Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

"If I become the boss's woman, I might be able to control the world, meow," a glint of light suddenly flashed in Linia's eyes as she began to calculate the gains and losses. "That way, I can eat all the high-class meat I want every day, meow... It seems... it doesn't seem like a bad deal, meow?"

"...There's...there's nothing I can do about it."

Upon hearing that she could eat high-class meat to her heart's content every day, Prusena suddenly adopted a look of heroic sacrifice, "This is all to protect Linia! I... I'll go for it!"

After a heated discussion (mainly involving shifting blame and fantasizing about freedom), Prusena seemed to have made a tragic decision. She took a deep breath and, with the steps of someone going to their execution, walked up to Chen Ming.

Then, she tried hard to recall the seductive techniques she'd somehow learned. First, she awkwardly blinked her big eyes, attempting to "sparkle" them. Then, she swayed her hips, trying to showcase her proud "D-level powerhouse" assets, and spoke in a deliberately drawn-out, sickeningly sweet tone:

"Hmm~ Please be gentle, boss... Ouch! That hurts!"

Before she could finish speaking, a precise and swift chop landed lightly on her head.

How dare you show off your meager skills before an expert?

As a seasoned veteran of love, how could Chen Ming possibly be seduced by her youthful allure?

"Alright, no need to force yourself to act anymore," Chen Ming withdrew his hand, his tone a mix of helplessness and amusement. "Sit down, everyone, and eat properly. I believe in voluntariness and won't force anyone to do anything, so don't worry."

"Ugh..." Prusena covered the spot where she had been hit, pouting pitifully, but clearly relieved.

She unusually didn't choose the seat furthest from Chen Ming, but instead curled her fluffy tail and carefully sat down next to him, though her body was still a little stiff.

Linia, on the other hand, is the complete opposite!

Just moments ago she was dreaming of "freedom to eat jerky," but now she was like a wary kitten, slowly shuffling to the opposite corner of the dining table—a safe distance that Chen Ming could never reach. As soon as she sat down, her golden cat eyes would occasionally glance warily at Chen Ming, and her tail would nervously swish back and forth on the floor.

The behavior of the two orc princesses was in stark contrast to their usual behavior (Lynia was arrogant, while Prusena was shy).

Just then, Yin Yue, who had been sitting quietly to the side and possessed keen senses, tilted her head and curiously looked at Luo Qixi, whose walking posture was still a little awkward but whose face was full of undisguised sweetness.

“Sister Luo Qixi,” Yin Yue’s cool voice carried pure curiosity, “What’s wrong with you? You seem… a little different than usual?”

Luo Qixi's heart skipped a beat!

(Is it...is it really that obvious? She's clearly trying so hard to act like nothing's wrong! Does one's demeanor really change so drastically after transforming into a real woman?)

She tried to remain calm, but her voice was a little strained: "Is...is something different?"

Silver Moon frowned slightly, seemingly searching for the right words: "I feel... you seem to be in a particularly good mood, you're practically glowing... and..." Her small nostrils twitched slightly, and she added with great certainty, "You're filled with the master's aura! Very strong! Just like Sister Jin Bisha..."

"Pfft!" Jin Bisha, who was drinking water, almost choked.

Linia in the corner and Prusena next to her immediately sniffed again, like two precise "scent radars," and then nodded frantically:

"This is the taste! It's super strong!"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's almost overflowing, meow!"

"Ugh!" Luo Qixi's face instantly turned so red it could bleed, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into! Being so bluntly pointed out by Yin Yue that she was "full of Chen Ming's aura" was incredibly embarrassing!

Seeing Luo Qixi's embarrassed and almost bursting appearance, Chen Ming's eyes were full of smiles and doting affection.

He cleared his throat and spoke frankly to defuse the situation: "Ahem, everyone, please be quiet. I have an announcement to make. Although I can't go into the details, last night, Luo Qixi officially became my wife."

After the words were spoken, the restaurant fell into a brief silence. Then, the atmosphere of breakfast was instantly ignited by this sudden, sweet announcement.

"Whoa whoa--!"

"Wow!"

"Really?!"

Cheers and jeers rose and fell.

Jin Bisha stood to the side, a knowing and elegant smile on her face, and nodded in satisfaction.

Plans are in place!

Her inner calculations were running fast: Loki's successful "promotion" proved that her "assistance" strategy was highly effective. In order to gain more precious rest time, it seemed that she had to keep up the good work and turn her attention to the three potential stars next to her... Her meaningful gaze swept over Linia, Prusena, and Silvermoon imperceptibly.

Linia and Prusena stared wide-eyed at Chen Ming and then at Loki, their faces filled with a look of sudden realization, "So that's how it is!" and... a hint of relief, as if the "alarm has been lifted"?

Yin Yue tilted her head, her silver eyes sparkling with pure incomprehension, as if she was still trying to digest the connection between the word "wife" and the "master's aura" on Luo Qixi.

Chapter 207: Luo Qixi's Parents

"Anyway, congratulations!" Jin Bisha broke the brief commotion first, leading the applause with a sincere smile.

"Yes! Congratulations, Master!" Yin Yue also realized what was happening and clapped along, her voice clear and crisp.

"Congratulations!" Prusena quickly echoed, her tail wagging gently.

"Congratulations, meow!" Linia clapped her hands as well.

The restaurant was filled with applause and well wishes.

For Luo Qixi, this was indeed a happy moment to remember in her life, but being congratulated so openly by everyone, especially thinking about what "becoming a wife" meant, made her cheeks burn with intense shyness, and she wished she could bury her face in the plate in front of her.

Chen Ming, on the other hand, was much more composed. He smiled and looked around at everyone, generously accepting all the blessings.

……

After breakfast, as usual, everyone headed to the Magic University together. The campus was filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees in the early morning.

At the library entrance, they happened to meet Vice Principal Genius.

"Good morning, Vice Principal Genius," Chen Ming greeted him with a smile.

“Good morning,” Vice Principal Genius nodded, then asked, “I heard… you’ve been living together for a while now?”

As Luo Qixi's mentor, he naturally showed more care and concern for this outstanding student, like an elder.

There was no point in hiding it, so Chen Ming nodded frankly: "That's right."

Upon hearing this, Vice Principal Genius nodded slightly and looked at Chen Ming, asking earnestly, "So, what do you plan to do next?"

"……what?"

Chen Ming didn't react for a moment, thinking that the vice principal was asking about his academic plans for the day, so he naturally replied, "I plan to continue studying those ancient divine language magic documents in the library."

“That’s not what I’m asking,” Vice Principal Genius shook his head and said seriously, “I’m saying that you and Loki have lived together for so long, don’t you… intend to take on the responsibilities you should?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming immediately understood that Vice Principal Genius was asking him when he was getting married.

He had never thought about this in depth before.

This wasn't because he was shirking responsibility, but because in the main world, the marriage system is strictly bound by law. The shadow of "bigamy" and the issue of property division after divorce made him subconsciously feel an instinctive sense of alienation from the form of "marriage".

He had long believed that ensuring the happiness of every girl in his harem was the right path, and that marriage certificate was not essential.

But this is a magical and sword-filled world, with rules completely different from the main world.

Having great strength is a passport. As long as you have the ability to protect yourself, it is not only legal to form marital relationships with multiple loved ones, but it is also considered a matter of course by some circles of the powerful!

Thinking of this, Chen Ming suddenly understood and laughed, "Of course I will take responsibility. I'm planning to hold a wedding with Jin Bisha and Luo Qixi right now!"

After Chen Ming clearly stated his promise,

"ah???"

Luo Qixi suddenly covered her mouth, her sapphire-like eyes widening instantly, filled with unexpected surprise and immense happiness!

Although Jin Bisha did not exclaim in surprise, her body visibly trembled, and her beautiful eyes, which always carried a hint of languor or cunning, instantly welled up with glistening tears.

Two years have passed. Although she has never urged him, deep down she has longed for this official, universally recognized title. The tears she shed now are the relief and happiness of finally receiving a response after a long wait.

"Marriage..." Vice Principal Genius's serious face broke into a smile of satisfaction and appreciation as he nodded and said, "Good! This decision is even more decisive than I expected! Very good!" He was clearly very satisfied with the answer.

Then, Vice Principal Genas turned his gaze to Lokishi, who was still immersed in great surprise and seemed somewhat at a loss: "Lokishi Migrudia Chen, my most proud student, that's what your partner said. So, what do you plan to do?"

"Huh? Oh? You called me Chen...wait, wait?!"

Being publicly addressed with Chen Ming's surname by her mentor made Luo Qixi feel as if her cheeks were on fire. She instinctively covered her burning cheeks with her hands, her mind went blank, and only that brand-new surname was buzzing in her head.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, she suddenly realized what she was doing, took a deep breath, and replied, "...I will work hard as Chen Ming's wife! Thank you for your concern, mentor!"

Her voice trembled slightly, yet it was filled with an unprecedented determination. Sunlight streamed through the library's tall arched windows, bathing her in a golden glow, as if gilding this important promise.

……

And so, Chen Ming decided to marry Jin Bisha and Luo Qixi.

This was an area he had never ventured into in the main world, so he felt somewhat lost—what should a man who wants to get married do? How should he do it?

Upon closer reflection, he realized he didn't know the marriage process in this world either.

He's been in this world for two and a half years, yet he doesn't even know this basic common sense. He spends all his time charging up and cultivating magic and battle qi.

But it's alright. After asking a few familiar adventurers and consulting some materials, Chen Ming finally figured it out—in this other world where strength reigns supreme, marriage is far more direct and free than in the main world. There are no cumbersome registration agencies, and no official certificate is needed. The core lies in two points:

To build a shared home, to own a place that symbolizes living together, whether by purchasing or building.

A public wedding ceremony, with family and friends in attendance, where the couple declares their union under the blessings and witness of others, is itself the most effective "contract."

Both of these points are easy for Chen Ming to accomplish.

First, he already had a house; he had purchased a mansion in the magical city of Sharia.

Although its exterior appears rustic and even somewhat old-fashioned, the interior has undergone a complete reconstruction and modernization under the precise control of [Crimson] and the T-101 engineering robot (Chapter 110). In terms of both comfort and security, it is a top-tier luxury residence, perfect as a newlywed's love nest.

The second task is the preparation for the wedding banquet.

This step is also quite simple, although there are many things to prepare—exquisite food, gorgeous wedding attire, venue setup…

But for Chen Ming, who possesses the S-rank skill [Realistic Materialization], he only needs to materialize according to the list. This saves him the trouble of going out to purchase items, making his efficiency astonishingly high.

Finally, and most importantly, invite family and friends to be witnesses.

Chen Ming solemnly took out a list he had prepared and handed it to Jin Bisha and Luo Qixi: "This is my preliminary list of invitees. Please take a look and see if there are any relatives or friends I have missed."

The two girls took the roster and glanced at the names on it: Loin, Logari (Loki's parents), Silver Moon, Linia, Prusena, Rolz, Maya, Hilfiet, Kinlani, Kinmark, Kin O'Connor, Vice Principal Genus, and Budigandi.

There are 13 people in total.

After reviewing the list, Jin Bisha smiled warmly and contentedly: "Very good, the list is very comprehensive, I have nothing to add."

Her hometown was an inconspicuous little village on the western border of the Kingdom of Lanoa. Her parents were hunters who made a living in the forest, and the family was poor. Little Kimbisa had to help with the livelihood from a very young age.

However, fate took a sudden turn when she was about ten years old—a terrifying monster tide erupted without warning deep in the forest! The disaster swept through her home, and her parents... tragically perished in that catastrophe.

Kim Bi-sa, who was all alone and helpless, was rescued by Kim Lani.

At that time, Kimlani and Kimmark belonged to an adventurer team recruited by a nearby town to hunt monsters. The battle was exceptionally fierce; the number of monsters far exceeded expectations, and the adventurers suffered heavy casualties. Kimlani and Kimmark were the only survivors of that team. Kimboda (deceased) and Kim O'Connor were in similar situations; they were both "lone wolves" who lost all their teammates in the fight against that unprecedented monster outbreak.

The adventurer team 【Golden Legend】 is composed of survivors who lost their companions and became alone in the demonic tide disaster, and they came together by chance.

Therefore, like Chen Ming, Jin Bisha has no relatives in this world.

The only friends she could invite were Kim Lani, Kim Mark, and Kim O'Connor, who were still alive.

Luo Qixi's slender fingers gently stroked the two familiar names on the roster—Luo Yin and Luo Jiali.

In an instant, her azure eyes widened slightly with surprise, and her voice trembled almost imperceptibly: "You...you're planning to invite my parents to our wedding banquet?"

After the initial joy, reality quickly came to her mind. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her tone turned worried. "But... the Demon Continent... it's too far away! Even the fastest messenger, after sending a letter, and waiting for them to receive it, set off, and cross the ocean and continent... it would take at least a year..."

“Don’t worry,” Chen Ming’s smile remained calm and reliable, carrying a reassuring power. He reached out and gently covered the girl’s hand, which was slightly cool due to her emotional turmoil. “Have you forgotten? I am someone who possesses spatial magic.” His voice was not loud, but it contained a strong confidence. “The distance to the Demon Continent is within my reach.”

Luo Qixi was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

Yes! How could she forget her man's almost miraculous ability! His teleportation can ignore the constraints of physical distance; as long as his eyes can see or he has ever set foot in a place, he can reach it with his will.

As long as he spreads his wings and flies high enough into the sky, locking onto the direction of the Demon Continent, the journey he has spent years on may be just a few breaths away for him.

“That’s right! Spatial magic!” The last trace of gloom in Luo Qixi’s eyes was completely dispelled, replaced by pure gratitude and anticipation, and her voice became light, “Thank you, Ming. I… I really hope that my parents can witness this moment and see the happiness I have found.”

As she spoke, the girl reached inside her signature magician's robe and felt around her chest for a moment.

When she reached out again, a rustic yet exquisite leather cord necklace appeared in her palm. The pendant, crafted from a strange metal with a deep, ethereal green luster, was delicately designed as a unique emblem composed of three sharp spears overlapping each other, exuding an ancient and serene aura, as if carrying the whispers of time.

“This is a talisman passed down through generations of our Migrud tribe,” Loki carefully handed the necklace to Chen Ming. “It’s not just an ornament, but a testament to identity, a connection of bloodlines. When my parents see it, they will immediately know that it is a keepsake of me, their daughter Loki.” Her tone was solemn, emphasizing the weighty significance behind this small keepsake.

Chen Ming solemnly accepted the amulet, still warm from Luo Qixi's body heat. His fingertips could feel the cool touch of the metal and the intricate patterns on it. He curiously examined this token, so full of exotic charm, then looked up at Luo Qixi and asked:

"Aren't you planning to come back with me? Wouldn't it be better to invite them yourself?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Qixi's face showed a complex expression of shyness and bitterness. She lowered her head slightly, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her robe.

"This...it's really embarrassing to say," her voice softened, tinged with awkwardness, "Back then...I actually...ran away from home. Even though many years have passed, the thought of suddenly going back to face them still makes me...very uneasy. I need some time to mentally prepare myself..."

The girl's voice was filled with remorse for her past willfulness and nervousness about the upcoming reunion; her feelings of trepidation at returning home were clearly visible.

At this point, the list of invitees to the wedding banquet has been finalized and approved by the two brides—Jin Bisha and Luo Qixi.
