Ultragene Warlord

Chapter 714: The Scene of the Wedding

Duan Gen could feel the killing intent gathering by Zhang Lie's body. If he didn't do as Zhang Lie demanded, Zhang Lie really might kill him!

Just as he was about to plead for mercy again, Zhang Lie, who was losing his patience, stuffed one heel into his mouth. Then, he looked threateningly at him, then at the other heel.

Duan Gen wanted to shriek, but the heel was a surprisingly effective gag. Finally, unable to take Zhang Lie's glare any longer, he penetrated himself with the heel. Blood fountained out of his ass, and his whole body began to tremble.

Even so, Zhang Lie wasn't done with him just yet. With a quick prod of his fingers, Zhang Lie crippled Duan Gen's cultivation.

By then, Li Qianlin had curled up into a small ball by the edge of the room as though she were a wounded rabbit. "Just who are you?"

Zhang Lie was stronger than Duan Gen. His attention hadn't been directed at her yet, but who was to say he wouldn't suddenly turn on her?

Zhang Lie glanced at her and couldn't help stifling a smile. "Who am I? A prince come to save you in times of need, of course."

Li Qianlin raised an eyebrow. "You liar—you don't look like a prince at all! More like a demon king who wants to steal a princess away."

Zhang Lie's lips quirked. "Will you leave with the demon king, then, princess?"

She felt almost as though she were drowning, and Zhang Lie her only lifeline.

Even so, she resisted. "Father told me not to trust strangers."

"Well, it's not up to you." Zhang Lie lifted Li Qianlin up by force as she began to pound his chest with her fists, but she could do him no harm. All she did was sense the scorching heat radiating from his body, as well as his firm chest.

After all, Li Qianlin's genetic energy had been temporarily sealed.

"What are you doing? Are you really going to abduct me?"

Zhang Lie kicked Duan Gen, who lay in a heap on the ground. "You won't leave? Do you really want to marry this bastard?"

Li Qianlin shook her head violently.

"In that case, leave with me!"

Zhang Lie kicked the door to her rooms open. Her guards and attendants were sprawled on the floor, and Li Qianlin couldn't help but be nervous when she saw their bodies.

Zhang Lie explained, "Don't worry, I didn't kill any of them. They're all just asleep."

Li Qianlin asked, "Where are you bringing me?"

"Anywhere's better than staying behind and marrying that ass, surely?"

A look of revulsion crossed Li Qianlin's face. I don't mind a cripple, but I won't marry a bastard like him."

Zhang Lie smiled with satisfaction—this sounded like the Li Qianlin he knew.

She nodded firmly. "You're right. Anywhere would be better than this."

In his last life, Li Qianlin had broken free from Duan Gen's grasp, kicked him in the groin until his testicles burst, and fled from her wedding. In her race to freedom, she leapt through two different worlds and encountered Zhang Lie for the first time.?Don't worry. I won't hurt you, and I won't let anyone else hurt you!

She had died for him in her past life; in this life, he would make sure her previous sacrifice wasn't for naught. He had the ability to protect her, after all, even against the likes of Duan Zisuan.

Zhang Lie's eyes grew firm, causing Li Qianlin to become even more confused. She had never met this person; why would he do so much for her?

She asked, "I still don't know your name."

"I'm Zhang Lie."

"Zhang Lie..." Li Qianlin murmured.

Zhang Lie glanced at the palace, still adorned in shades of pink and white. "A festive occasion, isn't it? No wonder you're dressed like this."

Li Qianlin blushed. "My clothes are ruined."

"Here, for you."

Zhang Lie tossed her the disaster-grade gown of starry night he had recently obtained.

Li Qianlin was familiar with these curious soulshards that the aliens of the Milky Way were able to procure, and she had some of her own, but nothing of this quality.

Zhang Lie smirked. "For such a wedding to be without a bride and groom is truly a pity..."

"What are you planning?"

"What do you think?"

When Zhang Lie revealed his plan, Li Qianlin glanced at him as though he had grown a second head.

"Are you crazy?!" Were all kidnappers so bold these days?

In the main pavilion, classical music played in the background and the fragrant scent of beautiful, elegant flowers wafted in the air.

The rows of white seats had long since been filled as the guests gathered to witness this historic wedding that would unite the two worlds of east and west.

A priestly middle-aged man stood at the very front of the gathering, a smile on his face as he waited for the bride and groom to arrive.

"Tonight, under the auspices of the moon and the night sky, we shall witness the pairing of two stars." The woman who would moderate and act as hostess for the wedding ceremony stepped out from behind the stage, her voice clear and crisp.

"My goodness—it's Dong Mingxing! She's the hostess for tonight's ceremony!"

Even the guests, famous and influential as they were, were shocked by the choice of hostess.

She was dressed in an elegant but understated close-fitting red dress, cut in such a way that one of her silver-white thighs could barely be seen. A mink shawl was draped over her shoulders. She looked the very picture of mature beauty.

"To think the king of the east would manage to secure the top performer of the world for this wedding—well, I suppose I can hardly expect any last!"

"Apparently, even the famous and wealthy have a hard time scheduling even a simple meal with her."

"I'd die for a night alone with her!"

Many of the guests were immediately enraptured.

"Only someone like the king of the east would be able to command her time..."

"No, that's not right. She's here only because of the bride—I heard that the king of the east's daughter was like a niece to her."

"I'm curious as to this mysterious bride—she's hardly made a public appearance before, has she?"

The murmurs of the shocked guests didn't faze Dong Mingxing's speech.

"Tonight, in this sacred chamber, the bride and groom shall be tethered forevermore in holy matrimony. On this auspicious occasion, the most fortunate and gifted couple of the east shall be united as one." Her voice was mellifluous and effortlessly charming.

One of the guests whispered to his neighbor, "Won't Dong Mingxing's presence upstage the bride?"

"Right—if she's even prettier than the bride, then..."

"The king of the east is no fool, and he wouldn't allow her to host the ceremony if that were the case. Who knows? The bride might eclipse even Dong Mingxing in beauty!"

The guests' anticipation rose to a climax.
