Chapter 314: I Am Willing to Marry Master

~7 min read 1,348 words

Su Chen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth; wasn't this all happening a bit too fast?

But the Second Elder's eyes were sparkling with intense fanaticism, not feeling that anything was amiss at all; one had to know that they hadn't had a joyous occasion in several hundred years.

Today, they had not only found the future King of the Dragon Race but also their former master; today was a very commemorative day, and now having the two of them marry was simply joy upon joy.

"The main thing is that we must also ask for Xiaoxian's opinion; I cannot force my own thoughts upon her."

Su Chen couldn't help but look at the silent Xiaoxian beside him.

Previously, he had only ever seen her in her dragon form; now that she had suddenly become a slender young woman, it naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath as before.

Now, Su Chen actually felt a bit embarrassed himself.

The several Elders heard this and also felt it made sense; in their hearts, they felt Xiaoxian should marry Su Chen, but they hadn't asked for Xiaoxian's opinion.

Thinking of this, Ao Fang was the first who couldn't help but nod: "As expected of Master, thinking so thoroughly; we neglected the King's feelings."

"That's right, it is us old fellows who were too impatient."

Ao Meng also chimed in, a look of slight regret on his face.

Xiaoxian had originally been in a state of mental shutdown, but at the thought of marrying Master, her little face turned flushed, like an alluring peach.

After coming to her senses, she heard these words.

She didn't know why, but the moment she heard she could marry Master, she felt extremely happy in her heart.

The Great Elder could be considered the one who saw things most clearly among them; he could naturally tell that Xiaoxian had feelings for Su Chen, only she herself didn't know it.

Thinking of this, he decided to add fuel to the fire.

He let out a long sigh, gave Xiaoxian a meaningful look, and then continued: "Then perhaps this matter should be shelved for the time being... otherwise..."

Seeing that they didn't intend to continue this topic, Xiaoxian felt a bit anxious in her heart.

Having already tasted the sweet fruit, now that she was being asked to hand this delicious fruit over to someone else, how could she feel at ease with such a huge sense of loss?

She was also someone who couldn't keep her cool, and she immediately interrupted the Great Elder.

"No, no, no."

After saying this, Xiaoxian regretted it.

Why was she so impatient? What if this made Master think she was a very casual female dragon? "What is it? King, do you have any other opinions? We didn't respect your opinion just now, but this time we will definitely fully consider your thoughts."

Ao Hong looked at Xiaoxian with a serious face, as if he would go through fire and water if she just said the word.

Xiaoxian was undoubtedly being roasted on a spit now; she took a deep breath, only feeling that the breath was stuck in her chest, neither going up nor down.

Finally, her face flushed red, she closed her eyes, and shouted with a sense of resignation: "I am willing to marry Master!"

Once these words were out, everyone fell silent, and even Su Chen was somewhat stunned.

"Xiaoxian, you must think this over carefully. Marriage is not child's play. I brought you out of the Desolate Ancient Secret Realm, and you might have some reliance on me, but this is not true love."

Su Chen couldn't help but console her.

Although he didn't claim to be a man of perfect virtue, he absolutely could not do something like tricking or deceiving a young dragon.

Once these words were spoken, Xiaoxian felt even more that she had chosen the right person. She looked at Su Chen very seriously and said solemnly: "No, my liking for you is absolutely not the reliance of a cub on its mother. I truly like you; I will worry for Master, and I will... miss Master."

By the time she finished, her voice grew smaller and smaller.

Where on earth did she get such great courage to confess her feelings in front of so many people? Just thinking about it made her feel so ashamed.

"Sister Luo Shen, I'm so moved."

Lv Luo looked at Xiaoxian with teary eyes, feeling that she was truly brave, even though the object of her affection was her own master.

But she also knew that her master would absolutely not belong only to her; if it had to be someone, she would rather it be Xiaoxian.

A slight smile appeared on Luo Shen's face, and she felt a bit jealous in her heart; now it was Xiaoxian's turn, and she didn't know when it would be her turn.

But she was also happy for Xiaoxian in her heart.

Natasha and Yi Zhuyue watched this scene quietly; to say they felt comfortable in their hearts would be a lie, but they hoped even more for Su Chen to be happy.

"Good, good, good! Since that is the case, then prepare for the bridal chamber tonight!"

The Great Elder couldn't help but laugh out loud, his face glowing, and he even gave Su Chen a very teasing look.

The meaning seemed to be saying, it's all thanks to me for bringing the two of you together.

Su Chen smiled embarrassedly.

The Dragon Race's wedding ceremony was very simple; although they had hundreds of thousands of years of heritage, they had long since done away with those complicated rules.

Coupled with the massacre the Dragon Race had just experienced, it wasn't appropriate to hold a grand and extravagant event that was too burdensome.

After thinking it over, the group decided to re-enter the Dragon Race Altar to lay the souls of the martyrs to rest, and incidentally have the Divine Dragon serve as a witness to their union as husband and wife; that would count as the ceremony being completed.

After receiving the Inheritance Memory, Xiaoxian was clearly more mature and steady than before, no longer the naive and gluttonous little girl she once was.

But the gluttonous part hadn't changed, only it was much more restrained.

Xiaoxian was currently dressed in a bright red wedding gown, the waist adorned with countless tiny Night Pearls, emitting a faint fluorescence even in the daytime; the hem of the skirt featured gold-stamped dragon patterns, and the high-collared garment left her snow-white collarbones faintly visible.

The skirt was not long, reaching just to her calves, and her two slender, fair legs were faintly visible, beautiful as if not of this world.

Xiaoxian's face was also adorned with pearls by Luo Shen and Natasha, with a golden dragon mark between her brows, making her entire face shine brilliantly; with red lips and white teeth, and a bit of baby fat on her cheeks, she looked charming and cute.

"We are getting married tonight, so you cannot eat anything before then, otherwise your makeup will smudge."

Luo Shen warned her worriedly. Xiaoxian felt completely uncomfortable, feeling like a doll being manipulated by others, but at the thought of what was about to happen, she didn't even need to apply rouge for a blush to appear on her face.

"I... I know."

Xiaoxian said stutteringly.

Time flew by to the afternoon, and Su Chen appeared, dressed in a bright red robe, the same color scheme as Xiaoxian's, looking ethereal and adding a touch of nobility.

His expression was very solemn, as if he too felt nervous about what was to come.

As soon as Xiaoxian saw Su Chen, she subconsciously wanted to hop over to him, but was stopped by Luo Shen and Lv Luo beside her.

Suddenly realizing she was currently getting married, she immediately stiffened her body, took small steps to Su Chen's side, linked her arm through his, and gave a sweet smile.
