Claiming the Throne of Gods, Starting from the Rebirth of Nezha
Chapter 218: Getting Married

Chapter 218: Chapter 218: Getting Married

Nezha did not go looking for Deng Chanyu because even though they were about the same age, in his eyes, this girl was still a child.

He actually should have gone, otherwise, maybe he could have found Wu Xiang this time.

Not finding him wasn’t a big deal.

Getting married truly is a big deal.

The people of Outer World Town have been living in peace, and many children have been born over the past year.

The men, living in comfort, couldn’t stay idle. Those willing to be traveling merchants formed groups, led by the elderly at home, took some Silver, and ventured into the outside world.

Those who didn’t want to go out also found various things to do.

In the past, during chaotic times, the men had to work hard to pay taxes and also had to deal with corvée labor, and after that, military service. They were never free.

Now that they had free time, after just a couple of days of peace, their excess energy had no outlet. They wandered into the mountains, and one accidently stumbled upon the lair of the White-faced Ape, got beaten up, returned with a bruised face, and said they found a Spiritual Spring in the mountains, perfect for brewing wine. Unfortunately, a big rock was blocking the way. They never mentioned being beaten by the ape.

Nezha was helpless and wanted to help clear the path, but the townsfolk wouldn’t let him, saying he was meddling.

A few elders, in their eighties, even came to scold him, saying he was a young master of a prestigious family and shouldn’t be doing such heavy physical labor. If outsiders knew, it would bring shame to all of Outer World Town.

Nezha took the scolding without being able to retort, so angry that he skipped dinner, ran into the mountains in the middle of the night, beat up the White-faced Ape, and moved the boulder, which weighed several hundred thousand pounds.

Otherwise, the men would have been kept busy with just that rock.

Leisurely days pass quickly, and in a blink, the wedding day had arrived.

The Li Family was the largest household in the town, while Qiu Chuyao had no roots in Outer World Town, but there was no need to worry; the entire town of 80,000 people was her family.

A commoner’s daughter marrying into the prestigious Li Family was something the townsfolk wouldn’t dare to imagine under normal circumstances.

After all, their statuses were vastly different.

But on the actual day, this beloved girl immediately gained the sympathy of the entire town.

Even though the Li Family usually got along well with the townsfolk, at this moment, the people pretended they had been bullied, acting like Qiu Chuyao marrying into the Li Family was as if they were sending their own daughters to be bullied, feeling deeply affected and saying things like if the girl suffered even a bit, they would rally a dozen people to beat up Nezha.

Nezha found this both funny and exasperating.

Then he was pushed by his family, surrounded by relatives and friends, and dazedly completed the wedding ceremony with a girl wearing a red bridal veil.

He could carry a giant boulder weighing several hundred thousand pounds steadily, but holding the bride’s hand made his legs shake.

He didn’t know which unknown fool was egging him on to drink, and after three large vats of wine, he first used mana to relieve himself, then desperately needed to go to the restroom, making his legs tremble even more.

The five rites and three ceremonies, and all sorts of customs, he had never heard of. Overwhelmed by the drinking, he barely found a chance to relieve himself in the toilet when he heard the sound of a long blade being drawn, causing him to think someone had ill intentions, but seeing there was no anomaly, he faced the scene looking bewildered.

The partying continued well into the night, and by the time he got back to his room, he was mostly sober.

He saw the new bride sitting calmly on the bed, seemingly unperturbed despite waiting the entire afternoon. His heart warmed: from now on, his family included one more.

Family means responsibility, carried on the shoulders and remembered in the heart.

He never lacked the courage to shoulder responsibility.

Nezha approached and sat beside the bride on the bed covered with three layers of red quilts, holding the girl’s cold hand that rested on her knee.

"It’s time to lift the veil."

Hearing her delicate voice, Nezha felt a surge of joy.

Tonight was the night!

Finally, he could truly take the first step from a boy to a man.

His heart was shouting, but when he actually lifted the veil, he was momentarily stunned.

Seeing Qiu Chuyao in a red wedding gown embroidered with gold threads, the youthful girl’s image was gone, her long black hair styled like a married woman’s, her face with a rather unsuitable heavy makeup, yet still beautiful.

"How do I look?" Qiu Chuyao asked shyly, glancing at Nezha before quickly looking away but then mustering the courage to meet his gaze.

"Of course, you look beautiful."

Nezha thought, even though the makeup didn’t suit, it didn’t affect her beauty.

"As long as I look good. I’ve never worn such heavy makeup. Hong Fei said it’s a custom in Chentang Pass for new brides to dress this way, but I’ve never seen it in Zhaoge."

"Don’t listen to her; that girl just likes to mess around. My mother said, in a couple of years, when you gradually take over her responsibilities, you will be the mistress of Outer World Town, and whatever you say will be the rule."

Nezha gently embraced her, and Qiu Chuyao carefully rested her head on his chest, cautious not to mess up her painstakingly arranged hair, whispering: "Did you see Lv Zhu’er? When she brought a handful of flowers over, she even tripped. Is she really a cultivator? This girl is already a trouble magnet at such a young age, running around Outer World Town with a bunch of snot-nosed kids trailing behind."

"I just hope Lv Zhu’er doesn’t reject them and break the hearts of these boys." Nezha lightly stroked Ayu’s slender back, saying so while thinking it didn’t concern him, knowing boys in their adolescence would inevitably have their hearts broken.

"Did you notice? Xiqi sent several carts of gifts, all of them necessities for the town. We must thank them properly later."

Nezha laughed: "I heard Bo Yikao was responsible for the gift list from Xiqi. He’s meticulous, unlike my master uncle who came with two fish he caught and asked us to kill them for him."

"As elders should be. But who was that stunning female Daoist? The things she gifted were incomprehensible: Life-extending Pill, Anti-Aging Cream, Jade Nectar Dew, and so on."

"That was Long Ji, the princess of Qingluan Palace on Phoenix Mountain. Just note it down on the gift list. She comes from a prestigious background, so naturally, her gifts are precious."

Qiu Chuyao sighed, rubbing her forehead: "We need to earn more money. Otherwise, we won’t have anything suitable to give in return. We can’t just use the Spiritual Medicine in the backyard. You said they are the foundation of this small world and cannot be touched."

Seeing Qiu Chuyao, still young but already thinking so much, Nezha felt both admiration and heartache. He hugged her tightly and kissed her hard, then pushed her down on the bed.

"The lights are still on!" the girl exclaimed.

Nezha waved his hand, extinguishing the candles and oil lamps. But it didn’t matter; the room wasn’t completely dark; with his keen eyesight, he could still see everything.

He could feel the girl beneath him trembling all over, which made him even more excited. At this moment, Nezha understood why a moment of spring night was priceless.

Meanwhile, the young couple, innocent of intimate affairs, were making the bed creak and trying to find the entrance. Meanwhile, miles away, two women were fiercely clashing.

Cai Yun held a long knife, gritting her teeth, pointing at Ao Yu in front of her, saying, "I want to kill Nezha; what does it matter to you? Who are you to him?"

Ao Yu, with a cold expression, had just shattered Cai Yun’s long knife with a flick of her finger, but was almost injured by her secret technique. She was pondering why this woman hated Nezha so much to come and kill him on his wedding day when she heard those words.

She merely responded, "Don’t you find your question ridiculous? I was invited here, obviously a friend of Nezha’s. I see you have an invitation too, so why do something like this?"

Ao Yu did not know that Cai Yun had long ago gone mad in her seclusion in Golden Chicken Cave, her mind in chaos.

Cai Yun clutched the green jade hairpin Nezha had given her years ago, the not-so-sharp point digging into her flesh, drawing crimson blood.
