293: Chapter 293 Marrying Hua Caili

Three days later.

Lin Family Manor.

The entire manor was covered in red.

Red silk hung from the main gate all the way to the main hall, lanterns swayed gently under every eave, and the character for 'joy' was pasted on every door and window.

The air was filled with a mixture of sandalwood and floral scents; these were top-tier spices shipped from the Lingyuan Empire, worth a million per gram.

Hundreds of maids had been busy since three days ago.

Scrubbing, cleaning, decorating, and preparing food.

The entire manor was like a precisely functioning machine, orderly and bustling without chaos.

Before dawn, Lin Yun woke up.

He lay on the large bed in the master bedroom, surrounded by the breathing sounds of his fifty-one wives.

He kept his eyes open, looking at the ceiling.

Today, he was going to marry the Ninth Princess.

He recalled the scene of his first meeting with Hua Caili.

Minglu Planet, Starlight Grass, and that golden light descending from the sky.

She had been suspended in the air, surrounded by endless golden radiance, her face so beautiful it didn't seem to belong to the mortal world.

At that time, he thought that this woman was someone he could never hope to attain in his lifetime.

Now, she was about to become his wife.

Su Yingxue woke up as well.

She opened her eyes and saw Lin Yun staring at the ceiling with a silly grin, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Husband, what are you thinking about?"

"Thinking about Caili."

Su Yingxue's smile widened.

She rolled over and lay on his chest:

"Finally marrying the Ninth Princess, happy?"

"Happy."

Su Yingxue gave him a kiss on the lips: "I'm happy too."

The sky gradually brightened.

The entire Qilin City was in an uproar.

The Ninth Princess was getting married, and she was marrying Lin Yun.

Since the news broke three days ago, the excitement had never ceased to build.

In every street and alley, tea houses and wine shops, everyone was talking about it.

Some said Lin Yun wasn't worthy of the Ninth Princess, some said it was a match made in heaven, and some said it was a political marriage.

Everyone had something to say, but regardless of their opinion, everyone admitted one thing.

This wedding would be the grandest in the history of the Qilin Kingdom.

And indeed it was.

At this moment, Qilin Planet was filled with spaceships from various countries.

From the Moyun Kingdom, the Fenglan Kingdom, the Tianshuang Kingdom...

Over a dozen countries and thousands of distinguished guests had gathered on Qilin Planet, bringing generous gifts, blessings, and their own private thoughts.

There were members of royal families, Clan Chiefs of various major families, and top-tier experts.

The weakest were Fifth-Order, and the strongest were Seventh-Order.

That was the old King of the Moyun Kingdom, who had lived for over five thousand years; with a head of white hair and holding a cane, he stood in the crowd, his gaze as deep as an abyss.

Hua Liuli stood by the palace window, watching the guests coming and going below, her heart filled with nothing but joy.

Her sister was finally getting married.

And she was marrying her husband.

Qu Yanran stood beside her, holding her hand, her heart incredibly excited.

She truly hadn't expected Lin Yun to be able to bring the Ninth Princess home as a wife.

At the thought of seeing her husband and the Ninth Princess doing 'that' tonight, Qu Yanran felt...

No, no, she couldn't think about it anymore, if she kept thinking...

Qu Yanran quickly took deep breaths and shook her head.

Trying to shake the images away.

But the more she shook, the clearer they became.

She was running out of options.

So, she looked at Hua Liuli.

Liuli seemed to be thinking about something; could she be the same as her?

Qu Yanran asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Hua Liuli said, "Nothing. It just feels... a bit surreal."

Qu Yanran smiled: "What's surreal? The Princess marrying our husband, isn't this what you've always hoped for?"

Hua Liuli thought about it and nodded: "That's true."

Su Yingxue watched the guests moving about the manor, her heart incredibly excited.

Her husband had finally married the Ninth Princess.

Ever since she first saw the Ninth Princess on Minglu Planet, she had been looking forward to this day.

After waiting for so many years, it was finally happening.

Qiao Feifei ran over from behind and hugged her: "Sister Yingxue! Is the Ninth Princess coming soon?"

Su Yingxue checked the time: "Soon."

Qiao Feifei stomped her feet in excitement.

Bai Lulu, Qiao Shiyu, Zhao Yiyi, and the others also gathered around, their faces flushed with excitement.

It had been a very long time since they felt like this.

Since a few years ago, after Lin Yun had married the most beautiful and outstanding women from the countries surrounding the Qilin Kingdom, they had never collectively peeked at their husband's wedding night again.

It wasn't that they didn't want to, but there were no more women left to marry.

Yingxue's requirements for new sisters were very, very high.

Today, they had finally waited for another, and the other party was the Ninth Princess.

Everyone's heart was racing.

...

On the other side.

Hua Caili sat before the dressing table, wearing a phoenix coronet and bridal robes, dressed in red.

The mirror reflected an exquisite face.

A faint blush of rouge was on her fair cheeks, and her lips were a vivid red, like ripe cherries.

She had never worn such heavy makeup, nor had she ever worn such vibrant clothes.

She was the Ninth Princess, one of the highest rulers of the Empire; she didn't need makeup to please anyone.

But today was different.

Today, she was getting married.

"Princess, it's time for the veil," the maid said softly.

Hua Caili nodded, letting the maid place the Red Bridal Veil over her head.

Her vision was obscured by red, and she could only see the small patch of ground at her feet.

Her heart beat very fast, faster than in any battle.

She remembered the first time she saw Lin Yun.

At that time, he was just a small Second-Order Martial Artist, standing in space, staring at her blankly.

She thought then that this person was quite bold, not even kneeling upon seeing her.

Later, she hosted a banquet for him at the Imperial Star, and he came with eighteen wives, each as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, but the way he looked at her was different from how he looked at others.

Later, she introduced Liuli to him, and his eyes lit up.

Later, she introduced Xiaoxiao and Yaoguang to him, and he married them without a second thought.

Later, when she came to the Lin Family to see Liuli, he would always accompany her and talk.

Later, they began to spar...

And then...

And then, she was in his arms.

Hua Caili closed her eyes, the corners of her mouth turning up slightly.

Gongs and drums filled the air, and ceremonial music played in unison.

Lin Yun, dressed in bright red wedding robes, stood on the ceremonial platform, waiting for his bride.

The eight-man bridal sedan departed from the palace, passed through the main street of Qilin City, and arrived at the Lin Family Manor.

Behind the sedan followed an honor guard of over a hundred people, playing music and making it incredibly lively.

The streets were packed with people; some stood on tiptoe, some climbed trees, and some flew in the air, all wanting to catch a glimpse of the Ninth Princess's wedding.

The sedan stopped before the ceremonial platform.

Hua Caili was assisted by her maids as she stepped out of the sedan.

The red veil hid her face, leaving only her exquisite figure visible.

Lin Yun stepped forward and reached out his hand.

Hua Caili placed her hand in his palm; her hand was cool and soft.

Lin Yun gripped her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

Hua Caili's heartbeat slowed slightly.

"First bow to Heaven and Earth..."

The two bowed together.

"Second bow to the parents..."

The King sat in the seat of honor, watching his daughter get married, his eyes full of gratification.

The Ninth Princess was his proudest daughter, a Sixth-Order Perfection expert with Heaven-Grade Low Grade talent, a Genius once in a millennium.

She had always refused to marry, saying she hadn't met the right person.

He thought she would never marry in her life.

Now, she was finally married.

Married to this kid Lin Yun.

With the Fertility Holy Body and having reached Fifth-Order Perfection in his thirties, his future was limitless.

"Husband and wife bow to each other..."

The two stood facing each other and bowed simultaneously.

"Sent to the bridal chamber..."

The ceremony was complete.

Applause, cheers, gongs, drums, and ceremonial music all sounded at once, deafeningly loud.

Hua Liuli stood below the stage, watching her sister and husband perform the ceremony, her eyes reddening.

Qu Yanran held her hand, her eyes also turning red.

Su Yingxue looked at the two on the platform, so excited she almost jumped.

Qiao Feifei was already jumping; everyone was expressing their excitement in their own way.
