My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 501 Si Lisao’s Dragon Clan Goes into Rut 2

Si Lisao also took Ye Siyuan sightseeing at various tourist spots. However, each time they had just finished visiting a place, Si Mingjing and his group would only just arrive. Thus, the two groups perfectly missed each other. Ye Shen, upon seeing the Moments Ye Siyuan posted online, commented repeatedly, "Sis, couldn’t you wait for us?"

"Not waiting!" She was enjoying her alone time with him; she had no desire to hang out with a whole bunch of people!

Ye Shen, not willing to give up, pulled out the big guns by mentioning Mo Yinhe. "Big Bro told you to wait."

Ye Siyuan was so scared she shut her phone off right away, afraid that Mo Yinhe would appear and break up the lovebirds.

The next day was the day before Si Mingjing’s ascension to the throne. She had no time to accompany anyone else, as her schedule was packed from morning until night.

Before the coronation, there was a grand ceremony to pay homage to the heavens. It was held at the Dragon King Temple, presided over by the High Priest, and Si Mingjing had to perform the "Dragon Dance" on the sacrificial altar to pray for the gods’ blessing on the Mu Continent. The scene was solemn and dignified.

Countless citizens flocked to the Dragon King Temple, kept at the outer perimeter of the altar, watching from a distance. Only a few wealthy and powerful individuals got their hands on tickets for the inner area. The tickets to the inner area weren’t released to the public and couldn’t be bought. Those privileged enough to enter were the envy of the people stuck on the outside.

Theoretically, attendance at the Mu Continent’s most sacred and solemn temple wasn’t traditionally required for Ye Siyuan and Ye Shen. Due to their status, Ye Xinguang and Ye Junqing also didn’t come to watch their daughter-in-law’s heavenly ceremony. However, Ye Siyuan couldn’t resist the itching desire in her heart to see her beloved and insisted on dragging Ye Shen along with her.

The two of them sneaked in, of course without tickets to the inner area, squeezing in with the masses. The crowd was incredibly lively and packed.

Ye Shen was sweating buckets. "Second sis, are we really not going to use our connections to get a ticket to the inner area?"

"Carry me on your back, I can hardly see anything!"

Ye Siyuan could only see the tops of heads, so she climbed onto Ye Shen’s shoulders, using him as a human ladder. Poor Ye Shen!

"I see him!" exclaimed Ye Siyuan excitedly.

"You saw your sister-in-law?"

"No, I see Si Lisao."

Ye Shen’s head was covered in figurative black lines. "Weren’t you two secretly meeting just yesterday afternoon? Why are you so excited about seeing him now?"

Ye Siyuan ignored Ye Shen. She was perched on his back, craning her neck. From a distance, she gazed at the man exuding an imposing aura, dignified and commanding attention. He stood tall like a crane amongst chickens, surrounded by high-status dignitaries, standing on the designated high platform of the altar.

Ye Shen, exhausted, murmured, "Second sis, have you seen enough? I’m dying here!"

"Is that all the strength you have?"

Ye Siyuan didn’t want to get down from Ye Shen’s back and teased, "If this is all the strength you’ve got, won’t Tangtang despise you in the future?"

"Get lost! Tangtang only has eyes for me!"

Ye Siyuan reached out, smacking Ye Shen on the head. "Don’t be so disrespectful. Carry me for a little while longer. I’ll take a few pictures and then get down."

Holding her DSLR camera, Ye Siyuan wanted to capture Si Lisao’s most handsome side. At such a solemn sacrificial event, Si Lisao was dressed exceptionally formally. He wasn’t in a suit and leather shoes but in the traditional attire of the Mu Continent, which slightly resembled ancient costumes and was altogether quite unique. Ye Siyuan had never seen him dressed so retro and alluring before and wanted to take a few more photos.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Si Lisao, with a stern face, suddenly glanced towards the crowd.

A jolt went through Ye Siyuan’s heart. Could Si Lisao have spotted her? No way! With the surging crowd and heads everywhere, how could Si Lisao possibly find her amidst thousands, picking her out of the crowd with just a glance?

The next moment, Ye Shen dragged her down from his back, saying, "I can’t do this anymore, it’s killing me!"

"You..." Ye Siyuan wanted to take a couple more shots; this was such a letdown.

"Second Sister, stand firm! Don’t fall over!"

The place was so crowded that one could hardly maintain balance. Ye Shen protected Ye Siyuan with great difficulty.

Eventually feeling tired, he grabbed Ye Siyuan’s hand and pulled her out of the crowd, saying, "Let’s not watch this anymore. When Sister-in-law dances later, it looks like the people will have to kneel for blessings. As a Princess and Prince of Atlantis, do we have to kneel too? Will we have any face left?"

"Alright." Ye Siyuan reviewed the photos she had taken; they were perfect, and she was satisfied.

After the two of them squeezed out from the packed crowd and took a moment to relax, they were about to leave when suddenly, Si Lisao’s Chief of Staff, Xiao Changsheng, approached with great respect. He bowed to Ye Siyuan, saying, "Second Princess, our Crown Prince invites you to watch the event from the inner area."

"Ah? How did he know..." Could it be that he really spotted her in the crowd moments before?

"Second Princess, Third Prince, please follow me this way."

Ye Shen asked Ye Siyuan, "Sis, shall we go?"

"Since they’ve invited us, it would be too disrespectful not to go."

Ye Shen agreed, so the two of them followed Xiao Changsheng and were invited to the VIP seats in the front row of the inner area.

Now they finally didn’t have to deal with the crowd and break out in a sweat!

However, even in the inner area, there were no chairs to sit on! The Heaven Worship Ceremony of the Mu Continent was a very solemn and sacred large-scale sacrificial event, not a show for your viewing pleasure.

Ye Siyuan estimated the distance between herself and Si Lisao; it was less than five meters.

Si Lisao turned around and gave her a glance, a faint touch of tenderness at the corner of his lips.

Ye Siyuan’s heart skipped a beat.

Ye Shen, standing next to Ye Siyuan, gave Si Lisao a glaring look.

Si Lisao then shifted his gaze away.

「The sacrificial event began.」

The initial rituals took about half an hour.

The grand drumming began, and finally, Si Mingjing made her entrance, descending from the sky to the rhythm of the drumbeats, dancing on the altar. Her appearance stirred great excitement among the masses.

She was performing the "Dragon Dance." Nationwide live broadcast!

Bai Jiusi might have become famous worldwide with a single "Dragon Dance." However, as Si Mingjing performed the "Dragon Dance" on the Mu Continent at this moment, the emotions of the people watching the live broadcast were entirely different. In their eyes, Si Mingjing was the Saintess, blessing the Mu Continent with her dance! This was no longer just a dance; it was a portent of auspiciousness!

The High Priest stood by, tears of excitement brimming in his eyes! This was a highlight that could be recorded in bold strokes in the history of his tenure as High Priest. Which other High Priest had been blessed with such a circumstance, to actually witness the return of the Saintess to the mortal world?

That woman in the spotlight, Si Mingjing, was also experiencing a roller coaster of emotions.

Her memories took her back to a time before the Mu Continent was submerged by the sea. It was then she last performed the "Dragon Dance," praying for divine blessings to help the Mu Continent survive the great prehistoric deluge. She had danced the "Dragon Dance" at that time with a heart filled with despair.

Tens of thousands of years later, as stars shifted in the sky and seas transformed the land, she stood on the altar again, praying for blessings for the Mu Continent. She felt reassured: Heaven still took pity on the Mu Continent! Not only did it pity the Mu Continent, but it also pitied her!

Back then, her love with Mo Yinhe had no foreseeable future. But now, she was about to marry Mo Yinhe in a grand ceremony the very next day. She was looking forward to it immensely!
