As soon as the ring of the King of the Peaceful Realms was taken out, a dazzling seven-colored light instantly illuminated the entire palace.

In that moment, everyone in the palace was astonished by this seven-colored light.

Instantly, the hall was filled with extreme shock.

Oh my god, this is actually the Godstone!

The Peaceful Realms are perpetually shrouded in darkness, where it's hard to see any light; only the legendary Godstone can bring light to this realm.

It's said that only those from the realm of gods own such a stone, but who'd have thought the King of the Peaceful Realms would possess such a precious item.

With the appearance of the Godstone ring, the atmosphere in the palace was once again ignited.

"I never thought the King would give such a precious Godstone to Zhao Xiaowen!"

"It's said that wearing this stone allows one to absorb True Qi without training," someone said enviously.

"What a pity! If the King of the Peaceful Realms took a fancy to me, that'd be great. With such treasures, maybe I could ascend to the realm of gods and leave this damned place."

The surrounding girls all wore expressions of envy, jealousy, and hatred, wishing they could pull Zhao Xiaowen down to take her place.

Listening to everyone's praises, the King of the Peaceful Realms had a smug smile on his lips.

That's exactly what he wanted; to win Zhao Xiaowen's heart, he had truly spent a fortune this time.

"Xiaowen, if you're willing to marry me, I will help you advance your cultivation, and together we'll ascend to the Immortal Realm."

Hearing the King's words, everyone was incredibly shocked.

The King was confident that under such temptation, Zhao Xiaowen would undoubtedly agree.

After all, ascending to the Immortal Realm is a temptation no one in the Peaceful Realms can refuse.

The King handed the Godstone ring to Zhao Xiaowen.

Looking at the dazzling ring, Zhao Xiaowen's face showed no sign of joy; her face was as pale as paper, with a heavy dash of despair.

Seeing Zhao Xiaowen remain unmoved by his heartfelt proposal, the King first was stunned, then his face turned cold.

He waved his hand, and a king sitting in front of Wu Feng quietly placed a knife to Wu Feng's neck.

Though far away, Zhao Xiaowen saw it clearly.

Zhao Xiaowen understood that if she refused, they would harm Wu Feng.

At this moment, her beautiful face became all the more grim. She gritted her teeth, and the figure of Lin Chen flashed in her mind.

"Lin Chen, I'm sorry, I can't be with you. If there's a next life, I'll be your woman..."

Zhao Xiaowen couldn't bear to watch Wu Feng die, so she had no choice.

Just as Zhao Xiaowen was about to accept the King's request, a beautiful song suddenly echoed through the palace.

"Thank you for your radiant smile, illuminating my sky, thank you for sharing your feelings, placing me in your heart. Sometimes at night it's a bit cold, you and I, born from the same warm soil, love is the brightest star, my life is beautiful because of it..."

The moving melody, elegant and pleasant, gently lingered in everyone's ears even though the sound wasn't loud.

The crowd looked towards the door, where a young man was singing and holding a bright red rose, walking towards Zhao Xiaowen.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the young man, Zhao Xiaowen's body shuddered, and tears finally welled up like a fountain.

"Lin Chen, you finally came!"

The King of the Peaceful Realms was in an uproar, everyone stared in amazement at the scene unfolding before them.

"Where did this kid come from?"

"Could this be another part of the wedding ceremony?"

"No, Zhao Xiaowen looks at this boy with a different kind of gaze!"

...

At this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed on Lin Chen, and many had eyes filled with pity.

Daring to cause trouble at the King's wedding, this kid is dead for sure.

Lin Chen paid no mind to the surrounding chatter and shocked stares; his eyes were solely on Zhao Xiaowen.

He sang a heartfelt song, his eyes filled with tenderness, slowly walking towards Zhao Xiaowen.

At this moment, the entire palace came alive.

"When you are surrounded by flowers, enjoying joy to the fullest, I bring the spring breeze to let you dance within. When you walk a rocky path, I will stay by your side... Among millions, someone understands me, you have the most precious corner."

After the song ended, Lin Chen lovingly handed the rose to Zhao Xiaowen: "Xiaowen, I'm sorry I'm late."

"My goodness, this kid must be here to steal the bride!"

"Daring to steal the bride at the King's wedding, this kid must be seeking death!"

Everyone's face was filled with disbelief; they couldn't believe anyone had the guts to steal the bride at the King's grand wedding.

In everyone's eyes, Lin Chen was either crazy or foolish.

The King of the Peaceful Realms is like a deity in the realm; he can decide who lives and who dies with a flick of his finger.

The King squinted his eyes slightly, soon guessing the identity of the opponent.

"Xiaowen, be with me, I will take you to rise to the Immortal Realm, enjoy eternal glory; with him, you will only fall into endless hell," the King of the Peaceful Realms said coldly.

Yet Zhao Xiaowen seemed not to hear the King's words; her trembling hand took Lin Chen's rose and threw herself into Lin Chen's arms.

She hugged Lin Chen tightly, like a child who found a beloved toy, clinging to him tightly, afraid he would slip away again.

Though she cried, a smile still hung on her face, radiating happiness.

He's here, he's truly come for me.

Countless days and nights of longing,

Endless tears,

Time and again of soulful yearning,

Finally brought back her beloved.

Zhao Xiaowen cried, laughed, and hit Lin Chen.

The scene was warm and touching, romantic yet heartbreaking.

The entire Peaceful Palace fell silent, with everyone staring at the two figures embracing on stage, stunned.

Many thought they must be dreaming; isn't Zhao Xiaowen crazy to give up the King for a lone spirit?

"This song 'The Most Precious Corner' is what we love to sing together at the karaoke, and you said I've never given you flowers before. This rose is the one I owe you," Lin Chen said softly.

"Boom!"

Seeing Zhao Xiaowen abandon the King's priceless Godstone ring to accept Lin Chen's rose, everyone was dumbfounded.

Considering the King is the ruler of the Peaceful Realms and this young man appears to be a wandering soul, the stark contrast is simply unbelievable.

Practically everyone believed this young man would meet a terrible fate, and rejecting the King surely meant Zhao Xiaowen's end would be even more tragic.

Looking at the embraced couple, a murderous intent grew stronger on the King's face.

Since gaining control of the Peaceful Realms, he had never been humiliated like this.

At his own wedding, another man had snatched away the bride.

This was a slap to his face, an unabashed affront.

"Damn it, I will cast you into endless hell, I will make sure you never reincarnate!"

The King's hatred brought a chilling killing intent that engulfed the entire palace in an instant.
