Chapter 397: Lin Xiao’s Marriage (2)
"Well, Phoenix Inheritance is not long after the banquet, right? Once you get it, everyone will try to get you." Lin Xiao held a helpless expression.
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao. "You"re so confident that I"ll get it?"
"If not you, who else?"
In his eyes, the most suitable one for the Phoenix Inheritance will be Princess Lan Yi Hua. Besides, Lin Hu did look at this princess back then when he was talking about a large amount of ancient power.
Since Lan Yi Hua"s ancestor got Phoenix Blood, he thought that the power within her was not dragon power but instead Phoenix. Since she already had such affinity, it should be her who got the inheritance by the end of the ceremony.
"You"re really." Princess Lan Yi Hua put her hands around Lin Xiao and kissed him deeply. Of course, Lin Xiao would not waste this chance and responded before taking over, ravaging her mouth violently.
*cough* *cough*
"Brother, can you please jut get a room for yourself?" Lin Yun asked with a bitter smile. Did his brother forgot that he and Fan Ling were still following them?
Even though Lin Xiao was reluctant to release her, Princess Lan Yi Hua jabbed his stomach as if telling him to stop. He had to stop and then looked at his younger brother with a scowl. Couldn"t he just pretend that he didn"t see anything?
However, he could see that there were other people there, so he didn"t press the matter any longer.
"Anyway, I"ll come to your residence soon."
"En."
…
Their marriage was set two weeks afterwards in a simple ceremony. The reason why it was set to be simple was because Princess Lan Yi Hua didn"t want to bring her parents over for the ceremony. They never treated her as their daughter, so asking them to come was not really something she wanted.
Lin Xiao did as she wanted and the three princes helped him covered the matter. By the time the Emperor heard the news, it was already too late.
They had simply asked for permission by sending a letter to inform them about the matter.
"But really, I can"t believe that he only asked us to be the guests," Lu Jian commented when he saw the scarce people in Lin Xiao"s small residence.
Lin Yun pointed to the living room. "With so little s.p.a.ce, do you really think that they could invite a lot of people to come here?"
"Well, no."
"But it"s still so small!" Prince Lin San was not content with the arrangement. He thought that if it was Lin Xiao, the one who would become the Emperor, his wedding should have been very grand and lively. This wedding was just like a drop in a bucket and didn"t really attract that much news.
Well, the red decoration was everywhere, though.
That was the only indication that there was a wedding ceremony held in Lin Xiao"s residence at this time.
Lin Xiao was dressed in red robe. the color that was usually only reserved for royalty and during marriage. He brought Princess Lan Yi Hua came inside to his residence, which was actually also hers since they didn"t bother buying another one. Normally, the bride would be brought with carriage and following it, they did prepare it and used it, albeit only for a few breaths of time.
The groom brought the bride out then they would stand to perform the three bows. Since Lin Xiao"s parents have already pa.s.sed away, they used memorial stone while skipping the one for Princess Lan Yi Hua"s parents.
Afterwards, the two of them would head to the bridal chamber. Of course, Lin Xiao had to come out and be forced to drink by his friends first.
"Come on, time to drink a lot!" Lin Yun brought out a gla.s.s.
Lu Jian nodded. "We won"t let you off until you"re drunk!"
Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "Are you sure that you can make me drunk? Do you forget how cultivators are tolerant of alcohol?"
Even when they were still at Body Training, their body had developed some resistance to alcohol. Now that they were already at Golden Core Stage… how many gallons of wine would be needed to make Lin Xiao drunk?
The others couldn"t imagine it.
"Just drink." Prince Lin San finally shoved the wine. They had already bought some strong wine, but whether it would make Lin Xiao drunk was another question.
"Alright, alright."
Complying to the others, Lin Xiao kept on drinking. However, he could see that those at Foundation Establishment had gotten drunk first even though they didn"t drink as much as him.
In the end, even Lin Yun gave up when he felt a bit tipsy. "d.a.m.n you, your resistance is too high, Brother."
"That means you lack practice."
Fan Ling scoffed and then nudged Lin Yun, asking him to stop. He had already looked quite bad because of drinking and they still needed to stay alert, so getting drunk completely was out of the question.
Inside Lin Xiao, Lin Hu scoffed when he saw how Lin Xiao bluffed his way. The reason why he didn"t get drunk was because of the Nourishing Qi Technique, which was also useful to keep the body sober. It would also be effective against low level poison, which make it harder to poison Lin Xiao.
But of course, for some other poisons, he had to develop his own resistance first.
"I"ll be going then~."
Walking to the bridal chamber, he could see Princess Lan Yi Hua had been waiting for him. She was sitting patiently as he approached and tugged the veil open. Her breathtaking face was visible to his eyes as he smiled happily. A blush was also formed on her cheek as she looked back at him, her eyes were also smiling.
His hand moved to open the hairpin on her head before he kissed her deeply, unwilling to let her go. The two of them continued to entangle themselves on the bed as they enjoyed each other"s presence.
