Chapter 1283: Extra Story: The Grand Wedding 4
As Ashton Todd finished speaking, Ashton Todd, Stella Gibson, Nathan White, Gregory Xander, Evan Anson, Violet Allen, and a group of young Mystical Sect paragons who are close friends with Scarlett Jennings stepped forward together.
Their hands performed a mantra in unison, and six arrays appeared vertically aligned on the jade floor leading to Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers.
The arrays, in six colors, are blessings often given to the younger members of the Mystical Sect.
Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers stepped into the first array hand in hand, which immediately lit up with white spiritual light.
The first color embodies health,
May you remain untroubled by illness, and may all ailments be eradicated.
They proceeded forward into the second array.
The second color embodies fortune,
May calamities stay away from you, bringing only safety and peace.
The third color embodies joy,
May you be free from worries and enjoy a life of happiness.
The fourth color embodies solace,
May pain not touch you, and may sorrow be scarce.
The fifth color embodies harmony,
May your life be smooth without mishaps, living harmoniously.
The sixth color embodies fulfillment,
May your life be without regrets, and may fortune favor you.
The six-colored arrays symbolize six different blessings.
Yet truly, those who know Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers are aware that with their identities, ailments, disasters, sorrows, and worries would naturally stay away from them in the Mortal Realm.
The blessings of the array may not be as protective as their own Spiritual Power.
But still, this remains a pure blessing from Ashton Todd and the Mystical Sect for Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers.
It’s not about what she possesses, but purely about their heartfelt wishes for her, her, and him.
The six-colored spiritual lights seemed to encircle Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers’ feet.
Under the rain of meteors and petals, Scarlett Jennings looked at the guests before her.
Scenes of her becoming acquainted with these people flashed briefly across her mind.
Destined encounters are like the threads of fate weaving their way together.
Her journey here has been lined with the presence of these people.
And she, eventually, from being alone, has gained many family members, friends, and... a beloved at her side.
Even though she is usually calm and composed, Scarlett Jennings couldn’t help but feel a slight warmth around her eyes.
Sensing her emotional waves, Samuel Chalmers’ grip on her hand tightened slightly.
The warmth from his palm was the testament of his presence.
With a shimmer of moisture in her almond eyes, Scarlett Jennings finally stepped through the six-colored arrays with Samuel Chalmers, moving toward the central altar bit by bit.
As they stepped out of the arrays, several small figures swiftly flew to their front, like flower children leading their way, joyously dancing and skipping ahead.
At the forefront was Shellback.
It still had the fierce image of a Crocodile Tortoise, yet now adorned with a red flower tied to its back.
The red satin tied into a flower nearly engulfed half of its turtle form.
It seemed to bask in enjoyment.
Especially since there were two little papermen tied at the ends of the red satin.
Those familiar with Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers would recognize them.
They are the little papermen they always carried with them.
Liora Gold and Araminta Gold.
The two papermen had been obviously dressed for the occasion today, with little red flowers cut from red paper stuck to their heads and red paper clothes cut specifically for the event.
The cheerful little trio merrily led the way in front.
Meanwhile, behind Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers, Pretty Hamilton and Thalassa Hamilton, who had come along with Jasmine Hamilton, were now walking behind them.
The two fluffy, adorable little foxes had red flowers attached to their backs, holding their heads high with tails swaying elegantly with each step.
Under the gaze of all the guests and those beneath the Heavenly Dao, the two finally reached their destined location.
There was no need for a master of ceremonies, for every ritual was etched deeply within their hearts.
Before performing the rites, Samuel Chalmers first held Scarlett Jennings’ hand.
"You have received the blessings from others, but you haven’t received mine yet."
He had once said he would give her a magnificent wedding witnessed by the world, with the mountains and Dragon Veins as betrothal gifts.
With the Heavenly Path Domain as witness, under the Heavenly Dao, all could testify to their upcoming unity.
The rest would be his betrothal gift.
As Samuel Chalmers raised his hand, Simon stepped forward, and simultaneously, the Benedict Beast that Adam Jennings held in his hand also jumped out.
The jade body at Simon’s side expanded, transforming into the true form of the Benedict Beast.
Accompanied by two streams of Dragon Power dispersing, Samuel Chalmers flipped the two Dragon Powers in his palm.
Everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and the magnificent palace once again transformed into an expansive mountain range.
As everyone beneath the Heavenly Dao had previously seen, the dragon-shaped mountain range spanning Cathay’s land, defended by absolute Fortune.
Samuel Chalmers said,
"My existence was born from your Power of Heavenly Path, my existence comes entirely from you..."
Apart from his former identity, Samuel Chalmers had nothing else.
All he has originates from her.
So today, he gives all he possesses to her.
A Golden Light arose from his palm, then, a stone identical to the heart-vein-shaped Vital Stone hanging from Scarlett Jennings’ chest emerged from the Golden Light.
It was his remaining half-heart.
Scarlett Jennings’ eyes twitched slightly as Samuel Chalmers’ half-heart swiftly approached her chest.
The two Heart Stones came together, finally merging into one.
And as the Heart Stones combined, the mountain beneath them seemed to come alive instantly.
An overwhelming surge of Spiritual Energy enveloped everyone.
Despite standing still, they seemed to perceive the presence of the Dragon Vein within the Spiritual Energy.
It was a Dragon Vein formed by mountains, rivers, and lakes.
"Mountains, rivers, and spirit veins, all are my betrothal gift. This world stands witness, unless heavens decay, my contract shall be eternal."
Samuel Chalmers gazed deep into the eyes of the person before him, his deep voice carrying gravity and solemnness.
With his hand raised and palm extended toward her, he asked,
"Scarlett, will you be my wife? Never to part, never to abandon."
With brilliance shimmering in the depths of her eyes, Scarlett Jennings, under the watchful eyes of all, fixed her gaze unwaveringly on the person before her.
Without hesitation, she raised her hand, aligning her palm with his, earnestly repeating,
"This world stands witness, unless heavens decay, my contract shall be eternal."
She said,
"I do."
As her words fell, she pressed her palm against his.
At that moment, the completely merged Heart Stone hovered, radiating Golden Light between them.
When their palms met, the Heart Stone’s mark was imprinted within.
The once vanished Peach Blossom Mark now finally acquired another mark.
As if sensing a response, the Golden Light Bracelet upon their wrists manifested, swiftly transforming into another stream of Golden Light that joined within their touching palms.
The familiar Power of Heavenly Path dispersed from their palms.
Together with the Heart Stone, it left an intricate and sacred golden mark within the palms of both.
A contract with the Heavenly Path, an acknowledgment by the heavens of their marriage.
No complex wedding procedures, no bustling guests shuttling back and forth, only vows of marriage witnessed and blessed by all.
Today, Scarlett Jennings and Samuel Chalmers, under the witness of the heavenly world, officially became husband and wife.
Thus, the ceremony is completed.
