Footsteps fell silently on the bridge above.
Su Qing’s figure moved past the Heavenly Emperor Realm, past the Dao Sovereign Realm, and even past the Fusion Realm.
Amidst a crowd of figures surrounding him, Su Qing slowly walked up to the city gate.
"I’ve come... to pick up the bride."
Looking at the closed city gate, Su Qing took a deep breath.
The distance between him and Du Xi was now very near.
"No way!"
"You can pick up the bride, but we at Divine Dream Sect can’t just send the young lady off like that!"
"That’s right, where’s the red envelope?"
"Young Master Su, if you don’t satisfy everyone’s demands today, we won’t let you in!"
"This is what the young lady specially instructed us to do, you must give it whether you want to or not!"
"Hahahaha..."
Chuckles, clamor, and teasing sounds rose one after another.
If it were any other time, they wouldn’t dare to speak to Su Qing like this.
But today is different; it’s the day of Su Qing and Du Xi’s grand wedding, so they brought the customs of the mortal world here.
Not for the red envelopes, just for the excitement.
Yet Su Qing had long been prepared with ’red envelopes’.
Hearing the disciples’ words, he couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, waving his hand and said, "Where are the red envelopes? Hurry and bring them out."
Immediately, many Fusion Realm cultivators came forward from behind, taking out handfuls upon handfuls of Spirit Crystals and distributing them among the Divine Dream Sect disciples.
A moment later—
"Not enough, still not enough!"
"Right, Phoenix Sect is so mighty, yet only this little for a red envelope? Too stingy!"
"Today, Young Master Su must at least take out billions of Spirit Crystals, or we won’t let you in!"
"Don’t even think about forcing your way in, or the young lady will get upset."
"Yes, if the young lady gets angry, Young Master Su knows the consequences!"
Su Qing’s mouth twitched a few times, signaling to those behind him with his eyes, the meaning clear—since they’ve said this much, let’s continue distributing?
To Phoenix Sect at this moment, a mere Spirit Crystal is hardly worth mentioning.
A large amount of Spirit Crystals was again distributed among those Fusion Realm cultivators under their ’sighs’.
After two rounds of distribution, at least tens of millions of Spirit Crystals were handed out.
Clearly, these did not satisfy the Divine Dream Sect disciples.
They still clamored, shouted, and blocked Su Qing’s way.
"Can’t you ask for a little less?"
Xiang’er smiled nearby and shouted, "Phoenix Sect is really poor, these Spirit Crystals were borrowed and must be repaid in the future, you’re fine with seeing your young lady suffer hardships after marrying into Phoenix Sect?"
"Lord Magic Saint, do you believe what you just said?"
"Hahahaha, in this entire Lower-Class Star Region, the young lady might suffer in any other sect, but only in Phoenix Sect, absolutely not!"
"Don’t fool us, it’s useless, it’s merely millions and tens of millions of Spirit Crystals, a drizzle to Phoenix Sect!"
"Actually, Young Master Su can choose not to give Spirit Crystals, but he must dance here, if the dance is nice, we’ll reluctantly let him in."
"Hmm?"
Su Qing’s eyes widened.
Dance?
"People!"
He waved his hand grandly: "Immediately distribute all the Spirit Crystals we prepared!"
"Hahahaha..."
A burst of laughter came from the Divine Dream Sect side again.
Young Master Su would rather give Spirit Crystals than dance!
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
This time, many Fusion Realm practitioners soared into the air instead of distributing one by one.
They each held a storage ring.
Once everything was prepared, countless Spirit Crystals fell from the void above like a Spirit Crystal rain.
When the Divine Dream Sect disciples looked up, they could only see Spirit Crystals, almost couldn’t see the void.
Even though they knew Phoenix Sect was wealthy, they were still shocked by the Spirit Crystals at that moment.
"This... there must be tens of billions, right?"
"Hurry, grab them, why are you dawdling?"
"Right, doesn’t matter how many, if Phoenix Sect dares to give, we dare to take!"
Once they reacted, all the Divine Dream Sect disciples who were blocking Su Qing immediately dispersed and rushed to grab the Spirit Crystals.
Taking advantage of opportunity, Su Qing and the Phoenix Sect members quickly dashed to the city gate without hesitation.
With a gentle push, the city gate opened.
Few people inside, everyone rushed out to grab Spirit Crystals...
A fiery red carpet lay on the ground, stretching into the distance.
Following the carpet, Su Qing’s steps quickened, and his breath grew more rapid.
Every woman is at her most beautiful on her wedding day.
Su Qing was really impatient to see just how beautiful Du Xi was today.
About the time of one incense stick later, a high platform appeared in everyone’s sight.
Du Tianlin sat in the middle of the high platform, in the first position.
All around were the high-ranking members of Divine Dream Sect.
Su Qing stopped his steps, took a deep breath.
Then he slowly walked to the front of the high platform, brushed his garment, and slowly knelt down.
Both knees, not one.
"Su Qing, pays respect to father-in-law!" Su Qing spoke.
Father-in-law is also family!
Without a doubt, to a married man, besides his biological parents, the closest and best to him are his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Even though Du Tianlin had vehemently opposed before, that was, after all, just a process.
Today’s marriage is the result.
"Quickly, rise."
Du Tianlin rose, came to Su Qing, and gently helped him up.
To be honest, after thinking it through, Du Tianlin, for some reason, found Su Qing more and more pleasant to look at.
It’s definitely not because Phoenix Sect is strong right now, but Du Tianlin himself couldn’t explain exactly why.
"You must be tired from your journey?" Du Tianlin smiled.
"Not tired..."
Su Qing felt a bit embarrassed.
He had been sitting in the bridal sedan all the way, if anyone was tired, it would be Xuanyuan Shengyi and the others, he wasn’t tired at all!
Clearly, his father-in-law was just making small talk with him...
"Father has been in seclusion and never discussed the matter properly with father-in-law and never presented the betrothal gifts in advance, he has always felt guilty."
Su Qing paused for a moment, then continued: "Today, father specially instructed that besides bringing the betrothal gifts, let me convey his apologies to father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"Haha, what is our family saying here?"
Deng Qian came forward from behind, smiling: "We don’t care about betrothal gifts and such, we are extremely pleased with everything Phoenix Sect arranged today, as long as you and Xi’er are well, we are content."
"Thank you, mother-in-law!" Su Qing’s eyes turned a little misty.
