The next afternoon.
The long-unseen Sky Island Orchard has appeared above the floating city.
That's the real venue for the wedding, which only the Ghost General, Ghost King, and core members can attend.
The other tens of thousands of contracted ghosts and guests ate a continuous feast in the streets and alleys of the floating city.
Because it is a ghost marriage, it must be held at sunset, when the yin and yang energies alternate.
But the banquet started in the morning.
Ghost hunters, ordinary citizens, and even some curious ghosts from all over the country who heard the news came to participate.
Some people are just there for the fun of it, they don't give any gifts, and they leave as soon as they finish eating.
Many people came specifically to thank the heroes who rescued them. Although these people were not wealthy, they all gave substantial monetary gifts.
Upon learning the news, Xia Tianqiong instructed the deliveryman to take a portion of spiritual fruit to the guest who had given a gift, as a souvenir.
The streets and alleys of the floating city were bustling with activity, a spectacle more grand than any human wedding.
The orchard on the Sky Island, which was originally filled with various fruit trees, has now been temporarily transplanted to other places.
Clear out the space and set up tables for banquets.
The banquet here has not yet begun, because this is the actual wedding reception venue, and the banquet will start after the wedding ceremony.
At this moment, the core members sat there, eating spiritual fruits, chatting, and waiting for the sun to set.
The ghost bride stayed in the bamboo house that she and Xia Tianqiong had built together and did not come out, while Xia Tianqiong chatted with everyone outside.
Huang Yu sat there, resting her chin on her left hand, and casually munching on a red spiritual fruit in her right.
When she saw Xia Tianqiong walking over, she suddenly sat up straight.
With a grin, he asked, "Boss, you just said you were getting married like that? It's so sudden! We weren't prepared at all!"
Her words immediately drew the attention of hundreds of people present.
There aren't many people who would talk to their boss like that.
Xia Tianqiong chuckled and replied, "I'm getting married, not to you, so what are you preparing for?!"
"Hahaha!"
A burst of laughter suddenly erupted from the audience.
The mirror image ghost chimed in from the side, "Boss, she wants to marry you too, why don't you marry her today as well!"
Before Xia Tianqiong could answer, Huang Yu pretended to be jealous, "I'm just a lowly demon, how dare I compete with the Demon King for his favor!"
Suddenly, the gambler on the other side blurted out, "Why don't you be the mistress while Miss Qin is the boss?"
The audience burst into laughter again.
Huang Yu, however, perked up and stared intently at Xia Tianqiong. "Boss, are you going to take a concubine? I'll be the first to volunteer!"
"I'm the second one to sign up!"
The hanged ghost suddenly raised its hand.
Now everyone's started to make a fuss.
The red-clad courtesan and the snow demon also raised their hands, indicating that they wanted to participate.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Tao shouted, "Me too!"
Ying Shugui, who was sitting next to her, was startled and quickly jumped up, pressing down Xiao Tao's raised arm.
"You actually want to become the boss's concubine? What about me?"
"What does it mean to be a concubine? Isn't this a new task?" Xiao Tao asked, completely bewildered.
"Hahaha!"
The audience burst into laughter, laughing so hard they were doubled over.
Everyone was obviously joking, and Xia Tianqiong didn't take it seriously.
The sun was setting in the west, getting closer and closer to the horizon.
At this moment, three figures arrived at the Sky Island Orchard through a teleportation array.
They were Elder Huo, Director Zhang, and Du Fuwei, whom Xia Tianqiong had invited.
After a few simple pleasantries, we were seated.
Immediately afterwards, a few minutes later, more than twenty figures suddenly flew in from the horizon, each carrying the aura of a demon king.
"Mr. Xia is getting married, why didn't you even tell me!"
Before she even arrived, her sweet voice rang out over the Sky Island Orchard.
Xia Tianqiong was not nervous. He had already sensed that the leader of these ghost kings was Hu Qianjiuyue, and behind him were the Three-Eyed Ghost King, the Scholar, and many other ghost kings.
These are all ghost kings from the Wujian Restaurant lineage. They have some connection with the ghost bride, so it's normal for them to attend the wedding.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty demon kings landed on the sky island orchard.
Whether it was the formation of the Sky Island Orchard or the formation of the Floating City, they were as if they did not exist in front of these Ghost Kings.
"Congratulations! Congratulations! You finally won Sixiang's heart. The scholar and I are so envious."
The Three-Eyed Demon King laughed heartily as soon as he landed.
His words made the scholar frown and instinctively take a few steps back. He felt this guy was too vulgar and shouldn't have said such things in this setting.
Most of the twenty-odd Ghost Kings that followed were meeting Xia Tianqiong for the first time.
The eyes that looked at him were filled with inquiry and curiosity.
They were all puzzled. Why would the King of Qin marry this human? Was it to marry Jun Shisan?
Many of the Ghost Kings thought so, but only Three-Eyed, Scholar, and Fox Qian Jiuyue knew a little of the truth.
Those who came were all ghost kings, and their status and position were all here. The ghost bride also came out to greet them.
This wedding had no conventional procedures or adherence to etiquette; it was just a simple formality.
After some tedious small talk, the group of ghost kings took their seats.
Old Huo suddenly walked to the side of the ghost bride and whispered, "Miss Qin, do you still remember the words I once gave you?"
The Bride with a Strange Twist paused slightly, then suddenly remembered that once during the New Year, Old Master Huo had asked Du Fuwei to pass on a message.
The saying goes: "Whether it's a human or a ghost, sometimes death doesn't mean the end; it can also be the beginning of a new life."
The ghost bride was a little surprised. Why would Old Master Huo bring up this matter again on such a joyous day?
