Two days passed in a jiffy, and finally the day of the wedding had arrived. Hao Ren was wearing a crimson red tang jacket where a dragon seemed to be embroidered, with black pants, and shoes.
He looked very handsome at the moment, and asked, "Xiao Mei, has the dress been delivered to Lingshi?"
Xiao Mei replied, "Yes, Boss. It was delivered last night only and madam is satisfied with the fitting. She did ask me about the material used in the dress but I tactfully told her that it was a surprise for later."
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "You are so smart. Now, shall we get going, it would be awkward to arrive late to pick up the bride."
Xiao Mei nodded and the young man exited the cloaking room while fastening his watch around his wrist. Tang Zen and Hao Xinyuan were dressed in matching black dress and suit, after they restored their cultivation, they both looked very young and pronounced.
The old lady nodded to Hao Ren and said, "Is everything ready?"
Hao Ren nodded and replied, "Heath is attending to the guests downstairs and they are all ready to leave."
Tang Zen nodded and then after some hesitation she said, "Mei wanted to come but she has gone on a trial from the sect so she cannot come for the time being."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "It's alright, I understand, plus if she appeared before all the people from the village, it would be hard to explain things. I understand."
He spoke calmly and Tang Zen sighed. She wanted the relationship between her children to grow quickly but she also knew that things could not be pushed or things might get even more complicated. Hao Xinyuan patted her shoulder and said, "It is fine, let them handle things slowly. At least he is acknowledging her presence."
Tang Zen nodded and said, "This whole thing is one of my biggest regrets."
Hao Xinyuan shook his head and replied, "Do not think so much, today is a joyous occasion let us not ponder over the the spilled milk."
Tang Zen nodded and calmed her mind before following the her husband outside the house. Hao Ren had already gone down and was greeting with people. Mostly his subordinates from the Thunder Technologies and some of his friends had come over to congratulate.
The young man bore a big smile on his face, and finally a loud voice echoed from the side, "Old Hao, you rascal, how dare you put up the bachelor party video online, I am being roasted by everyone."
Everyone turned to the side and they found a slightly chubby young man walking over in a black suit and they could not help but smile at him. This man was Jin, Hao Ren's only friend when he had first come to the city.
Jin was an amiable guy but has been away working for the Elvis Clothing Brand. Hao Ren chuckled and said, "You should be happy that I made you a star."
Jin placed his hand around Hao Ren's shoulder and scolded him, "If sister-in-law fired me for bad mouthing Elvis, then you will have to hire me."
Everyone laughed. Hao Ren had put up the clips from his bachelor's party and the people were surprised to see the boys having fun. They did not do much alcohol or anything but just messed around with each other inside a villa and had a barbeque party. They were just being boys.
After everyone was assembled Hao Ren and his parents got inside the big luxury sedan car, and moved to the location. Heath confirmed the situation with the convoy and everyone gave him a green signal.
Han Lingshi was sitting before a vanity mirror with Agni filling colors in a color book on the side. Yin Ye had become a close confidant and helped Han Lingshi with the make up while Maya was managing the guests with the Han Family.
Unlike Hao Ren, they were a long standing family and many rich and affluent had been called over. So the environment was quite warm. Suddenly, Han Lingxue announced, "Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please."
Everyone paused and looked at her as she said, "Just now, the security guards at the door have informed, the groom convoy is at the door. Please prepare for blocking the gates. Do not allow him to take away the bride so easily. Are you all ready?"
The young people joined a union made by Han Lingxue and replied, "Yes!"
A few moments later, when Hao Ren and his family came to the door with fire crackers rattling the area, they were stopped by seven young women who were blocking the door.
Hao Ren smiled and asked gently, "Xuexue, what is going on?"
Han Lingxue was stunned to see his appearance but then she shook her head and said, "President Hao, if you wish to marry my sister, you will need to pay the toll."
Hao Ren nodded with great understanding and asked, "What toll shall I pay?"
Han Lingxue nodded and remarked like an elder, "Hmm, good, you are a sincere lad, so, ten million yuan per person and we will let you go in."
Hao Ren thought seventy million yuan was not a big deal for him, and just when he was about to pay, Jin walked over from the side and said, "Old Hao, are you giving in a bit too early?"
Hao Ren rolled eyes and replied, "If you tried to delay me from seeing Lingshi, Old Jin, I will upload another video of you dancing by the pool."
Jin was scared and exclaimed, "You traitor! I am trying to save money for you."
The other people also nodded, the price of seventy million yuan was too much for the gate blockade. However, Hao Ren said, "I have not seen Lingshi for two days, and at this moment she is wearing the dress I made for her. I won't mind going bankrupt to be with her. No need to save money."
Hao Ren directly sent the money to Han Lingxue and stunned everyone. They thought he would bicker with them and ask them to lower the bride price but this guy just did not care. All that he wanted was to go inside and see his bride.
The media that was covering the wedding were moved by the sentiment but this was too boring. Han Lingxue sighed and said, "Brother-in-law, where is your fight spirit?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ ɴovelfire.net
Hao Ren smiled at her and said, "I will show you after the wedding ceremony. Just you wait, Second Aunt would love to hear how you drive."
Han Lingxue felt a chill run down her spine as she nodded quickly and moved to the side. The surrounding people smiled at the exchange between the two.
Hao Ren crossed the threshold of the mansion and made his way to the entrance of the, he met Maya Okudera, and Yue Shenlong. Hao Ren sighed and asked, "Brother Shen, are you also ganging up on me?"
Yue Shenlong nodded and shrugged his shoulders as he said, "There is nothing I can do about this, Xiao Xue said she will give me five million yuan, and same with everyone else."
Hao Ren was surprised and turned to look at Han Lingxue who pouted and said, "Big Brother Shen, you are a traitor, you will not get a single penny from me now. Hmph."
Hao Ren sighed and replied, "What do you want me to do?"
Yue Shenlong replied, "You need to sing a song or play something original for all of us to know that you are sincere about marrying Big Cousin."
Hao Ren narrowed his gaze and said, "Do you have any instruments?"
The people shook their heads, and Hao Ren said, "I cannot sing but I can recite a poem. Words cannot do justice to the emotions I have for Lingshi. So a poem is better, no?"
His soothsaying skill worked and the people nodded. Hao Ren then took a deep breath and said,
"You crept up in my heart without a sound.
Without you, I am hell bound.
You are the one I will always seek.
Come out my love, let me have a peek.
You have my heart, and in my heart I have you.
I would rather close my eyes forever then looking at the world without you."
The people were shocked to hear such words. They could see his eyes sparkling as he recited the poem and many girls covered their mouths. They did not expect Hao Ren to be so talented that he would compose a poem for his wife on the spot.
The people clapped and Yue Shenlong took a step to the side. Maya Okudera smiled at Hao Ren and said, "You can proceed to the last stage."
Hao Ren thanked them and made a beeline towards Han Lingshi's room. He was surprised to find a little girl dressed in a lavender colored frock standing there. Hao Ren smiled and crouched down as he asked, "So the final gate keeper is Agni."
Agni raised her chin and then nodded forcefully. She said, "Hear this, oh traveler. To reach the treasure you have to do...."
She stopped while speaking, and Hao Ren realized that the girl had forgotten what she was supposed to say. Hao Ren caught the chance and asked, "Do I have to kiss you to go through, oh mighty gate keeper?"
For Agni all this was a game, so she nodded with a big smile on her face. She was happy when Hao Ren pampered her. Han Lingxue exclaimed, "Baby no..."
However, Hao Ren had already scooped up the little one in his arms and pecked her cheek. Agni giggled and said, "You can pass."
Hao Ren then passed the child to Maya Okudera and knocked on the door.
Everyone could see the door opening and Han Lingshi appeared dressed in a red qipao. A beautiful and intricate Vermillion Phoenix was embroidered across the front.
The two people saw each other, and all of a sudden, their dresses flamed up. The people gasped, even Han Lingshi was surprised, but the next moment, the dragon and the phoenix began to move around the dress.
The entire crowd was stunned to see this. The two creatures popped off the dresses and began to fly around the couple. The sight was so fantastic the people were frozen. They watched Hao Ren step forward and extending his hand towards Han Lingshi as he knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, may I?"
Han Lingshi smiled and held his hand as she lifted him up and replied, "You may, my love."
