Chapter 2574 - 2264: Marrying Liu Qingqiu
Chapter 2574: Chapter 2264: Marrying Liu Qingqiu
The city under Eternal Night in Central State is silent, with empty streets.
Conversely, the city under Eternal Night in Border Wilderness is bustling like a dream, with heavy traffic.
Today is the day Lu Chen marries Liu Qingqiu.
The entire Spirit Hill City is decorated with countless red lanterns in addition to the original ones, creating a festive atmosphere.
Though the wedding banquet is rather rushed, the City Lords from nearby towns around Spirit Hill City, along with family heads from major families in Central State, have come to attend Lu Chen’s wedding banquet.
The families from Central State have sent lavish gifts, each hoping to establish good relations with Lu Chen.
At the wedding banquet, Lu Chen, clad in a red groom’s attire, surveyed the attendees.
Yesterday, he pondered whether some Spirit Martial Artists from Central State might attend his wedding banquet, perhaps even encountering a new Ancestor of the Strange; thus, he specifically notified the nearby towns around Spirit Hill City.
But upon inspection, no other Ancestor of the Strange was present; it seems he was overthinking.
However, through the system, he discovered that many attendees were hiding their true strength, mostly in the King Realm.
Indeed, the people of Central State who survived to reach Border Wilderness were protected by High Realm Spirit Martial Artists.
Lu Chen stood in the grand hall and said, "Thank you all for attending my wedding banquet."
"Most of you here are from Central State; if you encounter any problems or have any needs while in Border Wilderness, you can contact the City Lord from your respective city."
The attendees immediately raised their glasses to Lu Chen, saying, "Thank you, Regent King."
After downing a glass of wine, Lu Chen put down his glass and continued, "However, I must remind you that I know most of you here are King Realm Spirit Martial Artists. In the Border Wilderness, your power indeed makes you significant figures."
"But now that Border Wilderness is united and completely under the territory of Dazhou, I hope none of you act recklessly or lawlessly."
"If anyone disrupts the peace of the Border Wilderness, I will not let them off easily."
As he spoke, Lu Chen fully released the aura of the Saint Realm from his body.
Feeling the Saint Realm aura emanating from Lu Chen, the family heads present were astounded.
They initially believed Lu Chen’s strength was at the Emperor Realm; they had heard about Lu Chen instant killing Saint Realm experts with Emperor Realm strength on their way to Border Wilderness.
But now it seems Lu Chen’s strength is more terrifying than they knew.
This aura from Lu Chen undoubtedly surpassed the Emperor Realm.
Most of the attendees were King Realm; they had seen Emperor Realm experts in Central State and had felt the aura of Emperor Realm experts.
The aura from Lu Chen far exceeded the Emperor Realm; only a Saint Realm could exert such a terrifying pressure.
If the information leaked by those Super Forces from Central State was true, it would mean that Lu Chen had only recently broken through to the Saint Realm, suggesting his talent is extraordinary!
If Lu Chen truly possesses this kind of talent, his future ascent to the Emperor Realm is a sure thing.
Thinking about how soon an Emperor Realm may preside over Border Wilderness, the fear on the family heads’ faces transformed into joy.
With the protection of an Emperor Realm expert, Border Wilderness would be even safer.
Indeed, they made the right choice coming here.
In Central State, when they sought protection from those Super Forces, they were ignored.
Now they could receive shelter from an Emperor Realm expert, making them thrilled.
After recovering their composure, the attendees collectively responded, "We will remember the Regent King’s advice."
Lu Chen withdrew his aura and continued, "Border Wilderness is vast, and there is plenty of land; as long as you don’t cause trouble, there’s a place for your families in Border Wilderness."
Hearing Lu Chen’s words, the families became even more excited, indicating Lu Chen had accepted them.
Initially, when they arrived at Border Wilderness, they constantly worried that Lu Chen would drive them away since Border Wilderness was only safe partly due to the presence of Deceit Saints and partly because no powerful figures existed there. If Lu Chen were aware of their strength and feared Deceit Tide would gather in Border Wilderness, he might expel them.
Now it seems they were overthinking; with the protection of Deceit Saints and Lu Chen, they might develop better in Border Wilderness than in Central State.
Lu Chen then explained some rules of Border Wilderness.
After the feast ended, he eagerly headed to the bridal chamber where Liu Qingqiu was located.
In the bridal chamber, the lights were warm, everything was red, the windows adorned with red celebratory symbols. Liu Qingqiu was wearing a red wedding gown, the bed covered in red bedding; sensing Lu Chen’s aura, she couldn’t help but clasp her jade-like hands on her lap.
Though mentally prepared, Liu Qingqiu felt incredibly nervous when it came to taking the next step with Lu Chen.
At that moment, Lu Chen’s aura drew closer, Liu Qingqiu’s heart raced, her ears turned red, and her mind felt dizzy.
Before anything began, she was already overwhelmed by the atmosphere.
As Liu Qingqiu was lost in thought, a large hand reached to caress her cheek.
Feeling Lu Chen’s warm palm, Liu Qingqiu’s delicate body trembled.
The next moment, Lu Chen’s hand gently moved downwards, then the bed creaked, slightly sinking; Lu Chen sat at the bedside, embracing her slender waist.
Lu Chen held Liu Qingqiu and softly whispered in her ear, "My love, it’s late; we should rest."
Liu Qingqiu felt apprehensive.
In truth, for someone like Liu Qingqiu, a King Realm Spirit Martial Artist, intimacy was nothing significant.
Though she had not experienced intimacy, her age and experiences made her indifferent about such matters.
Yet, for some reason, she felt nervous when interacting with Lu Chen, an emotion she couldn’t explain.
Despite being a Spirit Martial Artist, how could she be so tense?
Lu Chen’s large hand roamed over her body, her clothes slowly unfastened, allowing the cool breeze to tickle her skin; Liu Qingqiu’s mind gradually shut down, preparing herself even before anything had begun.
At this point, Lu Chen gently laid her down onto the bed; with a slight guiding touch from Lu Chen, she instinctively knew what to do.
After they were on the bed, Lu Chen lifted her red veil, whispered in her ear, "My love, turn your back to me."
With just those few words, Liu Qingqiu understood Lu Chen’s intentions and willingly complied.
Lu Chen wrapped his arm around her slender waist, pressed his chest against her delicate back, and softly commanded, "Look back."
Liu Qingqiu turned to look at Lu Chen, her eyes glistening with tears, embodying an alluring and shy beauty.
Lu Chen leaned over, sealing her fragrant lips.
Mmm...
Mmm!
Lu Chen felt gratified, beginning his task.
...
Liu Qingyun sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, her brow furrowed, her expression grim.
For these King Realm Spirit Martial Artists, matters of intimacy were trivial.
However, becoming a plaything for a man was entirely different.
If Lu Chen genuinely cared for her sister and if they were truly husband and wife, she wouldn’t worry even if her sister married Lu Chen.
Yet it was evident Lu Chen treated her sister as a plaything, deprived of dignity before him. Whenever Liu Qingyun thought of her sister being wantonly toyed with by Lu Chen, her heart ached; her sister had sacrificed so much for the Liu Family.
She hoped Lu Chen wouldn’t leave her sister with significant psychological scars.
Just as Liu Qingyun thought this, she suddenly felt a jolt, her mind conjuring the image of Lu Chen behind Liu Qingqiu.
Liu Qingyun raised her hand to her forehead and slightly shook her head.
