Chapter 983: Chapter 988: Conclusion 5
Su Tang was momentarily startled but quickly recovered with a smile.
"So, Miss Su Tang, do you wish to become the companion of Gaiyin the Warrior, to love him, honor him, and trust him forever?"
Confronted with Yadang’s inquiry, Su Tang held Gaiyin’s hand tightly, her gaze firm and affectionate.
"I swear to the Lord of Beastmen in the name of a Level 2 Divine Brave Warrior..."
Gaiyin suddenly realized what Su Tang was about to do and instinctively wanted to stop her. 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝖔𝔪
However, his hand was tightly grasped by Su Tang, and without exerting some strength, he simply couldn’t pull away.
Then, meeting Su Tang’s resolute eyes again, Gaiyin stopped trying. He laughed, a very happy laugh.
A beam of white light flew out from within Su Tang, proving that the oath had taken effect.
"Next, we invite the flower child to bring the rings. The couple shall now exchange rings."
Yadang stepped forward with a small wooden tray in his hands, proceeding with utmost seriousness.
On the tray lay two exquisite wooden boxes, cushioned with straw, and upon which two rings rested quietly.
The rings were personally crafted by Gaiyin, which Ye Qiao had taken away before the wedding began. At that time, Su Tang was puzzled about what she needed them for, not expecting their reappearance here.
Su Tang looked at Gaiyin, "Kneel on one knee, just like before, and propose to me once more."
Gaiyin took the diamond ring from the box, knelt on one knee before Su Tang, his voice low and slightly hoarse due to nervousness or excitement.
"Tangtang, will you marry me and be my companion? I will be good to you for a lifetime."
To be good to you for a lifetime.
It wasn’t particularly melodious or passionate.
Just such a simple and unadorned phrase, although he had already said it during the oath, when Su Tang heard it again, she felt her heart grow warm.
Her eyes slowly misted over.
She quickly nodded in response, "Yes, I do! I’m willing!"
After Gaiyin put the ring on for her and stood up, he gently rubbed away the glisten at the corner of Su Tang’s eye with his thumb.
Then Su Tang, too, picked up a ring and slid it onto Gaiyin’s ring finger.
"With this ring on, you are now mine," she declared.
Gaiyin smiled fondly and ruffled Su Tang’s hair, "I’ve been yours for a long time already."
Their interaction, most clearly seen by Yadang who was closest, made him feel like he was about to die of envy.
The corner of his eye suddenly caught Ye Qiao dancing excitedly in the crowd.
Suddenly, Yadang remembered it was time for the next part of the ceremony.
Huh?
What was the next part again?
Yadang’s face stiffened as he turned to look at Ye Qiao in the crowd.
He saw her fingers bunching together, her hands ceaselessly bumping into each other.
Though she was also speaking, there were too many Beastmen talking around them, and Yadang couldn’t hear her clearly at all.
Yadang was getting anxious, his forehead even breaking out in a fine layer of sweat.
Ye Qiao was anxious too!
For such an important part of the ceremony, why couldn’t Yadang catch on?
Shifting her eyes, she then pulled Wen Jue nearby, planted a ’smack’ on his lips, and then raised an eyebrow at Yadang: Do you know what to do now?
Yadang’s eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously!
Then he turned around, his voice bold and loud, "I declare the Pairing Ceremony concluded! Now, Beastman warriors may kiss your companions!"
"Wow!"
"Oh snap!"
In an instant, the atmosphere of the wedding reached an unprecedented high.
As the Qifen Team Leader, Ye Qiao was the loudest cheerer.
Completely oblivious to the fact that Wen Jue, whom she had just used as a tool, now had a darkened expression on his face.
