During the national mourning period, the Capital City government offices were draped with white banners and plain cloth, the streets all displayed a somber and desolate atmosphere.
Now all the white banners have been removed, replaced with splendid red silk, which billows like rosy clouds in the wind, resembling a sea of fiery red, as if the disaster has moved far away from them, and the entire Capital City is immersed in a festive atmosphere.
"Tsk, no wonder Duke Zhen Guo, such pomp is too extravagant, isn't it?"
"Speaking of which, why would someone like Mr. Chen marry that female demon?"
"Clearly a hero with merits in protecting the nation, yet forced to marry a usurper from a rebellious party, it's truly unjust!"
"Quiet, are you looking for trouble? What if they're in love with each other?"
"Do you really believe that yourself?"
"Hah, if you ask me, it's likely that Mr. Chen's achievements are overshadowing his superiors, and the court might use this to balance his power, while Consort Yu is surely up to something..."
Now, Chen Mo holds great prestige among the populace, not unlike a spiritual totem.
This is precisely why the common people are particularly opposed to this granted marriage, believing Chen Mo is certainly acting under duress, considering Yu Youhan has built an unshakeable 'reputation' over these years...
Dong——
Dong dong——
At this moment, the earth-shattering sound of drums and gongs echoed from afar, accompanied by celebratory music resonating in the sky.
"They've arrived!"
In the city, the streets were deserted as thousands gathered on the main street, some even climbing rooftops, eager to witness the passing of the wedding procession and catch a glimpse of Duke Zhen Guo's majestic demeanor.
However, after a long while, only the sound was heard and not the people.
Until someone pointed to the sky, exclaiming: "Look! They're up there!"
Everyone looked up and were instantly stunned —
There appeared five-colored clouds spreading like a carpet, carrying the wedding procession with gongs and drums.
Chen Mo, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, rode atop a high-spirited qilin, leading at the forefront, followed closely by a luxurious phoenix chariot and a parade of attendants holding parasols, stretching over several kilometers!
Before people could recover from their shock, a clear and piercing cry sounded.
The clouds churned like waves above, as a giant white dragon slowly emerged its head.
Its dragon horns were rugged and robust, the bearded mane billowed like silver threads in the wind, as its four claws extended, agile and vibrant.
Its entire body glistened with scales like white jade, unstained by any impurity, reflecting a gentle and clear light under the sun, unlike the terrifying Black Dragon from the past, it bore no sign of ferocity, its eyes were clear as cold stars, exuding both majesty and a hint of sacredness.
Boom——
Soon after, a fiery shooting star came from beyond the sky.
Upon closer inspection, it was a Vermilion Bird, completely ablaze in fiery red!
Its feather coat intertwined with golden red, blazing with celestial fire, its tail feathers spread like a radiant cape trailing behind, the air sizzling with heat as it passed, possessing the power to consume all and yet retaining the majestic grace of the king of birds!
The dragon and phoenix danced and circled around the wedding procession, creating dazzling rays of light.
"Is that, is that a phoenix?"
"Could it be I'm mistaken?"
"Auspicious, this is an auspicious sign!"
"With the qilin present, the dragon and phoenix showcasing their harmony, this is a sign of great fortune!"
The entire Tiandu City was instantly in an uproar!
