A wedding had a dissenter.
This caused everyone present to freeze, a moment of disbelief. Was there truly someone unafraid of death?
All eyes turned towards the direction of the objection.
Good heavens, another beauty, and exceptionally so, even possessing more grace than Gongyu Jinghan.
What did this mean?
Was this a dramatic fight over a man, or was there another secret?
Everyone’s gaze fell upon Li Yourou, their eyes filled with anticipation for the spectacle.
However, no one seemed angered by Li Yourou’s objection. After all, beauties held privilege in the eyes of men.
This included Zhi Ruizhen and Xing Yongnian, who were presiding over the ceremony on stage.
They didn’t believe Li Yourou was genuinely opposing the union, thinking it a prank or a hidden agenda.
Instead, Li Yourou’s appearance made both Zhi Ruizhen and Xing Yongnian’s eyes gleam.
Xing Yongnian, in particular, began to stir with ambition. He wasn't typically inclined towards women, but after his recent interaction with Gongyu Jinghan, he found himself aroused once more.
Originally intending to borrow Gongyu Jinghan from Zhi Ruizhen for a few days, Li Yourou’s arrival led him to change his mind.
What was borrowed was never as satisfying as what one possessed.
Thus, Xing Yongnian's intentions took a completely different turn.
Gongyu Jinghan watched as Li Yourou actually stepped forward to object, her heart aching with worry. She desperately signaled Li Yourou with her eyes, urging her not to act rashly.
Gongyu Niu, however, was taken aback. He was well aware of Li Yourou's identity, and more importantly, hadn't she already departed?
How had she returned?
Gongyu Niu was immensely frustrated. What if something went wrong?
Just as Gongyu Niu was about to rise and explain, Zhi Ruizhen spoke first, "Miss, if you have any dissatisfaction, please feel free to voice it. We will treat beautiful ladies kindly."
As Zhi Ruizhen finished speaking, his gaze intentionally, yet subtly, roamed over Li Yourou.
The more he looked, the more he liked her. The thought of stripping Li Yourou and Gongyu Jinghan naked and placing them on his bed seemed like the peak of human joy.
Concurrently, Zhi Ruizhen secretly resolved that no matter who Li Yourou was, he intended to seize her and share his bed tonight.
With this thought, a sinister smile crept onto Zhi Ruizhen's lips.
The mere imagination was exhilarating.
Especially Li Yourou's perfect figure and her breathtakingly beautiful face.
Zhi Ruizhen instinctively glanced at the women accompanying her, and his expression instantly changed.
Damn it…
So many beauties?
And all of them possessed an unblemished appearance. Zhi Ruizhen's old face flushed red, even feeling somewhat excited.
"You, as the Vice Island Master of Guji Island, a Saint Venerable late-stage cultivator, yet you still want to forcibly take civilian women and take others as concubines. You are disrespectful in your old age and unfit to be human."
"As the Island Master, you should lead by example. You could be Gongyu Jinghan's great-grandfather, yet you desire a relationship with a young girl. Such a heinous act is something only you could do. Tell me, are you fit to be human?"
Li Yourou relentlessly listed all of Zhi Ruizhen's transgressions, as if he were a man destined for death.
No one had expected Li Yourou to come with the intention of causing trouble. Setting aside Zhi Ruizhen's status as Vice Island Master, he was, first and foremost, a super cultivator at the Saint Venerable late stage. Out of respect for Saint Venerable cultivators, such direct accusations and insults shouldn't be hurled, right?
Everyone was shocked, including Zhi Ruizhen himself.
They had never imagined Li Yourou's words to be so sharp, showing no respect for Zhi Ruizhen whatsoever.
Xing Yongnian, however, felt little impact. Instead, he found Li Yourou spirited and fiery.
He preferred taming such spirited mares, as it ignited a desire for conquest.
Xing Yongnian disliked women not because of their lack of charm, but because they were too forward, which he found repulsive.
But conquering a woman was an entirely different feeling.
Xing Yongnian cast a meaningful glance at Li Yourou, and he also noticed the women behind her.
He had no interest in anyone else, only a strong fascination with Li Yourou, this spirited mare.
Zhi Ruizhen's expression gradually turned cold. He looked at Li Yourou and questioned her, "If you are serious, I will give you a chance to apologize. Otherwise, on my joyous occasion, do not blame me for ruthlessly destroying a flower."
Of course, Zhi Ruizhen wouldn't actually destroy the flower. He more so wanted to seize this opportunity to throw Li Yourou onto his bed.
After all, Li Yourou had publicly mocked and insulted him in front of all the guests.
What was wrong with him throwing her on the bed and giving her a spanking as a lesson?
As soon as Zhi Ruizhen finished speaking, Xing Yongnian, feigning a peacemaking role, said to Zhi Ruizhen,
"Younger brother, do not be angered. I believe Guji Island can celebrate a double blessing today. Your elder brother will join you in celebrating the wedding."
Zhi Ruizhen listened, utterly bewildered, and looked at Xing Yongnian with suspicion.
Xing Yongnian smiled, stroked his beard, and pointed at Li Yourou, saying,
"Your elder brother intends to form a marital bond with her today."
