The Wolf Army...
Not only in Great Xia, but in all surrounding kingdoms, and even across the globe, it enjoyed a fearsome reputation, with few daring to provoke it.
Bai Zihe, however, said without hesitation, "Ignore them, fly straight through."
This...
The pilot was a little intimidated.
But when they took off, Qinouff had already told him that on the fighter jet, everything was to be according to Bai Zihe's instructions. This was an order.
So, he gritted his teeth and did not change course.
"Whoosh..."
"Rumble—"
Not long after the fighter jet entered the Wolf Army's airspace.
Two fighter squadrons appeared, approaching from front and rear in a pincer formation.
The Bearman fighter pilot visibly flinched.
These were Wolf Army fighter jets!
"Sir..."
He stammered, asking, "What do we do now?"
This was Wolf Army territory, and he naturally dared not attack first. But if the Wolf Army attacked, they would surely face a fate of their planes destroyed and themselves killed.
Bai Zihe did not answer.
From the two fighter formations, ahead and behind, came shouts.
"Wolf King above!"
"We are the Northwest Corps First Squadron, Second Squadron of the Wolf Army's Air Defense Command!"
"Here to escort the Wolf King!"
The Bear Kingdom fighter pilot stared in astonishment.
So...
The person he was escorting was a legendary figure in Great Xia, the commander of the million-strong Wolf Army, the revered Wolf King!
No wonder Deputy Marshal Qinouff valued him so highly.
No wonder he dared to intrude into Wolf Army airspace.
It turned out he was the Wolf King, and it was not strange at all!
Even...
The fighter pilot felt he could boast about this for a year upon his return!
He had escorted the Wolf King of the million-strong Wolf Army!
With the escort of the Wolf Army fighters, there were naturally no further incidents along the way.
Two hours later, the fighter jet landed at a secret base belonging to the Wolf Army in the capital. Bai Zihe rushed out immediately.
The message from his Fifth Senior Sister arrived as expected.
His Seventh Senior Sister, to protect him, had agreed to marry the Crown Prince.
And today was the day they would be formally wed!
Crown Prince Zhuge Changge?
Bai Zihe's fury instantly ignited, and he rushed towards the princely manor with boundless rage.
The Princely Manor.
It was adorned with lanterns and festive decorations, a scene of lively celebration.
Zhuge Zhaonan, as a Prince of Great Xia, naturally wielded immense power, dominating the realm.
Therefore,
The marriage of Crown Prince Zhuge Changge to his bride had become a major sensation in the capital of Great Xia recently, causing half the city to buzz with excitement.
In the main hall.
Prince Zhuge Zhaonan and the head of the Yao family, Yao Cunxiao, were seated on opposite sides.
Below them.
Were Zhuge Changge and Yao Ke'er, the bridal couple.
At this moment...
Yao Ke'er wore a phoenix coronet and elaborate robes, her face veiled by a red gauze, making it impossible for outsiders to discern her thoughts.
Beside her.
Was the other protagonist, Zhuge Changge.
As the groom of the day, he was beaming with joy, a smile perpetually on his lips.
His gaze occasionally swept over Yao Ke'er, and Zhuge Changge's heart burned with anticipation, finally to have Yao Ke'er as his own, to make her his exclusive possession.
He could barely contain his excitement!
"The auspicious hour has arrived!"
Just then, the master of ceremonies announced loudly.
The entire hall instantly fell silent; the most crucial moment had come!
Yao Cunxiao glanced at the two, his heart filled with joy.
Now.
The Pill Tower had fallen.
The Medical Association had become the largest and strongest medical organization in the capital, and indeed in all of Great Xia, firmly controlled by Yao Ke'er.
And now, with a marriage alliance to the royal family...
The Yao family's fortunes were soaring, ushering in a brand new era!
Yao Cunxiao couldn't help but grasp Prince Zhuge Zhaonan's hand: "Prince Zhuge, from this day forward, we are in-laws!"
"I implore Your Highness to provide ample care!"
Zhuge Zhaonan couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Brother Yao, you speak too formally. We are family now, why speak as if we are two separate households?"
Yao Cunxiao nodded repeatedly: "Indeed, indeed!"
The situation was incredibly auspicious!
Amidst the joyous atmosphere, only Yao Ke'er's heart was dead within her.
Farewell, little junior brother.
In the next life, I will be your woman again...
Beneath the crimson gauze veil, two streams of tears silently fell.
But who knew?
Who cared?
If heaven had feelings, it too would grow old; a longing fulfilled turned to naught.
The final moment arrived.
The officiant cleared his throat and announced sonorously: "Two families unite in marriage, a contract is sealed in one hall, a blessed union forever, a perfect match."
"Behold this day, like blooming peach blossoms, auspicious for home and hearth, may future generations be numerous and prosperous, flourishing and vibrant."
"Now..."
"Crown Prince Zhuge Changge and the virtuous daughter of the Yao family, Yao Ke'er, are joyfully wed!"
"First bow to Heaven and Earth..."
"WHOOSH—"
As the words fell, a sharp whistling sound pierced through the hall.
A dagger flew in from outside and suddenly embedded itself in the center of the hall with a "thud"!
The unexpected turn of events startled everyone.
