Chapter 410 - A lightless night, the big battle with Lin Shi
“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”
The firecrackers were set off and the strong challengers from Jiangzhou university gathered together.
Almost all of the prominent figures had made their way down to witness Ye Xuan’s big day.
Ye Xuan was unable to welcome them.
He was not willing to do such things.
He usually only met those whom he really had to see.
Those that he was neither too familiar with nor were not too important to him, he had left it to Wang Tianshan to help out and handle.
Wang Tianshan was a Legend Level Beast Tamer of significant status. Hence, it was still appropriate to have him to greet and speak with the other guests.
Wang Tianshan was left without a choice.
He never thought that he would have to end up doing such a thing.
At the same time, because there were too many guests, Jiangzhou University’s chefs were all hands on deck.
By themselves, they had already slaughtered 3,000 Wind Speed Lamb Headed Camels.
It was not much too significant and prominent figures.
However, the students of Jiangzhou were lucky and got to feast.
They had all joined in the celebrations.
“Ye Xuan, Shiru, congratulations.”
An elder with a head full of white hair congratulated both Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru.
“Old Teng.”
Ye Xuan, who was donning a uniform, and a very elegant looking Lin Shiru, who was in her wedding gown immediately went up to welcome him.
This elder was Teng Qinglin.
Both of them were utterly surprised as they did not expect Teng Qinglin to personally pay them a visit.
Teng Qinglin did not say much but proceeded to smile and nod at both of them.
He had known about Ye Xuan much earlier. But this was his first time seeing him.
He knew that he had to personally make a trip down for Ye Xuan’s wedding. He wanted to see how this fast-rising star who intended to unify and lead Xia looked like.
He wanted to see if Ye Xuan could bear the heavy responsibility of being the leader of the Great Xia Alliance.
“Ye Xuan, Lin Shiru, congratulations.”
At this moment, another two people walked by. One of them was Xia Houji, who had a strange red birthmark on his eyebrow. The other person was his third wife, Ling Miaotong.
“Mr Xia.”
Ye Xuan and Xia Houji’s gaze coincided.
He could secretly feel Xia Houji give him a deep searching look.
However, he did not retreat.
Currently, he had some confidence with regards to what was to come for the competition.
He had the same confidence in battling against a Legend Level Beast Tamer.
Xia Houji only glanced at Ye Xuan briefly before looking away.
It was Ye Xuan’s wedding celebration and he had come to celebrate and enjoy himself.
His visit to understand how outstanding Ye Xuan was, was only the secondary motivation for his visit.
“What? Harp Melody Planet’s Qin Guxing came too?”
At this moment, Wang Tianshan received a call. He found it slightly puzzling but nonetheless, he replied, “Sure, show him the way here.”
After he had hung up the phone, he felt slightly puzzled.
He was unsure why those from Harp Melody Planet would also come to celebrate Ye Xuan’s wedding.
Although Harp Melody Planet and the Country of Xia were on good terms, they had not joined the Great Xia Alliance ever since it had been established.
Furthermore, given that Qin Wuhuang was remarkably powerful, he had managed to keep Harp Melody Planet strong and infallible. In general, few countries would attack Harp Melody Planet.
Of course, the situation was different when it came to Ancient God Planet.
Prior to the alliance, the Country of Xia was rather different from what it was now. Back then, there were many countries on Cerulean Planet and they had yet to unify under a single ruler.
It was difficult for the Country of Xia to singlehandedly unify and control the entire Cerulean Planet.
On the other hand, Harp Melody Planet had already achieved unification some time back.
Hence, almost no one would dare to invade Harp Melody Planet.
And it was difficult to conquer them.
This time, a man from Harp Melody Planet, called Qin Guxing dropped by.
He was one of the most renowned individuals from Harp Melody Planet.
He was Qin Wuhuang’s uncle.
His strength had also reached Challenger Level. However, he did not manage to advance to Legend Level earlier and hence he was unable to confidently say that he would definitely be able to meet Qin Guxing.
“What happened, Wang Tianshan. Why are people from Harp Melody Planet here?”
A beast tamer standing beside Wang Tianshan asked.
“Right.”
Wang Tianshan nodded his head.
However, he remained quiet without saying anything…
Even he was clueless about why people from Harp Melody Planet would pay them a visit.
At the same time, Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru were welcoming more guests.
Almost everyone from the Fang Family had come.
Fang Lan stood at a corner and observed Ye Xuan. It was difficult to decipher what he was saying.
He was still growing up and yet Ye Xuan was already about to get married.
“Come everyone, eat and drink to your heart’s content. Don’t hold back, there are sufficient alpacas for everyone!”
“Only you like the taste of this! Looks like the alpacas within our school compound are all goners and will eventually be slaughtered for consumption because of you!”
Finally, Ye Xuan dragged Lin Shiru to meet Qi Liangcai and his other friends from Jiangzhou University and they spent the time joking and catching up with each other.
Lin Shiru stood comfortably beside Ye Xuan, and she was all smiles. She allowed the men to chat with each other endlessly.
“Greetings Ye Xuan the prodigy. I am Harp Melody Planet’s Guxing. Based on the instructions from my clan master and on our behalf, I’ve come to wish the both of you congratulations on your marriage.”
Not long after Ye Xuan had left Qin Liangcai and his group of university friends, a man with an ancient piano mark imprinted on his eyebrow walked over to greet him.
“Also, my clan hopes that after this wedding, you would be able to take some time out to discuss Harp Melody Planet’s union with your alliance.”
“Harp Melody Planet joining our alliance? This is wonderful news.”
Ye Xuan nodded his head. He did not expect that Harp Melody Planet would respond so quickly.
However, this situation did not come as a huge surprise to him either.
He did not pay further attention to this matter.
Today was his big day and there was a big battle to be fought tonight. He did not wish to worry too much about other things.
He should save and recharge his energy.
“Harp Melody Planet wants to join the Great Xia Alliance?”
Upon hearing Qin Guxing’s words, those who were present were all dazed and extremely surprised.
Who knew that such big news would follow Ye Xuan’s already surprising announcement about his wedding.
Harp Melody Planet was not a small and weak planet.
Prior to being part of the alliance, even the country of Xia only had double the strength of Harp Melody Planet.
Hence, Harp Melody Planet initiating an alliance with the Great Xia Alliance was of great significance.
Another thing was that…
Harp Melody Planet had neither came earlier nor later but precisely timed themselves to arrive during Ye Xuan’s wedding. Moreover, they went to speak to Ye Xuan directly, making their intentions even more obvious.
It was obvious to others that they were keen on an alliance with the Great Xia Alliance due to their ties with Ye Xuan.
As they thought about this, many of them turned and looked at Ye Xuan.
They knew that Ye Xuan had made ample preparations to fight the battle to become the next leader of the Great Xia Alliance.
And…
As of now, he was considered the largest underdog.
Based on performance and his track record…
Even Teng Qinglin and Xia Houji could barely compare to Ye Xuan.
However, Ye Xuan could not be bothered with these.
After welcoming a few more guests, he pulled Lin Shiru to have a toast with him.
The wedding rituals had been simplified greatly.
It was reduced to prayers to the various deities.
It was nothing too complicated.
Of course, the whole place was decorated to look majestic.
Besides singing and dancing, there were also several beast performances and they were all extremely entertaining.
However, all extravagances and fun died down in the end.
Many people had begun to leave in the afternoon.
By late afternoon, almost everyone had left.
Only Lin Shiru and Ye Xuan remained in the new place at night.
Ye Xuan stood and admired Lin Shiru’s petite frame and his heart started to become warm with excitement.
“Lil linlin?”
He walked forward and his eyes made contact with Lin Shiru.
“Yes.”
Lin Shiru seemed to have realised something and her face reddened as she nodded her head.
Ye Xuan suddenly lost control of himself and gently hugged the woman with whom he had decided to spend the rest of his life with. They spun round and round countless times before making their way upstairs.
Lin Shiru kept silent during the whole process and buried her head in his arms.
After heading upstairs, Ye Xuan lost all control of himself and begun ‘fighting’ with Lin Shiru.
Tonight, he was going to show her how powerful he was.
Instantly, he began to demonstrate his self-taught secret technique as he uncovered Lin Shiru’s defences inch by inch. Finally, she tilted her head sideways, not daring to look directly at him as he lay hold of her and advanced forward.
Lin Shiru’s face increasingly reddened throughout the entire duration and spread out her body, as though she was unable to match up to the enemy during this battle.
Ye Xuan was extremely conscious of time.
He knew that the night was short and constantly kept at advancing and ‘attacking’, enjoying the full experience of fighting with others…
In the midst of the battle, he had also learnt a new technique.
Carrying his spear, he attacked gently first. And then he made another gentle attack… After a string of 9 attacks, he suddenly delivered a hard and strong blow.
This last attack contained all of the life lessons that he had garnered from his experiences and was filled with great strength.
Lin Shiru’s small and petite frame could barely take it. She let out a slight shriek.
