Chapter 922: Chapter 916: The Wedding Begins, Uninvited Guests Stirring Trouble!_1
Bi Bidong poked Luo Yu in the chest with her jade finger from the side.
"What do you say?"
"You've got over thirty intimate female friends now."
"What's the officiant going to ask you at the time?
"Do you agree to grow old together with Ning Rongrong, Xiaowu, Gu Yuena, Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan...?"
"Do you agree to stay by Ning Rongrong's side forever... love only her, no, love all of them?"
As Bi Bidong teasingly spoke, Luo Yu's mouth twitched into a spasm.
This was simply outrageous.
Are these wedding vows? It's like reading off a menu, listing so many names.
Good thing we didn't invite an officiant, or he'd be crying right now.
Why should he get paid for just one wedding and yet officiate over thirty at once? That's just too exaggerated.
After receiving a couple of cold stares from the beauties behind him, Luo Yu straightened his attire and walked out from the rear hall.
"Boom!"
The moment he stepped out, countless fireworks exploded in the sky, brilliant and beautiful, echoing loudly.
Everyone stood up, and the applause went on without end.
Veneration and admiration filled the eyes that were cast upon him, and the festively dressed guards in the distance glowed with frenetic adoration.
To the common folk, a strong figure like Luo Yu was a stuff of legends.
Seeing him in person was nigh impossible.
"Hum—"
The Sky Reflecting Mirror hovered high above the great hall, broadcasting the scene of the wedding to the whole world. Everyone, whether rich or poor, could see it.
This was going to be Soul Land's biggest wedding in history, with the most luxurious guests, the greatest number of onlookers, the most blessings received, the most and prettiest brides, and the handsomest and strongest groom. It's unlikely anyone else could ever hold such a wedding in the future.
Unless Luo Yu, not content to be lonely, decided to expand his horizons again.
"So handsome!"
"That's our Alliance Hierarch, not only powerful but so handsome it's unfair to the living."
The whole continent was abuzz, not just the guests present. Luo Yu was now the absolute icon of Soul Land, the dream lover of every beautiful girl in the land, the ultimate fantasy of countless billions of young ladies.
Now, seeing Luo Yu looking so dashing, his image was deeply etched into their minds, destined for dreamy encounters.
Girls with romantic or lovesick tendencies had already involuntarily pressed their thighs together, their cheeks flushed, their thoughts a mystery.
Luo Yu stood on a high platform paved with white marble, all eyes gathered on him.
The moment he raised his hand,
The whole place fell instantly silent, still as death, you could hear a pin drop.
Luo Yu smiled warmly and said,
"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend my, Luo Yu's, wedding. I would like to express my gratitude."
With that, Luo Yu bowed politely, without putting on any airs.
It was his first wedding, and Luo Yu simply went along with the flow of the guests' arrivals.
Yet none dared to respond to his pleasantries.
"It's no trouble, no trouble at all. The affairs of our Alliance Hierarch are the most important."
"Yes, what could be more important in Soul Land than the Alliance Hierarch's business?"
Noticing Luo Yu bowing, the many powerful figures who had just sat down all stood up in unison and bowed in return.
If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter much, but Luo Yu caught sight of Ning Fengzhi, Bai He, and other relatives to the bride bowing as well.
He suddenly felt overwhelmed.
They were the elders today; why were they even bowing at all?
Luo Yu was left speechless.
But upon reflection, he realized that Soul Land has always revered the strong, a convention that had never changed.
Meanwhile, his homeland, Huaxia on Earth, was truly a land of decorum, where being powerful didn't necessarily make you right, and respect for seniority was still a thing.
Luo Yu once again bowed deeply, and immediately, the crowd hurriedly followed suit, bending even lower.
Had the venue permitted, some would have even wished to prostrate themselves in respect.
However, this time Luo Yu subtly exerted his strength, directly lifting up family members like Qian Daoliu, Tang Chen, Bai He, Snow Night Emperor, and Ning Fengzhi. As a person from Huaxia, he had deeply ingrained respect for elders embedded in his very bones.
This was a demonstration of respect.
Ning Fengzhi and the others felt this power and, seeing Luo Yu bowing to them respectfully, were touched.
Luo Yu's status and strength were now unparalleled.
In heaven and on Earth, only he was revered.
Throughout his life, he could act without concern for anyone else's feelings.
Yet even with his strength reaching such heights, he remained unchanged from before, his original intentions still intact.
He honored the virtuous and respected his kin and friends.
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, his daughter had truly married a good man.
What does it matter if one is powerful?
If one is arrogant, his daughter might suffer upon marriage, but Luo Yu's humility brought Ning Fengzhi great comfort, completely easing his mind.
Qian Daoliu was somewhat moved.
He had lived a life of pride due to his formidable strength, but seeing Luo Yu's demeanor, he suddenly felt ashamed of himself.
If someone as powerful as Luo Yu could be so humble, what was he acting haughty for?
But perhaps what was more overwhelming was joy; his granddaughter was marrying the Ideal Gentleman, and as a grandfather, he too could rest easy.
"Tap, tap, tap—"
After the rites were concluded, the process moved swiftly. One by one, the brides in red dresses and high heels walked out from the rear hall.
In that instant, it seemed as if the world lost all its color.
Beautiful!
Exquisitely beautiful.
Any one of them was a beauty beyond compare, and the visual impact of so many beautiful women gathered together was even more staggering.
Even those in the audience without any inappropriate thoughts were subconsciously stunned by the beauty of the brides.
And through the Sky Reflecting Mirror, countless commoners watching were also left dumbstruck.
"This... so many beautiful women."
"Is this... too... too... exaggerated."
The young ladies couldn't help but wail.
"It's over, there's no chance now. I'll never be with my Luo Yu idol. All the brides are so beautiful, I don't compare to a single one of them."
"Wuu wuu wuu—"
Luo Yu's lips curled into a smile. As the women stepped onto the stage one by one, the sky lit up with countless rosy glows, and miraculously, numerous petals appeared out of nowhere.
The fragrance spread wantonly, wafting for miles.
A misty fairy fog rose from the ground, and with beautiful petals raining from the sky, there were exactly nine auspicious golden dragons swimming in the fog.
The scene was magnificent and grand.
As the brides took their places and Luo Yu also stood with his family, ready to proceed with the official segment of the wedding ceremony,
Suddenly, a massive explosion sounded in the starry sky.
The whole of Soul Land shook.
"Boom!"
"What happened, what's going on?"
"Unbelievable, someone dares to create a disturbance at this time? Are they courting death?"
The commoners voiced their anger, discontent with the disruption of such a joyous atmosphere.
Qian Daoliu and the others, whose faces were initially filled with smiles, stood up immediately, their expressions serious as they gazed towards the direction of the celestial disturbance.
Luo Yu's eyes also flashed with a cold light, any trace of a smile vanishing from his face, as a bone-chilling coldness radiated from his body.
