Chapter 1598: Chapter 1457 Wedding (Part 1)

Chu Mu walked forward, a smile on his face, not caring about the pedestrians coming and going around him, as he embraced her.

“Ah, so this young lady was waiting for him! This young man really made the girl wait here for two days,” an elder who often moved around the City gate said as he saw the couple embrace, a smile appearing on his face.

People around them also cast envious glances their way; they did not know that these two were the King and Queen of New Moon Land; to them, they were just a perfect couple.

Chu Mu lowered his head and tenderly kissed her lips.

Ye Qingzi’s lips did not have any lipstick, the pink tint blending with a touch of redness, soft, fragrant, and slightly moist, feeling like a droplet of dew in the summer with just a light suck.

“Have you been waiting long?” Chu Mu asked.

Ye Qingzi shook her head, her clear eyes showing a bit of dependency and infatuation with Chu Mu.

The two had been together for a long time, but for some reason, that sentiment of indulgent affection had never faded; whenever they were apart for a while, Chu Mu would urgently wish to see her.

Chu Mu helped smooth her slightly messy hair, taking her hand, “Let’s go. Next, we have plenty of time to create a little Chu Mu or little Qingzi.”

While Ye Qingzi was still immersed in that pure feeling, his words suddenly broke the mood, and she couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Chu Mu, saying, “Just like the first time I met you, huh, always scheming!”

“Knowing that, you still fell for it?” Chu Mu said with a smile.

Seeing Ye Qingzi feigning anger, Chu Mu knew he had taken advantage but still acted cute, and changed the topic, “What made you think of waiting for me here?”

“I was thinking, if we hadn’t met in this city and then traveled together, would we now be strangers, living two completely separate lives… It’s scary just thinking about it.” Ye Qingzi clung tightly to Chu Mu’s arm, holding on as if afraid of losing him.

Chu Mu glanced at the city around him, very ordinary and bland, but for Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi, it held profound significance. It was here that they started everything, underwent various experiences, and finally stepped into the hall of marriage. Without this city, during this season changing from spring to summer, would they still be lost and lonely?

Birch Forest, Garden, World City, maybe these places were testament to the elevation of their love, but Ye Qingzi was more grateful for the inconspicuous Cold Pool City, thankful that it allowed her to meet Chu Mu.

Ye Qingzi’s words deeply touched Chu Mu’s heart.

Everyone’s other half just happens to appear at some moment; from being complete strangers to knowing each other by heart, the process of falling in love is beautiful. The point of their meeting?

It could easily have been just a missed connection, the lonely self-still unaware in confusion.

Ye Qingzi was not making these pointless worries so instead, she felt more fortunate and grateful.

“Let’s go, everyone is waiting for us.” After a while, Ye Qingzi smiled, setting aside these emotions.

At least now, they were heading toward fulfillment, which was the outcome both desired.

“Yeah.” Chu Mu nodded.

Saying this, Chu Mu suddenly swooped her up in his arms, saying, “I’m carrying you.”

Ye Qingzi’s cheeks flushed with shyness because many people inside the City gate were watching them, something she hadn’t noticed due to being too engrossed before.

But being adored is always blissful; Ye Qingzi wrapped her arms around Chu Mu’s neck, pressing her cheek against his chest, letting him carry her like this in public.

Chu Mu’s body slowly floated upward, suddenly turning into a dark streak of light, tracing a stunning trajectory across the boundless blue sky and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Near the gate of Cold Pool City, many people were watching Chu Mu and Ye Qingzi. When they saw the couple suddenly fly off into the clouds, they were even more amazed, staring dumbfounded into the distance.

…

The city of Purple Cluster Flowers was filled with a romantic purple haze, and its unique fragrance even reached travelers new to the Earth Realm of Wanxiang City miles away from the city.

With such decorations, Wanxiang City was less solemn and imposing, resembling more an elegant and magnificent lady–dignified, beautiful, and enchanting…

Chu Mu’s flying speed was very fast; it didn’t take much time to travel from Cold Pool City to Wanxiang City.

However, they were not in a hurry to return to Wanxiang City; after all, the wedding was the day after tomorrow.

Chu Mu carried Ye Qingzi, and the two, relying on their memories, set off from Cold Pool City, retracing the roads traveled during their journey, stopping in every city they had passed, staying at each mysterious realm they had visited, every forest traversed, and every river they crossed…

At any place that could evoke their beautiful memories, they would share passionate kisses.

In an unknown small town, in the Stone chamber of the Great Chu Noble Family, under the majestic Heavenly Boundary Monument, in Langhe City of the Western World, in the stone-rich Colorful Dome City, in the Li City Courtyard outside the Boundary, on the streets of World City…

The more they reminisced, the deeper they fell in love.

Finally, when they returned to Wanxiang City, after three days of honeymoon-like passionate kissing, seeing the entire city decorated with Purple Cluster Flowers to bless their relationship brought their feelings from those three days to another climax.

Ye Qingzi wept with joy in Chu Mu’s arms because before she left Wanxiang City, it had been the same as usual. When Chu Mu brought her back, suddenly everyone was celebrating her.

“Crying like this, you have to be careful that you won’t be able to put on makeup, everyone is waiting for us in Wanxiang Plaza,” Chu Mu said to Ye Qingzi.

Suddenly, Ye Qingzi felt a lack of courage; up ahead in the plaza, there was a dense crowd and a beautiful purple Sea of Flowers. Then, a long purple carpet led up the sacred and elegant wedding altar staircase, rising step by step to the Moon Gazing Terrace!

“Mm, mm.” Ye Qingzi quickly stopped crying. What was coming next was the most important moment of her life; she couldn’t let Chu Mu see her with tear-stained cheeks.

…

Upon returning to the palace, Ye Qingzi was promptly pushed by Liu Binglan’s servant girls into a room decorated as if it were a dreamland, beginning the process of bathing and changing her attire.

Chu Mu, as the groom, naturally had to bathe and change his clothes as well.

After bathing, Liu Binglan personally took care of dressing Chu Mu in the groom’s attire.

The groom’s attire followed the customs of Xiangrong City, composed of passionate, fiery red garments.

This red attire for the groom wasn’t overloaded with unnecessary and complicated decorations; it was neat yet luxurious. Keeping in mind Chu Mu’s special status as a king, the attire included a king’s shawl and a coat to display his majestic and noble spirit brilliantly enhanced by the fiery red of the sun, exquisitely presenting the vigorous masculinity.

“Take a look in the mirror,” Liu Binglan said with a smile.

This was the first time Liu Binglan, having been a mother for so long, dressed Chu Mu herself.

When Chu Mu was small, he was cared for by servant girls near Liu Binglan. Although she wanted to dress him, she probably would have ended up stuffing his little head through the sleeve of a shirt.

Later, Chu Tianmang took over his care, leaving Liu Binglan no chance to dress him. Once Chu Mu grew up, needless to say, Liu Binglan dressing him would have made things awkward for both.

But today, on this special day, Liu Binglan insisted on dressing Chu Mu herself in the attire that she had meticulously supervised and tailored, even rehearsing with the servant girls for the occasion.

Liu Binglan was very careful. Her slender, gentle hands were not as skilled as those of the servant girls, but she managed to help Chu Mu into his groom’s attire anyway. Gazing at Chu Mu, dignified and dashing, Liu Binglan was filled with pride.

From a plump little baby in swaddling clothes, to a toddling child, then to a slightly intimidated teenager, and later a composed and persistent youth, and now a king of the younger generation…

Watching him in his wedding outfit, the images of Chu Mu from childhood to adulthood kept flashing and changing in Liu Binglan’s mind. Unintentionally, her eyes gradually moistened with joy and emotion.

“Mom, why are you crying too?” Chu Mu could not comprehend Liu Binglan’s emotions and did not know how to comfort her.

Liu Binglan gently wiped away her tears, the smile on her face tender and touching. Now, she wasn’t the ‘Cold Beauty’, just a mother delightedly watching her son grow up and build a family.

“Mom will also get ready,” said Liu Binglan, as she needed to appear at the wedding alongside Chu Mu and required some dressing herself.

Chu Mu, now separated by a distance from Ye Qingzi, found his thoughts constantly drifting there.

The servant girls all left, and Chu Mu was alone in the room, quietly waiting.

The appointed time had not yet arrived, so Chu Mu had to wait a while longer.

A few moments later, the door was gently pushed open.

“Is it time yet?” Chu Mu, somewhat excited, immediately stood up from his chair.

“Not yet,” a crisp female voice floated in.

The lady walked with a gentle grace past the screen and immediately set her eyes on the impressive and dashing Chu Mu, her expression visibly changing.

“Qingyi, what brings you here?” Chu Mu was surprised, the person who had walked in was Mu Qingyi.

“You look very good,” Mu Qingyi regained her composure and smiled in approval.

“It’s rare to hear Goddess Mu giving compliments,” Chu Mu smiled in response.

“Qingzi needs more time to prepare, so I thought I’d come here to see how you’re doing,” said Mu Qingyi, seemingly making an excuse.

Today, Mu Qingyi was also evidently spruced up, her shiny black hair elegantly pinned up, revealing her smooth and full skin through the thin gold attire, her tall, full-bodied, and mature figure always arousing a whirl of thoughts.

“How’s everything in Divine Sect?” Chu Mu inquired.

Mu Qingyi’s personality suited the Divine Sect well; she had an air of righteousness and was decisive against enemies, Chu Mu believed she could secure her own position in Divine Sect.

“It’s alright, I’m overseeing the boundaries of Our New Moon Land nearby, I’m usually in Wanxiang City if nothing urgent comes up,” Mu Qingyi spoke.

Just as Chu Mu was about to speak, Mu Qingyi seemed to notice something, stepping closer to Chu Mu and said, “There’s a wrinkle on your shoulder, let me fix it for you.”

Chu Mu nodded and stood still. As Mu Qingyi approached, Chu Mu could smell her unique fragrance and accidentally glimpsed the fair skin inside her collar.

Chu Mu’s glance was unintentional, and he quickly adjusted his gaze.

Unluckily, his eyes met Mu Qingyi’s, which were bright but carried a hint of sadness.

She kept approaching, and Chu Mu could even smell the fragrance of her breath.

Suddenly, her lips came close and lightly kissed the corner of Chu Mu’s lips.

The touch was a bit cool and soft, Chu Mu stunned, not at all expecting Mu Qingyi to kiss him.

“Wish you happiness.”

Mu Qingyi’s eyes didn’t waver, her expression determined.

The kiss was simple, without further action.

After saying that, Mu Qingyi, with a self-mocking smile, turned and left, leaving a room filled with her fragrance and the cool sensation on the corner of Chu Mu’s lips. (To be continued.
