Capítulo 26: Chapter 26: Tang Hao's Tearful Blessing, the Beautiful Bride Ah Yin
Zhou Yi and Ah Yin's wedding day.
Soul Masters from all corners of the continent converged on Notting City. The streets were packed with a sea of people, creating a lively atmosphere that the city had never seen before.
Within the Zhou residence, a grand banquet was in full swing. Zhou Yi had reserved every inn and tavern in the city for the celebration.
Yu Xiaogang, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu were running themselves ragged, handling various tasks, while Sword Douluo Chen Xin took charge of security.
Soul Masters of all kinds had gathered, a dazzling mix of individuals from various regions. Without a strong deterrent, there was no guarantee that troublemakers wouldn't appear.
But with Sword Douluo standing watch, who would dare?
"What a grand occasion!"
"I've never seen so many Soul Masters gathered in one place. It's incredible!"
"The Spirit Hall, Clear Sky Clan, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Star Luo Imperial Family… nearly every major power on the continent is represented here!"
"Even if a Titled Douluo were to marry, it wouldn't be as extravagant as this!"
"Though Mr. Zhou's cultivation isn't high, his influence in the Soul Master world far surpasses that of most Titled Douluo."
"His theories on swordsmanship are truly brilliant. No wonder even Sword Douluo was convinced. I'm starting to wish I could study under him too!"
"Look over there! It's the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall! She's absolutely stunning!"
"My heavens, is this… love at first sight?"
"The Clear Sky Clan has arrived too!"
"Those must be the Clear Sky Twins. What a striking pair!"
"But… why do they look so glum?"
"And who's that goddess with such an air of elegance by their side?"
"I heard the Clear Sky Twins have a younger sister. That must be her!"
"She's so poised, so beautiful!"
As one illustrious figure after another arrived, the crowd of Soul Masters buzzed with excitement, their eyes dazzled by the spectacle.
Figures like the Clear Sky Twins and the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall were the kind of people most Soul Masters could only dream of seeing once in their lifetime.
"The groom is here!"
"And Lady Liu too!"
A voice rang out, and countless eyes turned toward Zhou Yi and Liu Erlong.
Zhou Yi walked with a steady and confident stride, his face adorned with a warm smile that exuded springtime charm. Liu Erlong, glowing with radiance, showed none of the jealousy or resentment many had speculated she might harbor.
"Lady Liu is truly stunning!"
"She has such grace and magnanimity. This is what a proper wife should be!"
"Indeed, from her expression, it's clear she isn't forcing herself to smile. Her glowing demeanor shows she's genuinely in good spirits!"
Seeing Liu Erlong's composed and intoxicating charm, countless Soul Masters couldn't help but feel a mix of envy, admiration, and awe.
Zhou Yi: Did you think my efforts last night were for nothing?
"Thank you all for traveling far and wide to join us for our wedding celebration," Zhou Yi and Liu Erlong greeted their guests. "Please, eat and drink to your heart's content!"
"So that's Zhou Yi…" Tang Yuehua, seated near Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, sipped her wine as her captivating eyes curiously observed the groom.
After meeting her brothers in Notting City, Tang Yuehua had quickly noticed their dispirited and heartbroken states. Gone was their usual pride and vigor.
It didn't take long for her to learn the reason: both Tang Xiao and Tang Hao loved Ah Yin, yet she was now marrying Zhou Yi.
In Tang Yuehua's heart, her brothers had always been invincible. But here, in the matters of love, they had been utterly crushed by Zhou Yi.
They couldn't even win over the woman they loved.
Yet, as Tang Yuehua took in Zhou Yi's exceptional appearance and unique aura, she couldn't help but think her brothers had lost fairly.
Zhou Yi was, without a doubt, extraordinarily handsome.
That refined air of his was particularly magnetic to women.
No wonder her brothers couldn't compete.
Soon, the auspicious hour arrived.
Liu Erlong led Ah Yin forward, the bride adorned in resplendent wedding attire, her face covered by a red veil.
The atmosphere reached a fever pitch.
Though Ah Yin's face was hidden, the graceful curve of her figure and the occasional glimpse of her fair complexion as the veil fluttered in the breeze hinted at an otherworldly beauty beneath.
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao stared at Ah Yin, their gazes lingering on her radiant form as she became a bride. She was breathtaking today.
But her beauty wasn't for them—it was for Zhou Yi alone.
Gulp.Gulp.
The two brothers drank deeply, hoping to drown their sorrows.
Yet the more they drank, the heavier their hearts grew.
They weren't the only ones nursing heartbreak.
Sitting quietly in a corner, Flender watched Liu Erlong. She was mature, alluring, and radiant, busy greeting guests on behalf of Zhou Yi.
His heart ached so much it was hard to breathe.
What a wonderful woman.
Yet Zhou Yi didn't know how to cherish her.
And now he's taken a new lover!
What a scoundrel!
Boohoo...
Flender wept.
He cried bitterly.
They say men don't shed tears easily—
Unless the sorrow runs deep.
But tonight, he wasn't alone in his grief.
Two more brokenhearted souls accompanied him:
Tang Xiao and Tang Hao.
And in the future, there would be even more...
The ceremony concluded.
Ah Yin was escorted into the bridal chamber.
Zhou Yi stayed behind to toast the guests.
He approached Tang Xiao and Tang Hao's table. Upon seeing Tang Yuehua, his eyes lit up.
Tang Yuehua might not have been the most stunning woman, but her unique temperament was captivating—
A charm that made a man think of having children with her.
[TN: A man like Zhou Yi, lol.]
"Brother Xiao, Brother Hao," Zhou Yi greeted the two warmly, then turned his attention to Tang Yuehua. "This must be Miss Tang. Such elegance and grace—truly otherworldly beauty!"
"You flatter me, Mister Zhou," Tang Yuehua replied as she stood, graceful and poised, offering a faint smile. "Congratulations to you and Miss Ah Yin. Wishing you a joyous union and eternal happiness!"
"Thank you!" Zhou Yi replied courteously.
"Brother Zhou, may you and Ah Yin share everlasting love and happiness," Tang Xiao and Tang Hao added, their voices tinged with emotion as they extended their congratulations, doing their best to hide their inner turmoil.
"Thank you. A toast to you both!"
Zhou Yi raised his glass, drinking with Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and Tang Yuehua.
After making his rounds, and enduring the melancholy gaze of Bibi Dong, he leisurely made his way into the bridal chamber.
The room was adorned with red silk, and the light of red candles illuminated every corner.
Ah Yin sat quietly, her head still covered with the red bridal veil.
Even though she and Zhou Yi had already...
Tonight, she was nervous and shy all the same.
With a touch of excitement, Zhou Yi stepped forward and gently lifted the red veil.
Beneath it, Ah Yin's exquisite face was revealed. Under the glow of the red candlelight, her beauty appeared even more radiant and enchanting.
At this moment, her lovely eyes were filled with shyness, and a blush spread across her flawless, porcelain-like cheeks. The sight made Zhou Yi's affection for her deepen, and his heart grew even warmer.
No matter how many times they had been together before—
Tonight's special moment felt utterly different.
Zhou Yi picked up two wine cups, handing one to Ah Yin. Together, they drank their ceremonial wedding wine.
"Husband~"
That softly spoken word, tender and sweet, nearly made Zhou Yi lose himself.
Whether it was due to the wine or her shyness,
Ah Yin's fair cheeks grew even redder, her allure more mesmerizing than ever.
Crash!
The wine cup slipped from Zhou Yi's hand, shattering on the ground.
He couldn't resist any longer. Overcome by the sight of her increasingly captivating face, Zhou Yi pulled Ah Yin tightly into his embrace.
The red candles burned brightly, their flames flickering. Droplets of red wax slid down, resembling the joyful tears of a new bride.
The night deepened, growing infinitely romantic.
