Asura Emperor Venerable
Chapter 1389: The Wedding
The wedding date has been set, but Shi Hao hasn’t had a chance to meet Su Manman.
According to the Illusionary Sea Immortal King, girls should be a bit reserved; they shouldn’t meet the groom before the wedding. Besides, can’t he wait for just a few days?
What surprised Shi Hao was the lack of reaction from the Shi Family.
He had already heard from Su Mei that his future mother-in-law wanted to marry Su Manman to Shi Yun, to strengthen family ties and better control the power at the Summit of the Stars.
Therefore, their silence was unusual.
"Are they planning to surprise me at the wedding?" Shi Hao murmured.
An Immortal King marrying off his daughter is no ordinary affair.
The Illusionary Sea Immortal King not only invited some major powers within the domain to attend but also extended invitations to several nearby Immortal Kings, asking them to bring their descendants to celebrate.
Naturally, the Xuan Bing Immortal King from the Xuan Bing Immortal Realm also received an invitation, as it’s only normal for Shi Hao’s "mother" to be invited.
Shi Hao felt troubled; the Xuan Bing Immortal King always believed he was the reincarnation of the Immortal Venerable, wanting to devour him to gain his "Origin of Immortal Venerable." Would this formidable Immortal King openly try to take him away?
Of course, the Xuan Bing Immortal King might suspect that an Immortal Venerable was backing him, making it unlikely that she would take such a risk.
However, precautions are necessary.
Shi Hao once again found the Purple Gold Rat and took back the Immortal Abode, while Weng Nanqing continued to hide inside, unwilling to come out.
——Her husband is about to marry another. No matter how prepared she was, it must be incredibly painful.
So, she chose to escape, avoiding witnessing the scene.
After all, she was like a moth drawn to the flame.
Her heart aches but without regret.
Day by day passed, and soon it was the day of Shi Hao and Su Manman’s wedding.
Guests were gathered like clouds.
The Illusionary Sea Immortal King had invited other Immortal Kings, but since it wasn’t his wedding, merely marrying off a daughter, the other Immortal Kings could either pay respect and attend or politely decline, which was understandable.
Nevertheless, within this domain, who would dare refuse an Immortal King’s invitation?
Moreover, this was an event worth bragging about for a lifetime, something sought after!
Only two powers were particularly conflicted.
The Xia Family and Kuanglang Sect.
Previously, when Shi Hao emerged from the City of the Dead and flew straight to the Summit of the Stars, everyone saw the scene. Even a fool could guess that the Su Family’s prestigious fiancé was Shi Hao.
Thus, they wondered how they would be retaliated against after having pursued Shi Hao before.
Immortal Kings are magnanimous, but what about Shi Hao?
According to what they knew, this boy was ruthless, even daring to strike against an Immortal King’s son, indicating a strong desire for revenge. So, if they went to the Summit of the Stars for the wedding, would they just be walking into a trap?
The problem is, if the Immortal King truly decided to act, where could they possibly flee?
With no other option, they had to brace themselves and attend.
In fact, Shi Hao had no time to bother about them now.
With the help of two maids, he was selecting his outfit, as this was the most beautiful moment of his life. He had to present his best self.
Even if he didn’t care, he had to consider Su Manman.
Finally, he was dressed and ready.
Handsome, truly handsome.
Originally strikingly handsome, now dressed in a grand outfit, he looked devastatingly stunning. The two maids by his side had been staring so long that Shi Hao worried that if anyone barged in now, they might mistakenly think he was doing something to them.
Fortunately, no such misunderstanding occurred.
The officiant arrived to escort Shi Hao to the wedding venue.
As he entered, the atmosphere instantly heightened, and many people began cheering loudly.
Those present were forces from the Phantom Sea Immortal Domain, qualified to attend.
Among the guests, there were both elders and young people. The young people looked at Shi Hao with envy.
When Shi Hao was boasting everywhere about marrying Su Manman, they didn’t take it seriously at all, but now?
In such a short time, he truly became the prestigious fiancé of the Su Family.
It turns out, thick-skinned is the key to wooing someone?
The people from the Xia Family and Kuanglang Sect wore somber expressions; Shi Hao becoming the Su Family’s son-in-law was undoubtedly bad news for them. Yet, how could they dare show unhappiness at an Immortal King’s wedding?
Hence, they forced themselves to smile, awkwardly as if swallowing hundreds of flies.
Shi Hao also noticed them, revealing a sneer on his face.
He certainly planned to settle scores with these people, but he wouldn’t use the Su Family’s power.
——He’ll rely on himself!
Isn’t it just the Jade Immortal realm? He only needs to advance a step further.
Of course, the Xia Family, once a former Immortal King power, likely still has some of the Immortal King’s measures left, not to be underestimated.
Leave it for now; today is his big day.
At this moment, the bride also entered from the other side of the hall.
Then, in front of everyone, Su Manman lifted her red veil and looked at Shi Hao, her charming face blossoming into an incredibly bright smile.
Sometimes silence speaks louder than words.
Shi Hao felt as if his heart was struck heavily, filled with happiness.
He nodded towards Su Manman, meaning, I’m finally here to marry you.
Su Manman also nodded at him, indicating, I know, I always knew.
Then Su Mei hurriedly covered her red veil again.
Please, it’s your big day, how many people are watching!
"Immortal King Changling has arrived!"
"Qinghe Immortal King has arrived!"
"East River Immortal King has arrived!"
Suddenly, the officiant called out loudly, seemingly using all his strength, his voice even hoarse.
——The Illusionary Sea Immortal King had invited four Immortal Kings, and now the three invited Immortal Kings had arrived together, showing great respect for the Illusionary Sea Immortal King.
After all, he is an upper-grade Immortal King!
With the arrival of the three Immortal Kings, the Illusionary Sea Immortal King personally went out to greet them, and then all four prestigious figures entered shoulder to shoulder.
Immortal Kings, masters of their domains, high above, only to be admired.
"Shi Hao, Manman, come and greet your uncles and uncles," the Illusionary Sea Immortal King said with a smile, beckoning Shi Hao and Su Manman.
The newlyweds promptly went up to pay respects to the three Immortal Kings.
"Truly a pair of outstanding individuals!" The Immortal King Changling was the first to say, then taking out a small box and handing it to Shi Hao, "Here, this is for you both."
Shi Hao and Su Manman quickly expressed their thanks together.
Next, the Qinghe Immortal King and East River Immortal King also presented their gifts one by one, making Shi Hao itch with curiosity. The gifts from Immortal Kings wouldn’t be ordinary, but what could they be?
Yet, in front of Immortal Kings, he couldn’t bring himself to open them, so he had to suppress his curiosity.
"Three Dao Brothers, please be seated," the Illusionary Sea Immortal King said with a smile.
Immortal King Changling and the others nodded with pleasure and sat together in the upper seats with the Illusionary Sea Immortal King.
"Let the wedding begin!" The officiant called loudly.
"Wait!" A voice suddenly rang out abruptly.
