Honghuang: My understanding is beyond belief. I am the first immortal of Jiejiao.

Jin Ning, the Phoenix Queen, daughter of Pan Huang's younger sister, the mount of the Goddess Nuwa, and one of the noblest pure-blooded phoenixes in the Three Realms.

Her personal presence shows how much Nuwa valued this wedding.

Jin Ning gently raised her jade hand, and a jade slip radiating seven-colored light appeared.

"The Goddess Nuwa bestowed upon us a Book of Marriage, which can record the love of three lifetimes and three worlds, and engrave our love on the Stone of Three Lifetimes, thus sealing our vows for three lifetimes and three worlds."

Above the heavens, auspicious clouds swirl and celestial music floats.

The area outside the Dou Niu Palace was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the magnificent palace was adorned with festive cheer.

Today is the wedding day of Lin Zhu and Fairy Ni Chang. All the gods and immortals have gathered together, and the air is filled with laughter and joy as they clink glasses.

The Jade Emperor sat in the main seat, the Queen Mother of the West sat with a smile, and the Ziwei Emperor sat to one side. The three of them chatted from time to time, clearly quite satisfied with the marriage.

Venus, holding a whisk, is presiding over the wedding ceremony in the palace.

"The newlyweds pay homage to heaven and earth"

Lin Zhu, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, was about to bow to the Fairy of Rainbow Robes, holding the hand of her.

The fairy in her flowing robes, adorned with a phoenix coronet and embroidered veil, revealed a breathtakingly beautiful face beneath.

The two of them standing together looked like a match made in heaven.

Just then, a clear and melodious phoenix cry suddenly came from the horizon, resounding through the clouds.

"Chong"

The sound seemed to penetrate the soul, and all the gods present involuntarily looked up at the sky.

A golden light streaked across the sky and arrived in front of the Dou Niu Palace in an instant.

"This is."

The Jade Emperor suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with shock.

The jade cup in the Queen Mother's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter," spilling its celestial nectar everywhere.

"Xuan Tian Fire Phoenix Jin Ning?"

Emperor Ziwei stood up abruptly, his face filled with disbelief.

Why would Lord Jin Ning of the Nuwa Palace come in person?

A golden-red phoenix hovered in mid-air, its wingspan reaching a hundred feet. Each feather burned with a faint flame, yet it did not harm the surrounding area in the slightest.

A woman in a long gold and red dress stood on the phoenix's back; her face was exquisitely beautiful, yet she exuded an unassailable majesty.

"Xuantian Fire Phoenix Jin Ning, by the decree of the Goddess Nuwa, has come to congratulate Lin Zhu and Fairy Ni Chang on their wedding."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, as if it resonated directly in the depths of their souls.

The entire Bullfighting Palace fell silent instantly, and all the gods held their breath.

Some less experienced celestial officials even felt their legs go weak and almost knelt down.

Lin Zhu looked around blankly, only to see that the gods who were usually high and mighty now showed expressions of awe.

He quietly tugged at Nezha's sleeve.

"Third Prince, who is this?"

Nezha lowered his voice, his eyes filled with shock.

"Nuwa's mount, the Xuan Tian Fire Phoenix Jin Ning! Legend has it that she was the supreme bloodline of the Phoenix Clan during the early Dragon-Han Calamity, and almost became the patriarch of the Phoenix Clan back then!"

"what?"

Lin Zhu's eyes widened.

"The mount of the sage Nuwa?"

Nezha nodded, his voice even lower.

"Moreover, it is said that during the early calamity of the Dragon-Han era, the three races of Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin fought a great war that caused the heavens and earth to collapse. It was because of her that the three races were almost wiped out, but she survived and became the mount of the saint Nuwa."

Lin Zhu was stunned. When he looked at Jin Ning again, his eyes were filled with awe.

Jin Ning landed gracefully, each step seemingly treading upon the laws of heaven and earth, radiating a suffocating pressure.

She walked up to Lin Zhu and Fairy Ni Chang and smiled slightly.

"Your Majesty presents this as a gift."

As she spoke, she waved her jade-like hand lightly, and a golden light flew into the sky.

Suddenly, a golden book and a crystal-clear stone appeared in the sky.

"The Book of Fate! The Stone of Three Lifetimes!"

Venus exclaimed in surprise.

Jin Ning's voice resounded through the sky.

"By the decree of the Goddess Nuwa, the marriage between Lin Zhu and Fairy Ni Chang is hereby recorded in the Book of Marriage and engraved on the Three Lives Stone, to be witnessed by all three realms, and to be never separated."

"boom"

A golden light descended from the sky, enveloping Lin Zhu and Fairy Ni Chang.

The two felt as if something deep within their souls had been connected, and a strange feeling arose within them.

"This is this"

Lin Zhu was astonished as she felt the changes within her body.

Nezha excitedly explained from the side.

"The Goddess Nuwa has directly stamped your marriage certificate! Divine marriages are the hardest to determine because they involve too many karmic factors. Now that your marriage has been recorded in the Book of Fate and engraved on the Three Lives Stone, it's equivalent to receiving an official 'marriage certificate,' so you don't have to worry about karmic repulsion anymore!"

Lin Zhu suddenly realized, but then became confused again.

"But why would Goddess Nuwa do this?"

He looked at Nezha, his eyes questioning.

"Third Prince, is that you?"

Nezha waved his hands repeatedly.

"Don't look at me! Although I am the reincarnation of the Spirit Pearl under the Goddess Nuwa, how could I have such great influence that a sage would have to take action?"

Lin Zhu was even more confused. He looked up at Jin Ning, about to ask a question, but Jin Ning spoke first.

"Every drink and every bite settles the past."

Jin Ning's voice carried a certain mysterious rhythm.

"You don't need to be confused; you will know when the time comes."

After saying that, she turned to leave.

"and many more!"

Lin Zhu couldn't help but shout.

"Senior Jin Ning, could you please tell me?"

Jin Ning paused, but did not turn around, and simply said.

"The Empress said, 'Rest assured, you will get married. We will meet again in the future.'"

Before she finished speaking, her figure transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

The enormous Xuan Tian Fire Phoenix also departed, leaving behind only countless golden specks of light slowly drifting down.

The entire Dou Niu Palace was completely silent; all the gods were still immersed in the shock they had just experienced.

After a long while, Venus finally came to his senses and coughed lightly.

"Ahem. The wedding continues. The newlyweds will now pay their respects to heaven and earth."

The immortals then seemed to awaken from their daze, but the way they looked at Lin Zhu had completely changed.

The gods who had initially regarded him as an ordinary immortal now looked at him with awe and curiosity.

"Who is this Lin Zhu? How could he have alarmed the Nuwa Palace?"

"The Holy Nuwa personally bestowed blessings; how many people in the Three Realms could receive such treatment?"

"I heard that he might have been a powerful being in his past life."

Whispers circulated among the immortals, leaving Lin Zhu both amused and exasperated.

He himself was completely baffled and had no idea why he would attract the attention of the sage Nuwa.

The wedding continued in a magical atmosphere.

After paying respects to Heaven and Earth, Venus loudly announced.

"Sent to the bridal chamber"

Lin Zhu, holding the hand of Fairy Ni Chang, slowly walked towards the back hall of the Dou Niu Palace under the watchful eyes of all the immortals.

A soft voice came from beneath the red veil of the fairy in her rainbow dress.

"Husband. The one from just now..."

"I do not know either."

Lin Zhu smiled wryly.

"But since it's a good thing, let's accept it for now."

The two smiled at each other. Although they couldn't see each other's expressions through the veil, they could both feel each other's feelings.

Just then, a petite figure suddenly darted out from the crowd, trying to catch up with them.

"Xiao Qiong wants to go too!"

Xiao Qiong skipped and hopped, trying to catch up.

Nezha reacted quickly and grabbed her.

"Little girl, you can't go to the bridal chamber."

Lin Zhu stretched and got up from the jade couch in the Star Palace. Sunlight shone through the colorful clouds onto his bare chest.

He glanced back at the still-sleeping Fairy Ni Chang, whose cascading black hair was spread out on the brocade quilt, her snow-white shoulders half-exposed, and the kiss marks he had left the night before still on her delicate collarbone.

"That little devil."

Lin Zhu smiled smugly and gently stroked the tip of Fairy Ni Chang's pert nose.

The fairy frowned slightly in her sleep, unconsciously slapped his hand away, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Lin Zhu put on the outer robe embroidered with a golden dragon, and found that his hands were trembling slightly when he tied the belt.

"Three days and three nights, that's really crazy."

He chuckled self-deprecatingly, recalling his passionate encounters with Fairy Ni Chang over the past three days, and the yang energy within him, which had just subsided, began to stir again.

Pushing open the vermilion gate of the Star Palace, the dazzling sunlight made Lin Zhu squint.

He had just stepped out the door when he heard a scream.

"what!"

A small figure slumped to the ground by the door. "Xiao Qiong?"

Lin Zhu raised an eyebrow at the fairy-like girl with her hair in two buns.

What are you doing lying here?

Xiao Qiong scrambled to her feet in a fluster, her face flushed red.

"I... I, Lord Lin Zhu, you've finally come out!"

She patted her chest, looking like she was still in shock.

"You stayed inside for three days and three nights, and Xiao Qiong was worried sick!"

"Three days?"

Lin Zhu was taken aback, then quickly calculated with his fingers and realized it was true.

No wonder I'm so hungry.

He touched his stomach and realized that he hadn't eaten in a long time.

Xiao Qiong leaned closer and whispered mysteriously.

"Lord Lin Zhu, you and Fairy Ni Chang are inside. What kind of cultivation technique are you practicing? Why is it taking so long?"

Lin Zhu laughed heartily and rubbed Xiao Qiong's head.

"Don't ask questions like a child."

He looked around.

"Where are Xiaomei and Xiaonuan?"

"They're counting the gifts in the storeroom!"

Xiao Qiong's eyes lit up.

"You wouldn't believe it, the gifts from all sorts of deities have been pouring in these past few days, practically wearing down the threshold of our Dou Niu Palace! From the Nuwa Palace to the Fengdu Emperor, from the Four Sages of the North Pole to the Ziwei Emperor, the gifts are piled up like a small mountain!"

Lin Zhu raised an eyebrow.

"Oh? It seems the news of my acquisition of the God-Slaying Spear spread quite quickly."

Xiao Qiong nodded repeatedly.

"That's right! Sister Xiaomei and Sister Xiaonuan haven't slept for the past few days. They've been registering, cataloging, and storing everything."

"Go and have a look."

Lin Zhu flicked his sleeves and strode towards the warehouse.

After passing through several palaces, before even reaching the storeroom, they heard Xiaomei and Xiaonuan arguing inside.

"This nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum should be placed in the medicinal herb section!"

Xiao Mei shrieked.

"But it was in a sandalwood box, so according to the rules it should be classified as a rare and precious item!"

Xiao Nuan was not to be outdone.

Lin Zhu pushed open the door and entered, only to see two little fairies arguing heatedly about a classification problem.

The warehouse was filled with all sorts of treasures.

There were elixirs and magical medicines in jade boxes, magical artifacts inlaid with gemstones, and rare and precious materials in brocade boxes.

"grown ups!"

Upon seeing Lin Zhu enter, the two immediately stopped arguing and bowed in unison.

Lin Zhu glanced at the mountain of congratulatory gifts and nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"My lord, these gifts are far too valuable; we dare not handle them without authorization. Especially the set of celestial constellation charts sent by the Ziwei Emperor, which is said to be able to draw upon the power of the stars."

"And there's also the Nine Netherworld Pearl sent by the Great Emperor of Fengdu."

Xiao Nuan interjected.

"It's said to be able to connect the realms of the living and the dead!"

Lin Zhu casually picked up a peach and took a bite, its juice overflowing.

"No rush, take your time tidying up. Oh, and take those ginseng fruit and yellow plums to the back garden."

"Would the master like to enjoy this?"

Xiao Mei asked.

Lin Zhu stretched.

"Well, while Jin Chanzi is still a child, I should enjoy this leisurely time."

In the back garden, Lin Zhu lay on a rocking chair, holding a ginseng fruit in one hand and a yellow plum in the other, occasionally picking a grape from the jade plate and popping it into his mouth.

Sunlight filtered through the branches and leaves of the fairy tree, bathing him in a warm and comfortable glow.

"This is the life of an immortal!"

Lin Zhu sighed contentedly.

Just as he was dozing off, a familiar fragrance wafted over.

Lin Zhu opened one eye and saw Fairy Ni Chang walking gracefully towards him, her steps still a little unsteady.

"Oh, you've finally decided to get out of bed?"

Lin Zhu joked.

The Fairy of Rainbow Robes glared at him, her cheeks flushed.

"You, this..."

She seemed to want to curse, but restrained herself by maintaining her fairy-like image, and only managed to squeeze out three words after a long pause.

"not human!"

Lin Zhu laughed heartily and pulled the Fairy of Rainbow Robes into his arms.

"I'm not human, I'm a god."

"Pooh!"

The fairy in the rainbow lightly pounded his chest.

"No deity is like you."

Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost a whisper.

"Lacking self-control"

Xiao Qiong brought over tea and snacks, but upon seeing this, she quickly turned to leave.

"stop."

Lin Zhu called out to her.

"Go and bring me that jar of fine wine that I treasure."

Xiao Qiong stuck out her tongue.

"My lord, you're still drinking? You and Fairy Ni Chang have almost emptied the Jade Pool's reserves with all the wine you've drunk in the past three days!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Ni Chang buried her face in Lin Zhu's arms, too embarrassed to look up.

Lin Zhu, however, didn't care at all.

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

After Xiao Qiong left, Lin Zhu gently stroked the long hair of Fairy Ni Chang.

"Tired?"

The fairy in the rainbow robes raised her head, her eyes sparkling.

"What do you think? I've never felt so...so"

She bit her lower lip.

"You're a monster!"

Lin Zhu smiled smugly.

"Thanks for the compliment."

He suddenly became serious.

"Ni Chang, do you want to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm?"

"what?"

The Fairy in Rainbow Robes suddenly sat up straight.

"Are you kidding me? A Great Luo Golden Immortal? That's..."

"I know."

Lin Zhu interrupted her.

“That’s a level that even the Great Celestial Venerable finds difficult to help people reach. But I can do what he can’t.”

The Fairy of Rainbows stared at him in shock.

"Are you serious?"

Lin Zhu nodded.

"The power of the God-Slaying Spear far exceeds your imagination. I can use its power to help you rebuild your immortal roots and directly break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm."

The fairy in the rainbow dress had longing in her eyes, but it quickly dimmed.

"But... transcending tribulation is very dangerous."

"With me here, what is there to be afraid of?"

Lin Zhu was full of confidence.

"Have you forgotten how I cultivated myself from a mere mortal to where I am now?"

The Fairy of Rainbows bit her lip and suddenly leaned forward to kiss Lin Zhu on the cheek.

"If you can really help me break through, I...I..."

She blushed and couldn't continue.

Lin Zhu grinned mischievously and leaned close to her ear.

"How are you?"

"I will never say you lack self-control again."

The fairy in her flowing robes spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. (End of Chapter)
