The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"Me? No way! If I even had such a thought, my wife and mother-in-law would definitely skin me alive! No way!" Duan Fei refused outright.

"Since you can't even do it yourself, stop talking nonsense and just watch!" Yu Guili said coldly.

Duan Fei: "..."

"I think he just got lucky. Why should he get all the good things? He's bound to make a fool of himself at this wedding..."

Just then, melodious celestial music drifted from afar, signaling that the auspicious time for the wedding had arrived.

Chen Xuan rode a magnificent, snow-white mythical beast, dressed in a splendid red wedding robe. The gold embroidery on the robe shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight. He wore a golden crown inlaid with rare gems and walked toward the wedding venue with a dashing and heroic air.

Beside him, Long Qingwan and Ning Xinyou sat in beautifully decorated sedan chairs. Long Qingwan was dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, her eyes filled with happiness.

Ning Xinyou's makeup was exquisite, and even through the sedan curtain, her shy demeanor was still undeniable.

The three of them stood in the corner, watching Chen Xuan being surrounded by everyone, enjoying the attention and blessings from the crowd, and the flames of jealousy in their hearts flared up.

"Chen Xuan, just enjoy your smugness for now, let's see how long you can be so smug!"

"Dare to marry my woman? Let's see how long you live!"

"I'll remember this grudge..."

At the wedding, ethereal music filled the air, and colorful lights intertwined in the sky to form a dazzling light curtain, creating a dreamlike scene.

On the ground, the road paved with spirit crystals shimmered with dazzling light, like a galaxy fallen to earth.

The surrounding area was filled with guests, and representatives from various forces in the immortal realm were present. They were dressed in fine clothes, holding congratulatory gifts, and their faces were filled with smiles, some sincere and some polite.

As Chen Xuan rode his celestial beast, he moved slowly forward. Wherever he went, the crowds automatically parted, casting envious and admiring glances at him.

The celestial beast raised its head and roared, exuding majesty.

Surrounded by the crowd, the bridal sedan chair followed steadily behind Chen Xuan. The decorations on the sedan chair were exquisite, and every detail showed the Ning family's nobility.

Upon arriving at the wedding platform, Chen Xuan dismounted with agility.

He reached out and gently lifted the curtain of Long Qingwan's sedan chair. Long Qingwan stretched out her soft hand, placed it on Chen Xuan's hand, and slowly stepped out of the sedan chair.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with deep affection for Chen Xuan, so much so that she couldn't even be bothered with salt.

Then, Chen Xuan walked to Ning Xinyou's bridal sedan chair and greeted her in the same way.

With everyone present as witnesses, Chen Xuan, Long Qingwan, and Ning Xinyou completed their wedding ceremony.

After the ceremony, thunderous applause and cheers erupted, and colorful petals fell from the sky, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan took the hands of the two beauties and, amidst the blessings of the crowd, entered the bridal chamber.

Red candles flickered, brocade quilts and embroidered couches. Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan smiled at each other, their eyes filled with love.

Ning Xinyou's face also flushed red, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

Meanwhile, Yu Guili, Duan Fei, and Lin Feng stood at a distance, watching Chen Xuanru's expression, their hearts filled with mixed feelings.

Lin Feng's eyes held both complex feelings for his aunt and jealousy towards Chen Xuan.

Yu Guili was filled with resentment. He had originally thought that he was the protagonist of this wedding, but now he could only watch Chen Xuan enjoy it all.

"Let's go find a place to drink!" Yu Guili said through gritted teeth.

Lin Feng and Duan Fei exchanged a glance and nodded silently. The three of them went to a quiet tavern, ordered several jars of fine wine from the immortal realm, and drank them down one cup after another.

"Why is Chen Xuan so popular?!"

"That's right. If it weren't for the greater good, I wouldn't have let him go and marry her."

Lin Feng drank silently, without uttering a word.

He now feels some regret, but he can only feel helpless about having brought this matter to the forefront.

The three men drank and complained, piling the wine jars higher and higher, but their resentment seemed impossible to dissipate, creating a stark contrast with the lively wedding outside.

……

Inside the bridal chamber.

Looking at the flickering red candle, Ning Xinyou was still a little dazed.

She... just got married like that! And her nominal "husband" is currently embracing another woman... Hmm?

"What are you doing? Long Qingwan, we're just here to go through the motions, aren't we?"

Upon hearing this, Long Qingwan was slightly taken aback, and then a faint blush appeared on her face. She gently pushed Chen Xuan away, but her eyes were full of love.

Then, she looked at Ning Xinyou with tender eyes:

“Sister Xinyou, although we had previously agreed that it was just a formality, today, with so many guests as witnesses, Chen Lang and I have performed the wedding ceremony and become husband and wife.”

"Therefore, in my heart, I have already decided that I am Chen Lang's wife. From now on, my body and soul belong to him, and he is my reliance for this lifetime."

After saying that, she unconsciously stroked her hair, where a strand of hair from when she and Chen Xuan tied their hair together was still hidden, full of longing.

Ning Xinyou's eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment and disbelief. Her hands unconsciously gripped the hem of her clothes, and a faint, indescribable bitterness welled up in her heart.

She also had long, dark hair, but...

"But...but that's not what we agreed on beforehand..."

Ning Xinyou's voice lowered unconsciously, her eyes revealing a hint of panic and confusion, her gaze shifting back and forth between Long Qingwan and Chen Xuan.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan quickly stepped forward and looked at Ning Xinyou with a solemn expression:

“Sister-in-law... Miss Ning, Qingwan’s words are all from the bottom of her heart. But I also understand that you previously thought it was just a formality, and this change must be hard for you to accept.”

"So I will choose to respect your opinion. After all, we are family now and in the future, and I will never force you."

Ning Xinyou bit her lower lip slightly, her cheeks instantly turning crimson, and a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She lowered her head slightly, avoiding Chen Xuan's gaze, and whispered, "This, all of this happened so suddenly, I... I really wasn't prepared."

Upon hearing this, Long Qingwan stepped forward and gently took Ning Xinyou's hand:

“Xinyou, I know this is putting you in a difficult position. But Chen Lang is a man of great loyalty and integrity, worthy of your trust. Since I have already chosen him, I am willing to be with him wholeheartedly. In the days to come, if you are willing, we will walk hand in hand with Chen Lang. If you have other ideas, Chen Lang and I will certainly not force you.”

Ning Xinyou raised her head and looked at Long Qingwan and Chen Xuan, and the panic in her heart gradually subsided.

"Let me think about it some more. This matter is too important; I need time."

"Okay, Ms. Ning, we'll wait for you. Whatever decision you make, we'll respect it."

"Thank you..." Ning Xinyou whispered, but there was no response from Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan for a long time.

She couldn't help but look up, only to find that Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan had already arrived at the "battlefield" and lowered the curtain, so she could only see their reflections from outside.

Ning Xinyou felt both ashamed and annoyed, as well as confused.

What's embarrassing is the unabashed intimacy between the two people in front of me, and what's infuriating is that I seem to have been dragged into a complicated... situation.

She bit her lower lip, her gaze shifting back and forth between the reflections of Chen Xuan and Long Qingwan, trying to find a trace of falsehood in their images, but all she saw was "sincerity" and "deep affection".

Soon, her world expanded, Long Qingwan began to sing, and she gained more and more knowledge.

And so, Ning Xinyou waited and waited, but she never got to see the ending.

Moreover, holding the strands of hair she and Chen Xuan had tied together in her hands, she felt increasingly uneasy.

Clearly, clearly she also married Chen Xuan today...
