Chapter 286: The Wedding Ceremony (1/2)

On the next day, morning slowly arrived, but there were already many people taking their dutiful posts at the Lion's Pride Golden Palace. The relatively ”normal” practitioners that lived there, were all working extra hard today, since it would be a very important date for the whole sect.

The entire Lion's Pride Golden Palace, was already full of ornaments and festive things, but the area where the wedding ceremony was going to happen, the Main Golden Palace, was practically unchanged.

There wasn't a need to put any more ornaments there, since the entire building was a huge palace made out of gold and golden decorations. It was so majestic, that some people used to kneel down and worship it from time to time. That building alone, was already enough to show the rest of the world how rich and mighty the Lion's Pride Golden Palace really was.

As time passed, the guests kept entering the main palace, where they were able to see five of the eight Lion Guardians, standing straight at the back of a huge altar. From the initial eight, three of them were missing. But that was due to the fact that the eight and seventh Lion Guardians, were serving as keepers at the outside gate and the one ranked first, unfortunately died a few months ago.

Ranked guardians weren't something so easy to come by, so the ranks haven't been updated yet, maintaining the Lion Guardians at the number seven for now.

Qiao Bao finally arrived at the main palace, where he walked all the way towards the golden altar in order to wait for the bride. He was wearing his golden armor, showing his almighty status and power for everyone that was watching him, but inwardly, he was feeling nervous. He was feeling an anxiety like he never felt before and most of his concerns, were centered around the possibility of the bride not showing up.

A few minutes later, at that huge golden hall where the ceremony would be happening, Qiao Xuan finally appeared. There were many women following behind him, as they were his wives. Naturally, the one walking almost beside him, was Qiao Bao's mother, while the other, were his concubines. They were secretly eyeing the main wife with envy and cursing Qiao Bao inwardly.

Qiao Bao's parents looked at him as they entered the hall, moving towards the main seats at the front row.

This show was for Qiao Bao to shine, so Qiao Xuan decided to stay low-key, watching everything together with his family.

At the outside area, a black carriage finally arrived. The driver ”First Shadow”, opened the door for the princess and watched as she descended.

Her silver hair immediately obfuscated the golden ornaments around the whole place and both Lion Guardians keeping watch at the entrance of the sect, lost their ability to think properly.

Serene was really a perfect jewel, but unfortunately, she was being influenced by that purple energy inside her soul.

By herself, she walked towards the Lion's Pride Golden Palace, where she just entered alone. The Lion Guardians had even forgotten to properly guide her, admiring her beauty by the side.

First Shadow didn't accompany her and instead of entering, she just vanished. She did it right before the nose of two Lion Guardians, but they didn't notice anything, since they were in a trance, looking towards the figure of a legendary beauty moving away.

Serene was actually wearing a black veil, and if not for that, they would have been completely bewitched by her. However, even though she was wearing a plain black dress and a black veil, the sight of her beautiful silver hair alone, was enough to move any man. When people looked at her, it was like they were directly looking towards the silver moon in a dark sky. It was the only point they could focus on.

As if she already knew the way, she went past every single guard, every single guest, moving towards the Main Golden Palace, where the ceremony would be held. When she finally arrived near there, a sudden silence took control over the whole environment.

Gasp!
