Chapter 571 The wedding is in progress

Jia Xingtian took the lead and walked towards the hall. Hai Bodong and Yunshan looked at each other, nodded slightly, and followed with the people who accompanied them.

When the group arrived in front of the gate of the Medusa Temple, they saw many snake-men guards standing there in an orderly manner like majestic statues.

Today, as the final venue for the highly anticipated wedding, the security measures of the Medusa Temple naturally follow high standards and are strictly enforced.

The Snake People put all their efforts into this wedding of great significance, carefully selecting and sending many elite members of the tribe to serve as guards.

You know, this wedding is of great importance, but on the day when their current snake queen is getting married, there can be no room for any accidents, not even the slightest mistake.

At this time, among the snake-people guards, there was a woman with a gorgeous appearance who was particularly eye-catching.

Unlike other snake people whose upper bodies are human-shaped and their lower bodies are snake tails, her lower body is a pair of legs that are exactly the same as those of humans. She stands there gracefully, which makes her look quite charming.

The high-profile appearance of Jia Xingtian and his group earlier naturally attracted the attention of the snake guards present.

All pairs of eyes looked towards them, their gazes full of scrutiny and curiosity.

When they got closer, the leader Jia Xingtian took a few steps forward, a very decent smile immediately appeared on his face, and he spoke softly to the woman who was very different from the other snake people:
"Haha, Commander Yue Mei, it's been a long time since we last met. I didn't expect that when we meet again, you have already completely transformed into a human. It's really unexpected."

"Looking at your current appearance, I'm sure that your cultivation must have improved considerably over the years. If you continue to develop at this good momentum, I'm afraid you will be close to the level of cultivation that old guys like me are in..."

Jia Xingtian always had a casual smile on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and his eyes and eyebrows were just the right amount of friendly.

However, his heart was like a deep pool with undercurrents, and it was difficult to calm down.

This time when he returned to the Snake People, what he saw and heard really shocked him. The strength now demonstrated by the Snake People was far beyond his previous imagination.

Take Yue Mei in front of him for example. Among the eight leaders of the Snake People, Yue Mei’s strength has never been outstanding. At most, she can be considered to be at the back.

But now, just by getting close, Jia Xingtian could keenly sense that Yue Mei's cultivation had actually reached the peak level of Dou Huang. This discovery caused quite a stir in his heart.

You know, the strength of the peak Douhuang is already considered a strong man in the Gama Empire, and this is just a relatively less prominent leader among the Snake People.

In this case, what kind of unfathomable cultivation should the other commanders and elders have? Not to mention the Queen Medusa who returned from Zhongzhou with Xiao Ling. Her strength must be as deep as the sea. I am afraid she is not far from the Dou Zun.

Looking at Yue Mei again, with Dou Huang's cultivation, she was able to transform into a human form smoothly, which was extremely rare in the past. After thinking for a while, Xing Tian understood that she must have taken the rumored seventh-grade transformation pill.

After all, Master Xiao Ling has now become the son-in-law of the Snake People. With Master Xiao Ling's means and abilities, let alone a few seventh-grade transformation pills, even more rare pills would be a piece of cake for him.

Thinking of this, the envy in Jia Xingtian's heart grew stronger, spreading like a vine in his heart.

Looking back to the past, the royal family had hoped to have a deep bond with Master Xiao Ling, but unfortunately, Master Xiao Ling did not fancy the eldest princess of their Jia Ma royal family at that time.

If they could have achieved their wish at that time, with the help of Master Xiao Ling, how could the Jia Ma royal family be in the current situation?

I'm afraid that he would have been at the peak of his power in the Gama Empire a long time ago, and become an existence that all forces need to rely on and curry favor with. How could he be like this now, secretly sighing at the thriving snake people?

Jia Xingtian knew very well that the reason why the Gama Empire could still maintain its current situation was entirely because the Snake People and the Xiao family had no major ambitions or intentions towards the empire.

He didn't even dare to think about it. If these two forces had other intentions, with their current unfathomable strength, they would have turned the Gama Empire upside down and changed its name.

At this moment, Yue Mei stood tall and graceful, showing her elegance. She smiled slightly, and her smile was gentle but also a little indifferent, without any deliberate flattery, nor did she show any respect.

She opened her red lips slightly and said in a tone that sounded like a conversation between equals, neither hurried nor slow:

"Haha, Mr. Jia, you are really joking. I am able to transform now, all thanks to the transformation pill given by the Queen. This is why I have such a change. Although my cultivation has improved slightly in recent years, compared with the seniors, it is still a long way behind..."

Under normal circumstances, with Yue Mei's cultivation level of a mere Dou Huang, facing a powerful warrior like Jia Xingtian who has entered the Dou Zong realm for some time, she would have to be respectful and polite, and would not dare to be negligent at all.

But Yue Mei was different. As a member of the Snake People, she stood here at the moment, representing the face of the Snake People. How could she easily lose her momentum?
Not to mention that she herself has a strong personality, the unfathomable cultivation of her own queen is enough to make her stand up straight.

You know, if the Queen's extraordinary strength were to be fully revealed, who in the entire Gama Empire would be able to compete with her? Why would the Snake People need to act according to the wishes of others?

After some greetings, Jia Xingtian and his group had no intention of staying here for too long, so they smiled and greeted Yue Mei again, then walked towards the Temple of Medusa.

After Jia Xingtian and his group gradually left, Yue Mei restrained her expression slightly, her eyes became serious, she turned her head to look at the row of tall and stern guards beside her, and ordered in a steady tone:

"Most of the guests who were supposed to come today have already arrived. If there are more visitors coming, you don't need to pay attention to them. You just need to keep a close eye on the situation here and never let anyone else in. Make sure that the area around the temple is safe and secure. Don't let anything go wrong and ruin the Queen's happy event."

The guards beside him nodded hurriedly and responded in unison: "Yes, Commander Yue Mei, your subordinates understand!" The voice was loud and firm, revealing an unquestionable determination.

After hearing this, Yue Mei nodded with satisfaction, then raised her chin slightly, walked towards the Medusa Temple with lotus steps. After all, today was the wedding day of her queen, and as a leader of considerable weight in the snake people, how could she be willing to be absent from such a grand and solemn occasion?
Thinking this in her heart, Yue Mei's pace unconsciously quickened a bit, and her graceful figure soon disappeared into the gorgeous light and shadow of the temple.

……

Stepping into the main hall of the Medusa Temple, you feel like you are in a dream palace made of extreme luxury. The floor of the hall is made of rare colorful glass stones, each of which emits a bright and soft light, and the colors are intertwined and changing, as if the rainbow in the sky has been integrated into this world. Walking on it is like walking in a dreamy glow.

The dome is like a vast starry sky, inlaid with countless tiny gems, which twinkle like stars, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. From time to time, the light flows and converges, like a shooting star, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the hall.

The pillars around are thick and tall, and the entire body of the pillars is covered with gold. They are engraved with exquisite snake patterns and various auspicious patterns with superb craftsmanship. The snake patterns are lifelike, as if they will meander down the pillars at the next moment, and the auspicious patterns are even more dazzling against the backdrop of gold, showing endless luxury.

In the center of the hall, a red carpet extends straight from the main entrance to the high platform in the front. The red carpet is soft and thick, and the warm red color looks even more dazzling under the bright light around it.

Both sides of the red carpet were already filled with guests who came to watch the ceremony. Everyone was dressed in formal attire and looked very elegant, and it was obvious that they attached great importance to this occasion.

At this moment, they were sitting together in groups of three or five, talking and chatting in low voices. Laughter and joy could be heard from time to time in the hall, creating a lively atmosphere.

Suddenly, the lights in the hall dimmed. The hall, which was originally filled with laughter and constant conversation, suddenly became quiet. Everyone seemed to be under a spell. Their words stopped abruptly and their breathing subconsciously slowed down.

In this extremely quiet atmosphere, with a creaky sound, the heavy and magnificent door of the hall was slowly pushed open from the outside to the inside, and a bright light poured in from outside the door.

In an instant, it seemed as if all the light gathered at that one spot, immediately drawing everyone's attention there, as they all stared at the perfect couple that slowly appeared.

Immediately, all the eyes that were cast there were filled with astonishment, and their expressions were filled with undisguised admiration and appreciation.

Indeed, judging from their clothes and appearance alone, this newlywed couple looked like a couple from the pages of a painting; they were truly a match made in heaven.

Although Medusa's face was covered with a red veil at this time, her unparalleled beauty could not be concealed.

She is wearing a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe. The coronet is made of gold and inlaid with rubies, sapphires and other treasures. The shape of the phoenix is ​​lifelike, and the tail feathers are shining. The bridal robe is made of gorgeous red silk, embroidered with exquisite patterns of flowers and butterflies, and dragging on the ground, showing its luxury.

The neck exposed under the veil is white and slender, exuding elegance and nobility, which makes people imagine that the face under the veil must be extremely beautiful.

At this time, Xiao Ling stood tall and proud. His wedding dress was made of rare brocade, embroidered with exquisite patterns of flying dragons and dancing phoenixes, and the collar and cuffs were dotted with round pearls, exuding a soft luster.

The golden hair crown inlaid with brilliant gemstones sparkled. He had sharp eyebrows and deep eyes, and looked towards Medusa with tenderness.

Inside the hall, all eyes were focused on Xiao Ling and Medusa, filled with blessings and admiration.

The two of them walked down the red carpet arm in arm, with light but firm steps.

Along the way, those familiar faces bowed and offered sincere blessings. Xiao Ling always had a gentle smile on his face. He responded to each of them with a smile, without putting on airs because of his current identity and cultivation.

After all, today is his big day. He would not respond with a cold face no matter what the reason is to receive such warm blessings from everyone.

At the end of the red carpet, there was a figure sitting upright. It was Yao Chen, representing the elders of both parties.

He was also dressed in formal attire today, his robe exuding a simple and elegant elegance. Although his expression was meticulous at this moment, his eyes were full of satisfaction and kindness at the moment. He quietly watched Xiao Ling and Medusa walking towards him step by step.

After a series of complicated formalities, the much-anticipated moment finally arrived.

Xiao Ling slowly stretched out his hand, his fingertips trembling slightly, and gently lifted the red veil covering Medusa's face.

In an instant, Medusa's peerless face was revealed without reservation, as if a bright light bloomed in the hall, making everything around it lose its color in an instant.

Her eyes are like clear autumn water, deep and bright. There seem to be countless stars hidden in her eyes, and there seems to be deep affection flowing in them, which can easily make people indulge in them.

The high nose bridge with graceful and straight lines adds a touch of noble and cool temperament to her.

And those slightly upturned, unadorned red lips are like the delicate petals in spring, exuding an irresistible temptation that makes people want to kiss them.

Her fair skin was as delicate and smooth as mutton-fat jade. Under the light of the hall, it glowed with a soft halo, as if she was a fairy favored by God, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

Xiao Ling stared at the face in front of him that he had been thinking about day and night, his eyes full of amazement and affection, and Medusa also stared at Xiao Ling. Their eyes met, and each other's faces were clearly reflected in their pupils.

They just looked at each other quietly, as if they wanted to engrave each other's appearance deeply into the deepest part of their hearts.

At this moment, there is no longer any barrier between the two of them. Only the strong love quietly permeates the air, lingering in each other's hearts and infecting everyone present.

In the end, neither of them said a word. They just tacitly took the tea handed over by the snakeman elder, held it steadily in both hands, and presented it to Yao Chen in front of them.

Yao Chen held up the teacup steadily, looking at the perfect couple in front of him with tenderness and loving eyes. His eyes that had experienced the vicissitudes of life were now filled with relief, and a smile from the heart naturally appeared on his face.

"As your elder, I hope that you can live in peace and happiness for a long time." Yao Chen's voice sounded slowly, his tone was calm but solemn.

After saying this, he picked up the teacups one by one and drank two cups of tea. (End of this chapter)
