Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 527 - 524: Immortal Master Li’s Grand Wedding?
Chapter 527: Chapter 524: Immortal Master Li’s Grand Wedding?
Phoenix Ancient City, located in the southwestern part of Xiangxi, takes its name from its resemblance to a phoenix spreading its wings against the backdrop of green mountains.
And nestled within this beautiful Phoenix Ancient City is the Corpse Chasing Family that sends shivers down one’s spine upon hearing its name.
However, despite the advancement of science and technology, the profession of corpse escorting has been on the decline. Many corpse-escorting families have either transformed their business or vanished altogether. Only large and well-established families like the Chen Family are still able to barely hold on.
On this day, April 4th, Tomb-Sweeping Festival!
The weather was not pleasant, as a misty drizzle began to fall, veiling the entire town in a beautiful gauze.
At this moment, the Chen Family in the east of the city was lit up with festivity; the streets for ten miles were draped in red.
Guests from all corners of the world arrived in an endless stream to offer their congratulations.
Li Chen was also among these guests, but he was not here to offer congratulations; he was here to demand the secret technique for puppet making.
Seeing the joyous red "happiness" characters plastered all along the street, he casually stopped someone to ask, "Excuse me, is the Chen Family celebrating something joyful? Why such grandeur?"
If today was indeed the other party’s joyful occasion, it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to come asking for favors. Acting on the principle of humaneness, he would stay in the town for a day and visit the next.
The person looked at Li Chen with an incredulous expression and asked, "Brother, judging by your accent, you’re not a local of Phoenix City, are you? How do you not know about this? Today is the engagement day of Immortal Master Li and Miss Chen Yanhong of the Chen Family. How could it not be grand?"
Hearing the other person’s words, even Li Chen, with his steady disposition, couldn’t help but be shocked.
"Who did you just say, Immortal Master Li?"
"Brother, you must not be one of our worldly society folks, are you? To not even know about the renowned Immortal Master Li," the man’s eyes widened as though he was looking at an alien.
Before Li Chen could reply, the man continued with eyes full of admiration, "This Immortal Master Li is a prodigy that surfaces once in a hundred years in our Huaxia. In our Martial Arts world, he is an existence of supreme prestige. His fame is thunderous."
"Leaving other things aside, just two months ago, he alone overpowered an army of a hundred thousand from the Philippines on land, sea, and air. It wasn’t until the King of the Philippines consecutively offered up over a dozen princesses for Immortal Master Li’s pleasure that he ceased."
"Ah?"
Hearing the man’s exaggerated recount, Li Chen’s mouth agape with shock.
The man, seeing Li Chen’s disbelieving face, appeared quite smug.
"How about that, awesome isn’t Immortal Master Li? If only I could be half as awesome as him!"
As he spoke, his eyes shone as if he himself were Immortal Master Li, galloping through the halls of the Philippines palaces.
Li Chen forced a wry smile, pointed at the great red joy characters on the wall, and asked: "Awesome, indeed, but what does this have to do with the Chen Family?"
The man’s delightful fantasy was abruptly interrupted by Li Chen, and his face showed a hint of displeasure.
"Brother, don’t be hasty, let me explain it to you slowly. Last month, Immortal Master Li came to Phoenix Ancient City, where he encountered Miss Chen Yanhong by chance on the streets, and spent an intimate night with her. The lady from the Chen Family was indeed fortunate and auspiciously became pregnant with Immortal Master Li’s child after just one night."
"Although Immortal Master Li is known to be a romantic, he is not a heartless person. After learning of the news, he announced that he would be engaged to Miss Chen Yanhong today, granting her and their child a status."
Having heard the romantic escapades of "Immortal Master Li," Li Chen felt as though there were thousands of alpacas running wildly in his heart.
I’m grabbing a fistful of grass, what the hell is going on, how come I don’t know anything about this?
"Senior brother, why are you even talking to him? Immortal Master Li is about to arrive at Phoenix City, if we’re late, we won’t be able to see him!" ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
The young woman next to him, seeing her senior brother chatting endlessly with a stranger, urged impatiently.
The man gave Li Chen an apologetic smile, then cupped his fists and said, "I take my leave, until we meet again if fate allows."
"What’s there to talk about with him? Senior brother, let’s hurry up, I’m excited to go see Immortal Master Li. Who knows, I might just catch his eye like Miss Chen from the Chen Family."
"It’s said that Immortal Master Li is not only a peerless enchantment but also is youthful, with a face like the finest jade, and suave. If I could be with him...hehe, just the thought of it is thrilling!"
As she spoke the first half, the young woman gave Li Chen a disdainful roll of her eyes. By the latter half, she changed tone completely, like a crazed fan meeting their long-legged oppa, her face flushed with excitement.
Li Chen touched his forehead, speechless.
At this moment, he felt as though he was completely blindsided and just wanted some peace and quiet.
After standing still for half a minute, he decided to go to his own "wedding".
At the entrance of the Chen Family’s mansion, there were lights and festoons, and they had even laid out a red carpet just like the ones in Hollywood. Six cheongsam-clad young women stood on either side, smiling and welcoming guests from all directions.
Housekeeper Chen, seeing the unfamiliar face of Li Chen, stepped forward to block his path.
"Stop right there, sir, please present your invitation!"
Li Chen frowned slightly and asked, "Do I need an invitation to attend my own wedding?"
Housekeeper Chen’s hearing was a bit off, and he mistook the question as, "Do I need to invite invitations to attend the wedding?" and replied somewhat impatiently,
"Isn’t that obvious? Of course you need an invitation to attend a wedding. Of course, if you don’t have an invitation but are a person from the Martial Arts world, that works too!"
After that, he looked around and, seeing a stone mill on his left hand, said, "How about this, if you can lift that stone mill, I’ll let you in!"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Chen conjured a swirling vortex in his palm and lifted the thousand-pound stone mill into the air.
"Is this what you meant?"
Housekeeper Chen and all the cheongsam-clad young women were utterly astonished, their faces a picture of disbelief.
"Sir, may I ask your distinguished surname, so that I may announce your arrival inside?"
Housekeeper Chen quickly shifted from his previous arrogance to a bowing and scraping demeanor, his face full of smiles as he asked.
Li Chen smiled indifferently and said, "No need for formalities, my surname is Li, with Chen as my given name. There’s no need to announce me; I just happened to be passing by and wanted to check out the excitement. By the way, is that Immortal Master Li really going to come?"
Housekeeper Chen said proudly, "Of course he will. Our miss has already shown signs of pregnancy, gaining status through her offspring. No matter how free-spirited our son-in-law is, he will ultimately remember the bond of blood, how can he not come?"
Hearing that the other party already referred to Immortal Master Li as "son-in-law," Li Chen felt he couldn’t quite handle it and laughed embarrassedly, ignoring him and striding into the mansion.
Housekeeper Chen repeated the name Li Chen in his mouth a couple of times, muttering to himself, "Li Chen? Why does this name sound so familiar, as if I’ve heard it somewhere before?"
