Chapter 409: Congratulations All Around
“What did you post?”
Next to Ye Xuan, Lin Shiru saw him posting on Weibo and asked.
Ye Xuan playfully hid his phone from her sight.
Lin Shiru glared at him and pulled out her phone. She went on her Weibo to check for herself.
Then, as she saw the sweet, tender words Ye Xuan wrote of the two of them for the world to see, her heart warmed. Tears of joy moistened her eyes.
“Ye Xuan!”
Overcame with joy, Lin Shiru temporarily forgot that everyone on the street had their eyes on them. She stared up into Ye Xuan’s handsome face with a burning passion. Ye Xuan looked back into her eyes and saw her anticipation.
Ye Xuan smiled.
He held her in his arms and bent over to kiss her.
At that moment, nothing else in the world existed between the two. They only had each other.
“Are you serious? Are they for real?”
“Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru?”
After Ye Xuan posted on his Weibo, the comment section below his marriage announcement erupted.
“They have my blessing!”
“I’m so jealous, but they have my blessing as well…”
“This is so rushed! Look at the date on this certificate. They had just taken it! So the wedding is going to be tomorrow? Didn’t Ye Xuan just come back from the Ancient God Planet?”
“‘Rushed’ is probably inadequate to describe this. I would bet you that Ye Xuan hadn’t even thought of this when he hung An Gucheng’s body at the front gate of Jiangzhou University. This was for sure a spur of the moment decision.”
“Are they trying to tell us that if we want to get married we should just do it? Follow our heart?”
“It ain’t a matter of following my heart for me. My girlfriend’s family wants 300,000 in betrothal gifts on top of a house and a car. At this rate, I’ll probably stay alone for life…”
“I feel for you bro…”
“Congratulations!”
“Congratulations!”
“‘The rest of this life will be spent with you and you alone,’ well written!”
“Man, look at those two’s pictures. They are a perfect match. They are a match made in heaven!”
Not long after Ye Xuan posted, the comment section was booming with blessings and congratulations.
No one said anything negative.
But then, of course, no one dared to say anything negative.
Unless they want to suffer the wrath from all the Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru fans.
Back on the street, after she and Ye Xuan kissed passionately for some time, Lin Shiru’s senses finally recovered from the daze. She realized that the whole street had stopped to watch them.
With a bright blush on her face, she leapt onto the back of the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle and quickly flew towards Jiangzhou University.
The past couple of days felt so unreal to her.
It was as if everything she had ever dreamt of came to fruition in one day.
It even happened better than she could have ever dreamt it.
This made her hold on to Ye Xuan’s hands tightly. She was afraid to wake up, should this be a dream.
At Jiangzhou University, Su Yunmeng greeted Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru’s return. She immediately pulled Lin Shiru aside and examined her with a smile.
After she found out that they had gotten their marriage certificates, her smile grew even wider.
Without Lin Shiru looking, she stuck her thumb out to Ye Xuan.
Only her son could pull this off. Only her son secretly captured Lin Shiru’s heart while the rest of the world was unaware.
Ye Xuan laughed. He was quite proud of himself as well.
Lin Shiru was his perfect wife. He was quite proud that she was able to accept him and be with him.
It even baffled him that Lin Shiru was the one feeling the pressure in the relationship.
Like, do you not understand how attractive you are to me? Do you not understand how great you are? Ye Xuan thought to himself.
He was determined to make her realize her worth and prove that he is worthy of her by tomorrow. That way, she would not have to feel so much pressure by being with him.
He wanted her to eradicate this feeling altogether.
“Auntie.”
Lin Shoucheng, who had been waiting at Ye Xuan’s house all morning to discuss the wedding with Ye Xuan’s parents, turned to Su Yunmeng. “I have called over the finest wedding team and photographer in all of Jiangzhou Prefecture. You should go to them with Ye Xuan and Shiru in a bit. I’ll make sure that they get all the wedding details down overnight.”
“Thank you.”
Lin Shiru nodded. She did not look directly at Lin Shoucheng.
After all, things of this nature would make most girls feel shy.
She did not want to sit there waiting much longer.
After Lin Shoucheng said that the photographer was here, she could barely wait any longer to go with Ye Xuan and discuss with the photographer what she wanted for her wedding photos.
Almost all woman dreamt at one point of herself in a pristine white wedding gown.
Lin Shiru was no different.
…
“Ye Xuan’s getting married?”
As Ye Xuan’s Weibo post gained more and more traction, the news reached the ears of the top figures within the Great Xia Alliance. Without an exception, they were all surprised.
When An Gucheng’s body got removed from the front gate of Jiangzhou University, they all speculated that something bad might had happened.
It never crossed their mind that it was because Ye Xuan suddenly decided to get married to Lin Shiru.
Marriage…
At that moment, all netizens were bathed in a pleasant shock.
They all felt that they had gotten to know Ye Xuan’s personality a little better from this incident. He was truly a man of spontaneity.
“It must feel good be young.”
One man sighed.
Youthfulness was the basis of doing whatever one pleased.
Once a man reached middle age, senility, every decision was marked by fear and uncertainty.
It was totally unlike Ye Xuan. He wanted to get married, so he got married.
There was not much to consider beyond that.
Of course, that confidence was also reserved for Ye Xuan.
Given his current state and rate of ascension, there was not much for him to worry about.
“Mr. Teng.”
At an office in Zhongzhou Prefecture, a young man walked to the side of Teng Qinglin and informed him. “We have concluded our negotiations with the Black Scorpion Planet. They have accepted our terms of joining the Great Xia Alliance.”
“In addition, they have permitted the Great Xia Alliance to establish transmission formations on their planet.”
“Is that so?” A dim light briefly flashed across Teng Qinglin’s dull eyes.
The Black Scorpion Planet had a roster of several dozen challenger-level beast tamers. They were quite strong in their own right.
With their addition, the Great Xia Alliance’s strength would increase considerably.
Teng Qinglin took a brief moment to process the development, then he said to the young subordinate, “do not leak this news for now. It’s probably best to delay all announcements till after Ye Xuan’s wedding.”
Tomorrow would be the day of Ye Xuan’s wedding.
Ye Xuan was the Great Xia Alliance’s, Sacred Son. His wedding must be one of dignity and opulence.
There would undoubtedly be an ocean of blessings and congratulations.
It would not be an appropriate moment for the news of the Black Scorpion Planet joining the Great Xia Alliance to steal the headline, however unlikely that might be.
“Come on you two, get closer together. Yes! Just like that! Don’t move!”
“Snap snap!”
“Alright! Now, for this next one, I want Ye Xuan in the air, but not completely floating. You are gonna latch on to Vice Dean Shiru’s hand and stare softly into each other’s eyes. Yes! Just like that!”
“Snap snap!”
“Ok, for this next one, I want both of you guys in the air. Vice Dean Shiru, please use your mind energy to control your wedding gown. Blow it in a way like you guys are flying at a high speed. Then I want you two to both tilt your heads half way and smile at each other. Yes! Perfect…”
“Snap snap!”
Back at Jiangzhou University, Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru had taken their wedding photos under the instructions of a professional photographer.
They thought the wedding photos would take a really long time, but they managed to finish them in less than an hour.
After taking the photos came the lengthy process of photo selection. After much deliberation, the couple selected all the photos they were going to keep.
“Alrighty, time to work! We’ll make this one into a poster. And that one will be placed in a heart-shaped frame.”
“What size do you want the frame?”
“The largest one you have.”
As Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru departed, the photographer and his team was busy working on turning the photos into presentable art pieces for the wedding.
As for Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru, they had nothing to worry about anymore for the wedding.
They had done all the preparations they could.
The rest was up to the professionals.
“Linlin.”
“Yes?”
“We are getting married tomorrow.”
“Mhm.”
After Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru finished taking their wedding photos, they returned to the villa.
Inside Lin Shiru’s room, on her bed, Ye Xuan held Lin Shiru in his arms and gazed at her beautiful face. He savoured every moment of this bliss.
…
“Ye Xuan and Vice Dean Shiru…”
At a small restaurant near Jiangzhou University, Qi Liangcai gathered with Wei Shan and Lu Jing.
After they found out Ye Xuan was getting married to Lin Shiru tomorrow, they were all thunderstruck.
They thought for sure that Ye Xuan would stay single for a long time with that personality of his.
Never could they have imagined that Ye Xuan would find a partner this quickly.
Most surprising of all, the bride was Lin Shiru!
This made them feel incredibly lost.
They did not have one area in their lives that could compete with Ye Xuan.
They would lose out definitively in both career and romance.
And not only them but there were also others who were saddened by the news.
…
On the Harp Melody Planet, the serenely handsome Qin Wuhuang sat on his throne and gazed towards the sky.
He remembered what his daughter told him before.
“The man tamed over thirty challenger-level beast tamers…”
It sounded incredible, even coming out of his daughter’s mouth.
Yet, even so, he did not want his daughter to be a smaller wife to Ye Xuan.
It was Qin Wuhuang! Ruler of the Harp Melody Planet! Where would his face stand if his daughter was only a second wife to someone else? He could not bear the thought.
Just earlier, he had received news of Ye Xuan’s wedding with Lin Shiru tomorrow.
The news spread like wildfire across the galaxies.
Even though the Harp Melody Planet did not have many agents embedded in other clans and planets, the magnitude of the news reached them regardless.
“What is going on?”
As he thought, he looked up towards the sky again.
For the past while, he felt a strange attraction coming from the sky. A call.
“Spread my command. Gather all the challenger-level beast tamers of Harp Melody Planet to see me here now!”
…
Time flew. The night passed quickly.
Morning came. The entire Jiangzhou University was bathed in festive spirits.
Even though Jiangzhou University was an academy, no one complained about Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru’s decision to host their wedding here.
Quite the opposite, everyone was in a jovial spirit.
At the same time, beast tamers all across Xia rode on powerful beasts towards the Jiangzhou Prefecture. They were all headed for Jiangzhou University.
There were even beast tamers from other planets, other galaxies. They all came to congratulate the couple on their marriage.
Ye Xuan of Xia’s fame was so great, his wedding with Lin Shiru shook the entire Great Xia Alliance.
