Chapter 27 A Different Rustic Wedding

The arrival of the Dragon God Festival made everyone in the tribe happy.

Time passed slowly in the busyness and finally it was noon. According to the old customs, the pair-forming ceremony would be held before the Dragon God Festival.

At this time, the activity square was already full of people.

Two rows of Poinciana trees were transplanted in the middle of the square, with only one main branch retained and the top trimmed into a spherical shape. The whole visual effect looked like two rows of giant green lollipops.

In the middle of the two rows of poinciana flowers, a passage leading to the altar is reserved, and people in the square stand on both sides of the passage.

At this time, people in the tribe couldn't help but wonder - when did so many Poinciana trees appear here?

Just as they were wondering, they saw Long Chen, who was wearing a red robe, coming with Chu Ange, who was also wearing red clothes.

Long Chen is already good-looking, and the red clothes make him look even more handsome and tall. But what about Chu Ange? She placed her hand in Long Chen's palm and walked slowly towards him. Her red clothes set off her snow-white skin, making her look particularly beautiful.

Two handsome young men and beautiful women walked hand in hand under the gaze of a bunch of people in little leather skirts.

As soon as the two stepped onto the entrance passage separated by flamboyant flowers, a pair of boys and girls came up from both sides and threw colorful petals picked this morning over their heads.

The priest stood at the other end of the passage and watched them approaching. He was wearing a long animal skin robe that was patched up with several pieces of animal skin. He had seen Long Chen wearing a red robe this morning and thought that wearing a long robe would make him more majestic than wearing a short skirt, so he did this on the spur of the moment. His expression looked compassionate.

The two of them came in front of the priest, and the flower girl had just finished scattering the flowers in her hand.

The priest spoke piously and slowly: "The great Dragon God has brought us peace and happiness. Your people are praying here. May the glory of the Dragon God shine upon the entire beast world..."

"By the almighty Dragon God, Ange of the White Wolf Tribe and the orc Long Chen will become partners today."

The flower girl then took out two wreaths from somewhere and handed one to Long Chen and the other to Chu Ange.

Long Chen put the wreath in his hand on Chu Ange's head, then he bent down slightly and motioned Chu Ange to put the wreath in her hand on him.

Chu Ange put it on him. Is this the ring exchange part?

ah! This is a very rustic wedding!

After they exchanged wreaths, the priest continued, "Under the watchful eyes of the Dragon God and with the blessing of the Phoenix Flower, they will be together forever."

…

The old priest spoke slowly, and at this point Chu Ange thought the wedding was about to end, but in the next second, he heard the orcs' exclamations.

The flamboyant flowers on both sides all bloomed in an instant. The petals of the flamboyant flowers were bright red and the flowers were very large. The leaves were blocked by the flowers and could not be seen. It seemed that there were only flowers. It was so beautiful.

Two full rows of red lollipop-shaped Poinciana flowers look like bunches of exquisite bouquets.

Even the branches of the poinciana trees planted around the altar were full of flowers.

"The phoenix flower is blooming, the Dragon God is coming!"

Someone said something, and a golden dragon actually appeared above the tribe, hovering above Long Chen and Chu Ange's heads.

This time the Dragon God appeared differently from yesterday. This time he hovered for more than a minute before leaving.

Everyone in the tribe knelt down excitedly and devoutly, only Long Chen was still standing holding Chu Ange's hand. Chu Ange was so shocked by the scene that she wanted to kneel down with everyone else, but Long Chen held her steadily.

"The great Dragon God is blessing you, and you will never be separated." The priest was stunned for a while before he reacted.

Long Chen said firmly and seriously: "Dad Long, I will be with Chu Ange for the rest of my life and we will never be separated."

Chu Ange looked at him blankly. Everyone here called her Ange and didn’t know her last name was Chu. He called her Chu Ange!

"Ange, the great Dragon God will bless you." Seeing that Chu Ange did not respond, the priest said to her again.

Long Chen smiled at Chu Ange and gently squeezed her hand. Chu Ange came back to her senses and said to the priest: "Dragon God, I will be with Long Chen forever."

Hearing Chu Ange's answer, the priest happily plucked a branch full of phoenix flowers from the altar and held it high above his head: "Dragon God, from today on, you are each other's partners. You will accompany each other for the rest of your lives and be happy forever."

After the priest finished speaking, he waited for Long Chen and Chu Ange to kneel down.

After waiting for a while, Long Chen stood up straight, and even Chu Ange was dragged by him and did not kneel down.

The priest whispered, "The Dragon God is here, you must kneel down."

Long Chen: "Others kneel before the Dragon God, but we are blessed by the Dragon God himself, so we cannot kneel like others."

The priest thought about it and decided, that’s right, then he won’t kneel.

The priest had already announced that they would be lifelong partners, and the people in the tribe who were originally kneeling stood up and gave them their blessings.

The children in the tribe suddenly took out a lot of bright petals and scattered them around Long Chen and Chu Ange.

While scattering the flowers, they also said blessings in unison: "I wish you peace and happiness."

“I wish you good health!”

"Dragon God bless you!"

…

The children spoke in unison, obviously having practiced in advance.

The fluttering petals, the child's tender language, the suddenly blooming phoenix flowers and the wreath made by Long Chen himself... this ceremony suddenly became different.

After a while, two more children came over with two bamboo tubes filled with water, and another child held a jar filled with honey.

The priest used a wooden stick to dip honey into a bamboo tube and stirred it to make honey water. He gave one cup to Long Chen and one cup to Chu Ange: "The Dragon God will make every couple sweet and happy!"

Long Chen's hand holding the honey water went around Chu Ange's hand holding the honey water, and they both drank the honey water.

Chu Ange always felt that the situation at this wedding was a little familiar, but he couldn't tell exactly what was familiar about it.

Exchanging wreaths, swearing vows, drinking honey from each other’s cups, a luxurious and rustic wedding that combines Chinese and Western elements?

Before this, the tribe's partner ceremony was very simple. After the priest finished saying a long list of words and blessed the two people participating in the partner ceremony, the partner ceremony was over.

Whether it was the petals or the wreaths, the children's neat blessings or the current honey water, as well as the poinciana flowers transplanted late at night, they were all what Long Chen told the priest because he wanted to give Chu Ange a different partner ceremony.

After they finished drinking the honey water, Long Chen suddenly held Chu Ange's face and kissed her on the mouth.

Chu Ange: ...romance is stirred in the soil.

After seeing this scene, the priest thought that this could be added to their tribe’s future partner ceremony.

What a pleasing scene this is, how beautiful it looks!

The priest was very pleased.

The hearts of the people in the tribe were filled with blessings. This partner ceremony was so shocking and beautiful!

Those females who looked down on the wandering orcs were also extremely envious. When I look for a male partner in the future, I also want to have a romantic partner ceremony like this.
