Why Waste Words on Him!
Luo Yang took the red knot handed to him by the snake woman beside him, while the other end was placed in Medusa's hand.
Then, under the many watching eyes, the two slowly walked toward the raised platform.
The ninety-nine snake women who had originally followed behind Medusa began performing the Dance of Blessing under Yue Mei's lead.
Among the Snake-People Tribe, this dance was only performed on momentous occasions. Nor could just any snake woman perform it; only those selected from thousands, with top-tier figures, looks, and aptitude, were permitted.
And Yue Mei was the finest dancer of the Dance of Blessing.
That was why she had been chosen as today's lead dancer.
Even Hua She'er, who was only slightly inferior to her, could only serve as a supporting dancer.
"My queen, did you miss me during these seven days apart?"
Luo Yang quietly edged a little closer to Medusa and began teasing her in a low voice.
Beneath her bridal robe and embroidered cape, Medusa's figure was voluptuous and exquisite, like a ripe peach, exuding a faint, alluring charm. Her glossy black hair was tied up high.
Beneath her swaying skirt, a snow-white, jade-like foot in a red high heel appeared, extending and withdrawing with each step, inexplicably making both of them feel a little hot all over.
Luo Yang still vividly remembered that sensual scene seven days ago.
I really want to pull these clothes open and take a good look...
"Hmph... miss you? You really are full of yourself. We only met once that day. I can't even remember what you look like anymore..." Medusa gave a haughty snort. Even on their wedding day, she refused to give Luo Yang a pleasant look.
But probably only Medusa herself knew what she truly thought.
"Hehe..."
Luo Yang smiled without speaking.
Medusa could not hide those little thoughts from him.
The Little Sky Swallowing Python was 100% loyal to Luo Yang, and after merging with it, Medusa had inherited that trait.
Her mouth said no, but her body was honest.
"First, bow to the ancestors-"
Unlike the customs of human society, when the Snake-People Tribe married, they bowed to their ancestors, praying that they would protect their descendants.
Today's wedding combined the customs and rules of both humans and the Snake-People Tribe, as jointly decided by Tushan Rongrong and the Four Great Elders.
Luo Yang and Medusa bowed toward the distant Snake-People Tribe's great hall. The tribe's ancestors were buried in the secret chamber beneath it.
"Second, pay respects to your elders-"
This time, it was the bow to parents and elders shared by both Snake-People and human customs.
Holding the red knot, Luo Yang and Medusa turned toward the wedding dais and bent slightly at the waist for their second bow.
On the wedding dais, Tushan Rongrong and the fourth elder watched the two juniors below, smiling and nodding. They exchanged a knowing glance, each seeing the same gratification in the other's eyes.
"Husband and wife, bow to each-"
Just as the wedding reached its most crucial stage, the expressions of every expert present at Dou Wang level or above changed.
They all looked in the same direction.
Yue Mei stopped her Dance of Blessing, her expression darkening. After exchanging glances with several tribal commanders in the seats, she and the others tacitly spread their Dou Qi Wings and flew beyond the Snake-People Holy City.
A moment later, they reached the city walls, which were already under lockdown.
At that moment, several hundred meters beyond the walls, a gigantic magical beast hovered high in the air. Several figures also floated a short distance in front of it, and what they had sensed earlier had emanated from these people.
The figures walked through the air toward the city at an unhurried pace. A moment later, they stopped just beyond the attack range of the javelin throwers on the walls.
"Humans, why have you trespassed into our territory without permission? Today is our queen's wedding day, and bloodshed would be inappropriate, so I advise you to go back where you came from! Otherwise, you will be ground to dust in an instant!"
Watching the group of human experts in the distance, Yue Mei slowly rose into the air. Her voice carried a trace of coldness as it echoed through the sky.
"Hehe, you must be Chief Yue Mei of the Charming Snake Tribe?" Among the people hovering in the distance, a middle-aged man of distinguished bearing slowly stepped forward and asked with a smile.
"Who the fuck do you think you are? Are you worthy of calling me by name?" Gently flapping the wings behind her, Yue Mei swept an icy gaze over the middle-aged man and sneered.
After spending so much time with Luo Yang lately, she had learned plenty of ways to curse people out.
"Uh... I am Gu He." Gu He had not expected Yue Mei to have such a venomous tongue. He smiled slightly and spoke softly.
Seeing Yue Mei and the other tribal commanders all present, Gu He realized just how right he had been to invite an additional Dou Huang expert this time.
"Hehe, commanders, pardon my presumptuous visit to your esteemed tribe. I merely have something to discuss with Queen Medusa. Might I ask Her Majesty to come out for a conversation?" Gu He cupped his hands, his manner exceedingly courteous.
"You want to see Her Majesty? Hehe, today is Her Majesty's wedding day. Do you think you can see her just because you want to? Get lost. If you anger the groom later, you can tell your villagers to come to your funeral feast!"
Yue Mei rejected Gu He's request without the slightest hesitation.
"Old He, why waste words on her? Let's fight our way in first!!!" Yan Shi stepped forward, rubbing his hands together, already prepared to act.
"You think I'm afraid of you? I can't beat that fellow, but you think I can't handle you?" Mo Bass had been putting up with Gu He's group long enough. Once Yan Shi spoke, he could no longer endure it. He formed a spear between his palms and charged.
They were only a few Dou Wangs. Every one of the Eight Great Commanders was a Dou Wang.
"Ahahaha! A beast is still a beast! All brawn and no brains!" Yan Shi also drew his weapon and clashed with Mo Bass.
Metal struck metal in a fierce ringing of blows.
"Ah, I really didn't come here to fight..." Gu He sighed.
Composing himself again, Gu He infused his voice with Dou Qi and sent it into the Snake-People Holy City.
"Your Majesty Queen Medusa, I am Gu He of the Jia Ma Empire. I have not come here to wage war against your esteemed tribe. I merely have something to discuss with you. Please come out to meet me!"
His voice rolled through the city, only gradually fading after quite some time.
As it faded, silence fell both inside and outside the walls. Even after a long while, there was still no response.
Seeing this, Gu He frowned slightly. Yet just as he was about to call out again, the space high above the city walls suddenly began twisting strangely.
At this sight, Gu He and his companions were slightly startled. Even Yan Shi and Mo Bass, who had been fighting, stopped and stared solemnly at the distorted space.
High in the sky, the blazing sunlight shone down, refracting into rainbow hues where it struck the distorted space.
The next second, a figure with a red bridal veil over her head and a scarlet wedding robe on her body slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.
Her jade-like feet, clad in red-gold high heels, stepped through empty air, making clicking sounds as though she were walking across a marble floor.
Walking through the air without Dou Qi Wings...
A Dou Zong expert!!!!
The expressions of Gu He and his companions changed instantly.
