The Evil Consort Above An Evil King

It was their big day. Gu Xijiu should forget about the bad things and focus on the good ones instead. All eyes were staring, as he carried her in his arms and went through the doors. The roaring music played on, along with the release of some firecrackers.

He finally let her down when they arrived at the center of the wedding hall. The hall was brilliantly decorated. Besides the exquisite decorations, there was a board that was engraved with the words ‘heaven and earth’.

As a tradition, newlywed couples would usually hang the board that was engraved with the words ‘The Lord’ to pay respect to him as the guardian of the entire land. Now that it was The Lord’s wedding, they certainly could not hang his own title up. The only higher superiority over him would be heaven and earth.

The chief witness of the wedding ceremony was Gu Canmo. His face began to light up, glowing with immense happiness. Apparently, he must have been told to follow another set of procedures, as none of the things he did follows the customs of how a traditional wedding was supposed to be carried out.

First, he faced Di Fuyi. “My Lord, will you take Gu Xijiu, the National Celestial Master, to be your lawful wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, to never let her go nor let her down, to carry out all services as told, to never go against any of her requests, and to honor her wishes truthfully?”

It was not only Di Fuyi who was surprised by the bombardment of questions, but the guests in the hall were also all taken by great surprise as well. Some thought it was a gag.

Long Siye was speechless. He looked at Gu Canmo with eyes full of disapproval. Without a doubt, Gu Xijiu must have revised the vows with him before the wedding. She had even used many terms from the modern days. Some were even quoted from the drama series.

If The Lord agreed to the vows, it was safe to assume that he would become a henpecked husband who agreed to all of his wife’s requests. For a man as superior as The Lord, people were curious if he was going to agree to all of the requests.

Many curious eyes turned and looked at Di Fuyi. They wondered how he was going to solve the conflict.

Di Fuyi hesitated for a moment and looked at Gu Xijiu fixedly. Although he could not see her face under the veil, he could clearly picture that she was now staring back at him with her big, bright eyes, anticipating his answer.

He smiled. “I will,” he answered in all seriousness.

There was a complete silence followed by his answer.

Soon, the place started to bustle with noise and excitement again. Some were whistling and cheering. Certainly, some shook their heads at the answer.

Gu Canmo raised his hand to tell the crowd to keep their voices down. He had some questions for the bride as well.

The crowd became quiet again. There was an expectant stir from the audience, as they looked forward to his upcoming questions.

Gu Canmo looked at Gu Xijiu with close interest. “Miss Gu, will you take Huang Tu, The Lord, for your lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, to love and to honor him as long as he will live, to be his wife eternally, and that you will not fall in love, or remarry, any other man?”

For a while, the audience remained speechless. They could not accept The Lord’s discontinued existence in the world. Even when all humans in the world were extinct, The Lord would still be around. Gu Canmo must have been a fool to ask such a silly question.

Was it appropriate to present such a negative question on their big day?

The audience looked at him rather inquisitively. Hua Wuyan, who had witnessed the entire ceremony, commented, “Headmaster Gu, what kind of question was that? The Lord will live eternally. Your offensive questions have just cursed The Lord with mortality.”

Gu Canmo had to suffer the blame in silence. He only acted the way Gu Xijiu wanted him to.
