-Five years later-
It was the wedding of the world-renowned architect Hao Ren.
The wedding was held in the brand-new Grand Auditorium of East Ocean University designed by Hao Ren himself. It was the first time the Grand Auditorium had been put into use, and it looked like a flying dragon. From the glass to the tiles, everything was a festive red color.
After graduation, Hao Ren had officially entered LOM Studio. Under the guidance of top designer Zhao Hongyu, he had officially taken over the management of the famous LOM Studio with his extraordinary design skills, becoming a rising star in the design circle.
In a recent international authoritative ranking list, the studio's overall ranking was actually ranked 16th in the world.
Because of this, many seniors in the art circle came to the Grand Auditorium, which was said to be designed for Hao Ren's wedding. Even the top international designers flew from New York, Paris, and London to attend the wedding of this genius in the design industry.
Hao Ren, who was wearing a black suit, was busy entertaining the guests. The Grand Auditorium, which was thousands of square meters in area, was crowded with people.
Zhao Jiayi, Zhou Liren, Cao Ronghua, Yu Rong, and Gu Jiadong came to the entrance of the Grand Auditorium and looked up at the magnificent building, exclaiming in their minds.
They hadn't been to East Ocean University since graduation, but they didn't expect that the elegant Grand Auditorium of East Ocean University would be built in just one year.
It was said that the Grand Auditorium was sponsored by Mingri Group and cost hundreds of millions of yuan. The completed Grand Auditorium had become the symbol of East Ocean University and even East Ocean City, and it was printed on postcards that represented the image of East Ocean City.
"Damn, it's getting better and better!" Yu Rong cursed with a smile. Then, he took out his invitation card and handed it to the pretty receptionist at the entrance before following Zhao Jiayi and the others into the Grand Auditorium.
They had been fighting in the dorm and went their separate ways after graduation. However, they had a good relationship with Hao Ren, and they all benefited from Hao Ren's achievements.
Zhao Jiayi was now the head coach of the East Ocean City Basketball Team, and he often appeared on the sports channel of the TV station in a suit. Zhou Liren couldn't find a suitable job, so he went to work for the Mingri Group that Hao Ren invested in. He was now a project manager with a monthly salary of tens of thousands of yuan. Cao Ronghua went back to his hometown to do business, but he didn't have any funds. Hao Ren lent him two million yuan, and he was now a small local boss who drove a BMW to do business …
As for Yu Rong, Gu Jiadong, and Huang Jianfeng, they were all doing well. Although they looked unreliable in school, they had made a name for themselves in society.
With a stable career, his family would naturally be stable as well. Even Zhou Liren, who used to glow at the sight of beautiful women, had now found a sweet and obedient wife and lived a happy life.
Hao Ren's old classmates didn't understand why Hao Ren didn't get married even though his career was booming. They didn't know that Hao Ren was getting married until three months ago when they suddenly received an invitation!
This was the first time that the auditorium was open to the public. Naturally, it was also the first time that Zhao Jiayi and the others entered the auditorium. The magnificence of the auditorium stunned Zhao Jiayi, who had been to many press conferences.
It was definitely the decoration of a seven-star hotel!
The golden chandelier in the middle of the auditorium made Zhao Jiayi wonder if it was made of real gold! In fact, the chandelier was gold-plated!
Zhou Liren worked at Mingri Group and often went out to meet clients, but he had never seen such a grand occasion. He couldn't help but get closer to Zhao Jiayi.
This time, they agreed not to bring their wives because they were going to have another 'man's madness': playing games overnight in the internet cafe outside the school.
"Ma Lina! Ma Lina! "
Zhou Liren stood on his tiptoes and saw his classmate Ma Lina in the sea of people. He immediately waved and shouted.
Pa!
Zhao Jiayi slapped Zhou Liren's head hard.
"Hi! You are here! "Ma Lina ran over and hugged Zhao Jiayi's arm.
Zhao Jiayi looked at Zhou Liren helplessly and thought, "This guy is so stupid. We agreed to play games overnight, but he brought his wife here."
"Sister-in-law!" Zhou Liren chuckled and called out to Ma Lina.
Ma Lina nodded in satisfaction and snuggled up to Zhao Jiayi.
"It's a pity that Yujia got married later than me. Otherwise, I could be her bridesmaid!" Ma Lina looked up and said proudly.
"Come on! Wouldn't you look ugly standing beside Xie Yujia? "Zhao Jiayi knew his wife's personality well and teased her immediately.
"Of course!" Ma Lina wasn't angry at her husband's teasing. "I just went to the dressing room to see her. Yujia is so beautiful! She looks like a goddess! "
"I heard that Hao Ren is going to marry the daughter of the chairman of Mingri Group. Zhou Liren, you work at Mingri Group. Tell us the inside story!" Yu Rong nudged Zhou Liren and asked.
"There is a rumor in the company that Hao Ren is the son-in-law of the chairman. Hehe, speaking of which, she used to be my cousin!"
"Screw you! Only you can call her that! She doesn't even acknowledge you as her cousin! "Everyone punched Zhou Liren's body.
"Speaking of Zhao Yanzi, she is also studying at East Ocean University. She is the newest campus belle!" Gu Jiadong pretended to be envious.
"There is a rumor in the company that Zhao Yanzi and Hao Ren got married in secret half a month ago," Zhou Liren lowered his voice and said cautiously. Zhou Liren lowered his voice and said carefully. Then, he looked at everyone and said, "Don't tell anyone else. Otherwise, Brother Hao will blame me for gossiping."
"Zhou Liren, what are you talking about?" Hao Ren, who was wearing a suit, suddenly appeared behind them. Zhou Liren jumped up in fright.
"Hao Ren, congratulations …" Seeing Hao Ren, everyone congratulated him and gave him big red envelopes.
Hao Ren took the red envelopes with a smile and handed them to Zhao Baibai.
Zhao Baibai was dressed beautifully today, and there was a small pocket sewn on the front of her dress for the red envelopes.
"Good girl …" Zhou Liren patted Zhao Baibai's head and changed the topic.
It was an open secret in Mingri Group that Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi were close, and Zhao Guang, the chairman of Mingri Group, treated Hao Ren as his son-in-law. One of the older general managers even accidentally mentioned that Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi had gotten married. As the project manager of the company and Hao Ren's old classmate, Zhou Liren naturally knew about it.
However, Zhao Baibai didn't want a stranger to touch her head. She pouted and knocked Zhou Liren's' paw 'away.
"You guys find a place to sit. Help yourselves to the food here," Hao Ren said.
Indeed, just like what Zhou Liren had heard, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi got married in the East Ocean Dragon Palace half a month ago. This wedding was the biggest wedding in the history of the Dragon Tribe!
There were more than 1,000 tables! All the dragon kings, crown princes, and elders of the dragon palaces attended the wedding!
Even a few peak Qian-level elders from the Elder Council of the metal-elemental dragon cultivators came to the East Ocean Dragon Palace with the most outstanding young cultivators to congratulate them.
The gifts from all the dragon palaces filled the warehouse of the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and all kinds of precious gifts were placed in the square and piled up into a small mountain!
Premier Xia, who had become a mortal, made an exception and returned to the East Ocean Dragon Palace. However, he didn't busy himself with the wedding. Instead, he sat beside Zhao Guang as an elder.
The dragon cultivators, especially the elders who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains, didn't care about weddings in the mortal world. What they approved of were weddings held in the dragon palaces.
Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi's wedding lasted three days and three nights in the East Ocean Dragon Palace, and it became the grandest and most solemn party for the dragon cultivators in the past hundreds of years.
In the mortal world, Zhao Yanzi gave the wedding to Xie Yujia of her own accord since she was the 'Little Zhumu' on the surface, but she was the 'Big Zhumu' in fact.
Of course, she didn't want to see Xie Yujia suffer. After all, Xie Yujia's parents were mortals. Putting herself in their shoes, she knew that they wanted to see their daughter live a happy life, and her parents, Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu, could live for at least hundreds of years. This was the advantage of the Dragon Tribe over mortals.
In the dressing room, Lu Linlin and Lu Lili were doing Xie Yujia's hair while Zhao Yanzi was sitting across from Xie Yujia, helping her with the makeup.
"Big Zhumu is a little nervous!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili said with a smile when they saw Xie Yujia's slightly trembling hands.
"Ok, stop teasing me," Xie Yujia reached out and pinched the Lu sisters' pink cheeks as she said with an awkward smile.
"Sister Yujia is so beautiful!" Zhao Yanzi looked at Xie Yujia and said with a smile, showing her little canine teeth.
"You are the prettier one. You are getting prettier," Xie Yujia answered.
She had taken the Beauty Pill, and her appearance hadn't changed much in the past five years except for becoming more delicate. Zhao Yanzi, on the other hand, had gotten prettier in the past five years. Although she still looked young, her beauty was radiant.
"Ok, ok, stop fighting. Big Zhumu and Little Zhumu are both very beautiful!" Lu Linlin said.
"You are the best at talking!" Xie Yujia raised her hands and lightly scratched their noses.
In fact, she didn't put on much makeup for her wedding. The makeup artist she hired was shocked when she saw Xie Yujia's skin and appearance. Even with her 20 years of makeup experience, she didn't know how to do makeup for Xie Yujia. She thought that any makeup would only ruin Xie Yujia's perfection!
Therefore, the main part of the makeup was hairstyle. Since the Lu sisters were good at it, they volunteered to do it for Xie Yujia.
"Yujia is so beautiful." Su Han pushed open the door and walked in in her white dress.
"Sister Su!" Xie Yujia looked at Su Han through the mirror and yelled happily.
After the devil dragon was defeated, the world returned to peace. Under the guidance of her two Heavenly Dragon parents, Su Han's cultivation strength had increased by leaps and bounds. In half a year, she had recovered to peak Qian-level and ascended to the Heavenly Dragon Realm two years later.
Kui and Su Rui had made up, and they knew Su Han's feelings for them. That was why they let Su Han stay in East Ocean City with Hao Ren. Some things didn't need to be said, and everyone accepted it.
"Sister Su, tell me, am I prettier on my wedding day or is Sister Yujia prettier now?" In a good mood, Zhao Yanzi asked Su Han a difficult question.
"Hehe, both are prettier," Su Han wouldn't fall into Zhao Yanzi's trap and answered immediately.
"Ah! Sister Su is so cunning! "Zhao Yanzi pouted and tilted her head.
They were as close as sisters, and Su Han was the calmest one. That was why she was able to 'manage' them like an older sister.
"Sister Su Han, there's something I don't understand when I was cultivating yesterday …" Xie Yujia turned her head and looked at Su Han.
Having just reached the Four-Petal Realm, Su Han's realm wasn't as high as the Lu sisters', but she had the most solid cultivation foundation and experience. That was why she answered all of Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia's questions about cultivation.
"Ok, you are a cultivation maniac. You are already married, and you are still thinking about this." Su Han tapped Xie Yujia's forehead with her thin finger. She felt a bit sad when she saw Xie Yujia's beauty up close.
However, she remembered that Xie Yujia was the only 'mortal' among them and the only one who needed to support her parents. Therefore, she felt that Xie Yujia didn't have it easy. Although it was normal for mortals to grow old and die, Xie Yujia had to show her filial piety.
That was why Zhao Yanzi and the Lu sisters didn't want to argue with Xie Yujia about this.
Xie Yujia was worried that she couldn't be a good daughter-in-law. However, she felt better with the encouragement of Zhao Yanzi and the others.
Cultivators lived freely in the world like immortals and didn't care about the rules of the mortal world. However, Xie Yujia had a pair of parents who wanted her to be happy, and Hao Ren had the same parents. Therefore, the responsibility fell on Xie Yujia's shoulders.
Outside the dressing room, more and more guests came to the grand hall as the time drew closer.
Ever since Grandma survived the disaster five years ago, her body had become stronger and stronger. Now that five years had passed, she didn't even need a walking stick. She walked like a tiger. The elders of her generation all called her "Old Immortal".
Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua walked beside Grandma in their festive outfits, and they almost couldn't keep up with Grandma's speed.
Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu, who were also dressed in festive outfits, walked beside Yue Yang and Hao Zhonghua, causing some guests to talk about them.
Zhao Guang paid for all the expenses of Hao Ren and Xie Yujia's wedding. Otherwise, how could Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang afford such a luxurious wedding with their savings?
The relationship between the two families was so close that Hao Ren was almost the son of the Zhao Family even if he wasn't!
Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu treated Hao Ren as their 'son', so they spent a little money on Hao Ren's wedding. Therefore, it was understandable that Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu invited some of their friends to the wedding.
However, in Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang's eyes, Zhao Guang's relatives and friends all wore weird outfits.
There were some men who were very majestic. They were wearing suits, but no matter how one looked at them, they looked twisted …
Some of the elders were wearing Chinese gowns and looked smooth …
There was also an old man in a Taoist robe with a wrinkled face, and he was leading a thin man who had hair all over his face and looked like he hadn't shaved in months …
If they didn't have formal invitations, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang would have thought that they had gone to the wrong venue for a masquerade ball!
"Damn! That guy even has hair on the back of his neck! "
Zhou Liren, who was strolling around the venue, pointed at the guy who was eating fruits and said to Zhao Jiayi who was beside him.
Hiss …
The guy with hair on the back of his neck suddenly turned around and bared his teeth at Zhou Liren.
His eyes were shining with golden light, and his expression was fierce. Zhou Liren was so scared that he dropped the cake and ran away.
Seeing this weird guy, Zhao Jiayi immediately pulled Ma Lina away. They wanted to eat some peaches, but it seemed like they had to get other fruits.
"Little Xue! Little Xue! I'm familiar with this place! "In a black suit, Zhen Congming walked over with Wu Luoxue.
In the past five years, he and Wu Luoxue had entered middle school, and Zhen Congming had become more handsome while Wu Luoxue had become more beautiful.
In the past five years, Zhen Congming had been following Wu Luoxue closely. Anyone who dared to pursue Wu Luoxue would be his enemy. However, he had won the love of his future mother-in-law, but Wu Luoxue didn't like him, which made him anxious like a monkey scratching an itch.
Of course, Zhen Congming and Wu Luoxue's families were invited to his wedding on land.
Since Zhen Congming was on land, Lady Zhen and Qin Lang had created an identity and were talking with Mayor Wu and Bai Ze. Meanwhile, Zhen Congming took the opportunity to walk around with Wu Luoxue, feeling proud that he could hold Wu Luoxue's slim hand.
"Hahahaha …"
A hearty voice suddenly sounded.
The nearby guests turned their heads and saw a white-haired old man with a ruddy face walking into the grand hall accompanied by a dark-faced man and a fair-skinned woman.
"Dad!" Zhao Guang hurried over to greet this white-haired but majestic old man.
"Hehe, Uncle, you are finally here!" Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang also hurried over to greet him.
The old man was Zhao Haoran.
He had decided to stay in the Heavenly Realm to guard Zhao Haoran's grave. However, Zhao Haoran's dragon soul had merged with the will of the Elite-creating Dragon God, and the devil dragon didn't go to the Heavenly Realm to interfere. That was why Zhao Haoran was resurrected miraculously in three days!
This process was almost the same as Xu Ke's, but Zhao Haoran didn't lose his mind.
With the firm will of the God of War, he merged with the will of the Elite-creating Dragon God. On one hand, he was the old dragon king of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, and on the other hand, he was the physical body of the Elite-creating Dragon God!
Even Ya Zi wouldn't dare to act rashly when he saw Zhao Haoran!
"Uncle, please take a seat over there …" Hao Zhonghua invited Zhao Haoran inside respectfully.
The Hao Family and the Zhao Family were like a family, and Hao Zhonghua had met Zhao Guang's father several times. He knew that Zhao Guang lived in the U.S. and came back from the U.S. to attend Hao Ren's wedding.
Hao Zhonghua also recognized that Zhao Guang's third brother, Zhao Kuo, and his wife were sitting beside Zhao Haoran. However, for some reason, the couple didn't want to have children, so they treated Zhao Yanzi as their own.
Hao Zhonghua knew that the old man cared a lot about having children. Zhao Guang had a daughter, Zhao Yanzi. This time, Zhao Guang's second brother, Zhao Kuan, and his family came with Xie Yujia's parents, but the old man didn't seem to care much about Zhao Kuan's family. In contrast, he seemed to care more about Hao Ren.
This puzzled Hao Zhonghua, but he was also very touched. Zhao Hongyu told Yue Yang that the old man and Zhao Guang planned to give most of the shares of Mingri Group to Hao Ren in the future!
The Zhao Family had deep feelings for the Hao Family, and their elders also thought highly of Hao Ren. This made Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang feel bad, and they felt like they had committed a heinous crime by not letting Hao Ren marry Zhao Yanzi.
However, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang didn't know that Hao Ren would not only inherit Mingri Group but also the East Ocean Dragon Clan. This was decided by Zhao Haoran himself!
However, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang didn't know that Hao Ren would not only inherit Mingri Group but also the East Ocean Dragon Clan. In fact, Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi, who was still in university, had already bowed to the Heavens and Earth and nourished each other's dragon cores!
Zhao Yanzi was the one who felt embarrassed! She couldn't tell Hao Ren's parents, but she still called them her parents!
At the entrance of the auditorium, Lu Qing and Sun Yun walked in with Yue Zilong, who looked like a young man. After surviving the catastrophe, Yue Zilong had returned to peak Qian-level after some recovery, and he stayed at East Ocean University as a counselor.
Now, the Calligraphy Club in East Ocean University had grown very strong. Under the authorization of Hao Ren and the agreement signed by all the dragon clans, it could investigate all the cases related to dragon cultivators, including metal-elemental dragons. It had replaced the position of the Dragon God Shrine.
Accordingly, Ethereal Summit, which was above Fifth Heaven, had gained the support of Eighth Heaven under Hao Ren's plan. It had become an independent cultivation court, and it could adjudicate any disputes between sects from Fifth Heaven to Seventh Heaven.
This time, all the members of the Calligraphy Club attended Hao Ren's wedding. Most of them had become the pillars of their respective dragon clans. With Hao Ren as the center, they were all united around the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
No matter if it was above or below Fifth Heaven, it was unprecedentedly prosperous!
As for Hao Zhonghua's Dragon Search project, he had made a breakthrough and obtained a new set of gene sequences, which made scientists see the hope of extending human lifespan. Hao Zhonghua's five years of research had shocked the scientific community, and he had a high chance of winning the Nobel Prize!
However, Hao Zhonghua didn't care about this award. He didn't want the fame; he only wanted to spend more time with his family. Also, he hoped that Hao Ren could give birth to a 'little Hao Ren' as soon as possible so that Grandma wouldn't nag him all the time!
Crack!
Xie Yujia walked out of the dressing room in her white wedding dress.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili stood on either side of Xie Yujia, and Su Han and Zhao Yanzi followed Xie Yujia out of the dressing room with smiles.
Everyone was stunned!
All the lights seemed to dim in an instant!
Xie Yujia's parents who were talking with Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were stunned when they saw their daughter coming out.
The two cousins of Zhao Yanzi who were following Zhao Kuan opened their mouths wide when they saw the group. Even the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the U.S. couldn't see such a dazzling group!
Zhao Baibai who was busy receiving red envelopes ran over and pulled Xie Yujia's wedding dress from behind.
She was about seven years old and was at her most lively and adorable age. She stood behind Xie Yujia and brightened up the wedding dress.
Qingfeng Grandma nodded slightly and looked at Xie Yujia with a gratified smile while standing in the crowd.
Xie Yujia also saw Old Grandma, and she turned her head slightly with a smile.
Sun Wukong who was munching on a peach froze when he saw his third brother's beautiful wife. However, he quickly returned to his peach, thinking that he didn't like a hairy wife!
Seeing Xie Yujia, Lady Zhen sighed slightly and suddenly thought of her disciple, Duan Yao, who was sleeping in the ancient lamp.
She knew that Hao Ren had broken through to the Six-Petal Realm last month after five years of hard cultivation.
She also knew that Hao Ren ate one of the five red pills that Qiu Niu gave him and gave one each to Zhao Yanzi, Xie Yujia, and Su Han. The last one was for Duan Yao.
With Hao Ren's fast progress, the guidance of Zhao Haoran who had the will of the Godly Dragon, and the sparring partner of Sun Wukong, he might reach the Eight-Petal Realm in five or ten years.
However, Lady Zhen didn't know if Duan Yao's feelings toward Hao Ren would change after ten or fifteen years …
Lady Zhen was sure that as the master of Duan Yao's only disciple, she must give Duan Yao happiness.
"Second Brother," Zhen Yuan Zi who was wearing a Daoist robe suddenly remembered something and nudged Sun Wukong. "Third Brother asked me to ask you if you know Tang Xuanzang and Zhu Bajie?"
"Tang Xuanzang? Zhu Bajie? " With half a peach in his mouth, Sun Wukong looked at Zhen Yuan Zi in confusion and blinked. "Are they very powerful? Where do they live? I'll go fight them! "
"Ugh …" Zhen Yuan Zi didn't know what to say.
This Second Brother of his couldn't find a worthy opponent. Now that he finally met someone with great potential, he had been looking forward to Hao Ren reaching the Eight-Petal Realm and fighting Hao Ren at least once a month.
Zhen Yuan Zi glanced over Sun Wukong's ear and suddenly saw a benevolent woman in plain clothes among the guests. He was a bit surprised.
This woman was smiling as she looked at Lu Linlin and Lu Lili who were walking on the red carpet.
Hao Ren stood on the red carpet and watched them walk toward him.
Each of them emitted a unique radiance, and the guests couldn't even look at them directly.
Hao Ren smiled.
"Today, I'm going to marry you … Today, I'm going to marry you …"
The music sounded.
