Xiang Xueer leaped forward, holding Fuxi Qin in one hand as she jumped over the rooftops and arrived at the back door. Fat Ancestor had been waiting there impatiently and, upon seeing Xiang Xueer return, asked, "How did it go? Did you bring Fuxi Qin?"
"I'll handle it, don't worry!" Xiang Xueer proudly tossed Fuxi Qin into the fat man's hands. She turned around to look at her surroundings and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Why haven't Ling Zhu and the others arrived yet?"
"Ling Zhu? Who's that?" The fat man looked around for a long time. "I've been here for half a day, and no one else has come!"
What’s going on? Could it be that they haven’t succeeded yet? Xiang Xueer started to feel anxious. Just then, Duck came running back from the street across, panting heavily. Upon seeing Xiang Xueer, she rushed over and hugged her leg while crying, "Sister, I finally found you! I thought I was going to die!"
Duck wiped her snot and tears on Xiang Xueer's pants. Fat Ancestor frowned as he stared at Duck's plump backside and poked her, saying, "Hey, I’m telling you, girl, this isn’t our dinner for tonight, is it?"
Duck's forehead bulged with veins as she turned to glare fiercely at Fat Ancestor. "Where did this fat guy come from? He actually wants to eat me! I'm telling you, my sister won't let you get away with it!"
Everything was a mess. Xiang Xueer frowned as she glanced down the street where Duck had come from and asked in confusion, "Hey, why are you the only one here? Where are Ling Zhu and Li Yunyang?"
Duck shrugged her shoulders with an indifferent expression. "Sister, don’t think about him anymore. That shameless man is about to marry Gunaara!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Xueer's face darkened. What’s going on? Li Yunyang hasn’t gotten away yet? Didn’t Ling Zhu and the others go looking for him? That guy must have forgotten who he is out of joy!
Just then, Ling Zhu and Lian Cheng Xue came running over, panting heavily. Upon seeing Xiang Xueer and Duck here, they shook their heads continuously. "It’s no use; we’re too late. Li Yunyang has been controlled by that clan leader using poison and has obediently been taken to the Wedding Hall to get married!"
What? Sweat finally dripped down Xiang Xueer's forehead. This idiot usually isn’t weak; how could he mess up at such a critical moment? She anxiously bit her lip and said, "What do we do now? We can’t just barge in and snatch him away! If the clan leader finds out, our faces will be plastered all over the streets tomorrow, and we’ll be hunted down throughout the city!"
Ling Zhu glanced sideways at Duck standing nearby and suddenly revealed an evil smile. "Hehe, I have a plan that won’t get us hunted down but will make them release him willingly."
"Oh? Really? What’s the plan?" Upon hearing Ling Zhu say this, everyone quickly gathered around. After Ling Zhu let out a mischievous laugh, everyone was immediately stunned.
"No way! I don’t want to!" Duck's face darkened as she shook her head vigorously and turned to run away. Without saying a word, Ling Zhu grabbed her up with one hand, bundled her tightly with the package behind her, and turned toward the main hall.
Li Yunyang still had a dazed expression, standing in the center with a smile, wearing a big red flower around his neck. On the other side, Gunaara, who was forcibly pulled over by the clan leader, obediently held the other end of the red cloth.
In an instant, all the guests' attention was focused on the newlyweds. The clan leader sat in the middle of the high hall with a smile, and then Matchmaker began to shout: "The bride and groom bow to heaven and earth!"
One looked dazed and seemed to know nothing but smiled, while the other was awkward and unwilling. Housekeeper urged and pressed, finally getting them through the first bow.
Everyone present found it quite strange; it seemed like an extremely reluctant wedding. Then the two turned their heads, and Matchmaker shouted again: "Second bow to the high hall."
"Couples bow!" Just as they finished bowing to the clan leader and were about to bow to each other, a loud shout suddenly erupted from behind: "You can't bow!"
Everyone turned their heads to see Ling Zhu raising one hand high while holding a dark object in the other. The clan leader sitting in the high seat frowned immediately: "Who is it? Why can't they bow?"
Xiang Xueer and Lian Cheng Xue, who were secretly peeking from the back door, broke into a cold sweat. It seemed only Ling Zhu could come up with such a dirty trick, but they hoped it wouldn't backfire!
Ling Zhu charged directly towards Li Yunyang, grabbing his clothes and crying out bitterly: "You heartless scoundrel! You abandoned us mother and daughter to go fight in the Arena. Why is my life so miserable!"
"Ah?" The wedding venue instantly fell into chaos as everyone began to chatter: "No way, he's married? Look at her holding a child! Oh my God, she has a child and still dares to fight in the Arena!"
"What?" Gunaara lifted her veil and looked at Ling Zhu, who had suddenly appeared with her so-called child in her arms. What was going on? A heartbroken ex-wife causing a scene at a wedding? This was indeed dramatic.
However, she suddenly felt pleased. Gunaara had always been interested in Xiang Xueer and didn't want to marry Li Yunyang, so she quickly went to her father's side: "Dad, he actually has a wife and child! I can't marry him!"
"This... how could this happen?" The clan leader was also confused and furious. He glared at Li Yunyang, then turned to Ling Zhu and asked, "You say he is your husband? What proof do you have?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhu immediately revealed the tightly wrapped Duck: "We already have a child together! What more proof do we need? Look, this dark skin is exactly the same!"
Just as Duck was about to be wrapped up like a mummy by Ling Zhu, he suddenly stretched out his arms and shouted at Li Yunyang, "Dad!"
Li Yunyang still had a smile on his face, with his eyebrows raised, looking at everyone. Ling Zhu pointed at his face and exclaimed, "Look, he has already admitted it and is still smiling."
The clan leader, feeling frustrated, slapped his forehead and angrily pointed at Li Yunyang, shouting, "Someone, throw this guy out! I never want to see him again."
"Yes!" Two Housekeepers immediately grabbed Li Yunyang and dragged him out the door. Ling Zhu, holding Duck, quickly followed behind. With a loud bang, the door slammed shut, ruining what was supposed to be a nice wedding.
Xiang Xueer and Lian Cheng Xue hurriedly circled around from the back door. Ling Zhu proudly placed her hands on her hips and said, "How was that? My acting wasn't bad, right?"
"It was good, but let's hurry!" Xiang Xueer thought of Gunaara and felt a chill run down her spine. She turned to look at Li Yunyang, who was dazed and silly, just grinning without understanding anything she said.
As Duck began to unwrap himself from the cloth, he pouted and leaned towards Ling Zhu, saying, "Mom, I want milk!"
"Eat your sister!" Ling Zhu punched Duck on the head, causing a big bump to form. "Let's get out of here quickly; if they find out we’re lying, we’ll really be wanted all over the city!"
The group quickly left the house and returned to the inn they had been in before. Seeing Li Yunyang still grinning foolishly in one spot, Xiang Xueer could no longer hold back and turned to Fat Ancestor, saying, "Please help us break this curse!"
Upon hearing this, Fat Ancestor quickly shook his head. "I can't handle it; this curse can only be undone by the one who cast it. That means only the clan leader who released the centipede can break it."
"What?" How could this be? Ling Zhu looked at Li Yunyang's unchanged expression. "This is troublesome; he can't be like this for the rest of his life!"
