C56 Whose Wedding
Devil Realm seemed to have an important person about to get married.
After Qing Bai was stabbed by the ancient divine sword, he was brought back to the Devil Realm by Ting Ao to recuperate from his injuries. Lian Cheng gathered all kinds of rare and precious medicinal herbs, but they would only be able to hang on to a trace of Qing Bai's true qi. He stayed by Qing Bai's bedside, and only woke up after drinking dozens of medicines for a month.
Qing Bai's Spiritual Force seemed to have been sucked dry by someone, and he couldn't even move a single step. He was extremely weak, and Lian Cheng treated him like his own doll. Lian Cheng tirelessly dressed him up, measured his clothes, bathed and tied his hair, and when he was in high spirits, he had to change into several outer robes a day.
"It's not like I'm getting married, why would I do such a thing?" Qing Bai was very dissatisfied.
Recently, Qing Bai had been tightly tied up by Lian Cheng. His outer robe, underwear, boots, sword, hair, and fan were all made according to the ancient methods of the Devil Realm. Every day, he bathed and fasted regularly. Every few days, he had to abstain from food, which made Qing Bai even more exhausted.
Now that his injuries had yet to heal, he felt that the wound he had been stabbed with was empty, as if the big hole was still there, sucking his Spiritual Force like a black hole, and he couldn't be bothered to play with Lian Cheng at all.
Lian Cheng's reply was vague: "Yes, he is a very important person, and according to the rules, everyone in the Demonic Hall has to dress up and congratulate him."
"Then can't you let me return to the Mortal Realm? Why do you have to participate in this great man's ceremony?" Qing Bai didn't mind.
"How can this be? Brother's life depends on the Devil Realm..." Lian Cheng suddenly stopped and continued, "There are still unique things here. It will be very dangerous to leave this place rashly."
If it was any other time, Qing Bai would definitely be able to hear that there was something wrong with Lian Cheng's words, but his wounds were hurting and buzzing, so he couldn't think about anything.
Lian Cheng turned his head and was about to comb his hair, but he saw that Qing Bai's face was pale and his eyes were closed as if he was sleeping. Lian Cheng was unwilling to call him, so he gently helped him lie down so that he could sleep more peacefully.
"You can't come in!" Sensing that someone was approaching, Lian Cheng quickly sent a private message to order that person.
Lian Cheng's tone was not very good, but Ting Ao was not angry. He stopped at the door and asked carefully, "How, how is he?"
Lian Cheng sighed and said, "I didn't expect the sword to be so powerful. All the medicine I gave him could only replenish a mouthful of his True Qi."
"How is he..." Just as Ting Ao was about to push open the door, Lian Cheng hurriedly covered Qing Bai with the silkworm blanket beside him and said in a panic, "Are you crazy? Don't you know that if we see him now, all that we have done will be in vain?"
Ting Ao stood at the door without saying anything. It was a long time before Lian Cheng heard the rustling sound of someone leaving. At this moment, Qing Bai just woke up. He felt a tall red figure leave the door, and his left eye kept twitching.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Lian Cheng asked nervously.
Qing Bai shook his head. Right now, his body was uncomfortable everywhere, but what was lingering in his heart was a very bad premonition.
"Is Ting Ao getting married?" Qing Bai asked.
Lian Cheng stammered and did not say a word.
If that was really the case, Qing Bai felt that it was strange. How could there be a second big shot in the Devil Realm who could make tens of thousands of people congratulate him and follow the ancient law? The reason why he was being tormented was probably because Ting Ao still remembered that he was his master and wanted him to attend his wedding.
The ancient Demon God was born from the heaven and earth, and no one could be his parents. The only one who could be called an elder was his master.
Qing Bai had still underestimated the influence of Bai Ling. The fact that she could injure him to such an extent and even follow him to the Devil Realm showed how capable she was. He had yet to find a reason why Ting Ao hadn't come to visit him.
Perhaps the Devil Realm was busy with things, perhaps he had gone to find rare medicines in the seven realms, or perhaps the people of Celestial Realm were chasing after him and making things difficult for him. How could he have thought that he would marry a beauty and spend the rest of his life with her?
Qing Bai thought of the charming appearance and exquisite figure of the Hundred Spirits and thought to himself, This is also quite good. Beauties and heroes have always been like this since ancient times.
Sensing Qing Bai's low spirits, Lian Cheng wanted to say a thousand words, but he hesitated and swallowed them back down.
The hole in the Demonic Hall was getting bigger and bigger. Inside lived a person who couldn't even see the city for ten thousand years. He didn't know what kind of deal Ting Ao had with that person, nor did he know what the consequences would be if Ting Ao forcefully opened the ancient Demon God's barrier. He only knew that after the wedding, Qing Bai's injuries would completely recover, and that was enough.
As the day of the wedding approached, the Demonic Hall naturally became lively. The people who came and went were all demons, and even Qing Bai's room had been changed. It was dazzling red.
Qing Bai's head hurt even more, and he felt waves of pain. Lian Cheng, who was by his side, felt extremely sorry for him, but he still had to remind him about the relevant matters.
"Big brother, remember, when someone comes to pick you up, do whatever they want. Big brother will do it. You must not refuse. It's best if you don't talk to them." When Lian Cheng saw that Qing Bai was frowning, he quickly rubbed his forehead and said, "There will be a sedan chair to pick up big brother. When big brother arrives, he is even more forbidden to talk to Ting Ao. If... If that Miss Bai Ling asks big brother anything, big brother will not answer."
What could Bai Ling ask him? As long as she didn't come up and give Qing Bai another stab, he would be thankful.
Even Qing Bai, who had been instructed by Lian Cheng, remembered it. As long as he did not talk to anyone, he would be fine. Lian Cheng also taught him a lot of complicated etiquette that day, kowtowing to his position, and paying attention to the depth of his drinking.
On the day of the wedding.
Lian Cheng had told Qing Bai not to talk to anyone, but in fact, he didn't need to, because the person who came to pick Qing Bai up was not... People.
Each of them was like a small Godzilla in a Ultraman movie. They were gray, strange, and very tough. Not only did they change their clothes and tie their hair forcefully, but they also found themselves smelly. They stripped off all their clothes and put them on a big rock to smoke. They made a strange smell and put them on Qing Bai again.
Qing Bai didn't have the strength to resist them, so he just let them be. When they arrived at the main hall in the palanquin, the He Qing's wedding was truly terrifying.
The vast expanse of darkness was filled with all kinds of demons, and his palanquin was actually in the middle of them. When the palanquin stopped, Qing Bai could feel countless curious gazes on him, and he couldn't help but shrink back.
At the very least, he was a Taoist Priest Qing of the White Cloud Abbey. If he did anything that would make the demons unhappy and cause them to kill him, with his current appearance of not having any Spiritual Force, he would definitely be at a disadvantage when fighting.
As Qing Bai was thinking, someone lifted the curtain of the palanquin and reached in.
It was clearly the hand of an ordinary man, but Qing Bai immediately called out the name of the owner of the hand: "Ting Ao."
Then, Qing Bai saw the smile on Ting Ao's face that made his cheeks burn. "En, Master, don't be afraid. I'm here."
