With a deafening roar, a 160,000-year-old Soul Beast, about five meters long and three meters tall at the shoulder, collapsed to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, one can see that it has two long fangs on its huge head.
The culprit was dressed in a black suit. Beside him, a handsome man pulled a sharp blade from the head of the Golden Blazing Pig and then sat cross-legged on the ground.
He closed his eyes and drew the floating crimson Soul Ring towards him.
Half an hour passed, and as an aura burst forth, the nearby birds and beasts scattered in fright and flew away. Of course, some of the older Soul Beast only looked up and gazed into the distance.
A slightly uneasy expression appeared on their faces, and they let out low growls.
Opening his eyes, Cao Yu finally broke through to the Soul Douluo level, but he was still some distance from level 84 and needed to work harder.
"Let's go, it's time to head back."
After searching for a few hundred meters, I mounted the old green ox and left the Star Dou Great Forest without looking back.
In the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, a group of Ferocious Beast gathered together.
The Xiong Jun, as muscular as a mountain, bared its teeth and said, "Those damn humans have gotten stronger again."
Their gazes were fixed on the distance, where the powerful air currents still lingered, and they all knew very well whose handiwork it was.
Crimson flames swirled around its three heads. The Scarlet King, looking somewhat saddened, said to Di Tian, "Since Little Gold has decided to marry this human, Boss, hasn't she betrayed us?"
Bi Ji, standing nearby, couldn't help but remark, " Soul Beast marrying humans, isn't that something that actually happens?"
Di Tian turned his head and asked, "Oh, so you're saying, Bi Ji, you're supporting Little Gold in doing this?"
"After all... after all, Little Gold has grown up now, and I think she should be able to make these decisions herself."
A few days later, the entire Star Luo City was abuzz with excitement because of the Cao Clan's wedding.
Because so many people came, the Cao Clan family temporarily removed the two main gates.
Butler Uncle Li, along with many other members of the Cao Clan, stayed outside to greet the guests attending the wedding banquet.
Two large, bright red lanterns hung from the thick door beam, swaying gently in the breeze. Because it was still daylight, the light from the oil lamps inside was very faint.
"Time flies! In the blink of an eye, Young Master Cao is getting married. We've watched him grow up."
"Who can argue with that? Besides, this Young Master Cao is truly blessed; he's married to such beautiful women."
The uncles and aunts who were familiar with Cao Yu also came over to help out and, incidentally, to have a drink at the wedding.
After all, everyone wanted to share in the Cao Clan's good fortune, and the Cao Clan, of course, did not refuse, and politely welcomed them inside.
Then they accepted the betrothal gifts brought by each person. Some people gave more, and some gave less, but the amount was entirely up to everyone's wishes, and there were no strict requirements.
"Welcome, everyone, please come in."
Butler Uncle Li reached out and welcomed them inside, his face beaming with a bright smile.
At this moment, passersby couldn't help but joke, " Butler Li, we'll go in first then, you stay here and get back to your work."
"Haha, there's some good wine prepared for everyone inside, so please go in first."
"Okay, then we'll go in first."
Fortunately, the Cao Clan covers a large area, having been expanded several times over in recent years. The entire compound is filled with more than fifty round tables, each capable of seating up to ten people.
The seating arrangements had already been planned out: children sat together, the elderly sat together, and women and men were also separated.
Each seat had its own name affixed to it, and the Cao Clan's servants led everyone to their seats.
The food hasn't been served yet; all that's on the table are wine, snacks, and desserts.
After all, the food can only be served after the bride and groom have finished their wedding ceremony.
Every now and then, a sound would drift from outside the door, and everyone listened with great interest while cracking sunflower seeds and eating peanuts.
"The Li family, 20,000 Gold Soul Coin!"
"Master Liu, the candied hawthorn vendor, 40,000 Gold Soul Coin!"
"..."
" Shrek Academy, 6.6 million Gold Soul Coin, six 50,000-year Soul Bone, five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, three 100,000-year-old Subduing Dragon Herb, ten 10,000-year-old Subduing Dragon Herb,..."
Wow, that's something!
The gifts brought by the Shrek Academy were placed in several Storage Ring and handed over to the person in charge by Xuan Zi.
The person in charge of the Shrek Academy alone read for at least four or five minutes before stopping.
How much good stuff must they be carrying?
Especially those three 100,000-year-old herbs, and ten 10,000-year-old Subduing Dragon Herb.
This is a very nutritious food!
They were really willing to spend so much, after all, these things can't be bought on the market, which shows that Shrek Academy has a very good relationship with Young Master Cao.
The Star Luo Imperial Family, Tang Sect, Luo Clan of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect... none of them need to bring betrothal gifts, since they are the bride's family; if they are to bring anything, it should be a dowry.
Otherwise, the bride price this time might have been even more generous.
The voices outside continued to read out the dowry money given by each person, one after another. The gate of the Cao Clan was almost worn down by the crowd, but many people still poured in.
As the music played, firecrackers outside the door crackled and popped incessantly.
Xu Jiawei even brought over a few cannons, making the sound even louder.
Many children covered their ears tightly, but could not hide the joy on their faces; after all, children love to watch a good show.
This is also in children's nature.
Around 11 a. m., the bride and groom came out one after another.
But seeing this scene, everyone was inevitably taken aback.
Not far away, there were thirteen brides: Tang Ya, Ning Tian, and Xu Jiujiu, who had made a marriage agreement when they were children.
And Jiang Nannan, whom I met later, as well as Wang Dong'er, Wang Qiu'er, Ma Xiaotao, Xiao Xiao, and Luo Yan, whom I met at Shrek Academy.
Then came Meng Hongchen, Ju Zi, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress.
However, their faces were all covered with red cloth, so their features were not clearly visible.
"This Young Master Cao is truly a winner in life!"
After everyone expressed their admiration, the wedding ceremony quickly began.
In the main hall, the old man, Cao Xiang and Luo Lingyun, a married couple, sat on the left, while Xu Jiawei sat on the right.
This moment also perfectly illustrates what it means for an elder brother to be like a father.
"The groom, Cao Yu, and the bride Xu Jiujiu, perform the kneeling bow ceremony."
"First bow to Heaven and Earth, second bow to parents, husband and wife bow to each other!"
Xu Jiawei helped the two up, then said to Cao Yu:
"Haha! Get up, everyone."
" Little Yu, remember to treat Jiujiu well from now on, or I won't let you off the hook."
I'm entrusting my sister to you from now on.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, with me here, she'll be fine."
First, Cao Yu and Xu Jiujiu finished kneeling and kowtowing several times, and then it was the next bride's turn.
Xu Jiawei stepped down from his position, and Tang Yichuan, the leader of the Tang Sect, and his wife took his place, while the old man and his parents remained in their positions on the left.
