Bab 89: The Wedding Date
In the villa, everyone remained unaffected by the tight surveillance of Silvis cavalry.
During the meal, Hu Liena, seated next to Ye Tian, brought up the subject with interest, "Ye Tian, when exactly is our wedding going to be held?"
Upon hearing this, the most obvious reaction came from Qian Renxue, among those seated around the dining table.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at Hu Liena.
Hasn't she moved a little too fast?
As far as she knew, Hu Liena and Ye Tian had known each other for less than two months.
And now, they were already talking about marriage?
Qian Renxue was baffled, left to marvel at how surreal reality could be.
Ye Tian, the one being asked, showed little reaction.
A wedding?
That was just a formality.
If two people loved each other, the bond of their emotions was the true bridge sustaining the relationship.
Since Hu Liena brought it up, he had to give it some thought.
However, there really wasn't much to consider.
His sister had previously mentioned that Liena had no family behind her.
And on his side, he only had his sister.
Altogether, they had only three family members.
There was no need for any elaborate preparation or sending out invitations.
Fiddling with the chopsticks in his hand, Ye Tian mused:
"It's best to keep the wedding simple. As for the date…"
"In one month, it'll be the New Year. How about the two days before New Year's?"
"Okay," Hu Liena's eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded in agreement.
In just one month, she could truly become Ye Tian's wife.
By then, once the deal was sealed, it would be too late for regrets.
Hehe.
If Ye Tian knew what Hu Liena was thinking, he'd surely exclaim that he'd been tricked.
One had to admit, the trap hidden beneath this beauty was truly well-concealed.
Not a trace of it could be detected.
"Congratulations, Liena, on finding such a good husband."
Bibi Dong beamed as she reached out to serve Liena a piece of delicious bear paw meat.
"Nana, are you really getting married?"
She Long was shocked, hearing something unbelievable.
The future Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall was getting married.
And the groom was none other than the seemingly ordinary Ye Tian.
What was more surprising was that even the Supreme Pontiff herself was in favor of it.
This completely upended She Long's understanding.
In his view, Spirit Hall was filled with many promising young talents, such as the grandson of Crocodile Douluo and Yan from the Golden Generation.
With their talents, reaching the rank of Title Douluo was a certainty.
Both had expressed admiration for Hu Liena.
It could be said that if Hu Liena had agreed, she would immediately have a genius husband.
Yet, to his astonishment, Hu Liena had chosen Ye Tian, who wasn't even a soul master.
This reminded She Long of Bibi Dong's past experiences.
It was said that when Bibi Dong was young... she had also liked someone deemed useless.
However, due to their respective statuses, she had to give up in the end.
Now that Bibi Dong was a powerful Supreme Pontiff, she likely didn't want her precious disciple to repeat her own mistakes, which was why she encouraged her to be with Ye Tian.
This made She Long feel uncomfortable. What was love worth, anyway? In his opinion, Bibi Dong was completely harming Hu Liena!
He knew that ordinary people, under peaceful circumstances, could only live to be around a hundred years old at most.
With Hu Liena's talent, she could easily live up to three hundred years as a Super Douluo.
Would she spend her remaining years as a widow?
If he were one of Hu Liena's relatives, he would vehemently oppose this marriage.
A child may be blinded by love, but what about Bibi Dong, an adult? Did she not understand that marriage wasn't just about love?
Although She Long wasn't Hu Liena's master, he had taught her before and had a good relationship with her.
He couldn't just watch as Hu Liena jumped into the fire.
His eyes flickered. It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to warn Ye Tian.
It was one thing to harm other women, but to dare to harm Spirit Hall's future Holy Maiden?
This marriage was not in the best interests of either Spirit Hall or Hu Liena herself.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian and the others didn't notice She Long's mood.
They were busy discussing the details of the wedding arrangements.
In this regard, Hu Liena had a lot of ideas.
After all, a wedding was a once-in-a-lifetime event. She spread her arms wide, her starry eyes filled with beautiful fantasies:
"Our wedding should be held in Butterfly Valley at Butterfly Farm."
Her pretty face was full of smiles. "Imagine butterflies fluttering around, me in a long white dress, stepping on the wings of butterflies, gently floating into Ye Tian's arms. How beautiful!"
"I won't be able to carry you," Ye Tian teased as he ate his rice.
"Hmph, then how did you manage to carry Qian Renxue back?" Hu Liena's eyes widened as she muttered.
Qian Renxue, who had been quietly eating, raised her eyebrows at this.
She couldn't help but feel like she was being forced to endure another wave of dog food.
Was her sister Liena hinting that she should quickly find a husband, too?
Qian Renxue shook her head. At least until Spirit Hall unified the continent, she had no plans to get married.
...
Night fell.
A mile outside the villa, torches lit up the area.
The cavalry's official duty was to protect the safety of the Crown Prince.
In reality, they permitted anyone to come and go.
Bibi Dong, She Long, and the others had already retired for the night.
Ye Tian and Hu Liena stood by the second-floor window, admiring the bright moonlight outside.
Hu Liena nestled against Ye Tian's chest, her thoughts in turmoil.
Although the wedding date had been set today, the closer it got, the more this inexplicable sense of panic grew inside her.
This anxiety stemmed from the deception surrounding Ye Tian.
Ye Tian had fallen in love with her without knowing her true identity.
It wasn't even really love — it was just a match made by her teacher.
Ye Tian agreed to marry her entirely due to her teacher's request.
If he ever found out the truth, would he regret it?
Every time she thought of this, Hu Liena felt at a complete loss.
This constant back-and-forth plagued her.
Although she outwardly appeared soft and sweet, her inner struggles were intense.
"Brother, if one day I…"
Hu Liena's voice was soft as she leaned against Ye Tian, but she was cut off before finishing.
His hand gently rested on her soft body, his wise eyes meeting hers.
"There's no need for so many 'ifs'."
"I mean, I'm not what you think or know…"
At this, Hu Liena felt a rush of mixed emotions. The more Ye Tian trusted her, the deeper her guilt became.
Was it really okay to keep deceiving him like this?
Ye Tian smirked mischievously and pinched her pale cheek.
"Don't worry, I'm more attracted to your looks. Your soul doesn't really move me much."
Hu Liena: "..."
She glared at him playfully.
"Annoying."
