Chapter 93 My parents are alive.
The old ancestor was determined to die.
"This silk cloth is no good, it's all snagged, we need to replace it right away!"
"Who placed this screen in the middle? Didn't you notice it's crooked?"
"Tomorrow's desserts must have the double happiness symbol printed in the middle."
...
As the sun began to set, Duan Jiuyou climbed down from the roof and wandered alone through the abandoned house.
The busy crowd was still carefully inspecting every arrangement. She looked around and was occasionally stopped by someone who called out: "Your Majesty."
The name was changed when she recognized Xiao Siji. Back then, it sounded like "playing house," but now it sounds different. Duan Jiuyou smiled brightly and nodded to the crowd of people bowing to her.
—Now, it truly lives up to its name.
The bright red silk and festive atmosphere filled the air. This was her wedding banquet with Emperor Jiang, her first marriage in her more than 70 million years of life.
Duan Jiuyou sighed in a moment of emotion: "I'm getting married!"
I was a little worried: with his temper, we're bound to argue again in the future.
She found it funny again: What's there to be afraid of arguing? She had always given in to him before because he was in poor health, and she felt a little guilty for killing him once. Now that his spirit has recovered, everything is over, so what is there to worry about?
While her magic was inferior to Di Jiang's, her strength was far superior. Ao Zong was born invincible, and could be injured without feeling pain.
Thinking about this suddenly made me feel gloomy; now it hurts.
Removing that painless bone resulted in pain levels ten or even a hundred times higher than normal.
The reason why Ao Zong of Da Qi was always successful was twofold: first, he was not afraid of death, and second, he possessed the ability to be insensitive to pain. Now, this ability that he was so proud of has been taken away because of the word "emotion".
Do I regret it? Duan Jiuyou asked himself.
Of course not. If it happened again, she would still sacrifice her own bones to save him.
Do you care? A little. It's like a martial arts master who once looked down on everyone suddenly having a weakness; it's hard not to feel a bit disappointed.
"If any emperor were to ask me to risk my life now, I definitely wouldn't be able to. I used to be oblivious to pain and always rushed to the front lines. Now, let whoever wants to be the hero do it. Anyway, I don't need to charge into battle anymore."
Duan Jiuyou shook his head and sighed, a little bit of pride popping into his heart.
Because the future emperor of the Heavenly Realm is Di Jiang, and more importantly, because Di Jiang would not allow her to risk her life. She found a very powerful man, and she knew that even if he didn't know she had lost her Painless Bone, he would still stand in front of her without hesitation.
Such a sense of security is not something everyone can provide. Old Master Duan walked briskly, passing through the Blowing Flower Pavilion and a winding corridor, heading towards the Bamboo Washing Garden.
The garden was not large, and there was a separate study where the emperor usually handled government affairs.
Today was different. There were about ten people standing in the room, including a master of ceremonies, a master of ceremonies, and several stewards whose responsibilities were unclear.
After lunch, Emperor Jiang summoned these people into his study, his brows furrowing unconsciously, as if he was dissatisfied with something.
Duan Jiuyou peeked out the window, and Di Jiang smiled when he saw her, gesturing for the others to leave first.
As soon as Duan Jiuyou came in, he teased, "Whose groom is this? He's already so worried before the wedding. Does he not want to get married?"
His wedding banquet was held in a hurry, and there was no time to prepare many things. Moreover, he had high standards, so there were always things that were not satisfactory.
9game said, "Didn't we agree to start with a simple event? Why has it become so complicated?"
"Simplicity is only relative to the rituals of the Wilderness Clan. This is our first wedding banquet, how can we be careless?"
Di Jiang pulled Duan Jiuyou onto his lap, grabbed her hand, and asked, "Where did you go today? I haven't seen you much all day."
Jiuyou found it amusing: "Didn't you kick me out? Now you're saying I ran off to play."
He was getting married early in the morning, so he summoned the officials, stewards, and scribes of the Wilderness Clan to discuss the matter. After discussing it, they found that many of the rituals could not be completed in the Ten Realms, so they changed them to the customs of the Ten Realms.
She listened intently beside him, breathing heavily, and occasionally offered a word of advice.
—No need for that.
—Or we could skip this step.
He felt she didn't value him enough, so he had someone take her out to play. He had lunch with her, but then they went out again. Now he's making it sound like she's the one who's being playful.
"Why don't you just say you find everything troublesome?" Di Jiang laughed.
“I wasn’t even awake yet, so when you listed all these things, I naturally found it troublesome.”
Di Jiang chuckled: "Old Ancestor Duan is so carefree, he doesn't even care about his own marriage. I really don't know what is worth your attention."
Duan Jiuyou blinked, feeling that his words were somewhat nitpicky. She was quite perceptive now and could understand the underlying meaning in his words.
“It’s not that I don’t care, it’s just that I know you will care a lot, so I’m waiting for you to make the arrangements. I do have a bit of a fear of trouble, but when I was strolling around the house just now and saw the wedding banquet gradually taking shape, I felt relieved to have your ‘not afraid of trouble’.”
Di Jiang chuckled halfway through the conversation, pinching Duan Jiuyou's cheek and saying, "Where did you learn all these sweet words to please me?"
Jiuyou bluntly stated, "In a book. Don't I often read romance novels before bed? I learned some tricks for seducing men, and they seem quite useful. But it's not all about seduction. Seeing how much effort you put into our wedding banquet makes me genuinely happy."
So it seems that it's not true that I don't want to think about anything, so I looked at Emperor Jiangdao.
“I remember that in human wedding customs, we have to pay respects to our parents. Neither of us has parents, so how about we set up four memorial tablets on the table and kowtow to them? That would complete this step of the ceremony.”
Di Jiang's expression was strange, and after a long while he finally said, "My parents are alive..."
What kind of memorial tablet is used for a living person?
Duan Jiuyou remained silent for a long time because of this answer.
"Then why do I rarely hear you mention it?"
"because……"
The emperor pondered deeply.
He didn't know why, it just seemed like there was nothing worth mentioning.
His father was a strict father, and his mother was a kind mother, but she was of a quiet nature and focused more on her own life, often forgetting that she had a child. His parents had a very deep relationship, and it seemed that they had a child only to have him inherit the "family business." After he took over as the leader, they went off to travel around.
Seeing that Di Jiang's expression was serious and he couldn't explain for a long time, Duan Jiuyou patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't you have an uncle? We can invite him to be our elder."
If it weren't for what just happened, Duan Jiuyou really wouldn't have remembered his uncle, Di Jiang. Now that it's mentioned, he really thinks Di Jiang is the most suitable candidate.
A complex emotion flashed in Di Jiang's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and smiled, "Forget about him. I, as his uncle, don't like crowds. I'll just leave him a piece of wedding candy. Have you tried on your wedding dress yet? The brocade weaver should have finished it by now. Why don't you go and try it on? If the size isn't right, you can have it altered as soon as possible."
The wedding dress pattern was designed by Di Jiang, and the size was provided by Di Jiang. Duan Jiuyou originally wanted to say that it couldn't be wrong, but since he was getting married tomorrow morning, he also wanted to try out a few hair accessory patterns in advance, so he listened to Di Jiang's suggestion and went to the Brocade Demon.
Di Jiang watched Jiu You leave until his figure disappeared from sight, only then did the smile on his face fade.
Xue Ciyi didn't dislike crowds; he simply had more important things to do.
Just half an hour ago, Di Jiang received a message from Xue Ciyi—Little Master Huang was not dead and had been found by Bai Yanxing.
This seemingly simple message contains a great deal of information.
Since Young Master Huang is alive, he will naturally reveal the truth about the chosen one to Bai Yanxing. Bai Yanxing will definitely go to Earth Breath Mountain, borrow the power of the Ao Sect disciples to open the Heavenly Sea Stone Gate, and the next step will be to gather troops and lead them into the Ten Realms.
It was only a matter of time before the two races went to war. Di Jiang didn't mind fighting Bai Yanxing, but he was very bothered by Bai Yanxing disrupting his wedding.
The wedding banquet was basically ready, and he couldn't possibly cancel the wedding. The simplest way was to deal with Bai Yanxing before he reached the Tenth Realm.
Xue Ciyi's men have already infiltrated the Tiansheng military camp. At the latest tonight, he will wipe out the Dragon Clan before Bai Yanxing can make his move!
Outside the window, the officials and others waited quietly for instructions. Emperor Jiang glanced at them and said to let the master of ceremonies come in, as the wedding ceremony still needed to be revised.
"Her skirt is so long, does she really have to step over that spirit fire basin? What if she catches a fire?"
Lord Wilderness was extremely worried, with two things happening at the same time, but what he cared about most was his wedding with Duan Jiuyou.
