Chapter 180: Official Wedding To Xia Qingwu
In the aftermath of the Golden Bell Temple’s destruction, Lin Yun and the experts of the Lin Clan swiftly moved to claim the abandoned territory. The once formidable sect lay in ruins, and its disciples had scattered, leaving the area ripe for the taking. Lin Yun wasted no time, hiring workers to rebuild and experts to form the backbone of his new branch of the Lin Clan. However, the process was fraught with challenges.
Despite his efforts, the reputation of the Lin Clan’s branch struggled to attract the level of expertise Lin Yun desired. Many local experts were wary of aligning with a foreign power, especially one that had so violently dismantled a respected sect. But Lin Yun was undeterred. He devised several innovative methods to entice talent to his cause.
One evening, Lin Yun convened a meeting with his closest advisors in the newly refurbished main hall of the former Golden Bell Temple.
“We need to offer incentives that are irresistible,” Lin Yun stated, his tone firm. “Membership in the Lin Clan’s branch will come with access to rare resources, treasures, and techniques that are unavailable elsewhere.”
An advisor, Elder Zhao, nodded. “We can distribute spirit stones and cultivation manuals from our homeland. These will be valuable to many cultivators here.”
Lin Yun agreed. “Also, we should provide opportunities for rapid advancement. Our experts will personally mentor promising recruits, ensuring their swift rise in power.”
With these strategies in place, the Lin Clan began to see an influx of new members. Cultivators, drawn by the allure of rare resources and swift progression, joined the Lin Clan’s branch. Slowly but surely, Lin Yun’s efforts bore fruit.
Meanwhile, in the heart of the Three Peaks Alliance, Wang Li received news of Lin Yun’s activities. He was initially startled but quickly composed himself.
“Even with all his efforts, Lin Yun will need at least half a year to firmly establish his branch,” Wang Li mused aloud during a meeting with his closest allies. “We have time to prepare.”
The immediate focus for the Three Peaks Alliance, however, was Wang Li’s impending marriage to Xia Qingwu, daughter of Matriarch Xia Bingling. The grand ceremony was set to take place in the heart of their territory, and preparations were in full swing.
On the day of the wedding, Wang Li stood in resplendent red robes, his attire symbolizing prosperity and happiness. Xia Qingwu, equally radiant in her elegant red wedding dress, stood beside him. The gathering was a spectacle, with many reputed guests in attendance.
Gorgeous elders from the Jade Lotus Palace, including the alluring Palace Mistress Jiu Lan and her disciple Liu Xue, graced the event with their presence. From the Emerald Sea Palace, the stunning Palace Mistress Gao Ming arrived with her entourage. Representatives from numerous cultivation families also attended, adding to the grandeur.
As Wang Li and Xia Qingwu exchanged vows, Liu Xue and Jiu Lan couldn’t take their eyes off him. Liu Xue, unaware of her master’s intimate relationship with Wang Li, admired him openly. Jiu Lan, fully aware of the shared intimacy, watched with a knowing smile.
Xia Bingling, gazing at her son-in-law, felt a mixture of pride and desire. Their secret relationship added a layer of complexity to her emotions. Song Jingyan, too, admired Wang Li, their clandestine affair adding a hint of private joy to the public celebration.
The ceremony proceeded smoothly until Wang Xiangyi, Wang Li’s beautiful cousin, discreetly approached him. “Cousin, we have a situation. A group of experts has arrived outside the barrier. From their flags, they seem to be from the Lin Clan’s branch.”
Wang Li cursed under his breath. “Open the barrier for them,” he instructed. “We have three Soul Integration Realm experts here: myself, Xia Bingling, and Jiu Lan. With our array formations, we can hold our ground even against ten of their experts.”
Wang Xiangyi nodded and went to open the barrier. As it parted, Lin Yun and seven Soul Integration Realm experts of the Lin Clan entered. Lin Yun, immediately struck by Wang Xiangyi’s beauty, was momentarily flustered.
“I heard of this significant wedding event and that many esteemed leaders are present,” Lin Yun said softly, trying to make a good impression. “I felt it appropriate to attend as well.”
Wang Xiangyi rolled her eyes. “This is my cousin Wang Li’s wedding. You may enter, but do not cause any trouble, or the consequences will be severe.”
Some of Lin Yun’s guards bristled at her words, but Lin Yun raised his hand to stop them. He looked at Wang Xiangyi with an infatuated gaze. “You have my word. We won’t cause any trouble.”
The Lin Clan delegation entered the wedding ceremony, their presence causing a stir among the guests. Wang Li maintained his composure, his mind racing with plans on how to deal with this unexpected intrusion.
As the ceremony continued, Wang Li discreetly gathered his closest allies.
“Keep an eye on them,” he instructed. “We can’t afford any disruptions today.”
Xia Bingling and Jiu Lan, both understanding the gravity of the situation, nodded. “We’ll handle it, Wang Li,” Jiu Lan assured him.
Despite the tense undercurrent, the wedding proceeded without incident. Lin Yun and his experts maintained a respectful distance, observing the proceedings.
As the festivities drew to a close, Wang Li approached Lin Yun. “I appreciate your attendance, but let us speak plainly. What brings you here today?”
Lin Yun met his gaze steadily. “Our clan has established a branch here, and I felt it necessary to introduce myself formally. We wish to coexist peacefully and contribute to the prosperity of this land.”
Wang Li’s expression remained neutral. “Peace and prosperity are noble goals. However, your clan’s recent actions have disrupted the balance here. We will watch your actions closely.”
Lin Yun nodded. “Understood. We have no intention of causing further discord.”
With that, Lin Yun and his delegation took their leave. Wang Li watched them go, his mind already strategizing the next steps. The Lin Clan’s presence was a new challenge, but with the support of his allies and the strength of the Three Peaks Alliance, he was confident they could navigate the turbulent times ahead.
Later that night, Wang Li found himself alone with Xia Qingwu in their chambers. The day’s events had been exhausting, but the sight of his new bride brought a smile to his face.
“You were radiant today, Qingwu,” he said softly, pulling her into his arms.
She smiled up at him. “And you were magnificent, Li. I’m proud to be your wife.”
Without another word, Wang Li captured her lips in a passionate kiss, his hands already moving to undo the ties of her intricate red gown. The fabric fell away, revealing her flawless, pale skin. Xia Qingwu shivered under his touch, her hands fumbling to remove his robes as well.
In a flurry of movement, their clothes were discarded, and Wang Li lifted Xia Qingwu into his arms, carrying her to the bed. He laid her down gently, his eyes devouring the sight of her naked body. Her large breasts rose and fell with each ragged breath, her nipples hardening under his intense gaze.
Wang Li wasted no time. He lowered his head, taking one nipple into his mouth and sucking hungrily, while his hand fondled the other breast, squeezing and kneading the soft flesh. Xia Qingwu moaned, arching her back, her hands tangling in his hair.
“Li… please…” she begged, her voice desperate with need.
Wang Li moved lower, his lips trailing down her stomach, leaving a path of fiery kisses. He reached her core, and without hesitation, he plunged his tongue into her wet folds, tasting her arousal. Xia Qingwu cried out, her hips bucking against his mouth.
He licked and sucked, his fingers joining in to tease her sensitive clit. Xia Qingwu’s moans grew louder, her body trembling as she approached her first climax. With a final flick of his tongue, she shattered, screaming his name as waves of pleasure washed over her.
But Wang Li was far from finished. He rose, positioning himself between her legs. He gripped her thighs, spreading them wide as he thrust into her in one powerful stroke. Xia Qingwu gasped, her nails digging into his shoulders.
“Yes, Li… more… give me more…” she panted, wrapping her legs around his waist.
Wang Li began to move, his pace hard and relentless. Each thrust drove deeper, hitting that perfect spot inside her. He leaned down, capturing her lips in a bruising kiss as he pounded into her, his hands roaming over her body, squeezing her breasts and smacking her buttocks, making her cry out in pleasure.
They changed positions, Wang Li flipping her onto her hands and knees. He entered her from behind, his hands gripping her hips as he drove into her with renewed vigor. Xia Qingwu’s breasts swayed with each thrust, her moans filling the room.
“Li… I’m going to… I’m going to cum again… please, cum inside me…” she begged, looking over her shoulder at him with lust-filled eyes.
Wang Li groaned, feeling his own climax approaching. He increased his pace, pounding into her aggressively.
