Chapter 1452 The Wedding (2/2)

...

Red candles gently swayed in the bridal chamber.

Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao were lying on the wide and spacious bridal bed. After a long string of rites, the two had finally reached the bridal chamber segment.

After dismissing the servants, however, all the couple did was silently lie on the bed as if enjoying the peaceful atmosphere.

After a long time, Zhou Yuan finally turned his head to gaze at the flawless face beside him and said, “It was very troublesome, wasn’t it?”

Yaoyao pursed her lips and laughed softly. “But I did like it a lot.”

She grasped Zhou Yuan’s hand, their fingers tightly clasping together as she said, “Zhou Yuan, I’m sorry that I didn't tell you everything about the God Annihilation Curse Poison earlier.

“I just wanted to spend some quality time with you while I still could.”

Zhou Yuan shook his head. He was silent for a long time before he said, “How much longer?”

“Soon, very soon,” mumbled Yaoyao.

They were naturally referring to the eruption of the curse poison in Yaoyao’s body. Once it finally erupted, the divinity in her body would enter a state of self-preservation, causing Yaoyao to fall into a sealed state for a time. When the seal was lifted, Yaoyao’s divinity would have completely awakened.

When that happened, she would be the third god.

Yaoyao suddenly flipped her body, pressing it onto Zhou Yuan’s chest. Her black hair gently floated onto Zhou Yuan’s face as a never before seen flirtatious blush appeared on her face. She softly said, “I want to give myself to you while I still can.”

Zhou Yuan shook his head. “I don’t want to rush things. Moreover, this isn’t a true farewell. Do you really believe we won’t have any chances at all in the future?”

Yaoyao stared at Zhou Yuan’s face. Tears suddenly gathered in her clear eyes, flowing down her cheek and splashing onto his face.

This was the first time Zhou Yuan had seen Yaoyao cry.

In that instant, he felt a heart-rendering pain. He forced himself to smile as he reached out to brush away her tears.

“I’m sorry, Zhou Yuan. All I can give you are these fake feelings.”

Zhou Yuan sat up. He cupped Yaoyao’s face with both hands as he said in a somewhat hoarse voice, “Yaoyao, I am not someone who easily gives up. I will not give up no matter what you become and will always stay by your side. I promise that you will always see me whenever you lift your head.

“That’s why, I also wish that you will not give up either.”

Crystal-clear tears fell from Yaoyao’s face. There was a never before seen frailness in her at this moment.

The girl who could remain unfazed even if the sky fell finally looked like any other ordinary girl.

In the end, she stopped her tears as a smile blossomed on her flawless face. “Zhou Yuan, I want you to lift my bridal veil.”

She wanted a complete ceremony.

Under that red bridal veil was a beautiful face that would make the red candles dim in comparison.

As Zhou Yuan’s hand reached forward, he found that he was faintly trembling. One must know that he had never panicked this much even when facing the Sacred Race’s prime saints previously.

He slowly lifted the red bridal veil and gazed at the beautiful, tear-streaked face, before lowering his head to plant a deep kiss on those red lips.

Yaoyao responded with never before seen passion.

Runes suddenly began to appear on her body, each filled with vast and ancient undulations.

The runes slowly spread like a ripple, encasing her body like amber wherever they passed.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes were tightly shut, his body trembling as he felt the tenderness on his lips. In the darkness, he seemed to see a scene from long ago, where a nervous and hopeful boy, who had yet to unlock his eight meridian channels, arrived at an unknown domain from his ancestral shrine.

In the strange domain, a slim girl in blue leaned against the trunk of a tree as a pair of bright eyes silently observed him.

Their story had started from this very first meeting.

Tears rolled down from the corners of Zhou Yuan’s eyes as he felt the soft lips suddenly grow ice-cold.

Tremendous sorrow surged out from the depths of his heart, roaring like an injured animal.

Zhou Yuan slowly opened his eyes and gazed at Yaoyao as a howl of pain reverberated through his throat.

Yaoyao seemed to be encased in some kind of amber-like crystal. A mysterious aura that made even Saint experts shiver flowed its surface.

Zhou Yuan reached out towards Yaoyao’s crystal covered face.

Upon contact, the mysterious power instantly ripped apart Zhou Yuan’s flesh, causing blood to flow down the amber-like layer. However, Zhou Yuan did not even flinch, because the pain from his palm was not even a millionth of the pain in his heart.

“Yaoyao, I will not give up...I will wait for you...I’ll keep waiting for you.

“I will wait until you remember again.”

Tuntun, who had been silently lying on the bridal chamber roof released a howl filled with sadness before amber-like crystal also began to grow on its body. The crystal ultimately covered it completely, making it appear like a statue from a distance.

Of the boy, girl and beast that had met long ago, only a single lonely figure now remained.
