Chapter 224: Chapter 182: Xu Yang Enters the Underworld (Seeking Subscription)_2
The old man visited me in a dream?
That could make sense.
After all, his wedding had been intentionally spread by Yue Qiluo around the entire western territory of Xi Xia. Who doesn’t know about the huge wedding between the “Northwest Hammer King” and the two Yue family sisters now?
“Master Xu, have you set a time and place for your wedding banquet?”
Wan Baolu said: “How about this… I’ll arrange a few female anchors to come and sing and dance, creating an atmosphere. Also, an emcee… I know people in that circle as well. And the wedding car… ”
“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Wan.”
Xu Yang smiled: “I don’t need a wedding car, as I’ve planned a traditional wedding with a bridal sedan… But an emcee would be great. I almost forgot about it if you hadn’t mentioned it.”
Having a few female anchors singing and dancing is indeed a good thing.
Yue Qiluo has arranged for the music and dance, claiming to have borrowed professional female ghosts from the ghost market who are excellent in singing and dancing. So it would be great to have some female anchors to create a lively atmosphere.
Moreover, since Wan Baolu runs a media company, he has all the necessary equipment and can easily set up the stage without Xu Yang worrying about it.
Seeing Xu Yang nodding, Wan Baolu was delighted.
Getting closer to such a “master” would certainly benefit his future development.
He asked: “By the way, Master Xu… can I arrange for your wedding to be live- streamed? Considering your status, the wedding must be grand. A live-stream could generate a lot of attention.”
“No.”
Xu Yang shook his head and said seriously: “This is not negotiable. My wedding is indeed extraordinary, and that’s why it can’t be live-streamed… Otherwise, the video might spread and cause worldwide panic.”
Wan Baolu was shocked.
Worldwide panic?
Could it be that serious?
Nevertheless, he didn’t know that Xu Yang wasn’t lying.
At the time, a large number of Yin spirits and malevolent beings would attend the wedding… and even a battle might break out!
Although there are more and more “strange cases” happening all over the world these days, no country has completely gone public with them. There are various supernatural rumors and collections of strange events online, but those stories have no video or pictures as evidence and are taken as entertainment by many people.
Another busy day.
In the afternoon, Xu Yang went to the mall and picked up the wedding clothes and bridal coronets he had ordered. He burned four sets—one for Liu Shishi, one for Yang Yin, and the sisters Yue Qiluo, and the last one for Yun Mengxi.
That night.
After having dinner at home, the five brides went to Yue Mansion.
As the brides, they needed to stay in Yue Mansion tonight, getting ready for tomorrow morning—makeup, hairdressing, and then following the wedding procession down the mountain to the wedding venue at the farmhouse.
Xu Yang went to the farmhouse once again and instructed Yang Wancheng to vacate a large room as a temporary bridal chamber.
Besides that, the farmhouse also needed to be decorated.
Considering the presence of numerous Yin spirits and malevolent beings at his wedding, Xu Yang set the wedding time at 8:30 PM.
In summer, the sun sets at 8:30 PM in Wu City.
“Oh right!”
“And the wedding banners… I want them posted starting from the farmhouse, along the road and on roadside trees and utility poles.”
Xu Yang didn’t have to worry about the firecrackers and such.
Ma Long had already taken care of all those things.
Xu Yang busied himself until 10 PM before returning to Wu City.
Instead of going back to the villa, he went to the funeral home, grabbed some paper money and paper offerings, bought two bottles of good wine at the supermarket, and walked out of the city into the suburban cemetery, sitting in front of his grandfather’s grave.
Xu Yang had the grave of the old man repaired.
He knew there were no remains in the grave, but at that moment, Xu Yang had nowhere else to go.
He burned all the paper money and paper offerings.
Xu Yang poured a bottle of wine in front of the old man’s grave and took the other bottle for himself, drinking and saying, “Old man… you were a divine power expert in the Divine Transcendence Realm, and you’ve been down there for more than four years. Why haven’t you come back to see me?”
“You used to scold me, saying I would never be able to get married when I grow up…”
“But now I’m getting married, and I’m marrying five women at once!”
Xu Yang said with teary eyes and a smile.
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but cry again.
He activated his fire elemental essence to evaporate his tears, and continued: “The grudges you made in your life, I’ve carried them forwards. The things you lost, I’ll personally help you get them back.”
“You just enjoy yourself down there.”
“When you’re free, come back and see me. If you can’t, just visit me in a dream.”
“When the Yin-Yang Path is reconnected and the Ghost Gate is wide open, I’ll find an opportunity to take your granddaughters-in-law down there to see you…”
Xu Yang remained at his grandfather’s grave until 1 AM, before returning waveringly to the funeral home.
He didn’t cultivate.
Instead of painting talismans, he went to the second floor and fell asleep in bed.
In his drowsiness…
Wind began to blow.
Xu Yang opened his eyes, finding himself in a gray world surrounded by endless withered trees. Beneath his feet was a muddy and bumpy path.
In the sky, human head lanterns carrying red candles flew around like fireflies.
“Is this…”
“My dream?”
Xu Yang rubbed his eyes, wondering: “What’s going on? Why would I have a dream like this?”
He followed the small path and walked ahead, not knowing for how long, until he suddenly discovered…
