All My Beasts Are Legendary-Chapter 408 - Now the Whole World Knows
Chapter 408 - Now the Whole World Knows
"I have this feeling over the past couple of days that something is off. How about we just let this drop."
Standing behind Xiahou Ji, Ling Miaotong massaged his temples lightly. Then, slightly bent forward and she leaned her body against Xiahou Ji.
Both she and Xiahou Ji felt that something was off over the last couple of days.
They felt the strange sensation of something arriving and in their dreams, they saw themselves preparing to leave here.
This made her extremely uncomfortable.
She no longer wanted Xiahou Ji to compete for anything. She just wanted him to safe and around.
"It'll be alright. I can sense it. Whoever that is coming towards us... does not come to harm."
Xiahou Ji took hold of Ling Miaotong's hand and said.
He had this fearsome reputation to both enemies and subordinates alike, but he was very gentle towards Ling Miaotong.
"As for the competition over the alliance leader, I must try again!"
Xiahou Ji looked out the window.
He still did not want to give up.
Ye Xuan was coming up at an unprecedented pace, but he believed that once he becomes the Great Xia Alliance's leader, his cultivation speed would not be any slower than that of Ye Xuan's.
As for the other competitor, Teng Qinglin, even though he had tremendous respect for Teng Qinglin, he did not believe he would be a suitable competitor.
Teng Qinglin was too old.
He had lost the necessary edge and decisiveness required of a fierce competitor and more importantly the alliance leader.
"Ok."
Ling Miaotong nodded. She knew that further persuasion would be useless.
"What do you think happened to An Gucheng's hanged body? I heard the Jiangzhou University took it down shortly after they put it up."
Xiahou Ji swiped through the online news and asked Ling Miaotong.
"Who knows what they are thinking."
Ling Miaotong shook her head. She had no idea what Jiangzhou University was doing.
Or what Ye Xuan was doing for that matter.
"Ye Xuan."
Elsewhere in Zhongzhou Prefecture, an old man read through the news about Ye Xuan and sighed. "The new wave pushes forth the old. Seems like my era has really passed now." He reclined back in his seat.
How long had it been since Ye Xuan evolved to master-level?
In this short span of time, he brought back the body of a legendary-level beast tamer. Even the old man had to be surprised.
Before the Xia obtained the Sacrifice Spell, any legendary-level beast tamer was an invincible being to them.
Not just invincible, they were considered to be an unfathomable level to reach.
Yet in the short amount of time, since Ye Xuan reached master-level, he brought back from the Ancient God Planet the body of a legendary-level beast tamer.
An Gucheng!
That was a name once discussed many times by old challenger-level beast tamers such as him.
But now, his body hangs at the gates of Jiangzhou University.
All of a sudden, the old man was overcome by a wave of helplessness.
Perhaps it would be for the best to leave these matters into the hands of the younger generations.
He thought of Xiahou Ji, then Ye Xuan, and slowly closed his eyes as he sunk deeper into his chair.
"Linlin, before we take our wedding photos. Shouldn't we get our marriage certificate first?"
Riding on the back of the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle, Ye Xuan held Lin Shiru in his arms and asked her.
"Ok," Lin Shiru blushed as she answered, "when should we go?"
"There's no better time than now!"
Ye Xuan held her hand and said.
Shoo!
Lin Shiru did not oppose.
By their current status in society, whether or not to obtain a marriage certificate was a trivial matter.
But this type of ceremony was something she had always wanted.
"Shoo!"
The Snowy Bladefeather Eagle's speed was incredible. It did not take long before they arrived at the clouds above Jianzhou City.
Even though Lin Shiru was born and raised in Jiangzhou City, she had no idea where the marriage agency was.
Luckily, Ye Xuan had his Tidal Treasure Snail. With a brief search on the mini-map, he found the agency's location.
Shoo!
With a knowing glance towards one another, they held each other's hand as they descended gracefully on the steps of a skyscr.a.p.er.
"What the?"
When they saw Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru, many of them froze.
Both Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru were household names all across Xia, let alone Jiangzhou City.
Jiangzhou was like a home base to the two.
Looking across the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture, people who had not heard of the names Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru were like an endangered species. Very few of them existed.
As the couples around the building saw Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru enter the building holding hands, all of their eyes grew wide with astonishment.
"Is that... could that be Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru?"
"What the... what is going on? Why are those two together..."
"What do you think? What else could be going on?"
At that moment, everyone was shocked and confused.
Ye Xuan was together with Lin Shiru?
And judging from the looks of it, they were here to get their marriage certificate!
Once the initial shock faded, everyone began to gossip.
Ye Xuan was the Great Xia Alliance's sacred son.
Lin Shiru was a goddess, an idol across the entire Jiangzhou Prefecture.
If they really got together, the news headline the next day would be bombastic.
This would be a major development for the entire Xia.
"Was this the reason An Gucheng's body got removed from the main gates of Jiangzhou University? Was it because of this?"
"No way? Just because Ye Xuan is together with Lin Shiru now? Unless they get married within the next two days, I won't believe it!"
When the crowd saw the two hold hands as they walked together into the building, the crowd could not help but gossip.
At the same time, Lin Shiru pulled closer to Ye Xuan and squeezed his hand.
She felt embarrassed under the surprised gazes from the onlookers, but it was a happy embarrassment.
She felt free from her past, where she had to sneak around to be with Ye Xuan.
Now that it was official, they could walk confidently in front of the world as a couple.
Having their relationship public to the world was an entirely different feeling than sneaking around.
She felt the sense of security that she lacked before.
"Sacred Son Ye Xuan?"
As Lin Shiru and Ye Xuan entered the building, the people waiting inside the agency saw the two and was equally surprised as the people outside.
"Sacred Son Ye Xuan, are you guys?"
Some of the braver folks saw that Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru were holding hands and asked Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled at them.
Then he held Lin Shiru's hand up high and announced, "we are here for the same reasons as the rest of you. Getting married, taking our wedding photos and marriage certificate."
"Omg..."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's announcement, everyone in the building turned their attention to Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru.
"Sacred Son Ye Xuan, Vice Dean Shiru, you two must be in a hurry. Please come before us."
One couple waiting at the front of the line saw Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru and immediately gave away their spot.
"Alright, then I'll accept this kindly. We are getting married tomorrow, so we are indeed short on time." Ye Xuan accepted the spot with gratitude.
He nodded to the couple that gave up their spot and took Lin Shiru to the front.
When Lin Shiru saw everyone in the waiting room was staring at her and Ye Xuan, she did not speak and did her best to look composed.
She tried hard to conceal her shyness, but no one else was paying attention to her expression.
Everyone's thoughts lingered on what Ye Xuan had just said.
Did he just say they were getting married tomorrow?
"Snap snap!"
In front of the red curtains, both Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru put on a white shirt. They stood shoulder to shoulder. A handsome young man and his beautiful bride. Both smiled blissfully into the camera.
Under the guidance of the photographer, they captured this precious moment of happiness.
Then afterwards, all the necessary procedures were expedited.
It did not take long before the two each carried a small red-covered book out of the building.
"@Ye Xuan: Sacred Son, Please explain to us. Why did Jiangzhou University take down An Gucheng's body? Did something happen?"
Under Ye Xuan's Weibo, the An Gucheng incident still raged on.
Everyone wished that Jiangzhou University or Ye Xuan would come out and explain to the public why they had just put on An Gucheng's body a short while ago and now had taken it off.
They wanted to know if something catastrophic had happened.
"Bruh, you don't need to tag him anymore. Let me tell you. I just saw Ye Xuan. You would never have guessed where, and with whom."
"What? Where was he and who was he with?"
"Jiangzhou Marriage Agency. Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru walked in the building hand in hand, and that's not it. Ye Xuan announced himself that he is getting married to Lin Shiru tomorrow!"
"The heck! Spreading rumours are illegal man! You best be telling the truth!"
"Of course, of course. I wouldn't dare lie about this type of things."
While the netizens gossiped and discussed the validity of this rumour, Ye Xuan took his phone and captured the two little red books he just got with Lin Shiru and posted it to Weibo.
"She interrupted my plan of staying single forever."
"And yes, we are married."
"We just got our certificate, the wedding will be tomorrow."
"The rest of my life belongs to this one woman and this one woman only."
"Please give us your blessings and praises. Remember, we only take blessings and praises."
Ye Xuan captioned his post with the above messages and posted it to Weibo.
There were no other flowery speeches or emotional soliloquies.
Just this plain photo and a couple of explanatory sentences to accompany it.
Yet the moment this simple post was uploaded, the net blew up in reactions.
