Chapter 846: The Marriage Book....
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Hao flew back to the ancient city on his sword.
The city was vast, and he still wanted to explore other places.
Perhaps there were some hidden places that he could find.
After meeting with Hong Yuye at the city gate, they continued to wander around the city.
It got dark, and the stars shone brightly in the sky. The moon was up high.
Jiang Hao walked out of an alley and walked to the river.
The place near the river was lit up. There were many people there. Usually, men and women walked hand-in-hand.
“Is there a festival here today?” Jiang Hao was curious.
Hong Yuye glanced at him but said nothing.
Jiang Hao didn’t care. He hadn’t researched anything here properly, so he didn’t know much.
But it was natural to not know the culture of a new place when visiting for the first time.
Unfortunately, he hadn’t gained anything today.
The stone monument had already been cleaned, and he couldn’t do anything about it.
His only chance was snatched away by Mr. Tao and the others. It was a pity.
“This river is glowing.” Jiang Hao looked at the river in surprise.
There was a faint light under the river.
The river was lined with houses and stalls on both sides.
There were many people walking around.
Hong Yuye glanced down at the river. “The water here is very clear.”
“Clear?” Jiang Hao looked and nodded. “Yes, it’s really clear.”
There was spiritual energy inside the water. This place wasn’t as simple as it looked.
It was as expected of the Astronomical Academy.
As they continued to walk forward, they saw another statue.
This time, it wasn’t a person but a book.
“There’s a statue ahead.” Jiang Hao bought two pastries at a stall.
He wanted to save them for later.
“Twenty spirit stones,” the middle-aged seller said.
“Twenty?” Jiang Hao was surprised.
He thought it would only cost three to five spirit stones.
“These pastries are for those united forever,” said the middle-aged seller. “You can’t find it outside.”
“United forever?” Jiang Hao was surprised. He didn’t understand what it meant.
The middle-aged hawker looked surprised. Then, he thought of something and smiled. “Take this thing and go to the book in front to offer it. Something good will happen.”
“Ah?” Jiang Hao was quite puzzled, especially because the hawker winked at
him teasingly.
“Since you’re already here, go and take a look,” he said again.
Jiang Hao was even more puzzled.
After that, he paid the money, accepted the pastries, and walked ahead.
“Do you want to go and see, Senior?” he asked.
He walked ahead.
The more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.
Why were there only couples everywhere?
It was only after he walked through this road that he realized.
This didn’t seem to be a place he should be at.
Some men and women were standing in front of the statue of a book. They offered pastries in devotion.
But he could finally guess the reason. The pastry was called “Undying Heart.” He stole a glance at Hong Yuye. She looked indifferent.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Senior, let’s go to another place to take a look. It seems that there’s nothing special here.” Hong Yuye looked at the book and didn’t answer.
Jiang Hao led the way, and they left.
They stayed in the ancient city. The inn was mostly filled with ordinary people. Unexpectedly, there was a spiritual energy source inside.
Ordinary cultivators couldn’t perceive it. Otherwise, they would stay here all the time.
It could be somewhat helpful for cultivation too.
Jiang Hao brewed some tea for Hong Yuye in the inn. The tea had cost him 1,500 spirit stones.
The two of them also ate the pastries they had bought.
“What do you think was the purpose of the statue of a book?” Hong Yuye suddenly asked.
“It might be for making some kind of wish,” said Jiang Hao.
Hong Yuye didn’t ask anything else. Jiang Hao said that he wanted to ask around about the Sage’s Pages and left the inn.
In the vast room, there was no sound.
Even the sound of breathing was barely audible.
Suddenly, there was a sound of someone pouring tea into a cup.
It was Hong Yuye pouring a cup of tea for herself.
She held the teacup in her hands and waited for it to cool a bit.
After a short while, she placed the teacup back on the table.
She stood up and walked outside.
Her steps were slow, and she walked out of the inn.
No one noticed her presence, and no one blocked her way. It was as if an invisible force made way for her.
She walked aimlessly.
“Do you think our names will be on the Marriage Book?” asked a woman.
Hong Yuye slowed her pace.
There was a man and a woman holding hands.
“Of course! Even the sages will be moved by our sincere prayer,” the man said seriously.
“But my family is against our marriage. What if they don’t let me marry you?” The woman was worried.
“The path we walk is together. Those pastries were called Undying Heart pastries. We offered them to the Marriage Book with sincerity. Trust me, everything will be okay,” said the man.
“I heard that walking by the River of Love means we’ll be together for eternity. If that’s true, I can truly be happy,” said the woman. “But… if our family doesn’t agree with it. let’s run away together.”
The man nodded. “Alright.”
Hong Yuye watched them and continued walking ahead.
After a while, she stopped. Her mind was filled with thoughts.
Finally, her red figure disappeared.
Meanwhile, Jiang Hao returned to the monument of the Great Sage.
He wanted to see if he could still wipe it.
However, there was not even a speck of dust.
He tried wiping the monument anyway, but nothing happened.
As for the words engraved on it, he didn’t care about them anymore.
He had missed his opportunity!
This trip hadn’t gone smoothly for him. Was it because of the vortex?
He sighed. Suddenly, he felt a curse approach him.
He took out the Heavenly Fate Misfortune Pearl. The curse withdrew. However, when it sensed who it was, it surged after a while.
‘It’s so powerful…’ Jiang Hao was in awe.
He immediately thought of Gui but realized it couldn’t be her.
It must be Granny Kufa who had attacked him before.
She had finally made a move. Jiang Hao didn’t know when her main body would arrive.
Jiang Hao finally understood why some people feared Granny Kufa so much.
The power of her curse was indeed extraordinary.
At the Sea Sky Forest, an old man walked out.
He looked back and couldn’t help but smile. “I’ve finished what I promised. Are you still going to follow me?”
At that moment, two Immortal Ascension Realm experts appeared behind him. “It’s an honor to be able to do things for you, Senior.”
“An honor?” Old Man Corpse Sea smiled.
Then, a sea appeared in the Sea Sky Forest, and two dead bodies walked out of it.
They rushed at the two people at lightning speed.
Boom!
The two people were sent flying.
They were astonished and tried to cast spells to escape.
However, the corpses didn’t give them a chance. It grabbed them and pulled them toward the Corpse Sea.
“Senior, this must be a misunderstanding!” the two shouted.
Old Man Corpse Sea shook his head and laughed. “Sure. Let this be a misunderstanding, then…”
After that, he walked away.
Not long after he left, the entire Sea Sky Forest was covered in turbulent waves that swept in all directions.
The sea completely covered the mountains..
