The wedding began quickly.
As the clock struck 18:18, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed, and the floral arrangements and decorations on the stage looked particularly dreamy under the faint light.
The banquet hall slowly quieted down as the wedding music began to play softly.
The host stood on the stage and began the usual opening remarks.
"Distinguished guests, dear friends and family..."
Down below.
Qin Luo and the others were seated together at a table.
Su Ba was sprawled out nearby, snoring loudly.
Ning Qingxuan, Ning Qingyuan, and Su Lingtian were sitting there, taking care of Su Ba.
"Little sister, aren't you sitting a bit too close to Lingtian?"
"Am... am I?"
Ning Muqing, who had been busy all day, finally caught sight of Su Muwan again.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Muwan in her wedding dress, feeling a sense of joy.
Sister Su... she's so beautiful...
But...
Su Muwan and Mr. Qin seem so close...
"Qin Luo~ Your massage skills are getting better and better."
"Ah~ right there, my shoulder's been a bit strained lately."
Su Muwan closed her eyes slightly, leaning comfortably against Qin Luo.
Due to her cultivation technique, Su Muwan's body temperature was much lower than that of an ordinary person.
But Qin Luo had a perfect solution for this issue.
Because of his unique constitution, Qin Luo's body was like a giant heater.
This perfectly complemented Su Muwan's cold nature.
As Qin Luo massaged Su Muwan's shoulders, he chuckled softly, "Miss, when we get back, I'll give you a proper relaxation session."
"With my acupuncture, I'll help you dispel the cold energy."
Dispel the cold energy?
Su Muwan blinked at his words.
Every time they did this, something unexpected always seemed to happen.
She was about to respond, but then she seemed to remember something and glanced at Qin Luo suspiciously. "Oh?"
"Really? But you're such a renowned miracle doctor, adored by the heads of so many prominent families."
"Won't you just quit once we get back?"
Hearing this, Qin Luo immediately shook his head, his expression sincere. "Miss, please don't test me like this."
"As long as you need me, I, your humble servant, will never leave!"
He was joking, of course. Qin Luo had already realized that he had feelings for Su Muwan.
How could he possibly leave?
Besides.
Su Muwan was the greatest villain in this world.
If he didn't stay by her side, she probably wouldn't survive until the end...
If he didn't go out of his way to provoke those so-called "chosen ones," Su Muwan might not even know who her real enemies were.
Qin Luo couldn't help but admire himself.
Su Muwan, oh Su Muwan, just look at me.
Where else would you find a servant as loyal and life-saving as I am?
Su Muwan perked up at Qin Luo's words. She raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she stared at his face. "Really? If I tell you not to leave, you won't?"
"Absolutely."
"So obedient?"
"Without a doubt."
Su Muwan coughed lightly and asked, "Then what if I tell you to stop being my servant? What would you do?"
"No."
He rejected her so quickly??
Su Muwan immediately glared at Qin Luo. "What? You won't listen to me?"
"No, Miss..."
Qin Luo shook his head, his expression serious as he looked at Su Muwan. "Once a servant, always a servant..."
"Ugh!"
"No! You can't be my servant forever!!"
Su Muwan panicked and immediately covered Qin Luo's mouth.
What a joke.
If you're my servant forever, what am I supposed to do??
Qin Luo: ???
Shouldn't the greatest villain love this kind of devotion?
Why is she reacting so strongly?
Su Bailian sat nearby, resting her chin on her hand, thinking about the so-called plan those aristocratic youngsters had mentioned earlier.
Something about Su Muwan being an evil spirit.
That she needed to be eradicated.
What nonsense.
The most ridiculous part was.
They spoke with such conviction, laying out every detail of their plan step by step.
After some thought, Su Bailian glanced at Su Muwan, who was clearly flirting with Qin Luo.
She leaned over, intending to give a friendly reminder.
"Sister Su~~"
"What is it?"
"Ahem... well, someone told me that later, a bunch of people are going to try to 'save the world' by eliminating you."
Su Muwan was stunned for a moment, then rolled her eyes. "Oh."
???
Now it was Su Bailian's turn to be confused.
Did Su Muwan already know about this?
The next second.
Su Muwan snorted lightly. "Haven't there always been people who want to destroy me?"
As she spoke, she shifted her shoulders, signaling Qin Luo to continue the massage, and waved her hand dismissively. "They're all just talk."
"If they have the guts, let them come at me for real!"
Su Bailian: .....
Well, I guess it's just empty threats.
Now I have no choice but to believe it.
Qin Luo blinked.
He glanced around.
The atmosphere in the room was starting to feel a bit off.
Although it seemed like everyone was just enjoying the banquet, there was an undercurrent of tension.
Many people were subtly glancing in their direction.
He looked down at Su Muwan, who was sitting there with a look of disdain, clearly not taking any of this seriously.
Well, if the lady wants to stay in denial, who am I to argue?
Just as he was thinking this.
The host on stage reached the climax of his speech.
The spotlight shifted to the entrance.
"Let us welcome the bride and groom!!"
As the host's voice rang out.
The doors opened.
Shangguan Xiao and Long Jiuxiao appeared.
In the shadows.
Shangguan Chuxue smirked. "Finally, they're here."
But...
Something felt off.
Shangguan Xiao and Long Jiuxiao didn't seem quite right.
Qin Luo raised an eyebrow.
He observed the two of them and noticed a faint, ominous aura around them.
So that's it.
These two... their souls have been taken.
Qin Luo smiled faintly.
What a clever little trick. This saves me a lot of trouble.
At one of the tables.
Suan Tianxing also noticed something unusual.
He stared at Shangguan Xiao and Long Jiuxiao.
Their eyes were vacant, and a faint evil aura emanated from them.
These two are trouble!
Thinking this, Suan Tianxing turned to the Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples around him and said in a low voice, "Stay alert."
"Be ready to deal with the evil spirit at any moment."
Zhang Hu and the other disciples who knew that the great evil spirit was actually a part of Suan Tianxing exchanged glances. "Understood."
They thought to themselves, what are you pretending for, Suan Tianxing?
As time passed.
After the usual wedding rituals and blessings.
The music gradually faded.
When it was time for Shangguan Xiao and Long Jiuxiao to speak.
The atmosphere in the room became tense and eerie.
Down below.
Su Muwan idly played with her nails, blowing on them, clearly bored.
When is this going to end? I just want to go back and read my book.
Qin Luo, on the other hand, was eyeing the room with a knowing look.
Everyone seemed restless.
It looks like... it's about to begin.
Sure enough, the next moment.
Shangguan Xiao's eyes flashed with a dark aura as she spoke in a heavy voice, "Today was supposed to be a joyous day, the day I marry my beloved Jiuxiao."
"But..."
She took a deep breath, then pointed directly at Su Muwan, who was sitting below, looking utterly disinterested.
"Among us... there is an evil spirit in human form!!!"
"Her name is... Su Muwan!!!"
As soon as the words left her mouth.
Click! Click! Click! The lights turned on!!
Crash!!
The sound of plates shattering echoed through the room.
This was the signal!!
Chaos erupted.
Everyone in the banquet hall stood up.
They all glared at Su Muwan with fury. "Evil spirit!!! Prepare to die!!"
"This banquet was set up to destroy you!!!"
Su Muwan was stunned for a moment.
Then.........
Her eyes widened in shock!!!
What???
Huh???
What did I do this time???
