A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

240: Enter Yunmeng CityYunmeng Prefecture!

As the absolute hegemon within a radius of five hundred thousand miles, Yunmeng Prefecture controls everything in this region.

Today, the majestic ancient city of [Yunmeng Prefecture City] is experiencing an unprecedented grand occasion, with guests arriving from all directions.

The eighteen city lords, two hundred seventy-eight mayors, one thousand eight hundred ninety-one village chiefs under the jurisdiction of Yunmeng Prefecture, as well as various forces, all brought heavy gifts to offer their congratulations.

Even the neighboring Tianshui Prefecture sent heavyweight representatives to present congratulatory gifts.

It is reported that the Prefectural Lord of Yunmeng set up one hundred thousand tables for the banquet today, which will last for ten consecutive days; such a grand gesture is a first for Yunmeng Prefecture.

However, the reason behind this massive display is not because the Prefectural Lord is about to marry his 1,132nd concubine—despite his far-reaching reputation for lechery and taking concubines several times a year.

The true reason is that Princess Liu Yue, the only daughter of the Prefectural Lord of Yunmeng, is about to officially take a husband into her household.

The Prefectural Lord regards Flowing Moon as the pearl of his palm, so it is only reasonable for him to organize such a grand event for her.

”A distinguished guest has arrived! Tianshui Prefecture has dispatched its eldest son, bringing two-thousand-year-old Ice Like Jade, one hundred thousand spirit stones, and ten Treasure-grades to congratulate!”

”The City Lord of Luochuan City under Yunmeng Prefecture presents five-hundred-year-old Lingzhi, spirit ginseng, five hundred spirit fruits, one hundred thousand gold bricks, and two hundred thousand silver bricks!”

”The City Lord of Pingyang City under Yunmeng Prefecture presents a Treasure-grade, the Phoenix Feather Raiment, eighty thousand gold bricks, and one hundred thousand silver bricks!”

”The City Lord of Yun Bo City under Yunmeng Prefecture presents one thousand stalks of century-old spirit herbs, one hundred thousand gold bricks, and one hundred sixty thousand silver bricks...”

The master of ceremonies’ voice grew louder each time, shaking the hearts of countless people.

At this moment, Bai Tian and Emil, disguised as City Lord Yun Bo’s personal guards, followed him slowly toward the VIP seats while carefully observing everything around them.

”People in this other world really care about pomp and ceremony; compared to this, the century weddings on our Blue Star are simply pale by comparison,” Emil sighed as she sent this message to Bai Tian.

The level of luxury all around was hard to see even in fantasy movies, so Emil’s lament was understandable.

At this moment, Jiang Yuebai was not with them; Bai Tian had already told her to activate stealth mode and move ahead first.

Suddenly, a sharp reprimand rang out, ”Halt! Do you two not know the rules? Personal guards are not qualified to enter the VIP seats with their master.”

This voice came from a high-level manager of Yunmeng Prefecture; he was supercilious, not even showing respect to City Lord Yun Bo.

After scolding Bai Tian and Emil, he turned his gaze toward City Lord Yun Bo, his tone filled with contempt.

”City Lord Yun Bo, you are an old city lord after all. You cannot bring dogs with you when sitting in the VIP section. Otherwise, go sit down below. Have you forgotten this?”

Facing such an insult, City Lord Yun Bo did not get angry; instead, he smilingly pulled out a mass of precious Profound Jade and handed it to the manager.

”Manager Liu is right. However, these two are not my guards, but a nephew and niece I recently recognized. They wanted to come out and see the world, so please be flexible.”

The manager, having received the gift, softened his expression slightly. ”So they are the City Lord’s nephew and niece! Fine, I’ll make an exception this once. Go on in!”

After cupping his hands in thanks to the manager, City Lord Yun Bo continued forward with Bai Tian and Emil.

But in his heart, he secretly harbored a grudge, ”This dog acting on its master’s power... once my business is done, the first person I’ll skin alive is you.”

This scene made Bai Tian and Emil find it amusing, feeling that such scenarios were not rare in any world.

After taking their seats in the VIP section, Bai Tian privately sent a message to Jiang Yuebai, asking if she had found the person.

A moment later, after receiving a reply, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly; everything was progressing smoothly.

Half an hour later, a loud announcement rang out: ”The Prefectural Lord has arrived!”

The entire audience stood up, their gazes simultaneously turning toward the same direction.

A middle-aged man with pale skin and dark circles under his eyes appeared, wearing a dragon-patterned python robe and a purple-gold crown. Behind him followed two figures wearing red and blue hats respectively, walking with the stride of a dragon and the step of a tiger.

This middle-aged man was the Prefectural Lord of Yunmeng—Ye Liushen, a human-demon who had lived for over three hundred eighty years, nearly four hundred years old.

Although his face appeared slightly fatigued, he still looked young, and the sharpness in his eyes made people afraid to look directly at him.

”The two people behind him wearing red and blue hats are the famous Red and Blue Elders of Yunmeng Prefecture; both are King Rank Experts.”

City Lord Yun Bo sent a voice transmission to Bai Tian and Emil.

”I thank you all for gracing the ceremony of my concubine’s induction and my daughter’s wedding today.”

The Prefectural Lord announced solemnly, ”As you all know, I take many concubines every year, so this induction is just a small matter. Today’s protagonist is undoubtedly my beloved daughter, Flowing Moon.”

With a grand wave of his hand, the Prefectural Lord announced: ”My daughter’s husband-taking ceremony begins now!”

As his words fell, a group of people walked out holding transparent beads, which were smashed with ’crackling’ sounds, the shards forming a path.

These shards were exceptionally sharp; touching them would cause injury and continuous bleeding.

Just as Bai Tian and Emil were feeling curious about this other world’s customs, a woman wearing a dragon crown and golden clothes, whose features and temperament were sixty percent similar to the Prefectural Lord, came slowly riding a dragon-horse, surrounded by a crowd.

She was Princess Liu Yue; despite her outstanding appearance, her innate arrogance and overbearing manner were hard to conceal.

”Father!”

Princess Liu Yue was not wearing a bride’s outfit but a groom’s outfit; she cupped her hands in greeting to her father from a distance.

The Prefectural Lord responded with a smile: ”Good daughter, today is your big day, there is no need for such formalities.”

Subsequently, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: ”Please bring out the new son-in-law!”

To the sound of musical instruments, a figure dressed in a phoenix crown and rosy raiment, with a red veil over their head and bare feet locked by red ankle chains, was pushed out.

Princess Liu Yue announced condescendingly: ”Entering my Liu family’s gate, you are my person in life and my ghost in death. I shall change your surname; from today on, you shall be called Liu Fan.”

The man being escorted forward was none other than Liao Fan; his mouth seemed to be stuffed with something, making him unable to speak.

”Why don’t you kneel and give thanks?” The people escorting Liao Fan kicked his calves heavily, forcing him to kneel.

This scene caused Bai Tian’s originally calm heart to become like a volcano about to erupt.

”That’s enough.”

Princess Liu Yue commanded in an indifferent tone: ”Today is an auspicious day, kneeling can be excused, let’s proceed directly to the ceremony.”

Following that, the people escorting Liao Fan stopped their actions.

Perhaps sensing Bai Tian’s previous emotional fluctuation, Emil, who was beside him, rarely sent a message, warning: ”A little impatience spoils great plans, do not be impulsive.”

However, Bai Tian did not respond, his gaze growing increasingly cold.

The master of ceremonies announced loudly: ”A match made in heaven, a joyful union! The bride shall ride the groom across the Three Lives Bridge, to be together forever from now on, her person in life, her ghost in death.”

As soon as the words fell, Princess Liu Yue leaped up and actually used Liao Fan’s head as a stool, sitting down directly.

The true intention of that path paved with jade beads earlier was to have Princess Liu Yue ride Liao Fan across it; it was no different from treading on glass shards.

Liao Fan could not bear the humiliation and angrily shook his head left and right, trying to throw Princess Liu Yue off.

Seeing this, Princess Liu Yue’s face darkened, and she quickly pulled out a twenty-centimeter-long steel needle, intending to stab it into Liao Fan’s arm to force him to submit.

Judging by how practiced the movement was, this likely wasn’t the first time.

However, because Liao Fan was under some kind of restriction, he couldn’t exert even a fraction of the strength he had gained from ’Nine Heavens’.

Motherfucker!

If he saw his best brother suffering this kind of insult and still continued to endure, then he wouldn’t be Bai Tian!

Bai Tian suddenly stood up abruptly...
