Chapter 979

When they heard that voice from outside, every immortal at the Wuwei Tower sect went momentarily speechless!

“Send an immortal companion? What an obscure term—can you even send something like that?”

Zhu Diezhen and Shangguan Jiujiu looked at Ye Yu in confusion and asked softly, “What’s going on? Husband, please explain.”

“There’s nothing to explain. Today I’m going to slaughter him one way or another!” Ye Yu finished, and the Feather Butterfly Sword instantly appeared in his palm.

The sword spirit Xiang Sizi sensed the surge of murderous intent in her master’s heart; her usual smile vanished, replaced by an icy expression.

Damn, you Demon Heavenly Lord really have the guts to come here! Fine—if you ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ disgust me today, I’ll chop you up!

Ye Yu took a step forward and dashed toward the sect entrance.

Seeing this, Zhu Diezhen, Shangguan Jiujiu, and the others were puzzled. “We only wanted to ask what was happening—why the sudden murderous intent? You’re not putting on a show, are you?”

Curious, the fairy disciples all gathered toward the sect entrance. Those with kinder tempers, like Su Yao and Fu Wangdai, went empty-handed; the more hot-tempered ones, like Bai Xichu and Yun Roumu, summoned their immortal weapons.

The Celestial Realm really was full of surprises! They’d seen people gift cultivation techniques or immortal artifacts, but never heard of sending an immortal companion.

Originally, resources in Wuwei Tower were scarce, and applicants many; now he was forcing in a “lead wolf,” taking what little space they had. “Come on—let’s see who really has the guts today!”

Before long, Ye Yu and over thirty fairy disciples arrived at the Wuwei Tower sect entrance. The Demon Heavenly Lord’s smile froze. He’d heard that Ye Yu had many immortal companions, but he hadn’t expected so many—all breathtaking beauties. He felt enormous pressure. He had planned to send companions to outshine them, but now he could barely secure a place for himself!

Ye Yu raised his sword and stepped forward. The Demon Heavenly Lord, perplexed, hurriedly asked, “Immortal Friend Ye, what are you doing? You and these disciples—why are you all wielding immortal weapons?”

He keenly noticed many of the disciples had unsheathed their arms. Something just felt off!

“I’ve drawn my immortal weapons so it’ll be easier if a fight breaks out. As for the immortal companion, come out and let me see!” Ye Yu’s tone was icy, as if he might lose control at any moment.

The Demon Heavenly Lord sensed trouble. A fight—what kind of fight? Could he be afraid the person he brought was too ugly? That was a huge underestimation of the Three Corpses Palace Lord!

He waved his hand, and a fairy in bridal attire strolled from the horizon, covering thousands of li in a single step. Her veil was embroidered with exquisite mandarin ducks—very much like a mortal wedding.

Ye Yu and the disciples exchanged strange glances. Has the Celestial Realm really become this down-to-earth?

With hands clasped behind his back, the Demon Heavenly Lord said softly, “I heard from recently ascended demonic immortals that this wedding style is popular in the mortal world, so I tried it. As for the bridal sedan chair—boring. Better to keep it straightforward. So, groom, lift the veil!”

He opened his palm, and a finely crafted jade ruyi appeared before Ye Yu. Ye Yu’s expression grew even stranger. In the mortal world, people don’t lift veils by hand; they use a tool. Ordinary families use a xi-cheng rod, symbolizing satisfaction; wealthy families use a jade ruyi to signify complete fulfillment!

Gotta admit, this old demon did his homework—he even brought the jade ruyi. Could he really be sincere in finding himself an immortal companion? As the saying goes, “No earnest service without ulterior motives.” Something smelled fishy!

With a thought, Ye Yu emitted a gentle force that pushed the Demon Heavenly Lord’s hand back. “Thanks for your kindness, Immortal Friend. I thought you were joking, so I played along. I didn’t expect you to be serious. Let’s forget it!”

Ye Yu turned to leave, but the Demon Heavenly Lord grabbed him. “Hey, how can this be a joke? I’ve found the companion for you—now you refuse? That won’t do! This immortal companion is yours, one way or another, you must accept her!”

Acting like a forced seller, he thrust the jade ruyi into Ye Yu’s hand, then vanished in an instant. His voice drifted from afar: “Once an immortal companion is delivered, no returns!”

Ye Yu was dumbstruck. Is this damn demonic immortal for real? He looks refined, yet he just sends over an immortal companion—and forces you to take her! This demonic immortal is too earnest, making me look like the villain here!

Ye Yu shook his head in bewilderment as the fairy disciples surrounded them. Bai Xichu and Yun Roumu cast unfriendly glances at the bride in red and in unison asked, “What do you plan to do with her?”

They exchanged glances, snorted coldly, and turned their heads away. Back when they’d ascended from the mortal realm, Bai Xichu had offended many of Ye Yu’s mortal wives—she was desperate to find him, so how could she get along with them? Even after those wives ascended, their relationship with Bai Xichu remained strained. Yun Roumu was comparatively mild—if Li Ruowang showed up, there might have been several fights!

Compared with their aggression, Zhu Diezhen remained calm. As the First Lady of the Ye Clan, jealousy was forbidden. She stepped forward and asked, “Who is that person? Why is he so kind? Is there a trap?” Ye Yu cast her an approving look. As expected of the First Lady, she hit the heart of the matter immediately.

“He is the Three Corpses Palace Lord, the Demon Heavenly Lord. I hardly know him—only met him a few times—but he’s unusually enthusiastic. Today he even directly sent an immortal companion; I’m not sure what’s going on. There could really be a trap!”

“If there’s a trap, better kill her outright!” Bai Xichu’s murderous intent flared, and she was about to strike.
