Heavenly Marriage

Empress Wa's Palace.

A misty, ethereal atmosphere, a Dao Rhyme Daoist aura.

Di Jun, Taiyi, Fuxi arrived at the Empress Wa's Palace.

Upon seeing Nuwa seated high on her cloud bed, they all bowed in respect.

Di Jun, Taiyi, Fuxi said, "Greetings, Nuwa."

Nuwa's gaze swept over the three of them, her voice clear yet gentle. "No need for formalities, please rise."

Then, she looked at Fuxi, a gentle smile appearing on her usually cold face, and said softly.

"Elder Brother, you don't need to be so formal. We are just siblings, why should we stand on ceremony?"

Fuxi straightened up, a gentle smile on his face, but shook his head.

"Propriety must not be disregarded. My sister is now a Heavenly Dao Saint, representing the dignity of Heavenly Dao, and the proper etiquette must not be neglected."

Nuwa gently shook her head, her tone softening with affection.

"There are no outsiders here, so it's better if we address each other as brother and sister; it sounds more intimate."

If you always address me as "Your Ladyship," it seems too distant.

A gentle smile appeared on Fuxi's face.

"Okay, I'll do whatever my sister says."

Upon hearing the word "sister," Nuwa smiled sincerely.

"It sounds better to call me that, Elder Brother."

She then looked at Di Jun and Taiyi, and said calmly.

"From now on, you two no longer need to address me as 'Your Ladyship,' just call me ' Empress Wa.'"

Di Jun and Taiyi were overjoyed, as this undoubtedly brought them closer together.

"Yes, thank you, Empress Wa."

After exchanging pleasantries, Nuwa got down to business.

"The three of you have come together today; has something serious happened to the Demon Clan?"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi glanced at Di Jun beside him and spoke with a smile.

"It is indeed a big event, but it is also a very joyous occasion."

"Oh? What happy occasion?" Nuwa also became a little curious.

Fuxi did not answer directly, but instead turned his gaze to Di Jun, indicating that he should speak for himself.

Di Jun stepped forward, his face showing a rare tenderness and solemnity.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to Empress Wa."

"That's right. Because I'm dealing with matters concerning the Moon Star, I often interact with Fellow Xi He Xihe."

"After spending more time together, we gradually developed feelings for each other."

"Therefore, after discussing with fellow Daoist Xi He, we have decided to become Dao Companion and explore the Great Dao together."

Taiyi, who was standing next to him, twitched violently at the corner of his eye upon hearing this.

He silently turned his head to the side, feeling that his ears were being polluted.

Mutual affection?

You call that "mutual affection"?

You were clearly lustful at first sight, and it was all premeditated!

Di Jun had no idea that his younger brother was making a huge fuss about him in his mind, and he continued.

"However, after much thought, I feel that this matter cannot be handled hastily."

"I am the Demon Emperor, and she is the Taiyin Star Lord."

"I hope to hold the grandest Dao Companion ceremony for her, to announce it to the entire primordial Primordial Wilderness, and to show how much my Demon Clan values her."

"Therefore, I have dared to come and request that Your Empress Wa personally preside over our grand ceremony."

"Firstly, it makes the occasion seem more formal, thus demonstrating my sincerity."

"Secondly, I also want to set an example for all the beings of my Demon Clan race."

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

After Di Jun finished speaking, he looked at Nuwa with anticipation, waiting for her reply.

However, Nuwa's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

Nuwa, lying on the cloud bed, suddenly shuddered!

Becoming Dao Companion... presiding over the grand ceremony... the sun... the moon...

Words connected and collided in Nuwa's mind!

She realized it instantly!

The Innate Red Embroidered Ball associated with marriage, is what it governs!

"Innate Red Embroidered Ball!"

Zhou Ming!

You're messing with me again!

The two Di Jun Taiyi, looked at each other, their faces completely bewildered.

What's going on?

Weren't we talking about my older brother's wedding?

Why did the Innate Red Embroidered Ball suddenly come up?

How did this get involved with Zhou Ming?

Taiyi's mind raced, and countless outrageous ideas flashed through his mind in an instant.

Could it be... that Zhou Ming got involved in my brother's affair with Xi He?

That's not right!

When did he become associated with the Moon Star?

Could it be that the older brother stole Zhou Ming's woman?

Brother, you're really bold! Daring to steal a woman from Saint!

Only Fuxi felt a jolt in his heart when he heard the words "Innate Red Embroidered Ball".

He knew that his sister had given this Supreme Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure to Zhou Ming in order to become a saint.

He immediately stepped forward and asked urgently, "Sister, do you mean this matter is related to the Innate Red Embroidered Ball?"

"Good!"

"This matter is indeed related to the Innate Red Embroidered Ball!"

At first, she couldn't understand why Zhou Ming specifically requested the Red Embroidered Ball.

This treasure is practically useless to the Wu Clan.

So it turns out she was waiting for him here all along!

He knew all along that there would be a "Heavenly Marriage"!

He had known all along that this Red Embroidered Ball was an indispensable ritual object for presiding over the Heavenly Marriage!

She looked at Di Jun with an extremely complicated expression.

"After hearing what you just said, I instantly understood the secret of Heavenly Secrets."

"You are the Lord of the Sun, wielding ultimate Yang. Xi He is the Taiyin Star Lord, wielding ultimate Yin."

"Your union is a union of Yin and Yinyang, which is no ordinary union between Dao Companion."

"It is the Heavenly Dao Trend, a Heavenly Marriage!"

"Since this Heavenly Marriage, it is proclaimed throughout the Primordial Wilderness, and surely Heavenly Dao Merit will descend!"

Heavenly Marriage!

Merit!

Upon hearing these two words, Di Jun could no longer contain his joy, which instantly burst forth.

He felt an overwhelming sense of surprise and joy wash over him!

Originally, he only wanted to marry a Dao Companion he liked and, incidentally, bring the Moon Star completely under the control of the Demon Clan.

I never expected to gain Merit!

"Hahaha! Great news! Great news indeed!"

Di Jun could no longer contain his excitement and burst into laughter, clapping his hands.

"I never imagined that becoming Dao Companion with Xi He would bring me such Merit! This is truly heaven's help to my Demon Clan!"

Taiyi was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at his elder brother, then at Nuwa, his mind unable to process what was happening for a moment.

After all that, the older brother went off to flirt and somehow managed to accumulate Merit?

Is there no justice left in this world?!

Should I also find a Dao Companion?

Seeing Di Jun's overjoyed expression, Nuwa felt even more suffocated.

Yes, that's fantastic news for you.

But to me, it was as if Zhou Ming had completely outmaneuvered me!

Fuxi looked at his sister's unpleasant expression, then glanced at the happy Di Jun.

He sighed inwardly; he now understood completely.

He looked at Nuwa and comforted her, "Sister, things have come to this..."

Nuwa waved her hand, interrupting him.

She looked at Di Jun with a complicated expression.

"It's acceptable to officiate at Heavenly Marriage."

"However, the Innate Red Embroidered Ball, the symbol of our marriage, is no longer in my possession."

Di Jun was completely confused.

Isn't the Innate Red Embroidered Ball a Nuwa Magic Treasure of Nuwa? How come it's not in her possession?

Nuwa noticed his confusion, and her cool voice was tinged with anger.

Too lazy to hide anything, he explained directly.

"For some reason, I mortgaged the Innate Red Embroidered Ball' to Zhou Ming."
