Chapter 1590
Tianxing, being a senior sister from the Ancient Academy, blushed and thought about greeting her fellow disciples with whom she had a good relationship.
Chen Xuan smiled and nodded to the disciples he had met once before.
Soon, the delegation from the Ancient Academy came out to greet them.
Tianxing immediately paid respects to his master and the sect leader, while Chen Xuan, who had come as a son-in-law, also paid respects, referring to himself as a junior.
Acting in this way, the headmaster and immortals of the ancient academy felt that they had reached the pinnacle of their lives, and naturally welcomed Chen Xuan, the sect's new son-in-law, into the ancestral hall with utmost courtesy.
At this moment, the main hall of the academy was filled with first, second, and third generation disciples of the ancient academy. Everyone looked expectantly at the two people in the center. According to the rules, Lord Chen Xuan and Senior Sister Tianxing were to read their marriage certificate in front of the ancestral tablets of the sect, in front of the sect leader, the immortal ancestor, and countless disciples. What a rare scene that was to be seen in a thousand years!
Seeing the headmaster of the academy nod and smile, Chen Xuan and Tian Xing each took out a piece of crimson gold silk marriage certificate—Chen Xuan was actually able to use this crimson gold silk, which was reserved exclusively for His Majesty, in public.
Tianxing was no longer the boisterous and carefree person she used to be in the sect. Holding the marriage certificate she had written herself, she was incredibly dignified, her pretty face flushed. She looked tenderly at her husband beside her before reading it aloud:
"Disciple Tianxing swears by the Heavenly Dao: From this day forward, I will be bound to Chen Xuan, a disciple of the Nine Heavens Profound Purity Palace, through life and death, and we will become Daoist partners. With our ancestors above and the Heavenly Dao as our witness, in the future, even if the path of cultivation is fraught with difficulties, calamities befall us, the years pass and time ravages us, and the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, we will never leave each other, never abandon each other, and will stay by each other's side without complaint or regret!"
Chen Xuan was unaware of the contents of the Heavenly Marriage Certificate beforehand. As she finished reading it, a surge of celestial energy descended.
Chen Xuan looked at the shy Tianxing with gentle eyes and nodded slightly before unfolding his handwritten marriage certificate and reading it aloud:
"Following the ancient traditions of Xuanxiao, we will now perform the six rites of betrothal, name inquiry, auspicious date selection, gift presentation, wedding date setting, and the wedding ceremony. I, Chen Xuan, and Tianxing have known each other for many years, and have gone through three tribulations of life and death together. Our love is mutual. Today, with the ancestors of the Ancient Academy as witnesses, I wish to offer the ancient treasures of immortality: three leaves of the Enlightenment Treasure Tree, two copies of the Pure Yang Qi Refining Method, 100,000 hectares of superior spiritual fields, and 8 million catties of Origin Liquid as betrothal gifts. On the auspicious day of the second day of the second month of the 14798th year of the Dragon Calendar, with ten thousand immortals in attendance, celestial beings as witnesses, and an immortal chariot leading the way, I will formally marry my Daoist companion, Tianxing, as my wife!"
Upon hearing Chen Xuan list four betrothal gifts, the patriarch, sect leader, elders, and disciples of all ranks in the Ancient Academy trembled and stared wide-eyed at Chen Xuan.
Judging from Tianxing's shocked expression, she only learned about the contents of the betrothal gifts at this moment.
Amidst gasps of astonishment, Chen Xuan flipped his hand, sending three vibrant green leaves, each radiating a thousand divine rays, two Pure Yang Qi Refining Techniques that had driven various tribes and sects mad, and two jade bottles flying toward the sect leader and others on the platform.
One of the two jade bottles contained 100,000 hectares of top-grade spiritual fields, while the other contained a full 8 million catties of source liquid.
The dowry is probably even more generous than the one Xuan Xiaomo gave when he married his son—it's two complete Pure Yang Qi Refining Methods, something Xuan Xiaomo would never easily reveal the secrets of his tribe.
When the headmaster of the Ancient Academy received the four betrothal gifts, his hands trembled.
"Thank you, my husband." Tianxing understood that Chen Xuan had given such a generous gift because of her importance to him. She grasped Chen Xuan's hand, her eyes reddening, unsure of what to say.
"Xing'er, you are much more important to me than these external things."
In fact, among these betrothal gifts, only the Enlightenment Treasure Tree Leaf, Spirit Field, and Source Liquid can be exclusively enjoyed by the disciples of the Ancient Academy. As for the two Pure Yang Dharma Gates, with Tianxing marrying into Qingtian County, they will naturally be accompanied by the entire academy's endless Daoist scriptures and inheritances.
Such a generous gift was received by the Ancient Academy, and that very night Chen Xuan experienced the hospitality of a new son-in-law. He was entertained by his father-in-law and other relatives. Even as a powerful cultivator, he got a little dizzy from the alcohol and had to use his divine power to neutralize the strong liquor before he could safely return to his residence in Tianxing.
The moonlight, like a cascading silver river, illuminated the vibrant mountains. Inside the mansion, Chen Xuan stumbled in, only to find Tian Xing dressed in red, sitting anxiously and nervously by the bedside, waiting. Upon seeing Chen Xuan return, she immediately burrowed under the covers, covering her head, unable to look at him.
For nearly twenty years, they've journeyed together, from their first meeting at the Wanbaoshan Treasure Hunt, to Bai Li being tricked and bitten under the table at the Qingtian Marquis's mansion and injected with the deadly Red Phoenix Poison, then kissing in the room to remove the poison, to Chen Xuan giving them the Dao Talisman under the snowy sky that year, their adventures together on the ancient Immortal Realm Road, and the life-or-death decision at the Wanbaoshan headquarters in the capital a few years ago, their unwavering loyalty, all the way to tonight... Tianxing Hongzhuang awaits and waits...
Twenty years is but a blink of an eye for a cultivator, but for Chen Xuan, every single event along the way is unforgettable.
After he lay down, Tianxing naturally hugged him.
"Husband," Tianxing whispered nervously in his ear, "Are you drunk?"
"Yeah, I'm drunk," Chen Xuan said with a smile.
"Alright then, may I sleep with my husband in my arms tonight?" Tianxing was devoted to the Dao and had never experienced matters between men and women. Although she felt that something should happen at this moment, she did not know the specifics and could only say this.
Chen Xuan had traveled through time several times and had a wealth of theoretical experience, but he had no practical experience whatsoever.
He turned to face the incredibly shy Tianxing, holding her tightly in his arms. He felt her softness and bonelessness, as if he were embracing a cloud. Then he took a deep breath of the finest wine, and all he could taste was the color of moonlight and the fragrance of a daughter.
"Husband, why are you taking off my robes? I never used to need them for cultivation."
"Husband, why are you so hot, like a furnace?"
Bathed in moonlight, a divine body, seemingly perfect and radiating a lustrous, jade-like glow, was revealed before Chen Xuan.
Tianxing asked the absurd questions with a mix of nervousness and trepidation. Suddenly, a tingling sensation spread throughout her body. She abruptly pulled her arms around Chen Xuan's head, biting her red lips lightly, and trembled as she said:
"Husband, what are you doing?"
"No, no... suck it, it's sour and numb."
Honestly, if the occasion and atmosphere hadn't been inappropriate, Chen Xuan would have laughed out loud at this question—how could there be such a naive girl in the world? Fortunately, he was extremely gentle with his Daoist partner.
Before long, Tianxing gradually adapted and began to cooperate awkwardly.
At this moment, in the mountain cave, there was no worldly noise, only two breaths resonating in the silence, like the gentle trembling of a zither string, like the turning of stars.
The starry sky outside the window was gradually obscured by dark clouds, and the pattering raindrops pattered on the branches and leaves of the medicinal herbs in the herb garden outside the cave. A strong wind began to rise, and the budding flowers swayed from side to side in the wind and rain, as if dancing gracefully, or passively enduring the baptism of the wind and rain.
