Chapter 644: The Demon Queen's Wedding Ceremony
On the day of Xiao Yaohou's wedding, before dawn, Yaohuang City was already bustling with activity. Countless demon emperor troops, clad in golden armor and red battle robes, stood imposingly at every corner of the city. Above, various powerful profound beasts, rarely seen in ordinary times and some even only known in legends, soared through the sky. On the back of each profound beast stood a profound practitioner radiating an immensely powerful aura. No unusual movement in Yaohuang City could escape their spiritual perception.
Along the red carpet that almost covered the entire city, young maidens dressed in colorful long skirts stood gracefully, holding flowers in their hands. Their robes fluttered in the breeze, creating a dazzling and beautiful scene.
Although the wedding ceremony was still several hours away, nobles and overlords who had come from various regions to offer congratulations had already arrived early at the Yaohuang Grand Hall, waiting with eager anticipation. The wedding ceremony of the Little Demon Emperor and Xiao Yaohou a hundred years ago was still vivid in people's memories. A hundred years had passed, and times had changed. Now, Xiao Yaohou, with her incomparably formidable strength, single-handedly held the reins of power in the Huan Yao Realm, with no one daring to defy her. The Twelve Guardian Clans and all the princely estates had also submitted to her completely. The demon emperor bloodline, which everyone thought was destined to be severed, would now be perpetuated under the divine power and grace of the Golden Crow Sacred God... Everyone could feel that this wedding would mark a completely new beginning in the history of the Huan Yao Realm.
Yun Che had already experienced two wedding ceremonies, but this one was vastly different from the previous two. The customs of the Huan Yao Realm were quite different from those of the Tian Xuan Continent. On top of that, this was a royal wedding, and Yun Che was marrying into the family... However, Yun Che wasn't particularly nervous about it. For the past few days, the entire city had been bustling like a pot of boiling porridge, but he alone remained utterly leisurely.
On the night before the wedding, Yun Che left the Yun Clan and stayed at the Yaohuang Palace to sleep, attended by eight beautiful maidservants. As soon as the sky began to lighten, these maidservants gently woke him up.
"Your Highness the Demon Lord, please allow us to bathe and dress you."
Having married Xiao Yaohou, Yun Che's identity had changed from "Young Clan Head of the Yun Family" to "Demon Lord." However, Yun Che still didn't know whether this "Demon Lord" referred to "the monarch of the Huan Yao Realm" or..."the husband of Xiao Yaohou."
These eight maidservants had all been personally selected by Xiao Yaohou. Each one had a flower-like countenance and a temperament that far surpassed that of ordinary aristocratic daughters. Even their profound strength was at the Overlord Xuan Realm. They wore only a thin layer of cloud-white gauze, and as they walked, their body fragrance wafted, their jade-like forms faintly visible—far more seductive than being completely naked.
They helped Yun Che up from the dragon bed, put a light robe on him, slipped on his light boots, and then supported him as they walked towards the bath. With every step, the soft breasts of the maidens gently pressed against his arms, making him feel a bit lightheaded.
The bath was very large, filled with a dense mist. Both the edges and the bottom of the bath were paved with the most luxurious Tianchi Mysterious Jade, its pure white color exquisitely beautiful.
Yun Che's outer robe was removed, and he was gently led into the bath. The eight beautiful maidservants shed their gauze, baring their snow-white, seductive, and enchanting bodies. Four of them began to sprinkle colorful flower petals into the pool, while the other four coiled around Yun Che's body like delicate snakes, using their snowy hands and jade-like forms to cleanse him... Although it was their first time seeing a man's body, their crystal-like eyes held no timidity or rejection—only pure sanctity and a hazy curiosity.
By the time Yun Che had finished bathing, the sky was already fully bright. The maidens dressed him in a splendid golden robe, fastened his crimson-gold jade belt, and placed a crimson-gold crown on his head... This set of luxurious attire naturally made Yun Che radiate brilliance and exude an exceptional aura, causing the maidens' eyes to sparkle with rippling colors. At the Yaohuang Grand Hall, the guests had also begun to enter. The names the master of ceremonies called out were more intimidating than the last, and the congratulatory gifts they presented were even more astonishing one after another. Before long, the gifts had piled up into a small mountain. Any single one of these gifts, taken alone, would be a supreme treasure that ordinary people would be lucky to see even once in a lifetime.
However, the congratulatory gifts presented to the Yun Clan side were much more monotonous... Because the Yun Clan had spread the news: The young clan head, Yun Che, likes to collect various exotic swords. If you bring a gift, it's best to bring a superior profound sword—the higher the grade, the better... And heavy swords are preferred.
Thus, over the past seven days, the entire Huan Yao Realm had been flooded with tasks. But tonight, her heart was in turmoil, unable to find peace.
A hundred years ago, on her wedding night, she had not awaited the Little Demon Emperor; instead, she received news of his departure for the Tian Xuan Continent... Then came the devastating news of his death in Tian Xuan, which turned her fate upside down from then on.
And tonight, there would be no similar tragedy, yet it also marked another beginning in her life. A hundred years ago, the grand wedding was for the sake of the clan. But today, it was half for the clan and half for herself.
The door was gently pushed open, and Yun Che walked in slowly. He didn't speak but walked straight to Xiao Yaohou's side. Then, he gently raised his hands, silently removed her phoenix crown adorned with a golden pearl curtain, revealing her jade-white, peerlessly beautiful floral face.
Today, Xiao Yaohou was so dreamlike and illusory in her beauty that Yun Che's gaze grew dazed. He swallowed all the words he was about to speak... Subconsciously, he was afraid that if he uttered a sound, it would shatter this illusory dream.
The two of them, who were often at odds in daily life, were both silent now.
Yun Che sat down beside her. One hand gently wrapped around her slender waist, while the other slowly caressed her cheek. Xiao Yaohou's body trembled slightly, but she didn't resist; instead, she quietly closed her eyes. Then, she felt a scorching masculine breath drawing near, and then a heavy kiss landed on her lips.
Xiao Yaohou's beautiful eyes flew open. Flustered, she pushed Yun Che away. Although it was only a momentary touch, the sensation on her lips was clearly imprinted on her heart and soul, making her heart race and a strange, unfamiliar softness spread through her body. Realizing her overreaction, she lowered her head to avoid Yun Che's gaze and said softly, "I... I'm still not used to it..."
Xiao Yaohou's eyelashes fluttered lightly, and a faint, light rosy glow tinged her fragrant cheeks... Yun Che's breath came to a complete halt in that instant, then became extremely heavy. Because this was the first time he had ever seen a hint of girlish charm on Xiao Yaohou... Although it was just a very light, very faint touch, it nearly caused his mental defenses to crumble instantly.
Yun Che felt his blood boiling. He no longer cared about anything else, not even the possibility of being instinctively blasted away by her. Suddenly lunging forward, he pressed her down onto the wedding bed, putting all his weight on top of this Xiao Yaohou, who wield power over the entire world and was peerlessly beautiful. He kissed her cheeks, her lips, and her fragrant neck voraciously, while his hands wildly caressed her small, smooth, and soft body...
"Hnn... w-wait..."
A soft moan escaped Xiao Yaohou's lips, soul-stirring and captivating. Hearing it made Yun Che's blood surge. Even Xiao Yaohou herself couldn't believe she had made such a sound. She didn't blast him away with force, but a small hand pressed somewhat frantically against his lips, pushing him back slightly. At this moment, Xiao Yaohou's eyelashes trembled, her gaze hazy like water, tinged with a hint of panic. But there was no trace of her usual coldness. She averted her beautiful eyes, panting, and said, "You... you have such amazing medical skills. Is there... is there any way... that can help me... have a child sooner?"
Yun Che's heart gave a slight flutter, but then his eyes blazed with heat again. He looked at this Xiao Yaohou, who had given him such a shock, temptation, and surprise on their wedding night, with a captivated gaze. "Such an important matter naturally has to follow the laws of heaven and human ethics. How could there be any special method... Hmm, the only method is for us, as husband and wife, to work hard at it every day... Just like back then in the Jinwu Thunder Flame Valley."
"...Don't... don't mention the Jinwu Thunder Flame Valley again..."
"Alright... I won't say it... I'll only do it!!"
Xiao Yaohou's golden robe at her chest was directly and roughly torn open by Yun Che, whose hot blood had surged to his head. The exposed skin was as tender as congealed honey, as soft as snow velvet... Xiao Yaohou's body trembled slightly, but still, there was no resistance. Instead, she closed her eyes, furrowed her delicate brows, and panted softly. It was as if her instinctive aversion to being touched had completely vanished this night when facing Yun Che, replaced by a blush that spread over her entire body, like newly bloomed roses.
The gauze curtain fell. From between Xiao Yaohou's lips, which had been tightly closed, began to escape trembling moans that were both reproachful and enchanting. Her heart and soul followed the man above her, flying towards an unknown world.
"Six years, married three times... He's worse than a beast!" Mo Li bitterly sealed her hearing, resolutely refusing to listen to those unbearable sounds. Then, narrowing her eyes, she murmured to herself, "This Xiao Yaohou suddenly decided to marry this big lecher, sure enough, she wants to give birth to a child before she dies to continue the demon emperor bloodline... Unfortunately, with her physical condition... it's absolutely impossible."
