Seeing that the man had begun to blatantly desire Mu Yixue, Ciel couldn’t help but be annoyed.
“You really think in a disgusting way, yeah, I guess you’re just an uncivilized guy who happened to be born in a good body, but in reality you’re worse than a frog,” Ciel said, directly insulting him.
Right after that, Mu Yixue added, “You should stop overestimating yourself. Do you think you have any appeal? Hmm, after one defeat, you already look like an idiot. Sorry, but I always feel happy when I’m with Ciel.”
She grabbed Ciel’s hand when she said that, then leaned her head on his shoulder, showing Gabriel and everyone else that their relationship was pure.
Although there was indeed coercion in the beginning, unfortunately the end result was still happiness.
Ciel smiled at Mu Yixue’s actions, and returned the favor by wrapping one arm around her waist.
He looked at Gabriel’s face which had finally turned gloomy again, giving him a grin before saying, “let’s go, there’s no point in talking to a genius who becomes an idiot after one defeat.”
He took a step, followed by the others.
As they moved on, Rin said to the God of Life Light, “maybe the God of Light doesn’t know how to pick the right students. I’m serious, he’s just trash, you’ll soon see how his weak heart interferes with his cultivation until he really struggles to progress.”
Rin’s words this time made the old man frown.
He was not a stupid man because he too had once been an unrivaled genius.
So far, he considered Gabriel’s talent to be above his so he was optimistic about him.
However, he also knew how important one’s heart was to go further.
When seeing Gabriel’s increasingly bad attitude, he couldn’t help but agree with Rin’s words.
The problem was that earlier he had talked about there being no annoying problems if they only had a failed marriage.
Unfortunately Gabriel still seemed to be bothered.
As Ciel’s group was getting further away, the God of Life Light patted Gabriel on the back.
“You must calm down, don’t keep getting provoked by the enemy. In the Seven Realms, there are still many beautiful and talented women like that girl, as long as you show good results in your cultivation, your master will definitely help you marry the woman you dream of.” At this point, the God of Life Light could only advise Gabriel.
However, the man still had difficulty hiding the gloom from his face.
Ciel and the others didn’t take long to arrive at Yasmin’s residence.
It was already fully decorated for the wedding ceremony, using various traditional things from the continent.
The street in front of it was full of dining tables, which were also full of food for the guests, and although it was still very early in the morning, the number of guests had already filled almost every corner around the Yasmin residence.
There was a stage there where a group of beautiful women were dancing, a spectacle that caught the attention of almost everyone.
The closer to the stage, the stronger the aura of the people, clearly those from the major factions.
However, in the Realm of Life, there weren’t many large factions that could compete with the Ice Palace.
The Sect of Light was one of them, but it was almost as if they had already lost.
The Jian Clan which was the clan of the Sword God was unfortunately not present.
Lastly the Elf Kingdom, they are in this city, but haven’t shown up until now.
Of course, if they did show up, they would still have to stand behind Ciel because he was their Young King. No, now he was their King because of his relationship with the Elf Queen.
The rest of the factions were basically just second-tier factions in front of the Ice Palace.
When Ciel and the others came, they stood up to give a welcome.
At the same time, Hala and several young women approached Ciel and the others.
Today, the middle-aged woman looked beautiful in a demure bright blue dress, making her look very elegant.
In terms of beauty, Ciel thought she was a little lacking compared to Madam Maya and Madam Zhou, but she had the advantage in terms of aura.
It’s not just about her cultivation, but she does possess more modesty and has a more determined heart.
“Welcome, Ice Prince, Miss Rin, Miss Mu, Miss Isla, Miss Kaiya,” she said as she arrived in front of them, greeting them one by one.
She was so calm that even the carriage that held the treasure was not looked at by her.
“So, can we go in now?” asked Rin in response.
“Go ahead, that’s your place,” Hala replied as she pointed her hand in a certain direction where there were tables that were more luxurious than the others.
Before they took a step, she continued, “before that, the dowry must be handed over first. Then, you will all have breakfast, enjoy all the performances until the end. After all that, then we start the wedding. This is the way all residents of the Eternal Desert Continent get married.”
She explained everything thoroughly and politely so nothing seemed strange when she talked about asking for the dowry first.
And she was definitely not greedy as she still had not laid eyes on the carriage. Everything she said was pure and her request was pure because it was the culture.
Getting married here is easy and the women treat their husbands as kings, but of course the price won’t be cheap.
Rin laughed in response, telling the two horses pulling the carriage to come forward.
“Please take it, I have included everything that must be fulfilled,” she said.
Only after Rin said that did Hala look at the carriage.
She nodded and ordered some people to bring the carriage into the mansion.
It would all be handed over directly to Yasmin.
After that, Ciel and the others were able to proceed at a leisurely pace as they had already followed the established rules.
One by one, the disciples of the Ice Palace sat on the chairs in the area.
The food for them was not immediately available, coming only after they were seated.
Of course, each dish was extremely luxurious, even beating the dishes at the restaurant yesterday.
“Ladies and gentlemen!” Suddenly someone came on stage, but it wasn’t a woman, it was a middle-aged man who wasn’t even wearing a shirt, he was shirtless.
He was tall and his body was full of muscles, each one looked like a stone was planted into his body.
His hair was long and somewhat messy, even his eyes were like a pair of eggs.
Without letting go of the aura, people still knew that he was very strong.
Of course, her arrival was quite a confusion as people were expecting another show of beautiful women.
Even the women were more excited to see beautiful women dancing than a middle-aged man.
They including Ciel wondered if this was what marriage was like on the Eternal Desert Continent.
Surprisingly after him, there were other middle-aged men who came.
They only looked slightly weaker than him. The difference was that they were wearing robes, not just pants.
“Little Brother, you might want to close your eyes if you don’t like looking at men,” Rin said suddenly so Ciel and the others thought this was an unpleasant show for the eyes.
In response, Ciel shook his head. “Anyway, I’m going to marry their best young lady, whether I like it or not I’ll be a part of them after this. Yeah, I’ll watch everything they show as a courtesy to them.”
Ciel still knew how to respect the other party, what he said did not contain lies and coercion.
His answer made Rin laugh as he replied, “yeah, then you should try to enjoy it.”
Right after Rin said that, the middle-aged man spoke again.
“Ladies and gentlemen, on the Eternal Desert Continent, we have a dance that is believed to have been created by a powerful figure in ancient times. This dance is a must show at any event. Its benefits we really don’t know, but believe it or not, it will give you joy, making you more carefree so that you seem to be a transcendent being that can ignore even the gods.
“If you’re interested in the sensation, you can follow us. Play the music…” He ended his words in a loud voice.
Then, music that sounded like a combination of ducks, camels and goats echoed from all directions.
Surprisingly it sounded so good that it seemed like deeply crafted music.
As soon as the sound of the music appeared, the middle-aged men began to move.
Their first movement instantly made Ciel almost spit out the water he was drinking.
They arranged their bodies so that they looked like ducks. Then, their hands moved up and down like ducks flapping their wings.
“Hua! Hua! Hua!” They said something in their loud voices, which matched the music and then began to pace around the stage.
The expressions of almost everyone except the locals froze with the sight.
“What show is this?” people said.
Although they didn’t expect anything good, but this was worse than they expected. It was too cringe-worthy, and deserved to be called broken.
There was no beauty or dignity, just stupidity.
However, some local people who happened to be in the empty area started to follow their dance, even looking excited.
“Don’t take their foolishness seriously,” Rin said as she laughed at Ciel’s expression.
“You don’t have to worry about their women, there is no foolishness like this. They have an elegant and virtuous demeanor. Actually, it’s a way of relieving stress under hot weather.”
“I think I need to take back my words,” Ciel replied.
He suddenly felt impatient and wanted the wedding to start immediately.
Surprisingly enough, Gabriel who happened to have just arrived and was invited to sit in a special seat said while looking at Ciel, “boy, how about we make a bet, the loser has to join them?”
