Chapter 1861: Chapter 1857: Ten Days Later, the Wedding Day (First Update)
Xue An didn’t answer directly. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly began to speak.
"But I still don’t understand why you would agree to Huyue’s marriage. Shouldn’t you be finding someone strong enough to be Huyue’s partner?"
"It’s very simple. Once I die, Qingqiu Fox Country will immediately become a target. If his partner has the slightest ill intent, the entire Fox Clan might face destruction."
"Indeed, this girl is just a mortal, but at least they truly love each other, and that’s enough."
Xue An slightly raised an eyebrow, "Does the Great Elder also believe in love?"
"I didn’t in the past, but now, with not much time left, the more I feel life is lonely and uninteresting, power and fame are all just fleeting illusions, and love, on the contrary, seems lovely and precious... besides..."
The Great Elder smiled, but didn’t mention what else there was, instead asking, "When do you think would be a suitable time for Huyue’s wedding?"
Xue An was slightly taken aback, then with a strange expression said, "Are you so sure I will agree?"
"Of course!" A sly smile appeared on the Great Elder’s face, "In reality, asking you is just a formality because from the moment you stepped into this Jade Tower, you already had the answer in your heart, didn’t you?"
Xue An gave the Great Elder a deep look and then sighed lightly, "That was careless of me. I should’ve realized long ago that there’s none among you who lived for thousands of years who is a simpleton."
"You flatter me!" The Great Elder chuckled, but suddenly started coughing violently.
This coughing seemed as if it would cough his lungs out, full of ominous signs.
Xue An watched quietly, but a hint of worry appeared in his eyes.
Finally, the Great Elder stopped coughing and, after a few heavy breaths, a look of exhaustion filled his eyes, and even more gray hairs appeared on his head.
Xue An said in a deep voice, "Can’t hold on much longer?"
The Great Elder chuckled at himself, "Just about. I can feel the Heavenly Dao’s rejection getting stronger and stronger. At most, I have half a month before I’m forcibly obliterated."
Xue An was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Then let Huyue’s wedding be ten days from now. Before you die, I must ensure your peace of mind."
The Great Elder didn’t ask why ten days or why Xue An said to ensure his peace of mind.
He smiled, then nodded solemnly, "Thank you!"
"Don’t thank me. With my relationship with Huyue, I naturally can’t stand by and do nothing."
With that, Xue An turned around and said lightly, "So, you should take care of your health. Don’t die before the time comes!"
Having said this, Xue An started to walk out.
The Great Elder watched his back, a trace of solace appearing in his eyes.
Because he knew that since Xue An had said so, it meant he had taken up the matter of Qingqiu Fox Country.
When Xue An walked out of the Jade Tower, the people hurriedly approached him.
"How was it? What did the Great Elder say?" Huyue asked urgently.
Xue An smiled slightly, "The Great Elder said that in ten days, it will be an auspicious day, most suitable for marriage. So your wedding will be set for that day."
Huyue looked at Xue An in a daze, and only after a long while did he say, "Did the Great Elder really say that to you? You’re not joking, are you?"
"A joke? How could a matter like this be a joke?"
With that, Xue An raised his hand and patted Huyue on the shoulder, "Start preparing as soon as possible. You only have ten days!"
Then Xue An turned and left.
Huyue looked at Xue An’s back with a face full of disbelief.
After a long time, Hu Ying softly said, "Brother, what should we do next?"
Huyue gritted his teeth tightly, "Inform all parties immediately that I will marry my partner in ten days."
Soon, this news spread far and wide.
When the news that Huyue’s wedding would be held in ten days spread, the whole Qingqiu Fox Country was in an uproar.
"My goodness, did I hear wrong? The Great Elder actually agreed to this marriage?"
"Who says? This matter doesn’t even sound real. Would the Great Elder really agree?"
"Who knows, there might be some situations we’re unaware of!"
"Cough cough, the Demon Race is going to be lively now."
As the last of the Fox Clan said, when the news spread, the entire Demon Race was shocked.
"What? The eldest son of Qingqiu Fox Country is actually getting married? Who is the Demon Clan daughter?"
"I’ve heard it’s not someone from the Demon Race, but a member of the Human Clan!"
"What the heck, did I hear that right? The eldest son of Qingqiu Fox Country is marrying a Human Clan girl? Have the elders of Qingqiu Fox Country gone mad? How could they agree to such an absurd marriage?"
Almost every Demon Race member, upon hearing this, initially thought the news was fake.
Because no matter how you looked at it, this was something that should never happen.
But the facts were as they were, leaving them with no choice but to believe.
Fire Rat Clan.
As an ancient bloodline passed down through the ages, the Fire Rat Clan, though not well-known, is a truly powerful faction within the Demon Race.
At this time,
The eldest princess of the Fire Rat Clan was in her room, styling herself in front of a mirror.
Because the Fire Rat Clan’s bloodline was exceedingly strong, this eldest princess perfectly inherited all the characteristics of the Fire Rat Clan.
Not to say she looked sharp and unattractive, but at least her features gave an odd impression.
Nevertheless, the eldest princess of the Fire Rat Clan felt good about herself, constantly applying makeup in the mirror.
At this moment, a small maid rushed in frantically.
"Miss, something bad has happened. Master Hu Yeyu is about to get married!"
With these words, the eyebrow pencil in the eldest princess’s hand instantly dropped, and she asked harshly, "What did you say? Repeat that!"
The little maid trembled all over, but still mustered up the courage to say, "Master Hu Yeyu of Qingqiu Fox Country is about to get married!"
The Fire Rat Clan’s eldest princess’s face turned extremely unattractive, "Is it with Ao Yi, the second princess of the Dragon Clan?"
She was aware of the marriage between Huyue and Ao Yi, hence she asked.
Unexpectedly, the little maid shook her head, "No! I’ve heard the one Master Hu Yeyu is marrying is a Human Clan member!"
"Human Clan?" The Fire Rat Clan’s eldest princess asked in shock.
"Yes, the Human Clan!"
At this, the Fire Rat Clan’s eldest princess’s face became uncertain.
As a fellow ancient bloodline, this Fire Rat Clan’s eldest princess had played with Huyue since childhood, and could be called childhood sweethearts.
People used to joke that this Fire Rat Clan’s eldest princess would surely marry Huyue in the future.
Huyue only listened to these remarks casually, never taking them to heart.
But this Fire Rat Clan’s eldest princess believed them.
And had always considered herself Huyue’s childhood friend.
