Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith Chapter 4991: Falling in Love with Each Other
Previously on Prodigiously Amazing Weaponsmith...
Li Shihong had come to realize that meddling in Li Moying’s affairs was impossible, and a sense of desperate resignation had already taken hold of him.
Still, the idea of their Divine level genius tying the knot with their sworn rivals made his heart ache fiercely.
Should word of this get out, the Cloudy Qilin Clan would turn into the laughingstock of all Ancient God Clans!
Furthermore, the clan had pinned all their grand expectations on Li Moying, believing his ascension would bring prosperity for millennia, yet it ended up as a gift to the Sacred Phoenix Clan.
Depression weighed heavily on him.
Were it any other person pulling this off, Li Shihong would erupt in fury, eager to shatter their cultivation and boot them from the family.
But... this was Li Moying.
They couldn’t risk offending him, nor did they dare clash openly.
In the end, even after marrying over, Li Moying’s veins still pulsed with Cloudy Qilin Clan blood, so he couldn’t ignore the clan’s fate. Provoking him into a fallout would spell doom not for Li Moying, but for the Cloudy Qilin Clan itself!
Never before had Li Shihong, revered Patriarch among the twelve mighty god clans of the God Realm, felt such stifled frustration.
He swallowed his bitterness hard, speaking to Li Moying in a measured, amiable voice, “Moying, on this issue of you marrying into their family, think it over more thoroughly...”
“No need for more words. My decision stands firm.” Li Moying cut him off with a dismissive wave, showing no courtesy.
Li Shihong’s expression froze. He opened his mouth to press further.
Right then, Huang Yueli reached out, clutching Li Moying’s sleeve with a gentle pull.
Her delicate, pale fingers resembled tender spring shoots, standing out vividly against his deep-hued robes.
“Husband.” Huang Yueli said softly, “Don’t put Patriarch Li in a tough spot.”
Without pausing for Li Moying’s reply, she turned to Li Shihong, “Patriarch Li, during my time in the Cloudy Qilin Clan, I was shown much kindness, and I don’t forget such bonds. So rest assured, though honoring my parents’ wishes means the wedding occurs in the Sacred Phoenix Continent, I won’t have Moying marry into my clan.”
At her words, the Cloudy Qilin Clan elders heaved sighs of relief, their faces lighting up with joyful surprise.
Li Shihong nearly shed tears of gratitude, “Patriarch Huang, your kindness and insight are truly remarkable. For Moying to have a spouse like you is the clan’s greatest blessing! We in the Cloudy Qilin Clan were blind to your worth before. Please forgive our past offenses...”
The Sacred Phoenix Clan elders’ faces darkened instantly.
They exchanged uneasy glances, itching to speak up and sway her.
Li Moying merely arched an eyebrow, staying silent.
He always heeded his wife’s words, and with Li’er having declared her choice publicly, he’d follow without question.
Besides, they’d already talked this over privately multiple times, so he anticipated her next words.
True enough, Huang Yueli lifted her hand lightly, silencing the babbling Sacred Phoenix Clan Elders.
“Elders, enough said. I have no plans to marry into the Cloudy Qilin Clan either.”
She halted briefly, then amid the crowd’s baffled stares, faced Li Moying with a subtle smile curving her lips.
“I understand that tradition calls for marriages uniting two families. But my union with Moying transcends all that. We simply fell in love and yearn to stay together forever. Thus, no marrying in, no marrying out.”
