But by this time, almost everyone had arrived, so who was still shouting?!

Upon hearing the voice that called "Man," Xiao Xuanyuan's face immediately darkened. He wanted to see who else would dare to cause him trouble. Nangong Wan, unable to contain her curiosity and rising anger, was about to lift her bright red veil.

"Wan'er, don't rush. Let your husband lift your veil during the wedding night."

Xiao Xuanyuan gently tightened his grip on her jade-like hand, stopping her from lifting the red veil. His wife was at her most beautiful, so of course he should lift the red veil first, so that he could admire and see it alone. If he lifted it now and showed it to everyone, wouldn't he, Xiao Xuanyuan, be at a great disadvantage?

Huff, huff!

A footstep sounded slowly, accompanied by a figure, who walked to the front of the main palace of the imperial palace.

With her exquisite features and graceful demeanor, she resembled a fairy flower descended to earth, possessing an otherworldly beauty. Although her hair was styled in the mature style of a woman, it could not conceal her celestial aura, which carried a unique charm amidst her maturity.

Xiao Xuanyuan looked closely and realized that it was none other than his senior sister, Fairy Flower. What was she doing here at this hour? But then he remembered how Fairy Flower had caused trouble for him in the palace before, trying to replace Nangong Wan and marry him. Xiao Xuanyuan frowned.

What is this woman up to? Is she going to do something stupid?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan's face darkened.

"Hey, isn't that the Flower Fairy, one of the two immortal prodigies in our valley? Why is she calling off the wedding?"

Among the onlookers, many alchemist disciples from the Alchemy Valley recognized the Flower Fairy at a glance. After all, the Alchemy Valley wasn't very big, but it had over a thousand alchemist disciples. In the past, the Flower Fairy, Zhang Baishan, and Wang Boao were known as the "One Fairy and Two Prodigies," becoming the most dazzling presence in the entire Alchemy Valley.

However, after Xiao Xuanyuan arrived, Zhang Baishan and Wang Boao, the two geniuses of "One Immortal, Two Prodigies", were suppressed by Xiao Xuanyuan alone. Then, a genius alchemist named Xiao Yan and a young man named Chen Gao emerged. That year's alchemist competition was also the end of "One Immortal, Two Prodigies". Xiao Xuanyuan, Xiao Yan, Chen Gao and the Flower Fairy got together and were called the Four Heavenly Kings!

However, as time passed, more than a year went by, and the title of the Four Heavenly Kings of Alchemy Valley had long since faded away, and the "One Immortal and Two Prodigies" had vanished into thin air. However, compared to the newly emerging young talents of alchemists, the "banished immortal" of the "One Immortal and Two Prodigies," Flower Fairy, was so beautiful that many veteran alchemist disciples still had a very deep impression of her.

"I don't know, but I heard that she has been involved in a lot of rumors with the First War God who is getting married. The gossip is going crazy right now, and people are secretly calling her the true mistress of Luo Nan Palace."

"Who can argue with that? This number one war god is truly charming. He even managed to seduce our goddess Elder Nangong, and he also ruined the immortal among the two geniuses of the alchemist disciples. There's no flower he can't pluck!"

The chatter among the many alchemist disciples caused Xiao Yu and a dozen other women to turn pale and then red-faced. They had never imagined that, besides their master who was marrying Xiao Xuanyuan, he also had a banished fairy, the Flower Fairy, from the "One Immortal, Two Prodigies" duo. It was truly infuriating!

When Elder Zhang Cangwu and several elders from the Alchemy Valley looked at Xiao Xuanyuan and Fairy Hua, they had strange expressions, but they dared not say it outright. They were not fools. Anyone with eyes could see that there was something going on between Xiao Xuanyuan and Fairy Hua when he entrusted the huge Luo Nan Palace to Fairy Hua. It was just that some things were not easy to say.

Su Qian and the other dozen elders were also surprised and uncertain. They had also heard the alchemist disciples behind them discussing, and they couldn't help but look at Xiao Xuanyuan strangely. They all thought to themselves, "This kid really knows how to flirt with women. He has a lot of romantic entanglements. Let's see how he cleans up this mess!"

"What are you doing here? Don't blame me for not warning you, if you try to cause me trouble, I will not let you off easily!"

Xiao Xuanyuan snorted coldly, and a terrifying, surging aura emanated from his body, frightening everyone in the palace so much that they dared not even breathe and hurriedly circulated their internal fighting spirit to resist this immense and powerful pressure.

The Flower Fairy also felt the terrifying aura, like giant waves crashing against the shore, but she didn't show any unusual expression. She simply stretched out a slender hand, and a beautiful and exquisitely decorated jade box appeared in her palm. She slowly walked forward and approached Nangong Wan, who was dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown.

Xiao Xuanyuan reached out and blocked her way, saying, "If you have something to say, just tell me. Don't frighten my wife."

Hearing Xiao Xuanyuan's words, Nangong Wan felt a sweet warmth in her heart. A blush crept onto her exquisitely beautiful face, which was hidden under the bright red veil. "The ceremony isn't even over yet, and you're already thinking you're my bride, you brat? You're dreaming!"

"Brother Xuanyuan, I have something to say to the bride." The flower fairy's eyes revealed a hint of pleading.

"No need. Just say the same thing to me. If you really can't say it, then don't interfere with my wedding night with my wife." Xiao Xuanyuan said coldly, his face full of frost. He was really afraid that this senior sister would cause trouble for him.

"Alright." After a moment's hesitation, the flower fairy could only nod helplessly and hand over the exquisite jade box. "This is my wedding gift to the bride. Please accept it!"

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded, feeling relieved. With a wave of his hand, he put the exquisite jade box into his storage ring. "Alright, I'll accept your gift. We can talk about it later."

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Banquet

Seeing that his senior sister, Flower Fairy, had stepped down, Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and was about to have the master of ceremonies continue the wedding ceremony.

But at that moment, another voice popped up.

"You big bad uncle, this is a gift from Ziyan to the bride!"

Little Ziyan skipped and hopped out, came to Xiao Xuanyuan, opened her chubby little hand, and offered him a piece of chocolate.

Seeing this, Xiao Xuanyuan was both amused and exasperated. What on earth was this little girl thinking? On his wedding day, she actually gave her bride a piece of chocolate? Was she trying to make everyone laugh? What was the point of eating this chocolate? It would be gone in an instant.

"May the newlyweds' life after marriage be as sweet as this chocolate."

Little Ziyan has a sweet tongue and knows how to talk. Her big, dark, bright eyes darted around, and she leaned closer to Xiao Xuanyuan, making him stick his ear out. "You big bad uncle, you have to remember, you owe me a hundred chocolates, because I gave you all the chocolates I've been saving for so long, so you have to pay me back a hundred!"

What kind of logic is this? Xiao Xuanyuan was completely bewildered. He gave his wife a piece of chocolate, and she expected him to reciprocate with a hundred yuan? What kind of thought process is this?

But then he realized that Xiao Ziyan was probably trying to trick him into buying her chocolates. She really is a real little foodie!

Xiao Xuanyuan stretched out his hands and pinched the little guy's cute cheeks hard. Then, under the little guy's threatening gaze, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

After finally sending away the mischievous little Ziyan, Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and the others came forward one by one, all wanting to give the bride wedding gifts.

Xiao Yu gave him a beautiful flute; Xiao Xuanyuan knew that she had a hobby of playing the flute. Xiao Mei gave him a bottle of expensive cosmetics, which she usually kept to herself and was reluctant to use. Xiao Xue gave him a sword manual, showing that she was extremely skilled in swordsmanship.

In addition, one after another, more than a dozen women each gave what they considered precious gifts and wished the bride and groom a happy marriage, which gave Xiao Xuanyuan a headache. Every time a gift was given, the extremely resentful looks that fell on him made his scalp tingle.

These jealous people might just spill their juices any day!

Finally, after all the women had finished seeing them off, the master of ceremonies solemnly announced the final and most important ritual: "Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Xiao Xuanyuan held his master Nangong Wan's slender hands tightly and gradually bowed to her!

After a busy day, it was time for the dinner banquet.

Su Qian and the other academy elders, as well as Zhang Cangwu, the head of the Alchemy Valley, all showed great respect, toasting Xiao Xuanyuan and wishing him and Nangong Wan a long and happy marriage. When the elders saw the resentful gazes of the women directed at them, they shrank back, their voices trembling. But Xiao Xuanyuan just smiled and comforted them.

Therefore, the elders could only awkwardly continue with their congratulatory remarks, since they had already come this far and there was nothing more to say.

After going through the formalities and receiving blessings from all the alchemist disciples and elders of the Alchemy Valley, Xiao Xuanyuan, satisfied, led the blessings to the table where Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, Xiao Xue, and the other women were seated.

"Just eat and drink well, don't worry about me!" After saying this, Xiao Xuanyuan wanted to slip away. He could let go of the women's blessings, but he was afraid that their jealousy would make him lose face.

But the women wouldn't let him off the hook. To vent their anger and jealousy, they all forced Xiao Xuanyuan to drink, threatening him to drink and trying all sorts of ways to make him drink.

Having no other choice, and in order to quell the women's anger, Xiao Xuanyuan had no choice but to grit his teeth and drink. He accepted every toast offered by the women, but as soon as the wine entered his stomach, he would immediately use flames to evaporate it into nothingness, which was no different from not drinking at all. For a time, Xiao Xuanyuan was neither red-faced nor nervous, and he drank, ate, and indulged himself to the fullest.

"You brat, congratulations on your wedding today! You've married a beautiful and lovely wife. We're all so happy today, you have to finish your drink." Having clinked glasses with Xiao Xuanyuan countless times, Xiao Yu's tongue was thick and her speech was incoherent.

"Cheers, cheers! You can't not finish it!" Since he could cheat with fire to burn and evaporate the wine, Xiao Xuanyuan, with the intention of knocking all the women out, replaced each woman's bowl with a large one and made them drink with him.

The women weren't stupid. Under the pretext that men must give way to women, for every bowl of wine they drank, Xiao Xuanyuan had to drink two. Xiao Xuanyuan felt like crying but had no tears in his heart. However, in order to get the women drunk, he did his best and risked everything!

As they drank, most of the women collapsed, but Xiao Ziyan, with her terrifying magical beast physique, remained unfazed, drinking heavily with Xiao Xuanyuan Hai without even blushing or skipping a beat. The other women had initially refused to give her any, citing her underage status, but Xiao Ziyan insisted. They only poured her half a bowl, which she drank down without any ill effects.

Later on, the women simply let her drink as much as she wanted. By now, almost all the women had passed out. Only Xiao Xue, Han Yue, and Xiao Ziyan, who had drunk a bowl or two, remained at the banquet. Xiao Yu also collapsed limply at the banquet table after finishing her last bowl of Daughter's Red wine.

Seeing the women snoring and talking nonsense in their drunken state, Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but smile wryly. He beckoned a few maids from Luo Nan Palace and had them lead the women to another palace to rest.

To prevent anyone from taking advantage of the drunken women, he specially arranged for several female cultivators with the strength of the Dou Ling realm to protect them. They were all female guards and all female maids.

After the maids took the drunken women away, only Xiao Xue, Han Yue, and Xiao Ziyan remained in the room.

"Brother Xiao, you..."

Looking at the man in front of her who had captured her heart, Han Yue felt as if she had a thousand words to say, but when the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to say them.

Xiao Xue always maintained a calm and aloof demeanor, remaining silent, only occasionally glancing at Xiao Xuanyuan with a glint of surprise in her beautiful eyes. The young man before her was quite astonishing; Xiao Xue felt she could no longer understand him. From looking down on him when she was in the Xiao family, to his gradual rise to prominence and becoming the center of attention within the family.

When Wu Tancheng was recruiting students for Canaan Academy, his calm and confident demeanor was soothing that it made people feel at ease, as if there was no problem he couldn't solve if they were by his side!

It wasn't until a year later that he arrived at Canaan Academy, where he made a name for himself and directly entered the outer academy to become number one in the competition. He stayed in the Alchemy Valley for a year, and when he came to the inner academy, he almost swept the strong list. Even Xiao Xue at that time, even when facing Xiao Xuanyuan, was not confident that she could win!

The boy's sudden rise to prominence caught her completely off guard! Unconsciously, his image gradually appeared in her heart!

Chapter Twenty-Four: A Moment Worth a Thousand Pieces of Gold

"What's wrong with me?"

Hearing Han Yue hesitate, he couldn't help but look over curiously.

"Are you sure you want to marry me?" After hesitating for a long time, Han Yue finally managed to say it, her cheeks turning red.

"Hmm? When did I say that?"

Xiao Xuanyuan scratched his head, feigning ignorance.

"Sister Yue, is it true that the big bad uncle will marry me in the future? Big bad uncle."

Xiao Ziyan ran straight to Xiao Xuanyuan's side and snuggled into his arms. Xiao Xuanyuan rolled his eyes, reached out and picked her up, saying, "I'll marry you, I'll marry you, you little rascal, you're so naughty."

Xiao Xuanyuan was both amused and exasperated. She was always there for him, and she was such a little foodie.

"Then maybe I misunderstood." Han Yue's face turned red, and she collapsed as if she had lost her spirit.

Seeing Han Yue looking like a defeated rooster, Xiao Xuanyuan didn't want to continue discouraging her. His expression turned serious for a moment, "If you don't mind, I'm willing to accept you, however..."

Xiao Xuanyuan pondered for a moment, "You know my situation, so it's up to you to make your own choice."

Xiao Xue suddenly spoke up, asking, "Xiao Xuanyuan, will the family agree to your actions?"

"Hmph, they have no choice but to agree, it's not their place to decide my affairs," Xiao Xuanyuan snorted coldly, not afraid at all. With his current strength, his word was law in the family, and no one dared to disobey him. Considering the family's recent prosperity, he spoke up again.

"As for the Xiao family, if it weren't for me, they would have been squeezed out by the Wutancheng Jialie family and the Obama family long ago."

Xiao Xuanyuan looked arrogant, and a powerful and terrifying aura emanated from him, making the women beside him tremble with fear. He was too strong! It was as if he could kill them with just a thought.

No wonder he's the strongest student in the academy and the dream man of countless girls!

Xiao Xue and Han Yue both had the same thought in their minds, while Xiao Ziyan, being rather carefree, pouted and punched Xiao Xuanyuan's head with her chubby little fist, saying angrily, "You big bad uncle, don't let your aura out, it's making it hard for Xiao Ziyan to breathe."

Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. In an instant, the powerful aura around him vanished without a trace.

As dusk fell and the sun dipped below the western mountains, the beautiful night began. The banquet lasted until around 9 PM, and after the guests had all left, Luo Nan Palace gradually returned to tranquility.

Xiao Xuanyuan evaporated the last trace of alcohol from his body and walked gracefully towards a beautifully decorated palace filled with bright red auspicious colors, which was the bridal chamber where he would be spending his wedding night.

Pushing open the palace gate, Xiao Xuanyuan walked in with an air of nonchalance. Under the bright red candles, he calmly approached the large bed, which was decorated in a festive red hue.

The bed was covered with a large red quilt with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, large red double pillows, and red curtains that hung down over the entire bed. Most importantly, there was a graceful and beautiful figure sitting at the head of the bed, covered with a large red veil with a dragon and phoenix design.

With a smile, Xiao Xuanyuan stretched out the golden scepter and slowly lifted the large red veil. Under the bright light of a pair of large red candles, an extremely beautiful face came into view. Her eyebrows were drawn and her makeup was light, and she was stunningly beautiful, like a fairy descended to earth, peerless in the world.

For a moment, Xiao Xuanyuan was completely mesmerized!

Seeing Xiao Xuanyuan in front of her, dressed in a bright red groom's suit, looking dashing with a high ponytail, Nangong Wan smiled repeatedly. For some reason, the more she looked at this rascal's face, the more attractive he became, and the more she liked him.

"You brat, what's wrong? Why are you standing there like an idiot?" Nangong Wan smiled, her beauty like that of a fairy, and gave her a reproachful look.

"My wife, you are so beautiful, I am completely mesmerized." Xiao Xuanyuan stretched out his bottom and sat down next to her, reaching out to grasp her slender, fair hands. They were soft and smooth, and he couldn't bear to let them go.

"Who's your wife? You should call me Master!" Nangong Wan grabbed his hands and smacked Xiao Xuanyuan hard on the head, making him almost cry out in pain.

Xiao Xuanyuan rubbed the spot where he had been hit, glaring at him and saying, "Why did you hit me?"
