Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

Wang Hong is tired.

In just two days, I was teleported no less than five times!

First, Lu Huaiyuan got him onto the Firestone, and then he threw him directly into the Four Continents.

Then, he encountered Huang Sanyunying by chance, and under Huang Ji's coercion, was teleported to Starship City, a million miles away.

At the Lu family ancestral hall, some unknown master brought him to the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox Hall, where he bumped into Brother Jie.

Now, he has been caught by this old man in a woman's boudoir and forced to take off his clothes and submit!

Holy crap!

"What are you staring at? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to touch you?" Lu Wantang's face was unfriendly, as if she was about to teach someone a lesson.

"Please leave, senior. I'll call you again after I've changed my clothes."

You've changed your clothes? I only want to see you when you're not dressed properly!

Lu Wantang seemed to have lost patience. Her Nascent Soul Realm power surged forth, immobilizing Wang Hong. His gilded concealment robe flew off uncontrollably, revealing the Emperor's Armor underneath.

Upon seeing that Wang Hong was wearing underwear underneath, Lu Wantang was about to get angry, but then she sensed the extraordinary nature of the underwear.

Such high-level energy fluctuations!

Wang Hong saw the glint in Lu Wantang's eyes and cursed inwardly. The Emperor Hero was one of his biggest trump cards. Was this old man going to steal it?

Lu Wantang was now certain that this kid indeed possessed the inheritance of the Heavenly Craftsmanship!

Otherwise, the divine creation on his body wouldn't exude such a strong aura!

It seems that the old man was right, those beings are coming back!

Even the rats hiding in the shadows can't hide any longer!

A wisp of spiritual energy appeared in Lu Wantang's hand, and the Sacred Fox Burning Evil Crimson Fire Robe, driven by the spiritual energy, pressed tightly against Wang Hong, covering the surface of the Emperor's Hero.

As soon as the embroidered robe covered his chest, Wang Hong felt a burning sensation surge into his chest.

"This is the Thousand Illusions Dream Flying Cloud Shoulder!" Another gorgeous shawl appeared in Lu Wantang's hand, flew to Wang Hong's shoulder, and draped over him.

The flying cloud shoulder is shaped like nine lotus petals. When draped over the shoulders, the lotus petals naturally unfold and cover the upper arms.

The edges of each lotus petal are embroidered with tiny fox patterns in silver thread. With Wang Hong's breathing, these fox patterns would gently blink their eyes, as if they were alive.

"This is the 'Three Lives Three Worlds Immortal Dress'!"

The layers of Liuxian skirt appeared around Wang Hong's waist like piled-up clouds.

The edges of the three-tiered skirt are adorned with eighty-one star beads, their colors gradation from silver-white to deep blue, each bead containing a wisp of starlight.

Old Deng's way of dressing was so violent that it caused Wang Hong's body to sway, and the star beads collided with each other, making a sound like wind chimes meeting the Milky Way.

"These three treasures were jointly created by the three elders of my Eastern Continent Spirit Fox Clan using Moonlight Heavenly Silkworm Silk, Crimson Flame Heavenly Silkworm Silk, and Starlight Silk respectively. When combined, they are comparable to a top-grade seventh-tier defensive magic weapon. They also contain the supernatural powers and spells of the three elders, showcasing the strength of my Spirit Fox Clan!"

"Those old guys are afraid that Qingyuan will not comply during the wedding, so the Three Treasures contain a spirit-locking formation. But don't worry, the old guys are not sending Qingyuan to his death! The spirit-locking formation can only last for twelve hours."

Only then did Wang Hong realize that the circulation of spiritual energy within his body had become sluggish.

There seemed to be a hint of longing on Old Deng's face: "Twelve hours is after the wedding ceremony with Ji Duanyi. At that time, the two of us will be bound together by life and death, inseparable."

Wang Hong was taken aback: "Our lives are intertwined? What do you mean?"

"Marriages between prominent families involve very elaborate ceremonies, the most important of which is the Grand Ceremony of Harmony between Heaven and Earth, where mandarin ducks playfully dance together, signifying their joyous union!"

"With the patriarchs and elders of both clans jointly presiding over the ceremony, Heaven and Earth will bestow blessings upon you! Your foundation in cultivation will be even stronger." Lu Wantang said, then suddenly grinned mischievously, "On your wedding night, as you two become one, your spiritual energy will flow freely within you as you are united in marriage, like a complete cleansing of your marrow!"

"This is an unparalleled benefit! Even some members of the royal family could only dream of such an opportunity!"

Wang Hong understood that the marriage alliance between powerful clans was indeed not just a simple matter of getting married. The lives of the two clans' most outstanding young clan leaders were intertwined, and the two clans would naturally advance and retreat together!

"You're saying Lu Qingyuan will be fine because her life is tied to Ji Duanyi's?"

"I'm not going to waste any more time on nonsense. If you want to ask, go ask your ideal husband, Ji Duanyi!"

A beam of light flashed between Lu Wantang's brows. She seemed to have received some message and hurriedly left, leaving only Wang Hong behind.

That damn old Deng!

Wang Hong suspected that she didn't want to talk about it and pretended to have something to do to run away!

[Hey, Holy Sword! You need to poop again, hurry up, don't keep making people rush you!]

Wang Hong's mind was in turmoil. If he and Ji Duanyi were to get married, what would he do in the future?

I should have known better than to be so stubborn. Why didn't that old man say so sooner!

I wonder if it's possible for men to play together like lovers and even get married?

hiss......

Wang Hong looked around the room, which was empty except for a bed. He sat on the bed, bored and lost in thought.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Lu Qingyuan walked in.

Wang Hong couldn't help but beam with joy, his jade-like face lighting up the room with a smile. Yet, he then frowned, looking as if he were about to die. "Qingyuan, you're finally here! I've been fooled by that old idiot! I've been fooled by that old idiot!"

Looking at the bride-to-be, Lu Qingyuan felt a mixture of joy and sorrow. Hearing Wang Hong's tearful complaint, she frowned slightly, "What happened?"

Wang Hong recounted the story of the couple's playful banter and their happy marriage. Lu Qingyuan's face grew increasingly grim, and she was about to confront Lu Wantang when Wang Hong stopped her and shook his head.

A wealth of information about the Holy Sword appeared directly in Lu Qingyuan's mind.

The words spoken by everyone inside the glass lamp, along with Wang Hong's trump cards, finally coalesced into six words that echoed in her mind: "Qingyuan, let's run!"

Lu Qingyuan's expression turned grim. Run? Where to run?

She said softly, "Grandma, I know you're here. I have something to tell you."

"Qingyuan, you're so clever, unlike that brat Wang Hong!" Lu Wantang appeared, looking at Wang Hong with an unfriendly expression. "What did you just call me?"

"Lao Deng means someone who reaches the summit in old age, hence the name Lao Deng!" Wang Hong looked at Lu Wantang with admiration.

Lu Wantang looked at him suspiciously. "Really?"

Qingyuan looked at Lu Wantang and asked, "Grandma, what exactly is going on with this ceremony? Will Wang Hong really marry Ji Duanyi and their lives become intertwined?"

"Uh, I don't know about this either. After all, only the top clans hold the Harmony of Heaven and Earth Ceremony, and there's never been a precedent for men and men, or women and women, to unite!"

"If anything unexpected happens during tomorrow's ceremony, please, Great-Grandmother, intervene and save Wang Hong!"

"Don't worry, for your sake, Wang Hong will definitely be fine!" Lu Wantang looked relaxed. With that old guy around, he'd be there to hold the sky up even if it fell!

"Alright, hurry up and put the phoenix crown on Wang Hong! He's getting married soon!" After saying that, Lu Wantang disappeared.

Lu Qingyuan presented a phoenix crown with both hands.

The crown shone brightly, with a gem at the end trailing like a shooting star, its clear light rippled.

Fine silver threads, as thin as hair, hung down from around the crown's rim, scattering a cool moonlight.

It was the same dress that No. 18 wore on the wedding bed!

"Wang Hong, if we cannot receive the blessings of heaven and earth and be happily married by tomorrow's ceremony, your life may be in danger. I will definitely rescue you with my great-grandmother!"

Seeing Lu Qingyuan's serious expression, Wang Hong's heart skipped a beat, but he forced a smile and said, "With Lao Deng here, I'm not afraid!"

Lu Qingyuan simply stared at Wang Hong, gently inserting the phoenix crown in her hand into Wang Hong's beautiful hair. The starlight that fell made their faces look like fairies, but she didn't say another word.

The two remained silent for some time, until Wang Hong even closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Feeling someone stroking his face, Wang Hong opened his eyes and asked, "When will the wedding procession arrive?"

"I don't know. I will stay here and wait for your ceremony to end."

Lu Wantang reappeared in the room and said softly, "Wang Hong, let's go to Lingyue Pavilion now and wait for the wedding procession to arrive!"

"The people from Lingyuexuan can't wait any longer!"

Before Wang Hong could reply, he felt himself lose his balance. All he could see was endless darkness, with only occasional glimmers of light. Only Lu Wantang held him by the shoulders, preventing him from falling.

When the light appeared in his eyes, he had already returned to Lingyue Pavilion and was standing in the bridal chamber where Lu Qingyuan had previously been.

He now realized that it was already daylight outside.

This is only the third day since we arrived in the Four Continents!

The room was now bustling with noise!

"Young clan leader, we've been looking everywhere for you! Quickly change and bathe, the auspicious time is approaching!"

"Young clan leader, I've been looking for you everywhere! Hurry and change your clothes, the auspicious time is approaching!"

? ? ? ? ?

Wait, why is there an old lady here?

Wang Hong was pressed down in front of the dressing table by seven or eight fox-girls, and a face of unparalleled beauty was reflected in the bronze mirror.

The three treasures he wore made Wang Hong look like a celestial being descended to earth!

Wang Hong couldn't help but reach up and touch his cheek. Damn, how could this woman be so beautiful!

"The young clan leader looks remarkably well today; his features even possess a touch of heroic spirit, making him as handsome and dashing as a young man!"

"Absolutely! Wearing that phoenix crown makes her look thirty times more beautiful than usual!"

"Young clan leader, why can't I take off your clothes? It's like they're an extension of your body. This servant must bathe you!"

Wang Hong suppressed his anger and sent the flustered maids aside. "Don't bother, this is a secret treasure specially drawn for me by the Eastern Fox Clan! Just wait here!"

The young women exchanged glances, casting questioning looks at the old woman beside the young clan leader.

That old nanny was none other than Lu Wantang! However, at this moment, she concealed her aura, appearing just like an ordinary old lady!

She grinned mischievously and said, "Alright, the young clan leader is naturally beautiful, there's no need for you to embellish her! Just wait aside!"

"Young clan leader, I've come to serve you personally!"
