Supposedly, in the Jin state, you can only set these off on important occasions—they’re rare treasures. If it weren’t for Nie Saman going all out to make this wedding grand, we’d never have seen them. I’ll tell you, my brother’s getting married inside today.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the child finished speaking with pride, he instantly drew envious glances from the other children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll tell you, today my brother is one of the main figures of this wedding. Everyone in the tribe will come to attend, and even the Saman himself will write a poem to celebrate them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, the child tilted his head back, gazing at the sky; feeling the envious stares of his peers, he thought this must be the happiest moment of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was savoring the envious glances of his companions, a timid voice interrupted his moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother Muhha, what’s a poem?” asked a child with a running nose, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pfft, you don’t even know what a poem is?” Muhha sneered in disdain, then deliberately stretched out his syllables, preparing to explain what a poem was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he didn’t know what a poem was either—but he couldn’t admit it. Just a moment ago he’d said the Saman was writing a poem to celebrate his brother; if he now admitted he didn’t know what a poem was, it would be utterly humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he quickly gathered his thoughts and said: “I’ve heard my brother mention poems—poems are words spoken by learned people on very important occasions to offer congratulations. They’re highly refined; only those with great learning can produce them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding children all nodded in understanding; Muhha, meanwhile, breathed a silent sigh of relief—he’d fooled them, at least, or else he’d have been exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the newlyweds were already circulating among the banquet tables, toasting their relatives and elders; after each couple had toasted everyone at the feast, they finally came to toast Guo Jing and Nie Huaishang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this toast, the grooms fared better—after spending time with them, Guo Jing and Nie Huaishang’s approachability had largely dispelled their fear, and their expressions were relatively natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the brides trembled as they raised their cups, unable to meet the two men’s gazes; had it not been for their grooms’ support, they would have instinctively knelt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the newlyweds had finished toasting, Guo Jing and Nie Huaishang walked onto the stage smiling. Nie Huaishang joked half-seriously: “These past two days, I’ve been running back and forth between the market and the tribe, buying supplies to make this wedding lively and festive. My face is covered in dust—no wonder these brides think we’re man-eating demons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Honestly, being dusty and unkempt in daily life isn’t a big deal—but scaring people? That’s wrong. Don’t you agree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grooms on stage burst into laughter; the brides, unsettled, wondered: would their husbands really face no punishment for mocking the Saman?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Today is the warriors’ great joy—what if you scare the brides so badly they delay the wedding night?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That would be a terrible punishment for the men, wouldn’t it? Right, Lao Guo? Stand up and say something—your share of the blame for scaring them is half.” Nie Huaishang finished and handed the makeshift microphone to Guo Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing took the microphone and said apologetically: “I’d like to apologize to the young ladies here—I shouldn’t have come out looking so unkempt. I never meant to scare anyone; it’s my fault. But the grooms today are innocent—please don’t let my appearance delay their wedding night.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire banquet erupted in laughter again; the brides on stage blushed, standing there flustered and helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Enough with the jokes—can’t you see the girls are embarrassed?” Nie Huaishang snatched the microphone back and shouted loudly: “Since the girls now aren’t afraid of us two man-eating devils, let’s continue the wedding. Next, Nie and I will each ask the groom and bride two questions. Lao Guo, you ask the grooms.” He handed the microphone to Guo Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing took the microphone and asked solemnly: “Grooms, tell me: do you willingly take the woman beside you as your wife? Whether in poverty or wealth, in sickness or health, will you pledge to walk beside her, protect her, cherish her, honor her, until the end of your lives?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We do!” the grooms on stage shouted in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guo Jing pointed to his ear and said: “Sorry, your voices were too quiet—I didn’t hear you. Grooms, shout louder: do you or do you not?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We do!” In an instant, the roar thundered across the grassland, shaking every inch of the earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang took the microphone from Guo Jing and said: “Good. Our young men have made their vows here to the brides. Now, I’ll ask the brides some questions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nie Huaishang cleared his throat and asked gently: “Dear brides, today is the most important day of your lives—you will walk hand in hand with your beloved for the rest of your days. Let me ask you:”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you willingly take the young man beside you as your husband? Whether in wealth or poverty, in health or sickness, will you pledge to support each other, share your lives, and give him your trust, respect, and love without reservation? In the days ahead, no matter what difficulties or challenges arise, will you stand shoulder to shoulder with him and face them together?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We do!” the brides replied in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent. Now, please have both sets of parents come forward to witness the union of these new couples. Then, the feast will begin with a hundred tables, and the newlyweds may enter their chambers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lively mass wedding lasted three full days; each household gained one new member, and perhaps more in the future. Everyone felt their burdens grow heavier, so each resolved inwardly to strive with all their might—to become someone capable of shouldering the weight of their family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this situation, Nie Huaishang joked in class: “It’s true—women are the best teachers for men. In just one night, five hundred clumsy, rowdy boys have turned into responsible men.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-20T13:48:22.834Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","107c7975d34b524fc8e8226abdd8fc8c34631109111cfafdff8a8d1859153fa8","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-80","from-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-chapter-78",205,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffrom-special-forces-to-the-multiverse-cover.jpg"]
