Chapter 637: Rich gifts
Meng Yingying was sitting in the Crystal Palace and waiting. She was wearing a beautiful wedding dress that was made of over three hundred different kinds of precious materials. Each filament was made with Ice Silkworm Immortal Silk from the polar regions, with a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety nine best quality pearls from the West Sea hanging off them. Each flower print was engraved by the best array masters of the continent and each detail was wholeheartedly made by the best artisans of the continent.
Her wedding dress used a total of three hundred top grade jade and had tens of thousands of arrays engraved on them, allowing her beauty reached the level of being a goddess.
Meng Yingying’s shoes, jewelry, and cloak were all made with Miracle Commerce’s thoughts, the best materials on the continent, and the effort of many people. The value of the things Meng Yingying was wearing was enough to buy an entire kingdom!
There was no need to mention Chu Tian’s personality.
Even her elder sister was acting crazy this time.
Using such expensive material to make a useless wedding dress, this was just too wasteful. Meng Yingying was a bit nervous, but her heart was also filled with joy. With a Chu Tian who loved her and protected her and an elder sister who doted over her, could she ask for anything else in life?
Meng Yingying would soon become Chu Tian’s woman, her heart was jumping up and down, making her feeling nervous and happy. She had waited a long time for this day, it had already been three years since she met Chu Tian. There were many things that had changed during this time, but her relationship with Chu Tian had never changed.
“Yingying! Yingying!”
“What are you still sitting here for?”
Vivian and Nangong Yun came running in. When they saw Meng Yingying’s clothes, their eyes lit up. Vivian shouted in an exaggerated voice, “Yingying, you’re really too beautiful! These clothes are just too pretty, it really makes everyone envious! It would be great if I had one like that.”
Meng Yingying was a bit embarrassed, “If you like it, I’ll have Chu Tian also give one to you.”
“Can I even take it!” Nangong Yun sourly said, “Making a set of clothes is easy, it’s a problem of whether I can use it or not. Not everyone is as blessed as Yingying.”
Meng Yingying felt even more awkward, “Nangong, actually I know.....”
“Alright, alright, don’t speak nonsense today.” Nangong Yun and Vivian cut Meng Yingying off, as they pulled her up with one on each side, “Quickly, the ceremony is about to start!”
The singing of the Merpeople was very clear and countless sea conchs and instruments played the sound of nature. The two main characters today, Chu Tian and Meng Yingying had finally arrived. Chu Tian was wearing a wedding robe, but compared to Meng Yingying’s beautiful wedding dress, his was much more elegant. When the two of them stood together, they seemed like a couple that had descended from heaven. They were sparkling so much that people almost couldn’t stare directly at them.
It was finally beginning?
News passed all over the continent at this time.
Miracle City’s army had clashed with the Big Dry Empire’s army several thousand miles away from West Sea City, lasting for two days and one night. The area of a hundred miles was covered in corpses and their blood formed rivers, looking incredibly tragic, but Miracle City had successfully stopped the Big Dry Empire’s army.
The Big Dry Empire’s army were all out, but they couldn’t even reach the Forest Alliance’s territory.
This news not only made people feel assured, it also made people recognize Miracle City’s strength. Even three empire level powers couldn’t invade them, was there a power on the continent that could threaten them?
“I believe that everyone has been waiting for a long time!” Meng Qingwu announced in a loud voice, “Now, we will be beginning!”
There were many different countries on the continent, with each race and country having their own wedding ceremonies. With all the different races and styles, there had never been a single fixed tradition. The Forest of Chaos was different from any other place, not having any tradition at all and it was up to one to design the ceremony themselves.
Chu Tian came out with Yingying.
Meng Qingwu and Chu Tian didn’t like things being too formal, only the elves liked something like that. The two of them pursued efficiency, beauty, and depth, so the ceremony was divided into three different parts.
A vow, a contract, and a sacrifice!
Meng Qingwu held the microphone as she said to everyone, “Now let’s invite our City Lord and his wife to announce their vows to the world!”
“The biggest honour in my life is being able to stand here.....” This vow was nothing more than a profession of mutual love, but this area used microphones to capture their voice, letting every single word they said be sent all over the continent, letting everyone feel their love. Chu Tian spoke for several minutes, speaking with emotion that couldn’t be faked before he took Yingying’s hands, “Yingying, from this day forth, I am willing to be with you as your husband. Loving you and protecting you to the end of the world, to the end of time, to the end of our souls. Are you willing to marry me?”
Singing instantly rang out.
The atmosphere was pushed to its peak.
Meng Yingying was already unable to stand still from her crying. There were many elves and Merpeople who were moved to tears by this vow. Next it was Meng Yingying’s turn, so she took the microphone and calmed her nerves, “I....I don’t know what to say. But Yingying from her hair to her toes, from her heart to her skin, from her soul and her spirit all belong to you. I am willing to be your wife, to the end of the world and the end of time!”
The two hugged and kissed in front of countless onlookers.
Vivian and Nangong Yun were in a daze.
The two were confessing their love in front of the entire world, this was truly unprecedented. It was too romantic and too enviable. They were also women and if they could have this kind of honour, they wouldn’t regret it if they died immediately.
Meng Yingying was actually the same.
She felt she was the happiest woman in the world.
Meng Qingwu saw Yingying’s happy appearance and tears appeared in the corner of her eyes, while her voice also choked up a bit. She forced herself to calm down, “Now let’s congratulate the newly wedded couple. Let us enter the second stage and sign the eternal contract!”
Everyone had a surprised look.
What was this eternal contract?
Could it be they had to sign a contract to get married?
Meng Qingwu explained, “This eternal contract is something the City Lord specially invented. It uses the bark of the ancient Tree of Life and the water of the Eternal Well as ink. This contract does not have any binding on people, but it can bring the souls and spirits of the two who sign closer together. Even if they are on opposite sides of the world, they could still feel each other’s existence. Signing this contract will last forever, even if one’s soul entered the cycle of reincarnation!”
There was such a strange contract in this world?
Chu Tian and Meng Yingying took a drip of blood from their fingers respectively and a golden light soared into the sky. The energy of the ancient Tree of Life and the Eternal Well lasted a long time before dissipating, this was a power that was comparable to divine energy!
When Meng Yingying signed the contract, it was like she could feel Chu Tian’s heartbeat, Chu Tian’s emotions, and Chu Tian’s love and protection for her. She felt the final empty area inside her heart being filled.
Once the eternal contract was signed.
The two were forever linked together. No matter how far apart they were, even if they were in different planes, they could feel the emotions of each other, the other side’s location, and if the other side was in danger.
Meng Qingwu then announced, “We’ll now enter the third stage, the sacrifice!”
The sacrifice was a step necessary for weddings in most parts of the continent, also being the most troublesome and important step. Normally, it was the first step of the ceremony, but Miracle City didn’t care about this. In the eyes of Miracle City’s people, the vows and contract was more important, the sacrifice was something they could do with or without. But to make the wedding more grand and luxurious, they held a large sacrifice ceremony.
This sacrifice ceremony was very slow.
Nangong Yun and Vivian stayed with Meng Yingying as her bridesmaids, and Meng Qingwu stayed with Chu Tian as the vice City Lord, while the other high level members of Miracle Commerce were standing behind them. These people all came to the altar for the grand sacrifice ceremony.
This sacrifice used material worth over a billion gold coins. The energy and essence of the materials used in the sacrifice instantly spread over West Sea City, allowing Meng Qingwu, Meng Yingying, and the other high level members of Miracle City break through by a layer. Although the other people were a bit further, when being bathed in this kind of energy, people generally obtained a large cultivation base increase. There were some people who had injuries from many years ago that were instantly healed.
“The three stages have concluded.” Meng Qingwu looked very relaxed and happy. This was not just because of her cultivation increase, it was more because Yingying had finally found a good home, “Let the West Sea City celebration begin!”
“Long live!”
“Long live!”
“Long live!”
The millions of wedding participants shouted out. The normal guests went to enjoy the festivities in West Sea City, while the richer guests went to enjoy the world’s best feast in the Outer Space Hotel. No matter where they were, it was all free.
Of course, although they didn’t charge anything in name, the people who came to the wedding, whether it was a normal person or an emperor, they wouldn’t come empty handed. Just based on the gifts alone, they earned ten times back what they spent.
Chu Tian brought Meng Yingying to the Miracle Royal Palace, which was all recorded and broadcast all over the continent. After they arrived in the Miracle Royal Palace, the envoys from various countries came forward to congratulate them.
“The Great Origin Empire’s Great Origin King has sent this great general to come congratulate you, bringing ten Immortal Herbs as a gift!”
“The Cloud Wind Empire has sent this Country Guarding Sage to come congratulate you. We bring two dependent countries as gifts, with a population of over two billion. Congratulations to City Lord Chu Tian on your wedding!”
“......”
The rich gifts the far off continent empires gave made people stunned.
Among them, there were Divine Weapons, Immortal Herbs, and people and land. It was simply whatever was precious was given, as now these countries of the continent had all approved Miracle City’s position.
But everyone found that they were shocked too early.
When gift ceremony was half over, there was a powerful interruption.
“The Dragon Territory, the Netherworld Sea, the Dark Night Forest, the Wild Beast Empire, the Burning Heaven Empire, and the Wind Moon Empire have captured the Big Dry Empire and offers him to Miracle City’s City Lord Chu Tian. Congratulations to the City Lord on your wedding!”
When this news was broadcast all over the world, everyone was speechless.
The six rulers had sent an emperor as a gift to Miracle City!
Was there a more overbearing and powerful gift in this world?
This was not a normal position, this was an emperor!
Chu Tian broke out in laughter after learning of this, “It’s been hard on the six of you, come and have a seat!”
If you dare give, father dares receive, there is nothing incredible. Isn’t it just an emperor? From now on, he is Miracle City’s captive! This time, the people of the continent would not just learn how rich and powerful Miracle City was, they would also learn how overbearing the City Lord Chu Tian was!
