Chapter 57: Getting Married

"Should we kill him?"

When someone else said these words, Cancan didn’t mind, but when Hua Qing said them, Cancan stared at him blankly, then jumped back, her little face very serious, "Monster, who are you."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, Hua Qing squinted slightly. Cancan bared her teeth, "Don’t think I don’t know, you are pretending, who are you? Why pretend to be Hua Qing, where did you hide him?" She questioned loudly, "Hua Qing would never say such things, this is not right."

Hua Qing lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Not all villains will repent, sometimes fighting monsters and demons is necessary. Remember my words, sometimes killing is not evil if it serves the greater good."

Cancan tilted her head in thought, it seemed to make sense, she pouted, "I think you have mentioned that before."

She approached slowly, grabbed Hua Qing’s face, checked it, and mumbled, "You really seem to be Hua Qing." She tapped Hua Qing on the head and complained, "Why are you speaking strangely all of a sudden, you scared me. I thought you were possessed by a ghost."

Hua Qing smiled and suddenly grabbed Cancan’s hand, "I will protect you."

Cancan smiled triumphantly, with an air of "I already knew that," she said seriously, "I knew it, even when I was burning in the flames, I wasn’t afraid at all. I knew you were so powerful that you would save me, not let me die like that, not let the bad guys win."

Hua Qing suddenly hugged Cancan and buried his head in her neck, whispering, "I’m sorry."

Cancan responded with a puzzled "Huh?"

Hua Qing said, "I saved you too late and made you suffer."

Cancan smiled and shook her head, "It’s okay. Look at me now, just a little scratch, nothing serious."

Hua Qing’s eyes became red, he stroked Cancan’s hair and said softly, "From now on, I won’t let you suffer, Cancan. Will you marry me?"

Cancan looked at Hua Qing in disbelief, her mouth slightly open in surprise. Mu Bai stood not far behind them, thinking to himself, "It’s really ruined."

The scene fell silent, even Ying Tu who was burned by fire gradually fell silent.

After a while, Cancan seemed to regain her senses, she opened her mouth for a while and finally spoke, "You, you, you, you want to marry me?"

Seeing her surprised look, Hua Qing chuckled and touched her head, "Cancan, do you want to?"

With a gentle question, Cancan’s eyes sparkled, and she nodded eagerly, her face filled with joy. She bit her lip, unable to contain her happiness, "You want to marry me, you really want to marry me."

The repeated murmurs made her so happy that she felt like she was floating!

Cancan’s joy made Hua Qing smile even brighter. He happily said, "Then, the sixth day of next month would be a great day, let’s do it then."

With a wave of his hand, Hua Yun disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this, Cancan asked in surprise, "Huh? Where’s Hua Yun?"

Hua Qing didn’t worry about it, calmly saying, "He went where he needed to go."

With Hua Yun resolved, Ying Tu on the side had already gone silent. But the strange fire kept burning. Cancan tugged at Hua Qing’s sleeve as they watched. Yu Xiu sat by the flames, motionless. No drama seemed to affect her much. She just watched Ying Tu gradually fade away.

Finally, Ying Tu turned into a pile of black sand, lifted by the wind, and vanished into the vastness.

Suddenly, Yu Xiu cried out hysterically. Cancan quickly let go of Hua Qing’s shirt and went over to hug Yu Xiu, soothingly saying, "Don’t cry, don’t cry. If your father is watching from above, he’d be happy to see you seeking revenge for him."

Yu Xiu was breathing heavily, as if she wanted to let out all her sadness. Cancan looked worried, then a light flashed and Cancan turned around to see Hua Qing saying, "She should take a good rest."

Everything seemed to have come to an end.

Apart from Hua Qing, everyone had some injuries, and they all needed rest. According to Hua Qing, there was only half a month left until the sixth of next month. Thinking about marrying Hua Qing made Cancan wake up with a smile from her dreams. She never imagined she could marry Hua Qing.

Marry Hua Qing!

Truly happy, aside from Cancan and Hua Qing, it seemed like there was no one else.

Cancan didn’t know that in the hall, the elders were against Hua Qing marrying. Many immortals supported each other as husband and wife, but Cancan’s identity… she had lost her Snowflake Glass and forgotten Xian Yue’s past, but she was still a little fox demon.

Immortals and fox demons, it was hard for people to understand or believe.

Besides, if Hua Qing and Cancan were to marry now, what would people think of Hua Qing and Xian Yue from the past? Would they think that they were not as innocent as they seemed?

Hua Qing looked at the people in the hall, with a gentle smile on his face. He stood at the top position, calm and cool, and asked, "Disagree?"

An elder in blue robes stepped forward and said, "It is natural for us to celebrate the leader’s marriage, but the choice of bride seems a bit inappropriate. Please consider, dear leader, do not jeopardize the thousand-year-old foundation of Shu Mountain for a moment of kindness or infatuation."

Hua Qing smiled in a mysterious way and murmured, "Jeopardize the foundation."

The elder in blue robes said, "Yes, considering I am also your senior, what I say is not for myself, but for the sake of Shu Mountain. Hua Yun has fallen into the heretical path and made a grave mistake. Will you go down the same path? The most cautious approach at this moment is to lock Hu Cancan in the Nine-curved Underground Palace, avoiding further troubles."

After the elder in blue robes finished speaking, a strong gust of wind blew by. Before anyone could react, Hua Qing swiftly struck them with a tremendous force. The elder in blue robes was thrown out and immediately lost consciousness.

Mu Bai quickly went to help the elder up and stared at Hua Qing, saying, "Even if what Mu An said was inappropriate, Hua Qing, you shouldn’t act this way. You…"

Before he could finish, Hua Qing’s eyes turned bloodshot. He gazed at everyone, smirked arrogantly, and said, "I make the decisions on Shu Mountain. I will do as I please. If you don’t like it, then go to the Nine-curved Underground Palace and accompany Hua Yun. I believe he will warmly welcome you."

"You!"

Hua Qing chuckled, "I think, like Hua Yun, I may have already placed a curse on you, so you obediently listen, rather than contradicting me now."

Others may not be aware, but Mu Bai knew. His fears had all become reality. Hua Qing was now walking the same path as Hua Yun, slowly falling into darkness.

And marrying Cancan was just the beginning of everything.

His thoughts had changed, Snowflake Glass was indeed a sacred item of the Demon Realm. It was corrupting hearts, amplifying the obsessions of everyone who possessed it.

Xian Yue fell into the demonic path, as did Hua Yun, now, is Hua Qing going to do the same?

Mu Bai suddenly felt a sense of helplessness, even when Hua Yun controlled Shu Mountain he had never felt this way, but now, he truly felt it, he felt this desolate helplessness.

Hua Yun didn’t have Snowflake Glass, he could only seal it, but Hua Qing was different, even if all the people of Shu Mountain joined forces now, they wouldn’t be a match for Hua Qing. Let alone Shu Mountain, even if all the immortals joined hands, it might not be enough…

Mu Bai was filled with worry, capturing Xian Yue back then required the Seven Stars Formation of the nine immortals, but that was Xian Yue, not Hua Qing. Given Hua Qing’s cultivation level, the Seven Stars Formation might not succeed. And, they didn’t even have nine people available to set up the formation now.

The Seven Stars Formation was not something ordinary immortals could deploy.

"Martial Uncle, I think you should tell everyone where Snowflake Glass is." While Mu Bai was lost in thought, Hua Qing suddenly spoke, his voice clear but icy cold.

Everyone looked at Mu Bai, Mu Bai didn’t know what Hua Qing wanted, but he also understood that Hua Qing might have a mind to break all secrets. He wanted him to reveal everything.

Speak up and awe everyone.

"Hahaha, Martial Uncle, are you too scared to speak? Or are you afraid of what I might do?" Hua Qing laughed arrogantly, completely different from his previous demeanor. After laughing enough, he put on a serious face, looked at everyone, and slowly said, "Snowflake Glass is actually with me."

Everyone was shocked.

Hua Qing didn’t care, returned to his noble appearance, and said, "Regarding the wedding matters, I need you all to hurry up. If you can’t satisfy me, I believe Hua Yun will be very happy."

With that, he left with a wave of his sleeve.

The crowd panicked, immediately surrounded Mu Bai, and without hesitation bombarded him with questions. Mu Bai helplessly said, "Hua Yun has caused a big trouble, and now we have to bear the consequences."

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

If Hua Qing fell into the devil’s path, it would be a great disaster…
