Chapter 1831 - The Wedding Day
Dragon-Marked War God
The Wedding Day
In the heart of Exquisite Paradise was an exquisite courtyard. It was precisely where the laughter was coming from.
A round table extravagantly made of jade was placed at the centre of the courtyard. The delightful Dragon Shisan, who was wearing a red robe, was at the table, with Lan Lingji sitting close to him. This couple was dressed in their wedding attire.
None of the people sitting around the couple was a stranger. These people were Han Yan, Tyrant, Yang Bufan, Yang Lang, Mo Wuqing, and Grandmaster Hao Ran, all of whom were deeply acquainted with Jiang Chen. Today, all of them had gathered together because of Dragon Shisanâs wedding tomorrow. The only one missing at the table was Jiang Chen.
Han Yan and Tyrant were both invited by Dragon Shisan. Knowing that this was the most important day of Dragon Shisan, they felt compelled to come despite the far distance. The wedding would only take place once in everyoneâs lifetime. As such, being the brother of Dragon Shisan, they could never miss it.
âMonkey, you donât look like a human at all in that dress.â Tyrant mocked.
âTyrant, why are the words of the monks so unpleasant to hear? No wonder you canât find a wife. You know, I would supposedly wear this attire only tomorrow, but you guys forced me to wear it today, making as though the wedding ceremony is happening today.â
Dragon Shisan constantly stroke his clothes while speaking. Judging from his fondness towards his attire, it didnât seem like he was forced to wear the wedding attire at all.
âMonkey, you sure are lucky to find such a beautiful wife, considering the fact that you have just leaped out from the rock not long ago.â Han Yan spoke with a hint of irritation.
âOf course, because Master Monkey is just too handsome. If the few of you have a tenth of my looks, you would have found your concubines long ago.â
Dragon Shisan spoke boastfully. A person like him couldnât be praised, otherwise he would become the greatest narcissist in the world. Of course, this was because Big Yellow wasnât present.
As soon as Dragon Shisanâs voice trailed away, a jade-like hand fell on his ear.
âAh-ah, ouch! Let goâ¦â¦.â
âWhat did you just say? Concubines? Looks like you are going to cheat on me.â The jade-like hand naturally belonged to Lan Lingji.
âI dare not, I dare not. I was only bragging. Let go of my ear quickly. Give me some face, will you?â Dragon Shisan pleaded. It seemed there was also a price to pay for boasting.
âHahaâ¦â¦â
A burst of laughter filled the air. It seemed even the unruly Dragon Shisan had an unbeatable rival. He instantly became docile as soon as Lan Lingji acted.
Lan Lingji also laughed merrily, while Dragon Shisan seemed pretty frustrated. Unlike from the past, it seemed like he would have to pay a price every time he boasted from now on.
âUnfortunately Little Chen and Big Yellow arenât here. Itâs wouldâve been so lively if they are with us,â said Yang Bufan.
All along, Jiang Chen had been the backbone of these group of people. Although they were all having a fun time, their laughter were filled with slight regret. After all, two of their sworn brothers werenât with them.
âIf he doesnât appear tomorrow, Iâm going to get even with him the next time I see him. How dare he not show up on Master Monkeyâs big day!â
Dragon Shisan blurted. His eyes couldnât help but look at a far distance. He was really hoping that Jiang Chen would show up as tomorrow was the most important day of his life. It would be incomplete if his most important brother wasnât present on his most important day.
âJiang Chen may have important things to attend to.â Lan Lingji consoled, knowing how important Jiang Chen was to Dragon Shisan.
âI have a feeling that Little Chen will show up tomorrow. Monkey, donât worry about it. We have known Little Chen for a very long time. He always appears at the most critical moment.â Tyrant added. They all knew what Dragon Shisan was feeling right now.
âItâs okay. Even if he doesnât come. He can make up for it next time.â Dragon Shisan smiled.
âBy the way, Monkey, you seem to have been at war against the Immortal Court during this period of time. I heard that some peerless genius of the Immortal Court is on his way to fight you,â said Yang Lang.
âThatâs correct. His name is Qi Jin, whose cultivation base has already reached the horrifying late Immortal Venerable realm. A figure like him is almost invincible to anyone below the half-step Sovereign realm. Although you are powerful, your cultivation base is only at the peak of half-step Immortal Venerable realm. Iâm afraid that there is no chance of you winning if you face him.â Yang Bufan spoke with concern.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
After all, Dragon Shisan had declared that he was going to kill all the geniuses of the Immortal Court. If Qi Jin really come to challenge Dragon Shisan, Dragon Shisan had no choice but to face Qi Jin. And with Dragon Shisanâs current cultivation, the odds would be heavily against him in battle.
âIt isnât a concern. Letâs not talk about this now. Tomorrow is my wedding day. We can talk about it after tomorrow.â
Dragon Shisanâs face seemed as confident as before, as though no expert in the world could stir him.
âAs far as I know, Qi Jin has already appeared yesterday, but he hasnât come directly for you. If Iâm not mistaken, itâs highly likely that he will strike tomorrow, so that he can mess up your wedding day,â said Yang Bufan.
âHumph! Iâll make anyone who tries to ruin my wedding pay a terrible price!â
Dragon Shisan harrumphed coldly. He didnât care who the incomer was. Anyone who dared to spoil his most important day wasnât going to end up well.
Just as everyone was in the midst of drinking and chatting, a man walked into the courtyard seeming to be flustered. He wasnât a stranger. He was Shan Chong, a genius on par with Yang Lang. They were surprised to see him here as he had been in seclusion in the Genius Prefecture.
âShan Chong, whatâs going on?â
Yang Bufan asked. Judging from Shan Chongâs flustered look, it wasnât hard to tell that something had happened in Genius Prefecture. This something surely wouldnât be a small thing or else Shan Chong wouldnât be in such a panic.
âKing Fan, something has happened in Genius Prefecture.â
Shan Chong continued, âA monstrous devil has appeared in that forbidden land of Genius Prefecture. It has thrown the whole Genius Prefecture into chaos. Even the Emperor and the Old Emperor canât suppress him.â
âNot good. The Heaven Devouring Devil Ape.â
Yang Bufan rose to his feet abruptly, his facial expression changed greatly. Jiang Chen had told him about this ape, but because knowing the ape had been imprisoned by the ancestor of Yang Family, Yang Junlong, and it would be impossible for the ape to escape, he didnât take it seriously and had long forgotten this matter. He didnât expect that the monstrous ape would break past its imprisonment one day.
