Extra 2: The Wedding
Xing Mingyue was very excited after receiving the news. He didn't care about the long journey and asked to be tested as soon as he arrived at the ranch.
Shi Wen agreed.
Soon, everyone set up the instruments and began testing the various values Shi Wen.
As the numerical values were presented one by one, the researchers circulated the printed results for everyone to review, and the more they looked, the more excited everyone became.
Zhu Ji looked at the printed report, "Divinity over 336,000, Abilities over 319,000, higher than I imagined."
Dang Changming glanced at Shi Wen, then at Yan Kexing, remaining silent, but his eyes betrayed him—he doubted whether dual cultivation was truly as effective as claimed. Otherwise, how could Shi Wen have improved so much?
Xing Mingyue murmured, "Shi Wen, you truly are the epitome of a miracle."
Shi Wen looked at the test results, somewhat surprised, but not entirely.
Shi Wen, "Perhaps it was a combination of favorable timing, location, and human factors that ultimately made me who I am today. Our clan, once it starts growing, grows very quickly."
Dang Changming, "Yes, your Qilin clan is truly unique, but unfortunately, there is very little research data about your clan."
Zhu Ji: "It's not too little, it's practically none."
Shi Wen smiled and said, "You'll have it later."
Dang Changming understood his meaning, he bowed slightly to him. "We all need to thank you for your selflessness."
As he spoke, Dang Changming couldn't help but look at the report again, "You're now third in the country."
Shi Wen, "So who's number one?"
Zhu Ji: "Old Yan! Old Yan's Divinity and Abilities are both over 900,000, making him the undisputed number one in the country. In the past century, his ranking has been a precipitous leap forward."
Okay, Yan Kexing number one, he admits it.
He nodded from Shi Wen.
Zhu Ji added, "But if you continue to improve at this terrifying pace, you might just become number one in the future."
Shi Wen, "Then it's probably still quite a long way off. And who's second? Who's second?"
Zhu Ji: "There's an Abilities on Nanqiong Island with dragon blood. His Divinity and Abilities are both over 400,000, and he's maintained that level for many years. I estimate you can surpass him."
Shi Wen and felt it wasn't a big problem. "Then I'll try my best."
The Shi Wen could transform into Qilin had a huge impact, and many people came to inquire about it.
However, most of these people were turned away by Dang Changming and Zhu Ji, and a few were even warned. In the end, no one dared to disturb them.
Shi Wen didn't care about outside affairs at all. Even though he could already transform into Qilin, he still went to resolve the Asian elephant issue as agreed.
I don't know if it's because I can transform into Qilin, Shi Wen sense the thoughts of some animals.
The Asian elephants refused to leave the national highway because it was so well-maintained—wide, smooth, and perfectly aligned with their migration route.
The best part is that there are houses and farmland on both sides of the national highway, so they can eat and migrate at the same time.
Shi Wen relayed his thoughts on the Asian elephants to the leaders. "That's probably the reason. I think we shouldn't release them into the wild. Let's just release them back into their intended destination, otherwise they'll just come back."
After listening, the leaders said helplessly, "We were wondering why they kept coming back. Turns out they just wanted to take this route."
Shi Wen: "Yes."
The problem was solved, and the leaders were very pleased. They all invited Shi Wen to stay and enjoy the local area for a few days.
Shi Wen declined, saying, "I'll come with my partner next time; it's too late this time."
The leaders were surprised. "Mr. Shi, you're married?"
Shi Wen touched the ring finger of his left hand and said with a touch of pride, "Soon. I just successfully proposed."
The leaders didn't know who his wife was, but they could see the deep affection on his face, and they all applauded politely, saying, "Congratulations!"
Shi Wen happily said, "Thank you everyone, I'll give you all wedding candy later."
Chapter 218 Extra Chapter 2: The Wedding
Shi Wen and Yan Kexing ultimately decided to set their wedding date for May 1st.
At this time, the grass grows tall in the pasture, the sky turns blue, and the flowers bloom, creating a beautiful scene that can only be compared to the golden autumn season.
Another point is that May 1st is the closest and best auspicious day for them, and their friends all have holidays, making it a perfect day to get married.
Shi Wen and Yan Kexing didn't originally pay much attention to auspicious days.
Zhu Ji, exasperated, reminded them, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime wedding, why not make every aspect perfect?"
Shi Wen, "What you said makes sense, but is it reliable to have someone calculate this auspicious day?"
Zhu Ji: "No need, just choose May Day. All the major national holidays are auspicious days, a time of universal celebration and unity. Choosing this day for your wedding is definitely a good choice."
Shi Wen discussing it with Yan Kexing, Shi Wen felt that May Day was indeed a good choice, as it was good in every aspect, so they decided to go with it.
There's still some time before May Day, which gives them time to make various preparations.
The most important wedding ring was custom-made with funds jointly by the couple. It was handcrafted by a top international master craftsman and contains a strand of their hair, symbolizing "tying the knot" (a traditional Chinese way of saying "to tie one's hair together").
The master craftsman's project had a long lead time, and the two agreed to deliver the goods by the end of April.
After the wedding rings were chosen, He Chengzhang took the initiative to take over the task of designing their wedding attire. "I'm an internationally renowned designer, so designing a wedding dress shouldn't be a problem for me. Watch me."
Shi Wen, "Thank you for your hard work."
He Chengzhang: "You're welcome. I've received a lot of help from you these past two years, so it's my turn to help you now."
Shi Wen's reaction was to give him a big thumbs up.
He Chengzhang smiled and asked, "Is the main color of the wedding dress black and white?"
Shi Wen, "Yes, these two colors are more understated and classic. Yan Kexing wearing black, and I'm wearing white."
