The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Less than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Today is the beginning of the new year, and also the sixth month since Lu Yuan left the city.

Half of the year is about to pass.

Lu Yuan's expression was solemn. No matter what, he was determined to take over this secret realm.

When he returns to the base city in August, he will never again allow anyone to decide his fate so easily!

Therefore, this marriage must take place.

During these ten days or so, Lu Yuan also tried to inquire about the cave from other villagers, including Ye Ya, who was relatively naive and easy to fool.

Unfortunately, all the villagers kept the cave a secret, as if it were a taboo deeply ingrained in their hearts, not revealing a single word to anyone.

As for exploring the secret realm through other methods, Lu Yuan had considered and tried them, but all of them were unsuccessful.

There's really no good way to deal with an isolated alternate dimension except by going in personally.

"What are you looking at?"

In the afternoon, Lu Yuan sat on a ridge by the village, reviewing his plans, when Sui Ling suddenly came over, sat down next to him naturally, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"It's nothing, the scenery here is beautiful."

Lu Yuan said it casually, but felt a little guilty.

Although it is said that great things are not bound by trivialities, toying with a young girl's feelings still made him feel somewhat uneasy.

To succeed and become a superior person, yet still retain a conscience, is something Lu Yuan has always despised about himself. But to completely abandon his conscience is indeed very difficult for him.

I will be good to you.

Lu Yuan turned to look at Sui Ling and said seriously.

He couldn't possibly live with Suiling in this desolate village, but he would find a way to make amends.

"I trust you."

Sui Ling was a little shy, then suddenly looked up and gave Lu Yuan a quick kiss on the cheek.

You can't sleep together before the ceremony, but it's okay to just kiss.

However, Sui Ling was, after all, a young girl just beginning to experience love, and her face immediately turned bright red. She got up shyly and ran away.

Watching Suiling run down the mountain, Lu Yuan touched his cheek and couldn't help but shake his head.

It's just a kiss on the cheek, is it really that big of a deal?

Having made his decision, Lu Yuan decided not to think about it any further.

After sitting on the ridge for a while, I got up and went back to the village.

"Um?"

When he returned to the dilapidated stone house where he lived, he saw Shi Kan already standing there.

Since losing the competition, Shi Kan has not appeared in front of Lu Yuan again.

Lu Yuan sized up Shi Kan. He was going to hold a ceremony with Sui Ling tonight, and Shi Kan had come looking for him at this time. Was he planning to cause some trouble again?

Lu Yuan's gaze turned cold. Anyone who dared to block his way was courting death.

"If you dare to betray Ling, I will kill you!"

Shi Kan looked at Lu Yuan with a serious expression and said in a deep voice.

ha?

What is this? Is this a pre-wedding protest from the bride's family's perspective, like those banners hung up during the wedding procession?

Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle. Had this guy lost his mind? What business was it of his to tell him what was going on between him and Sui Ling?

However, since they weren't there to cause trouble, Lu Yuan simply ignored them.

"If there's nothing else, please leave. I need to change my clothes and prepare for the ritual with the spirit."

Lu Yuan smiled, but his words were like knives piercing Shi Kan's heart.

Shi Kan's face immediately filled with hatred, but he didn't say anything and turned to leave.

After all, Lu Yuan and Sui Ling were deeply in love, and he had already failed in his challenge against Lu Yuan, so what else could he say?

After storming off Shi Kan, Lu Yuan looked at the "formal dress" on the bed in the inner room and couldn't help but sigh.

Marriage should be the most beautiful thing in life, but for him, it's just so upsetting.

He still didn't know what to do about his marriage to Shen Humeng, but now he had to marry a wild girl. Although Lu Yuan kept telling himself that they didn't even have a marriage certificate, it didn't count at all, it was just an act to go through the motions.

But clearly, people can't fool themselves; in this village, holding this ceremony signifies the union of two people.

"Why the hell are you trying to get sentimental again?"

He shook his head vigorously to clear away all the jumbled thoughts, then his face darkened as he picked up the dress.

It was made of animal hide, but it was much more formal and complicated than usual; let's just call it a formal dress.

After getting dressed, it was already dark. Lu Yuan sat on the stone bed and waited patiently.

About an hour later, as the moon rose higher, two young men entered the house. They said with a smile...

"The village chief told us to take you there."

"it is good."

Lu Yuan nodded, then got up and left with the two of them.

Behind the village, near the canyon leading to the cave containing the secret realm, all the villagers had gathered in an open space.

It wasn't because Suiling was the village chief's daughter; according to the village rules, all marriages had to be witnessed by the entire village.

"Here it comes, here it comes."

When they saw Lu Yuan coming over, the villagers cheered and then pushed him to the middle of the open space.

Someone, I don't know, stuffed a large bunch of wildflowers into Lu Yuan's hands.

Besides meat, it turns out they also like to give flowers.

Then, Lu Yuan stood there holding the flowers, quietly waiting for his girl.

He didn't have to wait long. As the new moon climbed to the treetop, accompanied by several women including Ye Ya, Sui Ling slowly walked out from the crowd.

What a nice view……

The moment Lu Yuan saw Sui Ling, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The dress, also made of animal hide, was not elaborate, but it suited Sui Ling perfectly, making her look like a wild princess, exuding a wild and youthful aura.

There was no elaborate makeup; apart from the original flame mark on her forehead, other patterns were drawn on her cheeks, giving her an air of mystery and allure.

The original three thick braids have now been untied and coiled back on the head with animal sinew, forming a bun for a woman about to be married.

"Hurry up!"

At that moment, accompanied by laughter, several hands gave him a hard shove.

Lu Yuan then came to his senses, took a few steps forward to greet Sui Ling, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, and awkwardly handed her the flowers.

"This is for you. You look beautiful tonight."

Sui Ling accepted the flowers without saying a word, her head slightly bowed, her face full of shyness.

Immediately afterwards, the two were pushed by the crowd to the center of the open space.

"Tonight, witnessed by the Sui Clan, Ye Clan, and Shi Clan, and with the new moon as our witness, we will hold the marriage ceremony between Lu Yuan and Sui Ling."

Suiyan stepped forward and announced loudly to everyone.

He is Sui Ling's father, but also the village chief.

Every couple's wedding ceremony in the village must be held in the presence of the entire village and presided over by the village chief, who is also the leader of the village.

As the village chief, Suiyan had presided over this ceremony many times, and his heart was always filled with joy because every time a man and a woman were united, it meant that the village was about to welcome new life.

But this time, I felt a pang of sadness.

"With the new moon as our witness! Facing the new moon, the two made their vows to each other!"

Suiyan took a deep breath, reminding himself that as the village chief, he could not act on emotion. Then, in a strong and clear voice, he began to preside over the ceremony.

They made vows, exchanged tokens, and drank blood wine together...

Following Suiyan's instructions, Lu Yuan and Suiling performed the ritual one by one. The ritual was not complicated, but it was ancient and effective. However, it was full of sacredness and an invisible sense of responsibility enveloped them.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt that the girl beside him, although they did not have a marriage certificate, was already his wife.

Roar~!

Just as the ceremony was about to end, a beast's roar was heard.

Boom!

Then a deafening roar shook the entire being.
