Chapter 358: The Wedding Fiasco—Tang Zhen Dies of Rage Again
At Clear Sky Clan, red lanterns and festive ribbons adorned every household. A red carpet, stretching over a kilometer, ran from the main wedding hall to the mountain gate of the Clear Sky Clan.
With each gentle breeze, the ribbons fluttered like a declaration to the heavens—celebrating the joyous occasion.
The female attendants of the Clear Sky Clan all dressed in red gowns, walking along the carpet with trays of pastries, fruits, and delicacies, smiling as they prepared. The disciples wore their cleanest, most pristine leather cloaks, and the clan brought out their finest aged wine.
As twilight fell, the always-gloomy Clear Sky Mountains were aglow with red lights. The lanterns shone with crimson candles.
Inside Clear Sky Fortress, guests from major clans sat on either side of the red carpet for Tang Hao's wedding. At the head, Tang Zhen beamed with pride. His son was destined to become a Title Douluo. Bibi Dong might have twin martial spirits, but she only cultivated one. The Death Spider Emperor had been left to waste. Without a Clear Sky Hammer, she'd cap out at best as a Title Douluo elder. Her job was to pass on her strong talents to her children, to support her husband and raise their heirs.
"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan offers three thousand-year Thunder Vine herbs!"
"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan offers a five-colored crystal!"
"Spirit Hall offers three thousand-year ginseng kings!"
The Blue Lightning representative was Yu Luomian, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan sent Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, and Spirit Hall's emissary was none other than Qian Xunji himself.
From the sky, Qian Xunji observed everything. Watching from above wasn't the same as experiencing it in person—the thrill was completely different.
For the first time, Tang Hao wore a luxurious black-and-gold wedding robe, crafted from the finest fabrics, and stood in the grand hall, beaming with anticipation for Bibi Dong's arrival. He greeted every guest with perfect etiquette.
"The bride has arrived!"
At that shout, the once-noisy hall fell into complete silence. All eyes turned to the red-robed bride entering with a red veil over her head, escorted by two maids.
Given the prestige of the Clear Sky Clan, no one dared scan the bride with spiritual power.
Qian Xunji, curious, spread his spiritual sense. Would Bibi Dong really show up to marry Tang Hao?
Soon, he sensed a woman in the back mountains of the Clear Sky Clan wearing the exact same wedding attire—it was Bibi Dong.
She held Yu Xiaogang's hand, dressed in a wedding gown, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks. Her face glowed with happiness and excitement. Yu Xiaogang wore formal Clear Sky attire but looked over his shoulder nervously. They were escaping together.
A romantic runaway on their wedding day. Who could compete with that? Not even Liu Erlong.
Yu Xiaogang had learned the truth about his past lives, but still hesitated. They were eloping during Tang Hao's wedding. If they were caught, the Clear Sky Clan's shame would be unbearable.
"Dong'er, is this really okay?"
Bibi Dong looked at him with love. "Don't worry, Xiaogang. Once we reach Sea God Island and I inherit the Sea God's power, the Clear Sky Clan will be irrelevant. I'll conquer the world and give it to you as a wedding gift. You'll be the happiest man in the world!"
Yu Xiaogang swallowed hard. The information was overwhelming, but he asked the question that haunted him.
"Dong'er… can becoming a god really cure my martial spirit defect?"
"Of course. Divine energy, Xiaogang, is beyond your imagination. In that other world, your spirit defect was cured. Our child's martial spirit was the Golden Holy Dragon—superior to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, my Death Spider Emperor, and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor. Our child inherited your spirit."
Excited and rejuvenated, Yu Xiaogang quickened his pace, following her out of the Clear Sky Mountains.

Main Hall of the Clear Sky Clan
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Second bow to the elders!"
"Third, bow to each other!"
With the rituals complete, it was time for the bride to be sent to the bridal chamber.
At that moment, the bride herself lifted her red veil—something only the groom was supposed to do.
She knew this could ruin the Clear Sky Clan's reputation. But the three rituals were done. She was Tang Hao's wife in name. In front of so many nobles, this was her only chance to make the marriage permanent.
Bibi Dong had handpicked this maid—vain, greedy, the type who thought she could win a CEO's heart by drinking milk tea or vandalizing a sports car. Now was her moment to shine.
When the veil lifted, the whole hall froze. Qian Xunji nearly burst out laughing.
Tang Hao's adoration turned into shock. "Ah Lü… why are you here? Where's Dong'er?"
The maid, Ah Lü, looked lovingly at Tang Hao. "I don't know where Lady Dong'er went. Can I call you Hao-ge? I'm your wife now."
She hoped the Clear Sky Clan would be too embarrassed to revoke the marriage. But instead, the elders snarled and demanded to know where Bibi Dong was.
Terrified, the maid confessed everything. Bibi Dong had given her the wedding dress, told her to wear the veil, and promised that after the ceremony, she'd be Tang Hao's bride.
Elopement.
That word exploded in everyone's minds. The hall turned deathly still.
The Clear Sky Clan's eyes went red with fury. Their elite scouts mobilized instantly to find Bibi Dong—even if they had to dig up the entire mountain.
"PFFT—"
At the head of the hall, Tang Zhen, gravely ill, gasped in rage. Blood spurted from his mouth. He tumbled from his throne and passed out cold.
