The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

Chapter 108 Publicly Abducting the Bride

Night fell over the Chu residence, its bright lights illuminating the entire courtyard and halls. A burst of excited shouts shattered the night's tranquility: "The auspicious hour has arrived! Invite the newlyweds!"

In this solemn and joyous atmosphere, the two newlyweds, dressed in magnificent red wedding gowns, slowly walked through the hall. Their steps were light and elegant, as if they were walking on clouds. Every step attracted the attention of the guests present, who all gazed at the newlyweds with eyes full of blessings and anticipation.

As the emcee gave the command, "First bow to Heaven and Earth!" The groom, with a smile and a hint of cunning in his eyes, deliberately glanced at his bride beside him before bowing deeply. The bride seemed hesitant, as if she was somewhat unwilling, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, she ultimately had no choice but to follow the groom in bowing.

However, Madam Chu, seated in the main seat, had a cold and stern expression, devoid of any joy. She silently observed her daughter's expression, her heart filled with worry and helplessness. She clenched her fists, as if trying to suppress her inner unease.

The guests below also had their own thoughts. Some looked surprised, while others felt regret. This wedding banquet should have been a joyous and celebratory event, but at this moment, a subtle atmosphere permeated the air, revealing unusual signs everywhere.

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!" As the master of ceremonies chanted, the groom turned to look at the woman in her red wedding dress, a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes; instead, his eyes were filled with greed. This penetrating and cloying gaze seemed to pierce through the red veil and land directly on Chu Liuli, making her feel nauseous. She gripped the red silk in her hand tightly, her heart filled with resentment and unwillingness, but in the end, she reluctantly prepared to lower her head to complete the ceremony.

However, at that moment, a sudden voice rang out: "Something's wrong! Someone has forced their way into the Chu residence!"

The sound was like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering the previously joyous and peaceful atmosphere. Immediately afterward, "Bang!!!" another deafening crash rang out as the mansion gate was violently smashed open, and a chaotic mix of footsteps and noises created a scene of utter disarray.

Everyone looked up in astonishment, their gazes all fixed on the person entering the doorway. The newcomer, dressed in the same wedding attire as the groom, possessed a handsome face and a tall, upright figure, strode confidently into the mansion. Beside him followed a mysterious man wearing a silver-white mask, which shimmered with an eerie light under the bright moonlight, making him particularly eye-catching.

This sudden turn of events struck everyone present like a thunderbolt, leaving them all stunned and speechless for a moment. Chu Liuli, however, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while at the same time developing a sense of curiosity about this uninvited guest.

The masked man said in a deep voice, "I apologize for bothering you all. We are here today only to kidnap a bride! I hope you will not take offense." His tone was calm as water, but the determination within it was undeniable.

The voice sounded familiar, and everyone turned to look. A young man with an extraordinary air, wearing a silver-white mask, slowly walked in. This was none other than Ye Qingyang!

No sooner had Ye Qingyang finished speaking than the master of ceremonies' reprimanding voice rang out: "How dare you! Who are you to cause trouble at the Chu family's wedding banquet!"

At this moment, the groom, Ye Wuhen, instantly turned extremely gloomy. He never expected that someone would come to disturb his good time. Moreover, when he saw the person's face clearly, an inexplicable anger surged within him. Because this uninvited guest was none other than his old acquaintance—Fu Yan.

Ye Wuhen narrowed his eyes, staring intently at Fu Yan, and said in a deep voice, "Fu Yan, I didn't expect you to have fully recovered. However, today is my wedding day with Liuli, and if you were here as a guest, I, Ye Wuhen, would naturally welcome you with the utmost hospitality. But what exactly is the meaning behind your actions now?"

Fu Yan stepped forward slightly, first giving Madam Chu a proper bow, and then said, "Madam Chu, thanks to the miraculous healing skills of the divine physician, Fu Yan has fully recovered. Here, I would like to report something to you. I have known Miss Liuli since childhood, and we can be considered childhood sweethearts. Our two families have long been engaged, and we are just waiting for an auspicious day to hold the wedding. Today, I humbly request that Madam fulfill the engagement and allow Fu Yan to marry into the Chu family and become Liuli's husband."

Ye Wuhen watched helplessly as Fu Yan not only ruined his plans but also tried to steal his marriage. A surge of anger welled up within him; veins bulged on his forehead. Unable to contain his rage any longer, he roared, "Fu Yan!!!"

However, Ye Qingyang simply said, "Noisy!" Then, he moved like lightning, appearing in front of the master of ceremonies in the blink of an eye. A sharp sword had appeared in his hand, its blade gleaming coldly, and a drop of blood was slowly dripping from its tip.

Just then, something unexpected happened. Ye Wuhen, who had been standing ramrod straight, suddenly collapsed without warning, his head rolling to the side with a thud, blood splattering everywhere.

The sudden bloody scene terrified the guests present, who screamed and ran in all directions, plunging the entire scene into chaos.

The emcee was terrified, his body stiff and unable to move, beads of sweat constantly appearing on his forehead. Ye Qingyang, on the other hand, had icy eyes, a cold glint flashing in his pupils.

Suddenly, everyone seemed to be frozen in place, their faces filled with terror, unable to move an inch. At that moment, they stood there like statues, time seemingly standing still.

Ye Qingyang looked at everyone present and said, "I am Chu Xingyun's personal disciple. Now that my master has passed away, if anyone tries to take over the Chu family's assets, they will have to ask me first if I agree!"

His voice was loud and clear, resounding throughout the hall, and everyone was awestruck by his imposing presence. Following this, Ye Qingyang continued, "When my master was alive, he arranged a marriage between the Fu family and the Fu family. Today, I ask that you all be my witnesses to this happy union of Young Master Fu and Miss Chu. I hope you will all attend the ceremony, so that you may not end up like those hypocritical villains and suffer a miserable fate!"

Before he finished speaking, Ye Qingyang waved his hand and released the restraints. However, no one dared to run around or shout anymore, fearing that they might accidentally separate their bodies from their heads. Everyone returned to their seats in fear and unease, secretly glad that they hadn't acted rashly. Soon, some people began to tidy up the chaotic situation.

Ye Qingyang casually pulled up a stool and sat down steadily to the side, his sharp eyes scanning the crowd. His presence was like a mountain, suppressing everyone present and inspiring awe in all who saw him.

Although Madam Chu's face remained expressionless, her heart was in turmoil. She realized that Ye Qingyang was definitely not someone to be trifled with. A terrifying thought surfaced in her mind: this person must not be easily provoked. However, she still had too many unanswered questions. But under these circumstances, she could only force herself to remain calm and not reveal any weakness.

Chu Liuli relaxed. Marrying Fu Yan was better than marrying Ye Wuhen, but she was still full of questions and could only ask them after the wedding.

The wedding started again, but the groom was changed halfway through, and this time it went very smoothly.

The hall was filled with guests, and everyone was toasting each other with their own thoughts. It would have been better if they had just ignored the fear in their eyes!
