บท 12: Enmity with the Heavenly Emperor
Chen Xiao was not angry because he was already used to cynical taunts. With a calm smile, he said:
"Thank you all for coming today. You should definitely have a drink to celebrate!"
'Damn, he means it…' - From Chen Xiao's behavior, Chen Ge was speechless. The powerful head of the clan had lost all dignity in his eyes by acting like a wimp.
Now observing his behavior, Chen Ge began to understand who the past owner of the body took after, as he himself would not be able to tolerate the sneers of his subordinates instead killing them right here and now.
"I have already shown my respect for coming here, so I don't need any guilt. I've been here long enough, and now it's time for me to leave." - Rising, one of the elders said.
The other elders also got up and left.
Despite his profound composure, anger flashed on Chen Xiao's face. He had always been treated with respect, but ever since he was injured and Chen Ge stopped practicing cultivation, everything had changed.
They no longer gave him the respect he
deserved as the head of the clan, instead, they tended to brag about their sons.
The atmosphere became even colder than before, it seemed like a fight was about to break out. The master of ceremonies noticed this, hastened to end the wedding ceremony and shouted loudly:
"The bride and groom, please head over to your chambers... Distinguished guests, please come to the table."
To the sound of gongs and drums, the couple finished the ritual of bowing and went into Chen Ge's courtyard. The wedding chambers were the room in which Chen Ge lived. The whole room was dominated by the red color, similar to the ceremony, and on the floor was a carpet with embroidered images of a dragon and a phoenix. A golden curtain created a fairy-tale-like atmosphere.
The maid escorted Liang Si Yao out and sat her down on the bed, silently leaving the room, closing the door behind her. The room became so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing.
"Your father has a strong self-control if he could endure all these taunts."
"He is not my father! My father was killed by the Heavenly Emperor…!" - Chen Ge couldn't finish what he wanted to speak about when Liang Si Yao suddenly interrupted him.
"So the rumors turned out to be true…" - Mumbled Liang Si Yao, looking at him without blinking.
Liang Si Yao stood up and walked over to Chen Ge. Her eyes were like two deep chasms, and the graceful curves of her body just attracted the eye.
"It was rumored that your father greatly incensed the Heavenly Emperor so that he issued a death decree. He wanted to kill you too, but for some reason he changed his mind. I wondered if these rumors were true."
Chen Ge closed his eyes. He didn't want her to see the emotions seething deep inside him. But the murderous intent he let out scared the hell out of Liang Si Yao.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Ge looked at Liang Si Yao with a deep frown and replied:
"Ever since I was born, my father has always said that I am the chosen one of the heavens and destined to shake up the world. In order not to let him down, I fully dedicated myself to training, there were many moments when I was on the verge of death." - With a chuckle he continued. - "Genius of the clan, genius of the city, genius of the Empire, every time I proved him right and all, I wanted to hear him praise me, but instead he said it wasn't enough and that I didn't meet his expectations."
"I don't remember at what point it happened, but something… something happened between him and the Heavenly Emperor, since he issued a death decree for my father. Only, when he was dying, he said that he was always proud of me and didn't say it only because he didn't want me to become conceited because of it, pride is one of many obstacles on the way to the top, too much of it becomes poison.
"After his death…" - Chen Ge frowned his eyebrows even more and continued promptly. - "After he died, I swore that there would come a day when the Heavenly Emperor would get what he deserved, but unfortunately…"
At this moment, he looked at Liang Si Yao and laughed, covering half his face with his palm.
"You showed up! A bunch of women chasing after me! And it didn't go the way I planned. At first I wanted to kill you all, but the first attempts failed miserably. Many of the women chasing me were many times stronger than me at the moment and killing them was a pointless endeavor, so I hid and devoted myself to cultivation."
"Although the prison of despair had no resources for cultivation, it was rich in heaven and earth energy. I was patient and slowly but surely, my cultivation level was increasing, I was waiting for the day when I would avenge my father as well as kill all those women, until I met the old man who changed my fate."
"Now that fate has given me the chance to change everything. I will not run away from the past. My goal is still the same, to kill the Heavenly Emperor and eradicate the women who pursued me at the time." - Saying these words, Chen Ge clenched his fists hard.
He wasn't going to stay in Shentou City or the Scarlet Phoenix Empire and even the First Heaven didn't suit his purposes at all, the first priority for him was to regain his former cultivation level by any means necessary.
Liang Si Yao looked at him carefully, in his eyes she saw not only confidence but also cold determination. She sighed and quietly said:
"Now, I am your wife, if you want to kill the women I will lend you my hand... If you want to kill the Heavenly Emperor, I will follow you, even if that path leads to the yellow springs."
