Chapter 450: Only regretting that a hundred years is too short for a single moment of your life

~7 min read 1,215 words

The four words "treasure like a precious jewel" made Hu Tao's heart race, and she was overcome with joy.

As if she couldn't believe it, and as if she wanted to verify it, she turned her head to look at Zhongli and asked: "Great Consultant, did you hear that?"

Zhongli nodded with a smile in his eyes: "I heard it. Mr. Gu Chen said he treasures the Hall Master like a precious jewel."

"Hee hee!"

Hu Tao was overjoyed, a brilliant smile blooming on her face.

Gu Chen looked at Zhongli and asked: "What date is suitable for marriage?"

Marriage, for Hu Tao, was a word she didn't like.

But now, Hu Tao was looking forward to it. However, not knowing what she thought of, Hu Tao waved her hand: "Marriage isn't necessary; it's too much trouble. Just letting a few good friends know is enough!"

"Why?" Gu Chen was puzzled.

Zhongli sighed lightly and said: "Hall Master, you only have this one life..."

"This Hall Master has already decided!" Hu Tao waved her hand.

Gu Chen shook his head: "I disagree. Hall Master, you are wronging yourself by doing this."

"But..." Hu Tao wanted to say something else, but Gu Chen said: "You are already nearing thirty. If this matter isn't announced widely, others will laugh at you."

"I don't care anyway," Hu Tao muttered.

"Listen to Mr. Gu Chen on this matter," Zhongli said.

Seeing the two consultants take such a stance, Hu Tao could only agree: "Alright then."

【Kirara】: Eh? Hall Master Hu actually doesn't want to hold a wedding?!

【Collei】: Miss Hu Tao's thinking is so strange!

【Nilou】: Miss Hu Tao knows that Mr. Gu Chen can live for a very, very long time. She can't accompany Mr. Gu Chen for too much time, so she wants to save Mr. Gu Chen's first wedding for a girl who can accompany him through immortality!

【Lumine】: Hu Tao's thinking... she is wronging herself because of her own short lifespan. (Paimon: Surprised)

【Paimon】: It's a good thing Gu Boss has a firm will. How could he possibly not give Hu Tao a grand wedding? After all, he watched Hu Tao grow up and treasures her like a precious jewel. If Hu Tao really wronged herself, he would feel heartache too!

【Lisa】: Finally getting married.

【Klee】: Yay! (Klee: Yay)

【Collei】: Yay! (Klee: Yay)

【Azhdaha】: Such a joyous occasion calls for a couple of drinks.

【Kaeya】: Family, although I'm just watching the video, it's equivalent to me participating in the wedding in a moment, right? I count as a guest, right? Let's have a drink to celebrate! (Photo of Death After Noon)

【Diona sent a group red packet】

【Zhongli grabbed a glass of wine】

【Arataki Itto grabbed a glass of wine】

【Hu Tao grabbed a glass of wine】

【Hu Tao】: Didn't expect it, didn't expect it. To think there would be a day I could be a spectator and drink my own wedding wine. (Paimon: Surprised)

【Wriothesley】: Thank you, Miss Diona.

【Xiangling】: Just be happy secretly. In previous videos, there weren't any girls who married Mr. Gu Chen. (Hu Tao: Smirk)

【Yae Miko】: Now that you mention it, that's true. Hu Tao is the first girl in the videos to marry her brother-in-law. (Raiden Ei: Chuckle)

【Hu Tao】: Oh my? Looking at it this way, this Hall Master is quite liked by Gu Chen! (Hu Tao: Greeting)

【Lumine】: When are you holding the wedding for us? @【Gu Chen】

【Yae Miko】: The brother-in-law's harem is about to catch fire. (Yae Miko: Smirk)

【Venti】: Fight! Fight!

【Dvalin】: (Qiqi: Secretly observing)

【Gu Chen】: About this matter, it's not urgent, right? It's not that we aren't holding it, it's just that, this matter, it's not urgent, right?

【Kaeya】: Sect Leader, are you just stalling here?

【Furina】: Perfunctory man, I suggest the death penalty! (Furina: Happy)

【Venti】: I can probably understand the Sect Leader's thinking. Currently, it's already the seventh issue. Who knows how many more issues there will be in the future. I think the Sect Leader might hold an incomparably grand wedding for the Sect Leader's wives when this video series ends.

【Gu Chen】: Little brother, you still understand me! (Zhongli: Dragon King crooked mouth)

【Lumine】: How many more are there after this? (Bald head)

【Guizhong】: Hard to say. (Jean: Contemplating)

【Ganyu】: (Dizzy)

【Raiden Ei】: (Sharpening blade)

According to Gu Chen's arrangements, Hu Tao notified her good friends, as well as some people who weren't relatives but were elders.

Learning that Hu Tao was getting married, Xingqiu and the others were very surprised.

"It's actually Mr. Gu Chen?" Xiangling was very surprised.

"That's right!" Hu Tao nodded, put her hands on her hips and said: "This Hall Master is amazing, right? I took down the Second Consultant so easily~"

"Amazing, amazing." Chongyun clapped, then continued: "But you two..."

Just as he was about to blurt it out, he was glared at by Xingqiu, and Chongyun immediately shut his mouth.

"I know what you want to say, it doesn't matter." Hu Tao waved her hand.

The fact that Gu Chen didn't age was known even to the neighbors; Gu Chen had never covered this up.

The most common speculation was that Gu Chen was some kind of immortal. Neither Hu Tao nor Gu Chen had ever gone to explain it.

Now hearing that Hu Tao was going to marry Gu Chen, her friends had complex feelings.

They knew to some extent the reason why Hu Tao hadn't married yet; they didn't expect it was because she had always liked her own consultant.

This way, it wasn't hard to understand.

But thinking of Hu Tao and Gu Chen's future, it was hard not to feel worried.

"Since it's your own choice, we won't ask too much. In any case, we wish you well." Xingqiu cupped his hands.

"By the way, did you invite me here to drink wedding wine, or to take charge of the cooking?" Xiangling asked.

"Of course, it's to invite you to take charge of the cooking and drink wedding wine by the way!" Hu Tao said as a matter of course.

Xiangling rolled her eyes: "I knew it!"

The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor became busy.

The Wangsheng Funeral Parlor was usually very quiet, but now it became unexpectedly lively.

Days passed one by one, and soon it was the day of the wedding.

Gu Chen changed out of that black outfit and wore clothes of a festive color.

Hu Tao was the same, with a red bridal veil covering her head, making her face invisible.

Zhongli served as the host.

Friends and relatives gathered together to join in the fun.

"First bow to heaven and earth."

"Second bow to the high hall."

Hu Tao no longer had any relatives, but the spirit tablets of the old Hall Master, Ah Sen, and Ah Xiu were here, and some funeral parlor staff who watched Hu Tao grow up represented Hu Tao's elders.

As for Gu Chen, he had no father or mother; the old Hall Master counted as his relative.

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

Gu Chen and Hu Tao bowed to each other.

"Hee hee, Second Consultant, this time you are completely this Hall Master's person!"

Hu Tao's playful voice came from under the red bridal veil.
