The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

Chapter 1481 - 1480: Xiao Xue Is Dead

Tang Rao had no experience getting married, and Wang Han was equally clueless. With their faces covered, the two of them looked at each other, unsure of what to do, hands spread out in bewilderment."As the groom, it's customary for you to carry the bride and mount the Nine-Ding Snow Beast. But it's all up to you whether to follow tradition or not."

It was Hua Wuque who hinted to Tang Rao about the timing.

"Brother Wuque is right. Although our disciple is quite unusual, the proper etiquettes must be followed. The tradition of carrying the bride onto the Nine-Ding Snow Beast cannot be abolished!"

Granny Hua, who joined in the fun, echoed the sentiment. Although she had never been married, even if she hadn't tasted pork, she knew how pigs ran.

Having seen it often, she naturally understood.

"I'm afraid if I try to carry her out, she won't want me to. It's not that simple to take a wife home nowadays, is it?"

Tang Rao deliberately said these words for Wang Han to hear. Wang Han was inevitably reserved; she didn't wish to be carried out by Tang Rao. Hoping Tang Rao didn't understand the traditions, she thought she could slip by and walk out herself. With Granny Hua's hints, some things were awkward to say directly in front of Tang Rao and his elders.

"This girl strictly adheres to ancestral traditions."

Wang Han exhaled evenly, calming her emotions. She dared not imagine if Tang Rao held her in his arms, whether she might reflexively punch him away.

"Tang Rao, the lady has already spoken. Why are you still dawdling? Why not take the initiative?"

Outside the house, more and more people gathered, peering through the windows at the bride. Unless Tang Rao wanted to make a spectacle, his best option was to promptly carry Wang Han back to the Tang Mansion.

"Quick, quickly hold the new bride."

"Look, the bride's red cover!"

People joining the fray shouted excitedly. Tang Rao steeled his heart, covered Wang Han's head, and like an overbearing president, scooped her up in his arms.

Wang Han instinctively tried to cover her chest, but due to her abrupt movements, Tang Rao staggered, nearly falling.

"If you move any more and we fall, the embarrassed one will be you!"

Holding Wang Han, Tang Rao whispered in her ear.

His voice was light and warm, like a sudden gust of hot air that caught Wang Han off guard.

She didn't dare move recklessly. If she moved and fell to the ground, as Tang Rao warned, the disgrace would be hers as a woman.

Through the red veil, Wang Han gently brushed her hair, finally calming her anxious heart.

Today, the Nine-Ding Snow Beast was restless. Tang Rao was preoccupied with attending to Wang Han but overlooked the hurt expression in Nine-Ding Snow Beast's eyes.

"Aowoooo!"

Sitting on the Nine-Ding Snow Beast's back, a bright red flower tied to its horn matched perfectly with the color of Wang Han's wedding dress.

"Xiao Xue?"

Both Tang Rao and Wang Han were seated on the Nine-Ding Snow Beast, yet the beast remained motionless despite Tang Rao's reminder. It seemed oblivious and stayed put.

"Xiao Xue, are you feeling unwell?"

Tang Rao excelled in diagnosing issues through observation, but that applied to people. He couldn't discern the problem with a Divine Beast, as it wasn't a mere simple creature.

"Aowoooo!"

Its long call remained unchanged, and the Nine-Ding Snow Beast still didn't move.

"Little Fire Ginseng, find out what's wrong as quickly as possible!"

The Nine-Ding Snow Beast was silent, thinking Tang Rao was powerless.

With so many people watching Tang Rao's wedding, inevitably Wang Han didn't cause trouble. Yet, the Nine-Ding Snow Beast suddenly presented an unexpected issue.

Little Fire Ginseng ran around the Nine-Ding Snow Beast and quickly pinpointed the issue.

"It's been poisoned. Its limbs are weak, unable to stand, and it can't communicate with its master."

Little Fire Ginseng was panting; Tang Rao never doubted its words.

If Little Fire Ginseng claimed the Nine-Ding Snow Beast was poisoned, then it was likely indeed poisoned.

"Who?"

The chilling voice from Hell Yama wasn't as icy as Tang Rao's. Just hearing Tang Rao's words seemed to inflict damage on people's ears.

"I only know where the issue lies. As for who did it, that's beyond my ability."

Little Fire Ginseng apologetically replied.

This was the maximum effort it could exert. If it didn't hurry away, inevitable repercussions might affect Little Fire Ginseng.

Poisoned?

Tang Rao contemplated this keyword repeatedly.

Suddenly, he remembered he had an expert in poison by his side. On such a joyous day, Tang Rao couldn't occupy himself with poison matters. Granny Hua was skilled and knowledgeable, an expert with toxins. With these three qualities, Tang Rao felt Granny Hua was the best choice to examine the Nine-Ding Snow Beast.

"Master, the Nine-Ding Snow Beast has been poisoned. Please, could you take a look at its condition?"

Tang Rao openly called to Granny Hua without using sound transmission, inviting her to come forward.

Even Wang Han found it incredible. Based on past experiences, on a joyous wedding day, even if a mishap occurred, it would be resolved discreetly, not openly announcing to the world that his Divine Beast had issues and couldn't continue escorting the bride!

Understanding the severity of the situation, Granny Hua quickly moved from the back of the bridal procession to the front. There were onlookers, but regardless of their status, she shoved them aside.

She made an incision on the Nine-Ding Snow Beast, letting out fresh blood. Unexpectedly, the originally green blood turned blacker than ink.

The foul smell of the blood wafted out, and after sniffing it, Granny Hua was clear on the Nine-Ding Snow Beast's condition.

"You can abandon it now; the blood is foul and black. It's been poisoned recently, and its internal organs are beyond cure, even a great deity can't save it."

During Granny Hua's declaration, Tang Rao witnesses tears rolling down the Nine-Ding Snow Beast's eyes.

In its lifetime, it followed its master from the Land of Immortals to the Divine Realm, from when Tang Rao was as insignificant as dust to now holding a place of significance. What it accompanied was not just Tang Rao but the new era Tang Rao led it through.

As a Divine Beast, it possessed emotions and intelligence. It firmly believed Tang Rao had a promising future, believed he would become a legend in the Divine Realm, and considered following him throughout life a honor. It wished to see Tang Rao reach the pinnacle, but sadly, as Granny Hua stated, it would never witness that day.

The person who poisoned the Nine-Ding Snow Beast anticipated that the beast would reveal the truth to Tang Rao.
