Chapter 181

Sang Yan carried a chair over with one hand and found a soft cushion from somewhere.

He helped Qiao Suisui sit down, squatted in front of her, and discussed with her in a gentle tone: "Let's leave here first," the man's eyes revealed deep worry, "Your body is important."

Seeing Qiao Suisui nod obediently, Sang Yan smiled gently. He bent down, carefully picked her up, and let her head rest on his shoulder.

Qiao Suisui didn't refuse, obediently snuggling into his arms, feeling his warm body temperature and steady heartbeat. She could feel Sang Yan's heartbeat accelerating; that kind of excitement born from worry and care seemed to be transmitted to her heart.

Sang Yan held her, constantly warning himself in his mind not to let his imagination run wild. This surge of emotion made him somewhat at a loss, yet he couldn't help but feel moved. He whispered to relieve her fatigue, saying they would be back soon, and it would be fine once they were back. He tried hard to look calm, but that hint of imperceptible gentleness and panic lingered and spread between their breaths.

Even for this brief contact, Sang Yan just wanted to protect her in his arms. He held Qiao Suisui and walked slowly out of the church, the sunlight outside spilling onto the two of them.

A few more days passed, and it was finally the day for Qiao Suisui to officially hold the mating ceremony with Luka, Laiboli, Zongfang, and Ka'er.

In the Sunless Rainforest, sunlight filtered through the layers of tree crowns, casting mottled light and shadows.

Tall, lush, and full of greenery.

The air was filled with the moist scent of soil, mixed with the fragrance of flowers.

Along the winding path, the roadside was dotted with colorful flowers, as if offering the most beautiful blessings for this grand ceremony. With every step Qiao Suisui took, the petals under her feet seemed to have life, gently blooming with her footsteps and paving a colorful flower path.

I don't know where Ka'er found an Archbishop, who was currently encouraging her to walk over with a kind gaze. A Yao was carrying her skirt behind her, and Gaimailun raised his forearm for her to lean on. Qiao Suisui walked slowly along the path. At this moment, she seemed like a fairy in a dream, in a pearl-white mermaid wedding dress that made her look elegant and noble.

The pearlescent silk skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a sparkling lake. The dress was dotted with countless tiny crystal beads, flickering with brilliant light with her movements, as if stars had fallen upon her.

Her long hair was pinned up, and she wore light makeup, making her already beautiful face as exquisite as a sculpture, her skin fair and delicate, revealing a faint glow.

Walking up to the Archbishop, Qiao Suisui gently let go of her skirt with both hands, looked around, and asked, "Where are they?"

Gaimailun smiled mysteriously and pulled A Yao away.

Suddenly, an arrow burning with fire streaked across the sky, forming a parabola and shooting accurately into the center of the wreath target in front. Instantly, the hot air balloons in the sky burst, and colorful ribbons spilled down like a waterfall.

Qiao Suisui turned back in surprise and saw Luka standing not far behind her. At this moment, he was holding a bow and arrow tightly, his eyes as gentle and firm as a spring breeze.

A rain of petals began to fall from the sky, landing on the ground like a pure snowfield, making her feel as if she were in an ocean of flowers.

Just then, footsteps came from the other three directions simultaneously. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw three men in white suits walking from different directions, each holding a bouquet of flowers in their hands.

Behind Zongfang, water swirled in the air, forming a huge curtain of water. Sunlight filtered through the water curtain, refracting seven-colored light, as if a rainbow were hanging in the sky.

The man's face was no longer stern, but he gazed at Qiao Suisui, revealing a gentle smile from the bottom of his heart. He knew that he had waited a long time for this moment, so long that the glacier in his heart had begun to melt.

Behind Laiboli was a huge hollow gate built of mountain stones, each stone unique in shape. His eyes were as calm as a deep pool, yet they revealed deep love and firmness. The bouquet in his hand was pure white lilies, symbolizing purity and loyalty.

Ka'er stood on the other side, holding the kite Sang Yan had given him. The kite's streamers swayed gently in the breeze. Ka'er's hands trembled with nervousness. He looked at the beautiful figure standing in the center, his usually uninhibited face filled with tenderness and focus.

Qiao Suisui stood in the center of the four, looking at them with a smile.

Ka'er was the first to stride over, bringing the kite to her, taking out a flower and pinning it on the kite, and taking her hand to fly it together. "Darling, when will you go with me to see our home?"

Laiboli also stepped forward, smiled affectionately at her, gazed at her, took out the ring from the lily bouquet, knelt on one knee, and put it on her middle finger.

"I will bet everything to protect you, my Queen." He leaned down and gently kissed the back of her hand.

Luka stepped forward, picked one of the flowers from the bouquet, pinned it to Qiao Suisui's ear, and whispered: "Sui Sui, from the first moment I saw you, I knew that my body, my heart, and my soul would always belong only to you."

Zongfang was the last to come over, every step extremely solemn. He handed the bouquet to her, his eyes full of sincerity: "Qiaoqiao, thank you for coming into my life."

Qiao Suisui lowered her head and smiled, her gentle appearance imprinted in the heart of every man.

Suddenly, the wind stopped.

Ka'er's expression suddenly became a bit nervous. It should be known that the saying in the Freedom Alliance is that if you can't gather the four elements, it means you won't receive the blessing of the Shoushen.

Just as Ka'er was thinking about how to make the kite fly again, a powerful sound of flapping wings came from the sky. A giant dragon descended from the clouds, its wings stirring up a gale like a windmill. The dragon circled in the air, flapping its wings with all its might, and suddenly the wind rose. Ka'er seized the opportunity to fly the kite high, letting go of the string in his hand and letting it soar in the sky.

"Thanks," Ka'er muttered, looking gratefully at the dragon's figure in the sky.

The four elements had been gathered, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be summoned by something, casting colorful rays of light.

The Archbishop recited the vows to Qiao Suisui and the four men—

"Under the witness of the Shoushen, I hope that no matter in good times or bad, you will always love each other, cherish each other, and no matter how life changes, you will be by each other's side, spending this..."

Boom—

Clang—

A strong and blinding white light flashed by rapidly—

The sky of the Sunless Rainforest instantly became dark, covered with dark clouds, lightning, and thunder.

Qiao Suisui was shocked by the sudden loud noise, her ears ringing, and she was briefly stunned for a moment. Before she could react, the scene around her had become blurred.

"NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hearing Laiboli's heart-wrenching shout, Qiao Suisui felt an irresistible force pull her into it, her body instantly dragged into the ground by a force.

Luka, Laiboli, Zongfang, and Ka'er were all filled with horror. They rushed toward Qiao Suisui simultaneously, desperately trying to grab her hand, but it was all too late.

"Qiaoqiao!!!!!!!!"
