Hao Ren and Han Lingshi were facing each other, the young man kneeling on one knee, while holding the jade-like hand of the beautiful girl before him. Han Lingshi was smiling at him because she did not expect Hao Ren to prepare something .
Hao Ren stood up at the gentle pull from Han Lingshi and the phantoms came back to rest on their clothes once again. However, this time, Hao Ren had a golden phoenix on his back and Han Lingshi had a golden dragon. The young man walked closer to her and then led her out of the room.
The people clapped and made way for the two, they were mesmerized by the aura radiated by the couple. Hao Ren and Han Lingshi had decided earlier that they would hide their cultivation as much as they could today because the entire world would be watching them once the cloud pavilion was opened. The risk of exposure was high.
Hao Ren and Han Lingshi came downstairs, where the young man poured some tea for all the elders of the family. Han Lingshi also did the same for Tang Zen and Hao Xinyuan.
After they were done, the elders exchanged red envelops and wishes. It took them an hour before they got into cars and left for the Cloud Pavilion. Agni was also in the vehicle and the little girl asked with expectant eyes, "Big Brother Ren, can I also have wings like you and Big Sister Ling?"
Hao Ren smiled and said, "When we reach the venue, you will get wings, later I will make you a dress like the two of us have. Okay?"
Agni clapped her hands and exclaimed, "You are the best."
Han Lingshi poked her little nose, and said, "You sneaky little one, I was the best yesterday."
Agni scratched the back of her head and replied, "You both are the best, okay?"
The couple chuckled as the convoy drove. They had more then sixty vehicles following each other in one lane, including big security SUVs. The entire city was captivated by them. The topic was raised on the social media. A few people who were standing next to Hao Ren and Han Lingshi earlier and they had posted the clips of the dragon and the phoenix phantoms coming to life and exchanging places.
The netizens had gone crazy...
"What the hell!!!! Did they edit the video with VFX so quickly now. The quality is impeccable."
"Yo, upstairs, have you not read the caption? The two beasts seemed to be embroidered on the dresses, they came "alive. I am sure President Hao Ren used the hologram technology. Damn, he knows how to make a statement."
"I agree. They look so good together."
"Even though Han Lingshi is my idol, and I never thought of anyone to be worthy of her, but Hao Ren surely has some capital to touch the threshold. I hope his future performance is nice too. All the best to them."
There were praises, but their were critics too, calling them extravagant. Xiao Mei had taken up the habit of smacking such people, and when someone called them extravagant, she began to dump the data of the charity they had been doing and also the fact that all the money Hao Ren spent on his wedding came from his own pocket and not the company shocked people.
The people had to agree that they deserved to be extravagant, after all, wedding was a special event.
The couple reached the cloud pavilion unaware of the chaos on the internet. The place was built with steel and glass. The glass was strong enough to withstand a missile attack. It was called a pavilion but it was a massive hall. Hao Ren intended to convert it into a museum where all the major tech products could be displayed.
Obviously, with the help of the holographic projectors and Xiao Mei's alternate program, Knowell, it was going to be self sufficient. They just needed to arrange for security so that the people do not destroy or damage the place.
The guests entered the hall and were surprised. They only saw tables and chairs, the rest of the place was not even decorated. All they could see was small white squares everywhere. Hao Ren and Han Lingshi entered behind them and the young man said, "Knowell, light it up." This content belongs to novel_fіre.net
A voice echoed, "As you command, Sire."
The next moment, the entire hall began to transform. The floor was filled with tender green grass blades, and wild flowers appeared everywhere. The vines claimed the chairs and the tables. The people were shocked, and someone exclaimed while holding there phone, "Look at the ceiling!"
Everyone raised their heads to look up and found the dome looking like they were under water. There were jellyfishes and schools of fishes floating around the void. A few moments later, there were even small pixies that manifested around the little children. The entire place was filled with exclamations.
The waiting staff stepped up and refreshments and beverages were served to the people. In the center of the hall there was an altar where the two would perform the bows. A Taoist Priest had already been invited to conduct the ceremony.
Emily Parkins picked up a mic and walked to the center. She said, "Greetings everyone, thank you for coming over and gracing us with your presence on this joyous day. Please take your seats, the bowing ceremony is about to start.
Agni walked up to Hao Ren with a pout and the young man said, "Blink your eyes."
Agni did and then wings materialized behind her back. As the little girl excitedly ran around the wings fluttered and all the children began to chase her. Everyone was surprised by this whole set up. It did not feel like they were inside a glass building.
The Taoist Priest gestured for the couple to step onto the altar, and they followed. Everyone calmed down, and the Priest said, "Bow to the heavens."
The altar was a manifestation of heaven and earth. The couple bowed to the heavens, they performed nine kowtows. The Priest said, "Bow to the elders."
Hao Ren and Han Lingshi turned around and performed nine kowtows to their parents. Then the Priest said, "Bow to each other."
The couple stood facing each other and with a smile then performed another nine kowtows. This ceremony signified the degree of respect they should have for each other and the people around them.
The priest nodded and after saying a small prayer, he walked away. Emily Parkins took the place on the altar and said, "By the power vested in us, we pronounce you lawfully wedded, husband and wife. Hao Ren, you may now kiss the bride."
This was an impromptu act and the people all cheered. Hao Ren looked at Han Lingshi, she had been wearing a light veil on her face the entire time. Now, he could take it off, and as he did that, he froze.
Han Lingshi looked so beautiful at the moment that Hao Ren mumbled, "If this is a dream, I wish for it to freeze and for the world to end."
Han Lingshi blushed and poked his waist. The young man woke up from his dream, and they kissed each other lightly. The wedding had been completed, and the clips had been posted on the internet causing the world to erupt in shock and awe.
Many of the film directors who were present at the venue were excited, because they could exploit this technology and achieve a new level in the field of entertainment.
At the same time, Military officers were thinking about making a deal with Hao Ren as well. The young man had planned this perfectly. Just when the people thought it could not get any better, Thunder technologies updated their website and simultaneously launched trailers of their new product that was already put up for sale.
A mobile with worked with a hologram projector, called Memory. It was way more efficient than the ring Hao Ren had launched.
After the wedding, the people bought out a cake, which was made by Hao Ren himself. The couple held the knife together and sliced the cake under cheerful gazes and loud applause. Emily Parkins then said, "Since everything is almost done, let us have the couple dance with each other."
Hao Ren looked at her and said, "Old Classmate, you are very suitable to be a host."
Emily Parkins raised her chin, "It is all thanks to the script and the director speaking in my ear."
Xiao Mei was pulling the strings from the shadows.
Hao Ren nodded and held Han Lingshi's hand before he asked, "Shall we?"
Han Lingshi nodded and the couple came to the slightly open place where an orchestra was arranged by Hao Ren. The band played a love song that Hao Ren had borrowed from his old world. It was a song that he always wanted to be played on his wedding.
(It is something I want to be done, a song from the movie called 'Tangled' I see the light. I am pasting the spotify link to the instrumental version so that all of you can imagine them better.

As the music played and the two people danced, fireflies surrounded them. The surroundings turned dark and it seemed as the two of them were dancing in the moonlight, and they were lost in a world of their own. Han Lingshi was very touched by what Hao Ren had done today.
She could not have put so much thought for her own wedding even if she wanted to. It was not that she loved him any less, but she had no idea what to do. This was the first of its kind wedding. The first song came to an end but the couple did not stop dancing.
The orchestra started playing waltz music and the couple displayed their command on their moves. They began to waltz never breaking eye contacts with each other. Han Lingshi had let go of all hesitation, and was gracefully expressing to the world that she loved Hao Ren and the latter reciprocated her emotions.
The people watching the scene were left speechless, entranced by the beauty of the scene unfolding before them. Many couples held hands with each other as they gently swayed to the tunes. Everyone was dancing to the beats of their hearts that screamed love.
It was not a fantasy wedding for just Hao Ren and Han Lingshi, but everyone who was around them could not help but walk into the world of fantasy where the only thing they had going on in their minds was the memories or the thoughts about their loved ones.
While Hao Ren was dancing, the system spoke for the first time in ages, *Ding: Diamond Task complete, assessing performance.*
