Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"What kind of logic is it to send demonic energy as a wedding gift? They clearly have ill intentions!"

"Deluding yourself on the idea of ​​demonizing the Martial Lord, how despicable!"

"Since the Demon Lord has walked right into our trap, let's eliminate this demon now and then march on Tianyan Demon City."

Seeing that chaos was about to break out, Huang Quan shouted: "Those who are here to drink the wedding wine, stay here; those who want to fight and kill, get out!"

The hall fell silent instantly.

Unexpectedly, both sides of the Holy War arrived at the same time. Although Luo Hou was not happy, today was his big day, and he could not let Yu Cixin worry, nor could he let the ceremony that the people of Tiandu had been preparing for so long be ruined.

He laughed heartily: "Thank you all for coming. Today we'll just drink, not talk business."

A beautiful night

The last rays of the setting sun fell on the western sea; the auspicious hour had arrived.

At dusk, day and night alternate, yin and yang are in harmony, which is conducive to mutual growth. Men are called yang, and women are called yin; to marry at this time is in accordance with the natural order.

The emcee was Yu Bufan, and for this purpose, he had watched no fewer than ten weddings over the past three months, memorizing the procedures thoroughly.

Firecrackers and fireworks exploded loudly, and sparks flew everywhere.

Dressed in a bright red wedding gown, Luo Hou waited quietly for his bride.

The bride, dressed in bright red, was helped out by Jun Manlu and Xiangling, followed by two flower girls, Xiaomian and Lingziling.

Ling Shuixian placed the two ends of the love knot into Luo Hou and the bride's hands, leading them together.

Neither side had parents or elders, so the wedding process was much simpler.

Seeing the couple approach the main hall, Yu Bufan gathered his true energy and loudly proclaimed:

"One bow to heaven and earth, a predestined marriage across three lifetimes, may the gods have mercy."

"Bowing to the sun and moon twice brings good fortune and celebration, and freedom from disaster and hardship."

"Husband and wife bow to each other, supporting each other through thick and thin until their hair turns white, may they live together forever."

There were far more guests than expected today. Yu Bufan had already gotten the information from Luo Hou's eyes. After the wedding ceremony, he immediately sang:

"After the ceremony, they were led to the bridal chamber."

"Let's begin the banquet and thank our guests!"

The bride hasn't even been properly seen yet, and they're already sending her to the bridal chamber?

The amorous hermit was the first to exclaim: "What! Who is the bride?!"

"Empress Wu of Tiandu must have been the most beautiful woman in the world."

Some people joked, "Is the reason why the Martial Lord is hiding so well is because he is as ugly as Wu Yan?"

These distinguished guests were naturally not concerned with the bride's appearance, but rather with the identity hidden beneath the red veil.

Up to this point, Wu Jun has not explained his stance. He has been an enemy of the righteous path, and he has also helped the righteous path. No one can guess his choice.

The upcoming battle between the Holy and the Demonic might very well lead to a different outcome depending on his choices.

This was the true purpose of Hai Chan Zun and Ta Hua Chan Ti's visit: to determine Rahu's future stance by using the bride's identity.

If we can't find anyone now, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

Just as the bride was about to walk out of the main hall, a gentle yet strong wind blew, lifting her veil and revealing a face as pure and unparalleled as a plum blossom.

Just as the guests were captivated by her stunning beauty, the bride frowned, turned around with a cold gaze, her bright red wedding dress fluttering in the wind, and a chilling murderous intent swept over the guests.

Such powerful internal energy!

Despite her icy appearance, she possessed the aura of a king.

The bride's reaction surprised the guests. She seemed to have a bad temper and they wondered who she was.

Luo Hou walked to the bride's side, blocking everyone's view, and gently lowered the red veil over her head, whispering, "Wait for me."

Jun Manlu and Xiangling quickly helped her away.

Luo Hou walked back to the guests, took the wine cup from Huang Quan's hand, and said with a smile, "Thank you all for coming. I'll drink this first as a sign of respect."

After this brief interlude, everyone began to drink freely, and laughter soon filled the hall.

Then, Huang Quan, Xiao Jiandun, and Nanfeng Bujing all started drinking with others, thus separating Hai Chanzun from the Demon Lord.

Hai Chan Zun and He Hua Chan Ti listened intently, but did not hear any clues about the bride. Clearly, the bride did not belong to any of the factions present.

This put their minds at ease.

Hai Chan Zun stood up first, wanting to find Luo Hou, but saw Luo Hou walking towards Su Huan Zhen.

Su Huanzhen, a figure he feared, made Hai Chan Zun sit back down.

Luo Hou walked up to Su Huanzhen and whispered in his ear, "Both the Holy and the Demonic factions would appreciate it if you, Sage Su, could help us entertain them."

Su Huanzhen chuckled: "Since Wu Jun took the initiative to ask me for help, shouldn't I also receive some reward?"

"You started the war between the Holy and the Demonic, and I haven't even blamed you for ruining the atmosphere of my wedding yet."

"Oh, a guest has come from afar, is this not delightful?"

"This is the perfect opportunity for you to shine."

"Alright, I, Su, will reluctantly lend a hand to Lord Wu."

As Su Huanzhen walked toward Hai Chan Zun, Hai Chan Zun turned his head away and started chatting with Dao Huo. They both belonged to the Daoist sect of the Taiqing Realm and had a lot to talk about.

Just as Luo Hou was about to sneak away from the main hall, he came over with a cup raised by Hua Chanti: "Martial Lord, your wife is indeed a beauty that could topple kingdoms, I envy her so much."

Praising his beloved wife, Luo Hou couldn't leave: "Thank you for the praise, Demon Lord."

"I also want to thank Lord Wu for taking care of my younger brother."

"Easy to do."

Just as he was about to get to the point, Ren Yunzong suddenly walked over and said, "Demon Lord, if you want to drink wedding wine, I'll accompany you."

Luo Hou took the opportunity to leave, but after taking only two steps, You Ming of the Moon Clan arrived with Ai Ran Ming Niang.

"Wu Jun, thank you for taking care of my second brother."

Their feud ended the moment Huang Quan stabbed Luo Hou to death. Coupled with You Ming's peace-loving nature, the Moon Clan and the Heavenly Capital no longer harbor any resentment towards each other.

"Huang Quan is my brother."

This statement said it all, and the three of them drank the wine in their cups.

Next came Wu Huo Du Mi. A Buddhist doesn't drink alcohol, so he held a glass of water: "Martial Lord, when will Hao Tian Qiong make his move?"

"Venerable monk, let us not discuss matters of killing and warfare today."

"All right!"

Another person has arrived...

Luo Hou was not a sociable person, and Tiandu was usually quite deserted. Unexpectedly, after watching the wedding, these people not only did not leave, but actually started drinking.

He was getting anxious. His bride was still waiting for him in the bridal chamber. Would drinking so much make her repulsed by the smell of alcohol?

"Yellow Spring!"

"Ok?"

"You drink the rest of the wine for me. Excuse me."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ignoring Huang Quan's expression, Luo Hou dodged away.

Suppress your inner impulse and go to the bathroom to wash yourself thoroughly.

Only after confirming that he was no longer intoxicated did Luo Hou enter the Phoenix Palace.

This was a bridal chamber meticulously decorated by the women of Tiandu. Everything in sight was red: red carpets, red beds, red pillows, and red curtains.

There was also a bride in bright red sitting by the bed.

The night is already deep.

When the bride and groom entered the bridal chamber, the girls who had been making a ruckus all smiled and left, leaving only the red candles flickering gently, illuminating the man in his wedding attire.

Luo Hou walked to the bride's side, his heart pounding.

"Sorry I'm late."

"It doesn't matter."

A low voice came from under the bright red veil, carrying a feeling different from usual.

His King Jiwu was surprisingly gentle.

Luo Hou bent down and gently lifted the red veil, revealing a brown face, as if ice and snow had just broken, full of spring.

Her dark green eyes darted away from his gaze, revealing a shy expression for the first time in her life.

Luo Hou gazed at her silently. Regardless of the will of suffering, he had finally changed her fate.

From this day forward, we will never betray each other, and we will never abandon each other.

As dawn broke, Luo Hou reluctantly left the Phoenix Palace.

This night is going to be fierce!

The Emperor was particularly domineering in this matter, forbidding Empress Wu from using her inner energy to defend herself. Although Empress Wu tried to counterattack several times during the battle, she was defeated each time because her moves were not skillful enough.

However, Empress Wu was exceptionally talented, and given time, she might have a chance to turn the tide.

Last night, after the wedding banquet, apart from Mr. Jidao and Jixiashang staying at Luohou's invitation, all the other guests had already said goodbye.

Jun Manlu prepared a variety of morning teas.

Seeing Luo Hou emerge with a beaming smile, Mr. Jidao waved his fan and said, "Oh dear, last night the crabapple blossoms were first touched by the rain. I ask you, my love, how beautiful the flowers are, and how lovely my face is?"
