After You Broke Off the Engagement, I Broke Through Twelve Realms in a Single Day! - Chapter 4:
Chapter 4: Grand Wedding, Breakthrough to Martial Ancestor!
Hearing Li Feng’s words, Liu Ruyan could no longer endure the blow. Tears instantly streamed down her face.
“Li Feng, you’ll regret marrying Liu Ruyue, that useless flower vase!”
She never imagined that in Li Feng’s heart, she was no match for her ‘useless’ younger sister. She was the number one genius in Luoxing City, pursued by suitors lined up from within the city to outside its gates! Yet, the one man most qualified to match her treated her like worthless grass.
“Impossible, you must be lying! Other than being prettier and gentler, how is Liu Ruyue better than me?” Liu Ruyan shook her head, weeping, still unwilling to accept reality.
“Mother-in-law, Patriarch Liu, I’ve said what I needed to say. Tonight, I will consummate the marriage with Liu Ruyue. Handle it as you will!” Li Feng couldn’t be bothered with the hysterical Liu Ruyan. He cupped his hands to Patriarch Liu, then turned away, leading Liu Ruyue by the hand.
With his current strength second only to Patriarch Liu within the Liu family and limitless potential, Li Feng no longer had to care about anyone’s opinions. Cultivation was about following one’s heart; now he could act as he pleased, and others had to look up to him!
“This Li Feng is truly ungrateful, gaining a bit of power and becoming so arrogant!” Lady Liu grumbled to Patriarch Liu only after Li Feng had walked away.
Patriarch Liu narrowed his eyes as he watched Li Feng’s departing figure and coldly snorted, “That’s the spirit of youth! If he were submissive, what future would he have? From now on, whoever dares to offend him in the Liu family will answer to me!”
“Do as he said. Arrange the wedding for Li Feng and Liu Ruyue tonight. It’s best to settle it early before the news leaks and the other big families try to snatch him away!”
Patriarch Liu knew that with Li Feng’s potential, it wouldn’t take long before he surpassed even him. If the Liu family wanted to secure their ties with Li Feng, they had to comply with his wishes.
Marrying Liu Ruyue to him was nothing. If Li Feng wished, even marrying Liu Ruyan together would be acceptable.
A young man at the 6th stage Martial Master Realm without even opening his Martial Veins yet—so long as he didn’t die, he would surely become famous across the Great Qing Empire. If the Liu family could even bask in his reflected glory, they would rise to unimaginable heights.
That very night, Li Feng and Liu Ruyue held their wedding ceremony.
From the crowd, Li Feng keenly sensed a few unfriendly gazes—besides Liu Ruyan’s venomous glare, there was also a man stealthily observing him.
Li Feng recognized him: Zhang Huaiyu, the Zhang family’s young master, who had coveted Liu Ruyue’s beauty in the karmic future.
“Everyone knows I have Martial Master Realm cultivation, yet he still dares covet my woman. This man is courting death!” Li Feng was furious inside but showed no emotion outwardly.
He didn’t know what kind of opportunities Zhang Huaiyu might encounter in the future, nor what heights he might reach. But Li Feng understood that if Zhang Huaiyu ever surpassed him, he would never let Li Feng live.
To eliminate future trouble, Li Feng decided that tomorrow, he would wipe out the Zhang family.
After all, the Zhang family had only one Martial Ancestor. After consummating the marriage with Liu Ruyue tonight, Li Feng would break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm.
“That damned son-in-law pretended to be weak all along and suddenly broke through to the Martial Master Realm, then arrogantly stole my woman. If I ever rise to power, I’ll kill him and reclaim Liu Ruyue!” Zhang Huaiyu watched Li Feng hold Liu Ruyue’s slender waist and lead her into the bridal chamber, rage boiling in his heart.
He had publicly declared Liu Ruyue was his, forbidding others from touching her. Yet Li Feng had seized her right under his nose, and he was powerless to do anything about it. Humiliated, Zhang Huaiyu’s face twisted with fury as he left angrily.
Liu Ruyue’s beauty was truly peerless, like a celestial maiden. Dressed in red bridal attire tonight, she was breathtaking, more radiant than a fairy from the moon. No wonder Zhang Huaiyu hated Li Feng so much.
“Li Lang, is there something dirty on my face? Why are you staring at me like that?” Liu Ruyue shyly lowered her head as she sat opposite Li Feng on the wedding bed.
“My lady, you are as beautiful as a goddess. I could gaze at you forever,” Li Feng sighed as he pulled her into his arms.
Listening to Li Feng’s heartbeat, Liu Ruyue closed her eyes happily and smiled, “It feels like a dream. My only wish was to marry you, and now it has come true. In the future, if you wish to marry other women, I will gladly step down as the main wife and serve as a concubine or maid, as long as you don’t drive me away.”
Hearing her humble request, Li Feng’s heart ached.
She had lived under Liu Ruyan’s shadow since childhood, never daring to fight for anything, always yielding. Even after marrying him, she remained so timid. If Liu Ruyan hadn’t annulled the engagement first, Liu Ruyue might never have confessed her love.
“Don’t worry. I will never have enough of loving you. Having you in my life is more than enough,” Li Feng patted her shoulder gently to comfort her.
Tears welled up in Liu Ruyue’s eyes. “Li Lang, my talent is too poor and might affect our descendants. But it doesn’t matter. I’m willing to do anything for you.”
“Who said you have poor talent? If you do as I say, I guarantee you’ll surpass your sister by tomorrow, and no one will ever dare look down on you again!” Li Feng chuckled, then whispered a few words in her ear, making Liu Ruyue’s face flush bright red.
“Oh, how embarrassing!” She was still an innocent maiden. What Li Feng suggested was too shameful for her and didn’t seem like normal cultivation at all.
“But if it makes you happy, I’ll do it.” Although Liu Ruyue had no hope of advancing her cultivation, she was willing to do anything to make Li Feng happy.
Thinking this, she slipped under the quilt embroidered with mandarin ducks.
Soft sounds of affection filled the bridal chamber through the night. As they intertwined, Li Feng’s and Liu Ruyue’s cultivation levels soared.
7th stage Martial Master Realm… 8th stage… 9th stage… Martial Ancestor Realm!
Liu Ruyue’s cultivation also surged, reaching the 2nd stage Martial Master Realm, even higher than what was foreseen in the karmic reward.
Li Feng’s progress was even more astonishing. His cultivation didn’t stop until he reached the 6th stage Martial Ancestor Realm. At eighteen years old, a Martial Ancestor—he was a true prodigy even by Great Qing standards!
The breakthrough stirred the spiritual energy above the Liu family, forming a vortex and causing spiritual rain to fall, benefiting many in the Liu family. Even Liu Ruyan advanced to the 1st stage Martial Master Realm thanks to the rain.
“Now I’m at the Martial Master Realm too. After the Body Refining Tower, my Martial Vein might not lose to Li Feng’s. Then I’ll make him regret marrying that useless Liu Ruyue!” Liu Ruyan muttered venomously as she finished her cultivation, grinding her teeth while glaring in the direction of Li Feng and Liu Ruyue’s bridal chamber.
