Chapter 1286 Finale 6
Three months later——
All the cities in the Continent of Gods were built, and Luo Li finally had some free time.
One day, after finally dividing up the territories of all the water monsters, she stretched.
When I turned my head, I saw a tall and handsome man leaning against the door with his arms folded.
Luo Li narrowed her eyes and smiled happily, "Did you come here specifically at this time? It's always so accurate."
Di Xuanming raised an eyebrow and walked over. "If I hadn't always come at the right time, would you still have the energy to pay attention to me?"
Luo Li coughed lightly, blinking her eyes guiltily, "Look at what you're saying. I've been a bit busy lately."
Di Xuanming walked up to her, leaned over, and gently brushed the loose hair on her forehead with his fingertips. The smile in his eyes could not be hidden, but with a seriousness that did not allow for any discussion: "Now that we are done, it's our turn."
Luo Li's heart skipped a beat. She pretended not to understand and turned around to clear the files on the table. "What could possibly happen to us? The Continent of the Gods has just been stabilized, and there are still many trivial matters to deal with..."
He gently grasped her wrist, causing her to turn around and fall into his arms.
His breath enveloped her, and his deep voice fell into her ears, like a feather tickling her heart: "Luo Li, you promised me that you would marry me when the world is at peace."
Her cheeks burned, "When did I say that?!"
"Isn't that what you think?" Di Xuanming lowered his head, nuzzling the tip of his nose against the top of her head, his tone a little aggrieved. "I've waited so long, don't you like me anymore? You can't play tricks on me."
Luo Li's heart softened by what he said. She looked up into his eyes, where her shadow was clearly reflected, and full of expectations.
She bit her lip and teased him deliberately: "But I'm not ready yet... The wedding dress needs to be embroidered and the wedding banquet needs to be held. You have to give me some time, right?"
The light in Di Xuanming's eyes grew brighter, and he tightened his grip on her wrist, his voice tinged with joy. "Don't worry about that. I've already had the wedding dress prepared. It's made of silk spun by Arctic silkworms, and embroidered with ninety-nine star flowers. I've also decided on a date for the wedding banquet. Three days from now is an auspicious day, perfect for celebrations between heaven and earth."
Luo Li was stunned: "You...you have been prepared for a long time?"
"Yes." He nodded, took out a brocade box from his sleeve, opened it, and inside lay a jade pendant. The jade pendant was carved with a pair of entwined phoenixes. The jade was warm and smooth, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
"This is a family heirloom of the imperial family, called the Tongxin Pendant. Wear it, and you will never be separated again in your lifetime."
He took her hand and gently fastened the jade pendant around her wrist. The cool jade against her skin warmed her heart.
"Are you...forcing me to get married?" Luo Li looked at him, unable to hide the smile in her eyes, but there was a hint of anger in her tone.
Di Xuanming chuckled and hugged her tighter: "It's a forced marriage."
He lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips, gently but firmly, "But I will only force you to marry me if you are willing to do so."
Lan Xiaoxiao's noisy voice could be heard in the distance. She was probably arguing with Song Wanbai about going to pick spiritual fruits. Shen Fuzhou's loud voice also mixed in, saying that he wanted to make the best wedding wine for the newlyweds.
The sunlight filtered through the window lattice and fell on the two people's clasped hands. The heart-shaped pendant glowed softly in the light.
Luo Li leaned in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and whispered, "Three days later, then three days later. But..."
She looked up and winked slyly, "When the time comes, you have to draw my eyebrows yourself, and accompany me to serve tea to my parents."
Di Xuanming laughed, lowered his head and kissed her lips, his voice vague but clear: "It's all up to you."
Three days later, the City of Gods was decorated with lights and red silks filled the sky.
From the Observatory to the City Lord's Mansion, the road was covered with spiritual petals, and the air was filled with intoxicating fragrance.
Luo Li was wearing the starry wedding dress and standing in front of the bronze mirror. She looked at her reflection in the mirror with her cheeks flushed.
Di Xuanming was wearing a black wedding gown with a red jade belt around his waist. He walked behind her and looked at her in the mirror, the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowing.
He picked up the eyebrow pencil and gently drew her eyebrows, his movements were clumsy but serious.
"It's a little crooked." Luo Li said with a smile.
"Then I'll try again." He stubbornly wanted to revise it, but the more he revised it, the more messy it became, causing Luo Li to laugh continuously.
Mu Wanqing's voice came from outside the door: "Ali, the auspicious time is almost here."
Di Xuanming put down his eyebrow pencil, held her hand, and said with a scorching gaze, "Let's go, my bride."
The main road from the City Lord's Mansion to the Observatory was already packed with excited crowds.
When the two figures, one Xuan and one Hong, appeared side by side, the deafening cheers and blessings instantly rushed into the sky!
"City Lord! Emperor! May you have a long and happy marriage!"
"Congratulations, City Lord! Congratulations, Emperor!"
"Lord Luo Li! You must be happy!"
Countless spiritual masters spontaneously flocked to the streets, with the most sincere smiles on their faces, scattering spiritual plant petals and stardust that symbolize blessings.
The entire long street became a river of light and an ocean of joy.
Lan Xiaoxiao, wearing a brand new goose yellow dress, jumped excitedly in the crowd, waving her arms vigorously: "Ali! Ali! Look here! Luo Li, you are simply beautiful today!"
Song Wanbai stood beside her, protecting her from being squeezed, looking at the beautiful couple in the distance, with pure blessings and smiles in his eyes.
Shen Fuzhou was wearing a formal brocade robe today, a rare sight. He was holding a wine gourd in his hand and sighed to An Shuxue beside him: "Tsk tsk, such pomp and grandeur, even my newly refined Drunk Thousand Years pales in comparison! But at the wedding banquet later, this wine of mine will definitely be the first order!"
An Shuxue nodded with a smile, her eyes following Luo Li's figure gently.
Feng Wuhen had a faint smile on his lips, and there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes that no one else could capture.
Bei Mingyu, Mo Yizhou and Yue Hanchuan stood on a higher roof, holding swords, looking at the grand scene below, with a smile of satisfaction on their lips.
Mu Ze and Ye Yichen, like good brothers, hugged each other's shoulders and shouted loudly.
Luo Qingzhu and the other two stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, watching their sister approach step by step. Their eyes were moist, but on their lips was the warmest smile of a brother.
Beside him, Luo Qi held Mu Wanqing's hand tightly. The couple looked at their daughter with the same pride, relief and deep reluctance in their eyes.
The Mu family members stood behind the two of them, with relief in their eyes as well.
The leaders of various major forces were also standing below, looking at this pair of lovers who had gone through so many hardships, their eyes full of congratulations.
Di Xuanming held Luo Li's hand tightly all the way, ignoring all the noise. The only thing left in his world was the woman beside him wearing a starry wedding dress.
He carefully brushed away the occasional falling petals for her, used his tall body to shield her from the surging crowd, and took every step with utmost care.
Finally, they reached the observatory.
This place has already been newly decorated and turned into a sacred wedding hall.
The huge paulownia spirit tree stretched out its new branches and leaves, swaying gently in the breeze, casting fine golden light.
In the center of the platform, a ceremonial platform made of pure starlight stone stands quietly, emitting a soft and solemn light.
The important guests from all over the mainland and the representatives of major forces have all taken their seats solemnly.
When the two newlyweds stood in front of the ceremony platform, the world seemed to have quieted down, leaving only the sound of wind blowing through the spiritual trees and countless breathless gazes from under the observatory.
The officiating ceremony was a highly respected old priest of the Frozen Throne. He was dressed in solemn robes, and his voice, aged yet full of power, echoed between heaven and earth:
"The auspicious time has arrived! With the stars in the sky as witnesses, and the mountains and rivers and the earth as proof! Today, Emperor Xuanming and Luo Li of the Luo family have become united in heart and will be husband and wife forever!"
"When the starlight is drawn, heaven and earth will witness it together!" The old priest raised his staff and pointed it at the sky.
In an instant, the originally clear daytime sky seemed to be opened up by an invisible force to reveal a corner of night. Countless bright stars suddenly lit up, and cast down soft and pure starlight beams, precisely covering the newlyweds on the ceremony platform.
Luo Li's wedding dress shone brightly in the starlight, as if covered with a layer of flowing galaxy.
The dark golden dragon pattern on Emperor Xuanming's robe seemed to come alive, swimming in the starlight.
"Bow twice to our parents, and may their grace last forever!" Di Xuanming and Luo Li turned around and bowed deeply to Mu Wanqing and Luo Qi who were standing in front of them.
Mu Wanqing had tears in her eyes, but she tried hard to maintain a smile and nodded gently.
Luo Qi's eyes also turned slightly red, and he returned the greeting solemnly.
"Husband and wife bow to each other, and be united in heart forever!" Face to face, under the witness of the starry sky, the two slowly bowed and made the most solemn promise to each other in their lives.
The moment their foreheads touched, Di Xuanming clearly felt the slight trembling from Luo Li's fingertips, as well as the equally fiery determination.
He raised his head and saw the smile in her eyes, which was brighter than the starlight and warmer than the sun.
In the eyes of the two, there is the purest love without any impurities.
After years of separation and life and death, no matter what happened, their love has not changed in the slightest.
"The ceremony is completed!" The old priest's voice, filled with supreme joy and declaration, resounded through the sky.
"The ceremony is over--!!!" The city below erupted in earth-shaking cheers!
"Congratulations to the City Lord on his wedding!"
"City Lord, you must be happy!!"
Bells and drums are ringing, and spiritual birds are circling.
Countless spiritual beams of blessing light rose from all over the city, reaching into the sky, illuminating the entire City of Gods like a fairyland.
On the ceremony stage, Di Xuanming could no longer hold back. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he reached out and gently lifted Luo Li's chin.
A kiss filled with all the waiting, all the affection, and all the cherishing was deeply imprinted on her lips.
The starlight gently enveloped them, imprinting the eternity of this moment in the hearts of every witness.
Luo Li closed her eyes, feeling the warmth on her lips and the throbbing deep in her soul.
All the hardships, all the separations of life and death, all the difficulties and obstacles, at this moment, turned into the warmth of clasped palms and the sweetness of lips touching.
In the audience, friends and relatives all watched this scene with smiles on their faces.
No one would not be moved by their feelings, let alone those who have been with them all the way?
The stars bear witness, and the continent celebrates together.
From then on, year after year, we will hold hands and walk side by side into the vast starry sky, and spend the rest of our lives together in peace.
