Chapter 113: The Wedding 2

...

The bitter cold had receded somewhat, allowing some spring to come through. The Demon Terrace looked no different from usual tonight, and Ji Yunhe flew straight to the main hall. The main hall, on the other hand, looked very different now with festive wedding decorations.

A red carpet was laid out in the middle of the hall and red candles on tall lamps stood along both sides.

She had asked Luo Jinsang to help with the decorations here, and she did not disappoint. It could not have been easy to find so many lamps and candles at a time like this.

Because Ji Yunhe was stopped earlier to freshen up, all the guests were already here when she came. Luo Jinsang, Qu Xiaoxing, Lin Haoqing, Snow March, the snake demon and Lu Jinyan. Old friends and new friends waited together while Changyi stood among them in the same black robe he usually wore. Ji Yunhe saw him right away. His silver hair was too eye catching.

Changyi looked at Ji Yunhe with blue eyes full of tenderness. He had also been looking forward to this moment.

But not yet... Ji Yunhe landed in front of Changyi, pulled him to the side hall, and handed him a wedding robe.

"Change first."

Their wedding outfits were really simple. Ji Yunhe did not have time to make the inner pieces, so they only had to change their outer robes. After she finished, she saw Changyi holding up his robe and staring at the fish tail in the corner.

"You embroidered this?"

Ji Yunhe smiled and felt a bit embarrassed. She tried to pull the robe loose from his hand.

"It's not pretty, but I wanted it..."

"It looks good," Changyi said.

"Very similar to my tail."

His words made her feel a momentary sadness. She held Changyi's hand and said, "If you like it, I'll sew you another one later." Changyi nodded.

"Okay."

They came out holding hands and walked down the red carpet together. This was their only ritual. Luo Jinsang suggested earlier to set up a customary fire bowl for them to cross over, but Ji Yunhe did not agree. She and Changyi had experienced too many ups and downs, and just wanted their walk down the aisle to be as smooth as possible.

And as expected, this red carpet walk was very calm. Even the wind did not come to stir their hair. They held each other's hands and walked step by step.

When they reached the end of the red carpet, Qu Xiaoxing acted as the emcee and began to read the congratulatory speech. The sky behind the main hall suddenly lit up like fireflies on a summer night. Dots of light rose slowly from every corner of the city and dappled across the entire sky, looking beautiful and awe-inspiring.

They were lanterns, floating and swaying as they drifted up into the stars like a painting. Watching the scene and listening to Qu Xiaoxing's unintelligible speech that he found from god knows where, Ji Yunhe's heart soared.

"What is that?"

After Qu Xiaoxing's speech, Changyi asked while still looking at the rising lanterns.

"Blessings," Ji Yunhe said.

"The news of our wedding leaked out, and the people of the north are giving us their blessings."

Changyi was silent for a moment and suddenly said, "This human world owes me nothing."

Ji Yunhe did not understand why he said this. But recalling all the torment and pain humans had inflicted on him, he was now saying...

This human world did not owe him. Ji Yunhe was also silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Changyi, you are too kind."
