EBE Chapter 2: Today, all are married; the Heaven-Burning Overlord Body!
Chapter 2: Today, all are married; the Heaven-Burning Overlord Body!
While Gu Jiancheng was scrutinizing her, Yun Shuiyao simply lowered her eyes, as if everything outside had nothing to do with her.
She was originally the first female emperor of the Nine Netherworld in the Immortal Realm, with unparalleled beauty, who once captivated countless immortal lords. However, during the turmoil in the Immortal Realm, she single-handedly slew seven foreign emperors before dying from exhaustion.
It was only through the rebirth power of the Nine Netherworld Phoenix, the Emperor Soul within its body, that it was able to be reborn.
However, she never expected that after being reborn, she would be stripped of her life soul, her appearance would be ruined, and she would be abandoned by her family and offered to the Great Qian royal family!
"The Great Emperor from Another Land, the Yun Family!"
"Once Yunshuiyao recovers its cultivation and combat power, it will annihilate you one by one!"
As Yun Shuiyao pondered this, her delicate hand suddenly clenched tightly in her sleeve.
"Father, I have chosen Yun Shuiyao, the daughter of the Yun family, and I want to marry her!"
But at that moment, Gu Jiancheng's voice boomed like thunder, echoing throughout the golden hall.
Under everyone's gaze, Yun Shuiyao's eyes were also filled with astonishment as she looked at Gu Jiancheng.
He actually chose someone as ordinary as himself?
It is said that the sixth prince is a womanizer, and many women are infatuated with him.
Dressed in white, with silver hair and a jade crown, her body was like a green bamboo and her face like a white fox, making her appear particularly aloof and extraordinary.
Especially her eyes, which were like stars.
It's a pity that such a beautiful face was wasted on a weak body, and her youthful appearance could not last forever.
Yun Shuiyao sneered inwardly. Now she just wanted to settle down. This sixth prince was a born waste, and she could keep her chastity.
Perhaps there are miraculous elixirs and precious medicines within the Great Qian Imperial Palace that can help her recover her shattered dantian as soon as possible. Once her soul awakens again, how can the Sixth Prince possibly hold her back?
So what if you're born good-looking? That's all!
"Sixth Brother, are you serious?"
On the golden hall, Gu Chenyuan couldn't help but frown. He had originally chosen Liu Ruyan for Gu Jiancheng, after all, the Liu family had the strongest foundation, and Liu Ruyan's talent and appearance were also excellent.
“Father, your mind is made up.” Gu Jiancheng nodded heavily.
What a joke! The Empress is reincarnated? Do you think she's comparable to any other mortal woman?
"Then I grant your permission!" Gu Chenyuan sighed, but ultimately agreed.
He always granted Gu Jiancheng's requests.
"Humph!"
Seeing that Gu Chenyuan had spoken with absolute certainty and that the marriage was a done deal, Liu Ruyan and the others were immediately filled with shame and anger.
They all came here for Gu Jiancheng, but unexpectedly, a discarded daughter of the Yun family became the final winner!
"Since you have all made your choices, let's pick a date and hold the wedding." After the Third Prince and the others had chosen their future imperial consorts, Gu Chenyuan spoke again.
But Gu Jiancheng stood up directly, cupped his hands and said, "Father, today is an auspicious day, why don't you let me get married today!"
For the sake of the Empress and the arrival of the system, Gu Jiancheng couldn't wait a moment longer.
Everyone: "???"
Isn't this a bit too hasty?
Even Yun Shuiyao couldn't help but wonder. She didn't understand what the Sixth Prince saw in her.
"allow!"
Gu Chenyuan paused for a moment, then called over a eunuch and said solemnly, "Issue my imperial decree: today the sixth prince is conferred the title of king, and the four princes are getting married at the same time. The whole court shall celebrate, and a general amnesty shall be granted!"
"Yes!" The eunuch bowed and withdrew, and then the imperial bell rang nine times, announcing to the world.
The royal family is extremely efficient. Before nightfall, the Sixth Prince's palace was already brightly lit and decorated with lanterns.
But when Gu Jiancheng put on his dragon-patterned wedding robes, he found that not a single official had arrived in the vast mansion.
The empty banquet felt incredibly desolate.
"What about people?"
Gu Jiancheng's expression immediately turned cold.
"Your Highness, all the officials are waiting outside the gate and refuse to come in. They want to protest Your Highness's marriage," the red-clad eunuch beside him said in a trembling voice.
"protest?"
Gu Jiancheng was taken aback upon hearing this, then a cold sneer appeared on his lips, "I'd like to see who dares to stop me from getting married!"
When Gu Jiancheng arrived outside the palace gate, he indeed saw the officials of the Great Qian Dynasty standing in neat rows, their expressions solemn.
"Your Highness, we humbly request that you cancel the wedding and refuse to marry Yun Shuiyao!"
However, before Gu Jiancheng could speak, all the officials knelt down on the ground in unison, their voices resounding.
"Refuse to marry Yunshuiyao?" Gu Jiancheng laughed in anger.
"Sixth Prince, the head of the Yun family has unusual hair and a face covered with ferocious markings. He must be a demon, and he may cause chaos in the palace!"
"Your Highness, I urge you to prioritize the well-being of the Great Qian Dynasty and not be bewitched by this enchantress. Liu Ruyan, the head of the Liu family, is a woman of both beauty and talent, virtuous and kind, and is a perfect match for you!"
Among the assembled officials, the two leading figures stepped forward, one of whom was fully armored and exuded a powerful aura.
The other one had white hair and beard, and a face like an old tree.
"Ha ha……"
Gu Jiancheng, however, merely grinned maliciously and bent down to sit on the back of the eunuch kneeling behind him.
"Lord Ningchuan, half a month ago, someone from the Liu family secretly sent you a box of ancient tea. If I'm not mistaken, there were ten low-grade spirit stones inside, right?"
"And you, Grand Secretary Zhang Wei, just half a month ago, the Liu family also secretly sent a hundred beauties to your residence."
As Gu Jiancheng's voice fell, both of them trembled violently, their clothes soaked with sweat.
How could the Sixth Prince know all about such a secret?!
Looking at the two trembling figures, Gu Jiancheng sneered inwardly.
Everyone regarded him as a frivolous prince who was ignorant and incompetent.
Little did people know that his frequenting of brothels and squandering of his wealth was not due to his indulgence in women, but rather because he made friends with countless people from all walks of life.
Over the past decade or so, he has laid out an invisible net throughout the entire Great Qian Dynasty, and no news can escape his notice!
"You people engage in such despicable acts, yet you dare to falsely claim that my Imperial Consort is causing chaos in the palace and harming the nation!?"
"You are the real traitors to the country, the parasites of the court!"
Gu Jiancheng's voice was like thunder, shaking the hearts and minds of all officials, who immediately fell silent in fear.
At this moment, the usually flamboyant sixth prince seemed like a stranger to them.
It even revealed a hint of a monarch's domineering ambition!
"The matter of bestowing this marriage is the Emperor's decree, and it is an imperial decree!"
"Before Father Emperor arrives, I'll give you only three breaths to get into my manor, lick the food clean, drink the wine to the last drop, and smile until your mouths are sore!"
"If any of you dare to utter a single word about my Imperial Consort again, as long as I remain in the capital, I will exterminate your entire clan!"
He, Gu Jiancheng's woman, cannot tolerate gossip from others!
As soon as Gu Jiancheng finished speaking, the officials exchanged glances and then scrambled into the Sixth Prince's residence.
The emperor dotes on the sixth prince, and now this sixth prince is very likely to have all their secrets. It is no joke that he will exterminate their entire clan!
"Humph!"
Seeing this, Gu Jiancheng got up and prepared for the wedding ceremony.
……
After offering tea and paying respects to heaven and earth, the bright moon was already high in the sky.
Inside the bustling wedding hall, a slightly tipsy Gu Jiancheng had just seen off the last group of guests when the long-awaited system notification sound came with a gentle breeze, making him shiver.
"Ding! Congratulations on your marriage, host! A newbie gift pack is awarded!"
The new player gift pack has finally arrived!
[New Player Gift Pack]: Burning Heaven Overlord Body*1, Emperor's Will Experience Card*1, Four Symbols Realm Summoning Card*1, Dao Palace Realm Summoning Card*3
The Heaven-Burning Overlord Body!?
Upon seeing the first reward, Gu Jiancheng was visibly shaken, instantly sobering up completely.
[Burning Heaven Overlord Body]: The number one imperial body in all realms, using all things as a furnace to burn and refine heaven and earth!
The Number One Imperial Body in All Realms!?
What level is this?
You should know that in the world he knows, the strongest physique is the Immortal Body. The so-called Immortal Body has the potential to break through to the Immortal Realm and ascend to heaven!
And this Heaven-Burning Overlord Body is not only an imperial body, but also the number one in all realms?
It's like a heifer chasing a bull—that's incredibly awesome!
