Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
On this day, the entire clan was decorated with lanterns and banners, celebrating with vibrant red silk and lanterns adorning every palace and house. It was a scene of joy and festivity.
After Qian Xunji had rejected Bibi Dong's return to Spirit Hall with deep disgust and disdain, leaving her in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Yuanzhen, upon his return, decided to push forward with Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong's wedding as if it were real—to make up for their losses as much as possible.
And today was their grand wedding day!
However, despite the festive atmosphere filling the clan, most of its members remained indifferent—some even feeling outright disgusted and resentful.
The reason was simple.
That fool Yu Xiaogang had thought himself clever by getting involved with Bibi Dong, the former Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall. Not only had he brought this disaster back with him, but because of it, the clan had suffered devastating losses!
They had lost the Legacy Spirit Bone: True Dragon Nine Crowns, been extorted for 100 million gold spirit coins, and even handed over several lucrative businesses in Heaven Dou City.
The spirit bone loss was at least tolerable—after all, while precious, it wasn't something that affected most disciples directly.
But losing 100 million gold spirit coins and multiple highly profitable businesses? That was catastrophic.
With so much of their liquid funds gone overnight, Yu Yuanzhen and the elders had to hold an emergency meeting and ultimately decided—
all disciples' monthly stipends and benefits would be cut.
The quality of life for every single member of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan plummeted dramatically.
Personal financial losses are always the most infuriating!
How could the disciples not hate Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong to the bone?
Luckily for Yu Xiaogang, he had the sense to stay hidden in his home all this time, not daring to step outside.
Otherwise, someone might have already beaten him to death in a dark alley!
...
Yu Yuanzhen's Residence.
The grand hall was filled with red decorations, exuding festivity.
Seated at the main table, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Xiaogang's mother watched the proceedings. Nearby, only Yu Luomian and Yu Xiaogang's eldest brother, Yu Dalong, attended with their spouses.
But overall, there were very few guests.
Because, quite frankly, this wasn't something they could publicly celebrate.
Bibi Dong's identity was too sensitive.
And considering how Yu Xiaogang had single-handedly screwed over the entire clan, no one in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wanted to attend.
In the end, only Yu Yuanzhen's immediate family showed up.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Second bow to the elders!"
"Bow to each other as husband and wife!"
Following the officiant's instructions, Yu Xiaogang, dressed in his groom's robes, was practically shaking with excitement. His face was lit up like a blooming chrysanthemum as he and Bibi Dong completed the traditional rites.
After paying respects to Heaven and Earth, honoring the elders, and bowing to each other as husband and wife—
It was time for the bridal chamber!
...
Inside the brightly decorated bridal room, Bibi Dong sat at the bedside, dressed in a red wedding gown, a red veil covering her head. Her heart was filled with both shyness and anxiety.
After drinking a celebratory toast with Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Luomian, and Yu Dalong, Yu Xiaogang, feeling slightly tipsy, pushed open the door with a flushed face and walked inside.
"Dong'er, we're finally together!"
Yu Xiaogang slurred, giggling foolishly, before plopping down beside Bibi Dong and reaching out to lift her veil.
Under the warm red glow of the soul-powered lanterns, Bibi Dong's figure, wrapped in the tight-fitting wedding dress, looked both tall and alluring. Her delicate, pure, and breathtakingly beautiful face was completely flushed, her gaze lowered shyly.
"Xiaogang, I'm very happy too."
"It's late... let's rest early."
Yu Xiaogang, burning with passion, eagerly grabbed Bibi Dong's hand, ready to begin his great mission.
His father was already waiting for him and Bibi Dong to produce their first child as soon as possible.
In six years, they would see what kind of martial soul the child awakened!
With a bashful "cry" from Bibi Dong, she was soon dragged onto the battlefield.
Fueled by alcohol and excitement, Yu Xiaogang prepared to launch his attack.
Springtime was the season of revival, after all!
But then—
Just as he was about to begin, Yu Xiaogang froze in shock.
Something was wrong.
It was as if a protective barrier had been placed over Bibi Dong's most vulnerable spot.
A powerful golden light shield covered her, rendering all of his efforts completely ineffective.
"No way…"
Yu Xiaogang sat there, dumbfounded.
If I can't even break through my wife's defenses, how am I supposed to complete Father's mission?
If all my attacks are useless, then what am I supposed to do?!
Forget having multiple children—at this rate, I won't even have one!
"Xiaogang, what's wrong?"
Noticing Yu Xiaogang struggling to "break through" but failing repeatedly, Bibi Dong felt a little disappointed.
But then she recalled how her beloved Xiaogang was physically weak, practically powerless.
After all, his cultivation was only at the Grand Soul Master level.
'Maybe this is normal…?'
She had been holding back for a long time, but after seeing him struggle to the point of sweating profusely with zero success, she finally couldn't help but ask.
"I…"
Yu Xiaogang's face turned red with shame.
After much hesitation under Bibi Dong's questioning, he finally admitted the problem.
Upon learning that her body was covered by an impenetrable golden barrier, Bibi Dong was stunned.
'What?! How is this possible?'
But then, she quickly recalled something.
She thought back to when Qian Xunji had placed a seal on her before she left.
'That bastard… don't tell me that when he sealed my memories, he also sealed my… weak points?!'
Bibi Dong shook with rage, absolutely furious.
'Damn it, Qian Xunji! What did I ever do to deserve this?!'
'You already crippled my cultivation, took away my spirit bones, and sealed many of my memories about Spirit Hall—what more do you want?!'
'I just want to pursue my own happiness! Why must you ruin everything?!'
Bibi Dong's heart was filled with endless grief and resentment, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears as she clenched her hands into fists.
Meanwhile, after countless failed attempts, Yu Xiaogang completely gave up.
With no choice but to accept defeat, he decided to wait until morning and ask his father for help.
...
The Next Morning.
Yu Xiaogang quietly approached Yu Yuanzhen, miserable beyond belief, and explained the entire situation.
"Father, what should I do?!"
To think that even his own attacks couldn't break through Bibi Dong's defenses—then how was he supposed to have children with her?!
Yu Xiaogang was practically in tears.
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen's expression darkened.
His fists clenched tightly as he let out a cold, furious laugh.
"That damned Qian Xunji! I was wondering why he was so willing to hand over Bibi Dong to us."
"So this was his plan all along!"
"If Bibi Dong can't even be touched, then she's completely useless to us!"
"But…"
