Chapter 175: Traditional marriage ceremony

Staring at the red '喆' made out of paper and stuck on the wall of the room, Huo Zaiyuan heaves a resigned sigh and massages his aching temple.

How exactly did the situation evolve to this stage? Even he doesn't know.

"Why are you sighing?" Long Zhanye hugs Huo Zaiyuan from behind, kissing the top of his head. Snow white is the colour best suited for this person in his arms. It is the colour he years for the most, as well as the colour he is infatuated with. "I understand. You don't wish to marry me, which is why you are sighing. Then forget it, I'll tell them to stop, so don't - "

As he says this, he lets go of Huo Zaiyuan, turning around and preparing to walk out.

"Eh? Ah...hold on..." Seeing him turn away, genuine anxiety surfaces in Huo Zaiyuan's heart. Swiftly, he reaches out to grab Long Zhanye's wrist, a pretty red blush spreading across his cheeks. "I...I didn't say I am unwilling. You...don't you tell them to..."

A self-satisfied grin breaks out on Long Zhanye's face. Spinning around, he wraps Huo Zaiyuan in a tight hug. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? Even if you are unwilling to marry me today, I would have forced you to do so..."

"How can a groom be like that..." Huo Zaiyuan blushes, smacking his chest before returning the hug. "I...I love you."

"I love you too."

No further words are exchanged as the couple displays their deep affection through a slow, scorching kiss.

After Long Zhanye and Huo Zaiyuan gathered their group of friends and informed them of their plan to use the demon's power and return to the Immortal Realm, Li Qing instantly raised the issue of performing a wedding ceremony for the couple. Before either of them can react, everyone else present nodded in agreement, then rushed off in various directions to busy themselves with the preparation.

While their group of friends are naturally happy that the two will be marrying, none will feel happier then Long Haotian. Because he is able to personally witness his treasured grandson finally forming a family of his own. The child he saw born, personally raised and will forever dote on.

The matter of Long Zhanye and Huo Zaiyuan's marriage was not announced to the public or even to the entire military district. They personally invited their group of close friends and a handful of subordinates, but the number of people who turn up is still not small. Presently, the building's topmost level is already bustling with activity.

Although it is the apocalypse, this is still the wedding of A City's senior officer Long Zhanye. Even if the ceremony is plain and simple, they still need to ensure the entire process goes smoothly, and nothing has been overlooked. For example, Long Zhanye's ceremonial attire. Originally, the groom himself was going to wear his own ceremonial military uniform, but somehow, the soldiers are able to find a grand-looking, white and silver military uniform to act as the ceremonial attire. As for Huo Zaiyuan, even though in the soldiers' eyes, he is the wife in this relationship, they still cannot make him wear a female bridal gown. Thus, the soldiers once again miraculously produce a Tang Dynasty style's ceremonial robe that is a cheerful red[1]. The golden embroidery lining the hem and the surface of the fabric appears lavish and sumptuous. Tailored to fit him, the bottom portion of the robe is rather wide, resembling a dress. Coupled with an equally red and embroidered pair of cloth shoes, Huo Zaiyuan makes an extremely beautiful groom (bride). It is clear to see that in regards to their Boss' wedding, the subordinates put in a lot of thought and effort.

As today is his wedding day, after his subordinates have observed and ensured their Boss will absolutely not become angry, they enact the traditional practice of separating the bride and groom during their respective preparations, not allowing them to meet face to face until the ceremony commences. Bringing Huo Zaiyuan to Li Qing and Qin Jun's unit, the white-haired man has not gone out the door for the entire day, causing Long Zhanye to feel restless and itchy in his heart.
