"Open the Sacred Altar. Everyone, enter the Ancestral Mausoleum and begin the ceremony!"
The Sacred Mountain reappeared. The Fox Shamans stopped dancing and led the other races around the altar and into the Ancestral Mausoleum Tower.
Ding Ning came back to his senses and followed the Winged Clan's team into the Ancestral Mausoleum Tower. The powerful ancestors of each race were buried in the Stone Tower. Even though countless years had passed, it still exuded a terrifying aura.
The teams of the various races quickly parted ways in the maze-like path of the tower forest. Every clan had a fox shaman leading the way in front of them with great familiarity.
Ding Ning looked thoughtful. The Demon Clan had a tradition of worshiping their ancestors. The Spirit Fox Clan had always played the dual roles of the Ancestral Mausoleum Keeper and the Sacred Mountain Opener. No wonder the Fox Clan had always been aloof. No matter which race entered the Thousand Demon City, they would be treated with great respect.
"I can see the Sacred Mountain!"
"Yes, it's my first time seeing the Sacred Mountain."
"The Sacred Mountain is too mysterious. It's full of great opportunities and also terrifying."
"I'll be satisfied if I can see the Sacred Mountain in this life."
"Back then, when the Winged Monarch was in power, the Sacred Mountain was like the backyard of our Winged Clan. At that time, our Winged Clan was so domineering and glorious. But now, you're only satisfied with the sight of the Sacred Mountain. How sad."
"Hmph, one day, our clan will definitely return to its former glory."
"It's difficult. Although the Ancestor's cultivation is good, his spirit and strength are worlds apart from the Winged Monarch. It'll be difficult to return to our former glory."
"You can't say that. The prosperity of a race can't depend on one person. It's already a great achievement that the Ancestor can lead us back to the Thousand Demon City."
"That's right. We also have to work hard to cultivate and contribute to the rise of our race. I heard that when our ancestor, the Winged Monarch, ruled over the Myriad Demon City, there were countless peak-level Demon Kings in our race. It's not like now, where we have to rely on our ancestor alone to hold up the sky."
"I heard that when the Winged Monarch was in power, there were many experts in the race. However, most of them died in the process of exploring the Sacred Mountain. In the end, even the Winged Monarch never returned. That's why the Winged Clan was exterminated."
…
As the Winged Clan ventured deeper into the forest, some of the younger Winged Clan members in the group broke free from the solemn and oppressive atmosphere and started discussing excitedly in low voices.
Ding Ning learned many secrets of the past from their hearsay. He thought that sacrificing the demon kings of the race to explore the way into the Sacred Mountain was the old donkey's usual style.
It was just that he didn't quite agree with their complaints about pushing all the blame for the annihilation of their clan onto Old Donkey. He didn't have the right to speak without an investigation. Old Donkey wasn't a native of the Demon Kingdom, so he couldn't be too immersed in the Winged Clan.
Now that things had come to this, he still had no clue as to why Old Donkey had painstakingly set up a trap for him, a possessor of three supreme bloodlines, to be born and then lured here.
Old Donkey was truly too unfathomable and unscrupulous. He was someone who would do anything to achieve his goals. Therefore, even though the two of them were related by blood, Ding Ning was still extremely wary of him. He was afraid that he would be used as a pawn to be sacrificed for the greater good if he wasn't careful.
Logically speaking, now that Old Donkey had dug out the hidden Black Blood Race clansmen according to his intentions, he should have taken the initiative to find Ding Ning to discuss the matter of entering the Sacred Mountain. However, he didn't show his face from beginning to end and had disappeared without a trace. Ding Ning couldn't find him even if he wanted to find him and talk openly. This feeling of not being in his control made Ding Ning feel very uncomfortable, and his impression of Old Donkey worsened.
The ancestral worship ceremony was tedious and long. Moreover, it was extremely dull and tedious. Especially for the newlyweds, Ding Ning and Peng Tianjie, it was even more miserable. They had to stay in front of the ancestral pagoda and listen to the fox shaman's recitation of the ancestral worship. From time to time, they had to bow three times and nine times according to the shaman's instructions. They almost turned into kowtowing bugs. Ding Ning, who never had the habit of kneeling, was extremely depressed.
However, he was the only groom after all. Even the brides were able to control their impulses and piously worship the ancestors. He could only be patient and let his mind wander as he endured this most unbearable day.
Finally, when the sunset filled the sky, the tedious ancestral worship ceremony finally came to a successful end with the fox shaman's hoarse voice. Everyone felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.
Ding Ning, who had been sullen for a day, didn't have a moment of leisure after returning to the presidential residence that was decorated with lanterns and streamers. He immediately began to make arrangements for the wedding ceremony the next day.
Although they had invited the fox shaman to preside over the wedding, it was Ding Ning's first marriage after all. He still attached great importance to it.
He didn't know it until he got married. Looking at the tedious procedures and ceremonies of the wedding, which were not inferior to the ancestral worship ceremony, Ding Ning even wanted to die. There was only one thought in his mind, "Damn, it's so tiring to get married."
According to the rules, the bride and groom couldn't meet before the wedding, so the brides, including Kong Lei, had returned to their respective clans seven days ago. Fortunately, Miaomiao and Miaomiao insisted that they didn't have status. These days, they accompanied him all day and night, so that the animal who couldn't live without women didn't feel too disappointed.
As Kong Lei's wet nurse, Kong Xuan also followed her back to the tribe. She had just returned tonight. Ding Ning was extremely infatuated with this mature beauty who was weak and obedient. How could he still be patient? When he felt that the preparation was almost ready, Ding Ning could not wait to drag Kong Xuan, whose face was full of shyness, into the room and have a good time with her. It was not until Kong Xuan could not bear the burden anymore that Ding Ning reluctantly called Meow Meow and Meow Meow to sleep with them. They slept together for the whole night.
Early the next morning, when the four women were exhausted and still sleeping soundly, Ding Ning got up in high spirits, kissed them on their foreheads with pity, and hurried out to dress up for the wedding.
As soon as he left, the four women quietly opened their eyes and stared blankly at the ceiling. There was a touch of sadness and loss in their eyes that they could not let go. Kong Xuan was a little better. After all, she was a widow and never expected Ding Ning to marry her in a formal way.
But Miaomiao and Miaomiao were different. They had all given their chastity to Ding Ning, but they were afraid of losing Ding Ning's face because of their humble background, so they were resolutely unwilling to hold a wedding. But as women, who didn't want to have a grand wedding?
It was their own choice, so they couldn't blame Ding Ning. After lying down for a while, they suppressed their inner disappointment and got up to wash up. After all, it was a big day. Even if they were not brides, they should be happy and not be a disappointment.
After washing up, the four women stood in front of the window and watched Ding Ning, who was dressed in a bright red wedding robe, riding the majestic red-haired Hou, and escorted by the Wolf Cavalry dressed in red ribbons, majestically go out of the door. Along the way, they blew the trumpets and beat the drums as they went to fetch the bride. They felt very uncomfortable.
"Mrs. Miaomiao, come quickly. Why are you still here? There's no time. Hurry up and follow me."
At this moment, a group of women of the Cat Clan ran over with happy faces. Third Aunt, who was Miaomiao's neighbor, took the three confused Miaomiao and Miaomiao away.
"Third Aunt, where are you taking us? We have to help later, so we can't leave. "
Miaomiao asked with a puzzled look.
"Yes, we have to help greet the guests later."
Miaomiao was also confused.
"Oh, you are getting married today and are going to become the wives of the commander. Why do we still need to help? We are ordered by the patriarch to take you to the mansion next door. It was bought by the commander as a gift for the Cat Clan, so that it will be convenient for him to marry you today. We are the closest and the last stop. Now let's hurry up and dress up.
There's still time. "Third Aunt said happily.
"Yes, yes, Miaomiao, you sisters are so lucky. The commander is young and handsome, and he loves you so much. He has already customized wedding dresses for you in advance. Don't even mention how beautiful they are."
"Hurry up. When it comes to makeup, our Cat Clan is not inferior to any other race. Today, we must dress you three beautifully and surpass the other brides."
"Sigh, the Great General has already arranged for the wedding gifts. You don't have to worry about anything, just dress up nicely."
"By the way, the commander also said that his women will be treated equally and will never favor one and discriminate against the other. Hey, where can we find such a perfect husband? I'm so envious."
…
Usually, when the seven aunts and eight aunts restored the truth of the matter one by one, the three sisters covered their faces and burst into tears. Those were tears of joy and emotion.
Kong Xuan's eyes were red. She held back her inner disappointment and smilingly went forward to pull the three sisters up. She joked, "Hurry up and dress up and get ready to be a bride. What are you waiting for?"
"Sister Xuan, we are leaving … You … What will you do?"
Miaomiao and her sisters looked at Kong Xuan with tears in their eyes and felt a little sad for her.
"I'm fine. I'm fine. Hurry up and dress up beautifully. Don't miss the auspicious time. I'm also happy for you."
Kong Xuan's eyes flashed a touch of sadness, and then she comforted them with a smile.
The three sisters were surrounded by the bridesmaids of the Cat Clan to dress up. Kong Xuan was sad, but soon she showed a relieved smile. She was a widow. It was lucky enough to be loved by Ding Ning. What else could she ask for?
"MaMa, MaMa."
Kong Xuan's childish voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Kong Xuan hurriedly calmed down, showed a loving smile, and squatted down to the cute little Kong Xuan in red clothes. "Little baby, why are you calling MaMa?"
"My baby said to hurry up and dress up, and wait for him to marry you in a dignified manner."
Kong Xuan's delicate little face was filled with an undisguised joyful smile, and he said in a childish voice.
"What … what did you say?"
Kong Xuan trembled all over. She couldn't believe her ears and asked subconsciously.
"Aiya, I don't know either. Just follow me."
Kong Xuan scratched his head in distress. It seemed that he couldn't remember what Ding Ning had told him. He said something clever, and then turned to run outside.
"Slow down, don't fall."
Kong Xuan's heart was beating like thunder. She had guessed a certain possibility, but she still couldn't believe it. She followed Kong Xuan outside with graceful steps. Although she knew that Kong Xuan was an expert half a step to the Divine Level, and even if he fell from the sky, he wouldn't be hurt, let alone falling, she still couldn't help but exhort him because of her strong motherly love.
"MaMa, hurry up, or it'll be too late."
Kong Xuan pouted his little pink mouth in distress. He thought for a while, turned around, took Kong Xuan's hand, and kicked hard. In Kong Xuan's scream, he jumped out like the wind, and appeared a thousand meters away in the blink of an eye.
"Slow down!"
After a while, Kong Xuan took Kong Xuan to a luxurious mansion not far from the Presidential Palace.
The front door was decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, with a big "Happiness" character pasted on it. A pair of majestic stone lions at the door had big red flowers hanging on their necks, which added a bit of happiness.
"The bride is finally here. Hurry up!"
There were a lot of happy bridesmaids standing at the door. When they saw Kong Xuan, they immediately dispersed. Before she could react, she was dragged into a room by them.
