Chapter 2521 Riches Abound

The groom was puzzled, and he chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so happy."

"Yes, happy." As she spoke, Mu Anxiao alighted from the carriage. Upon seeing the 'ground paved with gold,' she inwardly rejoiced and followed the servant leading the way into the palace gates.

Stepping through the palace gates, her gaze fell upon a red carpet stretching all the way to the golden palace, lined with people and strewn with roses. With each step forward, Mu Anxiao could never have imagined Ouyang Ye would make her and his wedding such a grand affair, with the booming of gongs. Forcing herself to stay clear-headed, she glanced towards the prison carriage draped in red cloth behind the crowd. Inside the carriage, Feng Qishi looked at her expressionlessly. With that one glance, an inexplicable unease settled in her heart. Clenching her fists, she reminded herself to be rational while her eyes searched for the immortal beings brought into the palace.

Inside the prison carriage.

The wolf demon and the others had been sitting in a corner since they heard that Ouyang Ye had forced Mu Anxiao to kill them. They dared not move, watching Feng Qishi standing there, gazing at Mu Anxiao. "Stop looking," the wolf demon warned.

Hearing this, Feng Qishi's eyes darkened, and he turned to the wolf demon, asking, "If I were to arrange such a wedding for Mu Anxiao, would she be happy?" He crouched down.

The wolf demon laughed, "You should know better than us how greedy Mu Anxiao is. If you truly spent money to hold such a wedding for her, I reckon," he clicked his tongue, "she'd beat you up and then give you the silent treatment for decades."

"She's that greedy?" Jin Ye exclaimed in surprise.

The vine spirit laughed, "When she gets greedy for wealth, she really leaves no room for us."

"Is that so?" Jin Ye muttered, not daring to get up, and only looked in Mu Anxiao's direction, grumbling, "In that case, I should have bribed her with money. Alas, it was a miscalculation." He sighed and shook his head as he finished.

Feng Qishi glanced at Jin Ye and said nothing.

Then, the wolf demon and the vine spirit both cast looks of disdain at Jin Ye. Feng Qishi's mind raced, and he curiously asked, "By the way, are all these monsters criminals?"

"Yes," the wolf demon nodded.

Upon hearing this, Feng Qishi lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and then quickly stood up, looking at Mu Anxiao who was scanning her surroundings on the red carpet. He thought, it seemed she had found her path to riches.

At the same time, the wolf demon, emboldened by Feng Qishi, stood up and stepped forward, whispering, "If these criminal monsters are captured and brought back, won't Mu Anxiao get rich?" He placed a hand on Feng Qishi's shoulder.

Feng Qishi nodded.

The wolf demon quickly said, "Then we should hurry and tell her this news. Hmm, we can use mind transmission..."

"Do you think she wouldn't have thought of something you could think of?" Feng Qishi interrupted. To prevent Ouyang Ye from looking over, he sat back down.

The wolf demon thought for a moment, "You're right."

"Just wait," Feng Qishi said quietly, believing Mu Anxiao had already devised a plan.

The wolf demon grunted and sat down beside Feng Qishi.

Over there.

As Mu Anxiao walked halfway, she suddenly sensed spiritual energy. Thus, she deliberately slowed her pace, turned her head slightly to look at the five black-clothed men and women holding trays beside her, cleared her throat, and deliberately asked, "What are you doing?" Her voice was very low.

Upon hearing this, the five, who had been looking down, directly raised their heads to look at Mu Anxiao. It was at this sight that Mu Anxiao's body stiffened, and she instinctively stopped. "You Xian, Yue Ci, why are you here?" she asked immediately.

Then, You Xian exclaimed excitedly, "You are Mu Anxiao."

"Mmm, weren't you in the palace? Why are you here again?" Mu Anxiao, forgetting everything else, was curious about You Xian's appearance.

"How did you know I went to the palace?" You Xian was surprised.

Mu Anxiao said, "I am Mu Xiao." She deliberately reminded him.

When You Xian heard this, his eyes widened. "The one who guaranteed me, it was you! Strange, why didn't I recognize you at the time? You... are you going to marry Ouyang Ye?"

"You should say less," Mu Anxiao said, looking at the other four who appeared more normal. "I'll count to three, and you run."

"Eh?" You Xian was startled.

Around them, the monsters, at the moment Mu Anxiao stopped, all turned their gazes towards her. It was in this moment that Mu Anxiao shook off all fear and decided to begin. As for those monsters, they also sensed something was wrong, took out their weapons from behind their backs, and waited for Mu Anxiao's next move.

"Okay." Yue Ci, not having time for further exchange with Mu Anxiao, glanced at You Xian and said, "You follow me later."

"What do you mean?" You Xian didn't understand their intentions at all.

"Just follow me," Yue Ci said helplessly.

Hearing this, You Xian nodded, then lowered his head to look at the chains binding his hands and feet, and his heart grew tense.

The other three also understood Mu Anxiao's meaning and remained silent.

Not far away, Ouyang Ye saw through it at a glance, then glanced at Mo Juan beside him and said in a low voice, "You were the one who placed those five immortals there."

"Ye, I..."

"I'll settle with you later, Xiao Yi, let's go." Ouyang Ye said, leading Xiao Yi and the others towards Mu Anxiao.

Just then, Mu Anxiao sensed Ouyang Ye's movement, so she stopped hiding anything. "Run towards the prison carriage," she said, quickly conjuring her soul sword, crackling as she severed the chains on their hands and feet. Then, after quickly counting down three, Yue Ci, without hesitation, led the other three immortals, throwing the trays into the air, conjuring their magical artifacts, scattering, and beginning to fight the monsters. The monsters also began their actions after this move.

The wedding scene was filled with chaos and fighting.

The prison carriage shook, Feng Qishi and the wolf demon stood up together, looking at each other. The wolf demon exclaimed, "Mu Anxiao is too reckless!"

"We can't waste any more time," Feng Qishi said, frowning. The chains on their hands and feet had broken.

The wolf demon gasped, "Amazing."

Jin Ye and the vine spirit also looked at Feng Qishi as if they had found hope.

Then, Feng Qishi waved his hand, and the prison carriage fell apart. "You go take those five to find the food monsters," he said to the wolf demon.

The wolf demon exclaimed, "Then what about you?"

"This is a matter between Ouyang Ye and me. You guys go." Feng Qishi knew... Ouyang Ye must have been holding a grudge against him for recommending Ye Yin. If not, he wouldn't have reached this point. Therefore, Feng Qishi decided to handle it personally.

"Then be careful."

"I know." Feng Qishi replied, and flew towards Mu Anxiao with his hands behind his back...

At the same time, Ouyang Ye had reached Mu Anxiao, who was holding her soul sword. "You are rebelling," he said, glaring at her.

Then, Mu Anxiao raised her hand and forcefully pulled off her phoenix coronet and veil, coldly snorting, "Yes, I am rebelling. So what?"

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill..."

"I have you to thank for this. If not for you, I would never have experienced how exhilarating being sinister feels. Ouyang Ye," Mu Anxiao interrupted, took a step back, raised her soul sword to point at Ouyang Ye, "Let us leave, and I'll let you go."
