159 Marriage

After December, it was the new year.

Godfiends visited each other as a new year tradition. It was a joyous occasion. In fact, many Godfiends didn’t care about the new year festivities, but the Godfiends stationed at city passes were different. They might die in battle at any time, so they paid special attention to New Year’s Eve. After 800 years, Godfiends at city passes had made it a tradition to visit each other and celebrate the new year together.

“It’s really lively during the new year.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue walked along North River Pass’s streets. Many hawkers had set up stalls along the streets, and many people were performing acrobatics. People wore their best clothes as they celebrated.

“North River Pass’s population is slightly lower than Eastcalm Prefecture, but the atmosphere during the new year is more vibrant,” praised Meng Chuan with a smile.

The two walked alongside each other.

“Ah Chuan, we’ve been here for more than a year. When do you plan on getting married?” asked Liu Qiyue softly, her face slightly red.

Soon, the date was set. It was to happen on 26th January, a particularly joyous day for marriage based on the almanac.

…

26th January.

Meng Chuan was alone on the bed.

“Today is the day of my wedding.” Meng Chuan smiled when he saw no one beside him. This was because Liu Qiyue had moved to another manor last night, where Liu Yebai stayed temporarily.

Meng Chuan had requested a North River Pass Godfiend to bring his family from Eastcalm Prefecture on a giant bird. He and Liu Qiyue were extremely important to North River Pass, so they couldn’t leave as they pleased. It wasn’t a big deal for ordinary Godfiends to leave temporarily. North River Pass was 6,500 kilometers away from Eastcalm Prefecture. It was too far. Many guests couldn’t come by themselves. They had to be escorted via flying mounts.

The North River Pass’s flying mount was a third Firmament demon monarch. After being controlled by Archean Mountain completely, it was very loyal! It was large, and it had a wingspan of over 100 feet. It had a very wide back, allowing Meng Dajian, Liu Yebai, several Meng family members, Liu Yebai’s good friend, and Ge Yu—Mirror Lake Dao Academy’s dean—to ride upon it.

“Chuan’er, hurry up. There’s still a lot of things to do today.” The fat Meng Dajiang was very anxious. He dragged Meng Chuan to a group of women.

Meng Chuan smiled and obediently put on his groom’s gown. The women put some makeup on him, to which he said, “Don’t make it too thick.”

“Quite the red face, I must say. You are definitely covered in quite a bit of rouge.” Shi Xiu couldn’t help but laugh. He was amused.

“Good, good. It’s pretty good,” echoed Zhang Yunhu.

“I watched Meng Chuan, and Liu Qiyue grow up. Liu Qiyue often visited Mirror Lake Dao Academy to look for Meng Chuan,” said Ge Yu, the Meng family clansmen beside him. “I also watched them head to Archean Mountain together. Now that they are getting married, I’m very happy that I can attend their wedding. I’m glad my disciple still thinks of me as his master.”

“It’s not noon yet, and you’re already half drunk. Don’t drink too much. You can drink as much as you want tonight,” said a Meng family elder.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’m not drunk at all. I’m still sober.” Ge Yu’s face was flushed red. He was a drunkard and loved alcohol. His joy today just made him drink more.

…

Meng Chuan chatted with everyone for a while.

“It’s time,” shouted Meng Dajiang immediately. “Chuan’er, hurry up. It’s time to receive the bride.”

“Receive the bride?” Meng Chuan immediately stood up.

“Lord Meng, come, come. Wear the red flower.” Three women ran over and tied a red flower to Meng Chuan’s chest. It added to the joyous vibes.
