Chapter 268 The Grand Wedding of the Merfolk's Holy Female
"oh?"
When his gaze fell upon her beautiful face, a hint of surprise flashed in the merman's eyes.
My initial wariness lessened somewhat.
When she opened the wooden box, a beautiful and dazzling pearl appeared before our eyes.
I've recently heard that many orcs have come to offer their congratulations on the Holy Maiden's wedding, including quite a few from the land.
only……
The male merman sized up Shu Ning below—
A female wolf?
"How did you know that our Holy Mother is getting married today?" the male merman asked, stroking his chin.
His tone was gentler than before.
“I…” Shu Ning frowned.
After a moment's thought, he spoke, "The Jiaolong Clan heard that you, the Southern Jiaohai, have married a new beast husband, and have come here to offer our congratulations."
"Hmm?" The male merman looked suspicious and secretly tightened his grip on the fork in his hand.
"Don't misunderstand, although I am not a dragon beast, my beast husband is a dragon," Shu Ning explained.
"And where is your beast husband?!" The male merman pointed his fork at her, trying to expose her lie.
Faced with the sharp fork that suddenly appeared in front of her, Shu Ning's eyes trembled. She stared at the fork in front of her and said, "It was just here a moment ago, but I don't know where it went now?"
"This is my first time visiting your merfolk tribe. I'm not familiar with the area and I'm a bit lost. Can you take me there?"
The male merman hesitated, remembering that the Jiaolong clan had indeed arrived that day.
Then I saw the dazzling pearl in her hand, and its color and texture did indeed resemble those from the Western Sea.
“Fine,” he said coldly, taking back his fork. “Come with me.”
Shu Ning secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed behind him, saying, "Thank you!"
Not far from the palace entrance, a large number of orcs from various races gathered to offer their congratulations.
Outside the dazzling, luxurious, and bustling palace of the Merfolk.
"That's where the wedding is held. Go inside and you'll see it," the male merman said before going out to continue his patrol.
Thank you.
Shu Ning looked around at the joyful scene, with melodious songs rising and falling, and every orc's face beaming with smiles.
"Hello, has the wedding ceremony started yet?" she asked the orc next to her.
"Not yet. Are you here to see the Holy Female's new beast husband too?" the beastman replied.
“Hmm…yes.” Shu Ning said, walking through the crowd. Seeing that she didn’t see the couple getting married in the main hall, she continued to walk towards a side hall.
There are significantly fewer orcs here now.
"Holy Maiden, it is my honor to marry you..."
A familiar voice reached her ears, startling Shu Ning. She frowned slightly, unsure whether to move closer.
"No, that's not right. Say it again, who am I to you?" a mature female voice said.
"The female master... we're not officially married yet, isn't it inappropriate to call her that..."
The male's gentle, shy voice was like a sharp needle piercing the ear.
"It'll be soon, whether we call it sooner or later, it's all the same, hmm~"
The flirtatious words exchanged between the two inside pierced the heart of the woman outside the door like swords.
At that moment, her mind went blank.
My trembling hands clenched involuntarily, my knuckles turning white from the force.
She was certain—
It was his voice.
Of all the beastmen, his voice is the most distinctive.
The same tone of voice that expressed his love for her, the same tone that said he couldn't live without her.
She couldn't have misheard.
She desperately wanted to rush in and confront him, asking why he had done this.
Didn't he say that the thing he would never regret was coming to the werewolf clan to be her partner?
He cared about her so much, was all that love just an act?
snort……
What's the point of questioning anymore?
She lowered her eyes in disappointment, tears welling up and wetting her thick eyelashes.
I initially thought he might be forced into this situation, and I was even thinking of rescuing him and helping him escape.
But the voice that revealed genuine emotion was clearly not...
Hearing footsteps, Shu Ning snapped out of her daze and immediately hid in a corner.
"Holy Muse, the auspicious hour is almost here," a servant reminded at the door.
"knew."
"Let's go, my dear little fox~"
Immediately afterwards, a gorgeously dressed merman, leading a handsome and tall male, stepped out of the room.
Shu Ning peeked out, and unsurprisingly, when she saw him, tears welled up in her eyes again.
That all-too-familiar figure gradually disappeared into the blurry vision.
"Jin Tong..." she called out silently.
After everyone had left, Shu Ning squatted in the corner and finally couldn't help but sob.
Inside the magnificent, luxurious hall.
The invited representatives from various tribes sat solemnly beside the main hall, awaiting the newlyweds.
"Third brother, you've never been to the Merfolk before, have you?" Mo Yu asked Mo Li, picking up a piece of fruit in front of him.
"Yes, this is my first time here."
Mo Li smiled slightly and nodded in response.
When he caught sight of the pretty female staring at them, he quickly looked away.
He frowned slightly and said, "Second Brother, let's go back after the wedding."
"Third brother, don't be in a hurry. We're here for more than just a wedding." Mo Yu said, sitting gracefully and admiring the beautiful scenery of the palace.
A hint of guilt appeared in Mo Li's eyes, "Since Father passed away, you and my elder brother have been taking care of the clan's affairs, but I haven't been able to help much."
“Hey, we’re all family,” Mo Yu patted his shoulder. “It’s not easy for you to marry into the wolf clan and leave your hometown. It’s all for the sake of the dragon clan, so don’t think too much about it.”
"Um……"
Mo Yu handed him a shrimp, saying, "Eat something first. You rushed over early this morning and haven't eaten anything yet."
Mo Li took the shrimp, peeled it, and suddenly sensed a familiar aura.
Strangely, his cold gaze swept over the beastmen in the hall.
The female opposite him, thinking he was looking at her, revealed a confident and charming smile and waved her slender hand in his direction.
"Third brother, you're doing something wrong!"
Seeing their interaction, Mo Yu reminded them, "Our Jiao clan can only have one female in their lifetime. Don't forget that your female is in the wolf clan."
"Although they can have multiple beast husbands and their customs are completely different from ours, we are the Jiaolong clan, and betraying our partners will be punished."
"Second brother, you've misunderstood..."
"Okay, that's good." After saying that, Mo Yu gave a fierce look to the person opposite him.
Seeing this, the female opposite rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Tch, it's not like I'm greeting you, why are you being so fierce?"
Then, he stopped looking over there.
The entrance to the Merfolk.
"Oh……"
Han She caught sight of her former enemies and joked, "I didn't expect you guys to come too."
“Hmm,” Yi Yuan replied in a deep, mature voice, “It’s the wedding of the Holy Queen of the Merfolk, so I’ve come to join in the fun.”
Han She raised an eyebrow and sneered, "I didn't expect that you, a dignified leader, would like to get involved in this kind of fun."
"If Ningning finds out when we get back, how do you think she'll punish you?"
"Aren't you the same?" Yi Yuan said as he walked, showing no fear upon hearing this.
"I was invited here," Han She said, holding a seashell with the mark of the merfolk between her two fingers.
"Same."
Yi Yuan took out the same seashell and handed it to the merman guard.
"Please come in, distinguished guest—"
The merfolk guards made a respectful gesture upon seeing the seashell.
"Mm," Yi Yuan replied.
