Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 918 - 36: Auspicious Calamity (Part 1)

A wave of heat hit.

Yue Jinghua looked strangely at the jade token on her waist.

This jade token was given to her by Zong Shaoqing, and ever since Yue Jinghua got her hands on it, she carried it with her.

The jade itself was good, and it could suppress the Black Manzhu Flower Poison within Yue Jinghua’s body, so she kept it with her.

Earlier it was fine, but today, as Yue Jinghua was getting ready to change clothes, it suddenly emitted a slight burning sensation, like being scorched by fire, causing Yue Jinghua to look at it a few more times.

The jade pendant’s body remained crystal clear, but the crimson spot in the middle of the jade token was changing.

Yue Jinghua previously didn’t notice, thinking it was just a drop of blood. Upon closer inspection today, she found that there were actually two drops of blood inside the jade pendant.

Those two drops of blood initially took the shape of Hook Jade, each occupying one half, with one drop being bright red and the other dark red, together forming a circular drop of blood.

But as the heat from the jade token intensified, the blood drops initially split, and then tangled together like two armies in battle.

Gradually, the darker blood drop began to prevail, starting to consume the bright red drop, seemingly wanting to completely swallow the bright red drop.

As the jade token grew hotter, Yue Jinghua could hardly hold it in her hand.

Her heart grew uneasy with the battle of blood inside the token, her eyelids twitching incessantly.

"Huahua, why are you still standing here? Look at you, still dressed like you’re in training clothes. The mansion is bustling and busy, and with Minzhi’s wedding, how can you as his sister not be out to greet guests. How many times has Mother told you, as a woman, you should pay more attention to your appearance? Look at yourself," Lie Rou’s voice, soft yet firm, buzzed in her ear like a bothersome bee.

Yue Jinghua had no choice but to throw the jade token into the Desire Gourd, being pulled by Lie Rou to sit down, while Hongling and others gathered around, hurriedly stripping her training clothes and dressing her up.

Thirty minutes later, a "beauty" dressed in lady’s attire with her hair full of beads and pins was forcibly pulled to stand at the Duke Mansion’s entrance. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Blood Cherry Duke Mansion, once declining then prosperous again, transformed into the hottest noble family in Dragon War Empire and Ruison Federation, becoming a legend among the continent’s people.

The Yue siblings, young and gifted, with Yue Minzhi’s wedding drawing a constant stream of well-wishers, some seeking connections, others aiming to curry favor.

So many people came to watch that three red carpets laid outside the Duke Mansion were worn down in one day.

Ministers of Dragon War Empire, envoys from Ruison Federation, gifts from the guilds and the Mercenary Guild...

Yue Jinghua, in her past life, never married, having experienced her brother’s wedding, decided her own future wedding would definitely be simple, whether she marries or not.

Fortunately, she had the socially adept Xie Yu by her side, whom she enlisted without hesitation to greet the guests.

Yet despite this, she was still occasionally caught by Lie Rou to meet so-called "young talents," turning what should have been a good wedding into a disguised matchmaking event for her daughter, Yue Jinghua’s face stiff with forced smiles.

At last, the auspicious hour arrived, accompanied by music and singing upfront, causing the gathering crowd to assume the wedding sedan had arrived, rushing to the street.

Yue Jinghua finally had a moment to breathe.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the courtyard as a group of Sub-Asian Dragons flew in through the sky.

The servants of the Duke Mansion were terrified, yet Yue Jinghua found it amusing.

Her brother seemed aloof in everyday life, who knew he’d present such creativity at today’s wedding feast.

The Sub-Asian Dragons in the sky, devoid of their usual fierce aura, each adorned with a big red flower on their chest, assembled together with the Imperial Dragon Rider Team’s Sub-Asian Dragons and Dragon Knights, forming an unprecedented dragon riding wedding convoy.

The groom Yue Minzhi and bride Long Rui rode on a Five-Colored Jiao Dragon, followed by a small-bodied Shadow Dragon, descending from the sky.

Lie Rou clutched her chest, giving her son a glare, while Yue Jinghua and Shalman and the others cheered on the side.

"Miss, Miss Xue has arrived," Hong Yao squeezed out from the crowd, whispering in Yue Jinghua’s ear.

Princess Long Xue? No, it should be addressed as Long Teng the 73rd now; Yue Jinghua didn’t expect the Empress to personally come to congratulate.

Yue Jinghua informed Hongling, then left the mansion to greet Xue Diaoshang, who came incognito to the Duke Mansion wedding.

"Your Majesty," Yue Jinghua was about to perform the monarch-subject ceremony but was stopped by Xue Lingshang in blue clothes.

"No need for ceremony, I’m here today just as a relative. I’m related to Long Rui; after the marriage, you and your brother need to call me Aunt since we’re related by marriage. Don’t call me Empress in front of people, it sounds tiresome," Xue Lingshang smiled warmly.

She looked through the crowd to the bride and groom in wedding attire.

These two kids, reaching today, becoming husband and wife, made her as their aunt feel glad for them.

Watching them, a fleeting pain crossed Xue Lingshang’s eyes unnoticed.

Since the Chaotic World Hurricane Zone, after Zhan Tian fell into the Wind Cave, there hadn’t been any news.

Later, Four Symbols City sent large manpower and resources, but still couldn’t recover Zhan Tian’s body.

Upon hearing the news, the Empress, who was preparing for the coronation, didn’t show much sadness; only her closest female official knew that she’d stand in the palace’s flower garden, gazing into the boundless starry sky at night.

To prevent the Empress from reminiscing, Yue Jinghua led her to the main hall, "Brother and sister-in-law are about to perform the ceremony, Aunt Xue, please this way."

"The auspicious hour has arrived, the bride and groom enter the main hall and perform the rite," following the ceremony official’s proclamation, guests lined up on both sides.

Lie Rou and the elders from National Guardian General Residence sat in the east, red candles and festive carpets laid out.

Dressed as a groom, Yue Minzhi appeared even more charismatic and noble under the candlelight.

The bride Long Rui in a phoenix crown and phoenix robe, with her wedding veil enhancing her captivating beauty.

A perfect match, heaven-made union, having gone through the Duke Mansion’s rise and fall and the General Mansion’s decline, they finally came together — no easy feat.

Yue Minzhi gently held Long Rui’s hand, sensing the smoothness between their palms, his eyes full of tenderness as he guided Long Rui towards the elders.
