The Eighteen Betrothal Gifts Shatter the Divine Realm; Bibi Dong: No One Dares Bully My Disciple

When the Marriage Contract spread throughout the continent, the cannons in Spirit City fired for half a day.

When the first explosion rang out, the guard at the city gate, who was still registering the names of Soul Master, trembled, and ink splattered onto the register.

He looked up and saw the golden Marriage Contract hanging in the sky. His throat tightened, and the next moment he shouted it out at the top of his lungs.

"The Celestial Master Grand Wedding!"

The shout woke up the whole street.

"The Celestial Master of Taixu is going to marry the Saintess Hall!"

"Ten days later! Taixu Temple!"

"Quickly! Go to the Pope Palace and report!"

The message spread like wildfire across Spirit City Spirit City and then across the mainland.

The old lands of Heaven Dou, the old city of the Star Luo Empire, and the remnants of Sea God Island —everyone who heard this was stunned for a long time.

Ancient Celestial Master.

Martial Soul Hall Saintess.

Shen Yichen and Hu Liena.

The combination of these names suggests something more than just a wedding.

Tang San died, the God Realm bowed its head, the Spirit Empire's orthodoxy had just been established, and now Master Taixu personally set the wedding date, which was like driving the last nail into the continent's structure.

Who would dare to disagree?

Who dares to say at this moment that the Spirit Hall is unworthy?

That's not just being stubborn, that's courting death.

In the Pope Palace, Yue Guan looked up at the Marriage Contract, unable to suppress her smile.

"Old Ghost, why do I feel like this is even more exciting than the apology from the Divine Realm?"

The Gui Mei glanced at him.

"Nonsense. The Divine Realm' apology is an admission of defeat, and the Celestial Master Grand Wedding is a done deal."

Yue Guan clicked his tongue.

"You put it quite reasonably well."

The Gui Mei ignored him.

Hu Liena stood on the steps of the palace, holding the Marriage Contract in her hand, her fingertips slightly burning.

It wasn't that the Marriage Contract was stamped; it was that she couldn't hold on to it.

Ten days later.

Taixu Temple.

The Celestial Master Grand Wedding.

She had read those eight characters many times, but every time she did, her ears would still burn.

That's it. She used to hate being bossed around, but now she finds those words strangely agreeable.

How pathetic.

Bibi Dong walked out of the palace and saw her like this, a smile appearing in her eyes.

"Still watching?"

Hu Liena immediately closed the Marriage Contract.

"Teacher."

She shouted steadily, but her fingers didn't loosen.

Bibi Dong saw through it but didn't say anything. She simply walked to her side and looked at the Spirit Hall outside, which was already bustling with activity.

Red ribbons were hung from the pillars of the palace, and lanterns stretched from the end of the long street all the way to the Pope Palace.

Soul Master carried wedding chests back and forth, and even the usually serious Law Enforcement Team was stuffed with red ribbons. When they stood guard, their faces were stern as if they were interrogating criminals, but they had a big red knot hanging around their waists.

Hu Liena wanted to laugh.

The Spirit Hall has hosted grand events before, but never with this kind of atmosphere.

It was not a pre-battle oath-taking ceremony, nor a ceremony to bestow honors, nor an execution of the enemy.

It's a joyous occasion. A truly joyous occasion.

She suddenly felt a little unreal.

Tang San had only been dead for a short time, and the announcement from the Divine Realm had only been made a few days ago, yet her life had been pulled out of the killing and pushed to the front of a wedding.

But this unreality didn't frighten her.

This actually made her want to hurry up.

Bibi Dong turned her head to look at her.

"The dowry is already being prepared."

Hu Liena was taken aback.

"Teacher, actually, you don't need too much."

Bibi Dong glanced at her indifferently.

"You are my disciple, Bibi Dong's Martial Soul Hall Saintess, and also the God Venerable of the Spirit Hall Empire. If your dowry is too small when you marry, people will think I'm reluctant to part with you."

Hu Liena's lips moved slightly.

She wanted to say that Shen Yichen didn't care about any of this.

That person sent Eighteen Betrothal Gifts; any one of the first ten could make the Divine Realm bow down. Why would he care about gold, silver, jewels, Soul Bone, or elixirs?

But I couldn't bring myself to say it.

Because she knew very well that what Bibi Dong had prepared was not for Shen Yichen, but for her.

The teacher wasn't comparing who had more treasures; he was telling the entire continent that Hu Liena's marriage from the Spirit Hall wasn't without its own legacy.

She has a master or sect.

I have a home.

Hu Liena's eyes felt a little hot, and she quickly looked away.

"Teacher."

Bibi Dong reached out and tidied the hair at her temple.

"The ten main halls are already filled with gold, silver, jewels, top-grade Soul Bone, elixirs, Soul Tool, and several ceremonial artifacts that the Spirit Hall has treasured over the years. Take them all with you."

Hu Liena said softly, "Too much."

"Is it a lot?"

Bibi Dong smiled.

"Not much. I can't compete with the dowry Shen Yichen gave you, but I can't let him think that our Nana is unloved."

Hu Liena was really starting to lose her composure.

She had already become a god, and shouldn't have reacted like this because of a few words, but Bibi Dong's words were hotter than the fire of the Pure Yang Cup, making her chest ache.

So this is what it feels like to be loved.

It wasn't because she was strong, it wasn't because she was useful, and it wasn't because she stood at the forefront of the Spirit Hall.

It was because she was getting married, and her teacher was reluctant to part with her.

The Xie Yue arrives at this time.

He stood outside the palace gate, looking at the hall filled with red silk and chests of dowry, and his eyes immediately reddened.

Hu Liena's heart skipped a beat when she saw him.

broken.

My brother looks even more difficult to deal with than Tang San wielding his Trident.

"Nana."

Xie Yue walked up to her, his voice a little hoarse when he spoke.

"After you get married, you must take good care of yourself."

Hu Liena nodded.

"I will."

Xie Yue stared at her, as if he had a lot to say, but after holding it in for a long time, he only managed to utter one sentence.

"If that Shen Yichen dares to bully you, I'll risk my life to get justice for you."

The hall fell silent.

Yue Guan's lips twitched, and she quickly lowered her head, pretending not to hear.

Even the Gui Mei fell silent.

Looking at Xie Yue's earnest, reddened eyes, Hu Liena suddenly felt like laughing and crying at the same time.

Her brother can barely catch her tail now, yet he still dares to say he wants to seek justice from Shen Yichen.

Is that stupid?

stupid.

It's also warm.

She stepped forward and reached out to hug Xie Yue.

"Brother, he won't bully me."

Xie Yue stiffened for a moment, then raised his hand and patted her back.

"That won't do. If he makes you suffer, come back. The Spirit Hall will always be your home."

Hu Liena buried her face in his shoulder, her voice lowered.

"Um."

She didn't tell Xie Yue that someone like Shen Yichen probably had no idea how to bully her.

That person only knows one thing: to crush anyone who tries to bully her.

Extremely domineering.

It also gives you an almost unbearable sense of security.

Three days later.

Taixu Temple on Tiandang Mountain.

Ye Lingling ran through the courtyard carrying a stack of red "double happiness" characters. She had just pasted one up when Bai Chenxiang called her back.

"It's crooked!"

Ye Lingling was taken aback and took two steps back to look.

Where is it crooked?

Bai Chenxiang pointed to the door frame.

"The left side is too low."

Ye Lingling stared for a long time, then slowly pursed her lips.

"I think it's pretty good."

Bai Chenxiang hands on hips.

"You're a doctor, not a craftsman. Listen to me."

Ye Lingling was momentarily speechless, so she had no choice but to peel off the "double happiness" character and re-paste it.

She thought to herself, "If I'd known, decorating the wedding room would be more troublesome than rescuing someone."

Saving someone at least means knowing where the wound is, but pasting up a "double happiness" character requires Bai Chenxiang to watch it closely, making sure it's not too high or too low.

But the corners of her mouth remained curved in a smile.

Taixu Temple hasn't been this lively in a long time.

Red lanterns hung all over the corridor, the window frames were wiped clean, the prayer cushions were replaced with new ones, and red ribbons were tied to the old pine tree in the courtyard.

Bai Chenxiang moved quickly, its movements so fast it almost left a shadow behind.

Ye Lingling was in charge of the details, cleaning the desk, Alchemy Room, and bridal chamber until they were spotless.

They all knew this was no ordinary wedding.

This is the Celestial Master Grand Wedding.

This was also the day that Taixu Temple truly welcomed its female master.

Thinking of this, Ye Lingling moved even more gently.

My teacher's wife is coming.

She used to just say it as a joke, Hu Liena would glare at her, but now it's almost become a reality.

Hey.

This feels really good.

Where should this be hung?

Gu Yuena's voice came from behind.

Ye Lingling turned around and saw the silver-haired woman carrying a string of red lanterns, her face very serious, so serious it was almost dangerous.

Bai Chenxiang quickly ran over.

"Senior Gu Yuena, this cannot be hung on the Lotus Platform platform."

Gu Yuena glanced down.

"Why?"

The Bai Chenxiang is stuck.

She didn't know how to explain why lanterns couldn't be hung on the cultivation Lotus Platform at human weddings.

It's not that it's absolutely impossible, but it would look really strange to hang it up.

Ye Lingling suppressed a laugh.

"Senior, the bridal chamber is short of lanterns."

Gu Yuena nodded and turned to walk towards the bridal chamber.

She stopped halfway there.

"Are human weddings always this complicated?"

Ye Lingling thought for a moment.

"Not entirely. It's mainly because it's the Celestial Master Master's wedding; we can't just do it casually."

Gu Yuena responded with an "oh".

She didn't actually understand the purpose of these red silk lanterns. In the eyes of the Dragon Clan, a pact was enough as long as the power, bloodline, and heaven and earth recognized it.

But since Shen Yichen wants to marry Hu Liena, and she's at the Taixu Temple, she should help him.

Moreover, she also wanted to see what kind of wedding could make someone like Shen Yichen have worldly desires.

Mountain summit.

Shen Yichen stood under the pine tree, gazing in the direction of Spirit City, his sleeves fluttering gently in the wind.

He could hear everything clearly: Ye Lingling and Bai Chenxiang were arguing in the courtyard about whether the "double happiness" character was crooked, and Gu Yuena was holding a lantern, unsure where to hang it.

He ignored it.

This kind of liveliness is quite nice.

After a century of seclusion, Taixu Temple has become too quiet.

It was so quiet that even the rustling of pine needles in the wind sounded like an old friend talking.

Now, with the sudden addition of some worldly warmth, his Daoist heart, long detached from worldly affairs, slowly began to warm up.

The Red Dust Heart Refining.

It turns out it wasn't about going down the mountain to kill a few people, nor was it about witnessing all the life and death in the world.

Some people would argue for ages over a crooked "double happiness" sticker, some would stuff her dowry of ten grand halls, some would say with red eyes, "Don't suffer," and he, standing here, actually wondered if she would laugh if she saw all this.

Shen Yichen's lips curved slightly.

"It takes ten years of cultivation to share a boat ride, and a hundred years to share a pillow in sleep."

He gazed into the distance, his voice very soft.

"Hu Liena, the karma between us is finally coming to a perfect end."
