Zuan was then manipulated by those around him like a puppet; he never imagined that getting married would be so complicated.
The groom's outfit, in particular, was incredibly elaborate.
He was adorned with all sorts of gold ornaments, and if it weren't for his extraordinary physique, he would probably have collapsed under their weight long ago.
According to the Chang clan members, the more ornaments a man has, the more sincere his intention to marry, and this also represents the Chang clan's intention to show no disrespect.
Zuan couldn't understand, so he could only numbly cooperate with them and choose to respect their customs.
As evening approached, he was taken out for a wedding ceremony.
To his surprise, the ceremony was not held indoors, but in the central square of the clan. The entire Chang clan, young and old, came out, all dressed in festive clothes. The women's faces were filled with joyful smiles, and they all looked at Zu'an with curiosity.
On the contrary, the men all had long faces, their eyes filled with jealousy and anger as they looked at Zu'an.
Looking at the constant stream of anger messages coming from the backstage, Zuan couldn't help but marvel at the terrifying popularity of the Mermaid Queen, or rather, Chang'e, within the Chang clan.
But are these guys really that serious? We're about to get married, and they still can't let go?
When he was putting on makeup and getting ready, many teenagers tried to trip him up, but now that he's in a good mood, he's not going to bother with them.
Just then, a gasp suddenly came from the field. The boys in the distance started to stir and seemed to turn their heads to look in the same direction.
The crowd parted automatically, and a beautiful figure slowly emerged, supported by a young girl from the Chang ethnic group.
Her shoulders were truly sculpted, and her waist slender; even the grand and magnificent wedding dress could not conceal her graceful figure.
As she walked, her slender waist swayed gently, and everyone in the audience, young and old alike, seemed to feel a gentle spring breeze in their hearts, filled with admiration and amazement.
In the Chang family wedding, the bride does not need to wear a red veil; instead, a string of beaded curtains hangs from her phoenix crown in front of her.
This veiled appearance only accentuated her rosy cheeks, making them appear even more radiant, and her snow-white skin seemed to glow with moisture against the backdrop of her bright red wedding dress.
She was looking shyly at Zu'an in the distance, her affectionate eyes brimming with happiness.
When their eyes met, Zu'an felt as if a lifetime of beauty was unfolding before him, with words like "beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky," "beauty that could shame the moon and flowers," and "beauty that could topple kingdoms" popping into his mind.
He could only lament that he was not as talented as Cao Zhi, and for a moment he felt at a loss for words.
Before they knew it, the two had come together. The mermaid queen was filled with happiness at the thought of finally being able to get married to her beloved. She even felt that there was no need to return to the previous world. She was quite happy here.
Zu An looked down at her. Her fair and translucent skin, exposed from her collar, was flushed with a delicate blush, as if a layer of rouge had been applied to mutton fat jade. She was truly a beauty beyond compare.
The elder clan chief presided over the wedding, which was relatively simple in those days.
There is no such thing as worshipping Heaven and Earth; instead, they worship Houtu Niangniang of the Wu tribe.
I don't know if it was just my imagination, but when the Mermaid Queen was worshipping, I seemed to notice that the corners of the Houtu Goddess's mouth seemed to be turned up slightly, as if she was smiling at her.
Zu'an pondered that Houtu Niangniang's status in the Wu tribe was indeed extraordinary, seemingly even higher than that of the other ancestral witches.
Next, they worshipped the totems of their respective tribes. The totem of the Chang clan was a full moon. Zu An thought to himself, no wonder there were moon-related patterns everywhere in the tribe.
He thought of the legend of Chang'e and the moon in his memory, and couldn't help but frown slightly, wondering if the story of Chang'e flying to the moon would ever happen in this world.
As for the totem of the Youqiong clan, it was a large bow.
The Youqiong clan was famous for their archery skills, so it's not surprising that they worshipped bows and arrows and used them as their totem.
After everyone had finished worshipping their respective totems, Zu'an thought it would be a couple's bow to each other, but there was no such step. Instead, the bride and groom were asked to hold hands and lead everyone in a dance.
Dancing in front of so many people would normally be awkward, but luckily the mermaid queen is a very skilled dancer.
It was quite natural to guide him to jump up next to the huge bonfire in the center of the square, and a burst of enthusiastic cheers immediately erupted around him.
Feeling the mermaid queen's tender gaze and the enthusiastic atmosphere around him, Zaun gradually became immersed in the moment and cooperated seamlessly with her.
The atmosphere in the entire square was ignited. Soon, young men walked up to their beloved women and invited them to dance. Everyone sang and danced in the square, and the entire Chang clan was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After the lead dance was finished, the mermaid queen was led to the bridal chamber. Zuan originally wanted to go with her, as he had so much to say to her.
But the young men and women of the Chang family didn't let him off the hook; they all came to toast him.
Zu'an was also annoyed. It was one thing for these men to be unhappy and want to beat him at the dinner table or even prevent him from entering the bridal chamber, but why did these women have to join in the fun?
Moreover, some bold girls even took the opportunity of urging him to drink to get close to him, grabbing and touching him here and there.
If he hadn't known that the Chang family meant well, he probably would have exploded.
He drank bowl after bowl, not knowing how much wine he had consumed. The wine of the Chang clan was stronger than any wine he had ever seen. Fortunately, he was now in an extraordinary physical condition and secretly used his vital energy to refine the effects of the wine.
Even so, he was still somewhat drunk.
Clearly, these strong liquors are also intended for cultivators. If he hadn't just survived his tribulation, he probably would have been drunk right here.
