Chapter 81: The Ceremony

It was the day of Long Xia's coronation with Yuan Bojing.

She spent most of the morning fighting the nerves that crept into her heart. She knew members across the eight organizations disproved her legitimacy. She knew people did not accept Yuan Bojing's survival, thinking it unfair to the families that lost a loved one while he got to live. 

But, they were slowly beginning to accept their marriage. Unifying the two winners of the tournament made their empire look powerful because Long Xia and Yuan Bojing were, indeed, the strongest. 

"You look lovely," Shi Yen said after helping Long Xia dress into her ceremonial clothes. Shi Yen wore a stunning red-gold dress, whereas Long Xia wore blue and gold. 

Long Xia flushed. "Thank you, mother-in-law."
