Chapter 165: The Wedding Ends

【Fan Xian: Talismans?】

【Xiang Yunye: That’s right!】

【Xiang Yunye: Ever since the Tongtian Lu was transmitted, I’ve been studying it.】

【Xiang Yunye: But unfortunately, I have no talent for drawing talismans. I’m far more comfortable carving jade, metal, and similar materials than painting on paper.】

【Xiang Yunye: Once I realized this, I shifted my approach and began experimenting with carving talismans onto gold and jade.】

【Xiang Yunye: This bracelet is one of my experimental works—it’s engraved with three talismans: Dust-Repelling, Water-Repelling, and Spirit-Aggregating. Its effects should match those of a magical artifact from He Jing’s world…】

【Su Haoming: Amazing!】

【Su Haoming: You guys don’t have some other skill I don’t know about, do you?】

【He Jing: Not at all.】

【He Jing: Not everyone is as secretly obsessive as Old Yun, studying talismans without telling us.】

【Xiang Yunye: Who said that?!】

【Xiang Yunye: I already asked Brother Lin for advice!】

【Lin Yu: True.】

【Lin Yu: I even named his creations.】

【Su Haoming: What’s it called?】

【Lin Yu: Talisman Artifacts.】

【Fan Xian: That’s a great name!】

While the group members chatted in the group, they weren’t idle in reality.

He Jing followed Xiang Yunye forward, took out a delicate hairpin and a jade longevity lock pendant, and handed them to Lin Waner.

According to him, both were high-end protective artifacts crafted for him, capable of detecting energy surges and activating a protective qi shield.

The hairpin was his gift to the bride, Lin Waner; the longevity lock was a pre-gift, meant for her future sons and daughters.

Upon hearing this, Lin Waner’s face flushed crimson with embarrassment.

But she clearly blushed too soon, for Lin Lie’s gift was even more direct.

Lin Lie came from the Marvel world and was a descendant of the Three Sovereigns, a system protagonist—naturally, he possessed many valuable items.

But most of them could only be used by him alone. To meet the requirements of a wedding gift, he specifically returned to the East and asked the matriarch of the Nüwa clan for a treasure.

He pulled out a jade vial with a mysterious air and whispered to the newlyweds: “This is called the Dragon Phoenix Pill—it contains one Dragon Pill and one Phoenix Pill. Take them separately before consummation: they ensure instant conception and enhance the quality of the act, improving the child’s innate potential!”

“Ah?”

Lin Waner gasped, her face burning red.

Fan Xian’s eyes lit up immediately. “Really?”

Lin Lie nodded firmly, whispering back: “The Nüwa clan has used this to ensure each generation produces geniuses capable of wielding the Three Sovereigns’ divine artifacts…”

“Good brother!”

Fan Xian bowed deeply in respect, solemnly thanked him, and carefully accepted the pills.

Although Lin Lie spoke in a low voice, everyone present had extraordinary hearing and clearly heard their conversation.

Su Haoming glanced at Lin Lie in disbelief, then flipped his right hand and produced a shimmering silk fabric, tossing it toward Lin Waner.

Instantly, the silk unfurled midair, landed on Lin Waner, and burst into radiant light, transforming into a white wedding dress that clung tightly to her body.

Seeing this, Lin Waner was first startled, then her eyes brightened, and she couldn’t help but reach out to touch the white dress.

Fan Xian was also surprised and immediately asked: “What is this?”

Su Haoming smiled: “This is a treasure I got from a friend—it can change size at will and transform according to your will!”

A certain friend…

Not Brother Lin?

Xiang Yunye and the others exchanged glances, glancing toward Lin Yu.

Lin Yu shook his head slightly and replied in the group: “This was invented by some immortal clan member too lazy to change clothes. It can alter its appearance at will, but its defensive power is still equal to that of ordinary fabric.”

“I plan to collect it into the Strange Treasures Pavilion only after he improves enough to replace the fabric with metal.”

“I didn’t expect Little Su became friends with him and even got a piece of magical silk…”

【Su Haoming: Hehe, Brother Lin, don’t you think this thing is incredibly convenient?】

【Su Haoming: As for defense, I’ve got my spell-based wind membrane anyway—armor defense doesn’t matter to me.】

Indeed, Lin Yu didn’t care about this magical silk because he possessed many similar abilities.

If he wished, he could reshape matter or conjure illusions at will—no equipment needed.

But for group members, this magical silk was still very convenient, especially when traveling across countless worlds—allowing them to switch between ancient and modern attire on the fly, without prior preparation.

To Lin Waner, this shape-shifting garment was unquestionably a legendary immortal robe.

Its value far surpassed all previous gifts.

She fondled the dress with delight, then pulled Fan Xian to his feet and solemnly thanked Su Haoming.

“Thank you, Elder Brother, for this precious gift!”

“No problem, no problem!”

Su Haoming smiled and stepped back, turning toward Lin Yu.

The other group members did the same, all fixing their gazes on him.

Meeting their stares, Lin Yu sighed: “With all these thoughtful gifts, mine seems inadequate…”

He extended his right hand, silver light blooming in his palm—he summoned a scroll and smiled: “As for a wedding gift, I have no original ideas either—only things like cars and houses come to mind.”

“But ordinary cars and houses wouldn’t impress you.”

“This scroll was created with dimensional magic—it contains a small world roughly a kilometer in diameter. Consider it your personal dwelling—I give it to you as your wedding home!”

A personal dwelling?

A fantastic gift!

Fan Xian’s heart leapt with joy; he quickly took the scroll and, with Lin Waner, bowed deeply to Lin Yu in thanks.

The other group members also brightened, immediately asking in the group.

【Lin Yu: Don’t rush—this kind of thing will be listed in the group store eventually. You’ll all be able to buy it.】

That’s excellent!

Group members all wore delighted expressions.

Li Shimin was also deeply tempted—he imagined how many soldiers could fit in a kilometer-wide world!

If he brought this to Chang’an, wouldn’t he be able to summon divine troops and strike straight at the enemy’s heart?

All group members felt this way—Lin Waner even more so.

Her worldview had already been shaken by the first gift.

Now she felt as if in a dream, dazed and confused—only when receiving the immortal dress had she been fully awake; otherwise, she was lost in one shock after another.

Fan Xian, having accepted all gifts, said solemnly: “Brothers, you traveled countless miles to attend my wedding—I am deeply grateful.”

“If you’ll permit, please stay at the Fan residence for now. Tomorrow morning, we’ll continue today’s festivities!”

The group members understood—they knew the newlyweds wanted privacy. They smiled, teased a few remarks, and gradually left Fan Xian’s wedding chamber.

Finally alone, Fan Xian took a deep breath and gazed intently at Waner.

Lin Waner’s face flushed slightly, yet she held his gaze, suppressing her shyness.

Seeing this, Fan Xian’s heart stirred. Gently, he said: “Tonight, I’ve revealed my greatest secret to you. From now on, we are one—never to be parted.”

“Mm.”

“Remember these gifts—they’ll all need to be repaid someday.”

“Mm.”

“Anything else you want to say?”

“...What do you want to hear?”

Fan Xian chuckled, then lifted his bride in her startled cry and carried her toward the scroll beside the bed…

Joking—he knew Su Haoming and Xiang Yunye were still in the Fan residence. How could he give these troublemakers a chance to spy?

He needed a safer place—and he wanted to see what Lin Yu had given him as a wedding home.

As for whether Lin Yu himself would peek, Fan Xian didn’t care.

Their power levels were worlds apart—even if he tried to block it, he couldn’t.

Fortunately, Lin Yu wasn’t that kind of person. He cared more about the upcoming milestone task than pranking the newlyweds.

…

…

The next morning, Fan Xian appeared before the group members with his new wife, waved his hand, and declared the Fan residence closed to guests—he intended to drink with his brothers until they were all drunk.

During the feast, they clinked cups, laughed, and chatted.

Lin Lie whispered: “Where’s the Dragon Phoenix Pill?”

Fan Xian whispered back: “Still here. I didn’t plan to have a child yet, so I didn’t use it last night…”

Lin Lie sighed: “Really? Too bad—I thought you’d be the first group member to have a child!”

Fan Xian smiled: “Forget me—how far have you and Shuangshuang gotten?”

Lin Lie blushed and shook his head: “I’m a modern man—I’m in no hurry.”

He quickly changed the subject: “Yesterday I heard Wang Qinian say you’re moving out of the Fan residence?”

Fan Xian nodded: “Correct. I’m moving to my own mansion.”

Xiang Yunye mused, “Wan’er is a princess; technically, as her prince consort, you’re supposed to move into her palace, aren’t you?”

Lin Waner hurriedly said, “That’s not true!”

Fan Xian’s face darkened, and he snapped, “Just eat your food!”

After a noisy, boisterous banquet, the afternoon arrived quickly.

At this point, the group’s daily activity points had reset to zero; Fan Xian persuaded Lin Waner to go to the back courtyard to visit his father, Fan Jian, while he and the group members stepped into the painted cave.

Lin Yu’s gaze swept over the group: “Ready?”

The group members nodded one after another, uploading the documents they had prepared in advance to claim their daily activity points…
