Beautiful Prisoner [Completed]

Prophency

“Are you ready?” Wuxian glance towards Jiang Cheng. Both are wearing black attire from top to bottom. Not their usual attire. More like bandit attire. Even their hair is tied into a high-bun with no hair accessories. Wuxian passes a silver half mask to Jiang Cheng, who reluctantly grab it.

“Are you sure want to do this? Ma and Pa will be furious if they know this. How about lan-er gongzi? He for sure will be disappointed in you” Jiang Cheng questioned Wuxian for hundredth times. He sounds annoy and defeated at the same time.

Wuxian had come out with an absurd secret mission, which Jiang Cheng tried to reason multiple times for him to drop the mission. However, Wuxian being Wuxian, he was adamant to carry out the mission, leaving Jiang Cheng with no choice but to join the mission, so he can make sure nothing worse than it should, will happen. Wise people did say, if you can’t stop them, join them.

Wuxian expression falls into contemplation. He also doesn’t want to do this,, but he had to. This mission is important that they have to be careful and keep their identity hidden.

“You already know, Ah Cheng, I have to do this. For a better future, I will be glad to take the risk” Wuxian reaffirm seriously, his eyes lit with determination and eyebrows furrow. Showing the seriousness of this mission. The air became intense and Jiang Cheng huff in defeat.

“So, we will kidnap the shaman when they pass Yunmeng forest, and threaten her to fasten your wedding date. For a better future as you claim,” Jiang Cheng restated their mission aloud in a tired voice. Still sound ridiculous if someone asks him.

Wuxian approach Cheng with a somber face and put both his hand on Cheng shoulder

“Yes. We have to take this risk to build a better place of world cultivation,” Wuxian said with his stoned-face and Jiang Cheng eyes twitch at his brother's act. Who is so i***t to believe on that?

“Drop the act already! What is the relation between world cultivators with you being pervert, that can’t even wait for a second to being united with lan-er gongzi” Jiang Cheng grit his teeth.

“aiya..You caught me already” Wuxian faked his innocent surprise.

“What you take me for?!!” Cheng snapped, yelling in frustration.

“Yeah. Yeah…now, now. Calm down, Cheng-ah, we have a shaman to kidnap and a wedding to hold. Let’s go” Wuxian excitedly exclaim, putting his mask to hide his identity and sneaking out with Jiang Cheng. At this point, Jiang Cheng already give up reasoning with his brother. There is no logic for Wuxian when it comes to Lan Wanji.

“Tomorrow?” Lan Qiren almost screaming after listening to the shaman predicate in finding a suitable date for his nephew's wedding. Clearing his throat, Lan Qiren resumes his calm facade despite the inner storm within himself. Last week he had received a red scroll from Jiang Wuxian which they accept with honor. After two days of journey, their entourage arrive at Yunmeng and today supposed to be the day they decided the marriage date. He was happy that Lan Wanji got himself a great cultivator soul mate but this is far too soon.

Unlike Lan Qiren, Jiang Feng Mian glance knowingly at his son and releases a deep sigh. The shaman observing the hall with quivering eyes and when her eyes landed on Wuxian, the shaman gulp anxiously before her slender finger, rushing to open the card on the table. Seeing the first card, the shaman's eyes widen in surprise and, without wasting time, she opens the second card. The picture in second card make she chuckled in amused, forgetting the fact Wuxian scrutiny eyes on her. The shaman beam excitedly, hand reaching to reveal the last and third card. Her grin getting wider.

“Gongzi!” The shaman excitedly calling the audience attention. All eyes on her, curious about her shifted demeanor. If earlier, the shaman seems on guard, anxious, then now she looks elevated.

“Gongzi, tomorrow is a great day. No. it’s an extraordinary day that comes once in ten years. All these pictures are showing an excellent bless and predicate. My xiefu once said, it is almost impossible to get this formation unless the Moon goddess specially chosen the date by herself. The union of two soul mates under bless of Moon Goddess will bring a prominent leader that unites five kingdoms into alive,” The shaman announces the prediction with high enthusiasm. The audience was awe-struck by the news. Elders generation, Jiang Feng Mian and Lan Qiren glance at each other because they had heard about it before. Nodding to each other, they knew what it means by “bring a prominent leader that unites five kingdoms into alive” and they were smiling happily over prophesy. Wanji is chosen one

Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng lean in to whisper on Jiang Wuxian ear “wow! The shaman act is superb, even I almost fall for it”. Wuxian nod his head in agreement, astonished by how believable the shaman sound. Did they scared her too much last night? Little did they know, the shaman isn’t acting but revealing the truth prophesy that being awaited by many people.

Finally, Twin Jade of Gusu arrives at Yunmeng Harbor. They were late by a day. The Twin Jade originally move with Lan Qiren entourage; however, they got hold in Yiling when folk ask their help to cleanse the Lake of Mound from water ghost. After a long discussion, Lan Qiren thinks Lan Xichen and Lan Wanji were enough for the mission and retreat with other entourage to Yunmeng.

Xichen and Wanji striding into Lotus Pier Mansion, they notice the entire city full of red decoration and folk are celebrating, drowning in festive mood. Wanji silently eyeing the situation with curiosity. Is there any good thing to happen? Are they celebrating something? What makes them so hype? His mind is full of question and based on Xichen wandering gaze, he knew his brother also clueless as him.

They were standing shock-still in front Lotus Pier mansion. Full of red decoration and the gate was open, welcoming everyone to join the event. Wanji and Xichen look at each other confused.

“Let’s get inside, wangji-ah” Xichen murmuring under his breath, smile reassuringly towards his little brother. Eyes sparkled with anticipation. Wanji reciprocates with a small smile before walking aside Xichen.

The Twin Jade strode into one of many rooms, searching for their uncle, when suddenly a bunch of rose petals fall from the ceiling, raining on Wanji. The fragrant of rose fills his nostril. Wanji was taken aback by the event and lift his head towards the ceiling. His gaze settling on Jiang Wuxian sat crossing leg on wooden roof bars with his infamous lopsided grin plaster on his handsome face. Jumping down and land in front of Twin Jade of Gusu.

"Lan gongzi, lan-er gongzi" Wuxian greets them through zuxia. His eyes brighten up in Wanji' presence. Blatantly admiring the face that he had not seen for a week or more. Both engaging in staring session as they miss each other, leaving Xichen in an awkward situation.

"ehem, Jiang gongzi, is there any special event for today? The city and here seems so lively" Xichen can't content his curiosity anymore. Upon the query, Wuxian look at Xichen for a second with a tender smile before shifting his gaze back into Wanji. He can see Wanji questioning eyes on him, apparently seeking for the same answer as Xichen .

Smirking, Wuxian takes out a piece of translucent red cloth, that commonly used to cover a bride's face during the wedding ceremony. Wuxian purposely approaching Wanji without breaking the eye contact. Sensing Wuxian getting closer, Wanji felt his stomach knotting, ear tips and cheeks turn crimson. In habit, Wanji step back and hides behind Xichen taller figure. Wuxian gaze can be overwhelmed for him to handle.

Wuxian bemusedly chuckle, observing Wanji being cautious around him.

"May I?" Wuxian politely asking permission from Xichen. Xichen lips turn into a fond smile before trying to move aside, but Wanji fist his robe, subtly sign him to stay still. Wuxian peek on Wanji emotionless face yet red cheeks from Xichen shoulder. Xichen who caught in the middle of them, observing the couple interaction with pure interest.

“is there any special event today?" Wanji demanded the answer. His voice is low and monotone with a hint of interesting.

"Please pardon me, lan gongzi" Wuxian apologizes to Xichen instead of answering Wanji' question. Both of Lan, stood up confused upon the response. Wuxian smile devilishly before using a swift step to stand behind Wanji, caught both Lan off guard. Wuxian grab Wanji arm to make the latter turn around, facing him. Pulling the youngest Gusu closer to him by the waist. Wanji palm rest on Wuxian chest, slightly push the man, eyes widen in surprise, meet with Wuxian delight gaze. Wuxian doer eyes, wandering on Wanji features before landing on the moist lips that open a jar apart. Wuxian put the earlier red transparent veil over Wanji head. Xichen tilt his head, trying to decipher Wuxian' gesture.

"Today is my wedding day and I sneak out to greet my bride” Wuxian fondly remark. Both Xichen and Wanji eyes went around. As wuxian finish his word, Xichen just notice that Wuxian was wearing red groom attire. As Wanji face was covered with the head veil, Wuxian can see his reaction vaguely, such a shame because Wuxian sure Wanji' reaction will be super adorable. Wanji went stiff in Wuxian embrace for a moment before slowly collecting his composure back.

Wanji wiggling to release himself from Wuxian strong arms and Wuxian granted his wish. Wanji step backward, creating an appropriate gap between them.

"Jiang gongzi, you mean. You and wanji wedding" Lan Xichen though not over his shock. Isn't this is too soon?

Jiang Wuxian eyes twinkled and nodded. Wanji stands still, trying to grasp the situation. He didn't expect for his wedding will come this fast. Wuxian step into his private space again, lean in and peek on his cheek. Although Wuxian lips landed on his veil instead of Wanji' skin, Wanji breath hitched, and he can feel the affectionate kiss to the core.

“i meet you at altar, wifey" Wuxian whisper with teasing tone, make Wanji flutter. Stomach grumbles with anticipation. Wuxian skipping to his room with a light step. Xichen approach Wanji and giving a warmth embrace.

“Congrats, wanji-ah. You found your soul mate"

..... .....................................................................................

Meanwhile, at west side of lotus pier, in one of the room, Jin Lusi throws everything she can grab in rage. No one can calm her down. She was furious and heartbroken over the news of Wuxian and Wanji wedding. Jin Guangyao trying his best to comfort her, but she is beyond control.

"Enough lusi. Put that down" Jin Guangyao warn Lusi to set the ancient vase down. Fortunately, Lusi listens to him. Putting the vase back on its spot, before she fell into the ground, sobbing like a child. Her heart hurt so much. Jin Guangyao sits down to match her level and hugging his sister, hoping it will help to comfort her.

"Ge promised to make Wuxian as yours" Guangyao kissed Lusi crown of head, tears silently flow down as his heartache seeing his sister vulnerable state

"And there is a only way to make it happen. We need to word together" the siblings startled upon Nie Yangzi presence in their room. Nie Yangzi gives them a sly smile.

“what did you mean by that?" GuangYao inquire.

"Jin xiaojie. Are you fine to have General Commander Wuxian but shared with others" Yangzi genuinely asking Lusi, her eyes challenging Lusi.

"i'm fine with everything as long i can mark wuxian as mine" Lusi determinedly exclaim.

"me too...so i have a proposal that if it worked. We can have Wuxian too,” Yangzi remarked with suggesting tone.

"wh..what? Tell me. I will do everything" Lusi desperately claim, stand up and approaching Yangzi. Face brightened up with hope. Yangzi smirk sardonically.

"Lan er gongzi is a male. No matter how elegant he is, it didn't change the fact that he is male. He can't produce an heir for Jiang. Jiang Wuxian is a future leader. Successor will be a serious and sensitive issue for Sect continuity. With appropriate pressure, we can corner Wuxian to take a concubine. Not only to produce heir but also maintenance the peace treaty. If we press the correct button, move the right chest, we also can be Wuxian spouse" Yangzi exposes her plan, make Lusi awe and grin menacingly. Guangyao smirk, promise to help them. To immerse on their ill intent, the trio didn't notice Nie Huisang presence outside the room, dropping on their conversation.

"Interesting" Nie Huisang grin behind his fan. Retreating to visit Lan Wanji. His new friend.
