The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Time flies like an arrow, and before we knew it, the important day arrived: the day when Li Yuqing's parents met Zeng Shen's parents.

Zeng Shen had chosen a top-notch Chinese restaurant in the city well in advance.

This Chinese restaurant, with its elegant decor and antique atmosphere, seems to transport you back to a bygone era. Every detail exudes sophistication and refinement, allowing you to relax effortlessly.

When the two families gathered in the private room of the Chinese restaurant, the parents first exchanged warm greetings and inquired about each other's recent situations. Then, the conversation naturally turned to the children.

With a sincere smile on his face, Li Jianye said to Zeng Youcai in a friendly manner, "Brother Zeng, Sister Wu, it's truly a blessing for my Yuqing to have met such an outstanding child as Ashen!"

Zeng Youcai quickly waved his hand and replied modestly, "Brother Li, please don't praise me. Ah Shen still has many shortcomings, and it's all thanks to Yuqing for being so tolerant of him."

Wu Xian'e gently took Zhou Wan's hand, who was sitting next to her, and said in a friendly tone, "Yuqing is such a beautiful and sensible girl, we like her very much."

Zhou Wan said with a smile, "We've spoiled Yuqing since she was little. We'll have to trouble you to teach her a thing or two in the future."

After everyone had expressed their opinions, they took turns speaking.

At this point, Zeng Youcai changed the subject and said solemnly, "Brother Li, what are your thoughts on the children's marriage? We feel that the children's relationship is stable, so shouldn't we consider setting a wedding date?"

Upon hearing his father's words, Zeng Shen turned to look at Li Yuqing, whose cheeks were flushed slightly. He then sat up straight, looked firmly at Li Jianye and Zhou Wan, and earnestly promised, "Uncle, Aunt, I want to marry Yuqing before the disaster strikes. I will spend my whole life loving her, taking care of her, and giving her happiness."

Li Jianye and Zhou Wan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with relief, and then said, "Of course we hope you can settle down soon. But we still need to ask Yuqing about this. If she agrees, we naturally have no objections."

Li Yuqing, who is usually lively and uninhibited when she is with Zeng Shen, became somewhat shy under the gaze of her parents and Zeng Shen's parents.

She lowered her head gently, slowly took Zeng Shen's arm, and said in a soft but firm voice, "Dad, Mom, I'm willing to marry Shen."

"Ha ha……"

Both sets of parents burst into laughter upon hearing Li Yuqing's response, their laughter filled with blessings and expectations for the newlyweds.

After the laughter.

Wu Xian'e excitedly grabbed Zhou Wan's hand and began to enthusiastically discuss the details of Zeng Shen and Li Yuqing's wedding. Zeng Youcai and Li Jianye, who were standing by, also offered some practical suggestions from time to time.

Soon, after a heated discussion between both sets of parents, the wedding date was set – three days before the New Year, on February 15, 2200, while the New Year would be on February 18, 2200.

Once the date was set, Zeng Shen temporarily put aside his affairs abroad and spent every day with Li Yuqing preparing for the wedding.

They wandered through various wedding dress shops, carefully selecting wedding gowns that symbolized their love; they stepped into a romantic photography studio, capturing every sweet moment with their lenses; and they diligently wrote wedding invitations, conveying this happiness to every relative and friend.

soon.

A grand and spectacular traditional Chinese wedding was held in the Longshen Villa District.

In an instant.

The entire villa area was immersed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere.

Looking around, the entire Longshen Villa District seemed to be submerged in a sea of ​​red.

Red lanterns hung high, swaying gently in the breeze, as if telling the sweet love story of the newlyweds.

Bright red "double happiness" characters are pasted on the windows of each villa, adding a strong festive atmosphere to the entire villa area.

The Shenhuo Manor, which served as their bridal chamber, was decorated in a magnificent manner.

The house was decorated inside and out with lanterns and colorful streamers, and red silk ribbons fluttered in the wind. The exquisite decorations made people feel as if they were in a dreamy fairy tale world.

On the lawn outside the house, rows of tables and chairs were neatly arranged, laden with a dazzling array of delicious dishes, and the air was filled with an enticing aroma that made one's mouth water.

In addition to Zeng Shen and Li Yuqing's relatives and family members, the guests attending the wedding also included Qin Lao, the official representative of Da Xia, and related personnel.

Dressed in their finest attire, their faces beaming with blessings, they added a touch of solemnity and glory to the wedding. Among the many guests, the most eye-catching were those at the secondary table next to the main table of Zeng Shen's parents and Li Yuqing's parents.

now.

Old Master Qin and Queen Aysa of the Tower of Illusion were seated at the same table.

Aysa sat elegantly to Qin Lao's left, her eyes revealing nobility and majesty. She occasionally responded to Qin Lao with a few words and gave a brief introduction. Sitting next to her were Long Kui, who was in charge of the military power of the Illusion Tower Kingdom, You Ling, the patriarch of the Demon Clan, and Yan Xi, the patriarch of the Nightmare Clan.

After greeting Old Qin, Youling, as always, playfully and adorably left her seat to chat and joke with the people around her.

To Qin Lao's right sat Empress Ito Mayuki of the Otome Kingdom.

Ito Mayuki was dressed very elegantly and gracefully at this moment, and her every move already showed a lot of royal demeanor.

Sitting next to Ito Mayuki were Shinryo Kiyoka, the Minister of Finance of Otome Country, and Shirai Sakura, who was in charge of public safety issues.

After Shenling Qingxiang took complete control of the family, her temperament became more elegant, and her eyes occasionally flashed with wisdom.

Sitting directly opposite Qin Lao were Sehir, the head of the most feared and mysterious organization in the Middle East, the Education Commission, as well as the two captains of the Education Commission, Mei Meilin and Mei Meijia.

Seated to Cecil's left are Selena, Jordanie, and Nora, the three women who are the de facto controllers of Australia.

This can be seen.

The table for Old Qin was specially arranged by Xiao Ai, mainly so that the key personnel who will be in charge of the operation of the entire Blue Star in the future could get to know each other better.

At the table in the lower right corner below Zeng Shen's parents' main table sat the four-person group of Wu Nisha, You Ying, Ye Li, and Leona Sha, who had recently been sent to Europe to stir up a bloody storm; Barbara, who was also preparing to establish a base in Southeast Asia; Die Sha, who was transferred to Southeast Asia to assist; and Lisa, who had specially flown back to Earth from somewhere in the Milky Way.

Besides, other tables were occupied by Zeng Shen's followers from various intelligent races, which also drew frequent glances from Zeng Shen's relatives and Li Yuqing's relatives.

For example, Yu Baixing, the chief of the Mermaid Clan, and her people; Kui Shan, the chief of the Sunflower Clan, and her people; Yin Xia, the chief of the Silver Wolf Clan; Huang Xiaoxiao, the chief of the Locust Clan, and her people; Xi Nier, the chief of the Green Lizard Clan; Yin Libai, the chief of the Hidden Spirit Clan; the Black Witch Clan; the Thunder Bird Clan; the Winged Woman Clan, and so on.

Each race represented at the wedding donned unique attire through a variety of costumes, enhancing their elegance and adding a touch of mystery and splendor to the ceremony.

As night fell and the city lights came on, the wedding ceremony officially began.

Dressed in a gorgeous ancient red costume with a bright red headband, Li Yuqing looked like a fairy who had stepped out of an ancient painting. Accompanied by her bridesmaids Liu Tongtong and Liu Miao, she walked slowly and gracefully to the groom, Zeng Shen.

The guests fell silent instantly, their eyes fixed on the newlyweds as they witnessed the most important moment of their lives.

Soon, under the announcement of Xiao Ai and Xiao Di, who were acting as emcees, they began the solemn three-bowing ceremony according to tradition.

They bowed to heaven and earth to express their gratitude for the blessings that allowed them to meet, know each other, and fall in love amidst the vast sea of ​​people.
The second bow is to the parents to express gratitude for their nurturing and upbringing, which enabled them to grow up healthily.

They bowed three times as husband and wife, vowing to stay together for life and never leave each other.

Finally, amidst everyone's blessings, the newlyweds were led into their bridal chamber.

In the wedding room.

Zeng Shen gently lifted the red cloth covering Li Yuqing's face, and in the candlelight, Li Yuqing's face became even more beautiful and charming.

The two smiled at each other, their eyes filled with love and happiness.

After a short rest, the couple walked out of the bridal chamber hand in hand and began to toast the relatives and friends present at each table.

At each table, they sincerely thanked everyone for coming, accepting the blessings and praise from relatives and friends…

After the wedding ended in the early hours of the morning, Zeng Shen, after seeing his relatives off, did not let the believers leave. Instead, he took out the Nine Palaces Illusionary Cage Tower, took all the women inside, and began a shameless, all-night revelry. (End of Chapter)
