Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle-Chapter 240: Worship Heaven and Earth! (Seeking to Follow)
Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Worship Heaven and Earth! (Seeking to Follow)
Xiao Ye was utterly baffled. Yesterday, the three women bound him and firmly opposed him contracting a new Beast Girl, but today their attitude had dramatically changed. Not only did they not stop him, but they also took the initiative to lead him to the City Lord Mansion, and they seemed extremely excited and thrilled.
He kept his guard up.
After arriving at the City Lord Mansion, Xiao Ye was immediately whisked away by Mu Qingxue; he had no idea where the three women had gone, and he felt somewhat uneasy inside.
Mu Qingxue puffed up her face in anger and said, "How dare you, Xiao Ye, making me search so long for you, not answering calls? Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Xiao Ye pursed his lips; he nearly couldn’t make it here, okay.
"Hmph!" Mu Qingxue said arrogantly, "Hurry up and change clothes. We are about to pay respects to heaven and earth, and right after that, under everyone’s watch, we’ll solidify the contract. Consider yourself lucky to be entering into a contract with me, Mu Qingxue."
Xiao Ye furrowed his brows. He could’ve been left childless because of this wedding, and yet she had the nerve to act all high and mighty—it was infuriating.
With a ’bang!’, he kicked towards the unimpressive-looking skin drum.
Mu Qingxue staggered, almost falling, and said confusedly, "Are you trying to kill yourself?"
Xiao Ye gave her a disdainful glance and took the lead, saying, "Let’s hurry, don’t be late."
"Ah, that look again, it’s so irritating!" Mu Qingxue became angry.
Humph, in a few days, I will definitely make you look at me in a new light, make you drool!
Mu Qingxue stuck out her tongue and licked her lips. She had bought lots of papayas yesterday and ate dozens of kilos in one go; papayas were her breakfast today too.
She patted her flat chest, feeling quite confident.
"Darn it, wait for me!" Seeing Xiao Ye walking ahead, she hurried to catch up.
Half an hour later.
In the City Lord Mansion’s back garden, the area was quite extensive and extremely spacious. Flower beds were scattered around, and at this time of year, they were brimming with all sorts of bright, beautiful flowers, filling the air with a mild fragrance.
Between the flower beds, rows of seats had been arranged.
In front of the seats, on the stage, there were nine hundred and ninety-nine roses arranged in a heart shape.
By now, the rows of seats were filled with people of impressive presence, coming from various top base cities.
The Young Masters of major forces from Modu Base, including Hong Tao, Young Master Yun, Yang Junming, Cheng Yi, and others, were there; Yun Xi, the head of Kunpeng Academy, sat in the first row.
The wedding host chatted non-stop, then suddenly stretched out a hand in a welcoming gesture and laughed:
"Next, let’s welcome the groom and the bride."
As his words fell, on the garden stage’s side pathway, a couple in bright red wedding attire slowly walked hand in hand; the man handsome and extraordinary, the woman fresh and lovely like a lotus out of water. Both possessed an ethereal quality, a golden couple as if meant to be.
The man was indeed Xiao Ye; he held fresh flowers in one hand and the hand of Mu Qingxue, covered with a red veil, in the other, slowly approaching the stage, reaching the center of the heart formed by nine hundred and ninety-nine roses.
All eyes were on them, everyone’s gaze filled with blessings.
Mu Qingxue listened to the greetings and felt extremely satisfied and joyful inside.
But Xiao Ye felt differently; he was somewhat nervous as he looked through the crowd for the figures of Cheng Bingxi and the two other women.
Looking around, he realized that the three women weren’t in the crowd; instead, he saw the scowling face of Yun Xi, the academy head.
Unaccountably, Xiao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that the three women would mess things up in a fit of jealousy.
The host continued, "Next, we invite family members from both sides to come forward and take their seats on stage!"
Behind the heart-shaped roses on the stage, there were two rows of seats.
Mu Qingxue held her hands tightly, her heart tense. This was the first time meeting Xiao Ye’s family, and under such circumstances, she definitely wanted to make a good impression on her husband’s family.
Under everyone’s gaze.
From the bride’s side, Mu Qingxue’s family, Mu Cheng, and Song Xier entered and after greeting, took their seats on the stage.
From the groom’s side, under Xiao Ye’s astonished gaze.
Cheng Bingxi, Nangong Siyan, and Liu Ya proudly held their heads high, their faces full of excitement as they approached the stage from the side pathway, greeted, and then took seats in the other row.
???
Xiao Ye’s face covered in question marks, how come they ended up sitting there, and on what basis did they sit there?
Beneath the high platform, the crowd was also bewildered. Where are the groom’s parents? Why are all three such young and beautiful peerless beauties?
The host revealed the mystery with a smile:
"These are the bride’s parents, Lord Mu and Mrs. Song."
"And the groom’s..."
Suddenly the host paused, astonished: "The groom’s Lady Cheng, Second Madam Nangong, Third Madam Liu!"
"Then, under the witness of everyone present, the bride and groom will pay respects to heaven and earth, and to the family elders."
Wow!
The crowd below exploded in shock and astonishment.
"Holy shit, three madams? So, three wives!"
"No, four, there’s one more currently offering respects to heaven and earth."
"What? Instead of paying respects to the parents, you pay respects to the first wife, the second wife, and the third wife?"
"Really an eye-opener, looks like the Beast Girl era can still play out like this."
Below the stage there was an uproar, and those on the stage were also shocked.
Xiao Ye’s eyelids twitched, so it turns out you seated yourselves as the first, second, and third madams!
Mu Qingxue trembled with anger, on her own wedding day, it was essentially telling everyone that she was the fourth young madam, the fifth participant.
Lord Mu’s face darkened, barely able to maintain his composure, but he had no choice but to accept it all after being warned by his ancestors.
Xiao Ye transmitted a message to Mu Qingxue: "Are you angry? You should be. It’s not too late to back out while we haven’t made the contract yet. After the contract is made, you’ll have no freedom, and all household chores will fall on you as the hardworking Fourth Young Madam. Otherwise, you will be suppressed by the three senior madams."
Mu Qingxue clenched her teeth, beneath her head covering, her face showed conflict and she unusually stayed silent.
Xiao Ye’s voice transmitted to her: "Where did your proud energy go?!"
"Not so arrogant now? No longer proud?"
"If you don’t want to make a contract with me, no one can force you, whether it’s your parents or your family elders."
"Hey, girl, are you listening to me?"
Mu Qingxue finally spoke out, gritting her teeth and enunciating every word: "Stop talking, I am willing to make the contract with you, willing to be your Fourth Young Madam."
The host began to speak.
"Now, we invite the groom and bride, first, to pay respects to heaven and earth."
"Second, pay respects to the family elders."
"Third, the couple pays respects to each other."
No need to kneel, bowing was sufficient.
Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue bowed to heaven and earth, that is to the ancestors.
Above, a silver-haired elderly man and a silver-haired old woman watching over smiled kindly.
Then, Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue bowed to the family elders, to the parents.
Since the groom’s parents were absent, Xiao Ye just bowed to the bride’s parents; Lord Mu gloomily nodded to Xiao Ye.
However, Mu Qingxue had to bow to Cheng Bingxi and the two other women, bowing three times, each time bending at ninety degrees.
Cheng Bingxi clapped excitedly, "Very good, Qingxue, when we return I’ll give you a big red envelope."
Mu Qingxue shivered.
The third respect was the exchange between the couple.
Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue bowed to each other.
The host smiled and said: "Next, we come to the final stage, which everyone is most concerned about - the oath, making the contract, and the wedding chamber."
"So..."
