Against The Gods
Chapter 2 – Loss of Control

Right now, she was wearing a red wedding robe in a room filled with a red cloth "double bliss ". Last night, his grandfather Xiao Lie and his aunt Xiao Lingxi personally arranged this work. His bedroom has been transformed into a wedding hall.

Suddenly, the door opened and a delicate figure hurriedly entered. Xiao Che immediately stood up and smiled, “Little Aunt, has grandfather returned?”

Xiao Lingxi had been Xiao Lie's daughter ever since she was middle-aged. Although she was Xiao Che's aunt, she was only fifteen this year and one year younger than Xiao Che. She was very young but her beauty was already very touching. His profound strength was at the early sixth level of the Basic Profound Realm but even though he was not on par with Xia Qingyue in comparison, it was not that bad as he was an important asset to the Xiao Clan and was highly respected. .

“Oh, Che'er, you finally wake up.”

A soft voice spread throughout the room as Xiao Lie walked in. Seeing that Xiao Che had already gotten out of bed with a normal complexion, Xiao Lie relaxed a little. Behind him follows his housekeeper Xiao Hong and the number one doctor in Floating Cloud City — Doctor Situ.

“It's good that you're awake and you don't look sick anymore but let Situ Doctor check on you. Today is your wedding day and we cannot make the slightest mistake. Doctor Situ, please continue. " Xiao Lie stepped aside during his speech.

Doctor Situ placed his medicine chest onto the table and sat down in front of Xiao Che, raising his hand to the finger at the pulse on Xiao Che's wrist. After a while, he released his hand from Xiao Che.

“Doctor Situ, how is Xiao Che? Is this serious?" Xiao Lingxi asked anxiously, with a frightening nervousness etched onto her face.

Although he did not speak, Xiao Lie looked solemn and had a fierce expression on his face…. How could he not realize that Xiao Che who had suddenly fainted was strange?

Doctor Situ's face slowly shone and smiled, “Elder Xiao, you don't need to worry, your grandson's physical condition is excellent. He did not have a severe illness or even the flu at all. Maybe your granddaughter fainted because she was so nervous and excited that her blood flowed profusely into her head. After all your granddaughter married the daughter of the Xia Clan, the number one beauty in Floating Cloud City. Hohoho. ”

Although Doctor Situ tried to hide his disgust, his words expressed regret. A talented woman marrying a useless person who is useless without a future is really hard for one to accept.

That's great news. Xiao Lie sighed in relief and nodded while thinking, “It must be difficult for Doctor Situ to pull over this early. Hong, escort Doctor Situ to the living room to rest. "

“It's okay,” replied Doctor Situ with a wave of his hand and raised his medicine box, “Since your grandson is fine, I'll go. Congratulations to Elder Xiao for meeting the prettiest daughter-in-law in Floating Cloud City. I don't know how many people should envy you right now. Ha ha's. Naked."

“You must remember to come to the wedding for a drink. Hong, escort Doctor Situ out. "

“Che'er, are you really okay? Do you feel unwell anywhere? ” Xiao Lie was still unsure after Doctor Situ left and scowled while thinking. When Xiao Che suddenly fainted, his temperature dropped and his vitality faded. It's not just because you're too excited. Looking at Xiao Che's current healthy condition, he did indeed look fine now but Xiao Lie still could not dispel the small doubts in his heart.

"I'm absolutely fine, Grandpa, you can be sure." Xiao Che said with an easy expression. His nose could not help but suddenly sour when he saw Xiao Lie and he saw a worried face with a head full of white hair.

The Xiao Clan was made up of five elders and although Xiao Lie was the Fifth Elder, he was the strongest in the clan. Five years ago he entered the border of the tenth level of the Spirit Profound Realm. He was now at the peak of the tenth level of the Spirit Profound Realm and had the chance to enter the True Profound Realm, a level many people dreamed of.

Xiao Lie was only fifty-five years old this year with the strength of the tenth level in the Profound Spirit Realm, but all of his hair was already bleached. Every time Xiao Che saw this head filled with white hair, his heart became bitter upon seeing it.

The reason why Xiao Lie had white hair since middle age was known to everyone living in Floating Cloud City. His only son, the father of Xiao Che, Xiao Ying was referred to as the number one genius in Floating Cloud City. At the age of seventeen, he entered the Nascent Profound Realm. At the age of twenty, he reached the fifth level of the Nascent Profound Realm. At the age of twenty-three he broke through the Nascent Profound Realm and entered the True Profound Realm, shocking everyone in Floating Cloud City. He became the pride of the Xiao Clan, as well as the pride and excitement of Xiao Lie. Almost everyone believed that when Xiao Ying became middle-aged, he would be the best qualified candidate to inherit the leadership of the Xiao Clan.

Unfortunately, perhaps because the god was jealous of the talented one, there was an assassination attempt on Xiao Ying's life just a month after Xiao Che was born. A few days earlier, Xiao Ying had also saved the life of the Xia Clan's daughter. After this rescue, Xiao Ying could only fend off the assassins with half his usual strength and draw his last breath. His wife's heart is broken by losing her love and immediately goes to see him. Xiao Lie's hair turned white overnight due to the heavy blow of losing his son. Nine months later, Xiao Lingxi was born. Her mother also suffered from the loss of her only son and died of depression a month later.

No one knew how Xiao Lie lived his life all those years after his son and wife died. His pale white hair contained immeasurable sadness, hatred and unspeakable sadness.

To this day, Xiao Lie still had not found his son's killer.

Then, he placed all his hopes and desires on Xiao Che. But the brutal truth about him being born with deep and broken veins entered and left his life suddenly like a bolt of lightning.

Even though Xiao Che was ignored by others and faced with the ridiculing eyes of others while growing up, he still felt lucky to have such a grandfather.

Looking at Xiao Lie's piercing white hair, Xiao Che's eyes gradually sharpened, even if it was just to comfort my grandfather, I would have to live with gusto! So what if my deep veins are damaged! I am the successor of a medical saint; as long as I find the right medicine, within three short weeks, my deep veins can return to full normal.

"You're fine, glad to hear it." Watching him, Xiao Lie was finally convinced. Glancing at the clear sky he spoke, “Che'er, the time is near. Go make your preparations while I go arrange the wedding team... Oh right, do you want to ride a horse or sit in the carriage? ”

If he was Xiao Che yesterday, he would have answered "the train". Even though he was the only grandson of an Elder, without that status, he could be called useless with the world difference between him and Xia Qingyue. On her bridal path to the Xia Clan, there was no doubt that she would suffer from many finger pointers and also have many looks of envy and regret. You can imagine what feelings will arise if you meet face to face with such negative emotions. Xiao Che laughed with a small smile, “Of course I ride a horse! You don't have to worry about my grandfather. Xia Qingque may be a noble, but she is already destined to be the daughter-in-law of our Xiao family. I'll openly marry her house with dignity and honor so that you don't lose face. "

There was a delay in Xiao Lie's expression, as he would not have expected his grandson to say such a thing. His face then smiled gently and he slowly nodded, "Good."

With just one word, his profound satisfaction came. Xiao Lie stepped out of the room and gently closed the door.

As soon as Xiao Lie left, Xiao Lingxi stood in front of Xiao Che and pursed her lips. Her face warped in unhappiness she spoke, “So you are really excited for this marriage and make me worry about you for nothing. You obviously have never met Xia Qingyue many times but you already like her ... Oh right, she is the number one beauty of our Floating Cloud City, huh! "

Xiao Che quickly waved his hands forward and backward, “How is it possible! Xia Qingyue was quite pretty but I think Little Aunt was prettier. If I had really fainted because of him, then I wouldn't know how many times I would have fainted in this life since Little Aunt had always accompanied me every day. "

“Hehe...” Xiao Lingxi's face immediately smiled sweetly while giggling, “You know what to say to make me happy. It was fine if Xiao Che fainted from rushing to marry her because Xia Qingyue was beautiful like her. The Xia Clan was also the richest clan in Floating Cloud City so there were quite a number of people who dreamed of marrying her. However, in the end, he would marry Xiao Che from my family. "

At this point, Xiao Lingxi put a proud expression on her face. Then his eyes became sad as his voice softened, "I feel today came so quickly ... Little Che is getting married ..."

“Pound-pound,” knock on the door followed by the voice of old housekeeper Xiao Hongcang, “Young Master, it is almost time to go and meet the bride.”

"Ah.... already?" Xiao Lingxi glanced at Xiao Che's clothes and suddenly looked anxious, "Uncle Hong, wait a little longer and we'll be out soon."

She walked in front of Xiao Che and a pair of soft hands began to quickly tidy up her wedding clothes, “This outfit is quite difficult to wear. Your clothes are a mess because of that. Stay quiet, I'll finish this soon. "

A pair of smooth hands as white as snow started working in a hurry. He flipped his collar back to the right position and tightened his belt back ... His actions flinched but he took it seriously and paid close attention to what he was doing. Xiao Che silently looked at her and his eyes gradually became foggy….

Today he was going to marry Xia Qingyue but he knew for sure that Xia Qingyue did not marry him because she sincerely loved him. If it wasn't for their father; the agreement Xiao Xing and Xia Hongyi had in that March, Xia Qingyue wouldn't even bother to look at him. The only people in this world who were kind to Xiao Che were his grandfather, Xiao Lie and his little aunt, Xiao Lingxi.

During his childhood, Xiao Lingxi clung to Xiao Che like candy. He followed her wherever she went and it was hard for her to let go. If he didn't see her for a while, he would cry loudly. However, when Xiao Che turned ten and it was confirmed that his deep veins were damaged, Lingxi seemed to grow overnight. He knew the consequences of deep vascular damage and then understood the concept of his identity as a "little aunt". It started its training regime in a profound way to protect the life of the weaker Xiao Che.

After twenty-four years of the "dream" of the Azure Cloud Continent, Xiao Che felt that his time here with Xiao Lingxi's kindness was as luxurious and precious.

Even though Xia Qingyue was going to be his wife, she would only be like the coldest moon in the sky; something that could only be seen but not touched.

If I marry a girl like Little Aunt, it would be perfect.

After completing the complicated movement of dressing Xiao Che up, Xiao Lingxi let out a sigh of relief. With a tiptoe, he raised his hand and ruffled his hair. With a gentle expression of affection imprinted clearly on her face, her pink lips slightly opened up like flower petals.

With a supernatural speed, Xiao Che instinctively tilted his head and pressed his mouth against Xiao Lingxi's beautiful pink lips….
