Chapter 41: Lin Feng's Wedding
Lin Feng escorted her home, traversing the Azure Wind Mountain Range.
Within the forest, all ferocious beasts, regardless of their rank, knelt and submitted upon seeing Lin Feng. The beasts, with their keen sense of smell, recognized Lin Feng's unmatched cultivation and understood she was a terrifying presence.
Upon reaching the depths of the forest, they arrived at the front of a wooden house.
Yaya rushed out and entered the cabin. Inside, it was empty, with no sign of the Red-Butt Macaque. Missing her mother, she let out a sorrowful call into the depths of the forest.
The Azure Wind Mountain Range trembled, a rumbling sound echoing through the air. It felt as if the mountain range was about to flip over. A massive shadow loomed above, towering over the mountains like a giant.
Finally, the enormous shadow shrank down, revealing the Red-Butt Macaque.
In a swift leap, she jumped into her mother's embrace, rubbing her head affectionately against her. Now at a level comparable to spiritual beasts, she surpassed the Legendary Realm of humanity. She could survive without a Dragon Pearl and was an extraordinarily powerful being.
Within her lay the Bloodline of the Divine Monkey, making her physical form unparalleled. Even Lin Feng felt inferior in comparison.
"Senior, are you alright?" Lin Feng asked upon noticing the strong scent of decay emanating from the Red-Butt Macaque. With his current foundation, he could tell that her lifespan was running short.
The Red-Butt Macaque replied in a deep voice, "I'm fine; I can still hold on for a while."
Lin Feng continued, "Senior, I know about your past with Senior Stone Monkey."
"Is that so?"
The Red-Butt Macaque's expression turned nostalgic as she reflected for a moment before saying, "Thinking back, it has already been ten thousand years. The Hell Realm severed the connection to our realm and no longer supplies us with boundless divine power. The cycle of life and death has gradually become unrelated to our realm; beings grow old. Our realm went to war with the Hell Realm, and the Demon Realm joined in."
In that battle, countless lives were lost—more than ever before. After that battle, the Court, the Hell Realm, and the Demon Realm all vanished, permanently.
Upon hearing this, Li Nanfeng was left speechless. After a long pause, he asked, "Did Emperor Huang participate in that battle as well?"
The Red-Butt Macaque nodded. "Generally speaking, a star can only have one Emperor. The divine energy required to cultivate as an Emperor is immense. A single star cannot sustain two Emperors."
"Indeed, Emperor Huang is the strongest among all the Emperors. Only he fought until the end and managed to preserve this star from destruction."
"You see the darkness of the starry sky now, but it wasn't always like this. Long ago, on the other side of the distant cosmos, there were stars similar to Desolate Star, teeming with life."
"Because of that world-ending battle, everything was shattered. The starry sky has been dim ever since."
"What? The darkness of the starry sky has such a reason?"
Lin Feng was astonished; this was beyond his understanding. Even his senior brother probably knew little about these matters. A millennium of Apocalyptic War had led to the disappearance of the Court, the Hell Realm, and the Demon Realm. What would happen in this new era? What would become of Desolate Star? And Earth?
"Senior, do you know my master's whereabouts?" Lin Feng asked. Perhaps only the Red-Butt Macaque could discern where his master was.
The Red-Butt Macaque gazed at the starry sky and said, "Though the Court has collapsed, it hasn't truly perished. It has been occupied by the Demon King of the Demon Realm. The Demon King absorbed the remnants of its power to restore himself. Meanwhile, the Ghost King from Hell Realm has come to Desolate Star to absorb powerful Primordial Spirits for his own recovery."
"Think about it; ten thousand years have passed."
Another great demon had emerged, and Lin Feng felt overwhelmed. He said, "Have they recovered? They must at least be at Imperial Realm cultivation level. How can we fight against two Emperors?"
"Ten thousand years is enough time for them to recover. Unfortunately, their revival was interrupted."
"Back then, Shishu went out to eliminate the court. Although he ultimately died in battle, he severely injured the Demon King, making his situation even worse. He is still in the process of recovery."
"Later, Market found traces of the Ghost King, and under Battle, the Ghost King fled, not fully recovered. After enduring two lifetimes of injuries, it is incredibly difficult for him to return to his peak cultivation. Unless they choose to start over," Red-Butt Macaque said.
"Even if he can't recover to the Imperial Realm, at least he should reach the Quasi-Emperor Realm. If our master reaches the Quasi-Emperor Realm, one person won't be enough," Lin Feng expressed his concerns.
Red-Butt Macaque replied, "The opponent is not just two Preparatory Emperors; there is also a stronger presence lurking in the shadows. When Shishu was demonized back then, it was not only due to the joint efforts of the Demon King and the Ghost King but also because a powerful figure intervened secretly."
Lin Feng recalled and said, "The Elders mentioned that this person comes from Pujue Temple."
Red-Butt Macaque nodded. "That seems about right. With several Preparatory Emperors present, logically speaking, one of them will eventually become a great emperor. Everyone has grand ambitions."
"Senior, where exactly is my master?" Lin Feng asked again.
Red-Butt Macaque responded, "There exists a passage between the lands. I believe he is there, holding the fort alone."
"Where is that passage?" Lin Feng asked anxiously.
"It's hard to find. I suspect that Old Ghost King hasn't found it either; otherwise, he wouldn't have remained patient until now," Red-Butt Macaque said.
"It seems time is truly of the essence," Lin Feng pondered.
Red-Butt Macaque looked at Lin Feng and said, "You are impressive; your growth has exceeded my expectations."
Lin Feng smiled, feeling a bit happy. Thinking back to their last meeting when she kept repeating how weak she was, things were now quite different. Amidst his joy, Lin Feng said, "Everything I have today is thanks to my senior brothers; I stand on their shoulders to reach where I am now."
"Red-Butt Macaque" shook his head and said, "Everything you have today is due to your own efforts. The path of cultivation is like this: the successful become kings while the failures become outlaws. Do not think that you have received someone else's inheritance or encountered some great opportunity. This is the inevitable road for the strong in their cultivation; there is nothing different about it."
"Lin Feng" quietly contemplated these words, which transformed into the "Great Dao" and entered his body, solidifying his "Cultivation."
A sudden realization dawned upon "Lin Feng," and his eyes cleared significantly. He bowed deeply to "Red-Butt Macaque" and said, "Thank you, senior, for enlightening me; I feel as if a veil has been lifted from my eyes."
After bidding farewell to "Red-Butt Macaque," "Lin Feng" wanted to stay by his side to cultivate. As he left, he felt reluctant and pulled at "Red-Butt Macaque," wanting him to see him off.
This farewell took them all the way to the edge of the mountain range.
"Go back now. I will come to see you," "Lin Feng" smiled and said.
With a leap, "Red-Butt Macaque" landed on "Lin Feng's" shoulder, affectionately hugging his head, which moved "Lin Feng" deeply.
Upon returning to "Qingshan Town," "Lindor" and "Lin Xiao" decided to hold a wedding for "Lin Feng" and "Lin Miaomiao," with an auspicious date already chosen. Upon hearing this news, "Lin Feng" showed a troubled expression.
"Feng'er, why do you look unhappy?" "Zhuo Wanting" asked.
After thinking for a moment, "Lin Feng" decided to explain everything. In recent days, "Wind Spirit" had suffered quite a bit of injustice. He could not let her down regarding such an important matter as marriage.
"Mother, Father, I must confess that 'Wind Spirit' is also my wife," he stated.
"What?" Both "Lindor" and "Zhuo Wanting" exchanged glances in surprise.
At that moment, "Lin Xiao" approached and happened to overhear this conversation. His expression immediately darkened because he knew that the cultivation level of "Wind Spirit" was at the Sage Realm, even stronger than that of his daughter.
All eyes filled with hostility were directed at Wind Spirit. These people were Lin Feng's closest relatives, and Wind Spirit could not afford to offend them, nor did she wish to. At that moment, she realized that everything was wrong, so she chose to remain silent. She believed that Lin Feng would resolve everything. She also trusted that Sister Miao would help her.
Lin Feng was a Sage, and Lin Xiao was not pleased. It was common for men to have multiple wives and concubines. Moreover, Lin Feng had reached such a terrifying level of cultivation. While this was true, it was difficult for Lin Xiao to accept that such a situation was happening with his daughter.
The Lind Couple did not care about any Sage; they could see that the family head's expression was not good.
Zhuo Wanting reproached, "Feng'er, how could you do this? We are not like those wealthy families; we cannot learn their bad habits. How can you face Miaomiao and the family head like this?"
Lindor also expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "Feng'er, whether you are strong or weak, you must not forget your roots. If it weren't for the family head's care for us, how could we be where we are today?"
Lin Feng listened seriously until they finished speaking before replying, "Father, Mother, Family Head. I am sincere towards them and hope to gain your approval and support."
"Feng'er, why haven't you figured it out yet?" Zhuo Wanting said.
At that moment, Lin Miaomiao returned from her errand just in time. After learning the details of the situation, she walked over to Wind Spirit and took her hands in hers. "Uncle, Auntie. Ling'er and I can marry Lin Feng; we are both very satisfied. Lin Feng is truly sincere towards us. Please do not make things difficult for him; this was all my idea; I am the one who brought them together."
Upon hearing Miaomiao's words, Lin Feng and Wind Spirit exchanged grateful glances.
Lin Xiao had remained silent until now but understood that it was his daughter who had orchestrated this. He felt much more at ease. "No wonder she is my daughter; she understands the bigger picture."
Anyone could hear the hint of anger in Lin Xiao's tone.
Lindor added, "Agreement or not, Miaomiao can only act for the greater good."
"That's fine," Lin Feng replied.
The Wind Spirit spoke up, "I have always regarded Miaomiao as my elder sister; she naturally holds a higher status."
"Since that's the case, then it's settled. The wedding will take place fifteen days from now."
As time passed, everyone began to get along, and the prejudice against the Wind Spirit gradually faded away. Soon, the auspicious day arrived. The entire Qingshan Town was adorned with decorations, preparing for the wedding.
Lin Miaomiao and the Wind Spirit dressed up, adorned with gold and silver jewelry, wearing red ceremonial gowns. Both wore expressions of pure happiness as they finally awaited this moment.
Meanwhile, Lin Feng was at his own home, also getting ready. He waited for the right time to go to Lin Miaomiao's house to fetch her.
The parents of the Lind Couple were overjoyed that their son was getting married. They insisted on following all the customs. Every step of the wedding process was meticulously observed, and the entire Qingshan Town came to offer their congratulations.
As far as the eye could see, there were tables filled with wine and crowds of people. (To be continued...)
