Chapter 976
Geshu Tang said, “I will inform you of the results by tomorrow morning at the latest.”
“Okay, no problem. Tonight is my grand wedding. Make sure it is well-prepared. This is the first wedding in my life, and I want to be the most beautiful bride!” Ye Xingguang stood up and walked away, leaving the six elders behind.
Of course, there would be a second wedding in her life!
One underwater, another on land. Since she couldn’t wear a wedding dress underwater, she could wear one on land. Witnessed by her parents and friends, that made her look forward to it even more.
…
Tonight, the grand wedding.
In the underwater kingdom, they did not believe in Jesus nor had the ceremony of saying “I do” in front of a Priest, but every couple needed to hold the wedding in front of the sacred tree, asking for its blessing for a happy marriage and to grow old together.
Ye Junqing followed local customs.
Outside the blockade, the crowd watching the queen’s wedding was especially large. Everyone spread the word, eager to witness this joyful moment.
However, they could only watch from a distance.
Since Ye Junqing was not an underwater resident and, although he could adapt to the underwater pressure, staying underwater for long was not his forte. Thus, to accommodate the male Empress of the kingdom, a waterproof membrane system had been prepared in advance. The entire area around the sacred tree was enclosed with a waterproof membrane, and a pressure reduction system was also used, allowing even Fu Zhuo, Ji Qishu, and others to attend the ceremony.
The wedding required two flower children, and Yin Xiaohua volunteered, pulling Mo Yinhe along. The two little guys followed behind the bride and groom.
The crowd watched from afar, murmuring to themselves.
“My goodness, aren’t those the young Mr. Mo of the Galaxy Corporation and young Mr. Yin of the Giant Star Corporation? Look, they look so much like the Queen and Mr. Empress. It’s as if they were the royal children.”
“Don’t you know? My cousin’s brother’s son works in the palace, and he got the inside scoop. Young Mr. Mo is the son of Her Majesty the Queen. I bet young Mr. Yin must be Her Majesty’s son as well. This warm family of four is just so lovely!”
“I also want a son and a daughter; I am so envious of Her Majesty the Queen…”noveldrama
…
Although the crowd was distant, Ye Xingguang’s ears were sharp, and she heard all their discussions.
She also envied those with a son and a daughter!
Alas, young Mr. Mo and Yin Xiaohua were not her and the big villain’s children, sigh…
Geshu Tang was the host for this grand wedding.
Standing in front of the sacred tree, Geshu Tang recited a long passage of essential wedding lines, then asked the couple to press their palms against the massive trunk of the sacred tree, close their eyes, and feel the process from when they met, fell in love, and finally stepped into the sanctity of marriage.
What kind of ritual was this?
Ye Junqing had no choice, having agreed to follow the local customs. Respectfully, they approached the sacred tree. Both placed their palms against the rough and thick bark of the sacred tree, closed their eyes, and reminisced.
The instant they closed their eyes, the events they had experienced together suddenly flashed before their eyes, those images cascading through their minds like a slideshow.
Unexpectedly, the first scene that rushed into Ye Junqing’s mind was when he was trapped among a group of sharks unable to escape. A little mermaid rushed into the sharks, rescuing him from their clutches. Then, he accompanied her in fleeing to a deserted island where he lured the pursuers away and fought fiercely with them, becoming gravely injured and barely breathing…
When he woke up, he was already in the hospital, surrounded by his family, but he had lost his little mermaid.
