Time passed leisurely, and Xuanxiao and Taiyi finally reached their wedding day. This was no small affair—the gifts they received were even more extravagant than Dijun's. As it turned out, the great powers of the Primordial Wilderness had assumed that Jieyin and Zhunti had been beaten and warned because their gifts were too meager.
As a result, the gifts presented by the various great powers this time even frightened Bai Ze, who was himself a great power.
Bai Ze announced, "Ancestor Minghe of the Blood Sea presents one Ninth-grade Karma Red Lotus, a High-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure."
"Zhen Yuanzi has arrived with Fairy Hongyun and the two immortal boys, Qingfeng and Mingyue. He presents six pairs of Ginseng Fruits and three Innate Spiritual Treasures."
"The Three Pure Ones are the elders of the Mystic Emperor. They need not present gifts this time."
"Jieyin and Zhunti of Mount Sumeru have arrived and present one Ninth-grade Merit Golden Lotus."
Dijun's face darkened as he said to Wangshu, "Well, my wife, Xuanxiao and Taiyi beat the two of them up, and their wedding gift was a lotus throne. We didn't beat them up, and our gift was merely a Houtian Spiritual Treasure. What do you think?"
Wangshu chuckled and said, "My cultivation has also recovered to the First Heaven of Primordial Grand Unity, but I still can't manage to beat them up. We'll discuss it after the wedding banquet."
Dijun nodded. "That's only proper."
At that moment, another shocked voice rang out: "Haotian of the Purple Cloud Palace has arrived with Yaochi. He offers one strand of Primordial Violet Qi and a quantity of Heavenly Dao Merit as a wedding gift."
Haotian shouted, "The Mystic Emperor of the demon race is a direct descendant of Pangu and enjoys a portion of the merit from the creation of the heavens and earth. The Heavenly Dao has specially bestowed upon him one strand of Primordial Violet Qi."
As soon as those words were spoken, all the great powers were shocked. However, one's origins could not be changed, and there was no use envying him.
After some time, all the guests had arrived and the gifts had been collected. Nuwa stepped onto the high platform and said, "Today is the wedding of the Mystic Emperor and Eastern Emperor of our demon race. Welcome, everyone, and thank you for coming to show your support."
As she spoke, she looked at the crowd and smiled. "Everyone present is a prominent figure of the Primordial Wilderness. If there are any grievances today, please settle them after the wedding."
After saying this, Nuwa bowed slightly and performed a formal curtsy. The many guests below immediately applauded and cheered. Most of those who had come to offer their congratulations were prominent figures from various realms, and many of them were members of the demon race.
You may wonder why Nuwa had said this. That was because Jieyin and Zhunti were currently glaring at Kunpeng and the others, looking as if they were about to start fighting. Judging from the situation, if no one intervened, Xuanxiao's wedding would descend into chaos.
Nuwa raised her hand and pressed it down twice. "Thank you, everyone. I now announce that the wedding banquet officially begins. Please..." As her words ended, the entire hall filled with the melodious sound of a guzheng. At that moment, a young man and woman slowly appeared in everyone's view. The two walked forward hand in hand and stopped. Then a young man's cool, pleasant voice rang out as he declared, "Thank you all for attending the wedding of Eastern Emperor and me. I, Xuanxiao, thank you all here today. Empress Wa, please continue."
Nuwa continued presiding over the ceremony. "First bow to Heaven and Earth."
Xuanxiao and Taiyi bowed together.
"Second bow to the elders." Xuanxiao and Taiyi turned and bowed toward the Three Pure Ones, Dijun, and Wangshu on the high platform.
"Bow to each other." Xuanxiao and Taiyi bowed to each other.
"The ceremony is complete. The wedding banquet begins. Serve the feast." After Nuwa finished speaking, she clapped her hands, and all kinds of spirit fruits and immortal wine were brought out...
At that moment, Zhen Yuanzi came to Nuwa's side and said, "Empress Wa, Hong Yun and I will also be getting married after some time. If you're free, could you come and preside over our ceremony as well?"
Nuwa nodded. "Given your relationship with our demon race, naturally that won't be a problem. Eight Ginseng Fruits."
Zhen Yuanzi nodded. "Deal."
And so, as soon as the great powers of the Primordial Wilderness had finished attending Xuanxiao's wedding, Zhen Yuanzi began calculating an auspicious date.
Hong Yun said coquettishly, "Why don't we hold ours together with Xuanxiao and the others? Weren't we planning to do that at first?"
Zhen Yuanzi said, "Hold it together... It would be difficult to divide the wedding gifts then. That's why I thought of holding them separately."
Hong Yun nodded. "I see. You really are clever."
