274. Chapter 274: The Wedding with Natasha

Aoweide had thought that this was all there was to his life; that when the day came for him to grow completely old, he would end up abandoned by everyone. He never imagined he would be able to find his granddaughter again, and even see her get married.

He could now die without regrets.

"Let me help. I can contribute, and I can decorate the venue while I'm at it."

Lv Luo stood up immediately to help.

"I can help too. I can handle some of the issues regarding the ceremony."

Luo Shen also said hurriedly.

"If there is any place you need me, I will certainly do my best."

Yi Zhuyue pursed her lips and also stood up.

"Then I will join you all. Although I don't have hands, I can help watch over how the decorations are coming along."

Seeing that everyone had found a task, Xiaoxian was so anxious that she flew back and forth, struggling for a long time before finally squeezing out these words.

"Good, good, good, then I will trouble you all."

Seeing this, Aoweide could not help but laugh.

He was very happy in his heart. The friends Natasha had made were all very good; even if he were no longer around in the future, having these people by her side meant she would have someone to look after her.

The group busied themselves for a day, and a makeshift wedding venue was prepared.

This was Su Chen's first time marrying into the Mermaid Race, and he felt a bit nervous for a moment.

According to the customs of the Mermaid Race, they had to come together before the statue of the Mermaid Goddess under the witness of many mermaids to pray for blessings and receive the goddess's grace.

They would then perform the Mating Dance in the water, signifying their union in marriage.

Following that would be the procreation of offspring in the evening.

It was the instinct of a Spirit Beast to consider the procreation of offspring a major event, and they would mate on a Pearl Bed underwater.

However, because Su Chen was human, the dance was adapted into something humans could participate in. The tradition of the Pearl Bed could not be changed, so Aoweide waved his hand and had the Pearl Bed moved onto land.

Even though the Mermaid Race was no longer prosperous, the bloodline inheritance of tens of millions of years had left behind many rare treasures and traditions. For a moment, the entire mermaid cave was filled with joy.

Early in the morning, Su Chen was urged by the Mermaid Race to put on his exclusive groom's attire.

Unlike a human groom's attire, Su Chen's outfit was light blue all over, with cuffs and buttons made of pearls. The hem of the garment was embroidered with the mark of the water tribe, featuring rippling ocean waves in an exquisite and beautiful pattern.

"Master, Lv Luo is here to pick you up."

Lv Luo was dressed in light green clothing, her dark, shiny hair woven with grass knots. She wore a flower wreath on her head and pearl earrings, making her look playful and cute.

Seeing Su Chen's appearance, her eyes lit up. She hadn't expected her master to look so dashing and handsome in this outfit, completely different from the slightly lazy air he had before.

At the same time, she felt a little sigh in her heart; if only she were the one marrying her master, it would surely be beautiful when the time came.

But now was not the time to be willful. Natasha's clansmen held high hopes for them, and such things could not be compared.

Thinking of this, Lv Luo shook her head and led Su Chen slowly toward the venue.

Along the way, many mermaids were watching from the sides. As soon as they saw Su Chen coming, they clapped excitedly. There were men, women, old, and young among them, all wearing simple clothes. Although not very magnificent, it was clear they had been very earnest.

After all, the Mermaid Race were also Spirit Beasts, and they had never placed much importance on clothing. Now, to show respect to Su Chen, they had all put on human attire.

Aoweide stood under the Mermaid Goddess statue, wearing the exclusive attire of the Mermaid Race. Countless pearl curtains hung from it, inlaid with various crystal-clear gemstones. The emblem of the Mermaid Race was on his chest, looking exquisite and magnificent. The clothes were very new, but because they had been preserved for many years, they had faded somewhat; it was clear the owner cherished them very much.

Aoweide looked at Su Chen approaching with a face full of smiles.

Immediately after, Natasha walked over, supported by Yi Zhuyue and Luo Shen.

The moment she appeared, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

The Mermaid Race had always been beautiful, and Natasha was the best among them.

Her golden-chestnut curly hair was dotted with pearls, shining brightly like the sun. Her sea-colored eyes contained the vastness of the ocean, carrying the vitality of the sea. Her long, curled eyelashes trembled lightly due to nervousness.

Her high nose bridge and fair face were adorned with pearl decorations, and one eye was painted with the exclusive pattern of the Mermaid Race, adding a touch of charm. She looked like a goddess who had fallen from the sky to the human world, sacred and beautiful.

She wore a sea-blue gown with golden silk craftsmanship depicting ocean waves, with milky white threads mixed in. Countless pearls covered almost the entire skirt, and scattered shells and starfish were painted on it, looking vivid and lifelike.

Su Chen's Adam's apple bobbed as he suddenly thought of a term: the darling of the ocean.

Natasha gradually adapted to walking, but she moved very slowly. She walked all the way to Su Chen before he suddenly snapped back to reality.

Aoweide took Natasha's hand, his eyes brimming with tears. He seemed to see his lover from his youth, who had also walked toward him with a shy face during their own wedding half a lifetime ago.

At that moment, time seemed to have stopped, and everything in the world disappeared, leaving only his one true love before his eyes.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of years had passed, and it was now the turn of their descendants.

Other mermaids who saw this scene could not help but shed tears.

Ever since that devil came, there had been few new births in the Mermaid Race, and it was rare to see a wedding held in such peace.

They were reminiscing about the peaceful Mermaid Race of the past.

"Natasha, are you willing to become partners with Su Chen, from this day forward to be loyal to each other, never to abandon each other, to share honor and disgrace, to share blessings and hardships together?"

Aoweide's voice was unusually hoarse, faintly carrying a hint of excitement.

"I am willing."

Natasha looked at Su Chen with deep affection, her voice melodious, like the sound of the sea.

"Su Chen, are you willing to become partners with Natasha, from this day forward, to be loyal to each other, never to abandon each other, to share honor and disgrace, to share blessings and hardships together?"

Aoweide cast his gaze toward Su Chen again.

"I am willing."

Su Chen looked at Natasha firmly.

"Today, under the witness of the Goddess, I declare Natasha and Su Chen to be partners. From this day forward, you are each other's closest kin, your love will never end, and you shall be inseparable in life and death."

Su Chen and Natasha both knelt before the goddess statue and closed their eyes piously.

The statue of the goddess seemed to smile. Soft sunlight shone on the lovers, and the air carried the scent of the sea, filled with tranquility and beauty.

The other mermaids could not help but sing the Blessing Ballad of the Mermaid Race, symbolizing the passing of their blessings and good luck to the newlyweds.

Lv Luo and the others looked at the scene before them, their hearts filled with many emotions.

They watched the scene before them quietly, wearing smiles, though they felt somewhat uncomfortable in their hearts. (End of this chapter)
