My Arch-Nemesis Cried and Begged Me Not to Die 76

Chapter 76: Don’t you guys argue anymore! They are in love!

The wedding clothes for both of them were almost finished at the same time. The moment they bit off the needle and thread, they both suddenly hesitated.

For a couple of moments, they just looked at each other.

To propose handing over the wedding clothes to the other was equivalent to receiving their own wedding clothes from the other’s hands. Yan Jingyu was a little dazed for a moment. He was not sure what Liao Chen was thinking at this moment, but at this moment, an indescribable emotion suddenly welled up in his heart, making his throat choke slightly.

The breathing in the air was silent. Something on the chair seemed to be pulling them. Their hearts were already beating like thunder before the words could come out.

They seemed to suddenly be a little afraid to face what might happen in the next moment.

Liao Chen held the wedding clothes tightly and stood up first. “I’ll try it on for you first.”

Yan Jingyu’s breathing finally became smooth. He immediately stood up as well. “Why isn’t it me who tries it on for you first?”

“…” Liao Chen pursed his lips. Just as he stretched out his hand, Yan Jingyu reacted extremely quickly and showed a pair of scissors. “I win again.”

“…I’m asking you to give me the wedding clothes!!” Liao Chen spoke, his voice tinged with ice. Yan Jingyu came back to his senses, said “oh,” and raised his hand to throw the wedding clothes over. The two wedding clothes brushed past each other in the air, the red clothes reflecting the bright sky as they landed steadily in their master’s hands.

The clothes seemed to carry flames, and when they landed in his arms, it was like a branding iron.

The air once again fell into a brief silence, until the two of them, in unison, slowly covered their fronts with an invisible barrier, like frosted glass, blocking each other from seeing their own figures.

Yan Jingyu turned his back.

His divine sense spread in all directions, taking in the entire Yan estate. He saw the verdant wild forest and the towering treetops, and also the long corridor on the cliff and the floating small path. He saw Qi Mufang, who was focused on practicing his sword, and Ming Zelin, who was seriously cultivating on the side…

He looked at the sky, at the ground, but he did not look at Liao Chen, who was closest to him.

He didn’t know how long had passed. A voice suddenly came. “Yan Qi.”

The voice was low, with a hint of hoarseness, and also an imperceptible restraint.

Yan Jingyu finally took a deep breath, laughed at himself, and lifted the wedding clothes, draping them over his body.

The barrier, like melting profound ice, slowly dispersed in front of the two of them.

“Immortal Lord Yan and Demon Lord Liao are the best match in the world!!!”

He saw a cultivator in Hutian say this, his expression bitter, looking not at all willing.

“I heard that the Demon Realm has already sent out word that the wedding will be held at the Endless Sea. Aiya, isn’t the Endless Sea where they had their decisive battle back then?”

“Don’t mention the decisive battle or not.” Someone interjected, “That demon lord has even sent out an invitation order, saying that anyone with eyes must go to the Endless Sea to watch the ceremony. Isn’t it just that he’s becoming Daoist companions with the Immortal Lord? What’s there to be arrogant about?”

“That’s Immortal Lord Dufang!! His fame is far-reaching, and he has always been a model of the righteous path. How could he be so foolish as to look for Liao Chen?!”

“Be careful, be careful! Be careful that that demon lord comes to settle the score with you at night!”

“…Although it’s settling the score, at least he hasn’t hurt anyone’s life as he usually does. Perhaps it’s also because of the Immortal Lord’s enlightenment.”

“That’s right. At least he hasn’t hurt anyone’s life…”

“Pfft.” The moment the barrier disappeared, Yan Jingyu, who had deliberately sent out his divine sense to divert his attention, happened to hear these two sentences. Seeing the moved expressions on the faces of those cultivators, he really couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Although he had known long ago that a villain could become a Buddha by dropping his butcher’s knife, when he thought that the person they were talking about was Liao Chen, he still couldn’t help but laugh.

There was no sound in front of him. Yan Jingyu remembered what he was doing at this moment and couldn’t help but cough softly.

He looked up at Liao Chen, his expression slightly stunned.

He had never seen Liao Chen wear such bright clothes. His appearance was already sharp and handsome. In the past, wearing black only made him look dignified and majestic. Now, having changed into red clothes, his eyebrows, under the reflection of this red, showed a bit of extra radiant beauty, his appearance exceptional, making it difficult for one to move their gaze.

But Liao Chen had already walked straight towards him.

As Yan Jingyu was sizing him up, he was also sizing Yan Jingyu up. The clothes Yan Jingyu used to love to wear were mostly light-colored. After a hundred years, when they met again, they were also mostly white, gray, and blue. They were beautiful but not outstanding, as if he were deliberately hiding something.

The fabric they had chosen was extremely good, a very proper red. This outfit, on Liao Chen, looked unrestrained. On him, it was only pure and incomparable elegance.

Liao Chen’s breathing unconsciously slowed down.

Yan Jingyu’s eyelashes twitched slightly. For a moment, he was not sure what he wanted to do.

But he saw him suddenly raise his hand, and a myriad of rosy clouds flew out of the Qiankun Pouch, drilling into his wedding clothes like a brocade. Some bright pearls were dotted among them, and in an instant, this red was dotted with flowing splendor.

He had always remembered his seventeenth birthday. He wore a brocade white robe, the fabric crisp and exquisite. His high-tied ponytail was also braided with gold thread. On his jade crown were inlaid with brilliant pearls, and on his chest was a small golden lock. Among the countless immortal sect members who had come to admire his name, he had cupped his hands in greeting with a smile.

In the many years that followed, every time he saw a shining pearl, he would think of the one he had tied in his hair.

As if possessed, he had collected many large and small bright pearls, but had never thought that today, they would be dotted on his wedding clothes.

Before Yan Jingyu could stop him, he had already directly crushed all the bright pearls into fine powder, densely soaking into his wedding clothes.

The bright red wedding clothes immediately looked as if they had been soaked in a rosy mist, flashing with spiritual brilliance from different angles.

Yan Jingyu was helpless. “What a pity.”

“It’s not a pity.” Liao Chen said in a low voice. Yan Jingyu smiled. “The Yan Clan has been in ruins for many years. I don’t have much savings. I can only give you this.”

He flipped his palm and formed a seal. A thunderclap sounded in the sky, and a sizzling sound was heard. A wisp of thunder light, like a golden thread, drilled into Liao Chen’s wedding clothes, slowly spreading throughout his body, flowing slowly in a patch of crimson, very much like the golden mark in his double pupils after he had demonized.

“This is the Golden Silk Thunder Pattern.” Yan Jingyu withdrew his hand. “This is a wisp I have drawn down with the power of the Heavenly Dao. If in the future you…”

Liao Chen looked at him. Yan Jingyu said deliberately, “…do something that even the heavens can’t stand, you can use this thunder pattern to resist a blow from the Heavenly Dao.”

Liao Chen read his underlying meaning, and the corners of his lips lifted slightly. “If this Lord really does something unforgivable, is it still necessary to trouble the Heavenly Dao to personally come?”

Yan Jingyu snorted lightly, turned and was about to take off the wedding clothes. “Your character is so bad. Who knows if you will do something that angers heaven and men in the future.”

“It seems you have no objection to the wedding clothes this Lord has made.”

Yan Jingyu paused for a moment and suddenly looked at him, his voice dangerous. “The one I made, do you have any objection?”

In the past, it wasn’t as if there were no immortal and demonic Daoist companions in this world. But most of them had been hunted down by both sides, either dying without a whole corpse, or hiding their identities and escaping into the mortal world.

For someone like Liao Chen and Yan Jingyu, to be so open and aboveboard, to treat both the righteous and evil paths as nothing, and even to forcibly demand that everyone come to watch the ceremony, that could really be called unprecedented.

The mist of the Endless Sea had already been dispersed, and the sky was rarely clear.

The number of people who came was actually more than Liao Chen had imagined.

The invitation order he had sent out could only be sent to some famous immortal sects. In fact, with Yan Jingyu here, most people knew very well that even if they refused Liao Chen, they would definitely not have their sects annihilated.

Actually, the fact that these two had become Daoist companions was not entirely a bad thing for many people. After all, who didn’t know that Liao Chen had never been soft on the human race? The sects he had annihilated were countless, and the wronged souls who had died at his hands were even more numerous. Now that Immortal Lord Dufang was using his own body as a prisoner to tie down this evil ghost, everyone knew very well that this wedding was probably one that would have no successor.

So, most of the immortal sects were actually willing to come. It was just that being forced by Liao Chen made them seem to be helpless and more unyielding.

This was also why Yan Jingyu had not stopped Liao Chen from putting pressure on the crowd.

Liao Chen knew his reverse scale. Although the other did not believe him… but Yan Jingyu believed that he would not actively touch it.

“Aiya.” In the center of the Endless Sea, Qi Mufang looked at the demonic race on the side with a complicated mood. “I have imitated the Immortal Lord to exterminate demons and defend the Dao all my life. I never thought that in the end, I would have to watch him step into the demonic cave…”

“He’s stepping into the demonic cave?!” As soon as these words were spoken, before Ming Zelin could express his own opinion, An Long’s voice came from that side. He cursed, “Is it him stepping into the demonic cave, or is it a wolf entering a flock of sheep?! Don’t you immortal sects have any f*cking idea in your hearts?!”

Everyone was a person with clear divine sense. Hearing the Asura clan leader’s words, most of the immortal sects all looked over.

Not until this moment did they discover that the people of the demonic path also didn’t have any happy expressions at all…

It was still Qi Mufang who reacted first. “Our Immortal Lord is of immortal style and bone…”

“Our Demon Lord is wise and divine! To be with your Immortal Lord is clearly… what’s that saying? A fresh flower stuck in a pile of cow dung!” An Long spoke without thinking. The thought of Yan Jingyu having recovered his cultivation and going to be in and out of the Demon Palace frequently in the future made his scalp tingle.

The Demon Lord is also so muddle-headed. It’s one thing to learn from the human race and build a demon city. At that time, when he was a waste, it would have been fine to reluctantly take him as a palace consort… but Yan Jingyu has already recovered his cultivation!! Which string in his brain is wrong, to actually want to form a marriage contract with him! Isn’t he afraid that Yan Jingyu will blow up his soul-lamp one day??

As soon as An Long’s words were spoken, the faces of countless immortal sects also changed. Soon someone said, “Who on earth is the fresh flower and who is the cow dung? Our Immortal Lord Dufang has always been known as having the grace of a pine, the color of snow, and as bright as the moon. What is Liao Chen, to be worthy of forming a marriage contract with our Immortal Lord?”

“Our Demon Lord has the name of extraordinary beauty!!” An Long would not yield at all. As soon as these words were spoken, he was heavily struck in the lower back by Yu Qiuye. The countless eyes of the demonic race all looked at him. It was still Mo Ting who reacted first. Before the immortal sects could start to laugh, she said softly, “I see that the Immortal Lord is indeed of ice skin and jade bone, his body like a delicate orchid. It is understandable that the Demon Lord would fall for him. In any case, for Immortal Lord Dufang to be willing to ‘marry down’ to the Demonic Domain is our Demon Lord’s good fortune.”

The people of the demonic race were suddenly enlightened, and a hint of ill intent appeared in their eyes. Only Mo Xia was nodding vigorously, incomparably sincere and serious.

But the immortal sects soon broke out in curses. “You are indeed ‘down,’ but our Immortal Lord is by no means ‘marrying’! The cultivation world has never had the saying of ‘marrying and being married.’ Even for men and women, they just form a Three-Life Stone Pact. The so-called marriage contract is just adding a layer of a life-and-death pact. The demonic race is truly a group of uncivilized demons, to actually show off those secular rules here!”

The faces of the demonic race, An Long said with arrogance, “If Immortal Lord Dufang does not recognize ‘marrying,’ then how would our Demon Lord propose to ‘ask for his hand in marriage’?”

“Your Demon Lord is indeed ‘asking’!” Qi Mufang finally found an opportunity to speak, his voice like a great bell, cheering on his own side. “Others may not know, but I have seen with my own eyes that that demon lord Liao Chen goes to the Yan estate every day to find my master. May I ask, everyone, does your Demon Lord take the initiative to find my master more, or does my master go to your Demon Realm more?!”

“Hahaha.” Someone from the immortal sects soon laughed out loud, pressing on with the victory. “I didn’t expect that Liao Chen was so fierce to our Immortal Lord before. It turns out he had long since fallen for him. Before, when the Immortal Lord was in a difficult situation, he deliberately trapped him in the Demon Palace and invited all the immortal physicians to treat him. It seems that at that time, he was already actively showing his goodwill. Don’t you all think so!”

“That’s right!” an immortal physician said boldly. “At that time, we were all captured by him, and we did indeed see with our own eyes that he did not hesitate to go to the chaotic netherworld to find the Purple Flame Fruit for the sake of saving the Immortal Lord, and also went to the ancient ruins to steal the Exquisite Ginseng. As everyone knows, both the chaotic qi and the afterimages of the war of the gods could have scattered his soul. But he still went without hesitation. Everyone, tell me, if this isn’t love, what is it?!”

“Our Demon Lord went because he was sure he could!” The demonic race was also unwilling to yield, but seemed a little flustered and exasperated, until Yu Qiuye interjected, “As everyone knows, Yan Jingyu has now recovered his cultivation and has even grasped the laws of the Heavenly Mandate, and has been promoted to a divine quality. If all of this were just our Demon Lord’s one-sided wish, could it be that Yan Jingyu is now being forced? Is your Immortal Lord so useless? He can’t even say a single ‘no’?!”

Seeing that the argument around them was getting more and more fierce, Ming Zelin looked at this side, then at that side, a little worried that they would start fighting.

Once they start fighting, if there are any deaths or injuries, then the Immortal Lord and the Demon Lord will surely have a conflict. If the Immortal Lord and that demon lord have a conflict, then wouldn’t I definitely be assigned to that devil alone…

“They are in love!!!” He raised his hand high, and in Qi Mufang’s incredible gaze, he said loudly, “Have you all forgotten about the matter of Immortal Lord Yan overturning the thirty-six rules with a single sword? Have you all forgotten that for a period of time, everyone’s minds were very chaotic, and they couldn’t remember who Liao Chen was at all? That was because he was hidden by the rules for the sake of saving the Immortal Lord. And the Immortal Lord destroyed the rules, allowing everyone to be free from ignorance and to see the vastness of the Great Dao. The primary reason was because of Liao Chen!!”

“So don’t you guys argue anymore!!” He had just drawn in spiritual energy and had to use a sound transmission talisman, shouting, “The Immortal Lord and the Demon Lord are simply in love!!!”
