Chapter 778 - 778 Wedding
778 Wedding
The King had started cultivating the forbidden area’s martial arts after Madam Jiang left the Ghost Clan. At first, his eyebrows and eyes became more and more resolute. Gradually, an unknown “tattoo” appeared on his face. About a year or two later, he put on a mask and never showed his true face again.
Therefore, no one could tell what he had become.
A maid accidentally saw his face and was killed by him. Grandma was the only one who survived after seeing his face, but Grandma could not treat his face.
By the time Qiu Wuya came to treat him, not only was his face ruined, but his entire body was also covered in hideous “tattoos”. Qiu Wuya had only seen his arm before, and from the symptoms on his arm, he could tell if his pill had taken effect.
!!
This was something that the entire clan knew.
Therefore, when the only person who had seen the King’s face change insisted that this was the king, Qiu Wuya’s refutation became pale.
“Elders, believe me! This man is not the King! He’s their man! I, I, I… I really saw it with my own eyes! He was the one who carried him!” Qiu Wuya pointed at Shadow Thirteen.
Shadow Thirteen: “Are you blind? I don’t know him.”
Shadow Six: “I don’t know him either.”
Qiu Wuya spat out a mouthful of blood. “?!”
Qiu Wuya gritted his teeth and said, “You don’t know each other… Alright, then tell me, why are you here? Why did you fight with the King?”
Shadow Thirteen didn’t even look up. “We’re Madam’s guards. We came to the clan with Madam. As for fighting, you have to ask your King. Who knows why he suddenly went crazy?”
“You…” Qiu Wuya was infuriated. However, the guards who had fought earlier were either dead or unconscious. Not a single one of them could testify.
All of a sudden, he saw Cang Ying waking up from his coma. “Sir Cang!”
Asura kicked Cang Ying unconscious.
Qiu Wuya: “…”
Qiu Wuya’s lungs were about to explode from anger. He glanced at Asura at the side and had an idea. “Elders! This is Asura from the forbidden area! Asura was stolen by them!”
The old man said, “You’re wrong. Asura was stolen by that Nanzhao person who infiltrated the clan. We b.u.mped into him halfway and s.n.a.t.c.hed him back.”
Qiu Wuya was so angry that he fell to the ground. After a while, he suppressed his anger and said coldly, “Elder Li, don’t forget that they betrayed the King. The king once sent the Black Envoys to kill them!”
The old man said calmly, “That was a misunderstanding. We have never betrayed the King. It was someone with ulterior motives who provoked us, causing the King to think that we had disobeyed his orders. However, if we really defected, we will never be able to rush back to the clan.”
Qiu Wuya said, “You returned to the clan because you wanted to find the medicinal primer!”
The old man snorted. “Nonsense!”
“You’re so noisy.” Yan Jiuchao held his head that was about to explode from the pain and groaned impatiently.
The event location instantly fell silent. Everyone looked at him. Yu Wan tried her best to reduce her presence and protected Xiaobao in her arms. Asura used his wide body to shield her behind him.
After hearing this, Xiaobao raised his head and was about to open his mouth to call his father when Yu Wan gestured for him to keep quiet. Xiaobao obediently laid his head back in his mother’s arms.
The old man took two steps forward on his knees and bowed to Yan Jiuchao. “My King!” Yan Jiuchao was extremely smart and would definitely cooperate with his plan. The old man said confidently, “Did the King practice martial arts again just now? You almost went berserk. It’s all thanks to Ah Dou and Asura’s timely intervention.”
If this chaos was caused by the King’s cultivation, it would make sense. They had no choice but to fight the King, and no one could blame them.
Unexpectedly, when Yan Jiuchao heard his words, he frowned. “Who are you?”
The old man was stunned. Could it be that he was acting as if he had been away for three years and had changed so much that he couldn’t recognize him at a glance? The old man cleared his throat. “I am the priest, King.”
“You’re the priest?” Yan Jiuchao looked at Grandma with a blank expression.
The old man realized that something was wrong. Yan Jiuchao’s expression did not seem to be fake. He really did not know him! How could this be?
The old man looked at Old Cui.
Old Cui covered his eyes. Alright, the aftereffects were here. His brain was damaged.
Qing Yan was stunned. He pointed at his nose and said, “What about me?”
Yan Jiuchao looked at him strangely. “Who are you?”
Qing Yan felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Little Jiuchao did not know him anymore!
“Young, Young…” Shadow Six almost blurted out the word “Young Master”. Shadow Thirteen pinched his arm and quickly stopped talking. He kept winking at his Young Master. His eyes were about to have a stroke. It was hard not to notice.
Yan Jiuchao glanced at him indifferently. “Why are you looking at me?”
Shadow Six’s heart skipped a beat. Oh no, Young Master didn’t know him anymore! Oh my G.o.d, did Young Master’s fall damage his brain? How could he have forgotten about them?
Qiu Wuya had also noticed some clues. This fellow seemed to have lost his memory and didn’t remember his companions. This was too wonderful! Let’s see how he’s going to disguise himself as the King and deal with the aftermath of this group of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds?
Yu Wan handed Xiaobao to Asura and squeezed through the crowd. She squatted down and looked at Yan Jiuchao, who was sitting on the ground with a confused expression. She whispered, “What about me? Don’t tell me you even forgot about me?”
Yan Jiuchao looked at Yu Wan with a strange gaze. Yu Wan understood that he did not remember her either.
Yu Wan said, “I’m Ah Wan.”
“What Wan?” Yan Jiuchao asked.
Yu Wan took a deep breath. “Ah Wan, Yu Ah Wan!”
Yan Jiuchao frowned strangely.
“Yan Jiuchao, if you were drugged one day, will you forget me?”
“Forget what? That you’re ugly? Oh, I don’t think so.”
What a guy who went back on his word! Even if he didn’t get anyone to drug him, he ended up like Prince Yan and forgot about his son and wife!
Yu Wan was so angry that she wanted to punch him! She stood up to hug Xiaobao!
The atmosphere at the event location froze. The elders looked at each other. The King seemed to have forgotten about the past. Was he really the King? According to Qiu Bing’s explanation, the possibility of him being the King was very high, but even so, they had to gather evidence from various aspects. Other than the King’s martial arts and aura, including the King’s habits and the major events and secrets of the clan, everything matched to prove that he was indeed their King.
Now…
“Elder Li, what do you think?” An elder surnamed Bi asked.
Elder Li was silent.
An elder surnamed Yuan said in a low voice, “Could it be that… he’s actually not the King? In order to avoid our verification, he deliberately lied and said that he lost his memory?”
Something was in Yan Jiuchao’s mind, but he could not digest it. He had a terrible headache.
Elder Li paused for a moment, then walked over and said, “If the King doesn’t know them, does the King still remember who he is?”
“Me?” Yan Jiuchao muttered.
Elder Li said, “You are the King of the Ghost Clan.”
You are the King of the Ghost Clan…
The King of the Ghost Clan…
King!
Yan Jiuchao’s mind exploded. His eyes turned sharp as he said, “Woman! Stop right there!”
Yu Wan staggered and almost fell!
W-Woman? Is he calling her?
Yu Wan stabilized herself and turned around in a daze. Yan Jiuchao stood up coldly. His aura was fully released, and his robe fluttered in the wind.
Everyone was filled with respect! This was the aura of the King! The pressure of the King! This pressure seemed to have an additional n.o.ble aura of the royal family!
Yu Wan watched as this familiar yet unfamiliar man walked up to her step by step. He raised his chin and said domineeringly, “You want to leave just like that after escaping my marriage?”
Yu Wan was confused.
Escaping from the marriage? Escape from what marriage? What nonsense was this fellow spouting? And in broad daylight, in front of everyone, could he not pinch her so intimately?
Yan Jiuchao sneered. “In order to marry you, I even gave away a holy artifact. Don’t tell me you think I gave it away for nothing?”
Why was the holy artifact involved? Didn’t I pick up the holy artifact myself? How did it become a gift from you?
Yu Wan looked at Old Cui for help. What was wrong with him?
The corners of Old Cui’s mouth twitched. It seemed that the aftereffects were not as simple as he had imagined. Not only had he absorbed the Ghost King’s cultivation, but he had also absorbed a portion of the Ghost King’s memories. Everyone called him King. Now, he thought that he was the Ghost Clan’s King.
A certain fake Ghost King, the real Young Master, picked Yu Wan up. With the Ghost King’s power, it was simply too easy to carry a small weight. Yu Wan wanted to struggle, but she could not exert any strength. Her feet lightened and she soared into the air.
Yu Wan’s eyes widened. “What are you doing?”
Yan Jiuchao chuckled and said, “What do you think I want to do to you? I’ve let you escape for so many years. It’s time to pay off that debt.”
Yu Wan said, “What debt?”
Yan Jiuchao sneered proudly. “Wedding. Tonight, I’ll marry you. Don’t even think about escaping!”
Yu Wan : “…”
Everyone : “…”
