Parasite Breeding Longveity Path: Starting from breeding the love Obsession parasite Chapter 7 - 7: Wedding Feast-Old Cow Eats Tender Grass_1

At that precise moment, Ji Bingyu also observed the incident that had just occurred.

“My lord, was that individual you mentioned earlier named Liu Dong?”

Ji Bingyu inquired through a private spiritual transmission.

“That is correct.”

Zhou Sui offered no deception: “He was once a close companion of my father. However, following my parents' passing, he has repeatedly pressured me to sell this residence. Had I not remained within the safety of Misty Cloud City, I likely would have fallen victim to his schemes long ago.”

“Hmph, one truly cannot judge a person by their appearance. To think he would plot against his friend's son just for a house. Truly loathsome!”

A flicker of lethal intent flashed within Ji Bingyu’s striking eyes.

She was not a native of Misty Cloud City, having journeyed tens of thousands of miles to reach this place. To reach such a high stage of Cultivation, she was clearly no ordinary woman.

Being decisive and ruthless were vital traits for any loose cultivator.

Without significant strength, surviving a journey across such vast distances to reach Misty Cloud City unharmed would have been impossible.

The number of bandits who had fallen by her hand was beyond count.

This Liu Dong was truly seeking his own demise by targeting her husband.

“Yu’er, please calm your anger. We must not act recklessly within Misty Cloud City, or we will surely face the wrath of the city law enforcement,” Zhou Sui cautioned immediately, sensing the cold killing intent radiating from her.

Violating the peace within the city walls would mean they could no longer reside there.

“Do not fret. I am not some bloodthirsty maniac. I am merely disgusted by his treacherous heart. A villain like that might just ‘unintentionally’ perish in the wilderness one day.”

“Regardless, my lord, today is our wedding day. We shouldn't permit such a trivial person to dampen our spirits.”

Ji Bingyu let out a soft laugh, playing the part of a fragile woman who would never dream of something as gruesome as murder.

Secretly, however, her mind was made up. The moment Liu Dong stepped outside the city gates, she would move to erase this potential danger permanently.

“Very well.”

Zhou Sui nodded, pushing the matter to the back of his mind.

After all, this was his wedding day. What did a man like Liu Dong matter in comparison?

……

Meanwhile, the guests at the feast were occupied with their own private thoughts. They observed the handsome Zhou Sui and the stunning Ji Bingyu with a mix of complex emotions.

“I can hardly believe it. Who would have thought that Zhou would wed at eighteen, and to a woman at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation? His luck is truly heaven-defying.”

“Indeed. She is beautiful and possesses such high Cultivation. I fail to see what she finds in him. Is it possible he is exceptionally vigorous? I am green with envy.”

“Why has no such beauty noticed me? I possess decent talent and am quite capable myself.”

“Tsk, stop boasting. Everyone knows your reputation. You are a legend in the Willow Lane, known as the ‘Wealth-Distributing Boy.’ You’re their best customer every year, and the street talk calls you ‘Three-Second Liu.’”

“Nonsense! Who is spreading such foul lies about three seconds?”

“Hehe, whether this is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen. Does she truly care for him? I suspect she’s after his property. This looks like an old cow eating tender grass, taking both the man and his fortune.”

“Is that so? If it’s true, isn't Zhou in grave peril? These female cultivators can be like black widows, using men to boost their own power. Zhou might be drained dry before we know it.”

The gathered cultivators continued their hushed gossip.

They found it highly suspicious that such a powerful woman was drawn to Zhou Sui. After all, she was at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, a mere step away from Foundation Establishment.

A woman of her standing could have anyone. Choosing a minor cultivator at the first layer of Qi cultivation felt like she had hidden, darker intentions.

“Remembering his parents, I tried to warn the boy privately that this woman might have a hidden agenda. I told him to be wary of being ensnared by a witch and that he couldn't handle someone like her.

But do you know his response? He claimed they were in love, a fated match, and told me to stop trying to cause trouble.

He should look in a mirror! If he didn't own a house, does he really think a female cultivator would glance his way?”

One male neighbor spoke with visible frustration. He felt his neighborly concern had been thrown back in his face, making him look like a villain instead of a friend.

He felt his kindness had been utterly wasted on an ungrateful fool.

“Hehe, you can't save someone who is destined for ruin. If he wants to walk into his own grave, we can't stop him. Zhou has chosen his path.”

“Quiet down. If that woman hears you, you'll be the one in trouble.”

“True. Even if she is a witch, she is at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation. Wiping us out would take her mere moments.”

“Poor Zhou, it won't be long before that witch sucks the life out of him.”

“It’s out of our hands. This is his fate. If he had sold the house and fled back to the mortal world, he might have lived. Staying in Misty Cloud City was his mistake.”

“Anyway, we aren't that close to him. We're just neighbors. It’s none of our business.”

“Let’s finish the wine and get out of here. That woman is far too dangerous.”

The whispers continued among the guests.

The consensus was that Zhou was finished. Having been targeted by a powerful older female cultivator, his life force would surely be harvested.

His prospects for survival seemed grim to them.

……

“Those idiots, their mouths are absolutely filthy.”

“An old cow eating tender grass? My sister is in her prime, what tender grass are they talking about?”

Standing nearby, Mu Ziyi overheard the murmurs and flared with rage. Her sister was being branded a witch by these people—it was intolerable!

“Let it go. Today is a celebration. We shouldn't make a scene. Let them gossip. We won't have to deal with them after today anyway.”

Xia Jingyan quickly moved to restrain her.

To be honest, she understood why the other cultivators felt that way.

If she saw a woman at the ninth layer of Qi cultivation marrying a man at the first, she would also assume the man was being used as a human furnace for dual cultivation.

However, Ji Bingyu was her long-time friend and sister. She knew her character well. Ji Bingyu was certainly not the type of cultivator who preyed on men.

Their union was born of genuine affection, at least from her sister's perspective.

But there was no point in explaining this; nobody would believe the truth even if she told them.

“What exactly does she see in him?”

Xia Jingyan watched Zhou Sui from a distance, filled with wonder. She couldn't comprehend why her brilliant sister would choose such an unremarkable man.

Could it be as the others suggested? That beneath his ordinary exterior, he possessed incredible vitality or secret talents in dual cultivation?

Regardless of her curiosity, the ceremony proceeded.

Before long, Zhou Sui and Ji Bingyu finished the formal rites and were escorted to the bridal chamber, bringing the wedding feast to its conclusion.
