LIGHTNOVELONLINE A bitter Realization
Yun Che sat in the carriage heading to the Xia Manor. On his way, many of the jealous stares rained on him. It's to be expected. Many youths were gritting their teeth in anger. They were still unable to cope up with trash marrying their goddess, Xia Qingyue. Many were busy mocking Yun Che in the crowds.
Yun Che oblivious to their actions continued to cycle the profound aura into his meridians. The sensation it gave out was very addicting. After revolving the profound aura completing a set of cycles, his cultivation rose a bit and he now officially entered the 2nd stage of Elementary Profound Realm.
It's still far from what he desired. Yun Che could remember reading light novels regarding cultivation but he couldn't exactly remember any details of the world he is in. He started to know more about this world and decided to delve deeper into his memories.
Xia Hongyi's wife Xia Dongxue was not healthy during her pregnancy. Her body was very weak. In spite of taking many medicines, her condition barely improved. Xia Hongyi was worried about the future of the baby in her womb.
Xiao Che's father Xiao Ying was a friend of his. Xiao Ying was called a genius at that time. When Qingyue was born, her vitality was very low. The doctors gave up on curing her and said she will die. Xiao Ying spared all his cultivation and cured Xia Qingyue on her birth.
Xia Hongyi was grateful for what he did and promised to wed his daughter to Xiao Ying's son. It was a well-known fact for everyone in the city. As a son of Xiao Ying, the future of Xia Qingyue seemed quite bright.
Many praised Xia Hongyi as the people thought he made a good plan. Xiao Clan was one of the three major clans in Floating Cloud City. And wedding his daughter into the family will greatly benefit the Xia family too in the future as mainly do trading. Their Xia Clan's prestige in the City will rise eventually.
Yun Che was surprised to see that the friendship between Xiao Ying and Xia Hongyi was very thick. Curing Qingyue came at the risk of his own cultivation but Xiao Ying didn't bother, even receiving a backlash from it and lost life as he could not defend against the enemies who tried to assassinate him with his meager profound strength. Xia Hongyi blamed himself for that.
It isn't' the only bad thing that happened. The city was in an uproar when it was announced that Xiao Che was born a cripple. His profound veins were checked by Dr. Seto and were said to be damaged since birth and irreparable as there was no other way to cure them. The people started ridiculing Xiao Che. That's the end of the story.
'Xia Qingyue is said to be quite a beauty in all of the City. She could have easily objected to this wedding. But why didn't she?' Yun Che contemplated.
Soon, Yun Che arrived at his destination, he came down and felt many scornful stares on him. Yun Che shrugged it off. Xia Hongyi and Xia Yuanba came forward.
"Brother-in-Law, you came! Sister is in the room getting ready. I will call her....." Xia Yuanba spoke and went away to bring his sister.
"Xia Che, I believe you will make Qingyue happy" Xia Hongyi patted Yun Che's shoulder and said. As a father, he knew the fact but he was in a helpless state and still wished his son-in-law.
A veiled young lady in a wedding dress came together with Yuanba followed by a group of maids. Seeing the lady, Yun Che went forward and was about to take her hand.
[Warning!]
[Ice Energy is in the range of the host. It is dangerous. System cautions Host to stay away from it as your current cultivation is low.]
A mechanical sound rang in his brain. Hearing System's notification, he immediately withdrew his hand.
'System, what is Qingyue's present cultivation?' feeling a bit weird Yun Che asked. As he currently posses Heavenly True God Veins, no one in the Nascent Realm poses a life threat to him. He was a bit confident in himself.
System's earlier warning made him guess that Qingyue's cultivation is definitely not in the Nascent Profound Realm. He was curious so he asked.
[Scanning Xia Qingyue....]
[Cultivation Level Detected...]
[Qingyue is currently in the early stages of True Profound Realm, Host. Battling her will not pose a threat to the host's life. But could incur heavy damage in the Host's current condition.]
A forced smile appeared on Yun Che's face. It now became clear to him why Qingyue didn't object to marrying him. She had her own preparations. She was confident in her strength. And just now she was about to send a warning to him to not try anything funny.
The look in her eyes said everything. The contempt she holds... A gaze that said Yun Che, she was out of her league. As a daughter, she didn't dare to reject her father's decision. But she didn't want to accompany him either.
Yun Che came to a bitter realization of how cruel the cultivation world could be.
'I should increase my strength as soon as possible.' Yun Che kept on reminding himself and this single thought ran through his mind.
This is a dangerous world. Being weak is a sin. Even though he possesses a system, if he goes against someone stronger than him, only death will be waiting for him.
Yun Che gulped down the saliva and went to Xiao Clan with his supposed 'future wife'. He looked outside the carriage not wanting to get any attention from Xia Qingyue. The journey was silent with no one speaking.
The marriage ceremony was conducted but the atmosphere said otherwise. Xiao Yulong had a wicked smile on his face. He already planned for everything. 'Soon Qingyue will be in my hands, he thought.
Xiao Lingxi's expression on the outside has a happy smile but inside she was struggling. The person she grew up with and loved is now marrying someone else. She tried to bury all her feelings but it was in vain.
Xiao Lei, his grandpa genuinely felt happy that the marriage went well. He now can rest peacefully or so he thought.
