I've been transported to the orc continent.

Chapter 373 I've come to pick you up

Bai Ling had already figured out what to do. He assigned several older orcs to lead teams, with each team responsible for a specific task, so that things wouldn't get chaotic.

There were so many orcs attending the wedding, and so much work to be done. Almost the entire tribe of orcs came to help. One courtyard wasn't enough, so the courtyards of the neighbors on both sides were also used.

Tomorrow is the day of his wedding, and you can imagine how nervous and excited Bai Ling is. He really wants to find someone to comfort him, but with so many people around, he can't even pull Yue aside to whisper a secret.

The beastmen made snacks in the morning and noodles and stewed meat in the afternoon. By evening, Bai Ling and Yue's courtyard was still very lively.

The orcs who had helped had all gone home, leaving only the young orcs behind. They lit a bonfire in their courtyard, and the young orcs danced hand in hand around it. Bai Ling and Yue were surrounded by them, their faces flushed red by the firelight. They danced along with the orcs' songs, their eyes fixed on each other, a deep affection flowing between them.

Tomorrow is the day Bai Ling will marry Yue, but she feels like she's dreaming, having the sweetest dream imaginable.

So he refused to look at anyone else, staring intently at Yue's face, as if the moment he looked away, this incredibly real and beautiful dream would end.

The beastmen's songs grew louder again, and their dance moves became larger. Bai Ling and Yue also quickened their movements, bringing them even closer together.

Yue suddenly whispered, "It's not a dream."

Bai Ling was slightly taken aback. Before he could understand what those words meant, Yue had already distanced herself from him again.

A cool evening breeze blew through Bai Ling's hair and onto his face. After a moment of surprise, he quickly understood what Yue meant.

The moon actually knew what I was thinking!

As the two drew closer once more, Bai Ling asked in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Yue, how did you know what I was thinking?"

After they finished speaking, the two parted ways again.

Although they separated, their eyes remained locked. Yue swayed his arms to the song, and when they drew closer again, his eyes shone like burning flames: "I guessed."

Bai Ling usually sleeps very well, but this time she had insomnia.

He woke up countless times during the night, or rather, he never truly slept; he would only sleep for a short while before waking up again.

When he woke up, he looked out the window and saw that it was pitch black outside; it was clearly still the middle of the night.

He glanced out the window, then closed his eyes again. His body and soul were wide awake; he felt no sleepiness whatsoever.

Even if he couldn't sleep, Bai Ling forced himself to close his eyes. He needed to be in good spirits; tomorrow was his big day, and he couldn't afford to be listless and lethargic.

She would close her eyes, try to sleep for a while, then wake up, open her eyes, glance out the window, close her eyes again, try to doze off again, wake up again, and glance out the window... When Bai Ling woke up for what seemed like the umpteenth time, the sky outside seemed to be getting a little brighter.

Bai Ling changed into his wedding clothes. An elder from the clan helped him comb his hair, and then another elder stepped forward, holding a bowl of beast blood. He dipped his index finger into the blood and then pressed it onto Bai Ling's forehead.

Red bloodstains appeared on Bai Ling's forehead, and the orcs in the house began to chant ancient songs to bless the newlyweds.

The young beastmen were waiting in the courtyard. As soon as Bai Ling stepped out of the house, they surrounded him and led him towards the Yue family's direction.

The courtyard and streets of Bai Ling's house were full of people. These beastmen included members of the High Tree Tribe, members of surrounding tribes, and people who had come from afar to attend Bai Ling and Yue's wedding. Among them were many beastmen that Bai Ling did not even recognize.

Bai Ling was surrounded by a group of young orcs, with many more following behind. They cheered all the way to Yue's house.

At this moment, there was also a group of beastmen in Yue's house. When they saw Bai Ling arrive, several young beastmen ran into the house and shouted as soon as they entered, "Yue, Ling is here."

Yue, dressed in her wedding gown, sat in front of the mirror. Her heart, which had been racing, had strangely quieted down.

He saw through the window that Ling, dressed in a red wedding gown, with a big smile on her face, walked step by step into the courtyard surrounded by many orcs, then entered the house and walked step by step to him: "Yue, I've come to pick you up."

Yue seemed to be unable to hear anything, and his mind was slowing down. All he could see was the person wearing the same red wedding dress as him, with a dazzling smile.

Yuexia instinctively stood up and offered her hand.

His hand was held by a pair of warm, dry hands, and then he was led slowly out of the house.

Bai Ling entered the Yue family's house with great urgency.

He almost left the young orcs surrounding him behind. He walked through the noisy crowd, across the long courtyard, and finally arrived at the door.

As Bai Ling entered, he was thinking that he would soon see Yue. He wanted to greet Yue's father and father first, then thank the beastmen who came to help, and finally walk up to Yue, kneel down on one knee like a knight offering his loyalty to the king, hold Yue's hand and kiss it, and then ask Yue if she wanted to come with him.

But when he walked into the house and saw Yue sitting there waiting for him, all the plans he had made long ago vanished, leaving his mind like autumn leaves swept away by the wind.

Wearing a red wedding dress and a gold headdress made by him, Yue's usually aloof face became radiant and dazzling because of the makeup. His icy blue eyes were like a lake, rippling with gentle waves. At this moment, his eyes were looking at her, without a trace of shyness, only joy and anticipation.

Bai Ling's head was spinning, as if he had been drinking. He could only follow his instincts and walk forward, stretching out his hands to Yue and saying, "Yue, I've come to pick you up."

Yue obediently offered her hand and placed it in his palm.

Bai Ling immediately grasped Yue's hand. At that moment, Bai Ling felt it was real. He was finally, finally married Yue.

From that day forward, nothing and no one could ever separate them again.

Even in death, the two will be buried in the same grave; even as skeletons, their bodies will remain tightly intertwined.

Even if the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, we will never be apart.
