Heavenly Star (Web Novel)
chapter-193

Just like the hornet hive being poked on, the alarm in the area of the palace entrance rang, huge troops of red imperial guard rushed forward. Ye Wuchen’s both brows were tightly knitted together, his facial color was terribly cold, regardless of everything he dashed towards the deepest part of the imperial palace, all those who had blocked him ahead, before they approached they were already being killed by Tong Xin’s Heaven Punishment Blade. They must feel glad, that if Tong Xin was still being the Woman Punished by the Heavens before, their dead bodies might not be still intact when left behind.

Those imperial guards rushed forth like some tidal waves, but simply no one could stop him. They could only clamor behind him as they chased after, then immediately they lost track of him.

The Luan Feng Hall was already jam-packed with guests, Feng Lie was smiling ear to ear as he was seated in the head seat, his face without his usual imposing feat, but instead he was happy with a smiling expression. Very quickly, gongs and drums echoed outside of the palace hall, everyone stood up in succession, beaming with happiness they forged ahead.

Ye ShuiYao with her entire body wrapped in a red dress was being supported by the bridesmaid, striding stiff steps as she cross over a fire pan. Marriage was supposed to be the happiest moment in a woman’s life, but for Ye ShuiYao, it will be a sorrowful one. This is an unfamiliar country, in the wedding day not just her parents, even a single familiar person or someone who knew her wasn’t even around, and no one ever sought her opinion as well. She was just like puppet, moving rigidly. But since she had chosen this, she must not regret it, she would rather destroy herself, than to destroy the Ye family, moreover she wouldn’t want to destroy…… Ye Wuchen.

The heaven had given her a painful choice, for the sake of Ye family, for the sake of Ye Wuchen, she used her own future as the price, as she had chosen to do this.

Feng Lie was laughing heartily, today, he had made an exception to be the host of the wedding, and he impatiently made Feng Ling to marry Ye ShuiYao who was the first time being here in the Gale Nation, with her heart and mind still not in the right mood, this was obviously not without a reason.

Crossed over the fire pan, shot a red arrow, Feng Ling and Ye ShuiYao were each being supported by their best man and bridesmaid as they headed inside the center of Luan Feng Hall, beside their ears, were the exclaiming and laughing sounds of the men and women. Feng Ling’s face was wearing a smile, using his meaningful glances to respond to them one by one, today with his adornment and expression, looked uniquely handsome, his temperament was even more elegant, causing people to exclaim in admiration. And the happiness inside his heart was unprecedentedly rich and powerful, he walked ahead high-spirited, his peripheral vision was watching attentively at Ye ShuiYao who was standing beside him. For the first time, he was very much thankful for his own title of Gale Nation Crown Prince, if he wasn’t the crown prince, facing such woman that will be impossible to be reached by ordinary men, perhaps he will just be looking at her from afar all his life…… perhaps he didn’t even have the opportunity to look at her figure from behind.

Lending an arm to support Ye ShuiYao, she walked ahead like a machine, when the bridesmaid halted her steps, grasped firmly on her, she stopped her footsteps. The entire surrounding was in an uproar, she didn’t try to listen to what they were talking about, she stood there for a moment, a dignified man seemed to have said something, she wasn’t able to hear it clearly, the world in her surrounding, was making her muddleheaded, she was inharmonious with them.

Feng Lie used his imposing voice to speak his opening remarks for the wedding, all the eyes were focused on Feng Ling and Ye ShuiYao inside the hall, majority of them at Ye ShuiYao. Based on Gale Nation’s tradition, before doing the ritual kneeling to heaven and earth, the groom had to first raise up the bridal veil in the bride’s head. Among these people, absolute majority of them only heard about the splendid name of Ye ShuiYao, but still haven’t seen her in person, all of them were curious as to how beautiful this woman of Ye family looked like that caused the crown prince to be infatuated and head over heels in love with her.

Feng Ling with his face full of smile, was holding a steelyard beam wrapped in red cloth that was handed over by the best man, he carefully went over to raise up the veil from Ye ShuiYao’s head. During this time, a burst of riot happened outside the palace hall.

Ye Wuchen grabbed a random palace maid and asked, he was able to know where Ye ShuiYao was at this moment, with gritted teeth he dashed ahead using his fastest speed. Due to his and Tong Xin’s quick speed, the speed of the news that a “murderer has intruded” was slower than them, Feng Lie and Feng Ling were basically still unaware of it, this time Feng Lie fiercely knitted his brows, his face was covered densely with dark clouds, as he yelled out: “What happened!”

Before anyone could step ahead and announce it, the two crimson lanterns hanging outside the palace hall simultaneously dropped on the ground, the candle flame inside them quickly burned up the two lanterns. Afterwards, the incredibly fast white figure rushed in from outside the palace hall, due to its speed was too fast, the people thought that it was just a white shadow flashed past before their eyes, he had already brushed through them, with his arm grabbing on to Ye ShuiYao’s slender waist, he quickly took her as they retreated back.

In this short duration of time, large groups of imperial guards rushed inside the Luan Feng Hall, the doorway was completely packed, Ye Wuchen took Ye ShuiYao as they stayed in a corner, a hand pulled off the red veil from her head.

Four eyes looking at each other, looking at Ye ShuiYao who was really really close to him, Ye Wuchen smiled delightfully, that was a happiness and love that came from within the heart, and the affection that was gentle and warm. Ye ShuiYao was similarly staring at him, just like from an ice-cold hell, she suddenly floated high up in the clouds, all of it seemed so unrealistic like a dream.

After a short moment, her tears fell down like rain.

For her, in this world, nothing else was more touching than this very moment.

Ye ShuiYao leaned her body tightly beside him, forgot where she was right now, facing what sort of people. The only voice in her heart right now is him, because of her, he had came to the Gale Nation regardless of everything…… as compared to herself who had tried to escape from this feeling, she was utterly insignificant…...

This was not a dream, because he was right beside her now, tightly hugging her, this sense of touch was realistic, the smell was so familiar.

He came, the scenario that had appeared in her dream last night, now happened before her eyes like a dream.

In an instant her heart melted, in her heart, she softly whispered in silence…… Xiao Chen…… If I were able to leave this place with you today, in this life, even if I had to violate the morality of the human relationship, suffer all sorts of cold criticisms in this world, I will still stay with you forever.

Now that the people could see clearly, it was actually a young man with full white cloth, handsome beyond compare, with less than twenty year of age. This time few hundreds of imperial guards have completely surrounded the palace hall, impenetrable, those imperial guards who have rushed inside were all surrounded over him, guarding the emperor, princes and aristocrats behind their backs, he was pressed towards the corner of the wall, having no chance to get away. But, his face was cold, yet only didn’t contain any bit of fear.

Feng Lie’s entire body was full of cold sweat, with that speed a while ago, if his target wasn’t Ye ShuiYao, but his own life, supposedly his head will be missing right now. At the same time, he was wondering why Feng ChaoYang didn’t show up, was it because the opponent didn’t contain any murderous spirit?

It wasn’t because Feng ChaoYang didn’t show up, but rather…… on the roof of the Luan Feng Hall, Feng ChaoYang was holding the Shattering Wind Blade, those calm and sharp eyes were continuously trembling. Before him, a young girl fully dressed in black holding the white-haired girl’s hand, looking at him face to face with an emotionless face.

Those familiar eyes and the terrible breath that firmly locked his entire body, causing his both hands to tremble. Because she was actually the awe-inspiring…… Woman Punished by the Heavens! The only one frightening demon in the world that let him know what it was like to be scared.

“Hurry up and arrest him!” Feng Lie stood up, then roared.

The guards were about to take action, when Feng Ling yelled out: “Wait a moment!” He proceeded a few steps forward, then said: “Father, it’s inappropriate to take action right now, let’s interrogate him first.”

Feng Lie furrowed his brows and nodded his head.

The reason why Feng Ling didn’t want them to take action was because he was afraid that they might hurt Ye ShuiYao, as for the man beside her who suddenly intruded in, he wish he could cut him into pieces. Destroying his grand wedding in the first place, now to his surprise…… he was even hugging Ye ShuiYao tightly in his arms, the woman whom he had dreamed about and had never touched even just a corner of her clothes, Ye ShuiYao didn’t even resisted, moreover, that exchange of glances a while ago made him burned with envy, even if he was a thousand times unwilling to, he couldn’t deny that, Ye ShuiYao’s heart already belonged to someone, and that person had travelled a thousand miles just to come to Gale Nation today, and bursted inside this place regardless of the consequences.

And for this man whether his looks, personality traits, the courage daring to interrupt a wedding, or the astonishing strength he had shown, and with this time he manifested a calm composure, he couldn’t deny that, he indeed had a greater qualification to match Ye ShuiYao.

“Sire, you are?” Feng Ling was now gloomy, doing his utmost to suppress his inner emotions.

Ye Wuchen narrowed his eyes, using his gloomy eyes he looked at the Gale Nation Crown Prince who was planning to take Ye ShuiYao, then he coldly said: “Ye family, Ye Wuchen!”

The entire surrounding went silent, Feng Ling was fully startled, Feng Lie’s brows tightened, caught unprepared for this response, even all the people who were present, almost a greater number of people knew about this name. Tian Long Nation Ye family’s only son, a young talented man was regarded as an amazing man, the most crucial point was, he had a very unique identity that caused people to fear him --- the God of Sword’s disciple!

The Gale Nation was a country that worshipped heroes, for Chu CangMing, aside from respect, they also have fear.

“Tian Long Nation Ye family Wuchen?” Feng Lie raised his brows, coldly shouted: “I don’t care who you are, today you resolutely intruded inside the imperial palace, killing so many imperial guards, disrupted my son’s wedding, you are guilty of your crimes!”

In the past when he displayed his might, it will certainly shock all civil and military officials until they kept quiet out of fear, wouldn’t dare to let out their gasps, yet they’ve seen Ye Wuchen completely unaffected, his expression was still as cold as ever, absolutely have no fear, being furious in mind he somewhat secretly admired him for a bit. However, Feng Ling suddenly stepped forward and said: “Father, please calm down, please listen to my opinion.”

Hearing Ye Wuchen stated his name, Feng Ling’s heavy heart was suddenly set free. As it turned out the matter wasn’t like he had expected, the person was indeed Ye ShuiYao’s brother. With a huge transformation in his heart, his impression towards Ye Wuchen was completely changed, his heart couldn’t help but started to admire him. Rumor has it that the only son of Ye family was the dragon among all people, sure enough it was true, to get rid of everything else, although his actions today was extremely rude and impetuous, but merely with this courage, it was absolutely unable to be achieved by other people. But judging by the way Ye ShuiYao looked at him, their sibling love must certainly be excellent, or else Ye Wuchen would never make such crazy moves, so…… if today Ye Wuchen was seriously hurt, Ye ShuiYao might be furious at him, instead, if he protected him with great measure, Ye ShuiYao will be grateful towards him, and it might change her point of view, and will no longer treat him coldly.

Thinking about these, he unexpectedly rejoiced that Ye Wuchen had rudely and impetuously intruded in. With this thought, he faced the imperial guards who were watching covetously at Ye Wuchen and said: “Lay down your weapons.”

Those imperial guards hesitated for a moment, then put away their blades, they retreated a few steps back, but still with their vigilant faces.
