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

He led the two elders, who were still somewhat immersed in the emotions of their reunion, toward another equally exquisite and beautiful house next to his own residence.

This was the result of Chen Ming's foresight—to properly accommodate his parents-in-law who had traveled from afar, without disrupting his newlywed life with Luo Qixi and Jin Bisha, he had decisively acted a week earlier, buying his neighbor's house at twice the market price. The neighbor, naturally overjoyed by such a generous offer, packed his bags without hesitation and happily moved out. Now, this fully equipped, warm, and comfortable residence became Luo Yin and Luo Jiali's temporary home in Xia Liya.

……

A week flew by in the midst of busy and exciting preparations.

The wedding banquet was held as scheduled at Chen Ming's residence.

The time was chosen to be noon, when the sun was shining brightly, warm but not scorching.

Vice Principal Genius declined the wedding invitation, reportedly because he had to attend an important magical academic conference in a neighboring country. His words were full of regret, and he sent his congratulatory gift in advance.

Chen Ming originally thought that a big shot like Badigangdi would be too busy to come, but the Undying Demon King was surprisingly free and indicated that he would come to participate.

The other 11 people also accepted the invitations and confirmed their attendance.

As the brides at their wedding banquet, Luo Qixi and Jin Bisha were already full of energy from the moment the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window in the morning.

Jin Bisha announced energetically, "Wedding planning is an important task for wives! Leave it to us!"

Luo Qixi nodded vigorously, her little face full of seriousness.

They moved enthusiastically between the courtyard and the living room, checking the arrangement of tables and chairs, the decoration of flowers, and the cleanliness of tableware.

However, Chen Ming had already materialized everything needed for the wedding banquet, so they didn't have much to do; they could mostly enjoy the sense of participation...

Just as the two brides were making their preparations in an orderly manner, the gates of the mansion were suddenly pushed open, bringing in a chill of the early morning.

The two orc princesses, Linia and Prusena, rushed in, their faces red from the cold, their breath condensing into white mist in the frigid air.

Behind them was a makeshift sled, upon which lay a massive, adult wild boar with thick mane and protruding tusks! The beast had clearly been recently hunted, its fur still warm.

"Boss! According to the rules of our beastmen, we must bring the prey we hunted that day to the celebration party, meow!" Linia puffed out her chest and proudly raised her cat tail.

“That’s right!” Prusena nodded vigorously, her dog ears twitching excitedly. “This is the best prey we found in the mountains outside the city, after getting up early this morning! It represents our deepest loyalty and respect to our leader!”

Chen Ming looked at the wild boar that almost filled the passageway at the entrance, and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

He did know that the Orcs had a tradition of offering fresh prey during important celebrations, symbolizing blessings and sharing. Moreover, in Orc culture, the earlier one set out on the hunt, the deeper the respect shown to their master.

Although Chen Ming had no shortage of food, his kindness was still commendable!

"That's amazing... You've worked hard."

Chen Ming praised them, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "But what if you're unlucky today and don't hunt anything?"

“Meow? Of course, I’ll go to the market and buy the freshest one!” Linia answered confidently, without any hesitation.

“Instead, use the power of money!” Prusena immediately added, her eyes clear, as if this were a perfectly natural backup plan.

Seeing the two shivering and their noses red from the cold, Chen Ming felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Regardless of what happened, their dedication in braving the cold wind was genuine.

"Alright, alright, don't get too cold, come in and warm up." He quickly invited the two of them into the house.

Chapter 211: The Sacred Oath

Linia and Prusena cheered and rushed to the fireplace in the living room, where a warm fire was burning, and unceremoniously took the large sofa closest to the fire.

Like a big cat that gets cold easily, Lynya clung tightly to Prusena, the two of them curled up together, letting out a comfortable sigh of satisfaction. The warmth gradually relaxed their tense bodies.

While enjoying the warmth of the fireplace, the two beast princesses habitually began to groom each other's tails, which were somewhat disheveled from their running around.

Prusena watched the two petite brides bustling about in the courtyard and said thoughtfully, "But then again, both Loki and Kimbisa are petite..."

“Yeah, meow,” Linia chimed in, grooming Prusena’s fluffy tail. “But I understand now, meow.”

"What have you figured out?"

Chen Ming poured them some hot tea to warm them up and casually asked them a question.

Prusena looked up, a look of sudden realization on her face, and said in her uniquely straightforward tone, "So, the boss likes petite girls!"

Linia nodded seriously, a hint of smugness on her cat face as if she had solved a mystery: "Meow! No wonder! Boss is always surrounded by... well, even charming beings like us, emitting such a strong 'heat' scent, meow, yet he never attacks us! It turns out it's a matter of preference, meow!"

She used the straightforward vocabulary unique to the orcs, which made no attempt to conceal their physiological instincts, to express her long-perplexed discovery.

Upon hearing the two beast princesses' comments, Chen Ming's face darkened—what impolite fellows! I'm going to crush you two!

Although he thought this in his heart, he didn't show it at all.

After all, today is his big day. He can eat these two beast princesses another day!

Just then, light footsteps came from the direction of the stairs.

Silver Moon, with her blonde hair, silver eyes, and ethereal aura, was carefully carrying a young girl down from the second floor.

The girl she was holding in her arms was none other than Hilfiet, who was wearing an exquisite little dress.

Since more and more beautiful girls have moved into the mansion, in order to maintain a relatively private space, Chen Ming has already properly arranged for Hilfiet and her father Roltz and mother Maya to live in another mansion next door.

Yes, Chen Ming's "mansion acquisition plan" was quite thorough—he bought the houses on both sides of his own mansion. Now, the left side is home to Luo Qixi's parents, Luo Yin and Luo Jiali, while the right side is home to Xilufeiye's parents, Roltz and Maya. They're both his parents-in-law…

Thanks to the abundant magical energy within her body, the two-and-a-half-year-old Hilfiet is growing extremely fast. She can already run and jump, and is as lively as a little deer.

She would come to Chen Ming's residence almost every day to play, since there were endless delicious snacks, desserts, and drinks there, and it was more lively with more people. She could also go to sleep when she got tired of playing...

More importantly, her best friend, Silver Moon, was here!

Although Silvermoon appears as a graceful young girl and is much larger than Hilfiet, if we disregard the incubation period of the dragon egg, Silvermoon is actually younger than Hilfiet when she hatches.

This surprising contrast allowed them to overcome their differences in appearance and become good friends.

Silver Moon, carrying Hilfiet, ran downstairs to Chen Ming, her delicate face flushed with sleepiness and apology: "I'm sorry, Master, I overslept again... If Hilfiet hadn't woken me up, I would have almost missed the wedding banquet."

Chen Ming looked at his sleepy little dragon mother and waved his hand with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, we just made it in time."

He knew that sleeping was in the nature of dragons, and sleeping for months at a time was just routine.

Although under his influence, the Silver Moon's daily routine has been adjusted to a rhythm similar to that of humans—active at sunrise and resting at sunset.

But Little Dragon Girl still prefers to sleep in.

Chen Ming let her have this little hobby.

Hilfiet was gently set down by Silver Moon. She was wearing a beautiful children's dress that Chen Ming had specially materialized for her, with a fluffy skirt and delicate lace, making her look like a porcelain doll.

She tilted her little face up, and her pointed ears, which were of elven blood, fluttered slightly with excitement, making her incredibly cute.

"My Lord, I wish you a happy marriage!"

Following the example of adults, Hilfiet lifted the sides of her skirt with her little hands and performed an elegant curtsy, earnestly offering her blessings to Chen Ming in her clear and tender voice.

As for her address to Chen Ming—"My Lord God"—this comes from her parents' teachings.

Although Roltz and Maya had guessed from the beginning that Chen Ming was not the true creator god.

But Chen Ming is a great being who can instantly kill the Undying Demon King, and his strength surpasses that of the seven great powers of this world.

The entire magical city of Sharia witnessed the battle; that is absolutely true and beyond doubt!

In this world where the strong are respected, even the Dragon God, Demon God, and Death God among the seven great powers can call themselves gods. So, in their eyes, calling Chen Ming "Great God" is not presumptuous at all, but rather a proper expression of respect.

Haha, thank you, my little darling!

Chen Ming's heart melted instantly. He bent down, picked up little Hilfiet, and lifted her high above his head. The sudden "flight" made Hilfiet giggle, her little face full of pure joy.

Only when Hilfiet was satisfied did Chen Ming put her down and gently stroke her soft, emerald-green hair.

Seeing this, Silvermoon immediately puffed out her fair cheeks, her silver eyes filled with anticipation, and imitated Hilfiet, loudly offering her blessings: "Master! I also wish you a happy marriage! May you be happy forever!"

"Haha, thank you too, my darling!"

Chen Ming smiled and opened his arms, giving Yin Yue a warm hug, a kiss, and a piggyback ride, fully embodying the principle of fairness.

After hugging her, he pointed towards the lively living room: "Silver Moon, why don't you take Sylphie to play in the living room? Linia and Prusena are there too; they brought back some 'spoils'!"

"Got it! Come on, Hilfiet, let's go play with them!" Silvermoon immediately took Hilfiet's little hand and ran happily towards the living room.

Soon, the living room was filled with the triumphant voices of Linia and Prusena, who seemed to be showing off to their friends how they had "worked under the stars and fought bravely against the wild boar" to be the first to present their leader with a loyal "morning hunt" gift!

Silver Moon's defiant voice rang out, vowing that she would get up even earlier than them tomorrow!

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming couldn't help but smile and shake his head. As long as they were having fun, that was all that mattered.

Then, he went to the entrance of the mansion to greet the guests.

Coincidentally, as Loin and Logarie walked over from the mansion on the left, Roltz and Maya also came out from the mansion on the right.

"Thank you for your kind invitation today, Your Majesty."

Roltz and Maya quickly walked up to Chen Ming and bowed respectfully. Maya added softly, "We know very little about the wedding etiquette of the deity. If we have done anything improper, please forgive us."

If Chen Ming hadn't explicitly told them beforehand that they didn't need to perform the kneeling ceremony, they would probably have already prostrated themselves on the ground by now.

Chen Ming smiled warmly and gave a slight nod of support: "No need for formalities. Today is a joyous occasion, so please come in."

As he spoke, he stepped aside and led the elf couple into the courtyard.

Just as she turned around, she saw that Luo Qixi's parents, Luo Yin and Luo Jiali, had also just walked to the door.

Chen Ming greeted them warmly, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please come with me."

He personally led the four of them through the festively decorated courtyard and settled them into comfortable chairs in the living room.

When Chen Ming returned to the door, Kim Lani, Kim Mark, and Kim O'Connor arrived together.

Since the Golden Legend team disbanded, the three of them have been living the lives they always dreamed of.

Chen Ming thought they would come over one by one, but he didn't expect them to come together.

"Sorry we're late!"

Walking at the front, Jinlani was as cheerful as ever. She presented a beautifully wrapped gift box with both hands, saying, "The three of us agreed to go pick out wedding gifts together, but we got overwhelmed by the choices at the market and were delayed. This is a small token of our blessings for your long and happy marriage. Please accept it!"

Behind her, Kim Mark and Kim O'Connor smiled and handed over their respective gift boxes, each tied with a red ribbon symbolizing celebration.

"Thank you for spending so much!"

Chen Ming smiled as he accepted the three heavy gift boxes and welcomed them into the living room.

After a while, Luo Qixi, who had finished all the preparations for the wedding banquet, came over. She was wearing a proper dress and her face was beaming with happiness. She softly reported to Chen Ming, "Ming, everything is ready."

At this point, the only remaining guest was Badi Gandhi.

If you cook too late, the food will get cold, and its deliciousness will inevitably be diminished.

Just as Chen Ming was pondering this, Silver Moon suddenly spoke up: "Badigangdi probably won't appear on time. The Undying Demon King has a long lifespan. Beings like them, who live on a scale of thousands of years, don't really have a concept of time... Perhaps it's more realistic to assume that he'll remember to keep the appointment a month from now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming also felt it made a lot of sense, so he decided to start the wedding banquet on time.

……

According to the tradition of this world, the wedding banquet adopts the "standing meal" format—simply put, a long table covered with a clean white tablecloth occupies the center of the living room, on which a dazzling array of exquisite foods that are easy to access are placed: small sandwiches, delicious grilled meat skewers, fragrant pies, colorful fruit salads, etc. The beverage area is arranged on both sides, with various fine wines on one side and tempting juices on the other, allowing guests to help themselves to their liking.

The advantage of this format is that it frees up space for events like ceremonies or dances.

Of course, comfortable sofas and chairs have also been thoughtfully placed in several corners of the living room so that everyone can rest when they feel tired.

When Chen Ming, Jin Bisha, and Luo Qixi, dressed in formal attire, stood side by side at the front of the living room, the previously slightly noisy room instantly fell silent. Eleven pairs of eyes, filled with blessings, curiosity, and relief, focused on them.

Even though Chen Ming is very powerful, the nervousness that belongs to the "groom" still quietly crept into his heart when facing his first wedding ceremony.

Just then, two warm and soft hands simultaneously grasped his slightly cool fingers. He turned his head and saw Jin Bisha's encouraging, shy smile on his left and Luo Qixi's firm yet gentle gaze on his right. The two of them were whispering encouragement to him almost at the same time!

"Oh dear, boss, your face is all red, meow. Hehe~"

Linia's mischievous voice rang out, neither too loud nor too soft, her cat-like eyes gleaming with anticipation.

"Lynia, be quiet! This is a crucial moment!"

Prusena became unusually serious, nudging her companion with her elbow. Her dog ears stood straight up, and she looked focused.

Great, add meat to her dinner!

Thinking this, Chen Ming took a deep breath, met the warm gazes of the guests, and began to speak: "Ahem. I sincerely thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to come today..."

"Hahaha! At this very moment, I make my grand entrance!"

A thunderous burst of laughter suddenly rang out.

Interrupted from speaking, Chen Ming turned his head and saw a huge figure clumsily trying to squeeze through the door frame at the back door connecting to the kitchen.

With obsidian-like skin, an imposingly tall figure, and six tangled arms that looked somewhat disheveled in the narrow space, it was none other than the immortal demon king, Badigandi!
