Time passed quickly, and soon their wedding date was approaching.
During these days, Li Mengyu had become quite familiar with Bai Xiangxue, who was very pleased with her daughter-in-law.
However, Ling Er always seemed to have a look of loss on her face. Although she smiled happily when she saw people, those who paid attention would notice a hint of helplessness in her smile.
On the evening before the wedding, Ye Mingshang was wandering in the mountains when a strong figure appeared in front of him.
This was the path he had to take to return home, and it seemed that this person had been waiting here for him.
"You are getting married."
"That's right."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you."
The conversation was simple, with no excessive words—just a question and a blessing.
"You don't seem to be worried at all, Ye Mingshang."
"Worried? Why should I be worried?" Ye Mingshang replied, puzzled.
"Haha!" Little Tiger chuckled lightly.
"It seems you really don't know."
"What does that mean?" Ye Mingshang frowned.
"Your reaction is so dull; it's not like the Ye Mingshang I know."
"Speak quickly!"
Little Tiger snorted coldly. "The wedding is not just a simple ceremony. After all, you are the Young Master of the Demon Clan and the future heir of the demon race, even though you may not live to see that day."
"You are not only the Young Master of the Demon Clan but also a well-known genius among humans. Your wedding cannot be like that of an ordinary person."
"To be honest, on the day of the wedding, all the young masters will come to challenge you, and there may even be overseas forces that show up uninvited."
"Challenge me? Why?"
"Come on, you can't be this slow. Don't forget your status. Whether as the Young Master of the Demon Clan or as the most promising genius to become an immortal in a century, you are someone other geniuses want to step on."
"As long as they defeat you that day, with all the major forces watching, they will gain fame throughout the world, while your reputation will be completely ruined. Not just you; even our demon clan will lose face."
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Although you are strong—much stronger than I am—there will always be geniuses and opportunities in this world. You are not invincible."
After saying this, Little Tiger walked away without looking back.
"Oh, by the way, I will also make my move on that day."
Will there be challenges?
Hmph! Then bring it on.
Ye Mingshang did not take this challenge seriously. Not to mention the younger generation, even among the older generation, those who could exchange a few moves with him were rare.
However, very few people knew about his ascension to immortality.
The only ones who accurately knew were Underworld River, Bai Xiangxue, and the Four Great Vajras who were present last time; even the other four Vajras were unaware.
Li Mengyu had known for a long time, but she would never spread it around.
Aside from that, he had only revealed his advanced powers in front of Wang Sijin. With his intelligence, it is highly likely that he already knew the truth about Ye Mingshang's ascension.
However, he probably wouldn't be idle enough to go around talking about it.
This means that the strength attributed to him in the outside world still remains at the peak of Celestial Master.
Among the younger generation, he had not encountered anyone with the strength of a Human Immortal, but he had seen those with the strength of a Celestial Master, even at the peak level.
Some of those individuals were true geniuses who cultivated step by step, while others inherited their powers like Unprincipled.
Regardless of which type they were, both were typically proud and arrogant individuals.
Over the years, he had been regarded as the strongest genius, and others certainly would not be willing to accept being inferior to him. After all, no one wants to feel lesser than others.
So on the day of his wedding, if there was a martial arts competition, many would surely be eager to participate and show off their skills.
Moreover, given Underworld River's style, not directly stating his ascension was likely intended to allow him to overshadow everyone else that day and astonish the crowd.
Although he wasn't fond of others using underhanded tactics at his wedding, since it was Underworld River, he would just have to endure it.
Moreover, he was actually quite looking forward to what that moment would be like.
At that time, he wouldn't need to use his full strength; just being slightly stronger than his opponent would be enough to defeat him.
In the end, after a good fight, he would unleash all his power, letting everyone know what he was capable of.
This way, it would be more convincing and intimidating than if he simply told others that he had become an immortal.
Shaking off the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Ye Mingshang returned home.
"Ah, it smells so good! What delicious food is being made?"
From a distance, Ye Mingshang could already smell an enticing aroma.
"Welcome back! Come eat," Bai Xiangxue called out.
"I'll wash my face first."
Over here, Li Mengyu had already served everyone their rice.
"Here you go, Ling'er."
Ling'er took the bowl of rice and smiled slightly, "Thank you."
As they ate, Ye Mingshang noticed that Ling'er was unusually quiet and couldn't help but ask, "Ling'er, why aren't you eating? Are you not feeling well?"
"I'm fine," Ling'er replied with a smile.
"Bai Xiangxue asked, 'Mingshang, where did you go just now?'
'Oh, I just wandered around a bit.'
'You’re getting married in a few days, so you can’t keep doing this. You know the Gu Family is aware, don’t be like your dad.'
'Yeah, I know.'
Hearing this, Ye Mingshang smiled and agreed.
Ling'er looked a bit down and stood up. 'I’m full.'
Then she stepped away.
Ye Mingshang found it strange and finished the rice in his bowl. 'Ling'er seems unwell; I’ll go check on her.'
Under the starry night, Ling'er sat alone on the rooftop, staring blankly at the stars.
'Why are you up here looking at the stars all by yourself?'
Upon hearing this, Ling'er turned around. 'Ye Mingshang Brother.'
Ye Mingshang came over and sat beside her.
'Why aren’t you eating? Are you feeling unwell?'
'No,' Ling'er shook her head."
"Oh." Ye Mingshang nodded.
"Then, is there something on your mind?"
Ling'er remained silent, neither denying nor confirming.
"It seems there is. What is it? Can you tell me?"
Ling'er bit her lip, struggling with a question in her heart.
"Brother, are you really getting married?" In the end, Ling'er managed to voice her thoughts.
"Yes, it should be in the next few days."
"Then, you must be very happy, right?"
"Of course, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." Ye Mingshang nodded uncertainly.
"Then, I wish you happiness and joy." Ling'er bit her lip, feeling downcast.
"Thank you, but you don't seem happy."
"Ye Mingshang Brother, you know my feelings, don't you?" Ling'er looked up, her big eyes glistening as she gazed at Ye Mingshang. (To be continued.)
