Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 218 - 162: The Make-up Wedding
Sang Luo loved to tease him when he got that look—pure and restrained, yet full of desire. But she didn’t dare take it too far, so she composed herself and said seriously, "When do you want to hold the wedding ceremony?"
"There’s an auspicious day in eleven days, perfect for a wedding." Si Ye had specifically checked the calendar.
Sang Luo asked him, "Are you planning to hold it in the Bian Ancestral Land or at the Marquis Mansion? I should get ready."
"Where do you want it to be?" Si Ye looked into her eyes.
"I’m not picky. Either is fine. It’s up to you~"
Si Ye thought for a moment. "The Bian Ancestral Land is far away. The Imperial City Marquis Mansion would be more convenient..."
Sang Luo could see that he still preferred his ancestral home. She smiled sweetly. "Let’s go back to the Ancestral Land. It’s where you were born and raised. We can have all the Bian Clan members of the Western Region as our witnesses!"
The once-split northern and southern branches of the Bian in the Western Region had recently been brought back together.
Si Ye lowered his head and kissed her lips again, his heart filled with endless tenderness. "Alright. I’ll make the preparations. We’ll set off tomorrow."
The next morning, when Sang Luo awoke, she found that Si Ye had already prepared everything. He transformed into his phoenix form and, crossing countless mountains and rivers, carried her and their daughter back to the Bian Clan Land.
When Si Jing learned they were returning to hold a wedding ceremony, she was overjoyed. She set aside all other clan affairs to personally oversee the wedding preparations.
The more ancient the King Beast Species, the more importance they placed on the grand occasion of a union. Prestigious clans, in particular, insisted on proper rites and ceremonies, with every procedure needing to be handled in advance according to tradition, without the slightest error.
A period of about ten days was indeed a bit rushed.
After returning to the Ancestral Land, Si Ye, Si Jing, and the other Clan Leaders selected a new auspicious date.
The beginning of next month.
The entire clan of Beastmen mobilized, busily preparing for the wedding.
Sang Luo, on the other hand, didn’t need to worry about much. She just had to make sure she was present on the wedding day.
Si Ye spent his days gazing at Sang Luo with longing, a craving in his eyes that he couldn’t satisfy. He tossed and turned all night, wishing their wedding night would arrive sooner.
Time flew by in a flash.
「On the day of the wedding.」
A magnificent red procession stretched for miles, the city was filled with blooming flowers, gongs and drums thundered, and firecrackers crackled in celebration.
Countless large red silk ribbons were tied to every tree in the city.
The city had just celebrated the joyous birth of a supreme young heir, and now it was time for the wedding of the King Beast species’ Young Master. He was marrying the young heir’s own mother. The banquet was held with extraordinary grandeur, rivaling the pageantry of a new Clan Leader or Beast King taking a spouse.
The Beastman citizens spontaneously lined the main roads, scattering fresh flowers. The signs of major shops were draped with large red silk flowers and ribbons, and they competed with sales promotions, celebrating alongside their lord and fellow citizens.
The entire city was filled with celebration.
As for Sang Luo, she too had a sleepless night. Early in the morning, Servants helped her dress in her wedding gown, apply red makeup, and don a red veil before helping her out to the bridal sedan.
Her vision was obscured by the veil, but that didn’t stop her from seeing with her spiritual power.
Eight Golden Luan Sky-Birds, their feathers like flowing fire, pulled the bridal sedan in a circle above Liao Domain North City.
The crowds poured out, shoulder to shoulder. City guards were dispatched to maintain order.
The Golden Luan Sky-Birds pulled the sedan down to land at the Beast King Palace.
"Luoluo!"
Si Ye strode forward to greet her, unable to hide the joy in his eyes.
He was dressed in a bright red wedding robe. His long, flaxen hair was tied up high with a gilded crown inlaid with Red Jade. He was tall and athletic, with a dashing and handsome air. Compared to the wild and untamed arrogance of his usual red-haired self, he now seemed more high-spirited, like a young general returning victorious from the battlefield to marry his bride, exuding an innate nobility and pride.
Sang Luo lifted the sedan curtain with a fair hand.
Si Ye reached in, swept her into his arms, and carried her out of the sedan. He then took her hand tightly, and they slowly walked into the main hall.
Two people were seated on the main seats at the head of the hall, having waited for some time.
One of them was Si Jing, who needed no introduction.
The other... was someone Sang Luo found a bit unexpected. ’Fei Yuan? He came too?’ 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Although Zhu Su was by Si Jing’s side, he was neither Si Ye’s biological Beast Father nor Si Jing’s Main Husband. He was merely a Concubine from another clan. On a grand occasion like a wedding banquet, he could not sit on equal footing with Si Jing as one of the parents.
The Beast Clan had a saying: an elder uncle is like a father. With Si Ye’s biological Beast Father deceased, Fei Yuan, if he had no partner, could preside over the ceremony for the newlyweds in place of his younger sibling.
But he hadn’t come to the last wedding banquet. She had heard that Si Jing had even sent a special invitation, but he had declined, citing his busy schedule.
’Why did he make a special trip from the Central region this time?’
Fei Yuan was drinking tea when he suddenly lifted his long-lashed eyes to look at the entrance. His gaze lingered on Sang Luo, and he froze for a moment.
She was dressed in an embroidered red robe and covered by a large red veil. Although her face was hidden, her figure was graceful and alluring. A single glance was enough to make it difficult to look away.
Fei Yuan gently stroked the teacup with the pad of his pale, jade-like finger, unable to help but think, ’This little female is already a nation-toppling beauty on a normal day. I wonder what an unparalleled sight she must be under that embroidered red veil, all dressed up in her finery?’
...’I really want to see...’
’Next time, I won’t just be sitting on the dais. I’ll be the one standing beside her.’
After all the various ceremonies were completed, the sky gradually darkened, and the banquet guests began to depart.
「On the wedding night.」
Si Ye couldn’t wait any longer, but he still properly used a Jade Ruyi scepter to lift her veil. Gazing at Sang Luo’s delicate, enchanting, and fair face, his eyes became entranced.
"Luoluo, I’ve finally waited for this day... to announce our relationship to the world, for everyone to know..."
Sang Luo smelled the intoxicating scent of alcohol on him.
She took the initiative, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing his lips.
Si Ye pulled her in by the waist, and the two of them tumbled onto the red-curtained bed.
The room was filled with the passion of spring, a night of enchanting romance.
...
The next morning, a Servant called out from outside the door, "Is the Young Master’s wife awake? The Clan Leader invites you both for a meal."
There was no sound from within the hall.
The Servant called out twice more, but there was still no response. Presumably, they were not yet awake.
The Servant went back to inform Si Jing.
Inside the hall, Si Jing, Zhu Su, and Fei Yuan were having breakfast.
The Servant returned and reported the situation truthfully.
Fei Yuan slammed his chopsticks down on his bowl with a CLACK! and stood up. "The sun is already high in the sky, and the newlyweds don’t even know to wake up early to serve tea? How utterly improper! I will go and ’invite’ them here myself!"
His posture didn’t look like he was going to invite them, but rather to catch adulterers.
Zhu Su cleared his throat, his fair, jade-like face blushing slightly. "The Young Master and his wife were likely exhausted from last night and are sleeping soundly. We should let them rest. These formalities aren’t that important."
Fei Yuan’s expression immediately darkened further.
Si Jing caught Zhu Su’s look and laughed even more heartily. "Haha, it’s no problem, no problem at all! The wedding banquet is over anyway. I’ve never cared for those useless, elaborate formalities. Those two have only just made up; they’ll certainly want to be clingy for a few days. Let’s not bother them for a while!"
’Maybe soon,’ she thought, ’I’ll be holding another big, chubby granddaughter.’
...
Meanwhile, inside the bedchamber, as soon as the Servant had left, Si Ye started moving again. He even set up a silencing barrier so no one outside could hear the blood-pumping sounds from within the room.
Sang Luo bit her lip, her face flushed and radiant. It was a mix of pain and pleasure, a sweet suffering she couldn’t complain about.
’I didn’t even drug him this time,’ she thought. ’He’s gone all night without a hint of fatigue... He must have been holding back for way too long. Once he gets a taste, he’s just too greedy!’
「Three days and three nights later.」
For the first time since their wedding banquet, the two of them finally emerged from the palace doors.
