423: Chapter 423 The Ceremony of Union

The day of the Bonding Ceremony drew closer day by day.

Qiu Rong personally brought over a shimmering jiao sa skirt.

The fabric was as light and thin as a cicada's wing, swirling with a seven-colored rainbow light under the illumination; it felt cool and smooth to the touch, as if one were holding a handful of moonlight.

Qiu Rong draped it over Bai Wanwan's shoulders, his deep eyes reflecting her silhouette.

"Wan Wan, wear this for tomorrow's Bonding Ceremony..."

Bai Wanwan stroked the dreamlike merman silk on her body. Although she was already the Mother of several Cubs, this was truly her first formal "wedding."

She also valued it immensely, determined to stand before her Beast Husbands in her most beautiful state.

"Alright,"

She turned around and hugged Qiu Rong's waist. Just as she was about to finish speaking, the door to the room was pushed open from the outside by Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu said nothing, and the other Males standing beside him, like Jin Yi, also remained silent.

Qiu Rong had no choice but to stop his half-extended hand, his gaze falling on the Female's beautiful face.

"Tonight... we agreed that no one can enter your room. I have to go."

After saying that, under the watchful eyes of the several Males outside, Qiu Rong turned and walked toward them step by step.

Being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, she didn't feel it was right to ask him to stay, so she could only squeeze out a beautiful smile for them.

Once the door was closed, she lay alone on the three-meter-wide bed, rolling back and forth, feeling so comfortable and free that she wanted to sing a song at the top of her lungs.

Gradually, she grew tired and sleepy. Without the embrace of a Beast Husband by her side, she felt very unaccustomed to it.

She actually felt a long-lost sense of loneliness.

She originally thought that being enveloped by such loneliness would surely cause insomnia, but perhaps she really had tired herself out from rolling around.

Before she could feel 'emo' for too long, she actually fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Bai Wanwan didn't get out of bed until she had slept her fill.

She wasn't in a hurry at all. Although today was their Bonding Ceremony, the ritual would be held in the evening.

She still had a whole day to prepare herself; she wanted to be their most beautiful bride!

Bai Wanwan got dressed, took her toiletries, and headed to the hot spring pool downstairs.

On the way, she didn't just run into Yin Ze and Jin Yi, but also Yan Lie and Zhu Xiu...

But strangely, they were all traveling in pairs and kept a certain distance from her.

"What are they up to?"

After Bai Wanwan muttered to herself, she didn't bother with them. Pushing open the door to the hot spring pool, the misty heat made her whole body feel comfortable.

She immediately took off her clothes and immersed herself in the warm spring water, letting the flow soothe her tired skin.

She didn't soak for too long, as soaking for too long would make the skin wrinkle.

Once her pores had opened up, she began to apply a cream mask exchanged from the System Mall all over her body.

She lay leisurely for over twenty minutes on the lounge chair that Yan Lie had specially prepared.

After washing the mask off her body, she looked at her fair skin tinged with pink, which was incredibly delicate, and curled her lips in satisfaction.

With the basic maintenance work finished, she packed her things and returned to her room to start styling her hair.

She gathered all of her thick black hair and tied it into a fluffy, full bun on top of her head, skillfully leaving a few stray strands to frame her face.

Looking in the mirror, she was very satisfied with her hairstyle.

The face in the mirror had been growing more and more beautiful, but today... was the most important day of her life. She wanted her beauty to be shocking enough so that even after decades, her Beast Husbands would still clearly remember her appearance when they thought of this day.

The corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. Humming a song, she began to apply primer and liquid foundation...

She hadn't applied makeup in a long time, but she wasn't very rusty. Although her skills couldn't compare to a professional makeup artist, she was considered excellent among ordinary people.

Time passed minute by minute. The Beast Husbands supervised each other, and no one had the chance to approach Bai Wanwan.

But they were all looking forward to seeing her appear again.

When the dressed-up Bai Wanwan pushed open the door and appeared before the waiting Beast Husbands, time seemed to stand still.

Sunlight poured in through the window lattice, and the shimmering light of the merman silk on her body complemented the flowers in her hair.

Her fair skin radiated a pearly luster after careful makeup. Her clear eyes were filled with joy, her cherry lips were slightly pursed, and the corners of her mouth held a happy curve.

That merman silk gown perfectly outlined her exquisite curves while adding a touch of holiness and mystery.

Just standing there, she was already breathtakingly beautiful.

The gazes of the six Beast Husbands were instantly and firmly fixed on her, and they involuntarily held their breath for a moment.

The crimson in Zhu Xiu's eyes surged; a strong possessiveness rose in Xin Feng's gentle eyes; Yan Lie's Adam's apple rolled violently; Jin Yi stood rooted to the spot, forgetting to breathe; Yin Ze's pupils became sharp vertical slits; and even the habitually calm Qiu Rong had huge waves churning in his deep eyes.

A powerful emotion, a mixture of amazement and possessiveness, exploded in their hearts.

Yan Lie spoke in a low voice, with a hint of annoyance: "Perhaps... we shouldn't have held such a grand ceremony..."

To let the entire Tribe, and even foreign clans, see their treasure shining so brightly?

Zhu Xiu echoed him, a look of agreement showing in his crimson eyes.

Qiu Rong suppressed the possessiveness churning in his heart, took Bai Wanwan's hand, and said in a low and firm voice: "It is precisely because of this that we should let all beastmen know she is our Female!"

*****

As night fell, a huge bonfire in the center of the Tribe burned fiercely, its orange-red flames licking the night sky, illuminating the surroundings like daylight.

Cheerful drumbeats thundered, and the fat from the roasted meat dripped into the fire, making a sizzling sound.

Strong Male beastmen stretched their powerful limbs, performing a dance full of primitive vitality, forming a surging vortex around the bonfire.

"She's here! Look, that's the Clan Leader's Consort!"

Everyone's gaze focused on the newly appeared Bai Wanwan.

With one look, they all seemed to have lost their souls.

How could a Female be this beautiful?

From head to toe, every single part was nothing but beautiful.

The beastmen of the entire Tiger Clan were all staring at them. Hua Han almost sprang up from his seat. The Female who had made his heart flutter at first sight was actually the Tiger Clan Leader's Consort?

And in the place closest to the high platform, Ember Shadow's eyes swept over indifferently, landing on the Female...

There were too many gazes looking at them, so Bai Wanwan didn't pay attention to other beastmen, only looking at the equally tall and handsome Males beside her.

How fortunate she was to have traveled here and become partners with six such outstanding Males to form a family!

"Clan Leader, please lead the Males and the Female onto the Altar."

Qiu Rong reached out and tightly grasped Bai Wanwan's hand, while on the other side, Zhu Xiu also took her hand.

Under the watchful eyes of the multitude and the earth-shaking cheers, Bai Wanwan, dressed in the seven-colored shimmering merman silk as if draped in the radiance of the stars and moon, slowly ascended the high platform in the center of the Tribe, surrounded by her six equally dressed-up and extraordinary Beast Husbands.
