How to Crash a Wedding

The union between An family and Lai family will be a spectacle that would leave the entirety of Jiangshan talking about it.

A huge enough event that warranted the two families to use a public plaza due to the amount of guests they are expecting to receive.

An Ce, the family head of the An family had arrived to the bustling plaza. Her gorgeous wife, An Huang, right beside him.

It was momentous event for Ce, to see her little daughter getting married. Finally becoming a full pledged woman by societal standards.

Meeting head to head with the Lai family, the two patriarchs cupped their hands to show mutual respect.

Lai Jou, the Lai family head was a burly man whose figure was close to Ce, also had her wife next to him named Lai Shuyan. Shuyan was a green haired fairy that could match the Huang in terms of beauty.

"Sister Huang, you look lovely as ever!"

"The same could be said for you, sister Shuyan!"

In contrast to their husbands who are still testing the waters. The two wives have been good friends since their teenage days.

Huang and Shuyan exchanged an embrace. The ones responsible for the union that is about to conclude today. Childhood friends as they were, their desire to truly become family shall manifest in the form of this marriage. While there is an abundance of merit in their households uniting, this pact that the two made when they were still young ones were the true reason.

With every decorations in sight colored red to signify fortune and longevity, the family heads took the front seat as the marriage is now set to begin.

Meanwhile the bride and the groom had their arms locked together in a room, awaiting the call to march.

"You've been awfully quiet, cold feet? Don't even think of backing out since the shame it will bring upon your family will be tremendous if you run away in front of this many guest." Zhangming snickered. His words meant to strip Lin of any doubts.

"You misunderstand, I'm choosing silence words cannot express how happy I am today."

A reply from Lin that stunned Zhangming. Had she finally seen the light!? Then it was happy occasion indeed!

"Fallen for my charm, have you!? I knew you would come around eventually!"

Before Lin could shut down Zhangming about his nonexistent charm. A helper came for them, telling them that it is finally time.

Hundreds of influential guests watched as veiled bride wearing a red red wedding dress that had been gilded with gold.

With each step they took the altar where they would exchange vows is getting closer.

For Lin, each step represented her inching closer to freedom in expressing who she really is.

As they stepped onto the Altar, a chill permeated into the air. Making Zhangming shiver, "Why did it get so cold suddenly? Let's hurry up and take out vows."

The moment was finally at hand, Lin let go of Zhangming's arm, "I'll be taking my vow, but not with you."

"What are you on about? Are you planning to back out? Go ahead, show all these people how untrustworthy the An family is."

Amused at Zhangming's words, Lin simply smirked. After all that is going to happen tonight, that's not what the people would learn about the An family.

The chill intensified, until its source had arrived from above. It was a flying masked cultivator riding a sword. In both her arms, she carried another woman wearing the same exquisite wedding dress as Lin.

"Stop the wedding!"

As if the cold that emanated from Xiao wasn't enough, Xiao's booming shout had all eyes turn her.

From such a daring height, Xiao landed gracefully as her passenger wrapped her hands tight around Xiao.

Lin's mother stood, "How dare you shout nonsense! Do you even know whose wedding you are crashing!? Seize her immediately!"

With one command from Huang, the An family men was ready to swarm the masked cultivator.

Xiao grinned at all the lightweight moving into her direction. With one step from her feet, she had blasted them with her raw killing intent, a wave that knocked them over.

Every guest gasped at the power of this masked menace. With how powerful she is, there was only one left in here to stop her now.

"Bing! Come and kill that woman!" The hysterical Huang shouted. This trespasser must pay for ruining such a momentous occasion!

Jumping from his hiding spot, the bald cultivator had arrived into the scene. Bing had ejected a bo staff from his storage ring and took his stance, pointing his weapon towards the intruder.

In response, Xiao had molded ice tonfas in both hand.

As swift as his qi element, Bing charged.

The two cultivators clashed in melee, although green in the art of tonfas, her superior speed allowed the masked cultivator to parry every thrust of Bing's pole.

Their weapons finally locked, Bing lowered her voice as he gazed upon the other mysterious woman wearing a wedding dress, "Please, ensure that the Young mistress is happy."

Although hesitant, the woman agreed, "I shall do my best to be a good wife."

"There you have it, old man Bing." Xiao smiled.

Had they not let him on this plan, Bing would fight to the bitter end, perhaps even until he had perished for the name of the An family. But since the Young mistress herself pleaded with him, he finally agreed.

"I am ready." With an wry grin, Bing resigned.

Keeping her left hand locked with the staff, Xiao's right hand slid back along with her feet. Ice qi gathered around the tip of her tonfa, preparing for one devastating strike. With one swift motion, Xiao unleashed a brutal ice punch that shattered Bing's bo staff upon contact, but the force from her punch wasn't done yet! Xiao's fist slammed into his stomach, making him fly in between the guests and making a crater onto the wall.

Xiao then turned her attention into Zhangming.

"You, leave or fight. I don't care which, but I want you to know that I would show no mercy if you choose the latter."

Zhangming gulped, he can't be made a fool in front of all these people! He would rather face death than face the shame of his bride getting stolen!

"You bastard! My family will have you killed!" After his outburst, Zhangming ran to punch the masked woman.

Sloppy and untrained, Xiao took the punch straight into the chin uncovered by the mask.

With a condescending chuckle, Xiao mocked, "You call that a punch?"

As much as Xiao wanted to murder Zhangming, self-restraint was still apparent in her. His crime of coveting Lin was grave indeed, but this humiliation should be enough of a price for him to pay.

Using a modicum of force to ensure that Zhangming's head won't fly off, Xiao backhanded Zhangming, giving him the same fate as Bing.

The Lai family rushed to tend to their son while Ce stood to mediate.

"Enough, master cultivator, if Bing was no match against you then no one in this place is. What is it that you want?" Ce mediated. If there is still hope of that this wedding could be salvaged, then Ce must step up.

"The same thing as you do. A marriage. You value status, right? Then it's only fitting that I present the same person who would be a perfect fit for Lin on that front." Xiao's hand gestured to the veiled woman. "I present to you the young mistress of the Shen family. Shen Liuming."

Liuming lifted her veil, revealing her gorgeous red hair had been tied into a bun for the occasion while her already natural beauty was enhance with make up.

The revelation sent the entire rows of guests into a murmur.

Huang, looking like she was ready to pull out he hair, screamed at the top of her lungs, "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FUCKING MIND! YOU CRASH THIS WEDDING AND THEN YOU UTTER NOTHING BUT NONSENSE! THEY ARE BOTH WOMEN, THEY CAN'T MARRY EACH OTHER!"

Xiao chuckled, "Is that so? Watch them do it, then."
