462 Marriage
The day of the wedding was the only thing that was talked about in Taixia Country. Numerous people talked about the Bright Phoenix and the Human Emperor Lin Xua. Both commoners and ability users knew about them.
Their wedding involved the hearts and minds of countless people.
After the wedding venue in Dongning was set up, Lin Xuan arrived at the Western Capital a day earlier, at the foot of Mount Tai. He couldn’t go up the mountain at this time. He had to wait until midnight before going back up.
It was different from the previous two times they had climbed Mount Tai at night. This time, countless people from the Western Capital had come because of the fame. If one had to ask which side’s heart was most touched by this marriage, it had to be the Western Capital. The Bright Phoenix had been in the Western Capital for 300 years. In these 300 years, even the Imperial City had been attacked by terrifying beast tides, but the Western Capital had not been attacked even once!
The Bright Phoenix was publicly acknowledged as the protector of the Western Capital. Now that their protector was about to get married to love, they could only wish her well!
Therefore, Lin Xuan stood at the foot of Mount Tai and looked up. On every step of the mountain, there was a man from the Western Capital holding a torch. They were in an orderly fashion and stood quietly, illuminating the path for Lin Xuan who was about to ascend the mountain.
It finally turned midnight. Lin Xuan’s expression changed, and he took a firm step toward the mountain road.
The middle-aged man on the first step smiled at Lin Xuan with understanding. He raised the torch in his hand a little higher, and the road behind him and the trees on both sides became more clear.
“Thank you!”
Step by step, Lin Xuan did not use any strength, nor did he deliberately rush up the mountain. He walked slowly towards the peak of Mount Tai at a uniform speed. Every time he passed by a person holding a torch, he would say thank you and nod slightly.
When they were about halfway up the mountain, Lin Xuan suddenly stopped and turned back to look at the long line of lights behind him. At that moment, he seemed to have felt something.
He had a feeling that after the national wedding ceremony, he would encounter a considerable change. At that time, he would be able to break through to the invincible earth-rank!
That was quick!
He continued to climb up the mountain. Lin Xuan had a strong physique, so he wasn’t tired of climbing the mountain. However, he had to control his climbing speed and the time he reached the peak. He had to reach the peak the moment the sun leaped out of the horizon, and the Bright Phoenix would appear at that time.
It was five thirty in the morning.
Lin Xuan finally stepped onto the last step of the mountain. He turned to look in the direction of the rising sun, and a red glow slowly rose.
He slowly walked towards the huge rock and looked at the sun. A flame suddenly appeared, and a person wearing a fiery red wedding dress slowly walked out from the flame. Lin Xuan’s body was also on fire at this moment, and the flames spread all over his body. He, who was originally dressed in sports attire, had changed into a matching red formal suit.
At this moment, the sun had completely risen, shining on to the world.
The first step of the national wedding ceremony was completed!
“I want to have one last meal in the Western Capital. In the future, I…”
The Bright Phoenix looked at him gently and said in a soft voice.
“Sure, but will you not be coming here to eat in the future?”
Lin Xuan asked with a smile.
“Of course not. It’s just that my identity will be different by then, so the feeling will be different!”
Zhu Mingmei shook her head. She looked a little confused. In fact, she could not help but feel a little nervous and afraid. This had nothing to do with her strength. It was just a common pre-wedding jitter!
“Alright, I’ll go with you!”
Lin Xuan nodded. Zhu Mingmei’s emotions were clearly off, so he naturally had to go along with her wishes.
With their strength, it was a piece of cake for them to change their appearances. Of course, this was not because they had great powers. It was more than enough to fool ordinary people below the mystic-rank, but against an earth-rank master, it could be seen through with a glance.
The two of them did not go far. They ordered some breakfast at the square at the foot of Mount Tai.
Mount Tai was a scenic landmark of the Western Capital and was also the training ground of the Bright Phoenix. Naturally, the people who had breakfast in the square at the foot of Mount Tai were those oldies that liked to bum around. They all had their own specialty. Lin Xuan did not know much about this, but Zhu Mingmei was very familiar with everything here.
“Sir, I’d like four of your mutton buns. I want them fresh out of the oven!
“Two big bowls of goat porridge!
“One serving of mutton soup.
“This…”
Zhu Mingmei dragged Lin Xuan around all the food stalls and ordered a portion of every specialty snack. Then, she sat at the side and waited eagerly.
“By the way, this should be our first time eating together, right?”
Lin Xuan said suddenly when he saw how eager Zhu Mingmei was.
She glanced at Lin Xuan and picked up a bun with her chopsticks. She took small bites and ate very elegantly, but she was also very fast. In just a few bites, the bun was finished.
Lin Xuan saw that she was eating happily and shook his head with a smile. He picked up a large bun and ate it in one go. After chewing a few times, he swallowed it with a gulp and was done!
Zhu Mingmei was speechless.
Was this how a Human Emperor should eat?
She suddenly fell silent. In addition to strength, one must also have the corresponding ability to rule the country and etiquette as a Human Emperor!
At present, the wilderness world dungeon was still in the stage of urbanization. However, with Lin Xuan’s strength and the support of Taixia Country, he would probably enter the stage of guarding the world very soon. He had even entered the buffer stage of guarding the world.
In addition to rules and regulations, there was also a need to establish etiquette. This was a moral education!
A country could not only rely on laws to restrain its citizens. It should also establish a good civilized and courteous society, where the elderly should be respected and the young should be loved, and people should be treated with respect. Only in this way could this society, this country, be full of vitality!
The laws only set a lower limit, but etiquette and morality determined the upper limit of a country!
Lin Xuan did not know that Zhu Mingmei was looking at him from a different angle just because he had eaten a bun in one bite. How odd that her thoughts had strayed into the topic of etiquette with that one action.
Of course, Zhang tie was not in a hurry to tell him off for the time being. No matter what, he would be assisted by scholars in Taixia Country. He only needed to improve his overall strength by providing sufficient military force!
The two’s watches beeped. They didn’t need to look to know that someone was urging them to come back. The two looked at each other and smiled. They quickly finished their breakfast and left.
