There was a festive atmosphere outside, and Jian Luo got into the car.

This wedding was quite grand, or rather, Lu Shifeng had not thought of keeping it simple. There were lights and decorations everywhere, and even Longgu had posted bright red wedding signs everywhere to follow human customs. The dragon race likes black and red, which do not conflict with the human color red.

When Jian landed in Dragon Valley, he almost didn't recognize it as the Dragon Valley he had seen before. It was a colorful world everywhere, dazzling the eyes. There were people everywhere. The originally empty Yunye was now filled with banquets, and the guests coming and going were noisy, but it was lively and full of joy.

The most important ceremony of the dragon clan is to sign a partnership contract under the sacred tree.

When Jian Luo arrived, many respected elders of the dragon clan were already there. They looked at Jian Luo with eyes full of love. Most of the elders of the dragon clan were old dragons who were tens of thousands of years old. They were old and in the last years of their lives they either traveled around or slept in the abyss of the Dragon Valley and rarely appeared.

These dragons only appear when something big happens to the dragon clan, and one of these things is the Dragon King's wedding.

The elder standing in the middle had white horns on his dragon body, and he looked very white-haired. He waved to Lu Shifeng and Jian Luo, "Children, come here."

Jian Luo was a little nervous because Lu Shifeng had no living parents, so the ugly daughter-in-law didn't have to meet her parents-in-law. But she didn't expect that when facing several elders, he was still cowardly, panicked, and afraid.

Lu Shifeng noticed Jian Luo's nervousness. He squeezed Jian Luo's hand, silently giving him strength, and whispered, "Let's go."

Jian Luo looked at him, and he was no longer nervous. He nodded gently: "Okay."

The two of them walked forward together. The grass in Dragon Valley was soft and the air was fresh. They took a few slow steps, attracting everyone's attention. When they finally stood in front of the elder, Jian Luo's palms seemed to be full of sweat.

The elder slowly raised his head and placed his hand on Jian Luo's head, muttering something that sounded like a low dragon roar or a muttered spell. Listening to it made people feel calm unconsciously. A chill felt from between their eyebrows. When Jian Luo came back to his senses, the elder had already withdrawn his hand.

Lu Shifeng led him to bow.

The elder slowly put his hands together and said, "Go."

Jian Luo was dazed when Lu Shifeng pulled him to the next elder. Before this, he knew that there would be some blessing ceremonies, but no one told him in such detail. Fortunately, Lu Shifeng was quite reliable and always took him with him, so he didn't make a fool of himself. Overall, everything went smoothly.

at last

Under the witness of everyone, the blessing ceremony was completed.

Jian Luo stood obediently aside, waiting for the final, most solemn, and most important sacrifice of the ceremony. The wind around him sped up unconsciously, almost in the blink of an eye. The elders who were originally standing on the ground suddenly disappeared, and were replaced by several dragons flying in the air. Giant dragons, several dragons were tumbling in the sea of ​​clouds, and the roar of dragons came from afar, resounding throughout the Dragon Valley and even in the sky above the City in the Sky.

There are more than just these.

Many dragons transformed into their original forms and flew into the sky. There was a symphony of dragon roars, and the green light balls around the sacred tree began to increase and gradually surrounded the surroundings. The overflowing spiritual energy made people feel as if their whole bodies were baptized. The mother tree woke up, and its branches began to grow. The towering tree made a creaking sound when it moved.

Jian Luo's eyes widened unconsciously.

The dragons' roars were deep and far-reaching, shocking everyone. They seemed to be the kings of the sky, and the sacred tree was responding to these calls. As its branches grew, half of the sky was filled with green. The green balls of light returned to the mother tree's body, right in front of Jian Luo's eyes, and suddenly -

The branches are blooming.

The bright red flowers with dark stamens and red and black alternating colors are domineering and delicate flowers blooming among the greenery. Flowers are slowly blooming on the branches that cover the sky. Half of the sky is gradually dyed by the color of flowers. An elegant fragrance comes. As the wind blows, petals are blown down, and the fallen petals are colorful and incomparable.

On the day of the Dragon King's wedding, the sacred tree of the dragon clan blossomed, and the fragrance of the flowers lasted for three thousand miles.

The guests below were in an uproar. This was a once-in-a-century spectacle, something many people would only be able to witness in their lifetime. Cheers and leaps for joy resounded throughout the Dragon Valley. Amidst the cheers, the sacred tree slowly lowered a branch. On this branch was a flower, but unlike the other flowers, it was a pure black flower, its beauty cold and assertive.

Lu Shifeng said to Jian Luo: "This is my soul flower."

Jian Luo widened his eyes and looked at the little flower in disbelief.

Secretary Jin brought a vessel from not far away to Jian Luo. She smiled and said, "Drop your blood into the flower and merge it with the master's soul flower. Only then will the ceremony be completed."

Jian Luo nodded gently: "Okay."

Secretary Jin added, "The dragon clan's soul flowers are all governed by the sacred tree. Every flower that blooms today represents countless members of our clan. When the Dragon King's wedding takes place, all dragons will be invited to witness this moment, including our ancestors."

Jian Luo looked at Lu Shifeng in surprise. After hearing this, he didn't dare to look directly at these flowers anymore. He thought they were beautiful before, but now he understood what it meant: when you stare into the abyss, the abyss may also be staring back at you.

Lu Shifeng said to Jian Luo: "The soul flower of the dragon clan can only sign a contract once in a lifetime. It cannot be changed or replaced."

Jian Luo's hand holding the vessel trembled slightly: "So strict."

"Um."

Lu Shifeng seemed to remind him: "The contract cannot be cancelled."

Jian Luo didn't react to what this meant at first. He was still sympathizing with the dragon clan because they were so miserable. Doesn't this mean that they can only find one partner in their lifetime? He had heard before that the dragon clan was a loyal race and would stay with their partners until death. He thought it was self-conscious, but it turned out that their feelings were all supervised by the mother tree!

Secretary Jin smiled and said, "It's time, we can proceed."

Jian Luo responded. He was afraid of making mistakes in the sacrificial process, so he did it thousands of times before coming. The crimson blood on his fingertips merged with the black soul flower. Under Jian Luo's gaze, the pure black flower actually began to change color and glow after having his blood, and finally slowly fell into a small flower with a hint of pink, without its previous domineering look.

Jian Luo didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It can even change color, I'm inside you."

Lu Shifeng looked down at him, his eyes gradually deepening, and said, "Well, I'm inside you."

…

A moment of silence in the air

Jian Luo turned his face away, not only not wanting to talk, but even wanted to kick Lu Shifeng, and Secretary Jin had to play dumb.

The ceremony was basically over at this point. What followed were various toasts and social events. Lu Shifeng thought Jian Luo would be very clingy to him, or even hide behind him given his shy personality. There were many people coming today, and he was afraid that he would be stage fright. He even thought of what to say to comfort him. However, he never expected that -

"Hello, hello, I'm Jian Luo."

"Ah, you're from Yunxing. I heard the ocean there is very beautiful. Yeah, yes, the inconvenience of planting is really a big problem. Actually, here..."

"No problem, we'll be in touch later."

"You're so polite. I'll visit you some other day. You're so kind."

In order to do business, the little boy in Lu Shifeng's eyes seemed to have grown up. Since shouldering the responsibility, Jian Luo, either voluntarily or forced, has become independent at a speed visible to the naked eye. He used to be unsociable, but now he can even choose his own targets and take the initiative to talk to them.

A planet with 80% of the world covered by oceans, and the most developed per capita financial resources in terms of technological chips, it doesn’t matter, the Earth provides vegetation and vegetables, and cooperation is reached; the world is a glacier world, and residents live in underground cities. Although they don’t use vegetables, the per capita happiness index is not high, it doesn’t matter, the Earth opens hotels and amusement parks specifically for tourism, and cooperation is reached.

Jian Luo didn't stop for the whole day.

He was like a spinning top spinning at high speed, not missing any opportunity for cooperation. He negotiated one business deal after another and drank one glass of wine after another. Lu Shifeng didn't know that he could drink so much.

“Hmm…”

After sunset, the guests dispersed.

The first thing Jian Luo did when he returned to his room was to rush to the toilet and vomit. He was about to vomit into a puddle of mud. Lu Shifeng frowned behind him: "You can't drink it, but you still drink it."

Lu Shifeng didn't let Jian Luo drink, but Jian Luo ran around everywhere, looking for this person or that person. Marshal Lu couldn't keep up with Jian Luo's pace at all, and he didn't know how much Jian Luo had drunk without him noticing.

Jian Luo was still conscious. He stood up and said, "It's okay. I can drink a lot."

Lu Shifeng poured him a cup of warm water and handed it to him: "Where did you practice this?"

“In the past.”

Jian Luo took the water and gulped it down: "When I was in college, a few of my roommates sneaked out to drink. We had no money, so we just had some Erguotou."

He was a little excited when he said this.

Jian Luo said, "Later, I started working in sales. In order to accompany clients on business talks, my alcohol tolerance became even better. No one can drink more than me. Isn't that amazing?"

Lu Shifeng stared at him, his blood-red eyes as quiet as a pool of still water, and finally responded softly: "Hmm."

Jian Luo got drunk and started chatting about all sorts of things. "I used to be a live streamer, but I don't really like cooking. I used to cook for my family when I was little, and I still have to cook when I grow up. But I want to make money to buy a house. The house prices in the city are too expensive for me to afford. I'm from the countryside, so I want to save some money to go back to the countryside, build a house, marry a wife, and live a good life."

…

The room was quiet for a moment

Lu Shifeng's expression was no longer as kind as before. He narrowed his eyes dangerously and asked, "Marry what?"

Jian Luo was completely unaware of the seriousness of the situation and was still chatting enthusiastically. He said, "Marry a wife and have a big fat boy. I like children very much. A boy and a girl are better. I won't be partial. I will definitely love both of them. When we are old..."
