"First, bow to heaven and earth!"
Inside the enormous Palace, Yun Chang and Jiang Yingying stood in the center in their wedding attire, their faces wreathed in smiles. Off to one side, Ancestor Yanyu called out loudly.
As the Dao Alliance's Alliance Leader, Ancestor Yanyu was responsible for presiding over the wedding ceremony.
Yun Chang and Jiang Yingying immediately bowed to heaven and earth.
"Wonderful!"
"Congratulations, Uncle Yun! Congratulations, Aunt Jiang!"
Everyone offered their congratulations with smiles.
Ancestor Yanyu pressed both hands down, then continued, "Second, bow to your elders!"
Seated in the places of honor were Qin Hao, Mu Ziqing, and Jiang Yuanhe.
An elder brother was like a father, and an elder sister-in-law like a mother. Qin Hao and Mu Ziqing received this bow as Yun Chang's elders.
Jiang Yuanhe was Jiang Yingying's father.
All three wore smiles.
Yun Chang and Jiang Yingying turned and bowed deeply to them.
"Husband and wife, bow to each other!"
Ancestor Yanyu called out again.
Yun Chang and Jiang Yingying each took a deep breath, then bowed to one another.
A wave of commotion swept through the hall!
With that bow, the great hall grew even livelier.
"Off to the bridal chamber! Off to the bridal chamber!" someone shouted.
"Hahaha! Uncle Yun, Aunt Jiang, when are you going to give us a little brother or sister?" Qin Ming laughed and joined the teasing.
"You little rascal." Yun Chang shot Qin Ming a glare, then chuckled sheepishly. "Soon, soon."
Jiang Yingying reached out with her right hand and pinched Yun Chang hard.
"Ow, ow!" Yun Chang hurriedly cried.
Jiang Yingying pursed her lips, then smiled too.
Of course she knew Yun Chang was pretending. How could a dignified half-step true god possibly be hurt by a pinch like that?
Everyone burst into laughter.
