Chapter 538: I Don't Agree

Chapter 538: Chapter 539: I Don’t Agree

Yun Misha gazed up at the vast sky. ‘If that boy is from the Human Race, the Celestial Dao won’t respond. The wedding ceremony will be cut short, and my goal will be achieved.’

This was Yun Misha’s last hope, short of intervening forcefully herself.

‘Damn you, Celestial Dao, don’t you dare mess this up for me!’

As Yun Misha screamed in her heart, the vast, pale sky indeed remained silent and unchanged.

A smile finally touched the corners of Yun Misha’s lips. ‘That boy really isn’t from the Demon Race. Maybe his name is fake, too. It would be a miracle if the Celestial Dao responded to such a false prayer!’

“Mengshang, the heavens do not approve. Your marital bond…”

Yun Mengshang knew Chen Dong’s true identity, so the Celestial Dao’s lack of a response was within her expectations.

She cut Yun Misha off. “Wait, Aunt Xia. Perhaps the prayer just needs…”

Yet at that very moment, the Great Dao tore through the pale sky. A celestial light, acknowledging their union, shone down and enveloped Chen Dong and Yun Mengshang.

‘How can this be?!’ The same thought flared in the minds of both Yun Mengshang and Yun Misha.

Obsession gleamed in Yun Mengshang’s eyes. ‘It doesn’t matter anymore. Whatever Li Xu’s identity is, as long as our marital bond is forged, our fates will be intertwined for this lifetime. I’ll never regret it!’

Now, only the final ceremonial bow remained. Once completed, the Celestial Dao would bind them with the red string of fate, and their marital bond for this lifetime would never be broken.

Yun Mengshang bowed with reverence. Her Charm Technique compelled Chen Dong, forcing him to bow as well.

“I object!”

Two cold shouts rang out at the same time!

All of Fox Immortal City erupted in an uproar!

Whether their hearts were filled with blessings, envy, or pity, everyone was stunned into silence.

Confusion filled Yun Misha’s eyes. One of the voices had been hers, but the other had completely drowned it out. ‘Who was that?’

Descending like a falling leaf, Zisang Jin appeared in midair, clad in a peach-pink dress. Her almond-shaped eyes were narrowed, her brows furrowed in a cold glare.

“What kind of joke is this, Celestial Dao?! How can a prayer like that even count!”

With a sharp cry, Zisang Jin confronted the Celestial Dao head-on.

Yun Misha was stunned. She only dared to criticize the Celestial Dao in her thoughts. ‘To say something like that out loud… isn’t she afraid of being punished by the Celestial Dao?’

The thought had barely formed when the Dao rhythm in the vast sky began to tremble. A bolt of lightning materialized out of nowhere and shot down toward Zisang Jin!

Zisang Jin covered her mouth in a show of naive shock, her almond eyes wide with feigned horror, as if she truly didn’t understand what was happening.

“Whoa, can’t even say anything, huh!”

Yun Misha was fuming. ‘What kind of ally is this? Cursing the Celestial Dao in the middle of a heaven-praying ritual? She’s simply asking to be killed!’

She didn’t dare to intervene. For one, she had no confidence she could save this foolish human from the Celestial Dao’s punishment. For another, as a member of the Demon Race, her instincts restrained her, even though she had already begun to think of the newly arrived Zisang Jin as an ally.

Amidst her apparent terror, Zisang Jin produced a Dao Talisman. It erupted in a protective Divine Light. The Celestial Dao’s lightning bolt touched the light and simply vanished.

Yun Misha was utterly shocked. But it wasn’t just her; every living being in Fox Immortal City was equally stunned. What kind of Talisman could possibly block the Celestial Dao!

As a Divinity Transformation cultivator, Yun Misha’s insight was keener than most. ‘Only a Tier Nine Talisman can block the Celestial Dao,’ she realized. ‘Since when did the Human Race possess something of such a high tier?’

Within the Divine Light, Zisang Jin regained her composure. ‘I may have used this Tier Nine Sheltering Light Talisman a bit early,’ she thought, ‘but I was going to have to use it eventually. I wouldn’t have dared to come here without it!’

She had heard Yun Misha’s cry, but because of what had happened with the Cyan Emperor, there was no way she would team up with the Fox Demon Race. Her proud and detached demeanor was a clear sign of her loathing for them.

“Okay, okay, I won’t say it again! You’re really that petty? You strike me down for just one little sentence!”

The rift of the Celestial Dao in the sky seemed to hesitate. After a series of tremors, it looked as if another bolt of lightning was about to descend.

Zisang Jin quickly added, “Fine, I won’t say any more, alright?!”

Only then did the turbulent Dao rhythm finally subside.

“Enough!” A resentful cry rang out from the Heaven-Praying Platform.

Tears of bitter sorrow streamed down her beautiful face. She desperately tried to use her Charm Technique to make Chen Dong complete the final bow, but it was as if she had lost control of him. He remained standing there, unable to be forced into the final bow.

Zisang Jin stared at Yun Mengshang, who was dressed in a phoenix crown and brocade robe. It wasn’t the first time they had met. After the matter of the Cyan Emperor and Yun Mixue’s death, the two had clashed many times, which was the source of their long-standing feud.

“I told you, I object to this heaven-praying wedding!”

Tears continued to stream down Yun Mengshang’s face, a sight that would make anyone’s heart ache. Biting her red lip, she spoke with absolute hatred, “Zisang Jin, I want you dead!”

Zisang Jin gave a wicked, sarcastic smile. “You’re the one stealing another woman’s husband, yet you have the nerve to play the victim and threaten me!”

“You’re lying!”

“Am I lying? Then why don’t you release your Charm Technique and see if he says he’s willing?”

Zisang Jin had dealt with the Fox Demon Race on more than one occasion. She could tell at a glance that Chen Dong was under the effects of a charm.

Yun Mengshang’s body trembled uncontrollably. Even while charmed, Chen Dong was unwilling to perform the final bow with her. ‘If I released the charm, would I have any control over the situation at all?’

Zisang Jin saw right through her. “Heh,” she chuckled. “Forget releasing the charm. Even now, if you call him ‘husband,’ will he even respond?”

Then, she added playfully, “Husband, why don’t you say something? Husband!”

Her only goal was to infuriate Yun Mengshang. The two shared a deep-seated enmity, and seeing Yun Mengshang tremble with rage brought her immense satisfaction.

But just then, dream-like snowflakes began to drift down from the sky!
