Night had fallen, and stars dotted the deep sky.
Beneath this tranquil expanse, a blazing bonfire burned in the center of the square, like a sacred beacon from an ancient ritual, staining the night with a warm, mysterious crimson glow.
The flames danced like nature's most passionate performers, twirling across the stage of the night and gently wrapping everything around them in their embrace.
In the firelight, every face in the square appeared vivid and distinct, bearing rare joy and anticipation. The onlookers chatted excitedly among themselves, breaking into happy laughter from time to time and adding a little more cheer to the night.
The air was filled with the scent of burning wood, mingled with the occasional aroma of food drifting over from afar, forming a warm scene brimming with the feeling of everyday life.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the raised platform that had originally been used for sacrifices had been redecorated. White Spider Lilies bloomed around it, while colorful ribbons fluttered through the air.
Zhu Ou linked her arm through Kazeli's as they slowly stepped onto the platform from behind.
They wore splendid white formalwear and a wedding gown, their smiles all the more radiant in the firelight. The two looked like a perfect couple straight out of a fairy tale, as though the entire world had fallen still just to witness this pure love and happy moment.
A trace of irrepressible excitement showed through Kazeli's calm expression, while Zhu Ou's cheeks were flushed, yet the hand holding Kazeli's did not waver in the slightest.
These changes had not been difficult to arrange. Whether it was Kazeli or Li Si, either of them could easily create this scene with Creation Magic.
The townspeople's eyes were full of admiration and blessings. They applauded and cheered, offering their finest wishes
