Chapter 465: Consort Su
by AshPurgatory2025On the day of the wedding.
Ever since that day in the imperial court, Lin Xun felt that his journey to the Demon Race World had become somewhat dreamlike.
Inexplicably, he was about to marry She Qiqi… It felt somewhat absurdly inexplicable… But regardless, if they were to marry, then so be it; it was just a fake marriage anyway.
Besides, his reputation would definitely not spread to the Myriad Laws World.
Because Ten Thousand Demon Country had publicly declared that he was a person of the Demon Race World.
After all, for Ten Thousand Demon Country, it was impossible for them to let their daughter marry a human from the Myriad Laws World.
So even if he came from the Myriad Laws World, right now, he had to become a person of the Demon Race World.
As for the other feudal lords of Ten Thousand Demon Country, they could certainly investigate and find out that Lin Xun came from the Myriad Laws World, but it didn’t matter… They wouldn’t dare publicly undermine the Ten Thousand Demon Country’s imperial family.
Unless they didn’t want to survive anymore and planned to directly raise an army… In short, after the fake marriage was over, Lin Xun would head to Xuanfeng City to see Chu Yaoyao.
Lin Xun really wanted to see how Yaoyao was doing.
When the auspicious hour arrived, Lin Xun put on the red groom’s attire under the service of the maids.
The wedding customs of the Demon Race World were not as troublesome as those in the Myriad Laws World.
In the Demon Race World, all customs were relatively simple.
Furthermore, since Lin Xun was becoming a consort, it was equivalent to joining the bride’s family.
So the wedding was even simpler… Mounting a tall Ferghana Horse, Lin Xun went to receive the bride.
The process of receiving the bride involved making a circuit around the main street of the Demon Capital before entering the imperial palace.
During Lin Xun’s parade through the streets, all the citizens of the Demon Capital stood on both sides of the road.
Looking at this grand wedding procession, they were full of curiosity about this human husband who was about to become the Seventh Princess’s spouse.
Lin Xun even heard a few little girls pointing at him and asking their mothers, “Why doesn’t this big brother have a tail…”
After spending an hour finishing the street parade.
Lin Xun’s wedding procession entered the imperial palace.
Inside the palace, envoys from various subsidiary dynasties had already arrived long ago.
As for the feudal lords of Ten Thousand Demon Country, they absolutely had to attend regardless of the reason.
After all, given the prestige of the imperial family, even if She Qiqi didn’t have the royal Bloodline and was just an ordinary female general, they would still have rushed over.
In everyone’s hearts, the name She Qiqi was no longer just a designation for the Seventh Princess.
And although the wedding customs were relatively simple.
There were also close-serving maids by Lin Xun’s side giving him reminders.
But when Lin Xun was about to step over a brazier, he felt that something was slightly off.
Especially when Lin Xun had to worship the ancestors of the Yao Race together, namely that ancient Demon Saint who opened the heavens.
Lin Xun’s heart felt even more complex… The final wedding ritual of the Demon Race World still consisted of three bows.
First bow to Heaven and Earth, second bow to the parents, third bow to each other.
After the three bows, Lin Xun almost thought he was about to be sent to the bridal chamber.
In fact, the Vice Minister of Rites of the Yao Race was almost ready to shout for them to be sent to the bridal chamber.
But at this moment, She Qiqi spoke up first.
“Wait…”
Hearing She Qiqi’s voice, whether it was the Demon Emperor or the princes and guests present, their hearts all tightened… “As expected, is She Qiqi finally going to cause some trouble?”
This thought popped into everyone’s minds.
Because no one believed that She Qiqi would truly get married obediently.
To expect She Qiqi to stop competing for the throne and henceforth focus on her husband and children was simply unthinkable for everyone.
“Qiqi, what’s wrong?”
The Demon Emperor looked at his daughter with a smile, his expression appearing extremely composed.
She Qiqi, covered by the red bridal veil, took a step forward and bowed: “Father… your daughter has a request, and I hope Father can grant it.”
“Hahaha… Of course, today is your big day. No matter what request you have, Father can grant it.”
The Demon Emperor appeared extremely generous, but in truth, his heart was already on guard.
“In that case, Qiqi will speak plainly… Qiqi wishes to bow before my mother’s grave with my husband.”
When She Qiqi made this request, Lin Xun didn’t think much of it.
She Qiqi had deep feelings for her mother. Wanting to bow before her mother’s presence during the wedding was naturally a very normal thing.
But the problem was, why did everyone’s expressions freeze when She Qiqi said these words?
Even the atmosphere at the scene became extremely heavy?
Why exactly was this? Was the name of She Qiqi’s mother a taboo?
“I ask Father to please permit it…”
Hearing her father’s long silence and lack of agreement, She Qiqi bowed again.
“Good!”
The Demon Emperor nodded, looking extremely permitting and appreciative.
“It was indeed Father’s lack of consideration. On your big day, how could your mother not be present?”
Move to Qingxue Palace!”
“Thank you, Father…”
She Qiqi’s voice echoed in the main hall for a long time.
Her voice was light, but it shook everyone’s hearts.
An hour later, Lin Xun and She Qiqi, along with the others, arrived at Qingxue Palace.
In this Qingxue Palace, there was only one spirit tablet.
【Consort Su】
This was the name on the spirit tablet, She Qiqi’s mother.
“Husband, this is my mother, and the person I have loved and respected most in my life.”
Looking at Lin Xun, She Qiqi smiled slightly, with faint tears in her charming eyes.
For a moment, Lin Xun didn’t know if She Qiqi was acting or if this was a true revelation of her feelings.
“However, my mother’s grave is not here. After we marry, let’s go to the place where my mother passed away and see her again, okay?”
“I’ll listen to you.”
Lin Xun nodded, then took a few sticks of incense before the spirit tablet, lit them, bowed three times, and inserted them into the incense burner.
And hearing She Qiqi’s nonchalant words, cold sweat broke out on everyone’s foreheads.
They constantly felt that She Qiqi was going to do something in the next moment.
But fortunately, nothing happened.
After paying respects before Consort Su’s spirit tablet, the wedding was truly complete.
At this moment, in everyone’s hearts, She Qiqi had already married this Lin Pei.
At night, the imperial palace was brightly lit.
Guests from various places raised their glasses and toasted, enjoying themselves immensely.
In the bridal chamber, Lin Xun sat at the table, drinking tea cup after cup.
Just as Lin Xun intended to sit on the floor and close his eyes to rest.
She Qiqi’s voice came from the bedside:
“What? Don’t tell me you really don’t plan on touching me tonight?”
