Chapter 478 My Best Friend's Wedding
"So what exactly did he do with his spatial abilities?" Watching Zhao Chen leave, Ji Zi still didn't understand the meaning of Li Muyang's last sentence, and why Zhao Chen blushed for no reason? He seemed a little flustered when he was running.
Li Muyang explained expressionlessly, "This... I suggest you don't go into details."
"I have to say, spatial abilities have so many uses! Young people really know how to use them!"
Although she still didn't understand, Aunt Himeko inexplicably blushed... *cough cough* She didn't understand! She really didn't understand!
"Oh, right." Li Muyang slapped his forehead again, "My classmate is getting married in a few days, do you want to go and join in the fun?"
Aunt Himeko was taken aback, then smiled enigmatically: "What? Boss, do you have some hidden meaning?"
Li Muyang pursed his lips speechlessly: "What are you thinking? Yuxiu, Ling'er, and Erii will all be there!"
"Tch, so I was the only one who ordered takeout." Aunt Himeko pouted in disappointment, thinking she was the only one.
"Sorry, Auntie, we're not making an appointment," Li Muyang said coldly.
Himeko also looked disgusted: "Ugh~ Don't make it sound like I'm unwanted, okay? Let's not even talk about what's happening over there! Just this area alone could circle the capital three times!"
"Yes, yes, yes, I didn't know how good Auntie was when I was young. I mistook a young girl for a treasure~ Auntie Himeko's charm is as good as ever!" Li Muyang remained calm and composed, echoing her without any emotion.
In other words, Aunt Himeko's identity wasn't exposed, at least not on the surface. Otherwise, it would have been more than three rounds!
Aunt Himeko looked speechless: "To be honest, sometimes I really can't figure out what you're thinking."
“My advice is not to overthink it,” Li Muyang replied calmly. “Overthinking is useless. Generally speaking, I don’t want our relationship to change, no matter what the reason. I feel pretty good right now.”
"Perhaps in the past, I had other thoughts about you, Himeko-sensei, and even many other people I've met. But as I've experienced more and more, those improper thoughts have gradually faded away. Maybe it's because I've matured? Now I just hope that no matter what the situation, everyone can be happy. I'm not a perverted bulldozer with an extremely strong possessive desire."
I get it, so you believe that truly platonic relationships between men and women exist in the world!
Himeko nodded, a mixture of melancholy and satisfaction in her eyes, then leaned closer with a sly grin and asked, "Boss?"
"Hmm?" Li Muyang raised an eyebrow. What?
"...You're not impotent, are you?"
"……roll!"
"Then why do you always keep that prescription handy?"
"...That was generated on the spot by my Herrscher of Reason abilities!"
"Really?"
"...Believe it or not!" Li Muyang flung his hand away. Good grief! Wasn't this just a sentimental topic? How did it suddenly veer off to this?
As for why I knew this prescription?
As a doctor, isn't it normal for me to know about this? Can't I have researched it? Humph!
Despite the teasing, the two went home.
Yes, in the small world.
A few days later, Li Muyang, Bai Yuxiu, Feng Ling'er, Uesugi Erii, and Murata Himeko dressed up and went to the wedding of Li Muyang's dormitory classmate Fan Zichen and his girlfriend Chen Sisi.
Originally, Li Muyang, Wang Yifei, and Lu Xiaobo had already prepared their duties as best men: to help Fan Zichen fend off any troublemakers at the wedding and deal with any difficulties the bride might cause!
However, to my utter surprise... they kept everything simple.
Not many relatives from either side came; there were no distant relatives, just aunts, uncles, cousins, and the like. Both families were very respectful of tradition, and the wedding didn't involve any fancy activities. The emcee simply led the ceremony, and then everyone could start eating.
After the meal, the party can end.
"Then what was the point of all that all-nighter I spent studying wedding custom riddles and stuff last night?!" Lu Xiaobo complained with a dark face, feeling incredibly stupid!
Fan Zichen chuckled and teased, "It's alright! Aren't there still Lao Li and Lao Wang? Judging from Lao Li's situation, he should be here soon, right?"
Li Muyang smiled faintly and said, "Of course! Don't worry, I probably won't forget you all! However, I might change the venue."
The three women smiled knowingly.
Wang Yifei grinned slyly: "Don't worry, we understand!"
Although the laws and regulations in this world are relatively lenient regarding the marriages of high-level cultivators, it is still rare for cultivators to hold grand and elaborate weddings on the surface!
Especially for cultivators with many Daoist partners, some even have a dozen or more, cough cough! Such extravagant celebrations have a really bad influence.
Therefore, in most cases, these cultivators hold these events in other small worlds. Those who know, know; it's essentially a private event.
As long as it's not within the territory of Great Xia, and it becomes widely known and is reported by the media, then nobody will care.
For cultivators, substance is far more important than fancy rituals; companionship to the very end is what truly matters! Sincerity is paramount! Everything else is secondary!
Marriage in this world is more about the heart; very few people stay together for the sake of other factors, especially cultivators, for whom compatibility is the most important consideration!
Some celebrities do occasionally use their weddings to generate buzz, but historically, the bigger the commotion, the less likely it is to last, and it often ends badly.
That said, Fan Zichen and Chen Sisi are both at their peak of attractiveness today. I don't know what the image consultant did to them. They look like the real people, but their appearance and temperament are completely different from usual!
Fan Zichen usually looks like a non-mainstream person, the kind who seems to have a lot of romantic entanglements, but in reality, he's just a pretty face. However, today he looks quite handsome and proper, without the slightest hint of a rebellious image.
His wife, Chen Sisi, was also much more dignified and gentle than usual, which was completely different from his usual image as a Sichuan-Chongqing tyrant.
Well, the latter comment was made by Fan Zichen himself, and the price he paid was that Chen Sisi pinched his waist hard.
An enviable love story~ A sweet love story~
(Unfortunately, the author hasn't tried it, so the description is likely to be poor. Please forgive me. Here's wishing the author and everyone else can find what suits them best.)
After the wedding, everyone went home.
Li Muyang, who was supposed to be going home, got stuck in traffic on the way home by Fan Zichen's current boss.
"Hmm? Mr. Li? You have..." The middle-aged leader looked puzzled.
Before he finished speaking, Li Muyang had already taken out the Shennong Ruler.
I definitely can't cause trouble at my good brother's (unfilial son's) wedding! But if I do, don't blame me for being ruthless!
The middle-aged leader remained expressionless upon seeing this, but his body language betrayed him. The incoordination between his facial expression and body language made the situation even more bizarre, as if the person above couldn't keep up with the change in reaction.
This further shows that he panicked.
How could he get away?
With a flick of his wrist, Li Muyang unleashed a beam of light from the Shennong Ruler, which locked onto the "leader" and pierced him through the heart. The man first went limp and collapsed into a pool of extremely black, unidentified gelatinous substance, before turning into specks of light and disappearing completely.
"What a turbulent time!" Li Muyang sighed. This leader has been infected, what a pity.
This situation is probably quite common. No matter how long they've been infected, they can't extract any information because once exposed, these guys simply won't communicate.
Interrogation, of course, no longer exists.
Its appearance was completely flawless, and its aura was replicated exactly. It perfectly inherited the memories, so even the closest people couldn't detect any problems. Unless it was deliberately exposed, there was absolutely no issue. If it weren't for Li Muyang's special perception, it would have been really difficult to deal with such a hostile creature.
Not to mention others, they don't have many means to counter them right now.
Shortly after Li Muyang appeared, the Guoan officers arrived. Without asking any questions, Li Muyang and the team leader exchanged greetings, and after a brief explanation, Li Muyang was allowed to leave.
Before leaving, Li Muyang gave the captain dozens of talismans containing purification power, and also handed him a drawing manual. He said that if he found a professional talisman master, they should be able to mass-produce them quickly. Although it might be a bit late now, it was still a kind of check and balance.
The squad leader silently bowed to Li Muyang again before quickly getting back to his work.
In Li Muyang's eyes, these talismans were nothing, but the existing talisman masters on Blue Star certainly didn't think so. Old Li could draw them casually, but they didn't know how long it would take them to learn them, let alone a 100% success rate. A 50% success rate would already be considered high.
But the effect was indeed very good. One talisman could not only make all the destructive creatures within a 100-meter diameter range reveal their true forms, but each one was also equivalent to Li Muyang's arrow just now.
The middle-aged leader who was just purified by Li Muyang was at the Fusion Realm, and the destructive creature that infected him also had characteristics roughly equivalent to the Fusion Realm. The fact that he was instantly killed is enough to demonstrate the strength of the creature.
If it were someone weaker, such as a Nascent Soul or Golden Core cultivator, the purifying light from this talisman alone might be enough to severely injure or kill them.
But that's still not enough! If even the middle-aged leader, who is considered the highest-ranking cadre in a unit, has been infected, Li Muyang doesn't even dare to imagine what would happen in other parts of Blue Star.
No wonder the comrades looked so grim just now; it was really hard to stop! Currently, there aren't many effective preventative measures, so mass production is basically impossible. Given China's large population, supply can't meet demand!
Furthermore, people abroad will also be infected. We can't even take care of our own families, so we can't ignore the situation abroad! This is a global biological disaster!
It's a nightmare! You have to worry about getting infected while fighting the enemy, and your teammates might turn into enemies if you're not careful. This is probably a zombie virus in a sense, like a cultivation version of a zombie virus!
It seems he needs to discuss a strategy with his father. He can't continue to be passive like this; being annoyed by the other side is not in Li Muyang's nature!
