Chapter 403: Chapter 403: Zi Family’s Holy Clan Arrives, The Truth Revealed! (Please Follow)

"Holy shit, that’s some serious luck right there."

"One’s the Qin family’s girl from Jinling City, who’s the other?"

"That’s our Venerable Alliance Leader, Ziran!"

"She also went by another title, the number one beauty in Imperial Capital."

"Damn, the Venerable Alliance Leader, that’s a top-tier big shot, and she’s drop-dead gorgeous too. I’m jealous as hell."

"Envy, jealousy, hate!"

When the guests heard this, no matter if they were in the main hall or outside, they all gasped and started gossiping up a storm.

Meanwhile, when they looked at Qin Platform and Yun Bing, there was an extra bit of respect in their eyes.

To let their daughters marry the same person, ignoring society’s side-eye all for the sake of love, that kind of nerve and broad-mindedness, it definitely wasn’t something they could pull off.

"I’ve got a question, if two women are marrying the same guy, then the groom can only form a contract with one of them, right? What about the other one?"

"Some unofficial histories say there are weirdos who can contract with multiple beast girls at the same time. Maybe this groom’s one of those freaks."

"I don’t buy it, never heard of such a thing."

"Me neither, let’s see what the groom does when it’s time to form the contract!"

Time passed slowly, and both families’ guests trickled in, almost two hundred people in total. They were all relatives and friends. On Ziran’s side, there were also some members of the Venerable Alliance, basically the Supremes Ziran had personally fostered coming just to fill out numbers.

After registration, everyone entered the wedding’s pocket world.

In a bright, pink peach blossom forest, there stood a massive platform. Rows of long benches were lined up in neat order atop it, running down the middle was a flower-strewn red carpet that stretched from the peach blossom woods all the way to the high stage in the center.

Two hundred-some guests from both families all took their seats at once, and soon, every bench was packed to capacity.

Yun Bing and Qin Platform arrived too, sitting in chairs at the back of the stage.

Cheng Bingxi, Nangong Siyao, Liu Ya, and Mu Qingxue sat in the first row of chairs just below the stage.

Festive music began to play, and the host, dressed in a suit, stepped onto the high platform, smiling as he said,

"Let’s welcome the bride and groom in!"

After his voice fell, half a minute passed with nobody walking out from the end of the red carpet.

The host spoke up again, "Let’s welcome the bride and groom in."

Still, no sign of the bride and groom on the carpet.

Qin Platform frowned, *Where are they? Where did they go?*

Yun Bing sent a private voice transmission, *"I’ll go check it out."*

She used spatial teleportation and arrived at the pocket world’s portal, returning through it back to the main hall of the Shanghai Base City’s wedding hotel.

Right then, inside the hall, Ziran and Qin Xi’Er were both wearing red vintage wedding dresses, phoenix crowns on their heads, their jade feet in little boots, long trains trailing out behind them.

One looked like a pure but stunningly beautiful queen, the other like a gentle, quiet, delicate girl.

Behind them, Yunxi was holding Ziran’s train, while the white-haired maiden, Huangfu Xiangling, held up Qin Xi’Er’s, making sure they didn’t drag or get dirty or stepped on.

But, for some reason, the two of them looked pretty vexed and aggrieved.

"Ughh, Yun Bing, you won’t even hold up your own train and made me do it, and I’ve got to do it for the whole wedding, watching them form a contract with my own eyes? It’s killing me!"

*That thoughtless demand was enough to make even the Iceberg Dean, Yunxi, feel real pissed off and frustrated.*

Yun Bing even had the nerve to say it was so she could ’really experience the joy of the wedding.’*

To her left was the white-haired maiden Huangfu Xiangling, also holding up a long train with both hands. Outwardly she looked calm, but her gaze was sharp as a blade, showing the chaos and rage she felt inside. *If looks could kill, Qin Xi’Er would already be in pieces.*

"Dammit, for real, how could you make me carry that idiot Xi’Er’s train? This is pissing me off!"

"And my master, really? Forcing me to do this, not even letting me say no. Hmph!"

*He knows I like Xiao Ye, and yet he wants me to hold up her dress right while he’s forming a contract with another woman? Does he have any idea how much that hurts me?*

Yunxi and Huangfu Xiangling exchanged a glance, and seeing the same frustration and simmering rage on each other’s faces, they both looked kinda stunned.

*The more they stared, the more they felt like two people down on their luck in the same boat, starting to actually sympathize with each other.*

"Xiangling, hold the train up a bit higher, it’s dragging on the ground," Qin Xi’Er suddenly said, "You’re my bridesmaid today, you know that, right?"

Huangfu Xiangling glared and snapped, "Yeah, yeah, got it!"

Yun Bing walked over and asked, "Everyone’s waiting on you, what are you doing?"

Ziran smiled and said, "I still have something I need to take care of."

Suddenly, Xiao Ye—who had been peeking in at the door—spoke up, his voice magnetic and with a hint of solemnity, "Ziran, your clansmen are here!"

Ziran’s sweet, pretty face went blank, *her heart skipped a beat with nerves.* She walked up and grabbed Xiao Ye’s hand, saying, "Let’s go out together."

Xiao Ye frowned, "I don’t know about this. I’m not even a Zi Family member, and plus, I’m the groom. What if they see me and change their minds? What if that messes up the outcome of the prophecy?"

Ziran rolled her eyes at him and said, "Didn’t you say foreknowledge shows a fixed future, that destiny can’t be changed? Also, from now on, you’re my husband, so you’re pretty much halfway to being a Zi Family member—Zi Family’s son-in-law."

Xiao Ye shrugged, "All right, fine, let’s go meet them together."

The two of them held hands and walked toward the door.

Behind Ziran, Yunxi rolled her eyes, hoisting the long train of the wedding gown as she followed them out.

Outside the door, four men in old-fashioned robes waited silently by the roadside.

When Ziran stepped through the hall’s doors, the four looked her over, all revealing stunned expressions.

"She looks a lot like the Clan Leader—same two eyes, one nose, one mouth. This has got to be the Young Clan Leader!"

"But, the wedding dress? She’s getting married?"

"Is that the groom?"

"This..."

"The Emperor Race just canceled the engagement, and now the Young Clan Leader’s getting married already?"

Ziran held Xiao Ye’s hand, her heart a bundle of nerves as she walked over and said with a faint smile, "I’m not going back with you. When you return, let my parents know I want to stay in the mortal realm, and I’m not going home."

"Greetings, Young Clan Leader!" +2.

"Respect to the Young Clan Leader!" +2.

All four men in old-fashioned robes placed their hands on the badges on their chests marked ’Zi’ and bowed in respect.

Then the man in the middle smiled and said, "Young Clan Leader, we’ll pass on your message."

"This time, we’re not here to take you back, but to inform you of some news."

Ziran was taken aback, "You’re not here to bring me home?"

The old-robed man nodded, smiling as he replied, "That’s right, Young Clan Leader."

"The news is this: the Shangguan Imperial Race recently unilaterally broke off the engagement with the Zi Family. In response, our Clan Leader also broke off the engagement with the Shangguan Imperial Race and announced that from now on, the Zi Family’s Holy Race and the Shangguan Imperial Race will not intermarry again."

"So as of now, you and the Young Master of the Shangguan Imperial Race are no longer engaged."

When she heard this, Ziran was overjoyed, her sweet, stunning face flushed with happiness as she practically danced for joy.

Xiao Ye had an epiphany. *So that’s why Ziran was so happy in the prophecy he saw yesterday—her marriage tie with the Shangguan Imperial Race had been revoked!*

Good news, this was seriously great news!
