After resolving the matter with Wu Ta, Liu Guanfeng's affairs in the Starfall Kingdom also came to a conclusion. His personal vendetta ended with the fall of the Huaxing Kingdom.
His two greatest enemies received their due retribution; Yelü Chuxing lost his throne and became an ordinary citizen, while the other enemy, Sun Yong, was executed.
With some free time on his hands, Liu Guanfeng began preparing for his wedding, as he had promised his mother, and both girls had been waiting for him for too long.
To surprise the two girls, Liu Guanfeng decided to personally arrange everything in the new house. He spent two full weeks at his residence until he was satisfied with the results.
After two weeks of meticulous decoration, the entire residence looked brand new. During this time, Liu Guanfeng asked Li Xiaohan to go home and bring her parents back. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce funded the purchase of a property for Li Xiaohan's parents.
Initially, Li Xiaohan's parents were quite angry about their daughter's earlier stubbornness. However, once they learned about Liu Guanfeng's current achievements, all resentment faded away. The gap between father and daughter disappeared as well.
To be fair, Liu Guanfeng also purchased a property for Zhang Yuru's father in the new Rain City, adjacent to Li Xiaohan's parents' house. The two estates were nearly identical in size, but Zhang Yuru's father was still on the forgotten continent managed by the Supreme Deity, so the entire estate was entrusted to a steward.
After two weeks of busy preparations, Liu Guanfeng needed to discuss the wedding schedule with his parents. When he stepped out of his courtyard, he was taken aback by what he saw; the entire street was filled with joy, with red banners hanging in front of every home and red or gold wedding characters pasted on doors and windows.
Liu Guanfeng looked around in confusion and asked Chongkuo beside him, "Chongkuo, is there a big festival? Why is the whole city decorated like this?"
"Master, you don't know? This is all His Majesty's idea. The only significant festival is your upcoming wedding; whenever you get married will be considered a festival."
Liu Guanfeng shook his head helplessly and said, "This is too much."
When Liu Guanfeng arrived at his father's official residence, it was also festively decorated, filled with a joyful atmosphere.
He called his mother, father, and two brothers into the study to discuss the specific timing of his wedding and related matters.
After all, Liu Guanfeng was marrying two wives at once, and one of them, Zhang Yuru's father, was not present. In the end, Liu Yong'an decided to have Old Chancellor Cui Jinchong temporarily stand in for Zhang Yuru's father. They also set the wedding date for three days later.
Liu Guanfeng returned to his official residence, and Liu Yong'an along with Nangong Rong brought Zhang Yuru to the Old Chancellor's estate. After explaining their intentions, Cui Jinchong smiled at Zhang Yuru and said, "Child, since I am willing to take the place of your father, would you be willing to become my adopted daughter?"
Cui Jinchong's prestige in the Starfall Kingdom was unmatched, so whether it was Sun Yong or Sun Liang, the first thing they wanted to do after becoming king was to win over Cui Jinchong. As long as Cui Jinchong agreed, everything else would be easy.
After Cui Jinchong expressed his desire to adopt Zhang Yuru as his daughter, Zhang Yuru was very happy and immediately knelt down, calling out, "Father, I bow to you."
Cui Jinchong was naturally delighted to have such an adopted daughter. "Good, good, my daughter, please rise quickly."
Then Cui Jinchong took out a jade pendant from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Yuru. "Daughter, this is the emblem of our Cui Residence. Besides you, only your two brothers have one. You must treasure it well; consider it a gift from your father."
"Thank you, Father," she replied.
Liu Yong'an stood up and said, "Congratulations, Chancellor, on gaining a wonderful adopted daughter."
"Not at all; didn't you also marry a good wife?"
"From now on, we are all one family."
"Yuru, in three days you will be getting married. Let the bridal sedan come here to pick you up then. I will have someone prepare a room for you as your bridal chamber."
"Thank you, Father."
"Old Chancellor, since Yuru will be staying with you for now, my wife and I will return home. We will come back in three days for the wedding."
After resolving matters regarding Zhang Yuru, Liu Yong'an and his wife were very satisfied. Not only had the Old Chancellor agreed to become Yuru's elder, but he had also adopted her as his daughter. This brought their families even closer together.
Upon returning home, Liu Guanfeng felt that something was missing from his wedding. He began to recall every step modern people take when getting married and finally realized that there were no rings at his wedding.
So he went straight into the forge. In the Knight's Great Land, rings did not exist; their jewelry consisted only of necklaces, brooches, hairpins, and other items.
Before entering the forge, Liu Guanfeng specifically instructed Chongkuo and the other eight that he would come out on the wedding day, and for these three days, no one was to be received.
Chongkuo and the others did not know what Liu Guanfeng was doing inside, but they heard the continuous clanging sounds from the forge until the early morning of the day before the wedding.
The next morning, Liu Guanfeng emerged from the forge carrying three boxes. Although he had spent three whole days forging the items inside, he still looked radiant.
The first thing he did upon coming out was to take a bath. After the servants prepared the bathing water, Liu Guanfeng enjoyed a comfortable wash. After a quick bite to eat, he made his way to the front gate.
At this time, Liu Yong'an and Nangong Rong were already standing at the entrance. Upon seeing Liu Guanfeng, Nangong Rong nodded repeatedly, saying, "No matter how you look at it, my son is the most handsome."
"Mother, I’m giving these two boxes to you. Please present them as gifts when you meet them."
"What are these?" Nangong Rong asked as she took the boxes.
"You'll know once you open them," Liu Guanfeng replied.
When Nangong Rong opened the boxes, her mouth dropped in surprise. "How exquisite! What are these?"
"Mother, these are called crowns; they are worn on a girl's head. I have embedded a core from a Ninth-Stage Beast in each crown."
"Such beautiful items! Why don’t you present them personally?"
"I have more gifts to give." He then waved the small box in his hand.
In the distance, the sound of drums and gongs gradually approached. Two flower palanquins advanced side by side and came to a stop in front of the gate. Liu Guanfeng walked between the two palanquins and lifted the curtains simultaneously. The faces of the two brides immediately appeared before everyone.
As the two brides slowly descended from their palanquins, a chorus of gasps filled the air: "Wow~!"
Both were wearing wedding dresses designed by Liu Guanfeng. People often say that women look their most beautiful in wedding dresses, especially since both were already stunning beauties.
Under the backdrop of wedding dresses, the two women resembled the moon goddess Chang'e, stunning everyone. The two ladies approached Nangong Rong and Liu Yong'an, gracefully bowing, "Greetings, Eunuch, Mother."
"Good, good, good," Liu Yong'an said with a smile, repeating the word three times. Nangong Rong took the opportunity to present the two crowns that Liu Guanfeng had prepared to the two girls.
"This is a gift for you; see if you like it?"
The two girls opened the boxes and were immediately captivated by the crowns inside. The design of the crowns was inspired by Liu Guanfeng's crown from the Miss Hong Kong Pageant, featuring a duck egg-sized core in the center.
Zhang Yuru, who possessed Water Attribute, had a crown with a core that shimmered with ocean blue light. Li Xiaohan, with Wood Attribute, had a crown whose core emitted a light green glow. Paired with the milky white raw stone crown body, both crowns appeared exceptionally exquisite.
Nangong Rong took the crowns from their boxes and placed them on the girls' heads. Instantly, the two girls looked incredibly noble adorned with the crowns.
Liu Guanfeng walked over to the two girls, taking their hands and leading them into the house. Upon entering the grand hall, they found it filled with guests crowding around.
The three of them slowly walked into the hall where Liu Yong'an, Nangong Rong, Cui Zhongyi, and Li Xiaohan's parents were all seated at the high table. The three newcomers approached their parents to pay their respects.
After completing their greetings, Liu Guanfeng had someone bring out a jade box he had prepared. He opened it to reveal three rings inside; two of them were set with diamonds while one featured a green jade stone.
Liu Guanfeng took out the two rings and placed them on the ring fingers of both girls' right hands. Li Xiaohan imitated Liu Guanfeng's actions and took out the remaining ring from the box, handing it to Zhang Yuru. Zhang Yuru accepted it while Liu Guanfeng extended his left hand, allowing Zhang Yuru to place the ring on his ring finger.
Li Xiaohan couldn't help but ask, "Husband, what is this little iron ring called?"
Liu Guanfeng smiled slightly, "This little thing is called a ring. Wearing a ring signifies that one is married; it represents eternal love. Do you both like my rings?"
"We like them very much. As long as they are gifts from you, Husband, we love everything," Zhang Yuru replied.
Next came the banquet. After Liu Guanfeng escorted both girls back to their room, he returned to the front courtyard. By this time, a grand feast was underway in the courtyard with sounds of toasting echoing throughout.
Especially Copper Bull and others immediately grabbed Liu Guanfeng upon his return, insisting on having a hearty drink with him.
Liu Guanfeng smiled and said, "You two stay here and wait for me. I'll go toast the Emperor and then come back to find you."
Liu Guanfeng first arrived at the living room in front of Sun Liang's table and offered a toast. After that, he went around toasting everyone. Once he had toasted all the tables, Liu Guanfeng approached the table of Copper Bull and his companions, who were his closest friends: Copper Bull, Iron Bull, Song Haitao, Platinum Wen, Dai, Eastern Star, Liu Hong, Song Qun, and even Bao Rui set aside his royal demeanor to sit at this table.
While drinking, Liu Guanfeng was protected by Fighting Qi, making the others no match for him. He originally did not want to use Fighting Qi, but he had no choice; if he let these people hold him up, the wedding night would have to wait until tomorrow.
At the banquet table, Liu Guanfeng wasted no time and directly asked for large bowls. The three who could drink the most at the table were Song Qun, Copper Bull, and Iron Bull, and they were also the first to fall.
The entire banquet continued drinking until late at night, finally concluding when Bao Rui was the last to collapse.
Although Liu Guanfeng was protected by Fighting Qi, he was already feeling tipsy. When he arrived in the inner courtyard, he began to hesitate, looking left and right in the middle of the yard. Unsure of which way to go, two doors opened simultaneously, and Li Xiaohan and Zhang Yuru walked out of their rooms together.
Li Xiaohan smiled at Zhang Yuru and said, "Sister, let him accompany you tonight."
Zhang Yuru shook her head and replied, "If we're talking about serving someone, you're the most experienced sister. Now that he's drunk so much, I won't be able to serve him. You'll have to take care of him tonight."
After saying that, Zhang Yuru took Liu Guanfeng by the hand and brought him to Li Xiaohan's door. Then she skipped back to her own room while a sound of locking the door came from inside.
Li Xiaohan could only help Liu Guanfeng into her room. After assisting him onto the bed, she fetched some water and began to wipe his face.
Under the moonlight, Liu Guanfeng saw Li Xiaohan wiping his face and suddenly grabbed her hand. He hugged her tightly and lifted her off the ground. Gently placing Li Xiaohan on the bed after that, he climbed onto the bed himself.
