Bai Guyue leaned forward slightly and raised a hand to gently cradle Bibi Dong's chin. He swiftly kissed her red lips, not especially eagerly, but with remarkable speed.
Bibi Dong's body stiffened slightly, then relaxed completely. She tipped her head up to meet him, closed her eyes, and began to return the kiss.
She had not expected Bai Guyue to actually kiss her, let alone take the initiative so readily.
Although his kissing was a little inexperienced and left her lips tingling, he was her man. He could do whatever he wanted, even hit her or scold her.
In any case, any dissatisfaction could be settled in bed.
"Heavens!"
"Brother Bai!"
Yue Guan covered his mouth and watched with wide eyes.
He had actually taken the initiative to kiss her.
Only when he belatedly realized that he seemed to have said something momentous, and had even put his Brother Bai over a fire to roast, did he realize something was wrong.
But just seeing the two of them share such an intimate moment was enough.
"Yue Guan, Brother Bai treats you so well, yet you went and arranged this finale on your own."
Gui Mei patted Yue Guan on the shoulder.
"His Holiness the Pope is pleased, but Brother Bai isn't. What a contradiction."
Yue Guan waved a hand. "It's fine. Brother Bai won't blame me."
Below, Xue Qinghe clenched his fists. Seeing this, he even felt like charging up there and beating someone up.
In the Divine Realm, at the Temple of Life.
"Little Zi, look. This is the first time I've seen anything like this."
The Goddess of Life watched the scene on the screen of light. She had been watching since the wedding began.
"Xiao Lu, why are you so excited about someone else's wedding?"
The God of Destruction paid no attention to things like this.
The Goddess of Life rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "Have you ever given me a wedding? Is it wrong for a woman to want one? She is my junior, after all, so of course I'm going to pay attention."
"All right, all right, Xiao Lu, say no more."
The God of Destruction covered his ears and repeatedly begged for mercy.
In the lower realm, at the wedding.
The couple's lips parted.
Everyone broke into applause once again.
Bibi Dong's cheeks were crimson. In truth, she wanted very much to continue, then slip out her tongue and engage in a round of deep communication.
With so many people watching, she had to restrain herself a little. She could hardly expose her true nature in front of outsiders. She still hadn't recovered.
Qian Daoliu suddenly stepped forward and announced loudly, "I, Qian Daoliu, offer you my blessings on behalf of the Worship Hall, and present you with a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone as your wedding gift."
"A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!"
An uproar swept through the crowd.
Prince Xue Xing could hardly believe it. "A Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone! The Great Enshrined is truly generous. Even our empire couldn't guarantee that it could produce a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone."
Soul Bones were immensely valuable, and Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones were rarer still.
"Grandpa." Xue Qinghe looked at Qian Daoliu, feeling utterly aggrieved. Why had everything changed after he left Spirit Hall, leaving him feeling like the outsider instead?
Bibi Dong was in an excellent mood, and she did not give Qian Daoliu a sour look. She thanked him sincerely. "Thank you for the gift, Great Enshrined."
By giving them a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone, Qian Daoliu had shown sincerity. He knew to bring a gift, so those two Immortal Herbs had not gone to waste. With Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo there, no one in the Worship Hall dared raise any further objections.
At the wedding, some were happy, while others were sorrowful.
Xue Qinghe was not the only one who was sorrowful. There was also Yu Xiaogang, who had slipped in among the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's party.
Hiding in the shadows, Yu Xiaogang watched the entire proceedings with his teeth practically ground to pieces. Watching his Dong'er marry someone else, and be so happy about it, made it even harder for him to accept. He was almost at the very brink of collapse.
Why couldn't he have her? His father was cheering and offering congratulations too, leaving him even more grief-stricken.
"Damn it, that wretched woman."
Yu Xiaogang's resentment deepened.
He did not believe that Bibi Dong had no love for her.
Once the wedding was over, he would find her alone and demand an answer.
For now, he could only hide in the shadows and do his best not to be discovered.
At the wedding, Yue Guan saw that things were drawing to a close.
"Honored guests, please make your way to the banquet hall. In addition to fine wine and delicious food, song and dance performances await you."
Gu Rong raised an eyebrow and smiled, somewhat surprised. "Not bad. Spirit Hall certainly knows how to make arrangements. Old Swordhead, stop looking and get moving. They still have important business to attend to, and you're an eyesore standing here."
Gu Rong gave Chen Xin a tug.
Chen Xin said softly, "You old bag of bones, you've got quite a bit of strength. It's not as if I can't walk. I was just thinking about something."
"Yes, yes, thinking about something." Gu Rong covered his mouth, stifling a laugh.
Look at how someone else used a sword, then look at yourself. What was all this?
If you never married, your Seven Kill Sword lineage would be completely cut off.
He did not dare bring it up. He had mentioned it once before and nearly made him die of anger.
Still, he was not wrong. The Seven Kill Sword lineage could hardly be allowed to end with Chen Xin's generation.
The many guests began heading to the banquet hall for the meal.
Bibi Dong watched everyone leave, while Bai Guyue whispered in her ear:
"Did you suddenly add that last part?"
Bibi Dong looked at Bai Guyue, who still had not recovered, and chuckled. "What if I did? What if I didn't? Does it matter? We're husband and wife now anyway, so why care about that?"
Bai Guyue covered his ears.
"All right, all right, all right. You really have a sharp tongue."
Fortunately, the Soul Power had ended. There probably would not be another occasion like this afterward.
"Oh? Eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, why aren't you going to the banquet hall? What are you doing staying here? Do you want to watch our family business too?"
Bibi Dong fixed her gaze on Xue Qinghe at the back.
Nearly all the Heaven Dou Empire's representatives had left, leaving him alone.
Qian Renxue, weren't you just deceiving yourself by staying here alone?
She dared say this because there were still people nearby who had not yet left, so Qian Renxue did not dare expose herself and could only swallow her anger.
"Your Holiness, whether I leave or not should be none of your concern, should it?"
Xue Qinghe gave a mocking smile.
"I never expected you to get involved with a guard. How ridiculous."
Hearing Qian Renxue's taunt, Bibi Dong's expression darkened. A Titled Douluo's pressure erupted in an instant, enveloping Xue Qinghe.
"Say that again if you dare."
She would not allow anyone to lecture her about her relationship with Bai Guyue, not even Qian Renxue.
Xue Qinghe's body sank, his legs beginning to buckle, a pained expression appearing on his face. Just as he was about to fall to his knees-
Qian Daoliu spoke up, interrupting:
"Enough."
Bibi Dong withdrew her pressure, her gaze calm.
"Great Enshrined, since you've spoken, I'll give you face.
"Of course, you'd better not have anything to ask of me and Xiao Bai. Otherwise, you'll learn what difficulty means."
With that, Bibi Dong linked her arm through Bai Guyue's. "Come on, come on, back to the bedchamber."
"Hey, hey, hey... slow down."
"And who wants to go to the bedchamber? I'm hungry."
Bai Guyue pushed back somewhat, wanting to go to the banquet hall.
"It's fine. I'll have someone bring food over."
Trying to run?
It's time for our wedding night. Where do you think you're going?
