Chapter 140 Tang Yue's "Clash"
Zhong Ming felt a sudden weight on his body, the terrifying pressure almost crushing him. He couldn't help but want to kneel down, but after bending his legs slightly, his thighs suddenly exerted force, his bones creaking under the pressure, and his spine was enduring unprecedented stress.
My reputation doesn't matter. Qingxi Town is gone, not a single person is left. The town was physically wiped out by the Shuanglong River. But today, I am here to represent the Yue family's reputation.
Dragon vein, you've absorbed so much of my spiritual energy, give it your all!
Zhong Ming lifted the wooden stairs upwards with all his might, and then realized that the pressure didn't seem so great.
Looking again, Yue Kaishan, who was walking in front, had his legs deeply embedded in the ground. He did not bend his knees at all and stood firmly in place.
Everyone was enraged. What the Tang family saw as a small activity to uphold their family's dignity was seen as an insult by the Yue family.
Don't forget, the rows of wine bottles, the heavy carriages, and the maids jumping around are practically a whole set of tricks to make things difficult for them.
We paved the way with spirit stones, gold, and spirit fruits. What did you give in return? A few lines of lyrics?
Anger was rising, but Yue Xingtian's superior held his arm tightly.
"Calm down."
"Dispose of them as you see them."
This wedding wasn't something they could decide on their own.
Yue Xingtian snorted coldly and gestured for the people behind him to come up. He told them not to hold back and to throw everything they had prepared at them today.
One by one, bright red spheres the size of heads were taken out by a group of people, who glared angrily at the maids jumping up and down the wooden stairs and the small room on the second floor.
"Three, two, one, throw!"
"Time to collect red envelopes!"
One after another, large red balls were hurled at the maids. The girls had never seen anything like this before and dodged in droves. After one wave, their almond-shaped eyes widened, and they glared angrily at the Yue family members.
Just as their supervisor was about to say something, a series of huge explosions came from behind.
Countless red envelopes were scattered all over the Tang family mansion, causing immediate chaos among the maids.
Some girls were startled by the explosion, their movements became distorted, and they jumped down the stairs. Other girls fared better, but their singing became off-key and their voices cracked. The worst off was the head maid, who originally appeared ethereal and graceful, waving her crimson sleeves. Her agile and elegant aerial dance made her the focus of the entire audience. But by sheer coincidence, a red envelope was blown by the blast wave to where she was about to land.
My foot slipped, and I did a 360-degree waltz on the spot.
Her experience allowed her to make timely adjustments to the dance, preventing a bigger mistake from occurring. However, once the heavy kick went astray, it was not easy to stop the force.
She clearly heard a click, and her face froze.
Next, she performed a graceful whip-whirling dance on one foot.
.....
The building was in complete chaos, with violent explosions and scattered red paper scraps leaving the Tang family's senior elders in a sorry state.
"Chieftain, this was absolutely intentional!" An old man with a white beard trembled with anger, his beard stained with red scraps of paper.
"That's right, clan leader, should we retaliate? I have some powerful 'fireworks' here, would you like some...?"
"Take it back? Are you as generous as them?" The Tang family patriarch shouted, and the others shrank back, not daring to speak. The old patriarch rubbed the red envelope in his hand, slowly opened one, and said in a deep voice, "What a generous gesture."
Inside the red envelope wasn't a banknote, nor any blessing quote, but a damn land deed!
The land deeds for an entire street were stuffed into a red sphere and exploded out.
The old clan chief waved the land deed for the Nanhe Pastry Shop in his hand and said with a smile, "The old rule is that whoever finds it owns it. This pastry shop is mine now. Old folks, after you've picked it up, go out and chat with the person in charge. As for the boudoir, just follow the rules."
Upon hearing that it was a land deed, the old men abandoned all shame and bent down to pick it up. They moved with incredible speed, and from a distance, they looked like a group of young men.
The Tang family patriarch wasn't in a hurry. He believed in reciprocity. The dowry they prepared was truly magnificent, stretching for miles from the southernmost mansion to the Yue family ancestral home in the north. The main street running through Yuejia Town might not even be able to accommodate their more than four hundred horse-drawn carriages.
Soon, the wooden staircase led to the second-floor balcony, and a group of old men jumped down from both sides to chat with the Yue family elders.
Zhong Ming put down the wooden stairs. Even though the thing was placed on his tortoise shell, his shoulders were now sore, as if they had been crushed.
"Brother Cuihong, are you alright?"
"Of course I'm fine. Shall we follow them?"
Now, Yue Xingtian has stepped onto the red carpet staircase and is heading upwards.
"Of course, we also have to help break down the door."
Upon reaching the second-floor entrance, there was a small living room inside. Passing through the living room led to the boudoir, but the living room door was tightly blocked. According to custom, red envelopes, each larger than the last, had to be slipped through the crack in the door three times before the door could be opened.
The person blocking the door was a middle-aged man. According to custom, he should be the bride's cousin or older cousin, but the generational hierarchy in large families is so chaotic. This middle-aged man was old enough to be the bride's father, but he was actually her cousin.
"My little sister is born beautiful and charming, longing for a lover, breaking down the threshold, many talented men are there, gold and silver are displayed, and we meet often."
The man blocked the doorway tightly and kicked back the red envelope that had been stuffed through the crack in the door.
You told me to deliver the toilet, you told me to deliver the toilet!
During the land grabbing segment, he successfully snatched a red envelope from the "very old" elderly people. Upon opening it, he found it was the land deed for a public dry toilet on the street.
He was furious.
The person who gave the red envelope was dumbfounded. The first red envelope was returned? Did they think it wasn't big enough? No way, it contained the deed to the most profitable gold and silver shop!
Try using a thicker one.
This time it's not a land deed, it's a trade permit. Certain special materials require trade permits to be bought and sold, such as the satiating grass that Zhong Ming obtained earlier. Although these things are not as valuable as land deeds, they are plentiful and feel thick to the touch.
You slip a red envelope in, and the recipient tries to return it.
While the best man was still in a daze, Yue Xingtian stepped on the red envelope that was halfway back to him.
"Cousin, this."
Yue Xingtian didn't say anything, patted his cousin on the shoulder to make him step back, and then kicked the red envelope in.
This kick carried a terrifyingly skillful force; it struck the opponent's ankle immediately, sending the person inside sprawling face-first into the dirt.
"My lady, my lady, open the door quickly! Junxian is requesting an audience, but it is difficult to see him."
.....
After three tugs, the person inside looked at the door lock and then at the fan-sized red envelope in their hand (the width had been increased, since the gap in the door was only so big; if it were thicker, it wouldn't fit).
After hesitating for a moment, should I ask for another round?
The Yue Xingtian outside doesn't have such a good temper.
"Open up the mountain, pull up the cannon, and where's that firework the size of a water tank? Stuff it in, let's make the second floor lively!" As soon as he finished speaking, a storm arose, and the sounds of countless machines running and heavy objects being dragged mingled together. Several people were panting heavily, as if their sweat and heat would blow into the building at any moment.
Upon hearing this, the person inside immediately unlocked the door.
"Welcome, talented young man from the Yue family..."
When the door opened, he was dumbfounded. There were no cannons or fireworks, just one person and one mouth.
The Yue family had a member skilled in ventriloquism, and one of them served in the army.
