Chapter 272: Likeable

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two months ago, the few sects that ran in defeat and escaped from Mount Hua, as long as they claimed to have some connections with Wen Leyang or Ji Fei or Shui Jing, they all came to Nine Peaks Mountain to hear about the story. As Ji Fei and Shui Jing did not become the Great Virtue, they attended to Ji Fei and Shui Jing half-heartedly. However, Chang Li and the others had finally broken ‘the immortal master teacher’s magic circle’. The news that they defeated the Heaven’s cone nail descendants had gotten out.

Since then, most of the cultivation sects started to pay close attention to the day, tenth day of the fourth month. It was alright if the Wen family could not organize this auspicious event, but if they were successful, their gifts would definitely reach them.

On the night of the seventh day of the fourth month, Wen Leyang was rushing back home to get married alongside the cat demon and a few peerless demon immortals. This news had reached all corners of the cultivation world. From the morning of the eighth day of the fourth month, there had been people going up the mountain to offer their congratulations.

Ever since the cat demon appeared, Great Mercy Temple had become Wen family’s ally. The two rabbit demons did not return to Mount Emei since they came back from Mount Hua. They had gone straight to Wen family to wait for the Grand Master. Little rabbit demon accompanied the Wen family elders. With the help of Ji Fei and Shui Jing, they entertained the cultivators who came up the mountain. The rabbit demons had been in charge of Great Mercy Temple for many years. These things did not trouble him, he had everything under control.

The Wen Bucao had been well prepared. Although it was hasty, they could still handle it.

Two brides, one hailed from Red Leaves Forest, the other hailed from Crow Ridge. If they departed from their homes, this wedding might take about half a month to complete. After some negotiations between the two families, they built two houses three miles away from Wen family village for Xiaoyi and Mumu. They regarded it as their maiden homes.

Mumu had nothing to worry about, she had many female relatives, she will have all the help she could get when the time comes.

However, within the Place of Birth, Life, Sickness and Death, it was either the Death Trademark who killed without even batting an eyelid or lifeless disciples. The Wen family had planned to send some womenfolk to keep up appearances, but Miao stockade village’s Second Mother had taken charge of this. She took Xiaoyi as her adopted daughter. On the smaller scale, they had a display of splendor and someone to take care of her, on a bigger scale, it was the marriage between three families. This marriage had turned into the greatest merrymaking in the history of the three families, Wen, Miao and Luo!

The two brides hid within the ‘maiden homes’ three miles away. They stayed inside their rooms with their blushing faces. They kept their ears open to wait for the news of their lover’s return, but they did not have the courage to look outside.

On the morning of the eighth day of the fourth month, Wen Nine and Wen Thirteen stood at the village’s entrance like two wooden stakes. They placed their hands on the mat shelter and looked down at the mountain. Occasionally, they would turn and yell towards the village, “Someone is here with gifts!”

After they shouted for a few times, Fourth Elder Wen followed their voices and found them. After he gave them a good scolding, the brothers changed their yells into, someone is coming up the mountain…

This time, the cultivators that came up the mountain, no matter their sects or identities, nobody announced their arrival before they even reached the base of the mountain like before. They all walked up the mountain. After they met the receiving disciples, they notified them about their affiliations with a smile…

Currently, there were two busiest persons on Nine Peaks Mountain. One of them was Ah Dan. His newly sewn silk shirt had been drenched in sweat. He ran out of the village to look out for Wen Leyang, ran to the kitchen and mumbled some orders, ran to the wedding hall and looked around, ran to Grand Elder Luo when he felt unsatisfied and reported to him with great gestures.Read more chapter at ReadNovelFull

The second one was heaven-telling sect’s Wei Mo. He voluntarily followed little demon rabbit and the others who went to receive the guests. He was in charge of receiving the gifts and the accounts. His pen flew as he did not leave out any details. He recorded every single gift clearly, as heavy as immortal pills and magic weapons, as light as gold and silver jewelry. At the same time, when he recorded the official accounts, he also recorded in a confidential account where he sorted the gifts according to their values. Grand Elder Wen only looked at the confidential account record. He first looked at the first few with smiles and remembered the last few with spite…

Wei Mo went about his business as he jeered from the side, “They say that they’re cultivating in heaven’s path and had seen through the workings of the world. Now look who’s rushing here to send gifts!”

The little demon rabbit had just arranged for the few sects, who came to attend the ceremony, to go down to rest. When he heard that he turned and smiled, “At the end of the day, a cultivator cultivates in power. The places where strength is cherished under the heavens, they will be more realistic. Take for example, the few elders, Wen Nine, Wen Thirteen, Bushuo Buzuo brothers, any of these men are a force that even the Five Blessings would not want to tamper with. What about the addition of little Chi Maojiu and little Luo Wangfu? What’s more, we have Wen Leyang, this little poisonous thing that has an honest appearance but only helps his kinsmen!”

Old monk Ji Fei broke into laughter at the side and added, “We also have Grand Master Chang Li who’s all for helping the underdogs!”

Little demon rabbit nodded, “It’s not that these cultivators do not have the courage. Since Grand Master Chang Li and the Wen family have no quarrels with them, what’s wrong for them to come and join in the party? If you’re strong, you’ll have supporters, no matter what you do…” As he said this, Shan Duan waved his hand. A smile rose again on his face, “These words do not have any flavor, they’re useless talk!” His voice barely faded when Wen Nine’s voice came from afar, someone is coming up the mountain…

It was the dawn of the tenth day of the fourth month. Wen Leyang and the others finally arrived at Nine Peaks Mountain. The elders of the Wen, Miao and Luo, old and little rabbit demon and the others had already descended the mountain before this and waited down there. Since the seniors such as Chang Li and Hanba had come, they had to go greet them no matter what.

Just when Grand Elder Wen was pulling old demon rabbit Bu Le and led a large group of family members to go and greet Chang Li and the others, a muffled boom suddenly erupted. Then, flowing lights flickered, strange colors filled the air. The pitch-black night sky was suddenly streaked with dazzling arcs of light. They spread out in all directions from above until the edge of the heavens!

Then, a laughter, uncertain whether it was genuinely happy or faked, rang forth. The Rainbow brothers wore grand clothes and sprinted from afar up to the group of people. They first bowed uniformly towards Chang Li, “We respectfully welcome grandmother Chang Li and the few gods with their victorious return!” Then, they cupped their fists toward Wen Leyang and smiled, “…”

The seven fat men had just opened their mouths at Wen Leyang when they seemed to have received a punch on their faces. They stood riveted to the ground. The fireworks made a beautiful display in the sky and lit up the dark night. They also shone on Wen Leyang’s scar-riddled face.

Grand Elder Luo’s brows jumped. He immediately felt the urge to return up the mountain and rescue his granddaughter…

Xiaowu quickly stood out to explain for Wen Leyang, “If the medicine is ready, Wen Leyang can get rid of all these scars within a month or two, and regain his original looks…”

Nineteen also nodded her head. She did not have the opportunity to speak when a cheer suddenly sounded behind Grand Elder Wen. Ah Dan had been engrossed in the fireworks display in the sky but when he heard XIaowu’s voice, he was overjoyed. Ah Dan had not learned how to speak yet. He babbled as he ran forward.

The Rainbow brothers finally regained their senses. They managed a smile as they made a bow towards Wen Leyang with their hands folded in front, “You had both flowers, this is an event of great joy!” Fireworks kept shooting up the sky. They were colorful and enchanting. Wen Leyang would have given anything to have a piece of cloth to cover his face right now.

Chang Li greeted the other junior disciples with a smile and said to the Rainbow brothers, “You guys have put a lot of thought into this!”

The Rainbow leader did not conceal as he chuckled, “We had already come here long ago. We hid in the mountains, all in the hopes that we can make you happy.”

The other Rainbow fat man of unknown rank also giggled, “We had almost pulled all our hairs out these days because of the gifts. Even if we sent a treasure mountain here, compared to brother Wen Leyang’s rock tower magic weapon, it’s only a pile of dirt. Hence, we decided that other than the jewelry, magic weapons and pills, we even took charge of this auspicious event’s festoons! In the morning, we have magic spells, fresh flowers, in the evening, we have firecrackers and fireworks, every single one of them contains our joy!”

Almost every cultivator who came to attend the ceremony had wracked their minds over the gifts like the Rainbow brothers. Wen Leyang had shown Bony Ning Jiao, devil tower and the giant sword on Mount Hua. When these three objects appeared, nothing else worth as much. Nobody was foolish. Other than those expensive things, they had also prepared little exquisite trinkets. They either poured their efforts on the bride or on the Wen family elders. Up until now, Wen Leyang was getting married, they had at least received a dozen rare poisonous bugs. There was even one mix-colored, obviously not pure-bred, Buddha’s Light Worm.

Ah Dan did not look up at Wen Leyang since the beginning. He ran up to the front of his feet and squatted down. After he tapped Wen Leyang’s feet, he took that as having said his greetings. Then, he followed the little darling and went wherever Xiaowu went. Xiaowu’s shadow would have cried from his harassment.

After everyone exchanged their greetings, they chatted and escorted the few peerless demon immortals up the mountain. However, due to Wen Leyang’s face, no matter how much they laughed, they would still seem to be faking it.

Naturally, the road leading up to the mountain was a merry scene. The cultivators that had ascended the mountain before this all came out to greet them. Then, everywhere Wen Leyang passed by, it fell silent before it resumed its clamor.

Ah Dan made a complete show of the master of the house. He ran around among the nuptial chamber and the village to give orders. When he entered Mumu’s house, the only person under the heavens, who could separate Ah Dan from Xiaowu finally appeared. Mumu invited Xiaowu in with a smile, then the door slammed shut. Pitiful Ah Dan was left outside.

After Wen Leyang finished entertaining some guests, he went home with his parents.

At this time, there were still some cultivators who wanted to find Wen Leyang to offer their congratulations. They were scared back to where they came from by Chang Li’s stern face…

Father Wen had thick eyebrows and big eyes, his face still retained the vigor of his youth. Mother Wen was slightly fattened, she looked wealthy and had a naturally smiling face. The couple were not old, they were only in their forties.

Wen Leyang had wanted to say something when Mother Wen suddenly reached out and pressed her hands lightly on her son’s face. Every scar was as painful as cutting her own hands!

All these years, Wen Leyang had not gone home often, even if he came home, he was busy. He either fought his enemy or lied on a wooden bed to recuperate. He could not seem to sync his schedule with his parents’. When they saw that he was about to get married, but the greatest enemy was about to show himself, everything felt rushed.

Mother Wen was the first to speak. Her voice was very low but her eyes were extremely serious, “About the matters of the seniors, can you… not trouble yourself about them anymore?”

Wen Leyang’s chest immediately tightened.

Mother Wen’s voice was low. A married woman like her suddenly speaking in this tone, anyone would have found it funny, “After you’re married, take your two brides with you. If you’re afraid that you can’t… then go yourself, don’t get married…”

Father Wen finally grunted. He raised a hand and made a scary pose towards Mother Wen, “You’re getting way off base!”

Mother Wen wiped the edge of her eye, she shook her head and smiled…

Within the next few hours, Mother Wen rattled away. Eventually, Father Wen came in and pulled her away. He looked at Wen Leyang, “Don’t listen to this woman’s garbage! But you must remember one thing.” After he finished, suddenly, a strange expression rose on his face, “Your life is far more valuable than any one of them.”

They were everyone, they were all the people under the heavens.

After he finished, Father Wen heaved a long sigh. He had been holding this sentence inside him for a few years now.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and smiled, “I’m here to deliver the bridegroom’s nuptial dress! Dawn is upon us, it’s time to shave and wear the new clothes!”

Father Wen answered with a smile. He went to open the door to receive the blessing. For god knows how many years, the greatest wedding in Nine Peaks Mountain’s history had officially started the instant the door was opened!

For an event like this, the first to reach was, of course, Ah Dan, although the little darling was no longer beside him…

When the door was opened, Ah Dan chuckled and leaped into the house. Like everyone else, when he saw Wen Leyang clearly, his smile froze over in an instant. Then, he screamed, turned and ran. The people outside ignored him. They went into the house, surrounded Wen Leyang and busied themselves.

Ah Dan had only calmed his spirits down after he was far away. After pondering for some time as he stood, he ran towards Mumu’s nuptial house three miles away.

At the same time when Father Wen opened the door to receive the blessings, Mumu and Xiaoyi also started to get busy. The large group of women went around the two brides and dressed them up. Xiaowu sat beside Mumu, her little feet swung as she looked at the bride with envious eyes.

The womenfolk were busy. Suddenly, with a thud, Ah Dan crashed into the scene head first. He looked anxious and frightened. He gestured with his small hands all over his face. He mumbled but nobody understood him.

At the moment, nobody understood what was wrong with this kid. However, Xiaowu’s colors drained as she saw it. She quickly jumped down from the chair and lifted Ah Dan up in a rude manner. Her other hand covered Ah Dan’s mouth as she ran outside. Ah Dan was weaker than her. Even when he kicked until his shoe flew away, he could not wrestle free of Xiaowu’s grasp. He was brought away by the little darling.

When the people inside and outside the house saw the two wrestling, they all laughed. However, just when the little darling ran out of the house while carrying Ah Dan, suddenly a low growl sounded. A human figure shot towards the two dolls like lightning!

With a muffled bang, the little darling staggered and fell backward. A dash of bright red flashed across her small face, Ah Dan had been snatched away by the other person.

If it were down to abilities, even if the giant pangolin Po Tu wanted to win against the little darling, it would not be an easy feat.

Ah Dan struggled desperately, his other shoe flew off… The person had intended to escape with him, but when Ah Dan threw a tantrum, the person stopped. At this moment, a cold sneer sounded. Fifth Brother Hanba had already arrived at the scene. Grey shadows rose behind him, he summoned zombies to kill the enemy without a second word.

Chang Li, who was beside him, was shocked. She could not let Hanba activate his magical powers on such an auspicious day as this. She quickly stopped him. She yelled and summoned a dozen Demon Blades, which chased after the other party.

Even if Chang Li was wounded, the powers of her magical power were still much more powerful than the little darling’s. The other person’s face froze, he swiped across his face and shouted, “Happiness on the Eyebrows!” Then, his brows jumped and the Demon Blades shattered loudly as they clanged on his body!

Everyone who rushed to the scene after hearing the commotion, after his ‘Happiness on the Eyebrows’ could not help but show a genuinely happy face.

Even Chang Li’s spirit was shaken. She could not help but smile. At the same time, she shouted with slight surprise, “It’s you?” As she said this, she waved her arm, signaling all the juniors and disciples who were retreating. The person who snatched Ah Dan away was Eyang sect Taoist priest San Wei’s martial idiot split body.

The abilities of Taoist priest San Wei when he was alive was on the level of these demon immortals. Amongst the three split bodies, this martial idiot had the most profound cultivation base. When Chang Li was in her prime, she naturally did not concern herself with him, but now, on the large Nine Peaks Mountain, with a gathering of cultivating good hands, only the bridegroom-to-be Wen Leyang could be a match for him.

The bridegroom-to-be was having his head shaved…

Martial idiot San Wei had shown himself, he dared not stay too long. He gave a long whistle, carried Ah Dan and leaped high into the sky, intending to run out of Wen family village. Just when Chang Li wanted to unleash her full strength and stop him, a laugh that made everyone felt extremely happy wafted lightly beside everyone. Then, a scene, which the present cultivators could never forget, appeared suddenly before their eyes!

San Wei, who carried Ah Dan, had just leaped when the air beside him suddenly vibrated. An icicle materialized out of thin air and froze both of them in the blink of an eye.

However, within the flick of a finger, San Wei had broken the icicle. His figure continued to slide towards the exterior of the village, but a second icicle appeared!

Broken, a third icicle, broken again, a fourth icicle…

When an icicle appeared, martial idiot San Wei’s figure would freeze in mid-air for an instant, then he would break the ice and continue his escape. A leap that was originally as quick as a glimpse of a white colt flashing past a chink in the wall was fractionated by hundreds of icicles into incoherent pieces. Finally, Taoist priest San Wei’s life vitality was not enough. He was completely frozen by an icicle dozens of meters away!

Chang Li’s palm felt slightly cold. Cone Nail still looked pitiable. She had appeared beside her without warning. She was pulling on Chang Li’s hand while her other slender hand patted herself on the chest. She exclaimed jubilantly, “I’ve finally made it in time! I almost missed that young lad’s wedding!”

The cat demon cheered with surprise, which turned her delicate face into a soul-shaking beauty. She grasped Cone Nail’s hand and was stunned for a long while. She eventually asked softly, “Wen Leyang is disfigured, do you know that?”

Cone Nail’s expression was like a frightened fawn. She nodded with all apparent seriousness, “I scanned him with my telegnosis ability, I was almost frightened to death.”

After she finished, the two demon ladies looked at each other and laughed. They completely ignored the dumbstruck cultivators around them nor did they glance at the martial idiot San Wei within the icicle!

Xiaowu’s blood was boiling due to San Wei, but she was not harmed. The golden monkey Qian Ren also rushed over. The few of them had been through great disasters together. When they saw that Cone Nail was awake and healed, the happiness from deep within their hearts showed on their faces.

After they were done laughing, the golden monkey asked Cone Nail, “Do you remember anything about the past?”

Chang Li asked her at the same time, “How come your wounds have healed so quickly?”

Cone Nail nodded towards the golden monkey first, “The Prohibition on my primordial spirit has been broken, I remember it all now, but… we’ll talk more about this after that ugly young lad’s wedding!” Then, she turned and looked at Chang Li, she said with glee, “On Qinling Mountains Yin mountain’s eye, the heavenly water spirit attacked the primordial spirit seal and utterly manifested the utmost energy of the water element. It even activated the other drop of heavenly water spirit which I brought with me!”

Cone Nail had been out cold for more than two months. Out of those two months, the time which she used to attack the primordial spirit seal was no more than a dozen days. In the final month, it was the heavenly water spirit which helped her heal. Now, not only did Cone Nail regain her memories, her wounds have also healed completely. Her life vitality energy was much more abundant than before she was wounded.

As she said this, Cone Nail waved and dismissed the icicle. She did not wait for the martial idiot San Wei to fall down when she flashed over and snatched Ah Dan away from him.

The few demon immortals had promised San Wei’s true body back then that they would not trouble this martial idiot identity. Xiaowu was not injured, none of them would want to make a mountain out of this molehill, especially on this day of great joy. Cone Nail looked pitiably at San Wei, “I can’t kill anyone today, please just leave.”

However, martial idiot San Wei smiled bitterly, he pointed at Ah Dan, his even sounded like he was pleading, “Please don’t… trouble him, don’t bully him.”

Everyone was befuddled. The one who was the most puzzled was Ah Dan himself. After a brief moment, Chang Li suddenly understood what was happening. She broke into laughter and pinched Ah Dan’s cheeks, “This young man is the same person as San Wei!”

Ah Dan immediately made a flattering face, bow unctuously and chuckled foolishly at Chang Li.

The primordial spirit of San Wei’s true body, half of it was absorbed by Ah Dan, the other had blocked the god’s punishment for Ah Dan. Ah Dan and San Wei was the same person and they were reincarnated, but they could also be treated as two different persons. Their relationship was so complicated that nobody could explain it.

After the Prohibition on martial idiot San Wei’s body was removed, he had found Ah Dan by relying on the ties between the primordial spirit of the split body and true body. He had lied in waiting a few months ago on Nine Peaks Mountain. He did nothing but kept an eye on Ah Dan to see if he was being bullied. Just now, when Ah Dan was grabbed by the little darling, martial idiot San Wei acted out of anger. Chang Li chuckled as she explained the process of the entire event. No matter how they looked at it, this martial idiot San Wei in front of their eyes was not their enemy. Split body San Wei finally learned about his true body’s experience. He was dumbstruck for the moment.

Cone Nail stuck out her tongue. She held Ah Dan with her left hand, carried Xiaowu with her right hand and smiled, “These two little fellas have great backers, no one can afford to cross them!”

The little darling’s smile was as sweet as honey, Ah Dan smiled with a furtive look. Everyone chatted and laughed. Without anyone noticing, a faint light had already filled the edge of the sky. The instant daylight broke, a melodious, joyful and light morning bell resounded throughout the mountain in the blink of an eye!

Standing in the center of Wen family village, fat monk Shui Jing, who was triggering the golden bell in the sky, laughed and yelled, “Brothers, help Wen Leyang to fetch his brides!”

His voice barely faded when firecrackers sounded throughout the mountain, ten thousand fireworks display decorated the sky!

Old Fourth of the Rainbow Brothers was slightly puzzled as he asked his big brother, “Is it the time to shoot fireworks now?”

The Rainbow leader grunted, “Who cares, we have all the fireworks we need, as long as it’s merry!”

Amidst the colorful fireworks that covered the sky, Wen Leyang stepped out of his house. He donned his nuptial clothes and wore a red flower on his chest as he strode. Then, yells sounded here and there. Bushuo Buzuo, Qin Zhui and the others brought all the Wen family brothers and ran out of the village from all corners. Some of them carried wedding gifts, some of them brought firecrackers. They laughed as they hoisted Wen Leyang on their shoulders. They made lots of merry noises as they rushed towards the wedding houses three miles away.

The forthright marriage team was closing in on the nuptial houses. The scouts sent out by the three families were almost at their limits as they ran to and fro, relaying the military situation ceaselessly like a loom machine.

The dolls of the Luo and Miao families had formed who knows how many bands of brigands. They leaped out along the way and asked for red packets. Wen Buzuo waved his big arm and wedding candies rained down on them like missiles. It sweetened the little brigands until they ran in defeat

Among the brigands, there was a band with an average age of three years and a half. They were not even walking straight and they had already taken after their brothers and sisters as they came out and intercepted them. In the end, Wen Leyang smiled at them and they were so frightened that they ran back with tears in their eye…

The nuptial houses were in front of them. The great doors on which the character ‘joy’ was placed were shut tight.

They had finally reached the first barricade. Make yourself likable and call at the door, make sure the maiden is safe and sound.

The normally silent three-inch nail Wen Bushuo put on airs and took a deep breath, “It’s not easy to deal with the Luo family. Our family had given mountain produces as wedding gifts, they had already said that they’re getting their revenge!

Wen Buzuo smiled proudly, “I had already instructed lady Nineteen yesterday. She had already infiltrated the maiden group of the Luo family!” As he said this, he yelled sternly, “Where is Qin Zhui? Go and break open the door of the Luo family!”

Qin Zhui laughed and grabbed a huge bunch of red packets. He strode confidently towards Luo Wangfu’s nuptial house. Even if they had an insider, they still should give the red packets.

Three-inch nail Wen Bushuo’s expression was still serious, “The Miao aren’t easy to deal with either! I’ll handle this myself!” After he finished, he too grabbed a huge bunch of red packets and went to knock on the door as he stood beside Qin Zhui.

After a moment, Qin Zhui returned in defeat. He rubbed his palms and smiled embarrassedly, “Err… I didn’t break open the door… I’ve finished giving out the red packets…”
