Just then, two people walked into the Pope's Palace as if it were empty. The one in front had silver hair cascading down her back and wore a pristine white dress, while the other had long, wavy, light blue hair and wore a white outfit.
Yue Yi watched the two enter, she stood up from her seat, pointed at the girl with pink and blue hair and long wavy hair, and said softly, "Auntie, here, here, Yue Yi is here."
Hearing Yue Yi's voice, everyone's gaze involuntarily turned towards the door. Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong had already noticed the two people approaching, and the Silver-haired Woman at the head of the group gave them a sense of unfathomable depth.
Jun Xuehan looked at the two people approaching, a smile always on her face, and said, "Sister, Qiu'er, you've arrived."
Gu Yuena glanced around, nodded slightly, and said, "Today is your big day. As your older sister, I have to be there. We're not too late, are we?"
Jun Xuehan wasn't surprised by Gu Yuena's arrival. Three days prior, Jun Xuehan had used her Spatial Power to return to the Star Dou Great Forest and inform Gu Yuena of the situation.
With Gu Yuena's strength, going from the Star Dou Great Forest to Spirit City would be a matter of minutes.
"It's not late, not late at all, the timing is just right. Aren't we just about to start? Sister, please have a seat. I'll introduce you to someone later." Jun Xuehan pointed to the first table, gesturing for the two to sit down.
"Hmm." Gu Yuena nodded slightly and led Wang Qiu'er toward the first seat, but her gaze subtly swept over Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu before turning to Yue Yi.
Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu were surprised, but after hearing Jun Xuehan call this Silver-haired Woman "sister" and that the two looked seven-tenths alike, they did not ask any further questions.
After all, it's only natural for the older sister to attend on such a joyous occasion.
Gu Yuena and Wang Qiu'er had just sat down when Yue Yi got up from her seat, came to Wang Qiu'er, and said in a clear voice, "Auntie, Yue Yi missed you so much."
"Auntie, who is this older sister? She looks so much like Dad." Yue Yi looked at Gu Yuena, her big eyes blinking.
"Little Yue Yi, I miss you too. Without you, there's no one to play with your aunt." Wang Qiu'er reached out and picked up Yue Yi, a faint smile on her face.
"You should call me aunt." Gu Yuena looked Yue Yi up and down, a smile appearing in her eyes. With the connection between their Bloodline, she could sense the complete Dragon Race Bloodline in Yue Yi.
"Aunt? I think I've heard Dad and Mom mention her." Yue Yi tapped her chin, pretending to be thinking.
"Come here, let Auntie hold you." Gu Yuena chuckled and took Yue Yi from Wang Qiu'er's arms, holding her in her arms and looking her over.
Just as Jun Xuehan carried Qian Renxue to the front of the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong also stood up from her seat and scanned the entire room.
Bibi Dong stood beside the two, offering her blessings while also announcing the Bestow Marriage and proceeding with the corresponding formalities.
After all the formalities were completed, he said with a smile, "Today is the joyous day of our Spirit Hall Pope and the Saintess of the Worship Hall. From now on, regardless of your status, please drink to your heart's content."
"After the banquet, in Spirit City, every commoner household that has hung lanterns and colorful eggs will receive one hundred Gold Soul Coin."
A chorus of blessings filled the hall, a continuous stream of various well-wishes that instantly transformed the once quiet Pope's Palace into a bustling hubbub.
Pope's Palace, firecrackers exploded, creating a festive and lively atmosphere.
"Putting everything else aside, this Phoenix Coronet and Robes of Rank are truly beautiful." Hu Liena said with a smile as she looked at the Phoenix Coronet and Robes of Rank worn by Qian Renxue.
"Yes, I agree with that." Tang Lingling nodded in agreement.
"It's just Phoenix Coronet and Robes of Rank. I might not be able to get one that gorgeous, but I can manage something a little less glamorous if I try." Zong Ming said thoughtfully, his hands behind his head.
"At least you said something sensible." Tang Lingling glanced at Zong Ming and said calmly.
Xie Yue reached out and picked up a bottle of wine. He lifted his fingers slightly, uncorked the bottle, and looked at Jun Xuehan with an eager expression.
"Hey, Xie Yue, what are you planning to do?" Yan asked, looking at Xie Yue's expression.
"What else can we do? Drink contests. Even if we can't compete in talent and strength, we might be able to win a round at the drinking table." Xie Yue glanced at Yan and said seriously.
"Hmm... that makes sense." Yan nodded, picking up a bottle of wine as well, ready to be at any moment.
"I advise you to give up this idea. Back then, the seven of us took turns drinking from him, and none of us could outdrink him," Zong Ming said quietly as he watched their actions.
Upon hearing this, Tang Lingling glared at Zong Ming, but said nothing more.
Jun Xuehan, carrying Qian Renxue, walked back to the first table, sat down, looked at Gu Yuena, and introduced her, "Sister, let me introduce you. This is my teacher and my mother-in-law: Bibi Dong. And this is my wife's grandfather, Qian Daoliu."
"Teacher, Grandpa, this is my older sister, Gu Yuena, and my younger sister, Wang Qiu'er."
Jun Xuehan gestured to both parties, introducing them with a faint smile in her voice.
After exchanging slight nods as a greeting, the two did not engage in further conversation.
As the banquet began, a constant stream of noise filled the air. Elders and worshippers toasted each other, while Jun Xuehan and the others also picked up their chopsticks.
Looking at the delicious food on the table and at everyone eating, Yue Yi couldn't help but swallow hard. Then, she silently picked up her Milk Bottle and started drinking.
Yan and Xie Yue, with wicked grins on their faces, walked over with bottles of liquor and said, "Brother Han, on such a popular day, shall we have a few drinks?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan smiled, raised her wine glass, and gestured, "Come on, let's have a couple of drinks."
After downing two bottles of wine, Yan put down the bottle in his hand, looked at Yue Yi, and asked, "Brother Han, who is this little girl?"
Jun Xuehan smiled nonchalantly and said, "This is my daughter, Yue Yi. Isn't she beautiful?"
Yan and Xie Yue exchanged a glance, nodded at the same time, and praised, "Beautiful, you look just like Brother Han, you're definitely a beauty in the making."
