Chapter 393: Wu Tian and Cai Lin Are Being Urged to Marry?!!
Wu Tian's eyes suddenly turned sharp. If these elders dared to meddle even in his marital affairs, he wouldn't mind ensuring that the Serpent Tribe had no elders left in the future.
The Fourth Elder's eyes flickered with a strange light before she suddenly smiled and said, "Guardian Elder, you've misunderstood. While it's true that the tribe's laws include the 'Ten Thousand Serpents' Devour' punishment, you were the one who created that rule. Naturally, it wouldn't apply to you."
"Besides, rules are dead, but people are alive. What we meant to say is that since you and Her Majesty have confirmed your relationship, shouldn't you hold a grand wedding?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Your Majesty, Guardian Elder, you two have already acknowledged each other. Why not tie the knot officially?"
"We old folks are so bored we're practically dying of idleness! If you two don't have time to arrange this wedding, we'll take care of everything!"
"That's right! We old folks are very experienced in these matters. You just need to sit back and wait. We're only here to ask if you'd like to finalize your marriage soon."
"Of course, some important details need to be confirmed by you both, but don't worry it won't take much of your time!"
"Exactly! Just give us a rough date, and we'll handle everything else!"
"......"
Wu Tian: "Wait, this isn't about enduring the Ten Thousand Serpents' Devour? You're talking about… MARRIAGE???"
Medusa: "…Marriage???"
At that moment, both Wu Tian and Cai Lin were completely stunned.
As powerful cultivators, they rarely lost composure but this situation left them speechless.
What was happening?
They originally thought these elders wanted to discuss the cleansing ritual for Medusa's transformation or perhaps modifications to the tribe's laws.
But now… they were being pressured into marriage?!
For Medusa, who was experiencing this kind of thing for the first time, her beautiful face instantly flushed red like a burning flame.
She and Wu Tian had already confirmed their relationship, but due to their many enemies and responsibilities, an official wedding had never been planned.
They hadn't even worried about it yet!
But these incredibly idle elders were worried on their behalf!
Marriage… Were they really going to get married?!
Cai Lin's long, narrow eyes shifted slightly, glancing at Wu Tian expectantly, as if waiting for his response.
Wu Tian, on the other hand, was frozen in shock.
Being urged to marry?
Such a legendary event actually existed in the Dou Qi Continent?
These "junior" elders actually had the nerve to rush his wedding?!
However…
They weren't wrong.
Marriage was one of life's great milestones.
He and Cai Lin had already confirmed their relationship, so delaying it forever didn't seem right either.
As a man, it was his responsibility to give his main wife the proper title and recognition.
Wu Tian looked at these old schemers, and instead of being annoyed, he smirked.
"Your words make sense. I'll leave the arrangements to you. Go ahead and handle it."
"However, Serpent Pavilion is currently in the middle of an important phase. The wedding will take place after we've unified the Northwest Region. What do you think, Cai Lin?"
Medusa slightly nodded. Even though she was a proud queen, she still showed a hint of shyness at that moment.
Seeing her agreement, the elders cheered as if they had just succeeded in their lifelong pursuit.
Even the wrinkles on their old faces seemed to smooth out, making them look decades younger!
"Wonderful! Fantastic! We finally have something to do!"
"We'll start preparations tomorrow!"
The elders exchanged excited glances, joy bursting from their expressions. Even their serpent tails swayed in excitement.
Wu Tian observed them, feeling like they were just looking for something to do out of boredom.
These old folks were way too free.
It seemed like he would have to find some real work for them soon.
But wait…
After the wedding… They wouldn't start pressuring them to have children, would they?
Wu Tian's head buzzed at the thought.
Even though he had already had intimate moments with several women, as a cultivator, actually conceiving a child was incredibly difficult.
Passing down a bloodline required tremendous effort, and even with a partner of equal strength, it could take years before a child was conceived.
Not to mention, Wu Tian's power was far beyond the women around him.
If they expected a little cotton padded jacket (a term for a daughter) to appear soon, it would take a very long time.
It seemed he wouldn't just need to increase his own strength he would have to raise the power of his women as well.
Wu Tian turned to the elders and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"There is!"
The Fourth Elder responded immediately.
Medusa looked at her in confusion.
This elder rarely spoke much, but today she was unusually active.
What else could she possibly want?
The Fourth Elder glanced from Wu Tian to Medusa before speaking.
"Your Majesty, as the Queen of the Serpent Tribe, after taking human form, you must undergo one final purification ritual within the tribe."
"Hmm."
Medusa nodded. She was already aware of this cleansing ritual.
She looked at Wu Tian, silently seeking his opinion.
"Very well, let's do it now," she said.
Wu Tian had no objections.
Even though he had already baptized Medusa in Heavenly Flames, that was just an excuse to be close to her…
Back in the magma world, he had indeed infused her with powerful energy, allowing her to successfully transform into human form.
However, the Serpent Tribe's purification ritual was something else entirely.
Since it was their tradition, it was best to honor it properly.
Besides, a proper cleansing would only make her stronger.
Inside the ritual chamber, the three retired elders remained outside, while Wu Tian who should have also waited outside refused to leave.
After all, he couldn't bear to be apart from Medusa.
So, he stayed.
As a result…
Medusa was being purified, while he stood right next to her, watching.
Of course, this kind of breathtaking sight was nothing new to him.
The first time he had ever laid eyes on Medusa, it was in a similarly breathtaking moment.
But even so, no matter how many times he had witnessed such beauty, he couldn't help but feel a rising excitement.
If it weren't for the Fourth Elder's presence, Wu Tian would have personally "cleansed" Medusa himself.
The Fourth Elder exuded a soft blue glow, her hand movements forming complex seals.
Then, three identical copies of herself materialized in different positions around the chamber.
At that moment, a mystical barrier formed.
The water in the ritual pool began to rise, creating soft, flowing waves.
However, these waves were incredibly gentle, slowly caressing Medusa's flawless, porcelain like skin.
The entire scene was ethereal and mesmerizing a spectacle that could make any man wish to become water itself.
The water delicately flowed over her enchanting curves, leaving Wu Tian parched with thirst.
This ritual…
It was too alluring.
Wait…
If this is how it's done, I can do this too!
The Fourth Elder used water based Dou Qi, but he had fire based Dou Qi!
His Heavenly Flames would be far better suited for Medusa's purification!
Wouldn't red flames be a perfect match for her queenly aura?
Outside the chamber, the three old men exchanged glances.
They had been waiting for what felt like forever.
Finally, the door creaked open…
