The Tempestuous Consort – Wilfully Pampered by the Beastly Highness Chapter 585 - Your Husband Could Hold Up The Sky for You

Chapter 585: Your Husband Could Hold Up The Sky for You

Wu Yuan carried Gu Nansheng into the bridal sedan and sat with her in his arms. The celebratory Suona horn rang as they made their way towards Evanesce City.

Feng Tianlan and Si Mobai trailed the bridal sedan on their horses. Feng Tianlan stared at the sedan resting on steady shoulders, seemingly cut off from the world.

Upon seeing that, Si Mobai felt his heart throb in pain. However, there was nothing he could do.

It was not enough to protect her alone, Si Mobai realized. He must also protect those that she cared deeply for. He would never want to see her like that again!

As before, Wu Qi hugged his horse’s nape as he rode it, looking like he had lost all interest in life. Tears were now streaming down his face silently. He had truly lost all interest in life, unlike back then when he still could joke around and taunt about s.n.a.t.c.hing the bride.

Everything was proceeding as normal, but how the situation had changed!

News about Gu Nansheng’s death had long spread to places even as far as Evanesce City. Thus, while the wedding still seemed like a boisterous affair, there was a lack of heartfelt blessings and celebration. The crowd could only sigh about fate’s cruelties and speculate all sorts of conspiracy theories regarding this wedding.

Feng Tianlan sat in the guest section. Raising her eyes, she could see the matron of honor supporting Gu Nansheng’s body as she helped her complete the ceremony with Wu Yuan. She listened as the Master of Ceremonies declared for them to make their first bow to heaven and earth.

The mayor of Evanesce City, sitting at the high hall where elders were seated, could hardly stay on his chair. He felt as though he had been seen through by Feng Tianlan’s gaze, and it unsettled him.

Feng Tianlan was the Queen that he had been looking for!

He had angered the Queen!

He even sent someone to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Queen!

He was not afraid of Feng Tianlan. The person he was terrified of was his King!

Every time he thought of that, he would feel tiny strands of cold sweat forming in his back. Especially when he was under Feng Tianlan’s piercing gaze, which always made him feel like he was sitting on a bed of needles. He wished that he could run away.

It was an arduous wait, but the ceremony was finally over. The mayor of Evanesce City entertained his guests perfunctorily, then quickly found an excuse and left.

Little did he know, all of his actions did not escape the eyes of Si Mobai.

As it was a strange wedding banquet indeed, most of the guests did not stay for long. They quickly excused themselves and left.

On the second day of the wedding, they held the funeral.

With everything settled, three days had gone by since that fateful day. It was time to exact revenge!

“Gu Yun’s in Evanesce City.”

Upon hearing these words, Feng Tianlan raised her head and looked at Si Mobai in confusion.

“I’ve sent my men to investigate. Gu Yun was last seen in Evanesce City. This city is where she went into hiding.”

Feng Tianlan’s body stiffened, then said coldly, “Even if I were to blow this place up, I would dig her out.”

“You should rest, and leave the rest to your husband — me.” Si Mobai looked at her face, so pale that it was almost devoid of any color. It was difficult to watch. She had lost too much blood, and her Spiritual Force was in disarray. She was covered in wounds, and there was no way she could still go on.

Feng Tianlan shook her head. She would like to do this herself.

“Xi Jin and Shen Yunya are engaged,” Si Mobai informed.

Feng Tianlan froze for a second.

“The day of their wedding is set on next year, April 12.” They have half a year left!

Feng Tianlan’s body froze even more. April 12 two years ago was the day she died a horrible death. Shen Yunya had intentionally chosen that date.

“Lan’er, I’m not a useless man. I can hold up the sky for you as well.” Si Mobai took her hand and nudged his fingers tightly into his, saying, “Leave everything to me. You’re responsible for attaining cultivation and developing, while your husband will destroy those despicable lowlife out to harm you. If there comes a day where I can no longer fight alone, that’s when we fight together!”

His hands were large enough to wrap her small, delicate hands; his chest thick enough to weather the storms for her. He could hold up the sky for her to be as arrogant and outlandish as she wanted. He was strong enough to protect both her and her friends.

Until the day when he met an even stronger opponent, when he was genuinely unable to hold it up any longer, that’s when she would stand up and fight with him!

He was her husband — it was natural for her to rely on him, and for him to protect her!
