Chapter 1599: Chapter 1458: Wedding (Part 2)

Liu Binglan had changed into a noble and elegant gown before she, surrounded by dancers, arrived at the place where Chu Mu was bathing and dressing.

At that time, it just so happened to see Mu Qingyi walking out of the room.

“Qingyi,” Liu Binglan called out to her.

Mu Qingyi instinctively glanced at Liu Binglan, but quickly realized that she could be seen and, pretending not to hear, hurried away.

Watching her retreating figure, Liu Binglan sighed lightly and slowly stepped into the bedchamber.

When Liu Binglan came in, Chu Mu was still in a somewhat dazed state and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

“Did you hurt her?” Liu Binglan asked softly.

“No, I didn’t,” Chu Mu didn’t say anything and even got his lips stolen with a kiss.

“Then why do I see something in her eyes?” Liu Binglan said.

Mu Qingyi left decisively, Chu Mu remembered her gaze was firm, but as soon as she left the room, she took in a sharp breath and all pretense vanished, and it was precisely Liu Binglan who had bumped into her.

“She likes you as well,” Liu Binglan said in a low voice.

“Yeah,” Chu Mu nodded and didn’t say much more.

Mu Qingyi’s affection for Chu Mu had always been subtle, she had never confessed her feelings to Chu Mu, and naturally, Chu Mu wouldn’t ask, so they both maintained an attitude of silence.

Originally, Chu Mu thought it would always be like this until on the day of his marriage, Mu Qingyi suddenly came over and kissed him.

What was this woman doing? Kissing another’s groom and then saying, “I wish you happiness.” Was this not confusing his heart?

“How do you plan to deal with this?” Liu Binglan asked.

Chu Mu didn’t answer, as in matters of the heart there was no clear concept of dealing or not dealing with it.

“You, I’ve never seen you trying to stir other people’s hearts, yet why do so many girls like you?” Liu Binglan said with a smile.

“I don’t know either,” Chu Mu scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed by Liu Binglan’s comment.

“Have a chat with her when you get the chance,” Liu Binglan said.

“Yeah, we’ll talk about it later,” Chu Mu replied. His wedding was certainly going to sadden Mu Qingyi, but his thoughts were mostly on Ye Qingzi now, this tangled emotion could wait for later.

…

The auspicious time had arrived, Nobly & Elegantly Dressed Liu Binglan held Chu Mu’s arm, walking towards the Courtyard Decorated Like A Purple Fairyland.

Where Chu Mu walked, flower carpets were laid, each step leaving a Footprint, moving forward marking the wedding trail.

“Where are they?” Chu Mu didn’t see Ye Qingzi in his courtyard and was a bit anxious.

Could there be some other customs to follow?

“The bride will surely appear last. The time has come, we should set out slowly, haven’t you heard the cheering outside?” Liu Binglan said with a smile.

“I heard it.” Chu Mu indeed heard the cheers outside, rising like waves.

“Come, let’s walk step by step, no need to rush,” said Liu Binglan.

At a wedding, even progressing on a flower blanket requires finesse and gentle and slow steps, resembling a wandering dance. Liu Binglan knew Chu Mu had not prepared for this, so she gave him some guidance before leaving the Soul Hall.

Chu Mu learned quickly, and as he stepped out of the Soul Hall, he found that the Silver Armor-clad Holy Guards were fully equipped, and neatly lined up on the majestic and solemn Soul Hall steps!

Their Silver Armor shone with a light so dazzling, it was hard to look directly, well-trained and disciplined.

As Chu Mu and Liu Binglan emerged, a thousand Holy Guards knelt in unison, in a spectacular and imposing scene!

“Summon!!”

Holy Guard Leader Zhuo Nong shouted out loud.

Immediately after, all the Holy Guards began reciting a Spell, and the Soul Pets they summoned were all Linyin Beasts, covered in sharply angled Silver Armor, complementing the similarly adorned Holy Guards!

“Form up, advance!”

Commanded Holy Guard Leader Zhuo Nong.

All the Holy Guards, riding their valiant Silver War Beasts, formed a Silver dragon flanking the scarlet-robed Chu Mu and Liu Binglan as they moved toward Wanxiang Square.

Chu Mu looked straight ahead, the road leading directly to Wanxiang Square, seeing the Lofty excitement of the crowd and countless swaying Purple Cluster Flowers!

The Silver dragon moved forward slowly, their steps synchronized with Chu Mu, exuding majesty with a sense of unity and orderly beauty.

…

Gradually, the wave of cheers was approaching, and Chu Mu heard countless people shouting “King Chu!” “King Chu!” “King Chu!”

This was a fervor akin to worship, adoration, respect, love, gratitude; Chu Mu saw all these faces and their gazes.

They held bouquets in their hands, and maidens spontaneously formed groups, presenting flowers and their wondrous dance as Chu Mu and his Holy Guard Team approached.

There had been many celebrations in Wanxiang City, but Chu Mu had never participated in them.

Everyone knew of the young King in the New Moon Land, yet none had the chance to see him in person.

Now, the exceptionally handsome Chu Mu donned in a fiery red royal robe appeared before the masses, who showed extraordinary enthusiasm. If not for the Holy Guard Team clearing the way, Chu Mu would have found it difficult to reach Wanxiang Square.

The flower beds extended all the way to the wedding altar in the plaza. Around the altar was a rare open space, covered with the petals of purple cluster flowers, vivid and captivating. Probably no girl could refuse a man leading her towards this sea of purple flowers.

Guided by Liu Binglan, Chu Mu made his way to the foot of the staircase to the wedding altar.

The silver-armored Holy Guards were orderly arranged around it. Their Linyin Beasts made no mistakes and did not step on a single petal.

Standing there, the cheering suddenly surged like a tide.

The vast sea of people was a sight that could easily move even the coldest of hearts.

“Look up,” Liu Binglan said to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu raised his eyes and saw the sky above Wanxiang City, where noble, white, and graceful creatures flew in.

Those were the Misty Immortal Birds, as elegant as dancing ladies in the sky.

A thousand snow-white Misty Immortal Birds flew over the heads of the crowd, their graceful trajectory eliciting squeals from countless girls.

It was a flight of beauty unsurpassed, all to honor the arrival of a woman in a holy blue bridal dress!

Amidst the flight of the Misty Immortal Birds, countless tiny lives like petals drifted slowly from the sky.

They were Spirit Butterflies.

Elegant, delicate, vivacious, all of the Spirit Butterflies were in purple, signifying the romantic hue of the purple cluster flowers. They danced, forming a huge and vivid dynamic bouquet, carrying a woman in a holy blue bridal dress, gently floating down…

Holy Blue represented purity, nobility, stunning beauty, and a bridal dress so beautiful it made one forget to think. And the woman in that dress appeared like a Heavenly Immortal descending to the mortal world, mesmerizing and peerlessly elegant!

Back in Xiangrong City, Chu Mu had already seen Ye Qingzi, meticulously adorned, among countless brides.

Despite contesting beauty among many brides or descending like a Heavenly Immortal from the heavens, she always stood out, dazzling and exceptional.

The sky full of purple butterflies was undoubtedly the work of Ning Man’er, the only one who could entice these freedom-loving creatures to flock around others.

It cannot be denied that with the wonderful butterflies as a backdrop, Ye Qingzi in her holy blue bridal dress appeared even more enchanting and immaculate.

As she slowly descended before him, as all the Spirit Butterflies gradually dispersed, as she gently lifted the corners of her lips to smile at him, Chu Mu was spellbound.

Liu Binglan gently pushed Chu Mu, who then snapped back to reality, laughing a little sheepishly.

Liu Binglan gently took Chu Mu’s right hand and then Ye Qingzi’s left hand.

“Follow my steps,” Liu Binglan told the couple.

“Chu Mu, look ahead. Stop staring at Qingzi,” Liu Binglan scolded with a glance.

“Ah, okay,” Chu Mu nodded.

Ye Qingzi pursed her lips, smiling softly. The smitten Chu Mu was quite adorable.

As an elder and someone both revered as a mother, Liu Binglan was the best person to officiate the marriage.

By leading Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi to the altar, it signified the elder’s formal acknowledgment of their marital status.

After reaching the altar, Liu Binglan stepped back gracefully, bringing Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi’s hands closer together, then entrusted Ye Qingzi’s delicate hand into Chu Mu’s palm.

Liu Binglan smiled with satisfaction, “This last part, you shall walk on your own.”

Above the wedding altar was the final Moon Gazing Terrace.

The moon represented fertility, love, and walking up to the Moon Gazing Platform was the couple’s most devoted and solemn wedding ceremony. This last staircase was meant to be ascended by just the two of them.

“Should I carry Qingzi up there?” Chu Mu looked up and seeing that the exquisitely sculpted Moon Gazing Terrace hanging in the air had no stairs, he asked.

“Don’t be so crude,” Liu Binglan rolled her eyes at him.

“Hehe,” Chu Mu let out an awkward laugh.

The wedding, everything had to be elegant, slow-paced.

“I’ve laid out the path for you,” said Liu Binglan.

As she spoke, she started chanting a spell to summon the Starry Sky Elf.

With a light touch from the Starry Sky Elf, numerous beautiful and dazzling little stars spread out like cobblestones, forming a beautiful starry path between the wedding altar and the Moon Gazing Terrace.

Chu Mu, holding Ye Qingzi’s hand, slowly stepped out as Liu Binglan had taught him, setting foot on this special staircase.

One step, two steps, three steps, with every step Chu Mu took, he glanced at Ye Qingzi. Ye Qingzi’s cheeks, skin as white as snow, flushed with a deeper hue of crimson as she blushed, adding a seductive charm to her holy beauty.

“Walk,” Liu Binglan urged in playful admonishment.

The naughty man was like tantalizing her appetite intentionally, pausing even as the last Moon Gazing Terrace lay in sight.

Chu Mu paused, utterly captivated by her everything, and the coquettishly complaining Ye Qingzi was ever more bewitching and soul-stirring.

Below the wedding altar was the watchful gaze of tens of thousands, yet Chu Mu readily stopped, his gaze intense and enamored upon the bride. (to be continued.
