The rituals of Lieyang were grand, so elaborate that Wang Ji and Qi Lin had only ever heard of them in rumors.
However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and Wang Ji patiently did everything one by one.
But that's simple enough. It's just an engagement, not a wedding day, and there was no matchmaker involved, and so on.
As for the wedding date, it was set a hundred years from now.
In essence, it's all about giving Lena and Wang Ji a proper status, since things aren't like they are on Earth where boyfriends and girlfriends can live together.
If a young couple were to get carried away and actually consummate their relationship, it would be a situation that's hard to describe.
In fact, Wang Ji can no longer be considered to be climbing the social ladder by marrying Lie Yang.
Actually, some of what Lena said wasn't wrong. Wang Ji's step into Lieyang did give Lena some support and more backing.
"So this little fatty was miserable back home, but he's so arrogant on Earth." Qi Lin stood on the open rooftop of Taiyin Star, her hands behind her back, looking down at the mottled and broken Lieyang Star, and sighed with emotion.
"Not really." Wang Ji sipped a cup of tea, gazing silently at the idyllic scenery.
Like a dream, yet real, it lies in the clouds; all living beings are far away.
In the blink of an eye, it was already five days after the engagement day, and six days had passed since we arrived in Lieyang.
The Moon Star floated on the edge of this large spaceship called the Cloud Heavenly Court. Qi Lin lived here. She liked this Moon Star, which was over 500 meters in size. She liked the feeling of being at home, rather than living in some palace in this so-called Heavenly Court.
This is also the feeling Wang Ji wanted to give her.
She could roam freely in the heavens, but she knew that she still had a place that truly belonged to her, and she wasn't living under someone else's roof. She could leave whenever she was unhappy.
She could spend a whole day away from the Moon Star, sleeping with Lena instead, but the feeling would be different.
"She's just isolated and helpless under the scorching sun, her ideals can't be proclaimed, and the gods below are only outwardly compliant but inwardly rebellious. Everything she does is frustrating, but it doesn't really mean the country is in turmoil due to a young ruler." Wang Ji leaned leisurely on the railing, quietly sipping his tea. "She's just young, lacks prestige, and doesn't hold real power. Actually, even if she did, it wouldn't be of much use. This girl is sometimes reliable and sometimes unreliable..."
"Well, it's alright now. Although I'm practically an outsider and won't interfere in Lieyang's affairs, she can still use my influence."
This statement is not wrong. Although Wang Ji himself is not very powerful for the Lieyang Civilization, one must consider the long term and the future when it comes to gods.
Because of her youth, Lena doesn't have much prestige, and Wang Ji isn't particularly intimidating either. However, once they get engaged and become husband and wife, neither of them will dare to underestimate them.
Lena is the main god of the blazing sun and the future king of the blazing sun. Although the power behind Wang Ji is still unclear, the fact that he sent three god-level celestial warships to support Wang Ji and intimidate the blazing sun shows that he values Wang Ji very much.
Even Wang Ji himself had easily defeated Yuan Li and severely injured Xuan Tianji, and these two were the top combat forces of Lieyang after Lena and Pan Zhen.
So even without these three flagships, Lena would have more confidence once Wang Ji entered Lieyang, although Wang Ji would lose some face when he entered Lieyang.
"Why...why don't you use the third-generation divine body gene given by Lieyang?" Qi Lin listened to Wang Ji's words and pondered silently for a moment, then suddenly thought of a long-standing question.
At the banquet a few days ago, General Pan Zhen of Lieyang mentioned that he wanted to provide Wang Ji with an upgrade potion for the third-generation divine body.
He just rejected her.
“That was a test.” Wang Ji turned around and slowly walked to the stone table behind him to refill his tea. He replied, “Although it is indeed a generous gift, I will not accept it… Moreover, I will not use genes provided by others unless necessary.”
Genes are not something to be used haphazardly.
Qi Lin nodded as if she understood, but not quite. She had heard from Lena these past few days that Wang Ji had already made contact with the power from which his genes came. According to Lena, these three flagships were lent to Wang Ji by that power to bolster his image.
The people above never come down, nor do they ever show their faces.
Furthermore, Lena added that this was also a form of deterrence, since Wang Ji was isolated and powerless in Lieyang, and the forces there did not trust him or Lieyang, fearing that someone might harm Wang Ji.
She couldn't understand any of these things, but after she understood them, she realized there were so many twists and turns involved.
"The spacetime technology of the blazing sun is far inferior to that of angels and demons." Wang Ji took a sip of tea, looked into the distance, and sighed softly.
"Huh?" Qi Lin didn't understand.
Wang Ji smiled but didn't explain.
It was only after arriving here that he realized the technological gap between god-level civilizations was quite significant, especially in terms of spacetime technology, where Lieyang was far inferior.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the God of War of Nuoxing was able to split Lieyang Star in two with a single axe ten thousand years ago, and that not long ago Sun Wukong was able to break into Lieyang and enter the Southern Heavenly Gate all by himself.
Of course, Lieyang's most powerful technology lies in its use of stellar energy for propulsion.
"You now have a wife, a fiancée, a girlfriend, and probably many palace maids. What are your thoughts?" Qi Lin suddenly smiled.
"I don't have any particular feelings, it's just that there are some things I can finally be honest with Lena about." Wang Ji put down his teacup and waved to Qi Lin with a smile.
Before long, her small, soft body nestled into his arms.
Sweet and fragrant, gentle and lovely, that's Qilin.
"Thank you, honey," she suddenly whispered.
"No need to thank me..." Wang Ji smiled. "Well, since I've taken advantage of this, I have to be able to take responsibility for it. We must marry this goddess with our heads held high, so we won't bow down to anyone or suffer any indignities."
