Ghost marriage?!
"Hey, I've used my magic to coat the outside of my regular clothes with a layer of purple light. To others, these clothes look just like purple..."
"Thank you, but please leave me alone for now."
"Official uniforms and formal attire have also been altered, and the embroidery on the collars and belts has also changed colors..."
"Leave me alone for a while."
"The official banquet will be held in two days. Now is no time for you to be depressed and nostalgic."
"You go away first..."
"At least change your clothes first!"
"don't want!"
Hu Ziyu buried his head in the pink bunny-patterned Goodbye blanket, curled up in front of the desk and trembled... no, sobbed.
Ling Hong suppressed his anger and tried to make his voice soft and gentle: "I specially brought back some pants that match well, you can try them on." "It will only take half a day." Hu Ziyu stretched out a hand from the gap in the quilt, took out a wet wipe for wiping his mouth, and blew out his nose forcefully.
"I will be sad for half a day at most. After that, I will be at the mercy of you and the Heavenly Court. If I continue crying, you can just laugh at me." The picture on the PAD has been locked on the scene around Hu Zilin, so Ling Hong knew what this guy saw and what made him sad after he left.
Following Chu Tianqi, the instructors, the dean of discipline, the principal, the branch officer of Zhongzheng First Branch, and even the founder of the Comrades in the Alliance arrived. They all spoke kindly, trying to persuade Hu Zilin to give up violent revenge.
The school, the police, and the politicians all showed up. Hu Zilin was sobered up and half-scared out of his wits. He nodded repeatedly and swore to never do it again. Three hours later, the cousins who were helping the brothers transfer their household registration arrived, and Hu's parents followed suit.
As soon as he stepped into the police station, Hu Jiafeng was eager to start the classic 8 o'clock drama on cable TV. He raised his hand and slapped his youngest son, making him see stars.
"What the hell are you doing? Your brother is ridiculous and terrible, and you're still like this! You, you..." Hu Jiafeng was so angry that he couldn't even squeeze out a word. Sun Hui, who was standing next to him, quickly helped her husband continue the conversation: "Unfilial son!"
"Yes, yes, what an unfilial son! He's really like a rat chewing a cloth bag!" The more Hu Jiafeng thought about it, the angrier he became. One slap was not enough, and he wanted to kick his son a few more times.
The people nearby rushed over to stop him, and Chu Tianqi even ran directly in front of Hu Ziyu. "My eldest son, who attends the medical school of University A, and my youngest son, who attends the language training class of Middle School A, are no different from rats in a rice warehouse in your eyes." Chu Tianqi opened his arms to protect Hu Zilin behind him, and clicked his tongue twice.
"Who are you? Stop meddling in other people's business!" Sun Hui said, her anger rising. Hu Zilin held his aching left cheek with one hand and pulled Chu Tianqi's vest with the other: "Brother, it's okay..."
"It's okay, I have something to say." Chu Tianqi patted his head, turned around and said, "While the important people are here, I'll make it clear - five days later, on the seventh day after Xiaoyu's death, I want to hold a ghost marriage!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh!" For a moment, the founder of the comrades in the alliance shouted, Hu Zilin screamed in shock, the eyes of several generations of the Hu family almost popped out of their sockets, and the police officers from the police station and the reporters who happened to be there to collect information broke into thunderous applause.
Far away, Hu Ziyu, who was about to reach out to turn off the speaker, and Linghong, Yuchan and others beside him also showed dumbfounded expressions.
"What what what... What the hell? We've only been dating for three months!" Hu Ziyu pulled back the quilt, stuck his head out and shouted to the sky.
Chunxiang, Donghua, and other older sisters were quite happy, shouting endlessly, "Congratulations, Master, Congratulations, Madam!" Then, they began to discuss what dishes to order from the Shennong Temple's catering department, how many tables to set, how much betrothal gifts to collect, and so on.
In contrast, Ling Hong had a look of disgust on his face: "Who does this guy think he is, thinking of marrying a god before even ascending to heaven!" After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, and his anger subsided a little.
"Not good! Mortals have no idea that you became a god after your death. It seems that it is necessary to show up in spirit to let them know that Lord Rabbit has passed to a new generation and that gods and humans should not overstep the boundaries. This matter must be made known to the Star God, and she must make the final decision..." As he thought about it, he began to input the message he wanted to send to the Moon Star God.
Hu Ziyu was stunned again. All this happened so quickly and suddenly. His whole brain seemed to be tornadoed. His thoughts were always tangled and confused. No matter what happened in the next moment, it seemed that it was no longer new or strange.
Chu Tianqi's resolute voice continued to emanate from the Bluetooth speaker. "I'll discuss the funeral hall and the auditorium with the agency and consultant. We'll rent a grand and spacious venue that can accommodate at least two hundred spectators and media personnel, as well as twelve Teslas."
"I might be able to help with that," the founder said. "We'll talk to our regular sponsors, but I'm not sure about the financial implications..."
"Don't worry about the money. I made more than five million from Bitcoin a while ago." Chu Tianqi said loudly.
"Wait!" Hu Jiafeng was so angry that he wanted to crush the head of this arrogant young man like a popping orange.
"Son of the Hu family, we will take him back and bury him ourselves. We won't give you a single hair!"
Sun Hui also echoed: "Don't think that rich people can do whatever they want!"
Chu Tianqi snorted, "I'm not rich. My parents and siblings are all ordinary grocers. I taught myself to go to A Middle School, I taught myself to get into A University, I taught myself financial management, and I also taught myself how to make huge profits on both the long and short sides!"
"Oh..." Everyone present was stunned when they heard this at first, and then they were filled with admiration, envy, jealousy and hatred.
The Fruit Daily reporter turned on his laptop and moved his fingers across the keyboard, quickly recording the interaction between Chu Tianqi and the Hu family.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, while the other side tried to mediate. The scene was so spectacular that even nearby merchants and the public scrambled in to inquire about the situation. After a long pause, Hu Zilin, who had been left alone by the crowd, slowly raised his head and said hesitantly, "But, Brother Chu, you... haven't you and my brother just been dating for a short time?" The impact of these words instantly diminished, and the founder, the reporters, and the others froze. But Chu Tianqi, fearless, only raised his voice: "What's the big deal? I've liked Xiaoyu for three years, ever since he started A Middle School! Although the legal age of consent is sixteen, I held back until he turned eighteen and started college. And then..." Before he could finish his words, Hu Jiafeng lifted Chu Tianqi's collar.
"Hit me! What did you mean by hit me? You bastard, you pervert, you violated and corrupted my son..."
"When I said take action, I meant confession, you old and conservative man!" After saying that, Chu Tianqi concentrated all his weight on his lower body and used the method of a thousand-pound weight to force Hu Jiafeng to let go in pain.
Inside the Jade Rabbit Temple, the fujoshi and nymphomaniacs screamed in surprise when they heard it, but after realizing it was just a confession, they sighed in disappointment one after another.
Hu Ziyu burst into tears and slammed the table in anger, standing up. "Damn it! I'm fine!" He was still a pure and innocent boy who hadn't seen the world! How come this building is even more crooked than the Leaning Tower of Pisa? In the picture, the old man and the young man were still spitting at each other: "Who are you calling an old man?"
"It's you, you bastard father who gave birth to a child but didn't raise him! I'm going to file a complaint with the social welfare organization, accusing you of abandoning your own child!"
"Don't talk nonsense! He said he wanted to go to City A to study, so I asked my relatives to take him in. What else do you want from me?" With a roar, Hu Jiafeng delivered a straight punch towards the handsome face. Chu Tianqi dodged it gracefully.
"Do you think this is enough? You haven't given gay children anything they need most—"
Snap── Hu Ziyu disconnected the connection between the PAD and the Bluetooth speaker, and closed the Guanfanjing app as well. It was too noisy, too disturbing, too annoying, and too tear-jerking.
In any case, he has been subjected to the schemes of heaven and earth and forced here, hasn't he? Whether his parents cherish him or resent him, whether his lover loves him or is reluctant to let him go, everything is already beyond redemption.
"What? You don't want to watch it anymore?" Ling Hong asked, his tone returning to his usual cold tone.
Hu Ziyu slumped back down on the table, covering his tear-red eyes with his arms. "There's no point in not looking. Besides, my mana is almost gone."
"How can it be meaningless? We need to know where the venue is so that you can perform a Rabbit God appearance drama in front of your relatives, friends, magicians, Taoist priests, reporters, and politicians." Ling Hong summoned his PAD, opened the Guanfan Mirror and continued to watch the sentimental ethics drama.
Hu Ziyu picked up the rabbit-ear-shaped full-face headphones hanging on the computer screen, covered his ears, and then used a small blanket to disguise himself as a couch potato.
Only gods, immortals, criminal investigators, and judges have the authority to download and watch the Guanfanjing APP, so all the female immortals flocked to Linghong, wanting to catch up with the rest of the story in one go.
After a while, Ling Hong actually revealed a rare smile: "Haha, good choice! Excellent choice!
This place is not only geographically connected to you, but also has a wide reach. With the skills of that candidate for the Good Fortune Boy, he might even be able to invite a heavyweight from City A." Hearing about the "geopolitical connection," Hu Ziyu removed his left earphone, wanting to know where the ceremony venue was.
Ling Hong raised his voice, speaking deliberately for him to hear: "The A City University Gymnasium is spacious and has ample space. It can accommodate both family and public funerals. There's no problem parking ten or more Teslas outside!"
"Uh... could you please not be so high-key?" Hu Ziyu suddenly felt a surge of acid reflux. Even though Yu Chan had said that food consumed by celestial beings would automatically turn into cosmic dust, there would be no problems with weight gain or indigestion.
"No! The Star Lord has also agreed. She actually hopes that we are as high-profile as possible. Except for the Star Lord, the other three gods of the Moon Palace have almost no weight and are not taken seriously in the Heavenly Court. The Jade Rabbit Temple has been silent in the mortal world for a long time. The incense of Lord Tianbao is limited, and the associated divine power is not strong. Its influence is only in certain areas. But now it is different." Ling Hong used his magic power to make the PAD float in the air, and with both hands, he forcefully lifted the pink quilt covering Hu Ziyu's body.
"In the human world, one-eighth of countries now recognize same-sex marriage. This means the sails of the times have been hoisted. As the helmsman, you must ride the waves and lead everyone towards the great channel." Hu Ziyu impatiently pushed himself up, massaging his aching temples and tear-soaked brows. The great channel... He suddenly remembered that he still had many comics and novels to finish, and upcoming video games he hadn't had the chance to buy yet. Later, he should be able to ask Hu Zilin or Chu Tianqi to burn... no, provide for him.
As for becoming a navigator of a great era or a promoter of human rights movements, he has absolutely no interest in it and does not think he has the ability to achieve it.
Even in this deadly march, he just wanted to see the world and broaden his horizons, and never thought of standing in front of the crowd to make a call.
However, the Celestial Realm and the Jade Rabbit Immortals had no intention of considering the wishes of the parties involved. Ling Hong continued, "Also, the Star Lord also responded that while ghost marriage is inappropriate, it's merely a formality and has no legal effect. Later, when Shancai Tongzi ascends to immortality, if your love remains sincere and unwavering, you can formally marry, notarize the marriage, and hold a banquet." Hu Ziyu had already been overwhelmed by a multitude of things, and hearing Chu Tianqi bluntly express his desire for a ghost marriage had left him completely disoriented. After putting away his headphones, he shouted, "I don't want it! I absolutely don't want it!"
Ling Hong's eyebrows and lips twitched. "What don't you want?" Appearing in spirit, becoming a driving force of the times, or...
"I don't want to get married!" Hu Ziyu shouted: "He said he liked me for three years, but I only knew him for three months. When I was in A Middle School, he never came to get to know me, showed his affection, or talked to me. He never asked anyone to find out my feelings..."
"Coward!" Donghua cursed in a Shandong accent.
"Vulgar and spicy!" Chunxiang used Taiwanese.
"Besides, I'm only eighteen years old. From now on, I will be eighteen years old forever!" Hu Ziyu stopped to drink some tea and take a breath.
"He's only in his early twenties. I don't want him to spend his life with a 'soulmate' I can't hug or hold hands with. Besides, he will mature and age, and he'll transform from a young, arrogant stock god into a tolerant and generous old Warren Buffett... In short, I want to give him to someone who can accompany him for a long time."
"Oh" Linghong raised his eyebrows and smiled.
The eyes of younger female fairies like Yuchan were sparkling with pearly light.
"The problem is, how should I tell everyone that I don't want to?" Hu Ziyu held his cheek, his head aching again.
"It was revealed on the day of the apparition, but it seems a bit too slow. Or should we use other methods to bring down the apocalypse?"
"No need for that." Ling Hong pointed at the PAD.
"They are moving." Without any transmission cables or pressing the power button, Linghong transferred the screen on the APP to the 20-inch computer screen in front of Hu Ziyu.
Chu Tianqi drove his red Tesla, with Hu Zilin in the passenger seat and the club advisor and members of the club in the back seat. The Hu family shared a taxi, while the alliance founder and the daily reporter drove their own cars. Together, they headed to Weiming Hall, a little-known private shrine located in an alley in the central district of City A.
Hu Ziyu knew Weiming Hall. The society had once called on members to make a pilgrimage there. Unfortunately, he was busy preparing a midterm report at the time and was unable to come.
There are two masters in the hall, one is Mr. Three Mountains and Nine Marquises, who represents the beginning of all things and the beginning of chaos, and the other is Mr. Rabbit God.
The team stopped at a residential area. From the outside, this place did not look like a palace, ancestral hall, or temple. It was just an old-style apartment building with a long history. The white brick exterior had spots and yellow stains left by the years, and the iron was also a little rusty.
The apartment has no management committee, and the elevator cannot accommodate all the visitors, so they can only go upstairs in batches.
