The Transmigrator Who Changed Doupo

Xiao Xuanyuan was completely bewildered, feeling as if he had been tricked. "Didn't you just agree to marry me?"

"Who said I agreed? I absolutely love Big Bad Uncle, I'd rather die than agree!" Little Ziyan became arrogant, reaching out to hug Xiao Xuanyuan's leg and refusing to let go. "Besides, Big Bad Uncle is willing to give Little Ziyan so many good things to eat, Little Ziyan is so happy and touched!"

faint!

Chapter Twenty: Minimum Requirements

Xiao Xuanyuan almost fainted on the spot. It turned out that the little guy had been digging a pit for him all along!

He wanted to cry but had no tears.

Now even the first and easiest target has failed!

"And what about you?"

Xiao Xuanyuan's gaze slowly swept over the women. Xiao Yu, fuming, moved her long, shapely legs forward with graceful steps. Just when he thought Xiao Yu was going to say something, this brat grabbed his ear.

"I'm telling you, you little rascal, you're really something! You're seducing one pretty girl here, another pretty girl there, leaving yourself with all sorts of romantic entanglements. How can you face Xun'er, how can you face other girls, how can you face us?"

Xiao Yu sulked and grabbed Xiao Xuanyuan's ear, twisting it like an old-fashioned television.

"Oh dear, please be gentle, please be gentle!" Xiao Xuanyuan immediately felt a chill. To be humiliated like this by a woman in front of so many people, he probably wouldn't be able to face anyone again.

"Hmph, you stinky guy, having so many beautiful girls like us isn't enough for you, and now you're secretly getting married here without telling us. What are you up to? Huh?!" Xiao Yu was still not satisfied and continued to spin Xiao Xuanyuan around 180 degrees, almost twisting his ear off.

"Xiao Mei, Xiao Xue, Hu Jia, come here right now and pull Xiao Yu away! This woman is crazy!" Xiao Xuanyuan quickly begged for mercy, glancing at Xiao Mei, Xiao Xue, and Hu Jia, who were usually very close to Xiao Yu. But all he got in return were eye rolls from the three women and the words, "Serves her right!"

Xiao Xuanyuan was on the verge of tears. He looked at the other girls, including Little Fairy Doctor, Princess Yaoye, and Princess Xiaoyue, but they all turned their heads away. Ye Ningyan was also glaring at him angrily with her arms crossed.

As for Han Yue, Liu Fei, and Lan Yiyi, they seemed to have discussed it beforehand, remaining silent and clearly aligned with Xiao Yu and the others.

Only Xiao Ziyan knew how to feel sorry for him. She blinked her big, dark, and bright eyes and looked at Xiao Yu with a pitiful expression. "Sister Xiao Yu, don't twist Uncle Bad's ears."

Xiao Yu reached out and patted Xiao Ziyan's head, saying softly, "Since he's bad, let's beat him up!"

"I don't want to!" Little Ziyan firmly objected, and even stretched out her chubby little hands to try to pry open Xiao Yu's clutches. In the end, Xiao Yu had no choice but to let go.

Xiao Ziyan's actions moved Xiao Xuanyuan, who had straightened his back again, to tears. Just as he was about to praise Xiao Ziyan for her great contribution, Xiao Ziyan blinked her big, dark, and watery eyes at him, urging him to lean closer, "Give me an extra thousand pieces of cake!"

After saying that, she winked at Xiao Xuanyuan vigorously.

Xiao Xuanyuan was both amused and exasperated; she really was a little foodie.

Faced with Xiao Ziyan clinging to his leg and threatening to bite him again, Xiao Xuanyuan had no choice but to reluctantly accept the little girl's condition: add another thousand pieces of cake!

From the moment Xiao Yu and his group of women appeared, to when Xiao Ziyan stepped forward to help Xiao Xuanyuan out of the predicament, everyone around was stunned. The dignified number one war god of the academy was actually bullied by a woman with a pair of long, shapely, and beautiful legs, who even twisted his ear and spun it around. What was going on? Had they discovered some earth-shattering news?

Zhang Cangwu and the others from the Alchemy Valley, along with Su Qian and more than ten other academy elders, looked at Xiao Yu and her dozen or so women with strange expressions. If they, with their long-standing intelligence, still couldn't see the problem, they would probably be out of touch with reality.

Is there something strange about the relationship between these dozen or so women and Xiao Xuanyuan? It might be unclear or ambiguous!

Upon seeing that his granddaughter, Hu Jia, seemed to be having an affair with Xiao Xuanyuan, the dean of the outer academy, Hu Qian, was at a loss for words. This guy was far too promiscuous! He'd had over a dozen girls with him already!

Seeing Xiao Ziyan's rather satisfied and happy expression, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but reach out and pick her up. Then, he glanced at the women and said, "Today, I don't want to talk about anything else. Today is my wedding with my master, Nangong Wan. If you are willing to participate, I would be more than happy to. If you are not willing to participate, you can leave immediately, and I will not stop you!"

Upon hearing this, all the women fell silent, their eyes revealing complex and conflicted emotions.

Xiao Xuanyuan added fuel to the fire, "My marriage to Master Nangong Wan is only temporary. It doesn't mean I'll be separated from you. Besides, I'll be leaving Canaan Academy to return to the Jia Ma Empire soon. If you're willing to come with me, I'm willing to take you with me."

Xiao Xuanyuan changed the subject and continued.

"I will also hold a grand wedding banquet for you both, and announce to the whole world that you are my wives. However, I have only one request: do not cause any trouble for me during today's wedding, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Hearing this, Xiao Ziyan was a little unhappy and tried to bite Xiao Xuanyuan's shoulder again. Xiao Xuanyuan slapped the little girl's bottom hard with a "smack" and said, "Behave yourself, or I will get angry."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ziyan had no choice but to behave herself, looking aggrieved. She nestled on his shoulder and angrily poked Xiao Xuanyuan with her chubby little fingers.

The women's expressions changed several times. They wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but they were reluctant to leave. The women in their small groups looked at each other and then huddled together to discuss what to do.

"We can't let him get away with this so easily."

"Let's see what tricks he's playing."

"Let's see what this woman, who's worth all this effort and dared to turn against us, looks like. How beautiful is she?"

After much discussion, the women finally gritted their teeth and reluctantly agreed, their faces grim. However, their fiery eyes betrayed their true feelings.

They still couldn't overcome their inner pride. They all wanted to see for themselves what woman was more beautiful and outstanding than them! Who could have captivated this powerful and exceptionally ugly guy so much?

Seeing that all the women had agreed, Xiao Xuanyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Today was a grand wedding he was holding especially for his master, Nangong Wan, and it was also a surprise. There couldn't be any mistakes. It was something that the two of them would remember for a lifetime, so he had to do his best to make it perfect, grand, and solemn.

Even though the women looked extremely unhappy and were unwilling, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't care less.

"Today is my grand wedding with my master, Nangong Wan. I want her to remember this forever, so please do not cause trouble. Otherwise, if you ruin my wedding with my master, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life."

After a pause, Xiao Xuanyuan continued,

"If the wedding goes perfectly today, and if you have any complaints, you can come to me tomorrow. I will punish you as I see fit then. But today, you must all listen to me. That is my minimum requirement!"

Chapter Twenty-One: The Wedding in Progress

Hearing that Xiao Xuanyuan had softened his stance, the women stopped pressuring him. After all, they knew how popular he was with the girls.

Back in the inner courtyard, the female students were so crazy that they would often run to the alchemist's office in the middle of the night and say things like, "Marry me," or "My god, I will marry no one but you in this life." The women had become somewhat numb to these rumors.

As the auspicious hour approached, Xiao Xuanyuan gave a call, and a wedding procession of people at or above the Douling Realm immediately appeared. To prepare for this wedding, Xiao Xuanyuan spared no expense, personally recruiting more than a dozen experts at or above the Douling Realm. In exchange for a fourth-grade pill for each of them, he persuaded them to obediently and willingly transform their Dou Qi into wings and carry an eight-bearer sedan chair, which he led towards Luoyun Palace.

Xiao Yu and a dozen other women were also curious about what Nangong Wan looked like, so they all followed her. Su Qian had seen Nangong Wan several years ago, and the academy elders were just joining in the fun, so they also went over.

In any case, the short distance between Luoyun Palace and Luonan Palace is an easy task for these powerful individuals at the Dou Wang realm or above, who can fly by transforming their Dou Qi into wings.

Even the elders from both the inner and outer courtyards of the academy went. As high-ranking members of the Alchemy Valley, Valley Master Zhang Cangwu and a few others had no choice but to accompany them. They had to give them face, since most of the academy's elders and leaders were there.

Although the Alchemy Valley is relatively independent of Canaan Academy, in reality, the Inner Court's Grand Elder Su Qian and the Outer Court's Dean Hu Qian are nominally on the same level as the Valley Master Zhang Cangwu. However, in terms of actual power, the Inner Court's Grand Elder Su Qian is the highest, followed by the Outer Court's Dean Hu Qian, and finally the Valley Master Zhang Cangwu. This is because the main responsibility of the Alchemy Valley is to serve both the Inner and Outer Courts.

About fifteen minutes later, Xiao Xuanyuan led a wedding procession of more than ten people at the Douling Realm and arrived in front of Luoyun Palace, where they landed.

Naturally, one of the wedding attendants stepped forward and shouted, "The groom has arrived! Please welcome the bride!"

At this moment, the bride, Nangong Wan, wearing a bright red veil with a phoenix spreading its wings and a red robe with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns, slowly walked out of Luoyun Palace, supported by her two personal maids, Mingyu and Caihe.

boom!

Xiao Xuanyuan's face lit up with joy, and he kicked the threshold of the palace. This was called the "kicking the door" ceremony, also known as the "coming-of-age ceremony," which signified that the bride would leave her home and never return, and would live happily in her husband's home for the rest of her life. It was a custom of weddings in the Dou Qi Continent.

"Hey, groom, take it easy! You've practically kicked the threshold apart!"

Mingyu looked at the broken threshold of the palace that had been kicked across the ground beneath her feet, and for a moment she was both amused and exasperated, so she offered a word of advice.

Caihe glanced at Xiao Xuanyuan with a wry smile. This groom was incredibly strong! The palace threshold was made of bluestone, as hard as iron. Normally, swords would only leave a white mark when they struck it, but Xiao Xuanyuan's casual kick broke it in two. His kick was incredibly powerful!

Xiao Xuanyuan scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I got too excited and used a bit too much force!"

“A son-in-law is a son-in-law!” Caihe rolled her eyes at him.

“A bit more vigor is good; a soft, limp man isn’t a real man.” Mingyu covered her mouth and chuckled as she looked at Xiao Xuanyuan.

Xiao Xuanyuan scratched his head, grinning foolishly.

"Young master, what are you standing there for? Come and take your bride's hand!" Caihe smiled sweetly at Xiao Xuanyuan, who was standing there dumbfounded.

"Yes, yes, yes," Xiao Xuanyuan realized after being reminded. He awkwardly stepped forward and reached out to take Nangong Wan's fair and slender hand. It was soft and smooth, and Xiao Xuanyuan held the hand tightly in his own.

"Watch your step." Xiao Xuanyuan followed closely, gently leading Nangong Wan to the eight-bearer sedan chair and slowly helping her onto it.

"The ceremony is complete! The bride is in the sedan chair! Go back!" The handsome master of ceremonies shouted again in a well-organized manner, with a strong sense of rhythm and a festive atmosphere.

Then, a wedding procession of more than ten people at the Dou Ling realm carried the eight-bearer sedan chair, spread their Dou Qi wings, and, accompanied by Xiao Xuanyuan, returned along the original route. At the same time, Mingyu and Caihe, who were Nangong Wan's personal maids, followed on the other side of the sedan chair, flying alongside Xiao Xuanyuan.

The dozen or so girls, including Xiao Yu, who had followed along, saw nothing. They were puzzled and sighed in disappointment. Nangong Wan, dressed in a phoenix-embroidered cloak and a bright red veil with phoenix wings spread, was all dressed in auspicious red. They could only wait and see.

Su Qian and more than ten other academy elders, as well as Zhang Cangwu, the head of the Alchemy Valley, all nodded in approval. They highly approved of the wedding ceremony and its various rituals, finding them to be quite proper and grand.

A quarter of an hour later, the wedding procession returned to Luonan Palace and landed on the Qinggang stone ground.

The master of ceremonies continued the proceedings, loudly announcing, "The groom shall carry the bride back to the palace!"

This is another important step in the wedding ceremony in the Dou Qi Continent. The "kicking the door" ceremony involves kicking the threshold of the bride's house. After the wedding procession returns to the groom's house, the "carrying the door" ceremony is performed. As the name suggests, the groom carries the bride through the front door of his house and all the way to the place where he pays respects to his parents.

This completes the ritual of the "back-to-the-door ceremony"! It signifies that the bride is carried into the groom's house, belonging to the groom in life and to the groom's family in death!

With both feet off the ground, it signifies that one's mind is solely focused on the groom, and even one's steps follow the groom—this has an important significance!

This is also one of the two most important steps for the bride to enter the bride's home.

When Xiao Xuanyuan carried Nangong Wan to the main palace of Luo Nangong, the moment their feet touched the ground, the master of ceremonies called out again, "The bride has arrived home, prepare the family gifts!"

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, then reached out and took Nangong Wan's slender hand, facing the empty doorway.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

Xiao Xuanyuan pulled Nangong Wan along and slowly bowed towards the vast and clear sky outside, offering a salute.

"Second bow to Your Excellency!"

The ancestors of the bride and groom are the parents or ancestors of the groom and bride. Since Xiao Xuanyuan and Nangong Wan's ancestors are not by their side, they can only bow to the distant heavens and earth, meaning that they have bid farewell to their ancestors in the distance.

"Happy husband and wife!"

Upon hearing this voice, Nangong Wan's palms broke out in a cold sweat. She didn't know whether it was from excitement or anxiety, but it made her nervous.

"slow!"

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was beaming, holding Nangong Wan's soft and smooth hand tightly, and was about to give her a final bow, a voice suddenly rang out!

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Flower Fairy's Wedding Gift

Upon hearing this voice, the many onlookers on both sides of the main palace turned their curious gazes toward the palace gate, wondering what had happened.

"What's going on? Who was shouting just now?"

"I don't know, could it be that someone is trying to cause trouble?!"

"Impossible! The groom is the academy's number one war god. Nobody dares to mess with him. Han Li is the best example. He was wiped out in one move!"

Inside the main palace, the two sides were densely packed with people, most of whom were alchemist disciples from the Alchemy Valley, some of whom were maids and servants from Luo Nan Palace and Luo Yun Palace. Standing at the front on both sides were more than ten academy elders, including Su Qian, Zhang Cangwu, the valley master of Alchemy Valley, and more than ten of Xiao Xuanyuan's confidantes, including Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and Xiao Xue.
