Ch. 40 - Marriage

Inside the white space, things were a bit different as there were several decorations and a huge church out of nowhere, making it stand out.

Inside the church, both Jin and Tigress suddenly appeared in a flash of white light.

There was no one in the church except for them and God, who was standing in the middle front of the church, wearing a priest's outfit.

As they opened their eyes, Tigress was confused about the place while Jin felt like it was a bit familiar.

"Isn't this a church?" Jin muttered out loud.

"Yes, yes it is." God answered with a smile as Jin and Tigress's attention turned to him.

"God..." Tigress bowed her head in respect, before coming here, Jin told her about who God is and knowing that he's the creator of everything, Tigress's respect for him went very high.

"Uhm, isn't this a bit too early? Shouldn't we like...you know rest first?" Jin indeed felt it was a bit early, he's expecting God to be sitting in his usual chair welcoming him and asking him when he wants to start the marriage.

"Nope. It isn't that fast and besides, the readers can't wait for you to go to the next world." God muttered as he looked at you.

"What?" Jin felt like God mumbled the last few words, so he didn't hear it completely.

"Nothing." God smiled and said before snapping his fingers, turning their outfits into bride and groom.

"Woah." Tigress muttered in surprise as she stared at her white gown and couldn't help but grow to like it.

Meanwhile, Jin just nervously inhaled and exhaled, everything was so fast and he's going to get married without his parents knowing.

'Hopefully they won't mind it.' Jin muttered inside his head as God stated his words.

"Dear brothers and sisters, we have come together in my presence to witness and bless the joining together of this man and this woman in holy matrimony. The covenant of marriage was established by none other than me, and my son Jesus Christ adorned this manner of life by his presence."

"In this sacred ceremony, Jin and Tigress come to be united in the love they share. They now ask for your blessing, that they may be strengthened for their life together."

"Dear Jin and Tigress, have you come here freely and without reservation to give yourselves to each other in marriage? Just respond 'I have.'" God said while whispering the last sentence to Tigress as she doesn't know what to do.

Tigress nodded her head and spoke in unison with Jin.

"I have."

"Will you love and honor each other as husband and wife for the rest of your lives?" God continued.

"I will." Both Tigress and Jin said.

"Good, then you may now both have your kiss." God said in a holy manner before walking off.

After seeing God walk away, Jin and Tigress didn't hesitate before kissing each other, they've long played with their bodies and kissed each other, so there's no need to become shy in kissing after marriage.

***

"So, are you both ready for another world?" God asked them after they wore their previous outfits.

"Yes." Jin answered while Tigress nodded beside him.

"Before we proceed, I would like to give my gift for your marriage. Since in the next world it would be weird for Tigress to walk among humans, I would give her the gift." God said before waving his hand towards Tigress.

Meanwhile, Tigress's body slowly changed, her furs slowly retracted, showing her delicate tanned skin, her furs on her head turned into an orange short hair that fits Tigress's image. Her bust remained the same.

"Beautiful..." Jin muttered as his blood splurted out of his nose before quickly wiping them off.

"Alright that's all for my gift. It's time for you both to depart, brace yourselves." God said before snapping his fingers, actually he could just do it without snapping his fingers however, he just wanted to add an effect to make it cooler.

Intertwining their hands, both Jin and Tigress suddenly saw their surroundings changing from the white space earlier to black space with the stars twinkling upon them.

"It's beautiful." Tigress muttered as she looked around.

"Wanna know something more beautiful?" Jin asked, getting the attention of Tigress as she asked him.

"What is it?"

"The person beside me." Jin said with a smile.

Tigress playfully punches his chest, thankfully she's already immune to Jin's teasings, so she won't be a blushing mess every time he teases her.

Soon, both of them finally landed on the grassy grass, surrounded by lush trees and animals.

While Jin searched for a nearby civilization so he could know what world they were dropped off, Tigress quickly went on to find a source of water.

Thankfully, Tigress found a river just behind a tree and rushed over in all fours, which looked weird. Thankfully, Jin was keeping an eye on her so the moment he saw her search for the river, he swiftly followed her until they arrived.

"...I look....more like your kind." Tigress muttered as she touched her cheek and when she did, she noticed how small her hands became, so she also extended her to take a better look.

"It looks....small, but cute." Tigress tilted her head as she described the feeling she felt as she observed her new appearance.

"And I have no fur. I feel like I'm naked." Tigress said, a bit uncomfortable in her new appearance.

"No worries, in time you'll adapt to your new body. How about we have a go and see if you could fight efficiently despite having a new body." Jin said as he assumed a stance, challenging her to a battle.

Smirking, Tigress didn't bother assuming a stance and quickly attacked Jin.

However, before she could even take 5 steps, she suddenly tripped on a stuck pebble and fell on the ground with her face facing the front.

*Thud!*

Looking at the fallen Tigress, Jin almost released a laugh but thankfully, he concealed it or else Tigress would definitely beat him up no matter where and when.

"Here, let me help you." Jin said before approaching her and helping her stand back in her two feet.

For the next few hours, Jin proceeded to help her get used to her body. Thankfully, it didn't take long. During the process, Jin felt like he was teaching a baby on his way to walk.

Tigress kept on stabbing her toes on some small stuck pebbles or on a tree root.

According to her, she was used to having a large paw as her feet, so she rarely cares on the path that she's walking on.

"Can you walk properly now?" Jin asked and saw Tigress nod her head, so he let go of her elbow.

After a few tries, she didn't trip herself anymore.

"Let's spare the sparring in the future until you completely get used to this new body." Jin said as Tigress couldn't agree more. She felt huge embarrassment earlier for tripping in front of Jin and she vowed to never repeat it again.

"Let's go and search for some people." Jin said before walking around without any sense of direction, followed by Tigress.

After a few times of resting, Jin and Tigress found a tall tower that looked completely abandoned, after entering a covered entrance of a cave that leads them here. The tower was very tall and behind it was a waterfall.

"Wanna go and take a look?" Jin asked Tigress, making her nod her head as she was also curious on the lone tower in the middle of the forest.

Approaching the tower, Jin and Tigress tried to look for the entrance however, they found nothing except for an open window on top of the tower.

"Wanna climb?" Without a choice, Jin and Tigress could do nothing but climb.

"I can't climb yet." Tigress said with a hint of embarrassment.

"No problem, just ride on my back." Jin said before slightly crouching so Tigress could climb on his back.

"Make sure you hug my neck and don't let go. Also, put your legs over my waist." After giving instructions to Tigress, she did as he told and she's finally clinging on his back.

"Alright, let's go." Jin said before gripping on a rock attached to the tower and used this so he could lift himself and step on one of the extended bricks.

Looking up, Jin saw that it would take a while to climb at this pace, so he decided to hasten a bit.

*Swish!*

Bending his knees, Jin jumped and used his quick reflexes to grab one of the bricks and step on another, quickly crossing at least a while 5 feet tall in that single jump.

Jin then continued jumping and gripping on bricks before eventually arriving at the open window.

During the process, Tigress stayed true to his words and hugged his neck as if her life depended on it. Thankfully, she doesn't weigh that much so it was no hassle on her riding his back.

Taking a peek inside, Jin saw that it was decorated as a room, as if someone was living here.

'Why does this look familiar?' Jin wondered to himself before deciding to enter so he could get the answers to his question.

Sneakily entering, the moment Jin stepped on the floor, Tigress also released her hug on Jin and landed on the floor.

"Hello?" Calling out, Jin yelled but no one responded.

'Either the tower just got recently abandoned or the owner is hiding somewhere.' Jin said to himself.

*Sniff!*

Sniffing in the air, Tigress was glad she still has her senses, so when she sniffed in the air, she could already tell that someone was hiding behind the curtain!

Tapping on Jin's shoulder and when she got his attention, she then pointed her finger towards the curtain.

Soon, whoever is behind that curtain, will be revealed!
