The marriage proposal went incredibly smoothly, and both sides quickly finalized the date for the marriage ceremony, which would be held in three months at Phoenix Feather Palace.

After meeting with Shushu, Lu Li hurriedly followed the group from Fengyu Palace back to prepare. He came and went in a hurry.

However, neither of them felt any reluctance; instead, they had a lot more anticipation and longing for the future.

Unlike their deliberately ostentatious arrival, the procession returning home from Fengyu Palace was much quieter.

Almost immediately after leaving the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan's territory and informing the onlookers of the time for Shushu and Lu Li's marriage ceremony, Lu Xujingyao tore open a spatial barrier and left with her people.

Soon, invitations to the grand ceremony of the new ancestor were sent out from Phoenix Feather Palace and flew to various parts of the Immortal Realm.

Besides the Nine Palaces, all the other notable members of the Divine Beast Clan and the Immortal Realm, as well as those on good terms with the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan and the Phoenix Clan, are also invited.

Of course, the Liuyue Sect, as their respective sects, is also indispensable.

After receiving the invitation, the Liuyue Sect discussed the matter and decided to split into two groups.

Liu Yu, along with his fourth senior brother Ling Mufeng, fifth senior brother Fu Ziang, and some disciples, went to Phoenix Feather Palace to help.

Liu Ying, along with her second senior brother Gu Borong, third senior sister Xu Ruoyun, as well as Tu Tu, Ling Jun, and Xuan Shen, went to the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan to prepare to send her off as a member of her maternal family.

In addition, the mythical beast clans that were on good terms with Shushu, such as the Dragon Clan, the Xuanwu Clan, and the Qilin Clan, also came to the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan ahead of time after learning the news. Moreover, the ones who came were old acquaintances of Shushu.

For a time, the entire treasure-hunting rat territory was extremely lively, with everyone coming and going wearing obvious smiles.

Shumai and Liuying, one a mother and the other a teacher's wife, seized the time to teach Shushu all the ways they knew about how couples should get along.

Shushu could hardly miss their motherly love. Under their worried nagging, Shushu became childish for once, sticking close to them and acting cute.

Her adorable little face made Shumai and Liuying both happy and reluctant to part with her.

Especially Liu Ying, watching Shushu grow from a tiny lump no bigger than the palm of her hand into the charming young girl she is today; from not even knowing how to use spiritual power to ascending to immortality and about to embark on a new life.

Her feelings of gratitude were no less than those of her own mother, Shumai.

Fortunately, Shushu's partner was Lu Li, a child they had watched grow up and knew well. This eased Liu Ying's reluctance and even helped Shushu comfort Shumai.

Time flies by in everyone's busy schedule, and in the blink of an eye, it's already ten days before the grand ceremony of the joint registration.

Because the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan and Phoenix Feather Palace are separated by several domains, and there are many people on the Millet and Potato side, it was naturally impossible for the Immortal Emperor to take action and tear through space to get there on the same day.

Putting aside the distance, even the heavy load was too much for the big shots to handle.

So, as planned, Shushu and the others set off ten days early with a long procession to the nearest Jingtian Domain to board the shuttle boat.

After a smooth journey, they met up with their masters and fellow disciples from Jingtian Palace, and the group finally boarded the shuttle boat bound for Fengyu Palace.

Unlike their previous trip to the Azure Sky Domain, this time they had the shuttle to themselves, and the entire shuttle carried only their own people.

As a result, everyone became much more relaxed, each person had their own room, and they chose the top few floors, often gathering together to chat.

With Tianluo and his group of incredibly lively people around, every day on the shuttle boat was filled with joy, which helped to dispel everyone's reluctance to part.

With Immortal Venerable Luofeng and several elders of the Treasure-Seeking Rat Clan personally overseeing the operation, there were naturally no fools along the way.

Six days later, their shuttle boat arrived safely in Phoenix Feather City. Upon hearing the news, Phoenix Feather Palace had already prepared beast-drawn carriages and was waiting outside to welcome everyone into the palace.

Leading the way were Lu Xu, Jing Yao, Lu Yan, Gu Wan, and Lu Li—these were the absolute masters.

This was Shushu's first time in the Phoenix Feather Domain, and everything around him was still a bit unfamiliar.

But once she was face to face with the familiar Lu Li beside her, the slight unease that had just arisen in her body miraculously disappeared, replaced by joy and anticipation.

As for the others beside them, watching the interaction between the two, the corners of their mouths unconsciously turned up.

However, there was one exception: Mouse Dad Millet, who watched the two people hiding in the crowd whispering to each other.

Even knowing that the grand ceremony of the joint registration was only a few days away, he still couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness, heartbroken that his adorable little mouse was about to be snatched away by that stinky phoenix.

The more he thought about it, the more jealous he became. Eventually, he even felt an itch to go up and beat up Phoenix.

Of course, the result was that he didn't manage to beat her up. Just as he was getting restless and about to swing his claws, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Rat Girl.

Without hesitation, Shumai grabbed his ear and shoved him down.

With its lifeline in its grasp, the millet naturally dared not cause any more trouble. It could only meekly beg for mercy from the millet and wheat, repeatedly promising that it would never act rashly, before finally freeing its ear.

Seeing that the elders in front had already boarded the beast-drawn carriages, Shumai secretly glared at him, then dragged him to a beast-drawn carriage a little further back, and the matter was considered over.

There is no custom in the immortal realm that couples cannot meet before marriage.

In the following days, Lu Li went to Shushu's place almost every day, either taking Shushu to see the cave or showing Shushu around Phoenix Feather Palace.

Within just a few days, Lu Li had taken Shushu all over the Phoenix Feather Palace, and Shushu's unfamiliarity with the palace had lessened considerably.

Time flies, and four days passed quickly, bringing them to their grand ceremony of marriage.
