Dominating Martial King

Chapter 1828: Chapter 600: A Grand Gesture

It wasn’t until Chu Xisheng asked that question that Lu Luanti suddenly snapped awake.

She was initially startled and instinctively glanced at the seat to Chu Xisheng’s left, only to realize that Chu Yunyun had already left.

It wasn’t that she was scared of Chu Yunyun or feeling guilty.

It was simply because Chu Xisheng shamelessly mentioned the words "bridal chamber," making her secretly annoyed and embarrassed.

"Stop talking nonsense in front of Sister Yunyun!"

Lu Luanti blushed, her eyes filled with killing intent, glaring fiercely at Chu Xisheng: "You still want a wedding night? Shouldn’t you give me an explanation first?"

He hadn’t proposed to her father, nor followed the traditional procedures.

Yet he wanted a wedding night? Dream on!

Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but blink, looking puzzled, "Explanation? What kind of explanation do I owe you?"

Lu Luanti felt like her chest was about to explode with anger at this guy. She gritted her teeth, clenching her fists tightly: "Last night, while drinking in the back garden, did you intentionally get me drunk and scheme against me? That’s practically a marriage scam!"

"How can you say that?"

Chu Xisheng frowned deeply: "Before drinking, I said that the wine was top-level divine brew used by the Giant Spirit to honor the Eternal Gods, fearing you couldn’t handle it. You chose to ignore the warning and drank desperately. How is that getting you drunk? As for scheming—"

Chu Xisheng’s face showed a look of sorrow and hurt: "Are you saying me wanting to marry you as my wife was a scheme? I was speaking sincerely; did you think I was joking? Setting a trap for you?"

Under his sorrowful questioning gaze, Lu Luanti felt a clutch in her breath, momentarily lost for words.

Was she wrong?

Had she misunderstood Chu Xisheng?

It wasn’t that she didn’t take the so-called top-level divine brew seriously, but she thought about how Chu Xisheng would ascend to the throne the next day, and Sister Yunyun would surely assume her rightful place in the Eastern Palace. She was overwhelmed with sadness and self-pity, using the wine to drown her sorrows, drinking a bit too much.

Also, she did agree a bit hastily at the time.

But Chu Xisheng hadn’t mentioned that on the next day, she would be enshrined as the Eastern Palace Deputy Empress at the enthronement ceremony.

"Could it be that you, Li’er, want to back out?"

Chu Xisheng sighed again, his eyes full of melancholy, as if his heart had broken to pieces, gazing out of the hall: "It’s a bit late to regret now, Li’er. In front of the entire court, you’ve accepted the homage of the ministers and my decree of enshrinement. Matters of the state are not a child’s play; they can’t just change on a whim.

But I also don’t want to restrict you; if you truly don’t wish this, Li’er, you can endure for a few years. After the state affairs have settled, you can leave freely whenever you want."

Lu Luanti was momentarily filled with uncertainty and doubt.

She suspected that Chu Xisheng was putting on an act.

The key was that he acted so well, leaving her only fifty or sixty percent sure.

Lu Luanti wished she could crack open this guy’s skull to see what he was really thinking inside.

"If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as agreement." Chu Xisheng’s expression became serious: "Let’s talk business. What’s gotten into you today, Li’er? You seem absent-minded. Did something happen?"

Lu Luanti opened her mouth right away, wanting to tell the truth.

Just then, she was suddenly distracted, thinking of the phrases on that slip of paper.

She didn’t even know what she was thinking when she slightly shook her head: "It’s nothing, nothing happened. I’m just confused by the situation you arranged for this morning. Waking up in the Zhai Clothes and Phoenix Crown, being watched by so many people."

"Really?" Chu Xisheng squinted his eyes slightly, scrutinizing Lu Luanti.

Lu Luanti was inwardly flustered but still nodded.

"I see." Chu Xisheng skeptically withdrew his gaze.

Just when Lu Luanti relaxed her mind and began to doubt her own actions.

Suddenly, a Vigorous Force exploded around her.

Lu Luanti instinctively wanted to draw her sword to defend herself but found herself unable to react before she was already sitting on Chu Xisheng’s lap.

Lu Luanti’s eyes slightly narrowed.

Just now, Chu Xisheng had sliced through all her defenses with the Heaven Slaying Blade and used the Ruyi Skill to bring her here.

Lu Luanti had no power to resist or make any defense.

She instinctively wanted to struggle but heard Chu Xisheng issue an undeniable cold snort: "Don’t move!"

At this moment, not only was there strong True Essence Blade Energy invading her body.

The voice also contained powerful Ruyi Skill, shaking her deep within her soul.

Lu Luanti’s movements instantly froze.

And in the next moment, Lu Luanti’s pupils widened abruptly.

That damn Chu Xisheng, he actually brought his extraordinarily handsome face down to hers, closing the distance until there was none between them.

Even after the initial contact, he greedily pushed further, exploring more deeply.

Lu Luanti’s mind was in turmoil, feeling like an explosive set off in her brain, a bombardment echoing loudly as her heart beat violently.

——This guy!

In her Thoughts, Lu Luanti was utterly blank, entirely giving in. She forgot how to think, nor did she want to think; she couldn’t move, nor did she want to struggle.

It wasn’t until a moment later that Lu Luanti felt as if something had been extracted from her Primordial Spirit, abruptly clearing her consciousness.

Just as she gritted her teeth, intending to take a bite of that raging presence in her mouth, Chu Xisheng suddenly sucked hard and quickly pulled back.

He spit a mouthful of blood foam forward.

The blood foam gathered together, forming the shape of an entirely black evil tiger with gray wings on its back.
