Luye said distractedly, "Yes, yes, the ceremony is about to begin."
Seeing Luye's stunned expression, Aisha and Emma's eyes revealed pride and self-satisfaction. They had been speechless with amazement when they first saw Shu Yue dressed like this, let alone others.
They bet that once they reached the square, everyone would be mesmerized by Shu Yue!
Shu Yue didn't fuss with her hair. She simply washed it clean, combed a strand from her temples back, tied two strands at the back with a knot using a small red flower with a long stem to keep her hair from flying, and finally put on the flower crown.
Fearing she wouldn't look spirited enough, she also smeared a bit of flower nectar on her lips, adding a touch of allure to her delicate features with her red lips.
Her hands were already fair, and with the flower crown on her wrists, they appeared even more fair and beautiful.
As soon as Shu Yue appeared in the sight of her tribesmen, it was just as Aisha and Emma had predicted; the square fell silent.
Miao Xiaocui, who arrived later, was completely ignored, her thunder stolen. She gnashed her teeth in hatred!
Wente stared, dumbfounded. This, was this his Yue Yue?
His feet seemed rooted to the spot, unable to move.
Shu Yue felt a rare shyness. What was this? If she were in Huaxia, she would have been several times more dazzling dressed up like this!
Unfortunately, the conditions didn't allow for it.
"Yue Yue?" Wente called out cautiously.
Shu Yue chuckled and walked over to the beastman, "Don't you recognize me?"
Wente pulled her tightly into his embrace, his hot breath fanning her neck. He heard the other person whisper, "Yue Yue, you look so beautiful today, I... my pants are too tight and uncomfortable..."
"..." Shu Yue playfully smacked him!
With so many people around, was this beastman trying to embarrass her!
Wente let out a wronged sigh, "Yue Yue, don't go yet, let me calm down." Only the Beast God knew how much he wanted to violently tear off this beautiful garment... and then possess her!
The scene of the two embracing brought the tribesmen back to their senses, and they began to exclaim, "Shu Yue is so beautiful today!"
Guo Guo and Ya Ya stared blankly at the stage. They had thought it looked beautiful when making the clothes yesterday, but they never expected it to look so stunning when worn!
They were falling in love with Shu Yue!
No, when they get married, they would have Shu Yue dress them up too; they wanted to be this beautiful!
After regaining his senses, Yin Xiao went to hold Miao Xiaocui's hand, looking at Cui carefully before praising her, "Cui, you look very beautiful today too."
Miao Xiaocui, however, turned pale. Why use "too"!
Today, Shu Yue was like the clouds in the sky, making her appear like the mud on the ground. If only she had known... if only she had known she shouldn't have chosen the same day!
But it was too late to regret it now.
Cang Lang and Xiong Qi, standing in the crowd, watched with unblinking eyes. If anyone had noticed them at this moment, they would have seen the struggle of unrequited love and the heartache in their eyes.
The witch doctor cleared his throat, reminding the male present that it wasn't yet time for the bridal chamber and not to disrupt the mating ceremony!
Receiving this signal, Wente reluctantly released the female and blocked her with his body, not allowing anyone else to see her.
"..."
Shu Yue silently walked out from behind the beastman. Today was their wedding day; what was she hiding behind him for!
She wanted to step out and let everyone see, and ideally, let her parents in the other world see that their daughter was getting married today...
The witch doctor smiled, his voice hoarse and ancient, "Are you all ready?"
Wente suppressed the urge to carry the female away and replied, "Ready."
Yin Xiao and Da Sen also held Miao Xiaocui, facing the tribesmen, "We are also ready."
Seeing they were ready, the witch doctor announced, "Then let the mating ceremony begin."
The mating ceremony on the Beastman Continent was divided into three stages. The first stage was the bride-snatching, which involved challenging the male. If anyone was dissatisfied or also liked the female, they could challenge the male.
If the challenge was won, the female could change her mind on the spot, or remain unchanged. However, the prospective mate who lost would lose face.
If the challenge was lost, the ceremony would continue.
However, on the day of the mating ceremony, there were generally no malicious challenges to snatch the female; the beastmen would stop at a reasonable point.
Upon hearing the witch doctor's announcement, the beastmen below began to rub their hands, intending to give the males on stage a good beating. Of course, Wente was an exception; fighting and seeking abuse were two different matters.
Bah looked at the restless young males and roared with joy, "Bride-snatching begins!"
"Roar!!!" The beastmen roared excitedly.
Immediately after, Miao Xiaocui saw one, two, three... and then dozens of males surrounded them.
Shu Yue watched the lively scene and teased the beastman beside her, "Wente, no one dares to challenge you~"
Wente was feeling stifled and urgently needed a fight to vent his frustration. He shouted at the group of beastmen, "Send a few over."
The males: "..." They couldn't hear him!
They hurriedly urged Yin Xiao and Da Sen, "Hurry up and come down, or we won't snatch anymore, and Wente will come over!"
Yin Xiao, Da Sen: "..." Felt insulted?
Wente: "..." A bunch of cowards!
Miao Xiaocui dug her fingernails into her palms, no one knowing what she was thinking.
Yin Xiao and Da Sen jumped down angrily, "Wente is not to be trifled with, but are we easy to bully?!"
"Today we'll teach you a lesson and make you remember!"
Before Wente appeared, they were the tribe's first and second warriors, and not everyone could provoke them!
Dozens of beastmen surrounded Yin Xiao and Da Sen, and a brawl officially began.
Miao Xiaocui watched helplessly on the stage, worried that if the two were injured, how would the mating ceremony proceed?
Luye saw her worry and leaned over to whisper to her, "Cui, don't worry, Yin Xiao and Da Sen won't get hurt. Everyone has a sense of proportion."
Miao Xiaocui gave a soft "mm," her lifted heart finally settling. Her gaze drifted resentfully towards Wente, whom no one dared to provoke.
She couldn't quite describe the feeling in her heart. She was a messenger of the Beast God, so why didn't Wente like her!
If only Wente could like her...
Miao Xiaocui's expression took on a hint of melancholy. Fortunately, no one noticed her; everyone was watching Yin Xiao and Da Sen being ganged up on.
Their faces were already bruised. After all, two people could not withstand a mob beating; it was strange not to get injured. Even Wente wouldn't dare to claim he could face so many people without taking a single punch.
Only single males were allowed to participate in the bride-snatching. Others were cheering them on, "Beat them, hit them in the face!"
"Hey! That guy, don't kick them in the lower body! What will their females do if they get injured!"
A middle-aged male's shout caused the tribesmen to laugh. Yin Xiao and Da Sen were also furious; they were being attacked unfairly, and these people were too cunning!
The fight didn't last for half an hour. Bah, having had his fill of the spectacle, called out to stop them, "Alright, that's enough. You haven't managed to knock them down after so long, it seems you're not capable."
