Xianxia’s Working Emperor Chapter 12

Chapter 12: A promise to protect

The moment that red veil dropped, the people were wide eyed. It can be said that the crowd had their breath stolen, with the exception of the Bai family head and a few people. As for the Bai mistress, she quickly turned to Bai Yue and said, “You dumb girl, the wedding ceremony hasn’t started, hurry up and put it back on.”

Bai Yue coldly stared at Xia Qin, “Is this good enough?” Xia Qin was already dumbfounded. Bai Yue slowly put the red veil back on not paying attention to the crowd’s weird gaze. Lu Feng looked at Xia Qin and smiled wryly, ‘So as I was saying Miss Xia, you still dare to say you are the most beautiful girl in the town?”

Everyone around was causing a ruckus, even if Xia Qin still had the face to say she was prettier than Bai Yue, it was like slapping herself on the face. But she unwillingly made a hmph sound, “So what, anyway she is going to die early.”

Lu Feng had a murderous look, “You dare to curse my wife?” Xia Qin coldly sneered, “I’m the one cursing? Is there anyone here who does not know that Miss Bai can’t live past sixteen. Today she is around fifteen years old, it is only a short while before she turns sixteen. When that happens, she will die, am I right about this. So your master didn’t tell you?”

The guests burst into a large commotion, they were all discussing Bai Yue’s problem. Then the Bai mistress hurriedly interrupted, “The Living Immortal has already said, if they were to marry then there would be no problems.” The Bai family head also said, “Correct.”

Except Xia Qin sneered, “Because of him? I can’t see what kind of special power he has to cure Miss Bai.” Then Bai Yue could not help but to interject, “Xia Qin, whether I die or not does not concern you. Today is my wedding day, if you came to deliberately cause trouble, then you are not welcome here.”

Xia Qin proudly said, “Beautiful women suffer bad fates1, ha ha, it is perfect for you.” Lu Feng all of a sudden arrived in front of Xia Qin. Xia Qin was in shock as Lu Feng hit her, sending her flying in front of everyone. Making her hit squarely the exit, Xia Qin spat out a mouthful of blood making the onlookers frightened. She then cursed, “b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You dare to hit me.”

Lu Feng said coldly “You insulted my wife, so you deserved that.” Xia Qin angrily responded “Fine, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d. You sure got the guts to hit me, are you not aware of who I am?!”

Everyone thought Lu Feng would be afraid, except Lu Feng sneered, “I don’t care who you are, when you’re here, you better be obedient when attending the wedding. Especially not cursing my wife. Including your previous words are just like farts.”

“And if I don’t, what would you do?” Xia Qin hissed. Lu Feng then took a step towards her, and she started to fear for her life. “Fine I admit… Miss Bai is better looking that I am.” Xia Qin hastily said. The onlookers were shocked, and they wondered if Lu Feng would’ve hit Xia Qin if she didn’t admit her defeat.

As for Lu Feng, he smiled and satisfiedly turning around, ‘Mother-in-law, head, let us continue on.” At the moment Lu Feng acted as if the previous events hand never happened, and the Bai mistress went to hasten the master of ceremonies to continue.

Xia Qin was helped up by the guards and was taken aside to sit down. Both of her eyes stared daggers into Lu Feng, and she bitterly thought “Motherf.u.c.ker, just you wait.”

“First bow to the heavens.”

“Second bow to the elders.”

“Husband and wife, exchange bows.”
This was a simple and traditional wedding ceremony, yet Lu Feng couldn’t help but feel excited. After exchanging bows, he smiled at Miss Bai and said “Today, in front of everyone, I want to give my wife a present.”

Everyone curiously looked at what Lu Feng wanted to give Bai Yue, after all the Bai family does not lack anything. Even Bai Yue was fascinated by Lu Feng’s sudden initiative. As for the Bai mistress excitedly smiled, “Oh? What is it?”

Lu Feng merely grinned at the audience. Then, like magic, roses as red as blood flew out of his hand, covering the entire hall in crimson. Standing amongst the roses, was an impressed Bai Yue.

The surrounding people were impressed, especially the women who had envious looks. Even Xia Qin could not resist but to admire the mysterious flowers. Lu Feng took one and placed it in Bai Yue’s hand as he said, “My wife, from today onwards, I will definitely take good care of you. Whether you are strong or weak, whether you are dead or alive. I definitely won’t let anyone bully you.

At that moment, the whole place went silent. Everyone was swayed by Lu Feng’s actions, and some had tears welling from their eyes. Mistress Bai started to cry tears of joy, and Bai Yao beamed proudly. “Splendid” he said. The hall exploded with applause, and the whole place bustled with excitement and joy.

After that, Lu Feng faced the audience and smiled. “If you like these roses, you may take some home.” Having said that, he made more roses appear out of his hands. Many women took the roses, and even a few men did for the sake of pleasing their own wives.

In an instant, the whole place was filled with excitement and laughter, as well as people wishing Lu Feng and Bai Yue a fulfilling marriage. When it started to get late, Mistress Bai escorted Bai Yue back, while Lu Feng stayed to chat with the guests.

In regards to drinking wine, Lu Feng was not bad. Last time during parties, he was the one who drank the most. That’s why today he also was accompanying the Bai family head, being offered wine by numerous people. As for Xia Qin, she had already left in anger.

A short while after, Tian Lang followed along, “Miss Xia, why are you so anxious to leave?” Xia Qin made a hmph sound, “Would you want to stay there and watch them ?”

Tian Lang jokingly laughed, “What? Then are you planning to just forget about it?” Naturally Xia Qin was not satisfied, “How is that even possible.” Tian Lang joyfully replied, “How about we join hands2” Xia Qin suspiciously asked, “Join hands?”

Tian Lang made an En sound, “Yes, join forces. Make the Bai family collapse, and then make that brat come and beg us, doesn’t that sound great?”

Xia Qin frowned, ‘The Bai family is Qinglong town’s third strongest family, how could it be so easy.” Tian Lang proudly replied, “They own shops within the town not much more than ours. If both of our families join forces we can drive down the prices. How can a single family compare to both of our family’s income?”

Xia Qin immediately agreed, “Good, this is how we will do it then.” Tian Lang laughed, “Alright let’s go and discuss further.” Xia Qin made an En sound and before leaving she glared at the Bai family mansion, snorting in anger before walking away.

Lu Feng however was busy for the whole afternoon, after the guests slowly started to leave. Lu Feng already was already drunk, as for guards in the courtyard they did not dare to escort Lu Feng in since they aren’t allowed inside.

Lu Feng could only unsteadily walk back inside the wooden house, just after entering the wooden house all of a sudden it was like he didn’t even drink a single drop. This was unexpected by him as he secretly whispered, “Strange, today I drank so much but I don’t even feel drunk or sleepy. Is it just that the quality of this world’s wine is lousy?”

Lu Feng then intend to lie down on his bed, after all the events during the day could make a person collapse. When he was about to lie down, a sound that was drinking and eating was heard, “Stand there and don’t move.”

Lu Feng stopped what he was about to do and saw Bai Yue descending from the stairs, Lu Feng then hurriedly laughed, “My wife.” Bai Yue coldly replied, “I already said before, what we had was just a fake marriage. When there is no one around don’t call me wife.”

Lu Feng made an Oh sound as if he was lost in thought,Bai Yue then continued “My mother said, you did well today and asked me to entertain you. I don’t know how to entertain you, here is some gold you take some and go.”

After saying this, Bai Yue threw a bag full of gold taels towards Lu Feng, Then Lu Feng watched Bai Yue slowly turning around and asked, “Is what Xia Qin said true?” Bai Yue stunned and replied, “There is some things that are decided by heaven, why bother.”

However Lu Feng as if unsatisfied he said, “Of course I care, you are my wife after all.” Bai Yue remained silent for a long time before saying, “Didn’t I said just now, not to call me wife.” Soon after Bai Yue continued up the stairs, at the same time the corner of her eyes had tears glistening.

Because today Lu Feng infront of everyone had protected her, even as far as wounding Xia Qin. Even gifting her so many flowers, she wanted to say it didn’t move her. But she could not say it, just like before she coldly walked up the stairs.

Leaving Lu Feng who was staring as if he had been struck dumb behind, at this moment the white cat was rubbing against Lu Feng’s leg then Lu Feng picked it up and said, “You wait here, I’ll go find my wife and ask her.”

Then Lu Feng left the place, the guards were shocked when they Lu Feng suddenly walked out lively, Ye Gu wondered, “Young master, are you well.” Lu Feng only smiled, “I’m not hungover anymore, don’t worry I’m completely fine.”

Everyone wondered what was a hangover, Lu Feng quickly went to ask the mistress where to find his wife. When he arrived in front of the head’s house he heard the mistress crying, while the head helplessly said, “It’s ok, stop crying didn’t the living immortal say after they get married then there would be no problems.”

The mistress was still sobbing, “But I saw the black spot is still there.” The Bai family head still tried to comfort her, “ Maybe after a few days it will go away.”

The Bai mistress was still unrelentlessly crying, “What if that doesn’t happen?” At this moment the door was opened, Lu Feng stood there and asked, “Mother-in-law, Father-in-law, what has happened with Yue’er?”
