Chapter 723 - Crashing the Honeymoon (1/2)
“Fei Fei, Look! It’s so amazing here. I would never have guessed that it’s so large inside, filled with strange plants and animals. Look at that bird, it’s huge! It looks golden and is at least a dozen meters long. Uh? Is that a dragon?!” Ning Xin shouted.
Ning Xin had insisted on tagging along once she learned that Xu Rongfei had received the invitation. Xu Rongfei caved in eventually, but regretted her decision as soon as they entered the Green Dragon Grand Array.
Xu Rongfei buried her face in her palm and shook her head helplessly.
Yingzhou Island cracked a smile and said, “Gold Nugget was rescued by Master from the Yingzhou Island, while White Drake is the Array Spirit of the Green Dragon Grand Array. Miss Xu, this way please. Master is waiting for you.”
“Yeah.”
Xu Rongfei nodded and followed up.
Only the most powerful politicians and businessmen could have been invited to visit the top of the Eastern Mountain, however, even they would be barred from entering the North Qiong Pavilion since that was reserved for Chen Fan’s family and friends only. Xu Rongfei noticed Chen Fan and Fang Qiong as soon as she entered the North Qiong Pavilion.
Fang Qiong’s sublime beauty made her look like an otherworldly G.o.ddess.
Chen Fan stood beside her, long dark hair flowing down to his shoulders, its color and texture contrasting the glint in his eyes. The two looked like a match made in heaven. Xu Rongfei was taken aback by the duo’s breathtaking attractiveness.
“Fei Fei, welcome! Come here to see mom.”
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun waved her hand.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun had met Xu Rongfei in Yan Jin and she pitied the girl after the death of her parents, so she decided to take Xu Rongfei under her wing.
Xu Rongfei moved slowly toward w.a.n.g Xiaoyun as she replied coyly, “Mom!”
“Haha.”
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun’s face bloomed like a flower.
She regarded the three girls with joy. An Ya was caring, Fang Qiong was beautiful, and Xu Rongfei was kind and the most lovable.
“If my little sh*t can marry all three of them and give me three grandkids, I will be in heaven!”
Overtaken by excitement, w.a.n.g Xiaoyun didn’t realize how loud she was. Chen Fan nudged her with an elbow and urged under his breath, “Mom, what are you talking about?”
“Why? Why can’t I talk about it?”
w.a.n.g Xiaoyun shot a hot glare back at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan shook his head in resignation. The comical exchange made everyone laugh, including the bride.
Once they had finished the tea ceremony, the bride and the groom were to greet the guests. Ye Qincang was also sitting among the guests, he raised a cup of wine when it was his turn to meet Chen Fan.
“Senior, thanks to your battle, China won’t see another war for at least fifty years. I drink in your name!”
The United States had been soundly defeated by Chen Fan and lost its seat of power in the world. This s.h.i.+ft in the power dynamics had made the United State’s rivals—mainly China and Russia—heave a sigh of relief. The United States would be quiet for a while as long as Chen Fan was still alive.
“Please look after my parents after I leave.”
Chen Fan emptied the cup and talked to Ye Qincang using Divine Will.
Ye Qincang paused a second and then nodded.
In addition to Ye Qincang, Li Wuchen, Director Xiao, Azure Dragon and Ye Nantian were also invited. Red Sparrow was wearing a black dress that exposed half of her back. She colored her lips in a bold and inviting red, as if ready for a kiss at a moment’s notice.
Yu Qin looked at Chen Fan with a great measure of excitement.
“General Chen, you kick a**. You are the true role model of strength and power to all Chinese soldiers, including me.”
“You can do anything as long as you put your heart into it. ”
Chen Fan smiled.
The last table Chen Fan visited was occupied by his friends, such as Xu Haoxuan, Wu Junjie, Yan Xiaobai, Lin Weiwei and Jiang Tanqiu. The mood was much more complicated at this table than at any other.
“I still can’t believe that you are the same person that played soccer and video games with us,” Wu Junjie said with a cup of wine in his hand.
“Life is a box of chocolates,” Chen Fan replied.
Such it was. If Cangqin the Immortal didn’t save him in his past life, he would have never become the North Mystic Celestial Lord; this wedding, and this conversation would have never taken place.
“Couldn’t be more true. Let’s drink to that!” Xu Haoxuan chimed in. His voice was filled with grat.i.tude and appreciation for what Chen Fan had done for him. Thanks to him, he finally found his place in the Hong family.
Once Chen Fan had drunk with each and every guest, he scanned the crowd and said, “I thank you for coming to our wedding. Please enjoy the meal, me and Xiao Qiong will have to leave you now.”
“Master, where are you going? To the honeymoon already?” A’Xiu jested.
“No, I’m going to attend the real wedding ceremony.”
Chen Fan grabbed Fang Qiong’s hand and strode into the main hall of the North Qiong Pavilion.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, countless golden lights beamed out of the North Qiong Pavilion as a thick cloud moved in to shroud the pavilion. The Pavilion slowly rose to the sky like the moving castle of a sage.
Ten meters, a hundred, a thousand.
The building slowly disappeared into the sky.
