Miss Loser is too enchanting
Chapter 560 Marrying you as my wife (2)_1

"Were you being all secretive before because you were preparing a wedding?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"Yes. Let’s go, Qie Yue and the others know you have returned, they are waiting for us," Zi Xiao said as he took her hand.

Dugu Qianye felt that she should shake off his hand and leave, or maybe slap him before departing, to exit with style and decisiveness. But now, she seemed bewitched, allowing him to lead her along. As they approached his palace, she could clearly see the fiery red silk hanging from it.

Just as they arrived above the palace, Hei Zi rushed up and grabbed Zi Xiao, saying, "Groom, you’re finally back. Hurry, hurry, we’re almost out of time." Seeing Dugu Qianye, he offered an apologetic smile and said, "Qianye, you’re back, just in time for Xiao’s wedding. We’re too pressed for time to greet you properly!"

Hei Zi pulled Zi Xiao away, leaving Dugu Qianye standing alone in mid-air.

At that moment, Nian Hua came up to Dugu Qianye, saw her somewhat saddened expression, and said, "Qianye, why don’t you go to my place for now. Qie Yue and the others are very busy."

Seeing Nian Hua, Dugu Qianye still felt happy and followed her home. Everything had happened so suddenly, she needed to properly digest what was going on.

The two of them had been just fine in the cave, so how had everything changed so drastically upon their return?

Nian Hua led Dugu Qianye to a house, and though somewhat distracted, Dugu Qianye noticed that it wasn’t Nian Hua’s house.

"Nian Hua, did you move?" Dugu Qianye asked, looking at the unfamiliar house.

"I..." Nian Hua hadn’t finished speaking when Nian Zhixin walked out of the yard and saw Dugu Qianye, hurrying over and saying, "Little aunt, why have you only just returned? We’re running out of time!"

"Huh?" Dugu Qianye, looking at Nian Zhixin, asked, "What’s running out of time?"

"Time! The bridal procession will be here any minute now! We need to hurry!" Nian Zhixin said as she pulled Dugu Qianye into the house. Before Dugu Qianye could react, Nian Zhixin seated her at the dressing table, pulled out a set of bright red clothes, and urged her to change quickly.

Dugu Qianye, looking at the clothes in her hands, finally understood and stopped the excited Nian Zhixin, asking, "Is this my wedding?"

"Yes!" Nian Zhixin answered.

"Mine and Xiao’s?"

"Yes! Oh dear, little aunt, stop dawdling, we’re running out of time, please don’t waste it!" Nian Zhixin said urgently.

"How can this be my wedding? My parents aren’t here; how could I possibly get married?" Dugu Qianye said.

"Who says they’re not?" Nian Zhixin said.

As her voice fell, the previously quiet courtyard suddenly bustled with activity. Where there had been no one before, now people were coming and going, and a group made their way directly to her room.

"My granddaughter is getting married, how could I, her grandmother, not come?" Feng Sanmei’s voice came from outside, startling Dugu Qianye, who immediately looked toward the door.

"Grandmother!" Dugu Qianye saw the spry figure who entered first and excitedly greeted her.

Feng Sanmei entered, followed by a group of women. Right behind her was Dugu Qianye’s mother, whose eyes instantly reddened at the sight of Dugu Qianye.

"Mother!" Dugu Qianye, looking at Mo Qiushui and the others, couldn’t hide her excitement. Just as she was about to catch up with them, Nian Zhixin pulled her aside and started stripping off her clothes, saying, "What time is it now? If you want to catch up, wait until after today!"

"Exactly, exactly. The groom will be here any minute, and we can’t have the bride not ready by the time he arrives at the door!" Ye Canglan was the one speaking.

Dugu Qianye didn’t expect Ye Canglan to come as well. Could it be that Dan Jingtian and the others had also arrived?

Feng Sanmei also said, "Right, right, we really need to hurry. Qiushui, quickly do Qianye’s makeup." Seeing Dugu Qianye standing still, she added, "Qianye, hurry up and change into your wedding dress. Don’t just stand there dazed."

Only then did Dugu Qianye believe that this wedding was truly for her. Nian Zhixin helped her into her wedding gown, and as she was seated in front of the makeup table with no time to spare, she looked aside at Mo Qiushui, who was tearing up, and asked, "Mother, Grandmother, how did you come to be here?"

"It was Zi Xiao who brought us up here. Seeing that you were close to successfully forming your body, he went to Yuling Continent to propose to us. That child has suffered enough over these past thousand years, and we know just how much. Once he proposed, we agreed," replied Feng Sanmei.

As Ye Canglan was arranging Dugu Qianye’s hair, she busily chatted, "We were personally sought out by the Venerable Lord. Ever since you left, everyone has been training even harder. Later, Lord Qie Yue gave us a lot of resources for cultivating, and our strengths have increased significantly. Since we teamed up during the four Empires competition, many of us have paired off. Hearing that our leader was getting married, everyone rushed over."

The makeup artist was skillful and quick, but it still took nearly two hours to finish preparing Dugu Qianye. Cloaked in her phoenix coronet and robes of rank, with a light bridal makeup applied, Dugu Qianye stunned everyone present when she rose.

"Wow, Auntie, you are stunning!" Nian Zhixin cried out, unable to hold back upon seeing Dugu Qianye’s appearance.

Feng Sanmei and Mo Qiushui looked at Dugu Qianye with satisfaction. Their little girl was finally getting married! They thought about how much Dugu Qianye had sacrificed for her family and kin, and how she had even used her body to support this world. Now that she had finally returned, her life from here on out was all her own!

Dugu Qianye, seeing the astonished expressions of everyone in the room, felt a little uncomfortable. After all, this was her first time getting dolled up; she had never bothered with these things before, and now it all felt a bit strange to her.

Nian Zhixin circled Dugu Qianye, inspected her look, and declared, "I’ll go out and see if the Lord has arrived." With that, she ran out, and soon her voice could be heard from outside the courtyard.

"The Lord has arrived, the Lord has arrived!"

Upon hearing that Zi Xiao had come, Dugu Qianye suddenly grew nervous. After her makeup was done, Feng Sanmei had gone out to join Dugu Qianye’s great-grandfather and the others.

Soon, Zi Xiao’s procession reached the front gate. Perhaps out of pity for his suffering over the past thousand years, no one made things difficult for him, and he was let inside directly. Otherwise, he might also have had to stage a bridal rescue like Dugu Qianye’s father had.
