13 Blood wedding Second-half and The Aftermath (1/2)

Zhu manor courtyard

Due to the chaotic situation in the town center, there's not much of a thing that can be used to decorate within this half hour preparation. There's only 4 table and a tea set for each table. The groom cloth is just a blood stain cloth from before while the bride cloth is also the same one. They don't want to use their limited time to spend on something like finding suitable cloth for them; They just want to spend their time with their family and loved ones.

The preparation is complete, and guest in this marriage ceremony is just their family and a few trusted friend. There's no one from the bride family, so Zhu Yinbing acts as bride family while Zhu Songtian acts as groom family.

The tea in a tea ceremony pot is just an ordinary tea that using in everyday life in Zhu Manor. The bride pours the tea for Zhu Songtian while the groom ours the tea for Zhu Yinbing Both of them pay respect to their respective family and their partner family.

The humble marriage ceremony continues until the end of paying respect to each other. Then both of them kissed and the simple ceremony end.

Zhu Wushang has Xiao Lan to bring him to Zhu couples with two small cups of tea in his hand, but the content is the red translucent and has an alluring aroma.

”Dad, Mom, I can't do anything more to show my filial piety please accept these two cups of Origin God Blood from me.”

He places a cup of Origin God Blood each in both Zhu couples hand. The Zhu couples looking at each other before both of them find a place to sit properly then drink the blood and immediately cycle their spirits qi to refine the power within the blood while the tears come out of their eyes. They can't describe the feeling they're experience right now, It's like pride, sadness, happiness, and deep regret mixed into one.

While Zhu couple is refining the power in the Origin God Blood, Zhu Wushang turns to Xiao Lan and bring out a small bottle at the size of a small wine jar from his chest pocket to her.

”Xiao Lan, I don't know who's your real parents but consider a bottle of Origin God Blood my dowry please... keep it.”

Xiao Lan don't know how to respond, she just helplessly smile at her husband, she marries him because she loves him not because of this Origin God Blood. She felt very complicated in this matter. This Origin God Blood can surely bring The Great Pheonix empire to greatness, but it's also a source of calamity if someone underserving knows about it.

Zhu Wushang knew what she thinks so he just places it on the table and calls his student Tian Feng to guard it. His sense never wrong before, he knew that he could trust him with his life if he manages to get him as a friend.

”Here take it” Zhu Wushang pull out two books from his chest pocket and place it on the table near the bottle of Origin God Blood, the book cover written in beautiful calligraphy.

The first one is [Myriad potent poison concoction for mortal] and the second one is [Plan for reforming new agriculture and medicine cultivation for mortal].

”You said it yourself you don't want to get drag into a power struggle so what the hell these two books are for?” Tian Feng angrily rebuke.

”Oh? I'll depart from this living world in just about one hour from now, why should I fear that? Plus if they can resurrect me and drag me to their muddy water then be my guest.” Zhu Wushang said jokingly before looking at his goddess-like wife.

”Come with me to the cliff I want to stay with you until the end.”

”Um..”

Xiao Lan smile then brings him to the cliff outside not far from Zhu manor, And this cliff is the favorite spot of them since their childhood.

-------------------------------------

Green Lake cliff - Not far from Zhu Manor

Xiao Lan support Zhu Wushang to sit on a wooden bench within the pavilion at the cliff. Then she sat near him.

”Husband? Why won't you make me yours?” She asks.

”Because it's no need, I'll become yours instead” He gave a vague answer then he kissed her.

Actually, it's not that he doesn't want to, but he can't taint her for his own selfish lust. After all his life is about to end in an hour to come. She needs to live her life and found new love it's best if she can forget him and be happy.

But… he can still symbolically live with her!

Zhu Wushang then pierce his heart with his hidden weapon to let his Origin God Blood essence flow to his mouth he uses his last bit of strength to hold Xiao Lan and force his Origin God Blood essence into her.

Xiao Lan panic and tried to force herself out but his strength in his last breath don't let go of her, and she didn't dare to use too much force, so she just accepts his last gift in tear.

------------------

The dawn has come, the cold body of Zhu Wushang within Xiao Lan embrace need to rest for eternity. She gently laid her husband body on the bench. She already knew about the deal his parent made with The Black Merchant, so she let him bring her husband body out of the pavilion.

Without saying anything, The Black Merchant flew through the air and vanished in the horizon at the direction of The Great forest of nowhere.

She looks at the dawn sun, and think about the greatest gift she got from her husband, and It's like his life has become part of her, the blood in her vein changed into something greater. She now can use The Ultimate Primal Chaos Energy, and The Primordial God Strength, both of them, are the ultimate rare element never before seen even in the higher realm.

Her special physic has evolved to Eternal Spirits Body which literally has infinite spirits qi as long as this universe still exists, Her cultivation realm is now at the Basic grade of Ascension realm.

She slowly closes her eyes in reminiscence her tears slowly drop from her eye before she opens her eye again. And now the sadness just hide in the corner of the light from her eye that shines with determination.
