Chapter 169 Meet
?
Gabriel danced with the middle-aged men until they finished.
Apparently after finishing, he suddenly coughed up blood while his aura became chaotic. The God of Life Light had to catch him before he fell, but people still saw his eyes closing slowly.
He had obviously fainted, and with so much embarrassment, it was impossible for the Sect of Light disciples to stay there.
They were too embarrassed to show their faces. They didn't need to be Gabriel to feel frustrated.
After that performance, now was the time to give gifts.
Unfortunately according to the rules of this continent, all gifts would be given to the bride, so it would be left to the people of the mansion.
However, ever since Ciel showed his power, the gifts given seemed to have exceeded expectations.
The geniuses of the major factions without hesitation gave one of their precious treasures as a gift.
If added up, it was probably no less than the dowry Yasmin had requested.
The woman had practically harvested a big harvest, she had gotten more treasures than the Peak Demigods could get in their entire lives.
"It's a great day," said Hala who suddenly came on stage. Her voice echoed so loudly that everyone could hear her.
When she appeared again, Ciel couldn't help but stare at the stage she was on.
He wondered if this wedding would start now.
His only hope now was that no more stupid things would delay the wedding.
"Prince, please come up to this stage!" Hala looked at Ciel and suddenly called out to him.
Hearing that, Ciel finally showed a smile.
"Come on Little Brother, now you're getting married," Rin said, patting Ciel on the back as he stood up.
Rin's confirmation made Ciel even more excited. He then walked to the stage at a moderate pace.
Slowly, he ascended it while occasionally glancing at the mansion, wondering when Yasmin would come out.
Quickly, he arrived beside Hala.
The latter said to him, "Prince, you will say your vows here, after which, you are officially Yasmin's husband."
"That's it?" Ciel was a little surprised.
"Yes, that's it, you can then visit Yasmin in her room," Hala replied.
"Wait, she's not coming?" asked Ciel, a little confused by the way this wedding was going because usually the groom and bride stood side by side.
"Of course, no. Here, you can't see your future wife or touch her before you're officially married to her. Basically, you just have to swear an oath in front of her house under everyone's witness." Hala explained.
"So that's it..." Ciel had no comment on their ways, and he thought it wasn't bad, it seemed like they were very serious about maintaining purity.
"Let's start now," he said.
"Okay, put your right hand on your chest," Hala replied.
Ciel did as she asked and showed a serious expression.
"Now follow my words," Hala continued.
"I swear in the name of the Eternal Desert Continent whose heat can dry the oceans, whose air can bring every evil to its knees, the merciless continent that beheads every enemy, that I promise to be the best of husbands for Yasmin."
Hala's words and how the continent was described surprised Ciel a little so he e glanced at her briefly.
It was a little arrogant, but they were indeed strong enough to be arrogant.
Ciel thoughtfully repeated Hala's words.
"I, Ciel, swear in the name of the Eternal Desert Continent whose heat can dry up the oceans, whose air can bring every evil to its knees, the merciless continent that beheads every enemy, that I promise to be the best of husbands for Yasmin."
To further emphasize his vow, Ciel deliberately mentioned his name.
Hala did not seem to mind, and even nodded with a faint smile.
"Congratulations, you are now officially Yasmin's husband, please meet her in her room," she said in a soft voice.
After her, the others began to congratulate one by one.
Ciel felt a little unprepared so he froze for a moment.
Fortunately, he felt very excited about this wedding.
After smiling, he stepped down from the stage, greeted by several young women who said they would escort him to Yasmin's room.
As he and the young ladies walked to the mansion, another performance began on the stage.
This time it was a show that everyone loved because it was a show where a group of young ladies danced together to pleasant music.
Ciel didn't care about that at all.
The inside of Yasmin's mansion was even more luxurious with a desert-style design where many of her own works were made of stone.
The staircase itself was made of a transparent red-colored stone array that faintly emitted light, giving the impression that it was a diamond.
Ciel was invited to climb the stairs because Yasmin's room was on the second floor.
Overall, the second floor was no different from the first floor except that there were many doors made of black wood there.
The most striking was a door that was three meters high and two meters wide with carved sand dunes.
Ciel didn't need to be told to know that it was the door to Yasmin's room because he could vaguely sense her presence from there.
Without waiting for the young ladies to say anything, he strode towards the door, leaving them behind.
At this point, he could feel the great thrill of marriage on this continent, the thrill of not being able to wait to see his own wife who he had never even met in person or chatted with.
It's a funny thing but a beautiful thing indeed.
Arriving in front of the door, it suddenly opened by itself, revealing the figure of Yasmin wearing a long white dress that was quite loose.
She still covered her face with a veil while the top of her head wore a transparent white shawl that covered half of her hair.
The fragrant scent of her body emanated and could be clearly felt, refreshing those who inhaled it.
Ciel's steps were not stopped by the door but by her figure.
Up close, he could see her forehead and eyes quite clearly.
Her skin was slightly whiter than most people on this continent, but still not as white as the people on the Ice Continent.
Whiteness was certainly not the determinant of beauty, structure and cleanliness were far more important.
Yasmin has both, her skin is very clean and her face has a structure that is considered the best by everyone.
"Welcome, Prince, please come in," she said in a very soft tone as their eyes met.
Ciel could not immediately respond or enter her room as he still had not observed her enough.
She seemed to be quite calm when talking to him.
"Do all women on this continent welcome their husbands in this way?" After a moment of silence, Ciel chose to ask first.
He needed a topic to talk to her about.
Yasmin's eyes blinked once after she heard his question, looking like she wasn't quite sure why he was asking it.
"It should be like that," she replied.
"Mmm, if it's like that, I suddenly want to marry all the women on this continent, it's very difficult to find a welcome like this elsewhere," Ciel said which made Yasmin's face freeze for a moment.
She then laughed softly and said, "Prince, you really know how to joke."
"Well, elsewhere I would be called a womanizer who is good at flirting," Ciel said in response.
Yasmin felt like laughing again, but she chose to hold it in.
After that, Ciel finally stepped into her room and made an observation.
It was a spacious and luxurious room with candles lit on each side of the walls.
A bed was located in the center, the transparent red mosquito netting of which was open.
Next to the window, there was a table with two chairs where there were two cups and a bottle of white water.
It was probably alcoholic water, but it was pure water.
Only, it seemed to contain a certain power so that the color became quite white.
"Prince, I have prepared the Holy Water of the Eternal Desert Continent for you, you should probably drink it," Yasmin said as Ciel stared at the bottle.
"Holy Water?" Ciel showed a look of confusion.
"This is something very rare, it comes from the Spring of Heaven hidden in the middle of the continent which means in the middle of the Seven Realms," Yasmin replied, explaining the origin of the water to Ciel.
"Until now, it has always been mysterious. The spring cannot be found by anyone, but the water, the Holy Water, sometimes appears in some places. Every time it appears, people will come to fight over it. Although drinking it did not have any special effect on one's cultivation, it was able to make the body feel refreshed for a long time. The people of the Eternal Desert Continent even believe that drinking it will keep us away from all filthy things."
Hearing that it could make one feel refreshed, Ciel could not help but smile slightly.
"Sure, let's have a drink first," he said before taking a step towards the table.
Yasmin followed suit, walking slightly behind him but still looking like they were walking side by side.
Even when walking, she was really careful, she tried not to get ahead of him even in her own room.
Ciel thought that this was one of the manners on this continent.
