344: Chapter 344 Marrying Chiba, Lu Shan
Two days later.
The wedding took place.
Lin Family 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 "Double Happiness" was pasted on every door and window.
The maid robots had been busy all day, getting everything ready perfectly.
Guests arrived one after another.
There were old acquaintances from Qilin Kingdom, new friends from Lingyuan City, and powerhouses under the command of King Blood Axe and King Feiyun.
In the living room, the garden, and the corridors, people were everywhere.
Su Yingxue scanned the crowd.
She was looking for someone.
Ruozao.
Lu Shan's best friend, possessor of the Heavenly Wind Dao Body, a 100-point beauty.
Previously, Lu Shan had said that Ruozao was in seclusion and could not be contacted.
But for an event as big as a wedding, Lu Shan would surely have tried every means to notify her.
Sure enough, Su Yingxue saw her.
In the crowd stood a young woman.
She was wearing a light green dress, with long hair cascading to her waist.
Her Face was exquisite, her features soft, and her brows and eyes carried a sense of intimacy, like a girl next door.
Standing there, quiet and still, she was like a daisy blooming in a corner.
Not flashy, not eye-catching, yet she made people want to approach her.
Ruozao.
Su Yingxue's eyes lit up.
She had finally seen her.
She had only seen her in projections before and already thought she was beautiful.
Seeing her in person now, she liked her even more.
That temperament, like a girl next door, gentle, quiet, and kind.
It made people like her at first sight.
Su Yingxue's gaze lingered on her for a long time.
Fei Xue and Feiying had also come.
The two were dressed in casual clothes, one in white, one in black, standing in the crowd, looking particularly striking.
Su Yingxue looked at them, joy in her heart.
The three beauties she had set her sights on were finally all here.
Ruozao, Fei Xue, Feiying.
Three 100-point beauties, three different temperaments.
One was a girl next door, gentle and quiet.
One was the Light Sacred Body, holy and pure.
One was the Dark Sacred Body, mysterious and alluring.
The more Su Yingxue looked, the more satisfied she was.
She didn't go up to talk; now was not the time.
She was the Lin Family Matriarch and had to arrange everything.
As for the conquest mission, she would leave it to the other sisters.
Not long after, King Blood Axe and King Feiyun arrived.
The two brought no followers; just the two of them flew down from the sky and landed at the manor gate.
The aura of the Ninth-Rank powerhouses, even though 99% of it was restrained, still made the surrounding air heavy.
Everyone fell silent at the same time.
Then, an even greater commotion erupted.
"King Blood Axe! King Feiyun!"
"Two King-ranked powerhouses have come!"
"The Lin Family really has a lot of Face!"
Exclamations and discussions rose one after another.
Qiao Feifei and the others, who had just been surrounding the three, chatting and laughing, instantly restrained their lively nature and became much more dignified in their demeanor.
After all, with King-ranked powerhouses present, they couldn't lose their composure.
Ruozao, Fei Xue, and Feiying breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
This family was too enthusiastic.
From the moment they entered the door, Lin Yun's wives had surrounded them.
Everyone was incredibly enthusiastic.
That burning gaze...
How should she put it?
It was like looking at one of their own.
This made them feel a bit uncomfortable.
Especially Fei Xue and Feiying, who had previously made a bet with Su Yingxue.
Being stared at with that kind of gaze, they always felt a bit guilty.
Now that King Blood Axe and King Feiyun had arrived and Lin Yun's wives had restrained themselves, they felt a bit more at ease.
...
The auspicious time arrived.
Gongs and drums were loud, and ceremonial music played.
Lin Yun welcomed the two brides back in an eight-bearer sedan chair.
With red silk leading the way, Chiba and Lu Shan, dressed in phoenix coronets and robes, were supported by maids to the ritual platform.
The Red Bridal Veil covered their Faces, and only their exquisite figures could be seen.
"First bow to heaven and earth..."
The three bowed at the same time.
"Second bow to the high hall..."
"Bow to each other as husband and wife..."
"Send to the bridal chamber..."
The ceremony was complete.
Applause, cheers, gongs, drums, and ceremonial music rang out simultaneously.
Ruozao stood under the stage, watching Lu Shan being sent to the bridal chamber, her heart filled with mixed feelings.
She had only been in seclusion for a while.
Really, just for a while.
Yet before she came out of seclusion, she received the news that Nickname was getting married.
She was stunned at the time.
"Nickname? Getting married?"
The Nickname who went shopping, ate, Cultivate, and played with her every day was actually getting married?
She thought someone was joking.
But the news was sent by Nickname herself, attached with Lin Yun's photo and information.
After reading it, Ruozao was even more stunned.
"You've known each other for less than a month, and you're getting married?"
She rushed out of seclusion and hurried over.
Even now, she still couldn't quite accept it.
Nickname was actually married just like that.
Not a single sign, not a single buffer.
Shen Youqing noticed Ruozao's low spirits and gently held her soft hand.
"Sister Ruozao."
Ruozao looked at her.
Shen Youqing comforted her softly: "Even if Nickname is married to the husband, she will still be good sisters with you in the future. You can still be together, oh."
Ruozao was simple-minded and took it as ordinary comfort.
She didn't hear the hidden meaning in the words at all.
If she had tasted the subtext, she might have been so shy that her head would be smoking on the spot.
...
Su Yingxue came to Fei Xue and Feiying.
The two looked at her with calm expressions.
Su Yingxue's lips curled with a teasing smile.
"Are you two ready? In a month, it will be you two, oh."
Feiying snorted, her chin lifted slightly.
"Win first, then talk."
Her tone was firm, her eyes confident.
She didn't believe at all that Lin Yun could do it.
Fei Xue's expression was the same as Feiying's.
In her heart, she was still certain that it was impossible for Lin Yun to master a defensive Cultivation Technique in one month, and she didn't take the bet to heart at all.
Su Yingxue looked at them like this and didn't say anything more.
The two had already fallen into the net; want to escape? That was not a possibility at all.
...
The wedding banquet began.
Fine wine and delicacies were served in turns, guests raised their glasses and chatted, noisy and joyful.
During the banquet, Shen Youqing specifically moved to Ruozao's side, a mysterious look on her Face.
"Sister Ruozao, do you want to know Nickname's hidden little secret?"
Ruozao's curiosity was piqued.
What other secret did Nickname have that she didn't know?
They had known each other for so many years, talked about everything, and knew everything about each other.
She thought she knew more about Nickname than Nickname knew about herself.
But now, Shen Youqing said there was a secret.
Ruozao couldn't help asking: "What secret?"
Shen Youqing leaned close to her and lowered her voice.
"Do you want to know why Nickname married the husband so quickly?"
Of course Ruozao wanted to know.
She had only been in seclusion for such a short time, and Nickname got married.
She couldn't figure it out, couldn't understand, couldn't see through it.
What exactly was the reason that made Nickname so anxious?
Shen Youqing whispered a sentence in her ear.
"Follow me later."
Ruozao looked at her, full of confusion.
Shen Youqing didn't say anything more.
She just blinked playfully, maintaining the mystery, sustaining Ruozao's curiosity.
Everything was going according to plan.
Shen Youqing had already initially succeeded on her side.
On the other side.
Su Yingxue was also exerting effort.
