The next day.
Immortal Spirit Island was decked out with lanterns and decorations. Flowers carpeted the ground, and the whole island seemed to brim with joy.
Because of the limitations of time and circumstance, the wedding had to be kept simple. All the complicated traditions, like formal matchmakers and the exchange of betrothal gifts, were skipped.
The ceremony was not at all elaborate, and the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.
Amid laughter and blessings, Hao Shuai and Zhao Ling'er paid their respects to Heaven and Earth.
At the call of "Escort the bride to the wedding chamber," Zhao Ling'er was led to the bridal chamber, while Hao Shuai stayed behind at the wedding banquet.
After all, the sun had not even set yet, so Hao Shuai naturally couldn't rush off to the wedding chamber.
They ate and drank for two hours, and the banquet finally ended as dusk fell.
Only then did Grandma Jiang have a maid escort Hao Shuai to the wedding chamber.
Inside, candle flames flickered gently, their warm glow illuminating the entire room. Zhao Ling'er, dressed in her wedding gown and wearing a red veil, sat demurely on the edge of the bed.
After sending away the maid guarding the door, Hao Shuai walked up to Zhao Ling'er. Slowly, he reached out and lifted her red veil!
Beneath it, Zhao Ling'er wore a bride's crown. Her cheeks were flushed, and a smile curved her lips. Her already breathtaking face looked even more alluring against the red wedding dress.
Even though Hao Shuai had been a groom dozens of times, he couldn't help sitting down beside Zhao Ling'er and drawing her into his arms.
"My precious Ling'er looks so beautiful today!" Feeling her soft body in his arms, Hao Shuai praised her sincerely.
Zhao Ling'er smiled happily
