Chapter 1090: I Want To Back Out of the Wedding!

“You must be tired of living!”

She Fei had used the voice transmission, but Jiang Yi responded by shouting. Jiang Yi’s words were ringing in everyone’s ears. This caused She Fei to not know where to hide his face. The Demigod aura in his body surged with wrath. He shouted, “Rascal, do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you!”

“Idiot!”

Jiang Yi laughed. Before he could say anything, Yin Ruobing’s eyes widened. She looked like a lioness whose tail had just been trampled upon. “She Fei, Great Young Master She, you’re really daring! Do you think you can kill anyone you want now that you’re a Demigod? Why don’t you kill Ruobing as well?”

Now that Yin Ruobing had stepped up, Yin Feihuang had no choice but to get to his feet. His expression was dark as he said, “She Fei, play only if you can afford to lose. If you can’t, then don’t play next time!”

Jiang Yi was Li Tian on the surface. Today was Yin Feihuang’s birthday banquet. Jiang Yi had not done anything wrong. It was She Fei who had lost a bet and who threatened to use violence against others. The Yin Clan was not one to be bullied. Of course, they would not let She Fei trample all over them.

“Alright, alright.”

Zhan Tianlei tried to play the mediator. “She Fei, you’ve had a lot to drink. Go back to your room and rest. If you continue to kick up a fuss, Lady Chan would be angry for sure…”

“Hmph!”

She Fei tutted. Naturally, he did not dare to continue making a fuss. If he did, not only would he be angering the Yin Clan, but he would also be causing Yi Chan to hate him even more than she probably already did. Then, he would really have no way to turn back. Yi Chan was not like Yin Ruobing. The Buddha Thearch loved this granddaughter a lot. If Yi Chan did not give the nod, nobody would be able to marry her.

“Let’s go!”

Yin Ruobing glared mockingly at She Fei and then led Jiang Yi out of the hall and into her own Heaven Fate canopy. The moment they entered the second level, Yin Ruobing jeered, “With this kind of personality, She Fei intends to marry Big Sister Chan. He can dream on.”

Jiang Yi did not bother about anything else around him. He sat down and rubbed his own temples. His head was hurting. Something had really happened at this stupid banquet. She Fei must hate him to the core. If he gave She Fei the chance to get on the Mystic Divine Mountain, the latter would kill him for sure.

She Fei was no longer the same as he was before. Ever since he became a Demigod, his powers increased tenfold. Jiang Yi did not have the power of the star sphere and had no way of activating the Smelting Divine Furnace. He was not a Demigod’s match for sure.

However, given She Fei’s personality, he probably already hated Jiang Yi from the moment they met.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes to take a rest. He did not want to think anymore. He only had seven days left to come up with a new song that could incorporate the Massacre Intent. If he managed to do it, he would not have to be afraid of failing thoroughly if She Fei really did come after him.

Jiang Yi opened his eyes and saw Yin Ruobing sitting across from him, staring at him. He quickly averted his gaze. This young lady’s incomparable beauty was causing his heart to race.

“Jiang Yi, why are you so amazing?”

Yin Ruobing paused and raised her eyebrows. Her eyelashes were trembling and she looked extremely curious. “Your talent is out of this world. It’s one thing to have extraordinary fighting powers. You know how to draw, play music, and now, you even know zen. What do you not know?”

“I don’t know a lot of things.”

Jiang Yi replied bashfully. “You saw it yourself. I only have two eyes and one nose. I’m a very ordinary person. You would not believe it even if I told you. Before I turned sixteen, other people from my clan thought that I was trash. I grew up being bullied every single day. In those days, I would often ask myself why I was so useless, and why I did not know how to do anything.”

“Uh…”

Yin Ruobing blinked suspiciously. Confused, she said, “That’s not true. You’re so powerful. How could you be trash when you were young? You may have come from a small continent, but you must be the cream of the crop over there. Jiang Yi, would you tell me about your continent?”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly. Yin Ruobing’s words caused him to reminisce about his past. He could not bear to let Yin Ruobing down so he pondered for a long while before saying, “I was born in a continent called the Stellarsky Continent. My father was the top martial artist in the continent, but I did not know of his existence before I turned sixteen. My mother was called Yi Piaopiao. Today, I don’t know where she is or whether she’s even alive. From a young age, my dantian had been sealed. I only had one sister to depend on…”

Jiang Yi’s memory box was unlocked by Yin Ruobing’s question. He felt like Yin Ruobing already knew him inside out and like he could trust her completely. There was no need to try and hide anything from her.

He told her about everything from Skyplume City. Of course, he left out the parts about Su Ruoxue. It was not wise to tell a woman about another woman. However, he did not try to hide stories involving people like the Demon Empress and Xiao Fei.

Jiang Yi’s story was long. He spent about two hours just talking about the Stellarsky Continent alone. When he reached the part where he left the Stellarsky Continent and barged into the Desolate East Sea, he paused. Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, he said, “I think you know everything that happened after that. I broke into the Desolate East Sea, cut across the Phoenix Cry Continent, and arrived at the Pegasus Continent. I entered the Mystic Divine Palace…”

“En-En!”

Yin Ruobing nodded. She was still staring at Jiang Yi intently. “Jiang Yi, you’re really pitiful. You’ve suffered so much from such a young age. Compared to you, I feel like a bee that’s spent its entire life in the hive. I have been living a blessed life, but I never knew it. Of course… compared to your life, mine is boring and uninteresting. From a young age, I was an obedient girl. My clan fed me with many philosophies, rules, and etiquette. Wherever I went, I had people following me. We were like little birds stuck in a cage. I was never allowed to fly freely in the sky. This is a kind of blessing, but it is also quite sad!”

“You are wrong!”

Jiang Yi interrupted Ruobing on seeing the twinkle in her eyes dampening. He said, “Only you have the right to control yourself! If you want freedom, there’s no cage that can contain you. Your heart is being held captive by yourself. You don’t dare to break out of your cage and soar. You don’t dare to go against your clan’s wishes. That’s why you’re being held captive!”

“Is it so?”

Yin Ruobing thought about this for a while and lowered her head. Her beautiful eyebrows scrunched up together. It caused Jiang Yi’s heart to hurt, watching her this way. She remained silent for a few minutes. Suddenly, she plucked up the courage and looked up at Jiang Yi. “Jiang Yi, you’re right; but if I want to break out of this cage, many people will get hurt. I will hurt the people who are closest to me. I’ve thought about escaping this cage countless times, but I don’t have the heart to do that to them…”

“So you have no choice but to hurt yourself.”

Jiang Yi laughed bitterly and looked into his own teacup. In a low voice, he said, “Life is like this. You either hurt others, or you hurt yourself! It’s all up to what you want to achieve. Do you want to live for yourself or for others? Do you want to carry on this way for the rest of your life? Or do you want to fight for your own freedom and happiness? Ai… let’s not talk about this anymore. I haven’t figured these things out for myself either. There are too many burdens we have to carry in life. We can’t cut them off, or we will create even more trouble for ourselves. Perhaps even divinities have no hope of living a life of no burdens and complete freedom.”

“Do I want to live for myself or for others?”

On hearing this, Yin Ruobing suddenly jumped. She did not hear anything that Jiang Yi was saying after that. Her eyes lit up. It was filled with conflict.

Ten full minutes passed before she gritted her teeth and turned to Jiang Yi once again. “Jiang Yi, I’ve made up my mind! I want to live for myself. I want to break out of this cage. I don’t want to marry Zhan Tianlei. I want to… back out of the wedding!”
