Chapter 333: 333: News Spreads, Sensation Among All Parties (First Update)
Among them, the media from M Country’s Hollywood were particularly notable.
In their reporting, they lavished nothing but the highest praise on Xue An.
Those unaware might even think it was a Huaxia media outlet.
In fact, only those in the know understood that during the Oscars ceremony, Xue An had stepped in to save everyone.
The goodwill he had earned from this was immense.
Although, due to the embargo by M Country’s intelligence agencies, they couldn’t speak plainly about it, saying a few kind words was still okay.
When the Shen Family heard the news, they were also greatly shaken.
After Xue An had returned directly to Beijiang from the City of Sin, Shen Nan had been despondent for a long time.
For this grand wedding, she insisted on returning to the country to attend.
Shen Kang naturally nodded in agreement.
And in the City of Sin.
Wen Sinan held the newspaper with an expression that changed unpredictably.
Sitting opposite her was none other than Griffin.
He and Wen Sinan sat face to face, and they appeared quite harmonious.
But such a scene would have been utterly impossible before.
However, the City of Sin had gradually shed those dark undertones.
Griffin’s gambling business was booming, earning a fortune each day, so naturally, he couldn’t be bothered with the petty dark deeds that made little money.
Wen Sinan had also led her many subordinates to open several hotels, and their business was thriving.
“My dear Wen Sinan, I’m planning to go to Huaxia right now, do you want to come with me?” Griffin asked with a smiling face.
The current Griffin dressed every day in traditional Chinese attire, trying his best to mimic the look of a Huaxian person.
In his own words, he wanted to wear the same clothes as a deity.
Because in Griffin’s eyes, Xue An was already on par with a creator god.
Wen Sinan remained silent for a while before shaking her head, “I’m not going!”
With that, she got up and left.
Watching her lonely retreating figure, Griffin shook his head and said, “To fall in love with a deity! Ah, emotions really are troublesome!”
However, the biggest reaction came from the intelligence agencies of various countries.
M Country.
When intelligence chief Quixy learned of the news that Xue An would soon marry, his body shivered with dread.
Could a single Xue An, who had already sent the world into chaos, now be joined by a woman in this affair?
So, he immediately made a phone call and yelled into the receiver, “I don’t care how you do it, but for this wedding, you must find out all the details for me. I need a high-resolution photograph of Xue An, and not another damned blur where you can’t even make out his face!”
“Yes!”
“Also, I want you to investigate thoroughly who Xue An’s wife is! I want all her details!”
“We can find that right now!”
Soon, An Yan’s information was delivered.
As Xue An was the number one person of interest in multiple countries, detailed information existed on everyone associated with him.
When Quixy saw An Yan’s identification photo, which revealed no clue about her age.
His eyes lit up, “This girl looks very kind, doesn’t she? This is a good start!”
After reviewing all the information, Quixy was pleased.
Oh God, have you finally decided to extend your divine favor to your subjects?
This girl wasn’t some demoness! And she appeared very kind, with no violent tendencies.
This was simply fantastic!
And in Tokyo, Country R.
Within a courtyard.
Many who were powerful magnates outside, were now all standing, their bodies bowed in silence.
For before them stood the Underground Empress of Tokyo, Takeuchi Kiyoko herself.
Takeuchi Kiyoko, with the Flowing Light sword in hand that the Tokyo underground powerhouses feared as the “Sword of the Divine,” swept her icy gaze over everyone present.
“I will be going to Huaxia to attend my master’s wedding. All of you, stay here and behave. Should there be any mishap, it’s possible my master might come to Tokyo again!” Takeuchi Kiyoko said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, all the so-called big shots broke out in cold sweats.
One Takeuchi Kiyoko was frightening enough.
If that god-like man also came, Tokyo would not be far from destruction.
“Yes, Lady Kiyoko, please rest assured, we will certainly stay in line!”
Lingnan.
The Yu Family!
The atmosphere in the Sword Display Pavilion was somewhat strange.
Family Head Yu Lang sighed deeply, “Well, we all know it’s impossible! With Mr. Xue’s awe-inspiring cultivation level, he must be a person with a will as firm as rock. Our wish for Yu Ran to get close to him is just a fool’s dream.”
Yu Ming nodded, “Father, about Mr. Xue’s grand wedding, our Yu family…”
Yu Lang said in a deep voice, “Prepare a generous gift and go as a group!”
Yu Ming was taken aback, then bowed his head and said, “Yes!”
Only Yu Ran sat silently aside, tears glistening in her eyes.
By evening, Yu Lang arrived at the Rain God Temple.
The priestess opened the temple door, and Yu Lang strolled in, then raised his head to look at the statue of the deity and softly asked, “Rain God, what do you plan to do for Xue An’s grand wedding?”
The voice sounded somewhat eerie in the empty hall.
But after a moment, a glint of golden light flickered above the shrine.
Yu Lang stepped forward to pick up a bamboo slip that appeared out of nowhere.
This was a Rain God slip, not very useful; at most, it could temporarily control the weather in the vicinity.
But the Rain God was not a deity with strong divine power, so this was already the best she could offer.
Yu Lang nodded, “I shall present it on behalf of the Rain God!”
After a moment of silence, he placed a few items on the shrine, “These are a few relics left by our ancestor. I didn’t bury them with his tomb; Rain God, keep them for yourself!”
Having said that, he turned and left.
The hall returned to its former tranquility.
After a long while, the relics left by the Lingnan Sword Immortal Yu Yuanyi shifted slightly, followed by the sound of a woman’s sobbing.
Media all around the world were basically stirred up.
Powerful factions from all over rushed to Beijiang.
The extent of Xue An’s strength had become a mystery.
But on the martial arts forums, someone declared that Xue An was already the number one person in terms of martial arts cultivation!
This statement actually received the majority’s agreement.
While the outside world was abuzz with the news of Xue An’s wedding.
Song Yi, who was stationed in Xiangjiang, also hurried over.
After meeting Xue An, he first expressed his congratulations, and then presented a Feng Shui Seal!
“Hehe, my lord, I don’t have much to offer. This Feng Shui Seal has been with me for many years and does have some effects. On the day of the wedding, place it by the bride’s side, and it shall ward off all evil.”
Hearing Song Yi’s words, Xue Lan, who was beside him, said with some disdain, “With my brother present, what demons or spirits would dare to come near?”
Xue Lan’s words left Song Yi speechless, forcing a sheepish smile.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Why did it take you so long to get here?”
Song Yi’s expression grew more serious, and he pulled Xue An aside to whisper, “I’ve been busy with an auction event in Xiangjiang these last few days!”
“An auction?”
“Yes! The auction is in a month. You could go and enjoy the spectacle then!”
“Is there anything interesting?” Xue An, of course, knew that Song Yi wouldn’t make a fuss over nothing.
If it were just an ordinary auction, it wouldn’t be worth such secrecy.
“It’s not clear yet, but the auction has already alarmed a few reclusive sorcerers from Southeast Asia, and it’s said that even the rarely-seen insect-gu practitioners have appeared!”
Xue An nodded, “That’s fine. After marrying An Yan, it will be time for our honeymoon trip. We’ll swing by and have a look then!”
