Chapter 1292 The dumbfounded Dugu Bai
Soft Feather, I’m still young. I don’t want to die just yet~
Song Shuhang remembered that when Doudou’s wedding date was announced, he had gone to check the Chinese calendar. Afterward, he found that the Autumn Equinox was also on September 23, 2019. It was a day fitting for burying the dead but not for marriage.
He had also mentioned this to True Monarch Yellow Mountain.
However, True Monarch Yellow Mountain said that he had gotten a senior to divine for him, discovering that Doudou’s wedding was best held on the 23rd.
‘Fitting for burying the dead’… it means that today is a good day for one to die.
However, I don’t want to die yet. I’m still young!
“Silly Doudou.” However, Fairy Lychee did not get angry. Instead, she simply patted Doudou’s head vigorously, before walking out of the house whilst holding him.
Song Shuhang was relieved. Fortunately, Fairy Lychee did not rebuke them. Moreover, she seemed to be in a very good mood.
Outside the house.
The greeting team from the bridegroom’s side was already ready. A gigantic golden palanquin was parked right outside the house.
It was so big that it would require two hundred people just to carry it, while a hundred people to pull it. There were sixty-six steps in front of the platform, and at the four corners, which faced the four cardinal directions, were four golden statues of a Pekingese.
The puppets that were employed to carry the palanquin were all dressed in festive clothing and appeared very lifelike.
Everything was proceeding according to the future Shuhang had seen when he entered the dreamland of the ‘ugly crocodile’.
If things were to develop as they should, Doudou would eventually sit on this golden platform and get married.
Song Shuhang remembered that when he was in that dreamland, he was initially watching the scene of Doudou’s wedding from the standpoint of a bystander. But while he was looking at him, he suddenly s.h.i.+fted positions and replaced Doudou on the golden platform and got married.
At that time, he had been greatly taken aback as he thought that it was he who would be getting married instead of Doudou.
Now, it appeared that he had been worried for nothing.
It was still Doudou who was going to get married.
Wait, that isn’t right. Although the one getting married is Doudou, my consciousness is still inside his body.
I see, so this is what that future was about…
Never would I have expected that Senior White would gain the ability to swap consciousnesses.
❄️❄️❄️
Fairy Lychee held Doudou and placed him onto the golden platform.
Then, Soft Feather took control of Doudou’s body and climbed the steps.
Fairy Lychee said gently, “Time went by so fast.”
When True Monarch Yellow Mountain adopted Doudou, he was only the size of a palm; yet in the blink of an eye, Doudou was already at the Fourth Stage Realm and was soon going to be married.
She gently patted Doudou’s head and said, “Go on, Doudou.”
Soft Feather said, “Goodbye, Elder Sister Lychee.”
At the same time, inside the sea of consciousness, Soft Feather said to Song Shuhang and Su Clan’s Sixteen, [Senior Song, Sixteen, did you feel that? Elder Sister Lychee’s chest turned out to be much fuller than expected. Previously, when I saw her picture, I didn’t think her chest was this big.]
Song Shuhang: […] What am I supposed to say here?
Su Clan’s Sixteen: [As a female pract.i.tioner’s strength improves, their body would also develop a little bit. This goes not only for Fairy Lychee, but also for other female pract.i.tioners.]
Soft Feather: [So that’s the case.]
Song Shuhang: [Soft Feather, it would be best for you to just keep that thought in your mind and avoid talking about it in front of Fairy Lychee.]
Soft Feather: [Senior Song, I’m not Senior Thrice Reckless.]
Song Shuhang: [It’s now Frice Reckless.]
[I feel that after changing to Frice Reckless, Senior Thrice Reckless’s tendency to seek death has become more intense.] After saying that, she controlled Doudou’s body and walked towards the center of the palanquin with graceful steps, firmly sitting at the center of the platform.
After doing so, her eyes wandered about.
Soft Feather said softly, “Eh? This is a nice feeling.”
As she sat on the huge golden platform, it was as if she was an empress going on a tour; it felt so cool.
She immediately grew fond of this feeling.
Soft Feather continued, “When I get married in the future, I must also sit on a golden palanquin like this one.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen smiled and said, “Soft Feather, is there someone who you want to marry?”
Soft Feather replied, “Father said that he’d find me a man who would take care of his daughter just like him. That way, his granddaughter would not be bullied in the future. Hahahaha.”
Su Clan’s Sixteen: “…”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly seems to have thought quite far ahead.
At this time, the sound of firecrackers bursting resounded.
Following that, a group of men dressed in red gathered to the front of the golden platform, before bringing out all kinds of musical instruments and playing them. Meanwhile, there was another person who was holding a long barrel-shaped weapon and releasing sh.e.l.l after sh.e.l.l into the air. The sound that was similar to firecrackers was coming from this instrument.
This was a professional greeting team.
As the music reverberated, the huge golden platform slowly moved forward.
Fairy Lychee took the bridesmaid group and boarded the immortal boat that had been specially prepared by True Monarch Yellow Mountain. The immortal boat followed behind the golden platform.
After the gold platform moved forward for more than 100 meters, it stopped.
In front of it was a large group of fellow daoists from the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ waiting there.
Song Shuhang asked curiously, “What’s going on?”
Su Clan’s Sixteen explained, “This should be a custom of True Monarch Yellow Mountain’s family. When the bride is sent for marriage, people of our side have to move the palanquin for a hundred meters and then give the gifts and the blessings to the bride.”
Song Shuhang asked, “Is it really okay to accept the blessings? Wouldn’t it be better if it was actually Doudou receiving them?”
Su Clan’s Sixteen replied, “Well, it appears that Doudou is going to miss the blessings.”
Soft Feather said, “Senior Song, Sixteen, quiet down. I can’t concentrate. I’ll have to pay special attention to how I act.”
Fairy Creation said, “Yayaya, lalala~ heh!”
Song Shuhang said, “Let’s pray that Fairy Creation doesn’t mess things up during the important moments.”
The golden platform gradually came to a stop.
The fellow daoists from the Nine Provinces Number One Group moved forward and began to give Doudou the gifts they had prepared.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator was the first to step forward. He stepped onto the golden platform and brought out a cosmos bag, handing it to ‘Doudou’. “Inside the bag is a modified hand-guided tractor with speed like no other. I even invited the other fellow daoists of the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’ to help out during the modification process. Doudou, may you have a happy marriage. This time, you really shouldn’t run away from this wedding, the bridegroom will definitely shock you.”
“Shock me? Why?” Soft Feather took the cosmos bag and asked again, “Eh? Senior Northern River, is the cosmos bag part of the gift?”
She remembered that cosmos bags were very expensive.
“This bag was lent to us by True Monarch Yellow Mountain for the gifts. Otherwise, I don’t think I could have just brought over the hand-guided tractor.” Northern River’s Loose Cultivator patted Doudou’s head and smiled.
Afterward, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, Dharma King Creation, and the other fellow daoists also came forward, handing over the cosmos bags that held their gifts.
After that, there was Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman, who was wearing a cool black windbreaker.
Soft Feather asked, “Senior Seven Lives Talisman, did you meet with Senior Song today?”
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman was puzzled. “Senior Song? Who?”
Soft Feather said, “Senior Song Shuhang. Earlier, in the group, didn’t you say that you were going to give him a bunch of materials to repair a puppet?”
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman was dumbfounded. Why is Doudou addressing little friend Song Shuhang as ‘Senior Song’?
Did Doudou’s brain get damaged due to this ‘forced marriage’?
Soft Feather had already made a mistake while acting.
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman said, “Little friend Song should still be busy, so I’ll see him after the wedding.”
At the same time, a sudden realization came to his mind. In the ‘Nine Provinces Number One Group’, wasn’t it only Soft Feather who addressed little friend Song Shuhang as ‘Senior Song’?
Could it be that it isn’t Doudou who’s in front of me?
As he thought of this, Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman turned around and waved. “See you later, Soft Feather.”
Soft Feather said, “See you, Senior Seven Lives Talisman.”
Song Shuhang: “…”
Su Clan’s Sixteen: “…”
Palace Master Seven Lives Talisman: “…”
Heavens, it really is Soft Feather.
Since the ‘Doudou’ in front of me is a fake, where is the real Doudou?
In addition, Soft Feather had actually disguised herself as Doudou to attend the wedding. Does Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly know about this?
Fellow Daoist Seven Lives Talisman began panicking.
After him came True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon.
True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon’s gift wasn’t packed inside a cosmos bag but a water tank instead.
“Here, Doudou. This is my gift for you, it’s a Chu Chu.” True Monarch handed over a water tank with a big fish inside it.
The fish wore a sad look.
Song Shuhang remembered that this fish was called ‘blobfish’.
Soft Feather said, “Thank you, Senior Tyrant Flood Dragon. Is this fish delicious?”
“Delicious?” True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon froze and said, “Doudou, do you want to eat her? This monster fish is called Chu Chu!”
Soft Feather: “…”
Song Shuhang couldn’t bear to continue watching anymore and said, [Pretend to be happy. Did you forget that Doudou’s a Chu Chu-con? After receiving a monster fish called Chu Chu, Doudou would definitely be very happy.]
Soft Feather squeezed out a smile and said, “Thank you, Senior Tyrant Flood Dragon. I like it very much!”
True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon nodded, before leaving with a puzzled face.
For some reason, I feel like there’s something wrong with Doudou.
❄️❄️❄️
After the gifts were delivered, the golden platform was once again lifted by the puppets and moved forward steadily.
The professional greeting team in front began to play and sing again.
As for the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, they went back into the immortal boats and followed behind the rest.
They’d already eaten some food at True Monarch Yellow Mountain’s place, but that was merely an appetizer. After arriving at the bridegroom’s place, there would be an even more delicious feast waiting for them. The dishes would be prepared by a famous immortal chef in the world of cultivation.
At this time, the bridal greeting team rose into the sky. All of them were cultivators that were at or above the Fourth Stage, and they each had flying swords.
The team flew faster and faster, and the puppets that were carrying the golden platform accelerated as well.
Soft Feather’s eyes brightened.
This feeling was wonderful.
❄️❄️❄️
The team flew further and further away, and even the immortal boats in the rear were left behind a little.
But right at this moment, a large net suddenly appeared in the airs.p.a.ce right above them. At the same time, a shadow appeared covered the entire golden platform.
Zhou Li laughed and said, “Hahaha, Dugu Bai, Daoist Green Jujube, White Blade Swordsman, Fairy Fallen Flower, it seems you were unable to restrain yourselves and have made your move.”
Unfortunately for them, he had long prepared for this; he was not going to let these guys ruin Doudou’s wedding!
Meanwhile…
Dugu Bai, who was still hiding, was dumbfounded. We still have to make our move!
