What does this mean?

"It means exactly what it says, without any hidden meaning."

Old Master Huo sighed softly, then returned to his seat.

The ghost bride thought for a moment before realizing that he was comforting her.

He was saying that Xia Tianqiong was about to be devoured by Jun Shisan. Even if this person died, it would not mean the end, but could also be considered a new life.

The Bride with the Ghostly Bride sighed softly, not agreeing with Old Huo's words.

Xia Tianqiong is Xia Tianqiong, and Jun Shisan is Jun Shisan. Even if they absorbed all their memories, their appearances didn't change, but they were still not the same people they used to be.

Suddenly, her eyes, hidden beneath the red veil, became a little moist.

At this moment, she had very mixed feelings.

Fox Qianjiuyue quietly walked up behind her, only noticing her when they were almost touching.

"Miss Qin, the path you've chosen is very painful. Have you really thought it through?"

These words instantly displeased the ghost bride, who coldly retorted, "None of your business!"

"We are both women, and only I can understand your inner struggles and suffering."

The ghost bride trembled slightly, did not answer, and turned to look at the horizon.

Through the red veil, she saw that the sun had already set, with only a sliver of its edge remaining.

"My lord, the time is almost here, let's get ready!"

"Okay, I'm coming right now."

Xia Tianqiong replied and then hurried over.

The posthumous marriage ceremony was very simple, without any formalities.

By bowing three times—first to Heaven and Earth, second to the spirit god, and third to each other—one can gain the approval of Heaven and Earth and thus establish a marriage contract.

This is the ritual by which humans and the supernatural enter into a ghost marriage.

A temporary platform was erected in the open space in front of the bamboo house, covered with a red carpet.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride stood on it.

As the sun set and the last ray of sunlight disappeared, the delivery ghost suddenly announced loudly, "Xia Tianqiong and Qin Sixiang, at this moment of yin and yang convergence, are united as human and ghost couple. May heaven and earth bear witness."

He paused slightly at this point, then continued, "First bow to Heaven and Earth!"

Xia Tianqiong and the Ghost Bride stood side by side, facing the direction of the setting sun, bowing deeply at the same time.

At that moment, the heavens and earth shook, and strange phenomena appeared.
