Volume 1: The Beauty of Misfortune Chapter 4: Welcoming the Bride

Liuyun City is the smallest city in the Blue Wind Empire. It is so small that it is not suitable to be called a city. It may be more appropriate to call it a town. Liuyun City is not only the smallest in area, but also the most remote in geographical location. The population, economy, and comprehensive profound strength level here are at the bottom of the entire Blue Wind Empire. The residents of Liuyun City even often ridicule themselves that this place is a forgotten corner of the Tianxuan Continent. The Xiao Clan, which is not a noticeable existence in the Blue Wind Empire, is a real giant in Liuyun City.

Liuyun City is particularly lively today, and the reason is naturally the wedding of Xiao Che and Xia Qingyue. Xiao Che's marriage is fine, and no one will care at all, but Xia Qingyue's marriage is definitely a big event that can make a sensation in the entire Liuyun City.

The Xia family is not a pure Xuan cultivation family, but has been engaged in business for generations. Although the wealth is nothing in the entire Blue Wind Empire, it is definitely the most wealthy in Liuyun City. However, this does not mean that the Xia family is weak. With strong wealth, they can naturally afford a large number of masters to protect their property. Xia Hongyi, the current head of the Xia family, has a pair of children, Xia Yuanba and Xia Qingyue. The children have no interest in doing business, but focus on cultivating Xuan. Xia Hongyi also let it go and never opposed it. After Xia Qingyue showed her talent that shocked Liuyun City, he would not stop her. On the contrary, because of Xia Qingyue's amazing talent, the major families in Liuyun City often showed some goodwill... After all, Xia Qingyue is recognized as someone who may reach the Earth Profound Realm or even the Heaven Profound Realm in the future. By then, the Xia family will not only dominate Liuyun City in wealth, but also in strength.

But such a Xia family wants to let the most dazzling daughter of heaven in the city marry Xiao Che, a waste without any future. I don't know how many people feel sorry... Of course, more of them are envy, jealousy and hatred.

Since it is the Xia family marrying a daughter, the scene will naturally not be shabby. As soon as Xiao Che went out, he saw a long and exaggerated red carpet laid at the door. This red carpet started from the gate of the Xiao family and extended in twists and turns towards the direction of the Xia family. The distance between the Xia family and the Xiao family is not too far, but it is definitely not close, it is still more than ten miles. In other words, this red carpet is at least ten miles long...Except for the Xia family, no other family in the entire Liuyun City would have such an amazing hand.

As soon as the Xiao family's wedding procession appeared, the streets of Liuyun City suddenly became lively, and people watching the excitement filled both sides of the street. As the procession moved forward, all kinds of whispers reached Xiao Che's ears.

"Look! That's Xiao Che, the grandson of Xiao Lie, the fifth elder of the Xiao family. It is said that he was born with disabled Xuanmai and will never be able to break through the first level of the initial Xuan in his lifetime."

"Oh, this is the first time I've seen him."

"It's normal that you haven't seen him. With such an awesome grandfather, but you are a waste. If it were you, would you still have the face to go out often? Alas, Xia Qingyue actually married such a person. God is really blind!"

"It is said that his father Xiao Ying and Xia Hongyi were sworn brothers. Xia Qingyue almost died when she was born. Fortunately, Xiao Ying consumed a lot of Xuanli to save her. Xia Hongyi promised Xia Qingyue to marry Xiao Ying's son as a daughter-in-law when she was sixteen years old. Not long after, Xiao Ying was assassinated. Because of the large amount of Xuanli consumed, he was unable to resist and died directly. Xia Hongyi blamed himself even more... Now Xia Qingyue is sixteen years old. Although Xiao Ying's son is a waste, Xia Hongyi has always valued love and righteousness. I don't want to break the promise I made that year, otherwise, how could this guy marry Xia Qingyue. "

"Alas! Xia Qingyue is the pearl of our Liuyun City. If Xiao Che loses his status as the grandson of the fifth elder of the Xiao Clan, he is not even worth a ton of mud. I am a hundred times better than him! This world is so unfair!"

"The goddess of my dreams is going to marry such a waste. I am so unwilling that I want to die!"

On horseback, Xiao Che's eyes were like deep pools, crystal clear and deep, his demeanor was bright and handsome, he was dressed in a bright red wedding dress, his long hair fluttered behind him, and his whole body exuded an elegant and ethereal aura. There were all kinds of voices and discussions in his ears, and all kinds of jealous, unwilling, mocking, resentful, envious, and disdainful eyes focused on him, but he seemed to be unaware, with a somewhat light smile on his face. I don't know how many girls were confused by his eyes.

Although Xiao Che's profound strength is extremely poor, his appearance is definitely not bad, even better than Xiao Yulong. In addition, he rarely goes out, his profound strength is low, and he looks very weak and tender... a real pretty boy!

Therefore, even if countless young talents are jealous of Xiao Che, they have to admit in their hearts that in terms of appearance, this Xiao Che seems to be worthy of Xia Qingyue.

"I thought this Xiao Che would ride in a sedan chair today, but I didn't expect him to ride a horse, and his temperament and expression... seem to be different from the rumors."

"Tsk! He is a useless person who is looked down upon by everyone, but today he is going to marry Xia Qingyue, the pearl of our Liuyun City. Of course, he must be very proud! Is he afraid to show his face?" A voice said hatefully.

“I heard that the young masters of the Yuwen family and the son of the city lord have been chasing Xia Qingyue. Do you think they will just come to snatch the bride?”

“Come on! Xiao Che is nothing, but his grandfather is Xiao Lie, the number one master of our Liuyun City. The city lord has to be polite to him. His son is dead, and he only has this grandson. He must be very protective of his son. If someone comes to make trouble, Xiao Lie will be furious! Who dares to cause trouble! Besides, this is not a forced marriage. Who dares to make trouble will also cause trouble to the entire Xia family. I guess the sons of those families are locked up at home now.”

The wedding procession walked slowly and steadily, and it took nearly an hour and a half to walk more than ten miles.

"Brother-in-law!!"

As soon as they approached the Xia family's gate, a tall and sturdy figure quickly ran towards Xiao Che following a rough shout. This man didn't look very old, but he was at least two meters tall, and his body was as strong as a bull. Even the ground shook slightly when he ran. Xiao Che watched him approaching, swallowed hard, widened his eyes and said, "Yuanba! We haven't seen each other for less than a month, why are you so tall again!!"

This man... a boy to be precise, is Xia Qingyue's younger brother Xia Yuanba. He is fifteen years old this year... yes, he is really only fifteen years old! But just looking at his size, no one would have thought that he had just turned fifteen this year! He was over two meters tall... When Xiao Che was riding a horse, the top of his head was just as high as him, and his weight was over 350 kilograms. However, Xia Yuanba, who weighs so much, is definitely not bloated. The muscles on his body are all bulging and have a dark metallic luster, which contains quite astonishing power. His profound strength is only at the fourth level of the Elementary Profound Realm, which can only be considered to be a little above average, but it is infinitely powerful. Even if he fights against someone who is at the sixth level of the Elementary Profound Realm, he will definitely be worthy.

Xia Yuanba is Xiao Che's only best friend. He has been calling Xiao Che brother-in-law since he was a child, and the two of them played together until they grew up. Before the age of eight, Xia Yuanba was still dark and thin, and was often bullied. After the age of eight, Xia Yuanba's height and weight increased dramatically, as if he had taken the wrong medicine, and his appetite and strength became more and more alarming. Now he is fifteen. Years old... Just looking at the face, you can still vaguely see a little childishness, but the body shape... is simply monster level!

After listening to Xiao Che's words, Xia Yuanba rubbed his head and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "This... I can't help it. My father asks me to lose weight every day, but starving me is more uncomfortable than killing me."

"..." Xiao Che was speechless. You are in this state when you are only fifteen years old. As an adult... I can't even imagine it!

Xiao Che had seen Xia Yuanba's appetite many times. Fortunately, he was born in the Xia family. If he were born in an ordinary family, he would probably have gone bankrupt long ago.

"Hey, brother-in-law, today you will officially become my brother-in-law." Xia Yuanba smiled honestly. He was very happy for his sister to marry Xiao Che, and he had even been looking forward to this day. Because in his opinion, with such a powerful sister as his wife, no one would dare to look down on Xiao Che anymore.

"Come in quickly, sister is ready." At this point, Xia Yuanba slapped his forehead: "Oh, by the way, I'll open the door."

After saying that, Xia Yuanba ran towards the Xia family's gate, running like a moving mountain of meat.

The wedding team entered Xia's house. As soon as he entered, Xiao Che saw Xia Hongyi who was smiling. He quickly dismounted, walked to Xia Hongyi, and saluted respectfully: "Uncle Xia."

"Haha, it's already this time, why don't you still call me uncle?" Xia Hongyi said with a gentle smile. He is not tall, and he is somewhat stout even in his middle age. He even looks a bit honest, but no one in Liuyun City dares to look down upon him.

Xiao Che narrowed his eyes and said respectfully again: "Father-in-law."

He has always respected Xia Hongyi. Because he is his father's brother. He had received countless looks from his childhood, but Xia Hongyi had always taken good care of him. Even though he was born with a disabled profound vein, he still did not violate the agreement he made with his father and took the initiative to marry Xia Qingyue to Xiao when she was sixteen. Che.

"Haha, okay!" Xia Hongyi nodded, stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Che's shoulder: "Che'er, from today on, I will hand over Qingyue to you. Although you are not a great hero or a powerful person, you just rush to Xiao Che. You are Xiao Ying's son, so I can safely marry my daughter to you. Your father, Xiao Ying, is extremely talented and values ​​​​love and righteousness. Being able to become a brother with him is the most regretful thing in my life. You are Xiao Ying's son. Even if your profound veins are damaged, I will never believe that you will be an ordinary person in the future."

"Treat my daughter well. As for the rumors, let them go."

Xiao Che's eyes moved slightly, and then he nodded slowly and firmly: "Father-in-law, don't worry, although I am despised by others now, there will be a day when the dragon lurking in the abyss will awaken. When the time comes, I will make all those who look down on me , and those who mock the Xia family for finding a useless son-in-law, please shut up."

Xia Hongyi was stunned for a moment... The Xiao Che he knew well had always been weak-mannered and mild-tempered, and would often show his inferiority complex inadvertently. But now he spoke such bold words to him, and his eyes were sharp, his expression was calm, and his eyes were so deep that he felt like he couldn't see clearly... completely different from the weak posture in the past.

"Okay!" Xia Hongyi nodded and patted Xiao Che's shoulder again: "I believe that Xiao Ying's son will never be ordinary. I will wait to see the moment when you dive into Long Teng Yuan. Okay, Qingyue is already here Get ready and go.”
