The Grand Duke of Stromgarde and the Ashbringer are getting married!
The news quickly spread to Lordaeron, Quel'Thalas, Ironforge and Stormwind City, and even to another world across the ocean.
" Nicholas is getting married? That little guy, he's only 17? We're over ten thousand years old..." Tyrande turned to look at Malfurion standing beside her, her face full of longing.
"Hmm, a month from now. We definitely need to make time for his wedding. By the way, what gift should we prepare?" Malfurion was a little troubled, then his eyes lit up. "Let Cenarius this out! He's Nicholas's teacher, he'll definitely have to go!"
Tyrande glared fiercely at Malfurion, her expression full of resentment.
Malfurion, oblivious to the situation, now wore a worried expression. "Where has Fandral Staghelm gone? Has he hidden in the Emerald Dream? Or somewhere in the world? Alas, who would have thought he would betray us? He was my best student, without a doubt..."
In the distance, Broll and Hamuul approached together, having something to report.
Upon hearing Malfurion's words, they exchanged a glance and noticed that the other's face was rather dark, as dark as charcoal.
" Nicholas is getting married? In a month? That's plenty of time. I'm going to create the best wedding gift for them!"
In Ironforge, King Magni, upon hearing the news from the Gryphon Rider, smiled with delight, then muttered under his breath, "He's only 17? Young man, so impatient! How old was I when I got married? Over a hundred? Or two hundred?"
He suddenly sighed again, his face showing sorrow, anxiety, and longing. " Moira, my daughter, where are you? Have you really been captured by the Dark Iron Dwarves? Thaurissan, that wretched fellow, I'll get you sooner or later! Oh, and this time at the wedding, I must have a good talk with Nicholas and persuade him to send troops to attack Blackrock Spire!"
" Nicholas, how could you get married?" In Silvermoon City, Sylvanas gazed southward, her teeth grinding together. "We haven't killed Arthas yet! We haven't destroyed the Burning Legion! How could you get married! I haven't even gotten married yet, how could you get married!"
In Theramore, Jaina held the recently extinguished image crystal, lost in thought, " Nicholas is getting married! He's really getting married! Fenna, I just found out that you're my sister, my dear sister, such a wonderful sister..."
King's Hall, Royal Palace of Lordaeron.
" Nicholas is getting married? How dare you get married? You are the Duke of Lordaeron, how can you get married without my permission?" Calia sat on the throne, distraught, muttering to herself.
Marquis Lawrence gave him a wink, Arcanist Doan shuddered and quickly left.
"Your Majesty, you really should consider the matter of marriage," Marquis Lawrence said cautiously. " The House Menethil only has you left; it's time to bestow a prince title. The royal bloodline of Lordaeron must continue."
Calia remained silent, and Marquis Lawrence sighed inwardly before quietly withdrawing.
After a long silence, Calia's expression changed, as if she had finally made up her mind. " Daphne."
The maidservant came over and answered.
"Go find me a medicine that is colorless and odorless, and cannot be detected by anyone, absolutely cannot be detected... Also, order Grand Duke Nicholas to come to me immediately, and tell him... tell him that I want to discuss preparations for the Northern Expedition with him," Calia said.
The young maid, intelligent and perceptive, understood Her Majesty's meaning, gasped in surprise, and quickly covered her mouth.
She hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should prepare two portions.
The Grand Duke of Stromgarde is getting married, which is of course a major event, something that will be discussed throughout the entire Eastern Kingdoms for a whole month.
But the two people involved in this major event completely ignored everything else, spending their days together, their nights filled with revelry, their love as inseparable as glue.
It wasn't all those shameful things,
Even someone as strong as Jiang Jie sometimes needs to rest. And during his rest, he finally fulfilled his promise from a year ago and taught Fenna Chinese martial arts.
Fenna received the same treatment as the White Gorilla. Jiang Jie directly helped her open up all the meridians in her body and then taught her a very special internal skill, a skill that must be cultivated by both men and women.
Yes, it's the cultivation technique that Xiao Feng chose for Jiang Jie, and it's also one of the best cultivation techniques of the 35th century.
In an instant, the phoenix and dragon sang in harmony, and Fenna's internal energy cultivation soared like a rocket, reaching the Houtian Tenth Layer in less than a month.
That's not all.
In this Yin-Yang dual cultivation technique, the one with higher cultivation level will help the one with lower cultivation level. With Jiang Jie's cultivation level as True Unity Earth Immortal, his help to Fenna was naturally extremely strong. She actually broke through the bottleneck directly, returned to the Xiantian Houtian, and became an Xiantian martial artist.
Fenna's Xiantian cultivation level nearly doubled her strength. Now, even without Ashbringer, but with an ordinary Paladin sword, Fenna would probably be no weaker than Old Mograine.
The only pity is that Fenna is still a bit short of becoming Legendary; it may take a few more months, or it may take a few more years.
Nobody can say for sure.
Dual cultivation also improved Jiang Jie himself.
He is currently in the True Unity Realm; the next realm is called " Two Aspects ".
The Two Aspects refer to Yin and Two Aspects, two opposing yet complementary forces.
Male and female are the simplest and most direct Two Aspects Yin and Yang.
Jiang Jie's body began to slowly harmonize Yin and Yang, preparing for the next step and laying a solid foundation.
Therefore, the demons' fights every night, and even many times during the day, were not Jiang Jie's momentary pleasure, but mainly for cultivation; everything was for cultivation.
Yes, that's it.
Everything is fine.
The only downside was that Jiang Jie had sent a message to Lilian, asking her to take charge of the wedding preparations, but that little girl went crazy for some reason and ran off to the Ravenholdt Manor without a word, saying she was going to learn the skills of a master thief.
Is that girl making progress that fast?
Fortunately, Paltress and Oryx were still there, and so many merchants were eager to provide the flowers, decorations, and clothing they needed for free. With a large group of nobles helping with the planning, things wouldn't go wrong, and Jiang Jie could finally feel a little at ease.
That day, Jiang Jie was cultivating with Fenna when there was a knock on the door. He quickly dressed and a female mage walked in.
"Grand Duke, Her Majesty the Queen orders you to immediately proceed to Lordaeron to discuss preparations for the Northern Expedition," the female mage said.
" Calia? Why is she summoning me at this time?"
Jiang Jie was a little puzzled, but he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go soon."
