Chapter 7 - 7: Wedding Feast-Old Cow Eats Tender Grass_1
At this moment, Ji Bingyu also noticed the scene that had just unfolded.
“My lord, was that man you mentioned earlier Liu Dong?”
Ji Bingyu sent a secret message.
“Yes.”
Zhou Sui did not hide: “This man was once a good friend of my father, but after my parents’ death, he often tried to force me to sell the house. If I had not stayed in Misty Cloud City, I probably would have already been harmed by him.”
“Hmph, you can’t judge a book by its cover. Despite being old friends, he dared to harm the son of his friend just for a house. Despicable!”
A hint of murderous intent appeared in Ji Bingyu’s beautiful eyes.
She was not a local cultivator of Misty Cloud City but had traveled tens of thousands of miles to come here. Elevating her cultivation to such a level, she was obviously not an ordinary female cultivator.
Cruel and ruthless, these were necessary qualities for a loose cultivator.
Without some power, it was impossible to cross tens of thousands of miles and arrive at Misty Cloud City unscathed.
The number of robbers she had killed was simply incalculable.
This Liu Dong dared to attack her husband; he was really courting death.
“Yu’er, don’t be angry. We cannot act rashly here in Misty Cloud City, otherwise we will definitely be punished by the city’s management,” Zhou Sui immediately advised, sensing the killing intent deep inside Ji Bingyu.
If they really attacked someone in Misty Cloud City, it would not be worth staying there anymore.
“Don’t worry. I am not a bloodthirsty cultivator. I am just angry about his despicable behavior. For such a villain, he might just ‘accidentally’ die one day in the wilderness.”
“Anyway, my lord, today is our big day. Don’t let such a petty man ruin our mood.”
Ji Bingyu giggled, implying that as a weak woman, she would never do something as terrifying as killing someone.
But in her heart, she had already made a decision. As soon as Liu Dong left the city, she would immediately take action to eliminate this potential threat.
“Okay.”
Zhou Sui nodded and temporarily put this matter aside.
After all, today was his big day. What was Liu Dong compared to it?
……
At this moment, the cultivators at the banquet each had their own thoughts. They looked at the handsome Zhou Sui and the beautiful Ji Bingyu with various feelings.
“I can’t believe it. I never expected that Zhou would get married at only eighteen and to a female cultivator at the ninth Qi cultivation layer. He indeed has a lot of luck.”
“Isn’t it? This female cultivator is beautiful and has high cultivation. I wonder what she sees in him. Could it be that he is strong and full of life? I’m so envious.”
“Why is there no beautiful female cultivator attracted to me? I am also quite good and have extraordinary talent.”
“Tsk tsk, keep blowing your own horn. Everybody knows your ability. You are already famous in the Willow Lane, nicknamed ‘Fortune Handing Boy’. You are the top customer who makes the most money every year, people on the street call you ‘Liu Three-Seconds’.”
“Bullshit, what three seconds, who was the bitch who spread this rumor?”
“Hehe, whether it’s a blessing or a curse, we still don’t know. Is this female cultivator really interested in him? I think she might be after his house. This is clearly an older woman preying on a young boy for both man and wealth.”
“Did she really? If that’s the case, isn’t Zhou in great danger? These female cultivators, who are like black widows, are proficient in using men for their powers. Zhou might soon be squeezed dry.”
The numerous cultivators were whispering to each other.
They all thought it was unusual that this female cultivator was attracted to Zhou Sui. After all, she was at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, just one step away from being a foundation establishment cultivator.
Such a powerful female cultivator could choose any man she wanted, yet she chose a minor cultivator who was at the first layer of Qi cultivation. If this is not harboring ulterior motives, then what is?
“When I saw the bond between that boy and his parents, I discreetly reminded him that this woman might have ulterior motives. I said he should be careful not to be fooled by a witch, and that he can’t handle a woman like this.
But do you know what he said? He said they were in love, love at first sight, a match made in heaven, that I should not sow discord.
Look at yourself in the mirror! Without a house to your name, do you think you would have caught the fancy of other female cultivators?”
One of the male cultivators was very angry. He thought he was doing the right thing as a neighbor by reminding Zhou, but he was accused of sowing discord, making him feel like a malicious person.
He thought that this was ungrateful, that good intentions were not appreciated.
“Hehe, a good guy can’t convince a doomed man. Compassion can’t save one who insists on dying. Zhou has brought this upon himself. We can’t do anything about it.”
“You’re right. You better watch out. If the female cultivator hears all this, you’ll have a hard time.”
“Right? Even if she is a witch, she is a cultivator at the ninth Qi cultivation layer. If she wants to deal with us, it’s just a matter of minutes.”
“Poor Zhou, in no time, he will be sucked dry by this witch.”
“There is nothing we can do. This is Zhou’s destiny. If he sold the house and hurried back to the human world, maybe he could survive. But insisting on staying in Misty Cloud City is asking for trouble.”
“Anyway, we’re not close to Zhou. We’re just his neighbors. It doesn’t have much to do with us.”
“Let’s have the wedding wine and leave. This witch is too dangerous.”
The cultivators were whispering to each other.
They all thought Zhou was doomed this time. Having caught the eye of an older female cultivator, he would surely be drained of his life force.
The chances of him surviving were slim.
……
“These bastards, they are really loose with their tongues.”
“An old cow eating tender grass? My sister is young, what tender grass is there to eat?”
From aside, Mu Ziyi also could hear these whispers and she instantly became extremely angry. After all, the bride was her sister who was being called a witch by all these cultivators–this was unbearable!
“Forget it. Today is a day of great celebration. We can’t cause a scene. Let them say what they want. After today, we won’t see them again.”
Xia Jingyan immediately dissuaded.
Frankly, she understood the cultivators’ feelings quite well.
If she was in their shoes and saw a woman at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation with a cultivator at the first layer, she would also think that the woman must have an ulterior motive. The man must have been considered her furnace by now.
But Ji Bingyu was her sister, whom she had known for many years. Naturally, she knew her sister’s character quite well. She was definitely not the kind of female cultivator who liked to drain men’s life force.
Both of them getting married was truly because of mutual love, at least on her sister’s side.
But she didn’t need to explain this to others. Even if she did, others wouldn’t believe it.
“What charm does this man have that my sister likes him so much?”
Xia Jingyan silently looked at Zhou Sui in the distance, full of curiosity. She did not understand why her outstanding sister, Ji Bingyu, would like such an ordinary man.
Could it really be like what the other cultivators said: This man looked plain, but he was vigorous, extraordinarily talented, and proficient in dual cultivation?
However, no matter how she felt, the wedding was still going on.
In no time at all, Zhou Sui and Ji Bingyu completed the ceremony, were sent to the bridal chamber, and the wedding banquet came to an end.
