"Great Priest, the wedding is about to begin. The Sea God has summoned you."
Bo Saixi came back to herself and put away the jade pendant. "I understand."
Elsewhere, Lin Xiao was brought to a room by a Titled Douluo.
The Sea God had instructed that Lin Xiao be changed into wedding clothes, which left him rather confused. Wasn't this supposed to be the Sea God's wedding? How had it become Lin Xiao's?
But he did not dare disobey the Sea God's command and could only help Lin Xiao change clothes.
Lin Xiao was dumbfounded as well. How had he suddenly ended up getting married?
He had not even won over Bo Saixi yet!
After he changed clothes, a maid's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Sir, the time is nearly here. It is time to receive the bride."
"May I ask who the bride is?"
The maid shook her head. "This subordinate does not know."
Lin Xiao rubbed his nose. Who exactly was he marrying? If she was pretty, fine, but what if she was ugly? Full of doubts, he walked out of the room in his groom's attire.
"Sir, please follow me."
Led by the maid, Lin Xiao arrived outside a room. The moment he saw it, he was startled. Wasn't this Bo Saixi's room?
As the sun slowly rose, Bo Saixi emerged from her chambers in a red wedding gown, her face filled with desolation.
Bo Saixi's eyes were red. Clearly, she had not slept well these past few days, and there were still traces of tears on her face.
She did not know why the Sea God had done this. Could it be that he had feelings for her?
As the Sea God Poseidon's most loyal subordinate, she had always revered him.
Yet this time, a hint of melancholy appeared between her brows.
"Lin... Xiao..."
Bo Saixi's delicate face was pale. Her red bridal gown set off her peach-blossom-like features, and a dazzling light flickered in her wandering gaze.
With red lips and pearly teeth, every gesture she made exuded a captivating charm.
Her fair skin was as pure as moonlight, her slender waist like tightly bound silk, and her ten fingers like tender scallion shoots.
The phoenix crown upon her head and the pearls adorning her body gleamed beneath the candlelight like brilliant stars in the sky.
Her long black hair draped over her shoulders like satin, and her willow-leaf brows curved like crescents, though their tips seemed touched by sorrow.
Her beautiful eyes were so dark they seemed bottomless, their corners slightly upturned. When she smiled, they carried the bewitching allure of the night.
The shadows cast by her lashes beneath her eyelids added an indescribable, mysterious charm to her entire face.
Her nose was high yet delicate, dividing her lovely face into two and giving it especially defined contours.
Her cherry lips were rosy, like a silent temptation.
Her exquisite features followed the flawless lines of her face down to her pointed chin. Her fair skin was nearly translucent.
"Receive the bride!"
As the shout rang out, crackling firecrackers sounded outside. Amid the fireworks, the sky became especially romantic.
At that moment, Bo Saixi saw Lin Xiao in his groom's attire. Their eyes met, and both froze.
"Holy shit, I'm actually marrying Sister!"
Bo Saixi could not help but ask, "What does this mean?"
Before Bo Saixi could finish speaking, a golden light descended from the sky and enveloped them both. In almost an instant, they arrived at the Sea God Hall.
Sea God Poseidon looked at the two of them with a genial smile.
"Sea God, what does this mean?" Bo Saixi hurriedly asked.
"Hm?" Poseidon said. "Xiao Xi, the preparations I had you make three days ago were for you."
"Lin Xiao is your husband."
At that moment, Lin Xiao truly wanted to give him a thumbs-up. This old man really knew what he was doing. He was clearly destined for great things.
Before Bo Saixi could say anything, the Sea God shouted, "The wedding begins!"
The master of ceremonies cried out, "The newlyweds, bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Huh?"
Lin Xiao and Bo Saixi were forced to kneel almost instantly, as though something above their heads was pressing them down.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
Lin Xiao and Bo Saixi both looked toward the vast blue sky beyond the hall, then gently pressed their snow-white foreheads to the smooth floor.
"Second bow to the elders!"
The two turned toward Sea God Poseidon and bowed to him once more.
At the same time, a man whom no one could see stood quietly in midair, watching the pair in the hall.
After seeing this, the man nodded in satisfaction and looked into the distance, his expression turning sorrowful.
"Did you... see it?"
When it came time for the husband and wife to bow to each other, Lin Xiao and Bo Saixi faced one another, lightly lifted their robes, bent at the waist, and bowed. Seeing this, the densely packed guests burst into thunderous applause and could not help shouting, "Good!"
Poseidon picked up a wine cup and tossed it toward Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi caught it and, after looking at the Sea God, drained it in one gulp.
"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
Bo Saixi, dressed in red wedding robes, was led away by a female guard, leaving everyone else behind.
"Uh... I got married just like that?" Lin Xiao felt as though it were a dream, but it was far too real.
The Sea God chuckled. "Little fellow, from today onward, you are the son-in-law of my Sea God Island. If anyone dares bully you in the future, come to Sea God Island and find your wife."
Even without him saying so, Lin Xiao understood. With a Level 99 Peerless Douluo for a wife and a God-level expert for a grandfather, he could walk sideways across the continent.
"Thank you, Senior."
"Mm. Xiao'er, treat Xiao Xi well from now on. She is a child with a bitter fate. This old man will not say much about her past."
Lin Xiao's expression turned solemn. "Senior Sea God, as long as I, Lin Xiao, am alive, I will never let her down, even at the cost of my life!"
"Enough. Go to the bridal chamber. I hope you remember what you said today. Otherwise, this old man will not spare you."
After Poseidon spoke, he vanished strangely.
Led by a maid, Lin Xiao arrived at Bo Saixi's chambers.
He pushed open the door.
Reeking of alcohol, Lin Xiao walked in. He had drunk quite a bit today, but he discovered that no matter how much he drank, Li Bai absorbed it all, making it seem as though he had not drunk anything at all.
How strange.
Could it be that Li Bai mainly drank alcohol?
Forget it. The bridal chamber was what mattered now.
Lin Xiao strode up to Bo Saixi and gently lifted the red veil covering her head. When he saw the beautiful woman with skin as white as snow, his heart trembled.
Bo Saixi's delicate face was slightly flushed. She looked as shy as a young girl, her little hands fidgeting together from time to time, not daring to raise her head and look at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao touched his face. After coming here, he still did not know what he looked like.
Walking over to a bronze mirror, Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes. Dressed in red wedding robes, he looked like an immortal descending from the Ninth Heavens, possessing an ethereal bearing and exceptionally refined features, as though he had stepped out of a painting. His long black hair hung loose, slowly fluttering in the breeze drifting in from outside.
"Holy shit, no wonder Bo Saixi fell for him. He really is handsome."
Lin Xiao gently stroked his cheek. No wonder he was someone capable of winning Bo Saixi's heart.
If he looked at himself long enough, even he would fall in love with himself.
