When Xiao Ying was still alive, Xiao Lie's position in the Xiao Clan could be said to be unrivalled. Even the Clan Master at that time respected him greatly. The reason is very clear. Xiao Ying's amazing talent was destined to become the strongest in the Xiao Clan in the future. In this world where the strong ruled, as Xiao Ying's father, Xiao Lie, was naturally respected by everyone in the Xiao Clan. However, Xiao Ying was killed, and Xiao Lie's only grandson, Xiao Che, had crippled the deep veins. Although Xiao Lie was currently the strongest in the cloud city, with the death of his son and his crippled grandson, without a successor, who would fear him? His position in the Xiao Clan had also plummeted.
Xiao Lie was not angry. He was used to the cynicism of these people. He nonchalantly smiled and said: "Thank you everyone has come. We should drink a few cups at the banquet later."
"I've given you a face, so there's no need to drink. My eldest grandson, Xiao Chengzhi, has just broken through to the seventh level of the Basic Profound Realm. He has wasted a lot of time here, so I have to personally stabilize him." Third Elder Xiao Ze said as he stood up.
"Chengzhi has broken through to the seventh level of the Basic Profound Realm? He was only seventeen years old and already had such a feat. The future of this child is truly limitless. Third Elder, no wonder you are so shining today. It's really worth celebrating!" Fourth Elder Xiao Cheng also stood up and congratulated the Third Elder with a face full of surprise.
Although Xiao Lie's self-restraint was good, his expression had already solidified into a hint of anger. These four people used to call him brother and even showed respect and flattery from time to time. However, ever since Xiao Ying died and Xiao Che was confirmed to be paralyzed, their attitude towards him changed drastically. Now, they no longer looked at him. Usually, they showed off their sons and grandchildren in front of him many times. Today, in his granddaughter's wedding hall, they still unscrupulously ridiculed and scorned him. They used the achievements of their granddaughter to forcibly tear the scars in her heart that she most did not want to touch.
The sudden change in atmosphere made the host Xiao De sweat profusely. He hurriedly skipped the rest of the process and immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "The bride will be sent to the bridal room ... All honored guests, please enter the banquet!"
Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue walked into Xiao Che's courtyard under everyone's gaze after bowing to each other amidst the sounds of gongs and merry drums in their ears. The bridal room was the usual room Xiao Che lived in. The room was decorated in bright red. The carpet was beautifully embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and the word 'double happiness' was written on it. The room was filled with red silk and red ribbons. On a dazzling table, two large red candles shone brightly. The candle bodies were carved with gold lacquer, towering dragons, and phoenixes. The twinkling candlelight reflected the golden glaze curtains that were about to reach the floor. The entire room was filled with hazy and dreamy colors, isolating the bridal room from the outside world.
Xia Qingyue was helped to sit on the bed by her maid, Xia Dongling. Then, Xia Dongling stepped out of the room without a sound and closed the door. The room suddenly became quiet. One could only vaguely hear the sound of their own breathing.
Xia Qingyue sat there quietly, not making a sound. Xiao Che did not approach her. Instead, he stood at the door and looked towards the door. There was fog in his eyes.
"Your grandfather was bullied in such a way, and it was during your marriage. You must feel bad in your heart, right?"
Next to his ears, a soft yet cold voice sounded... Xiao Che's expression changed. Xia Qingyue actually took the initiative to talk to him. This surprised him, even though his words were quite harsh.
Xiao Che looked to the side and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let go the phoenix coronet. That thing is too heavy. It would be very uncomfortable if you wear it for a long time."
According to the Sky Continent marriage custom, the bride's phoenix crown must be personally removed by the groom. However, when he tried to help her, she was "frozen" by him. The haughty and arrogant Xiao Che did not want to touch her anymore. Of course, he did not think that Xia Qingyue would actually let him help her remove the phoenix crown.
Xia Qingyue paused for a moment. Then, he raised his hand and quietly removed the phoenix crown with pearl tassels. Immediately, an extremely beautiful face appeared in Xiao Che's line of sight. He raised his Beautiful Eyes. The moment his eyes met her, Xiao Che's eyes instantly became dull .. This was a pair of eyes so beautiful as to be indescribable. It was as if all the calm blue waves in the world were selflessly concentrated on this dreamlike pair of eyes. Not even the brightest painter in the world would be able to describe and explain it in the most beautiful words. His skin was as smooth as jade and as white as snow. Even in the dimly lit room, his sparkling, jade-like face was still as white as snow. Her lips were as fragrant as the most delicate flower petals in the world. Her elegant and peerless nose seemed to be carved from the most beautiful white jade in the world. He towered high with innate nobility and arrogance.
"As expected ... He lived up to his reputation ..." Xiao Che muttered to himself. From start to finish, his eyes did not blink or shift even for a moment. That pair of beautiful eyes was like a boiling ravine with endless fascination. It drew his consciousness and mind to continue falling into it, unable to break away.
Although she and Xia Qingyue had been engaged since childhood, other than a few glances when she was young, this was the first time she had seen Xia Qingyue's original appearance after the age of ten … Because Xia Qingyue rarely left her room, and Xiao Che, who knew that her veins were paralyzed, was always filled with a sense of inferiority and self-blame, so she rarely left the Xiao Clan. He only occasionally heard Xia Qingyue's incomparable elegance after she grew from the words of others. In his heart, he had always wanted to sketch out a faintly beautiful figure.
But now that she finally saw Xia Qingyue's original appearance, the beautiful figure she had always dreamed of in her heart also disappeared in an instant. Because Xia Qingyue's beauty completely exceeded her imagination. He was unable to describe what kind of incomparable elegance this was. Even Xiao Che, who had memories of two lives, when faced with this appearance, his mind became dazed for a short time.
Xia Qingyue was known as the number one beautiful woman in the Cloud City, but at this moment, even if someone said that she was the number one beautiful woman in the Wind Kingdom, she was, Xiao Che would definitely not doubt it. He could not imagine what kind of elegance could surpass the beautiful scenery in front of him. And the girl in front of him, still the same age as him, was only sixteen years old. At this age, a girl has not fully developed with her beauty. If a few more years passed, it would be more difficult to imagine what kind of realm Xia Qingyue's charm would achieve.
In a small cloud city, a girl whose every frown and every smile was enough to take down the world actually appeared. And this girl, has even become his wife today... Xiao Che inevitably felt a deep sense of unreality.
Xia Qingyue stood up, her extremely attractive curves looking as soon as she stood up. He walked up to Xiao Che, his eyes were like water, and his lips slightly opened: "According to rumors, your veins are paralyzed, and you can only survive in the first level of the Basic Profound Realm for the rest of your time. lived. Therefore, your body is weak, and your personality also becomes weak and inferior. You rarely go out to meet people, and it seems that your only playmates are Little Aunt Xiao Lingxi and my brother Yuanba. From top to bottom, the only thing that can be considered good about you is your appearance.”
"Not only is it weak, it's also very murky. There is no doubt that your blood vessels are paralyzed. But regarding your personality, it seems that all the rumors are wrong."
Xia Qingyue stopped less than three steps away from Xiao Che, her pair of Beautiful Eyes staring straight at her: "Although you purposely hid it, within your attitude, there is clearly a kind of arrogance. From the first time I saw you until now, it's always been like this. It's completely the opposite of a self-defeating rumor. Earlier in my house, when I used energy to freeze your arms, your reaction was so calm that it shocked me. If your arms do not temporarily freeze, I will even suspect that my profound art is ineffective. Just now in the auditorium, you and grandfather Xiao Lie were ridiculed at such an important opportunity, but your body only showed a split second of anger. Immediately after that, it completely disappeared, the expression, and frequency of the heartbeat, there was not the slightest abnormal fluctuation ... This kind of state of mind, even if it was a Spirit Profound Realm expert it was extremely difficult! "
"In addition, when you look at me, your gaze is infatuated, but never slackened!"
"It's a fact that your blood vessels are paralyzed, but your true personality and mind, have been hidden from everyone." As Xia Qingyue spoke softly, her eyes were always fixated on Xiao Che's eyes. This pair of eyes, was very deep to the point where it seemed infinite.
Xiao Che's heart was suddenly shocked.
As Xia Qingyue approached, the scent of a dazzling young girl overflowed to the tip of her nose, but Xiao Che was already in no mood to kiss her carefully, his heart was completely filled with shock. Indeed, he was currently indeed very arrogant, no matter who he faced, because when he was in the Azure Cloud Continent, he was the one who stood proudly against the heroes of the world. One of those heroes, was a supreme existence that the entire cloud city could not contend with. Although he was currently extremely weak, his temperament would not change due to this. This kind of arrogance must have been unintentionally done by him, but it naturally appeared in his heart. With his current physique and situation, he was still trying his best to hide this kind of arrogance.
However, Xia Qingyue had exposed all of this directly, and even her thoughts!
On the way from the Xia Family to the Xiao Family, he had always thought that Xia Qingyue did not even glance at him. After all, one was a pearl in the sky, while the other was a mud looked down upon by many. It's a very normal thing. However, he did not expect that he had actually observed it from beginning to end, and he himself did not notice it at all.
The way Xiao Che looked at Xia Qingyue immediately changed. The pair of eyes in front of him were not only extremely beautiful, but also clear and bright, as if they could see through one's soul. His thoughts, were also meticulous and detailed to the point that he could not help but be surprised …
Someone has to know! Xiao Che had memories of two lives, and he had experienced two lives. He had a thought that would not waver even in the face of the heroes of the world, and even in the face of death! He really saw it so easily!
Was she really just a girl who was only sixteen years old?!
How could a sixteen year old girl have such a gaze and thought!
Xiao Che even suspected that this Xia Qingyue was like him, a person like her!
"Are you holding on secretly?" Xia Qingyue asked in a soft voice.
"Switch silently?" Xiao Che revealed a seemingly self-deprecating smile: "Maybe. However, it is a fact that I am paralyzed. In the Sky Continent, a crippled person meant that I could only be looked down upon by others for the rest of my life. Is there a difference between being really weak and low self-esteem, or being silent and enduring in silence?"
Surviving secretly? Hold on secretly what! Xiao Che yesterday, was completely the same as what Xia Qingyue had always heard! However, no matter how clever Xia Qingyue was, it was impossible for her to think that Xiao Che today had memories of a lifetime compared to Xiao Che yesterday! His temperament and mind had also changed.
Xia Qingyue's Beautiful Eyes narrowed slightly. He suddenly raised his palm that was soft as jade, stretched out his two fingers, and pointed to the empty air in front of Xiao Che's chest. Immediately, a cold but not ice-cold aura spread from Xiao Che's chest until it spread throughout his body. Just as Xiao Che was about to open his mouth to ask what he was doing, the cold feeling in his body instantly disappeared. Xia Qingyue also pulled her lily-white hand, and slightly moved her petal-like lips: "Your Profound Veins are indeed crippled, but not an innate flaw. You should have received an attack when you were very young, and your Profound Veins were instantly destroyed by the attack!"
