Chapter 444 The Engagement Begins



For this grand wedding, these politicians and other prominent families went to great lengths to select gifts.

Among the gifts here are some excellent pieces of equipment.

Of course, the term "superior" here refers to these individuals.

Their highest level is actually only rare.

After all, even the highest-level legendary items need to be used by them themselves.

It's impossible to just throw out legendary treasures because someone is engaged.

It's foolish for someone to give away their entire fortune just to get engaged.

Outside the manor, Shen Ritian, who was receiving the gifts, did not find anything wrong with them.

Being able to give away rare items is already quite impressive.

After all, their Ryukyu Kingdom isn't a superpower, and its overall strength can't compare to a powerful nation like the Tianlong Empire.

Soon, night fell completely.

All the guests had arrived, including Zi Yueru, Yu Meiyu, and others, who also took their seats.

As "family," Yu Meiyu and Zi Yueru naturally didn't need to give gifts.

Shen Miaomiao was already very happy that they came to participate.

However, even though Shen Miaomiao doesn't need gifts, Zi Yueru and the others won't refuse to give her any.

The gifts they gave were naturally tokens of their affection, such as handmade lucky ropes.

After all, at their level, giving them money or gifts is meaningless; it's better to give them something handmade.

...

As the guests took their seats, an engagement ceremony began.

As the host spoke, the couple who were about to get engaged slowly walked out from behind the curtain.

The moment the newcomer appeared, she amazed everyone present.

Traditional Chinese wedding attire possesses a magnificent yet dignified air.

It gives people a very elegant and top-notch aesthetic without them even realizing it.

Both were dressed in fiery red wedding gowns, which shone brightly under the lights.

Wearing a phoenix crown, Shen Miaomiao became the focus of everyone's attention.

As the bride in this engagement, Shen Miaomiao is a native of Ligao.

People will naturally pay more attention to her.

After the host's explanation, Ye Gubai and Shen Miaomiao exchanged tokens of their love: dragon and phoenix rings.

These two rings are custom-made tokens costing millions.

One ring is engraved with a dragon, and the other with a phoenix.

Although they are just ordinary objects, even without any special attributes, they can still symbolize beautiful meanings.

After the couple exchanged rings, the engagement was considered a perfect success.

Next, it was time for both families to step forward.

Shen Lang and Shen Miaomiao's mother, Gong Ninghuan, came out from Shen Miaomiao's side.

"This is our daughter's dowry. We hope you will treat her well in the future."

With a casual wave of her hand, Gong Ninghuan revealed a treasure trove.

In an instant, everyone's eyes were filled with golden light.

In the hall, a pile of gold bricks appeared.

There are many of them, and they look quite valuable.

"Here are ten tons of gold, son-in-law, please accept them safely," Shen Lang laughed loudly.

Ten tons of gold, worth at least 5 billion.

The sheer amount of wealth given as a dowry left the onlookers utterly dumbfounded.

"Thank you, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law. I will certainly not let Shen Miaomiao down in the future." Ye Gubai bowed and expressed his gratitude.

Ten tons of gold would naturally be of some use to him.

Although it's not very useful, it can still be used to replace enchantments, right?

The enchantment of the Golden Dragon Demon Soul consumes gold each time it is obtained.

That much gold is enough for him to use for a hundred years.

As Ye Gubai collected the gold, the onlookers around him began to whisper among themselves.

"I heard that Ye Gubai is an orphan whose parents died at the hands of demons when he was young."

"And his relatives weren't very nice to him either."

“Look at this engagement, such a big event, and not a single relative of Ye Gubai’s came. It shows how bad things are on the groom’s side.”

“Who can argue with that? Besides, I think this time, Ye Gubai didn’t even prepare a betrothal gift.”

"Hehe, they are not from a prominent family after all, how would they know about things like betrothal gifts? You should stop talking about it."

The guests weren't making much noise, but there were many highly skilled professionals present.

These professionals have excellent hearing, so of course they can hear what they are saying.

Even though they heard it, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

That's reality; Ye Gubai himself is a case in point.

Expecting someone of humble origins to know about matters like betrothal gifts is simply asking too much of him.

Therefore, even Shen Miaomiao and her family didn't think it was a problem.

Because in their minds, Ye Gubai would definitely not prepare betrothal gifts.

"Oh."

On the stage, Ye Gubai smiled slightly.

He naturally heard the discussions from the audience.

With various auxiliary abilities such as the Mind Network, hearing their voices is incredibly easy.

Ye Gubai was not angry at their comments; he just found them amusing.

Before he transmigrated, his world had plenty of dowry and such things.

However, in his previous life, it wasn't called betrothal gifts, but rather bride price.

But the meanings are similar, with basically no difference.

If he has the ability, he will naturally prepare this thing.

Now is the perfect time to bring it out.

Otherwise, these people would think that Ye Gubai is impolite and can't offer anything of value.

"Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I have also prepared a betrothal gift for my son-in-law."

"Of course, the preparations this time were not very good."

"I will prepare another one carefully when we get married in the future."
