The Immortal Empress, Unrivaled Through Eternity

"It's Jiang Jing, the Commander of the Demon Suppression Division!"

Li Yunqing's eyes flickered slightly, and she immediately saw Jiang Jing sitting below.

You can feel those fiery gazes coming from all directions, burning like fire upon you.

A clear mind can detect gazes that are filled with possessiveness and desire.

Some lewd gazes even lingered on her chest and legs.

She remained silent, standing there quietly, her expression as serene as ever.

He didn't respond to Jiang Jing at all, but instead felt a deep unease in his heart.

She understood very well that in this era where the strong are respected, beauty is a blessing and an opportunity, but it can also be a crisis and a source of trouble.

Jiang Jing's words seemed to be well.

But she knew that once she agreed, she would be practically tied to Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing is a Qi Realm martial artist. Once he sets his mind on possessing her, given her current strength, she will have almost no chance to resist.

A beginner martial artist can be injured by sharp weapons, but a Qi Realm martial artist, whose true Qi leaves their body, can block weapons.

On the contrary, even if Jiang Yu is engaged, even if he tries to force himself on her, he will not succeed if she is unwilling.

Today, she has appeared in front of so many people, even if someone protects her after the engagement is called off.

There will also be men who use underhanded tactics against her, and even against her family.

This is probably the nature of men with money and power in such a world.

Those so-called principles, morals, and laws are nothing more than shackles that bind our true nature.

It is easily broken by a light touch in the face of overwhelming power.

Once broken through, it is destined to be like a primordial beast.

"We need to be more careful from now on!"

"Luckily, I studied medicine and toxicology, otherwise..."

Li Yunqing was overjoyed.

Even in public, under the watchful eyes of countless people, one can generally remain at peace.

Once she's alone with someone, who dares to say that others don't have any strange thoughts about her?

Martial arts can defend against enemies in the front, but medicine and poison can defend against those treacherous enemies in the shadows.

"Unless it's absolutely necessary, you must not wander off!"

"Only by breaking through to the Qi Realm as quickly as possible can I have any chance of self-defense!"

Thinking of this, Li Yunqing glanced at Jiang Jing silently.

For her, the millennium-old cold poison was even faster than any elixir.

More importantly, it can enhance the understanding of the Frost Sword Intent and the power of Frost.

It can accelerate her breakthrough to the Qi Realm.

Not seeing Li Yunqing's response, Jiang Jing felt a slight disappointment. He picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

He knew very well that Li Yunqing disliked Jiang Yu.

Born into the Li family, however, he could not resist the power of the Jiang family.

As for her own guarantee, Li Yunqing probably understood that there is no such thing as a free lunch in the world.

"If only I had met you sooner!"

For no apparent reason, such a thought arose in Jiang Jing's mind.

With his Qi Realm martial artist strength, if he had encountered them earlier, no one else would have been in the picture.

Or rather, it wasn't just him; the young masters and nobles from various families who came probably all had the same thought in their minds.

It's just that the Li family kept Li Yunqing hidden too well.

Throughout the entire city of Qingzhou, not a single trace of its fame was revealed.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the matchmaker appeared on the high platform, bowed to the four directions, and then spoke.

"Distinguished guests, relatives and friends."

"Li Yunqing, the daughter of the Li family, and Jiang Yu, the son of the Jiang family, are deeply in love and their marriage is a match made in heaven."

"On this auspicious day and time, let us tie our bonds with a red thread, sealing our marriage for a hundred years!"

"We respectfully invite you all to be our witnesses as we exchange our marriage certificates and betrothal documents."

As soon as the words were spoken, two maids carrying trays walked up behind Li Yunqing and Jiang Yu.

Seeing this scene, many people narrowed their eyes, their gazes fixed on Jiang Yu as if they were carrying knives.

Everyone understood that once the marriage certificates were exchanged, the marriage was considered settled.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, Li Yunqing will undoubtedly become Jiang Yu's wife.

Moreover, given the Jiang family's power, it's likely that no one in the entire Qingzhou would dare to oppose this marriage.

Even so, the young masters and sons of the various families still showed a trace of resentment when they looked at Li Yunqing's stunning beauty.

If we hadn't met today, many people probably wouldn't have known that the Li family's young lady possessed such stunning beauty.

"It might not work out!"

Zhou Ke, the eldest son of the Zhou family, murmured softly, his eyes still fixed on Li Yunqing, making no attempt to hide his amazement and possessiveness.

With the Qin family patriarch nearing the end of his life, Qingzhou City is bound to be in turmoil, and no one knows what will happen then.

Moreover, with the evil cult causing trouble, anything could happen.

Compared to her, all other women are merely ordinary and vulgar!

Qin Yu, the eldest son of the Qin family, had unfathomable eyes that also lingered on Li Yunqing.

Looking at the quiet, serene girl standing there, like a fairy descended to earth, his heart pounded.

It's hard not to be captivated by a woman of such unparalleled beauty.

Like a supreme treasure, once it is born, it will inevitably be coveted.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Yunqing and Jiang Yu slightly turned to the side and took the marriage certificate from the tray.

They then exchanged a bow before handing the marriage certificate to each other.

"The ceremony is complete!"

The matchmaker's voice was loud and clear, echoing throughout the main hall.

As she finished speaking, Li Yunqing's eyes swept across the hall, and she bowed slightly in greeting.

If they lack strength, any resistance will lead to annihilation.

Now, she even has to carefully hide her feelings of resistance.

"The engagement must be called off before the wedding!"

With this thought in mind, Li Yunqing got up and slowly walked towards the main hall door.

He didn't utter a single word from beginning to end, and didn't even glance at Jiang Yu.

"Tap tap tap..."

The slightest footsteps drew most people's attention.

Wherever he went, countless gazes followed him without any attempt to conceal their presence.

It wasn't until Li Yunqing's figure disappeared outside the main hall that everyone gradually came back to their senses.

Even so, the entire main hall remained quiet, as if everyone was captivated by her unparalleled beauty.

Li Yansong rose, returned to the platform, and bowed to all directions: "Thank you all for coming to witness this. Let the banquet begin!"

As Li Yansong spoke, one maid after another entered in an orderly fashion, carrying trays and setting out dishes of wine and food.

In an instant, the aroma of wine and food filled the entire main hall.

However, at this moment, many people have lost their appetite.

Even Jiang Yu was no exception.

Holding his chopsticks, he looked at the food and drinks in front of him, but found himself at a loss for words.

What still comes to mind is the image of Li Yunqing in her bright red dress.

"It's finally settled!"

His lips twitched, sometimes smiling, sometimes showing a hint of bitterness.

After a while, people gradually got up and left the banquet.

Jiang Jing picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He glanced around, slowly stood up, and walked out of the main hall at a leisurely pace.

Hearing the commotion from the surrounding courtyards, he glanced around, discerned the direction, and with a light tap of his toes, his figure quickly disappeared from the spot.

Ziyun Pavilion.

Li Yunqing had removed her red makeup and was now wearing a purple dress, practicing her boxing skills in the courtyard.

suddenly.

"despair!"

A tile clanged, and Li Yunqing paused slightly, instinctively looking up at the roof.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Jiang Jing was already lounging lazily on the rooftop.

His dark eyes stared straight down at Li Yunqing.

His face was cold and expressionless, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.

"Are you really willing to marry Jiang Yu?"

The hoarse voice wasn't loud, but it was still clear and easy to hear.

Upon hearing Jiang Jing's question, Li Yunqing remained silent.

When she heard Jiang Jing's words in the main hall, she had some guesses in her heart.

At this moment, she was finally absolutely certain that Jiang Jing, who was standing in front of her, probably also had feelings for her.

"Alright, alright... So you're tempted by beauty, huh?"

"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for taking advantage of you without any qualms!"

Feeling Jiang Jing's undisguised gaze, Li Yunqing shook her head and softly replied, "Of course I don't want to!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing's eyes lit up slightly, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"I see!"
