Ninth class citizen

Chapter 407 The End of the Wedding

Nan Rong had been smiling all day, but when she finally finished the last step in the etiquette book, her face was almost frozen.

Taking advantage of everyone's inattention, she pinched Tianli's hand hard.

Their hands were clasped together, so even if they made a small movement, no one would see it.

"There's one last thing to do, hang in there a little longer," someone said to her telepathically, seemingly nonchalant.

"Really?" Nan Rong replied telepathically, "I've memorized the whole process. I've finished toasting the last round of drinks and given my speech in public. I should go back and rest now."

“The item I mentioned is not part of the process,” someone said.

Nan Rong suddenly realized a possibility, and her smile froze.

She blinked, trying quickly to pull her hand away, but the other person seemed to have anticipated this and didn't give her any chance.

Nan Rong's lips, which had been upturned all day, drooped.

"We already agreed that it's just a marriage of convenience!"

Tian Li ignored her and instead pulled her forcefully to the door to greet the two who had just arrived.
"Welcome, Your Majesty Xiyu and Empress Luo, for taking time out of your busy schedules to visit the Federation," he said.

"Unfortunately, we encountered airspace turbulence at the last minute, which delayed us quite a bit; otherwise, we wouldn't have missed the ceremony."

As His Majesty the Emperor of the Mio Empire spoke, he smiled and looked at Nan Rong and Tian Li.

Standing beside him, with a pair of bright, black and white doe eyes staring intently at Nan Rong, was none other than the world-famous Empress Luo, who, like Nan Rong, rose from humble beginnings to power.

No matter how uneasy Nan Rong felt in the face of such a renowned and distinguished couple, she would never show them any displeasure.

She and Empress Luo had long admired each other and were both colleagues in the field of genetic optimization. They hit it off immediately and quickly left the two men behind to chat to their hearts' content.

It wasn't until close to midnight, when the two most important guests left, that the two finally had some peace and quiet.

As the memories flooded back into Nan Rong's mind, she was still considering how to deal with the Great Demon King if he insisted on using force when she saw that person glance at her with a half-smile.

The next second, the scene around the two of them changed into a completely different scene.

They were in the center of a high platform shrouded in clouds and mist, with endless void outside and billions of stars above.

Nan Rong didn't know where she was, but Tian Li didn't seem like the type to do anything under the open sky, so she felt at ease.

Tian Li glanced at her again, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He flicked his fingers lightly, and six long, silvery-white incense sticks appeared in his hand. After lighting the incense, he gave three to Nan Rong: "Come with me, let us offer sacrifices to Heaven and Earth."

Nan Rong then remembered that among the many wedding ceremonies she had seen in various smaller worlds, there was indeed a ritual to offer sacrifices to heaven, earth, and ancestors.

But isn't this just a fake? Why make it so serious?

"Well, this is a marriage of convenience, we can't really fool heaven and earth, can we?" she transmitted her voice.

"Just do as I say, I have my reasons." The person's voice was as usual: "This is the last item. After you finish, you can go back and rest."

This statement successfully appeased Nan Rong. She was too lazy to argue further and recited the prayer with Tian Li, the gist of which was to inform Heaven and Earth that Tian Li and Nan Rong had officially become husband and wife.

"When heaven and earth unite, yin and yang harmonize, all things flourish, and the four seasons move in harmony." "May the heavens bestow their mercy, may the earth prosper, and may they be blessed with the five blessings and a hundred auspicious omens."

After the prayer, one would raise incense and bow in worship to all directions.

Strangely enough, the incense stick looked extremely long, but it would suddenly shorten with each bow, and by the time it had been bowed in all eight directions, it had burned out completely.

But Tianli did not take her away immediately. Instead, he stood there, lost in thought.

Nan Rong waited for a while, but seeing no sign that he intended to take her back, she had no choice but to ask, "Is it over?"

"Hmm." Tian Li came back to his senses, lowered his eyes to look at her hairline, and said in a low voice.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back!" Nan Rong yawned widely.

The scene shifts, and the two find themselves in the main bedroom of the Tian family's house, which is also their new home.

The room is decorated in a retro wooden style, with an extremely luxurious white jade and golden nanmu wood bed in the center, covered with top-quality hand-woven silk bedding, which looks incredibly comfortable at first glance.

The antique enamel incense burner placed by the window emits a light, milky-white mist, and the rich aroma of cedarwood wafts gently through the air, its crispness tinged with a hint of sweetness, quite inducing drowsiness.

Nan Rong didn't care about her image at all. She buried her face in the soft bedding and slumped onto the bed. She barely managed to raise her hand and wave it behind her to indicate that someone could leave.

But a few breaths later, she found that her heavy and complicated dress and jewelry had suddenly disappeared, leaving her only in a thin layer of underwear.

Nan Rong was greatly shocked and tried to teleport away, only to find that the entire space had been sealed off.

She could only quickly pull the blanket up to cover her body and then glare angrily at someone.

At this moment, the troubled look between Tian Li's brows had completely disappeared, and he walked towards the bedside with a calm expression, completely ignoring her dissatisfaction.

"What are you going to do!" Nan Rong's eyes widened. "Even if you are the Dean, you can't!"

Before she could finish speaking, Tian Li smiled calmly and flicked his finger at her.

"Cleansing, the cleansing technique?" Nan Rong asked in surprise.

This is a very useful little spell. The sticky feeling on your head and body disappears instantly, leaving you feeling completely refreshed.

It would be even better if there wasn't that person standing by the bed taking off their robe.

"Otherwise, what did you think it would be?" Tian Li asked.

"No, no." Nan Rong was afraid that thinking too much would remind the other person, so she could only hug the blanket tighter.

"Well, you can sleep anywhere you like. If you really don't want to, you can release the spatial confinement and let me go back. That's what we agreed on before."

"I'm afraid that won't work." Tian Li sighed slightly. "To be honest, a small accident happened, and I have to break my promise."

While he was speaking, he had already removed several layers of robes, leaving only a silk undergarment. He then performed a cleansing ritual on himself and went straight to bed.

Nan Rong was naturally unwilling to share a bed with Tian Li, but her resistance to him had never succeeded. She could only watch helplessly as he brazenly crawled into the quilt and lay down next to her.

Fortunately, it was just lying flat. If others knew that this alone could earn them ten trillion Cowen, they would probably swarm in and fight tooth and nail for it.

But soon, her hope was completely dashed.
