Chapter 164: Bowing to the Heavens and Earth, Getting Married

"You human, you are quite peculiar."

The woman, whose upper body was covered in scales, flashed and appeared right in front of Qin Xuan, mere inches away.

She leaned down, staring at the ancient prison-suppressing tower in his hand, and muttered suspiciously, "What a strange quasi-emperor artifact. Even I have never heard of these Materials before. What a fine treasure! It is just a pity that I can no longer use it."

She slowly raised her eyes; even her face was covered in bright red scales.

Her pupils were not human in appearance, but rather two needle-shaped fish scales.

She was very close to Qin Xuan, and they could feel each other's breathing.

Gulp!

Qin Xuan swallowed again.

A monster that had just swallowed the Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect and a Saint Realm Elder in one encounter was now right in front of him, staring and examining him.

The pressure was immense.

It made Qin Xuan feel the goosebumps rising on his back.

The red-scaled woman stared at Qin Xuan and asked strangely, "You have the aura of Weak Water on you. Did you bring the Weak Water out?"

Qin Xuan nodded, having no intention of hiding it.

Clearly, this woman was a creature of the Land of Fallen Emperors and was very sensitive to the aura of Weak Water.

She had already sniffed it out; if he continued to hide it, wouldn't that obviously be fooling her?

The red-scaled woman said in surprise, "You human, you have truly exceeded my expectations. You have some Opportunity."

She then looked at Little Koi beside Qin Xuan, her mouth splitting open to reveal sharp fangs, "Both of you are good-looking, a talented man and a beautiful woman. I shall bestow an Opportunity upon you two: bow to the heavens and earth right here, get married, and become husband and wife."

Little Koi was shocked, "Ah?"

Qin Xuan hurriedly waved his hand, "I have only met her once. If we do this so quickly, it would inevitably be disrespectful to the lady."

The red-scaled woman's expression suddenly turned cold, and a bloody maw filled with sharp fangs manifested, beginning to descend from above Qin Xuan's head.

A cold snort rang in Qin Xuan's ears, "If you are unwilling, then die!"

Little Koi hurriedly stepped forward to protect him, spreading her arms, her slender, delicate body blocking in front of Qin Xuan, "Don't kill him."

The red-scaled woman retracted her bloody maw, crossed her arms over her scale-covered chest, and said, "Either get married or die. Choose for yourselves."

Inside the small tower, Leng Li said, her anger flaring, "Let's fight this Heavenly Demon Scale!"

"Half of her body has already been absorbed by the Kunpeng. I don't believe she can smash the ancient prison-suppressing tower before she is completely melted!"

Qin Xuan said irritably, "You really are a talent, aren't you? You want to risk your life, but you're risking the life of the small tower?"

He knew clearly that even if he used all his trump cards, it would at best be a pyrrhic victory.

It was even possible that he would lose his life here.

If there was a second option, why would he risk his life?

Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes, stared at Little Koi, placed his hands on her shoulders, and said in a deep voice, "What do you think?"

Little Koi shook her head and looked helplessly at Qin Xuan, "I don't know. I only know that you shouldn't die."

The red-scaled woman urged them, "Why so much chatter? I am asking you to get married, not to die."

She waved her hand, and ten miles of red decorations appeared, with flowers clustering all over the ground.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals, with their lower halves submerged in the Kunpeng's flesh, played festive music.

Qin Xuan looked down and saw that he was already wearing a groom's wedding attire, with a large red flower pinned to his chest.

Opposite him, Little Koi was dressed in a phoenix coronet and ceremonial robes, covered with a red bridal veil. Her petite, exquisite figure appeared even more curvaceous at this moment.

"First bow to the heavens and earth!"

An old turtle, with half its body buried in the flesh, shouted at the top of its lungs.

Qin Xuan used the red silk ribbon in his hand to tug at the dazed Little Koi, "Let's act this out; let's survive first."

Little Koi nodded, "I know."

The two held the red silk ribbon, turned their backs to the red-scaled woman, and bowed.

"Second bow to the high hall."

The red-scaled woman, wearing a joyous smile, pointed at her own nose and urged, "Bow to me! Bow to me!"

Qin Xuan and Little Koi turned around and bowed to the red-scaled woman.

"Bow to each other as husband and wife!"

This time, Qin Xuan and Little Koi looked at each other.

They bowed gracefully. When Qin Xuan raised his head, Little Koi remained in the bowing posture, as if frozen, and did not rise for a long time.

"Enter the bridal chamber! The ceremony is complete~"

The old turtle shouted once more at the top of its lungs, then immediately turned into a pile of dry bones, merging into the Kunpeng's flesh.

Together with those shrimp soldiers and crab generals, after appearing this time, they had exhausted all their Qi and blood, finally melting into the Kunpeng's body.

The red-scaled woman walked to Little Koi's side and helped her up, "Disciple, I have no way to leave with you. In the future, if you encounter any danger outside, look for your husband to step in for you."

Little Koi raised her eyes, staring at the red-scaled woman with some suspicion.

The red-scaled woman was insistent and had no intention of explaining. She glanced at Qin Xuan and said, "The matter of the bridal chamber is not urgent. Next, I will guide my disciple in her cultivation! You just stay there!"

She pulled Little Koi to sit cross-legged, and the ten miles of red decorations transformed into a huge red sphere, enveloping them both.

Inside the small tower, seeing this scene, Leng Li exclaimed, "This Little Koi really has incredible Luck to be favored by a Heavenly Demon Scale!"

"This is a quasi-emperor among the Heavenly Demon Scale clan. Her Legacy is very suitable for Little Koi. With this Legacy, her Breakthrough to the quasi-emperor level will be smooth and unobstructed!"

Qin Xuan did not covet it, clicking his tongue and saying, "She really is blessed with great Luck. If it weren't for this Heavenly Demon Scale, the incident with the Sect Master of Soul Refining Sect just now would have been enough to give us a hard time."

Leng Li sneered, "The matter started because of her. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have been swallowed into the Kunpeng's stomach. Even a strong quasi-emperor cannot leave. Even if she obtains the Legacy, whether she can make it out alive is a big question."

Time passed second by second.

When the large red sphere peeled away, a heaven-shaking, earth-shattering change had occurred on the red-scaled woman's body.

Her bright red scales had turned pitch black.

Her aura was even more withered and weak; clearly, she was already at the end of her rope.

"Xiao Qi, if you have a chance to get out, you must remember Master's words!"

The red-scaled woman held Little Koi's hand and instructed her softly.

Little Koi's eyes were filled with tears, and she nodded repeatedly, "Master, I know!"

The red-scaled woman raised her head again, stared at Qin Xuan, and said in a cold voice, "You have already become husband and wife with Xiao Qi. If I find out that you dare to bully Xiao Qi, I will return from Reincarnation and surely kill you!"

Little Koi hurriedly spoke up to defend Qin Xuan, saying, "Master, Qin Xuan wouldn't do that."

The red-scaled woman frowned at Little Koi and chided, "You still call him Qin Xuan?"

Little Koi lowered her head, her cheeks flushed, and she said weakly, "Hu... Husband will not bully me."

"That's more like it." The red-scaled woman nodded with satisfaction. She looked into the distance, her voice becoming ethereal, "The road ahead depends on you young couple to advance hand in hand. Xiao Qi said that this Kunpeng has swallowed several Saint King Realm experts, all of whom are your enemies. Before I fall, I will resolve this trouble for you."

With that said, she submerged into the Kunpeng's flesh and disappeared.

"Master~"

Little Koi called out tearfully in the direction where the red-scaled woman had left.

Receiving no response, she knelt in the direction of her Master and kowtowed three times with tears streaming down her face.

Qin Xuan stepped forward and helped the sorrowful Little Koi up, "Don't cry anymore, she has already left."

Little Koi stood up, wiped away her tears, and let out an "En."

Remembering something, she took out a Saint Talisman, handed it to Qin Xuan, and said, "Hu... Qin Xuan, this is for you! Master erased the Qi of the Holy Master of Butian, so outsiders can also use this talisman."
