650: A smooth wedding

“Me? How could I? If I had such a thought, my wife and my mother-in-law would surely flay me alive! No, no!” Duan Fei immediately refused.

“Since you yourself can’t do it, stop making a fuss here. Just watch!” Yu Guili said coldly.

Duan Fei: “…”

“I think he just got lucky. Why does he get all the good things? At this wedding, he’s definitely going to make a fool of himself…”

At this moment, melodious Immortal music drifted from afar. The auspicious time for the wedding had arrived.

Chen Xuan was seen riding a snow-white, extraordinarily majestic Immortal Beast, dressed in an incomparably splendid red wedding robe. The golden embroidery on the robe shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight, and he wore a golden crown inlaid with rare gems on his head, walking towards the wedding venue with a heroic demeanor.

Beside him, Long Qingwan and Ning Xinyou were seated in exquisitely decorated sedan chairs. Long Qingwan wore a Phoenix crown and embroidered robes, her eyes filled with happiness.

Ning Xinyou’s makeup was delicate, and even through the sedan curtain, her bashfulness was hard to conceal.

The three stood in a corner, watching Chen Xuan surrounded by the crowd, enjoying everyone’s attention and blessings. The flames of jealousy in their hearts flared up.

“Chen Xuan, you can be as smug as you want, let’s see how long your glory lasts!”

“How dare you marry my woman? Let’s see how long you can live!”

“I’ll remember this grudge…”

At the wedding venue, Immortal music lingered, and colorful Immortal light intertwined in the air, forming a magnificent, dreamlike light curtain.

On the ground, the path paved with spirit crystals shimmered with dazzling light, like a river of stars descending to earth.

Guests were as numerous as clouds, with representatives from various forces in the Immortal Realm arriving one after another. They wore luxurious clothes, carried congratulatory gifts, and their faces were filled with smiles, either sincere or polite.

Chen Xuan rode his Immortal Beast, advancing slowly. Wherever he went, the crowd automatically parted, casting envious and admiring glances.

The Immortal Beast raised its head and neighed, looking majestic.

The sedan chairs, surrounded by the crowd, steadily followed behind Chen Xuan. The decorations on the sedan chairs were exquisitely beautiful, every detail showcasing Ning’s nobility.

Arriving before the wedding platform, Chen Xuan dismounted with agile grace.

He gently lifted Long Qingwan’s sedan curtain. Long Qingwan extended her soft hand, placed it on Chen Xuan’s, and slowly stepped out of the sedan chair.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with deep affection for Chen Xuan, no longer salty at all.

Afterward, Chen Xuan walked to Ning Xinyou’s sedan chair and, in the same manner, welcomed Ning Xinyou out.

Under the witness of everyone, Chen Xuan, Long Qingwan, and Ning Xinyou completed the bowing ceremony.

After the ceremony, thunderous applause erupted, cheers rose and fell, and colorful petals drifted down from the sky, like celestial maidens scattering flowers.

Immediately after, Chen Xuan led the two beautiful women by the hand, and amidst the blessings of the crowd, entered the bridal chamber.

Red candles flickered, and the bed was adorned with embroidered brocade. Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan exchanged a smile, their eyes full of love.

Ning Xinyou’s face was also flushed with shyness, unsure of what she was thinking.

Meanwhile, Yu Guili, Duan Fei, and Lin Feng stood in the distance, watching Chen Xuan’s blissful appearance, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.

Lin Feng’s eyes held both complex feelings for his aunt and jealousy towards Chen Xuan.

Yu Guili was filled with unwillingness. He had originally thought he would be the protagonist of this wedding, but now he could only watch Chen Xuan enjoy everything.

“Let’s go find a place to drink!” Yu Guili said through gritted teeth.

Lin Feng and Duan Fei exchanged glances and nodded silently. The three arrived at a quiet tavern, ordered several jars of Immortal Realm wine, and drank cup after cup.

“Why is that brat Chen Xuan so glorious?!”

“Exactly, if it weren’t for the bigger picture, I wouldn’t have let him marry her.”

Lin Feng, however, drank silently, not uttering a word.

He was feeling some regret now, but regarding his role in facilitating this matter, he could only feel helpless.

The three drank and complained, the wine jars piling higher and higher, yet the resentment in their hearts seemed impossible to dissipate, forming a stark contrast to the lively wedding outside.

…

Inside the bridal chamber.

Looking at the flickering red candles, Ning Xinyou was still a bit dazed.

She… just got married like this! And her nominal “husband” was currently embracing another woman… Hmm?

“You, what are you two doing? Long Qingwan, aren’t we just going through the motions?”

Upon hearing this, Long Qingwan paused slightly, then a faint blush appeared on her face. She gently pushed Chen Xuan away, her eyes, however, full of affection.

Then, she looked at Ning Xinyou gently:

“Xinyou, although it was previously agreed to be a mere formality, today Chen Lang and I performed the grand bowing ceremony under the witness of so many guests, and also tied our hair together as husband and wife.”

“So in my heart, I have already recognized myself as Chen Lang’s wife. From now on, my body and soul belong to him, and he is also my reliance for this life.”

After speaking, she unconsciously stroked her hair, where a strand of hair from when she tied it with Chen Xuan was still hidden, full of affectionate longing.

Ning Xinyou’s eyes widened, her face full of shock and disbelief. Her hands subconsciously clutched the corner of her clothes, and a faint, indescribable sourness subtly rose in her heart.

Tied hair, she had it too, but…

“But… but we didn’t agree on this beforehand…”

Ning Xinyou’s voice unconsciously lowered, her eyes revealing a hint of panic and confusion, her gaze shifting back and forth between Long Qingwan and Chen Xuan.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly stepped forward, looking at Ning Xinyou with a solemn expression:

“Sister-in-law… Miss Ning, Qingwan’s words are all from the heart. But I also understand that you previously thought it was just a formality, and such a change now must be difficult for you to accept.”

“So I will choose to respect your wishes. After all, whether now or in the future, we are family, and I will never force you.”

Ning Xinyou gently bit her lower lip, her cheeks instantly turning crimson, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She gently lowered her head, avoiding Chen Xuan’s gaze, and whispered: “This, all of this happened too suddenly. I… I really haven’t prepared myself yet.”

Upon hearing this, Long Qingwan stepped forward and gently took Ning Xinyou’s hand:

“Xinyou, I know this puts you in a difficult position. But Chen Lang is a man of deep affection and righteousness, worthy of trust. Since I have recognized him, I am willing to accompany him wholeheartedly. In the days to come, if you are willing, we will walk hand in hand with Chen Lang together. If you have other thoughts, Chen Lang and I will certainly not force you.”

Ning Xinyou looked up at Long Qingwan and Chen Xuan, and the panic in her heart gradually subsided.

“Let me think about it again. This matter is too important; I need time.”

“Alright, Miss Ning, we will wait for you. Whatever decision you make, we will respect you.”

“Thank you…” Ning Xinyou whispered, but no response came from Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan for a long time.

She couldn’t help but look up, only to find that Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan had already entered the “battlefield” and had drawn the curtain. From outside, she could only see a reflection.

At this, Ning Xinyou felt both embarrassed and confused.

Embarrassed by the uninhibited intimacy of the two before her, and annoyed that she seemed to have been drawn into a complicated… situation.

She bit her lower lip, her gaze shifting back and forth between the reflections of Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan, trying to find a hint of falsehood in their reflections, but all she saw was “sincerity” and “deep affection.”

Soon, her world became even wider, and Long Qingwan also began to sing. The knowledge she gained also increased more and more.

Thus, Ning Xinyou waited and waited, but she just couldn’t wait for it to end.

Moreover, holding the strand of hair she tied with Chen Xuan, it felt increasingly unpleasant.

Clearly, clearly she also married Chen Xuan today…
