Primordial World's First Marriage, Wedding Night
Four or five hundred years later, Di Jun, Taiyi, and Changxi also arrived.
Next were Daoist Shaoyang, Junior Brother Hao, and Junior Sister Yao.
The junior disciples brought their master's blessings and told Wu Chu that he wouldn't be coming in person, and that his avatar would take his place.
Following them were the Three Clans, as well as some creatures that Wu Chu did not recognize.
Although Wu Chu did not invite the Three Clans, the matter gradually reached Three Clans ears, and each Three Clans sent people over to join in the fun.
The Dragon Clan sent Yinglong the Old Thief, and the Qilin Clan sent Feng Wu Feng Hen. Accompanying them were Qingqiu Chen and several other Qingqiu Fox.
From the Phoenix Clan came Feng Xi and Qingluan; thankfully, Feng Li didn't come.
Those creatures unfamiliar to Wu Chu mostly came because of its reputation, wanting to experience the delicious food of Purple Jade Mountain and also to witness what a 'wedding' is like.
In addition, there were a group of Qingqiu Fox who came from Qingqiu, the tribal shamans of the Houtu Tribe, and the Ancestral Witch who were invited by Houtu to observe the ceremony.
"Brother A Chu, it's just becoming Daoist partners, why make it so complicated?"
The one who asked this question was the straightforward Zhurong brothers, and their thoughts were not much different from those of Zhen Yuanzi and the others.
The other Ancestral Witch nodded in agreement; clearly, they felt that Wu Chu was being too slow in his work.
The Wood Ancestral Witch, Jumang and said, "Exactly! Didn't Houtu already knock you out and carry you back? Now you're pulling this stunt again, you wouldn't..."
Houtu glanced over, causing Jumang to obediently stop talking.
After all, it wasn't Houtu who knocked Wu Chu unconscious and carried him away back then.
Seeing this, Zhurong Dijiang could only chuckle foolishly and try to get away with it by being cute.
The group arrived at the Main Hall and exchanged greetings with the powerful Daluo experts Main Hall.
Looking at these future bigwigs present, Wu Chu didn't know what to say.
The future Sage, the future Demon Clan emperor, the future Demon Clan emperor's mortal enemy, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the future Ancestor of Earth Immortals, the future head of male immortals, the future Heavenly Emperor and empress, and the future emperor...
Who would have imagined that these people would one day gather together, chatting, raising their glasses in toasts, and even singing and dancing?
Who could imagine that these people would one day cause such a cataclysmic battle? That the Heaven Pillar would collapse, the earth's axis would break, the sky would tilt to the northwest, and floods would engulf the southeast?
Aside from Wu Chu and Yibao, I believe no one else would know this. Even if they searched for their future throughout the River of Time, they probably wouldn't see anything.
"Newcomers come to the palace!"
Several years later, one day, the weather was clear and cloudless.
With a loud chant from Hong Yun, Wu Chu, dressed in a Big Red groom's attire, appeared before the crowd, Houtu two ladies, Houtu and Fox Ancestress, who were also dressed in Big Red brides.
The bride and groom's attire was woven from crimson clouds and drawn with gold threads. The groom's attire was embroidered with the Moon Star, while the bride's attire was embroidered with mountains and rivers, representing heaven and earth respectively.
The bride's long outer robe trailed on the ground, and a row of Little Flower Fairies waved their tiny hands, controlling the petals, which, carrying the fragrance of flowers, slowly danced and drifted down from the air.
Another row of Little Flower Fairies played a festive melody.
A red carpet was laid out in front of the Main Hall, extending all the way to the high seat Main Hall.
At one end of the red carpet, there was an altar for worshipping heaven and earth, with an incense burner on the altar burning incense and various offerings in front of it.
At the other end of the carpet sat an avatar of the patriarch on a high seat. After Wu Chu informed his patriarch that the wedding ceremony was about to begin, Hongjun brought the avatar to life.
Hong Yun was pulled in by Wu Chu to be the officiant at the wedding. In order to become the officiant, Hong Yun, Zhen Yuanzi, Fuxi and Taiyi all competed for the position.
Hao watched from the side, not daring to act rashly, even though he also wanted to be one.
Nuwa and Yao, along with Little Moon Spirit, the Little Fox, and other creatures from Purple Jade Mountain, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Di Jun and Changxi, and the young Daoist, watched curiously.
In front of these people, Kua and Yi could only stand behind them.
The three apprentices, along with their few small pets, huddled in a corner, not daring to cause any trouble.
As for other living beings, it goes without saying.
This was the first time they had ever witnessed such a formal marriage ceremony... Although Wu Chu called it a marriage, in their eyes, this was simply a marriage ceremony.
So naturally, everyone was quite curious.
"The newlyweds prepare to bow to heaven and earth!"
The three turned around and knelt down in front of the incense table outside the Main Hall.
With hands clasped together, Wu Chu solemnly and solemnly said, "On this auspicious day, Wu Chu, Primordial World being, together with Qingqiu Li Houtu, here offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth..."
Then Qingqiu Li and Houtu also spoke, and the three of them said in unison, "We are willing to become husband and wife, to be of one heart and mind, to be inseparable in life and death, and to never betray each other... May Heaven and Earth bear witness."
After the three finished speaking, they knelt and bowed in the direction of the incense table, and then stood up.
The expected Merit did not come, which puzzled Wu Chu.
Then they heard Hong Yun call out, "Second bow to the parents!"
So Wu Chu had no choice but to calm themselves down and get the marriage done first.
The three turned around, went into the Main Hall, and knelt down before the avatar of their patriarch.
The old ancestor stroked his beard and said a few words of encouragement.
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
Finally, the incredibly simple wedding process came to an end. However, no Merit arrived, leaving Wu Chu with a somewhat unsatisfactory feeling.
However, as Wu Chu led the two women out of the back door of the Main Hall and walked towards the small courtyard behind it, a Merit Golden Light descended and engulfed the three of them.
Faced with this situation, everyone except Wu Chu was dumbfounded, including Qingqiu Li and Houtu, who were enveloped in the Merit Golden Light.
Wu Chu was overjoyed. Sure enough, they were the first officially married couple on this Primordial Land, which was why Heavenly Dao had bestowed such Merit upon them.
"Hahaha..." Wu Chu laughed loudly, "We are indeed a match made in heaven, even the heavens and earth are celebrating for us!"
"He really was born that way!"
Gonggong said with a hint of sourness, "Watching my beloved Houtu marry someone else and receive blessings from heaven and earth, my heart is so sour."
Hearing this from not far away, Taiyi laughed and said, "What's so strange about that? Aren't all the countless creatures in the Primordial World born and raised by nature?"
Everyone nodded; that seemed to make sense!
Di Jun and Changxi watched silently from the side, then exchanged a glance. Di Jun quietly reached out and took Changxi's soft hand. Changxi glanced cautiously at the crowd around her and only breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that no one was paying attention to their little action.
They were unaware that the title of 'first marriage' should have originally belonged to them.
Xuanming Girl laughed and said, "That's not surprising. Didn't we also receive Merit when we worshipped the Father God last time?"
Upon hearing this, Dijiang nodded and said, "No wonder Brother A Chu always said that life sometimes needs a sense of ritual and can't be too casual. How about we hold a similar ceremony when the little ones in our clan get together in the future?"
Qiangliang laughed and said, "I must say, it's actually quite fun! I'll try it with Fengmei when I get back!"
The "Feng Mei" that Qiang Liang mentioned was none other than the Great Witch Jiu Feng, who was known as the number one witch below the Ancestral Witches, because she also had Pangu's essence blood in her body, but she was not as powerful as Qiang Liang.
Therefore, among all the Great Witch, Jiufeng's strength is able to remain number one.
"You absolutely must invite us to the ceremony!"
"Speaking of which, didn't you and Jiufeng already become Daoist partners?"
"Brother A Chu said this isn't about forming a couple, it's called marriage."
" To Jumang at dusk, and then send them to their bridal chamber..." Jumang chuckled, "Brother A Chu really knows how to play!"
The Ancestral Witch glanced at Jumang and then distanced themselves from him.
After all, the Little Flower Fairies around him were clearly looking at Jumang with eyes that screamed "pervert," so it was best to keep a distance. The Daluo Realm experts, too, were getting playful and quietly put some distance between themselves and him.
Jumang glanced at the crowd, wanting to call them 'hypocrites,' but seeing the adorable Little Flower Fairies frowning at him, he had to swallow his words.
On the other hand, after accepting the enormous sum of Merit, Wu Chu sent Qingqiu Li and Houtu back to his own small courtyard.
That Merit was in no way inferior to the Merit gained from the sacrifice to Pangu. However, Wu Chu immediately gave the Merit to Yibao to strengthen her Indestructible Spirit Light.
Then, the three of them drank a cup of nuptial wine. This kind of double blessing, where one person has two wives, can only fool these simple-minded ancient gods who don't understand the concept of monogamy.
"So, is the wedding ceremony over?"
After the three drank the nuptial wine, Miss Houtu asked Wu Chu a question.
Wu Chu coughed lightly and said, "Isn't there still the final step—the wedding night?"
Houtu hearing this, Miss Houtu nodded, and then looked at Qingqiu Li.
Qingqiu Li shook her head and said, "Not today, let's start from tomorrow!"
In Qingqiu Li's view, today is, after all, their wedding day. Even if we were to count the days as 'Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday', it shouldn't start from today.
Of course, Wu Chu had no idea what they meant and was looking at his two wives with complete bewilderment!
Of course, he dared not distinguish between them, lest the two start arguing again. They were both Daluo, and if they really fought, Purple Jade Mountain could be torn down in no time.
"..."
Just as Wu Chu was about to ask them, Houtu looked at him and asked, "Don't you need to go out and thank everyone?"
"We could also go and offer everyone a toast as a token of our gratitude."
Wu Chu nodded and said, "After all, these people all brought congratulatory gifts!"
And so, Wu Chu took them out to thank the guests who had come to their wedding and received a bunch of strange and wonderful blessings.
At this time, there are no sayings like "May you be born with a noble name and have a long and happy marriage," but rather encouragement to "cultivate oneself diligently" is common.
The same kind of talk was made by the avatar of Ancestor Hongjun before.
However, after Wu Chu and the others' wedding ended and a wave of Merit descended, the ancestor's avatar reverted to Puppet and flew back to the offering table on its own.
Wu Chu wanted to give these fellow Daoists and Ancestral Witch a bad review for their strange blessings. He had already said "eternal union" before, but they didn't know how to apply it.
