325: Chapter 325 An Unreachable Perfect Ending

Her laughter was as crisp as silver bells.

"My King, have you been under too much pressure recently preparing for our wedding, to the point of having nightmares?"

Su Daji cupped his face, her eyes filled with the relief of having survived a catastrophe.

"The natural disaster has long since passed, and those otherworldly demons that attempted to invade Blue Star have also been completely wiped out by our joint efforts."

"Now, the Great Xia and even the entire Blue Star are peaceful and prosperous; there are no more monsters."

"As for me..."

A glimmer of mischief flashed in Su Daji's eyes.

"I thought I was surely going to die, and my body had already been frozen in an ice coffin by you all."

"But the Heavenly Dao showed mercy, and in consideration of me guarding the human realm for nine hundred years, it bestowed supreme fortune, allowing me to regain my life."

Su Daji's fingertips gently brushed against the bridge of his nose, her tone carrying a hint of playful reproach.

"Have you forgotten?"

"Today is our wedding day."

"As the heroes who saved Blue Star, all of humanity is hosting this grand wedding for us!"

Su Chen turned his head with a bewildered expression.

He looked at Ye Jingjun, Cang Mingyue, Su Wanyue, Teacher Wang Jin, and Jiang Luoli.

These five women, also dressed in stunning wedding gowns, all looked at him with eyes full of love and nodded with smiles.

It seemed as though they were confirming what Su Daji had said.

The space-time he was currently in.

No longer had war, death, or that suffocating despair.

There were loved ones by his side, and a peaceful, prosperous era.

This was clearly what Su Chen, in countless days and nights...

...had been bitterly longing for and dreaming of seeing in the deepest part of his heart: the perfect ending.

But...

For some reason, standing in this room filled with the scent of flowers...

...a lingering sense of discordance kept haunting Su Chen's heart.

He looked at the excessively bright sunlight outside the window, and at the flawless smile of Su Daji in his arms.

He always felt that everything before his eyes was truly a bit unreal.

It was like an oil painting forcibly pieced together with the most brilliant colors.

Perfect.

Yet hollow and fleeting.

"No... everything is too fast."

"Who exactly wiped out the monsters? Who closed the rifts?"

"It shouldn't be like this."

Su Chen muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.

"My King, stop letting your imagination run wild; the auspicious time is almost here."

Su Daji gently bit his earlobe, interrupting his thoughts.

"The guests outside are getting impatient."

"We should go out; if we miss the auspicious time that Jinyu worked so hard to calculate, she will be angry."

Su Chen shook his head and took a deep breath.

He forcibly cast aside the uneasy concerns in his mind.

Regardless of whether this was a dream, at least in this moment, they were all by his side.

As long as he could see them well and touch their warmth...

...what else could be important?

If it was a dream, then let him sink into this dream for a lifetime and never wake up.

He reached out, his left hand tightly holding Su Daji, and his right hand tightly holding Zhuge Jinyu, who was standing at the door to welcome him with the demeanor of a young wife.

Surrounded by the other five peerless brides.

Su Chen took a step and followed them out of the lounge door.

Pushing open the heavy double doors.

His field of vision suddenly opened up.

What appeared before Su Chen's eyes...

...was a magnificent hall so grand it could not be described in words.

The dome of the hall was inlaid with countless brilliant night-luminescent pearls, like a river of stars hung upside down.

The floor was covered with a soft, thick red velvet carpet.

Both sides were filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.

The air was filled with the mellow fragrance of various divine nectars.

Here, countless guests from Great Xia and other countries had gathered.

There were high-ranking officials from the official Hall of Valor, martial artists from the Huayu Association, and Taoist priests from Wangchen Temple.

There were even some ordinary people who had crossed paths with Su Chen before.

For example, neighbors, classmates, and childhood friends who had once shown kindness to Su Chen.

Everyone was gathered together, drinking and chatting happily.

Seeing Su Chen and the seven brides enter, thunderous applause and deafening cheers erupted in the hall.

Rose petals filled the sky, falling in profusion from the ceiling.

Like a gorgeous rain of flowers.

"Congratulations, Mr. Su!"

"Wishing Mr. Su and your wives a harmonious union for a hundred years!"

"Brother Su is awesome! You've accomplished so many things we wanted to do but couldn't!"

In the joyful atmosphere, Su Chen held the brides' hands.

Stepping on the soft red carpet.

Walking step by step toward the high platform at the end of the hall.

There, an officiant in a crisp suit was standing in front of the platform with a smile, waiting for their arrival.

Su Chen looked at the officiant's face; at first, he only felt it looked somewhat familiar.

When they walked to the front of the platform and clearly saw the officiant's face.

Su Chen's heartbeat suddenly stalled.

It was a middle-aged man with a refined, even somewhat handsome and resolute face, wearing his black hair long.

Like a martial arts hero who had walked out of some ancient-style game.

At this moment, wearing the officiant's suit, he looked somewhat discordant.

When Ye Jingjun saw this man, tears faintly flashed in her phoenix eyes.

She stepped forward alone, facing the man.

The man looked at Ye Jingjun, who was wearing a wedding gown, with eyes full of love, his gaze shimmering with a father's pride and tears.

He stepped forward and took Ye Jingjun's gloved hand.

Smiling, he placed his daughter's hand...

...solemnly into Su Chen's hand.

"Su Chen, I entrust Jingjun to you."

"From now on, you must treat her well and never let her suffer any grievances."

The man patted Su Chen's shoulder and urged him earnestly, his voice deep and warm.

At the moment he saw this man.

A thunderbolt exploded in Su Chen's brain.

Tearing the brilliant veil covering his eyes to shreds.

This man, even if he were ground into dust, Su Chen would still recognize him.

That was Ye Yuan!

He was Ye Jingjun's adoptive father from the second round of investment.

But!

Ye Yuan had, long ago in that Great Ning investment world...

...in Donglai Prefecture...

...burned up all his cultivation to fulfill the wishes of himself and Ye Jingjun, and after recasting his body, he had exhausted his strength and died in battle!

He died in the Great Ning of a thousand years ago, with no remains left.

How could he possibly appear in the real world of Blue Star?

How could he possibly be wearing a modern suit, serving as the officiant for his wedding?

Su Chen's breathing instantly became rapid, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead like a waterfall.

He stared fixedly at Ye Yuan's smiling face.

Then he turned his head and looked at the seven brides with flower-like smiles beside him.

At that moment, Su Chen completely woke up.

He knew that everything before his eyes—this grand wedding, this peaceful era, these regained loved ones, this hall full of laughter...

...was all, damn it, an illusion created by the Sharingan!
