Chapter 21: The Meng family has a marriage planned. Oh no, another female-oriented drama is on!
What was once the Eastern Wilderness is now the Soaring World.
The Imperial City of the Great Yong Dynasty.
The imperial city was adorned with red decorations for miles around, and the whole city was filled with joy and excitement. Every household had the character "喜" (happiness) pasted on their doors and hung red lanterns, creating a festive atmosphere. Long strips of red cloth were scattered everywhere in the streets and alleys, making it extremely joyous.
A wedding procession as long as a dragon stretched from the west of the city to the east, with silver coins scattered along the street. The extravagance caused a scramble among the residents, who rushed to grab the money. Those who missed out followed behind the procession, waiting for the next wave of lucky money.
This scene shocked some people who had just arrived in the capital, and they couldn't help but ask the people who had found the money.
"Brother, whose wedding procession is this? It's so extravagant! I've been watching for a while, and the silver being scattered must amount to at least ten thousand taels!"
"You must be from out of town. Today's wedding is being carried by the Meng family, the most prestigious family in the Great Yong Dynasty. How could they not be arrogant and domineering?"
"Hiss~ The Meng family! No wonder they're so incredibly wealthy. But whose daughter is she that the Meng family has taken a liking to?"
"She's just a woman from a small family, but she has a special constitution, which is why the Meng family took a liking to her. I heard that the Meng family paid a considerable price to win her over."
"Alas, I heard that this woman was not married for the sake of a member of the Meng family, but for an old ancestor of the Meng family. My brother's wife's mother's son's nephew's nephew works for the Meng family. He said that the old ancestor of the Meng family will be returning soon, and the Meng family has specially prepared a top-grade furnace for that old ancestor."
"What! The Meng family made such a big fuss not because the young master was getting married, but because they were preparing a furnace for the ancestor. That woman is so pitiful..."
Exclamations and whispers occasionally rose up and reached Meng Chen's ears.
Looking at the endless wedding procession, Meng Chen's imperial eyes remained indifferent. He took a step forward, and though the distance seemed insignificant, his figure appeared at the Meng family residence.
At this moment, the Meng family was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the house was full of guests, all of whom were representatives of the Dayong Dynasty and other dynasties. Even members of the Dayong royal family could not be seated in the top ten.
The Meng family is not only the number one family in the Great Yong Dynasty, but also the number one family within a radius of millions of miles.
The clan not only has Dao-Slaying Kings, but also Saint Ancestors, and has intricate connections with a supreme lineage. Its power is so great that it ranks among the top 100 even in the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness.
"Brother Meng, I heard that your ancestor will soon return from the starry sky. Congratulations!"
"Brother Meng, this crystal jade cup is a supreme treasure that I obtained by chance. On this joyous occasion, I would like to present it to you as a congratulatory gift."
"Brother Meng, it's been many days. Your aura is even more profound now. You must be close to the Myriad Laws Realm. This Unity Pill was refined by Master Gu. It can increase the chance of breaking through to the Myriad Laws Realm by 30%. I wish you a speedy breakthrough!"
"Brother Meng..."
In the front hall, Meng Tianhe, the fifth-generation head of the Meng family, was greeting the guests. His smile never stopped. He kept saying that it was too much trouble, but his hands were busy receiving gifts.
"Father, the guests have almost all arrived, and the bride will be here soon."
Meng Tianhe's eldest son, Meng Qingyun, came over and whispered something in his ear. Meng Tianhe nodded and then asked Meng Qingyun to lead a guest to his seat.
A moment later, the main gate of the Meng family opened wide, and the bride, dressed in a red wedding gown, was carried into the Meng family home. However, none of the guests paid any attention to the bride.
Outsiders thought the Meng family was arranging a marriage for their young master, but that's exactly what the passerby who broke the news said.
The Meng family married this woman with a special physique to present to their ancestor, who was about to return from the stars, as a top-grade furnace cauldron.
The guests envied the Meng family, which was already extremely powerful, and now an invincible ancestor who traversed the starry sky was about to return. It couldn't be more awesome!
"Father, is it true that an ancestor of our Meng family is about to return from the stars?"
Meng Qingyun asked Meng Tianhe in a low voice, "How come he didn't know that our family had an ancestor in the starry sky?"
Meng Tianhe pulled Meng Qingyun to a side hall. Although he seemed to be speaking softly, the weakest among those present were all cultivators at the Divine Power Realm, with sharp ears and eyes, and they all heard him.
"Qingyun, it's normal that you don't know. I only found out after I became the head of the family. That ancestor was the elder brother of the first head of the Meng family. More than six hundred years ago, he went to the starry sky to seek a higher realm."
"Not long ago, the ancestors received a message from that great ancestor, so they used the clan's sacred artifacts to rush to the starry sky and left a message saying that they would bring the great ancestor back in a short time."
"At that time, my Meng family will rise again and reach a new peak. It will not be a problem for us to even move into the ancestral temple."
When Meng Tianhe mentioned the ancestral temple, his eyes were filled with fervor.
Many years ago, the Meng family submitted to the ancestral court, and it was the pseudo-Yang who led them to submit.
They even launched a siege against the descendants of the Sun God Cult. If it weren't for the fact that they shared the same bloodline as Meng Chen and the Emperor's Curse hadn't ignored them, they would have been killed by the Emperor's Curse long ago.
That's why Meng Chen chose to come here personally to eliminate the Meng family.
The guests were shocked and envious upon hearing the conversation between the Meng father and son. They also longed to have an ancestor who could invite them to join the ancestral temple!
"The auspicious hour has arrived, the bride is entering!"
A loud announcement rang out, and the bride, supported by her maid, entered the wedding hall. At the same time, an unremarkable figure blended into the crowd of guests watching outside the hall.
Inside the wedding hall, Meng Tianhe, acting as the master of ceremonies, smiled broadly. He had someone bring over a memorial tablet engraved with "The Great Ancestor of the Meng Family," clearly intending for the bride to bow to the tablet.
When Meng Chen saw the memorial tablet, he frowned slightly but did not make a move. This was because he sensed a fluctuation of fortune.
An emperor's fortune is eternally stable; even the slightest fluctuation in his fortune is a significant event.
He wanted to see what was so special about this wedding; could it possibly trigger a female-oriented storyline?
Inside the wedding hall, upon seeing that the Meng family had brought out a memorial tablet for her to marry, Chu Youwei suddenly lifted her red veil, revealing a pretty face that was both pure and alluring, her face flushed with anger.
"What does your Meng family mean by this? You're coercing my Chu family into marrying me, and now you're making me bow to a memorial tablet? Isn't that incredibly humiliating?"
Chu Youwei's sudden attack caused Meng Tianhe's expression to change slightly, anger flashing in his eyes, and he let out a cold snort.
"Chu Youwei, what do you mean? Your Chu family offered to marry you into the Meng family to curry favor with us, and even accepted a huge dowry from us. How is it that our Meng family forced you?"
"Ha... Your Meng family is powerful, who dares to disobey you? If my Chu family does not submit to your Meng family, I'm afraid we will be wiped out again. I can tolerate your Meng family's coercion, but why does your Meng family humiliate me again and again, forcing me to marry a memorial tablet? Even if I, Chu Youwei, die today, I will not do such an immoral thing."
Chu Youwei roared, tears streaming down her face, a sound that pained many who heard it.
At the same time, Lin Fan, who was in the crowd, could no longer hold back. He suddenly jumped out, landed next to Chu Youwei, and angrily said:
"Youwei, don't be afraid, I'll take you away. Even if the Great Emperor were here today, he wouldn't be able to stop us!"
