Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 1498 - Diviluna Eternalight

Chapter 1498 - Diviluna Eternalight

There was only one day left before the wedding. Tens of beautiful ladies in waiting were panicking outside the Dragonfang Springs.
"The goddess still hasn't allowed us to enter! What should we do?"
As they panicked, Li Yunxi, clad in snow-white armor that accentuated her figure, came in. She held a treasure chest and wore an expression of joy. "Move aside," she commanded.
The maidservants watched her enter.
"What’s that?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's part of the goddess's outfit tomorrow!"
"Could it be the bride price from the celestial orderians?"
Though they were all curious, none of them dared to get too close. They listened closely for anything within the quarters.
Li Yunxi entered the hall, only to be stunned. The girl before her was holding a moon-white blade, looking at her. She could feel her killing intent from her cold, white eyes. "Goddess, the sun emperor sent you the dowry. You’ll be the most glamorous person during the ceremony tomorrow. Please take a look," she said as she put the chest down.
"Leave," Qingyu said.
"That won't do. I have to put this on you today and make adjustments. Here’s His Solar Majesty's exalted blood. I also brought it along," Li Yunxi strictly said as she took out a vial with golden blood that had a trace of red. The dowry appeared to be a divine artifact. "Goddess, this is the most expensive dowry to ever be given, as well as the most beautiful wedding dress. It's the number one armor in all of Orderia, the grade-eight divine artifact Diviluna Eternalight. Its history goes back three million years. Nothing short of it would fit the grandest wedding ceremony ever to be held. It’s a perfect match for you... I'm sure you'll like it once you see it.
Qingyu immediately turned to leave, having not the slightest interest in the exalted blood.
"Goddess, do you not like Long Renshe?" Li Yunxi finally asked. By the time she did, Qingyu had already walked back into the hall. "The problem is that you're His Solar Majesty's daughter, the Ninemoon Goddess. Nobody other than Long Renshe would be a good match for you."
"Leave." It was the same reply.
"Goddess, I'm afraid I won't be able to comply today," Li Yunxi coldly said.
A third person appeared in the hall, completely covered in a bloody aura that seemingly turned the surroundings into a hellish environment the moment she appeared. It was like there were countless corpses on the ground. She was clad in a blood-red dress and had frizzled, unkempt hair. Her skin was purple and green and she looked unimaginably ugly, like a female wraith that had crawled out of the depths of hell, though she seemed to have forgotten about her horrifying looks and even her cold smile was filled to the brim with confidence.
She took the vial of golden blood from Li Yunxi and stretched her hand out toward Qingyu right as she was turning around, grabbing her by the neck and pressing her against a desk.
Qingyu widened her eyes at the sight of the nightmarish appearance, struggling to push the hand away to no avail. She was turning pale and couldn't even speak. The newcomer was none other than Li Wushuang. She smashed the cover of the vial and stuffed the blood into Qingyu's mouth, causing it to immediately assimilate. Only then did she loosen her grip. Then, with a hoarse, ugly voice, she said, "Be obedient and do what you're told. You'll be the most beautiful you'll ever be tomorrow. After that, you'll become like me. Treasure it while you can, girl."
She looked at Qingyu's bane-rings and smiled even harder. She was just like the sun emperor in how she forced her will on Qingyu with brute force. There was nothing Qingyu could do to resist; she could only accept her fate. Qingyu pressed her own hand down, glaring at Li Wushuang as the exalted blood permeated her body. Then the Diviluna Eternalight inside the chest resonated with her.
"You really lucked out. Even I wanted the Diviluna Eternalight. It's a perfect match for my Skymoon Holyfiend," Li Wushuang said. Those were grade-eight divine artifacts, one a refined blade and the other a set of armor that could even take the form of a wedding dress. It was the most beautiful divine artifact that had ever been crafted and had used the best divine ores available.
"I don't want it!" Qingyu said, to Li Wushuang's surprise.
"Haha, you truly are an interesting one. Why resist? Don't tell me that you have someone else you like," Li Wushuang said, but there was no reply.
"I hate love. It's the most disgusting thing in the universe. I can smell its stench on you. Tell me. Who's the one you love?!!" she grumbled as she dragged Qingyu along by her clothes and tossed her to the ground at the entrance.
The maidservants outside were shocked at the sight and scattered. Qingyu got up, gritting her teeth and coldly saying, "I do have someone I like. What's it to you?"
"Now that's huge news!" Li Wushuang gleefully said. She approached Qingyu so close that her eyeballs that looked like they were about to fall out almost touched her face. "It has nothing to do with me, but I'll tell you in advance that you have no choice but to accept fate's plans for you. There is nothing you can do on your own. You’re merely a pawn in someone else's game. The one you like will forever be in a different world from you!"
"Oh? Do you feel good about that?" Qingyu said with a mocking tone.
"Of course."
"You're a shallow, loveless person. That's why you're so happy when the love of others gets trampled and destroyed."
Li Wushuang widened her eyes, her teeth chattering. "Then... let's see who'll have the last laugh. Qingyu, you'll soon be just like me, got it? You’re exactly like I was when I was younger, from head to toe." She gripped her hands together so tight that they audibly snapped. She was feeling incredibly agitated.
"You're wrong. You're nothing like me at all. I’d rather die before I reach your point. Do you know what I'm saying? I'd rather die than become an ugly freak like you! And I'm not just talking about your outer appearance!" She pushed Li Wushuang aside and went back into the hall, leaving her standing there seething with rage, her eyes filled with deathly resentment.
