Chapter 54 The Truth Revealed, the Marriage Falls Through
Dai Yao knew that completely exposing Ying Sha's conspiracy would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
This old fellow has been lurking in both the immortal and demon realms for many years, and has a deep foundation.
Even worse, this old fox began a frantic counterattack, secretly stirring up trouble, sowing discord, and causing the immortal and demon realms to smear each other, creating a huge mess.
Suddenly, Dai Yao became the target of public criticism and faced immense pressure.
Rumors buzzed in her ears, questioning her motives and accusing her of being a spy sent by the Demon Palace to disrupt the peace between the immortal and demon realms. It was like snow falling in June—a tragic injustice!
Dai Yao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. She had done this to stop the war and maintain world peace, but she ended up being the sinner. This plot was too ridiculous.
However, Dai Yao is a seasoned and knowledgeable time traveler, so how could she be defeated by such a small setback?
She took a deep breath, silently activated her cheat system, and sensed the direction of the flow of fortune.
Hmm, over here, over here...wait, something's up! Dai Yao's eyes darted around, and an idea came to her.
She sneaked into Shadow Fiend's lair, and after many twists and turns, she actually found crucial evidence—a thick stack of letters. These letters recorded evidence of Shadow Fiend's collusion with villains from both the immortal and demonic realms. The evidence was irrefutable, with detailed conspiracy plans.
Dai Yao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile: "Hehe, old man, you're dead meat this time!"
At this moment, the atmosphere at the negotiation between the immortal and demonic realms was tense. Mo Tian and Jun Wuhen's faces were ashen, and the representatives from both realms around them were filled with righteous indignation. Dai Yao, holding a letter, slowly walked in with an innocent smile on her face. She cleared her throat and said, "Everyone, please don't rush to argue. I have an important document here that might change your minds..."
Jun Wuhen looked at Dai Yao, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes: "Miss Dai, what trick are you planning to pull now?"
Dai Yao gave her a "you know me so well" look, waved the letter in her hand, and said in a relaxed tone, "It's nothing, just a little trinket. I guarantee that after you read it, you'll have a great appetite and a pleasant mood."
Jun Wuhen frowned, and Mo Tian looked equally suspicious. Dai Yao stopped being coy and directly tossed the letter to Jun Wuhen and Mo Tian.
After reading it, the two looked extremely pale. Xingmeng also came over for a look and immediately showed a shocked expression.
Mo Tian roared, "This...how is this possible?!" The fat on his belly jiggled three times. Jun Wuhen's face was ashen, his eyes like knives, staring intently at Ying Sha.
Seeing the situation was dire, Ying Sha immediately tried to snatch the evidence, moving with incredible speed. However, before he could even touch the letter, Zi Xiao slapped him away, sending him sprawling face-first into the dirt. Zi Xiao, with an air of righteous indignation, declared, "Trying to destroy the evidence? Not a chance!"
Seeing this, Dai Yao felt secretly pleased.
She cleared her throat and began to expose the Shadow Demon's conspiracy, her eloquence more captivating than that of a storyteller. From fabricating a conflict at the border between immortals and demons, to planting spies in both realms, to using a marriage alliance to incite a war between immortals and demons, her arguments were clear and her evidence irrefutable.
As the crowd listened to Dai Yao's account, their anger gradually turned into astonishment. Their mouths gaped open, their clenched fists slowly loosened, and their eyes were filled with admiration for Dai Yao. Some even unconsciously took a few steps back, seemingly ashamed of their previous doubts about Dai Yao.
The people from both the immortal and demon realms suddenly realized what was happening, their eyes filled with anger and contempt as they looked at Ying Sha. Ying Sha's conspiracy had been completely exposed, and he hung his head in dejection.
Dai Yao looked at Ying Sha, a smug smile playing on her lips: "Sorry, I've rewritten your script." She turned to Jun Wuhen and Mo Tian, her tone sincere: "Gentlemen, regarding the marriage alliance, I think it's best to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xingmeng suddenly said, "I...I don't agree to annul the engagement!"
Dai Yao raised an eyebrow and gave Xingmeng a questioning look. Xingmeng, however, looked at Zixiao with deep affection.
Everyone was astonished. Xingmeng's cheeks flushed crimson, and her voice was barely audible: "I disagree with annuling the engagement. I want to marry Zixiao!"
The air suddenly went silent. Zi Xiao, completely bewildered, stiffly turned to look at Xing Meng, her eyes screaming, "Are you kidding me?"
Mo was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath. Pointing at Xingmeng, his fat jiggled, he yelled, "You...you...you little brat, what are you doing?!" His blood pressure had already spiked because of Ying Sha's matter, and now he felt like he was about to ascend to heaven.
Jun Wuhen remained calm, as if he had expected this to happen. He coughed lightly and said slowly, "Fairy Xingmeng, marriage is a serious matter, not something to be taken lightly."
Xingmeng raised her small face and said with her neck stiff, "I'm not joking! I've liked Zixiao for a long time! This marriage is just to get closer to him!" Xingmeng's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and her eyes were fixed on Zixiao, as if the air around them had frozen.
She took a deep breath, as if summoning immense courage, and then uttered the words "I want to marry Zixiao" in a trembling voice. Her skirt swayed slightly with her body's trembling, as if telling the story of her inner tension and determination.
Lingyu excitedly hugged Dai Yao and whispered in her ear, "Yao Yao, you're amazing! You're my idol!" Dai Yao was a little breathless from the hug, but a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
Lingyu's eyes were filled with admiration, making Dai Yao feel like a shining superstar, and a strange, ambiguous atmosphere seemed to be spreading between the two of them.
Just then, Dai Yao suddenly sensed a powerful fluctuation of fortune rapidly approaching her.
"Yaoyao," Lingyu's voice trembled slightly, "can you feel it...?"
Dai Yao turned around abruptly and saw a handsome man dressed in white, with an otherworldly air, standing not far away, staring intently at her.
"You are Dai Yao?" The man's voice was clear and cold, yet it carried a hint of domineering power that was not easily detected.
Alarm bells rang in Dai Yao's mind, and she subconsciously took a step back, gripping the spatula in her hand tightly.
The man smiled slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes: "It seems you are the person I've been looking for." He slowly extended his hand, towards Dai Yao...
The white-clad man appeared so suddenly that Dai Yao was still holding the spatula, looking like a poor cook caught red-handed.
"Fellow Daoist, what brings you here?" Dai Yao tried her best to remain calm, her mind racing: Which deity has descended to earth this time? Have I encountered far too many handsome men since I transmigrated into this book? I'm having a hard time handling this complicated situation!
The man in white didn't answer, but instead looked Dai Yao up and down with great interest, as if admiring a rare treasure. This gaze made Dai Yao extremely uncomfortable, giving her goosebumps.
“This…this fellow Daoist,” Dai Yao spoke again, trying to break the eerie silence, “if you keep staring at me like that, I’m going to call the police! Although I don’t know if there’s a police phone number here…”
The man chuckled softly, a sound as melodious as a mountain spring, yet it sent a chill down Dai Yao's spine.
"Call the police? Interesting." He finally spoke, his voice clear and cold, yet carrying a subtle hint of domineering arrogance. "My name is Ling Xiao, from the Immortal Realm..."
Before Ling Xiao could finish speaking, a roar interrupted him: "Ling Xiao! You brat! I've finally caught you!" An old man with white hair and beard descended from the sky, pointing menacingly at Ling Xiao, looking as if he wanted to devour him alive.
Ling Xiao's face instantly turned ugly, and he cursed under his breath, "You old geezer, you're like a persistent ghost!"
Dai Yao and Ling Yu looked completely bewildered; the plot twist was too fast!
Who is this old man?
What is her relationship with Ling Xiao?
The gossip within the celestial realm seems even more fascinating than the grudges and feuds between the immortal and demon realms!
The old man grabbed Ling Xiao by the collar and lifted him up as easily as picking up a chick.
"You brat, instead of cultivating properly, you're running around everywhere! I'll break your legs today!"
Ling Xiao struggled and shouted at the old man, "Let me go! You old geezer! I'm warning you, I am..."
"Who do you think you are? Are you trying to drive me crazy?" The old man glared at him, looking utterly disappointed.
Dai Yao and Ling Yu exchanged a glance, and the same thought arose in their minds at the same time: Let's watch this drama unfold! This drama is really exciting!
Just then, the old man suddenly turned to look at Dai Yao, his eyes sharp as knives: "You are Dai Yao?"
Dai Yao nodded subconsciously, a sudden sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
The old man gave a meaningful smile: "Very good, come with me." After he finished speaking, he grabbed Dai Yao's hand and pulled her to Ling Xiao's side.
"Both of you, come back with me!"
Dai Yao: "..." What did I do to deserve this? How did I get dragged into this immortal family drama out of nowhere?
Ling Xiao looked at Dai Yao with a gloating expression, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Looks like we're quite destined for each other."
Alarm bells rang in Dai Yao's mind. She sensed that things weren't so simple... She suddenly realized that the matter between Xingmeng and Zixiao might only be the beginning...
The old man gripped Dai Yao's wrist tightly, with a force that seemed to crush her bones.
“Come with me,” he said sternly.
