Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1526 Keeping It from Ji Qingyu


The prestige of the Luotian Imperial Clan has been rejuvenated, their renown soaring, making them impossible to underestimate. However, the person most famous among them is not a direct descendant of the Imperial Clan but Chu Mo!

Nowadays, the title "Young Master Chu" is a household name among nearly all the top powers in the Luotian Great Universe. Some praise him, others mock him, and still, some regard him with disdain... But no matter the mockery or dismissal, none can deny that Chu Mo has now reached a certain pinnacle of status.

Beneath the level of the Great Saints, few can suppress him.

Therefore, when the news of Chu Mo's grand wedding spread, even the Xue Family—a vast clan with a Great Saint behind them who previously had conflicts with Chu Mo—sent a special envoy team to congratulate him!

As for other family clans with Great Saints, unless they were entirely at odds with the Imperial Clan, nearly all sent high-ranking representatives to the imperial city to offer their congratulations.

Most of these attendees simply wanted to see for themselves who Chu Mo really was. Regarding this, both Chu Mo and Ji Qi were rather helpless. As the crown prince, Ji Qi could not forego decorum and thus carried out various reception duties with Chu Mo.

Soon, the auspicious date personally decided by the emperor arrived.

Early that morning, before dawn, everyone was already bustling with preparations.

The entire imperial city was virtually enveloped in festivity!

Now that wars have been quelled and the Imperial Clan's prestige restored, tranquility reigned across the Luotian Great Universe. Though many knew this peace would not last long, in the face of such a momentous occasion, everyone temporarily dismissed those concerns.

Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi were surrounded by a group of imperial princesses, who personally helped dress and adorn them!

The honor bestowed upon them... was practically celestial!

The Luotian Imperial Clan has endured throughout countless eras, and those engaged in cultivation often have incredibly long life expectancies. Thus, the number of imperial princesses is quite substantial. However, it is rare to see even a single one in their daily lives!

Each princess has their own responsibilities. In fact, they themselves admitted that gathering so many of them together and having such a complete assembly surprised even them.

Faced with this group of princesses, who were each remarkably beautiful, Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi felt slightly uneasy.

It wasn't a matter of self-doubt—their discomfort stemmed from the fact that the identities and statuses of these celestial daughters were overwhelmingly noble!

But this sense of unease was soon dispelled. Though these imperial princesses weren't necessarily affectionate toward everyone, having witnessed countless worldly spectacles, they knew best who to treat warmly!

Because of their deliberate efforts to connect, Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi quickly shed their reservations, and the room's atmosphere grew lively.

"Oh, so beautiful! Gosh, if only I could be as beautiful as this." A tantalizingly charming princess, named Ji Zhenzhen, related in rank to Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi, spoke quite casually.

Yiyi chuckled and replied, "Sister, if you say that, you'll leave us utterly embarrassed. If you claim you're not beautiful, no one on Earth would agree."

"What woman wouldn't want to be even more beautiful?" Ji Zhenzhen sighed. "But this is how I am. This face my parents gave me... I dare not alter it carelessly."

The other ladies couldn't help but laugh; the truth of the matter was indeed undeniable. They dare not arbitrarily change their appearances. In fact, there wasn't even a need for alterations—none of them fell short in terms of looks. Any one of them could be considered stunning.

At that moment, Ji Qingyu suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, prompting everyone in the room to prepare themselves to pay their respects.

Yiyi and Qi Xiaoyu also instinctively began to rise.

"Oh, sit down, sit down! No need for formalities, no need for formalities. I just came to check on my two precious girls!" Ji Qingyu's brows and eyes were brimming with joyful expression.

Yiyi and Qi Xiaoyu exchanged glances. They were aware of Chu Mo's plan to give his mother a surprise. Seeing Ji Qingyu arrive casually dressed, the two exchanged subtle eye contact. Then, Qi Xiaoyu looked at Ji Qingyu and said, "Mother…"

"Ah!" Ji Qingyu responded swiftly.

Since Chu Mo and Qi Xiaoyu had been married for many years, Qi Xiaoyu felt no mental burden in addressing her as "Mother."

"Precious girls, what's the matter? Feeling nervous? Don't be nervous, don't be nervous. Everyone here today will offer you their utmost sincere blessings!" Ji Qingyu said with a warm smile.

"No, not nervous—we just have something else." Qi Xiaoyu blinked her beautiful eyes at Ji Qingyu and asked, "Mother, are you really going to wear those clothes today?"

"Yes, why? Do they not look good?" Ji Qingyu was momentarily taken aback and glanced at her own outfit. Then, she muttered, "Well, maybe a little… But after all, it's your wedding. If I dress too extravagantly, wouldn't that be inappropriate?"

"Auntie, how could it be inappropriate? Today is Little Brother Chu Mo, Xiaoyu, and Yiyi's wedding day. Following the Heaven and Earth rites, they will also pay respects to their parents. Wearing this… do you think it's suitable?" Ji Zhenzhen teased with a playful smile.

She was somewhat aware of certain preparations, though Ji Qingyu seemed to have been nearly the only one left in the dark.

"You're right... Well, should I dress up a bit?" Ji Qingyu hesitated as she spoke.

The truth was, Ji Qingyu was extraordinarily beautiful—her looks rivaled those of Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi. Moreover, as a Great Saint Realm cultivator, maintaining her appearance was child's play. When standing next to Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi, one might mistake her as their peer rather than their elder. They appeared more like three sisters competing in elegance!

"Of course, you should dress up!" Yiyi, although not overly familiar with Ji Qingyu, still spoke seriously. "You not only have to dress up, but you should do so meticulously! Xiaoyu, didn't we prepare some clothes for... for Mother?"

This was the first time Yiyi addressed her as "Mother." There was a slight awkwardness in her tone, carrying a trace of melancholy as she thought of her own family. But Yiyi knew it was unrealistic to dwell on such thoughts. The Yanhuang Domain and the Luotian Immortal Domain were separated by boundless cosmos, impossibly distant!

Furthermore, she didn't expect Chu Mo to consider these things. She didn't blame him. Her man was a towering hero, not someone preoccupied with trivial matters.

She quickly cast aside her fleeting sadness.

Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi's coordination was seamless. Hearing this, Qi Xiaoyu immediately responded, "Oh dear, I almost forgot. Go fetch the clothes we've prepared for Mother—it's in that bundle!"

The princesses couldn't contain their amusement, silently noting, "These two clever young ladies sure are resourceful. Their act is so realistic—it's actually fooling the ever-prudent Ji Qingyu completely."

But they understood that Ji Qingyu hadn't even considered what might be unfolding!

After all, her children were grown, and she had endured numerous trials with Chu Tianji. As husband and wife, they long surpassed the need for rituals to solidify their love. Ji Qingyu would never have guessed that Chu Tianji, that "old rascal," could harbor such a romantic heart.

Once the clothes were retrieved, Ji Qingyu stared blankly at them. Her beautifully delicate face revealed hints of bewilderment as she looked to Qi Xiaoyu and Yiyi for guidance, asking hesitantly, "I… Is it appropriate for me to wear such brightly colored attire?"

"Mother, of course it's appropriate! Today is your son's grand day! Naturally, you must wear festively. Otherwise, how would anyone know who Chu Mo's mother is?" Qi Xiaoyu said earnestly. "Besides, you look so youthful standing next to us—who would even guess you're older?"

"Exactly! Today is such a big occasion; you must dress up properly!" Yiyi added.

"These girls!" Ji Qingyu glanced at Ji Zhenzhen and the others. "Can I really wear this?"

Ji Zhenzhen eyed the gorgeously bright gown in Ji Qingyu's hands and laughed, saying, "Auntie, stop hesitating—quickly put it on! You have a big role today!"

"Yes, Auntie—let us help you get ready!"

"Yes, yes, I'll help too!"

"Me too!"

A group of playful imperial princesses approached noisily, gently urging Ji Qingyu to sit down as they began dressing her.

Ji Qingyu suddenly felt oddly nervous, sitting there and looking at her reflection in the mirror. Her youthful, dazzling beauty gave her an almost bridal appearance. She shook her head with a wry smile, thinking to herself: "Chu Mo and Xiaoyu have been together for so many years—they should have had a child by now! Shouldn't I already be a grandmother? And here I am, feeling like a bride... What nonsense! I must stop overthinking."

Finally, Ji Qingyu gave up resisting, closing her eyes and letting the princesses prepare her.

Meanwhile...

Chu Mo was with Chu Tianji.

Several others were helping him dress.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yalu personally styled Chu Mo's hair.

"You actually know about this?" Chu Mo asked, his face filled with doubt.

"Chu Mo, how could you say that?" Zhang Yalu replied, casually working on his hair. "I'm a girl too, you know? What girl doesn't know how to style hair?"

Jiang Caiyue, standing aside, weakly interjected, "I don't know how… My maids always do it for me."

Zhang Yalu responded blankly, "Jiang, you're a man."

Jiang Caiyue: "..."

Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng nearly burst into laughter nearby.

Ye Qing and the witch seemed to want to laugh but held back.

Jiang Caiyue finally rolled his eyes and muttered, "Just laugh already! Don't hold it in."

"Pfft..."

Ye Qing and the witch couldn't help but laugh.

Jiang Caiyue sighed and said ominously, "Later tonight, my vengeance will fall upon you two—prepare to warm my bed!"

Ye Qing and the witch immediately shut their mouths, faces burning, unwilling to laugh anymore.

Jiang Caiyue huffed and then suddenly asked Chu Mo, "Do you think there will be trouble today?"

Chu Mo smiled faintly, "What rumors have you heard?"

Jiang Caiyue shook his head. "Nothing major, just whispers about some unrest among the Primordial Chaos clans."
