations and praises echoed all around, while Mu Qingge’s eyes narrowed, noticing the four ropes, ’It’s Puppetry Technique in use to control her!’
