Chapter 1070  : Magnificent Scene at Lake Tai

“Boss, we’re at Lake Tai! Come and take a look at the red carpet we’ve prepared for you over the past half a month.”

When he heard Little North’s impatient urges, Happy could vaguely feel the speed of the carriage suddenly become much slower. The neighs and the galloping sounds coming from in front also rapidly diminished in number, they were curious. The girl in his arms smiled like a fox, and he pushed open the door of the carriage.

What they saw was a parade standing neatly by the sides of the road where the carriage was situated. The areas beside them were filled with players who craned their necks to look. Happy could not see the end to the crowd.

“There’re so many people!”

Happy was shocked by the scene outside.

The tunnel was hundreds of feet long, and players filled the sides of the road to watch. He could already see more than one hundred thousand people within sight.

Thud, thud, thud...

The eight handsome and white horses pulled the carriage and slowly headed into the path that was isolated by the parade.

The sound of clothes fluttering was heard. Petals filled the air, and they fell down like raindrops from the sky. They were accompanied by an elegant and refreshing fragrance, causing the incredibly magnificent and joyful red carpet to be filled with a charming and lively air.

When they faced countless heated and envious gazes, Happy and Xu Xin, who had a red covering over her head, sat together at the front of the carriage. He could not help but extend his hand to catch a petal that fell on the bell. He was a little dazzled by the new moves Silver Wolf and his group continued bringing on the table, but he could sense the meticulousness in every inch of the ceremony, and it brought him warmth in his heart. This feeling was, indeed, pretty good.

He first encountered a parade formed by ten thousand people that escorted him for hundreds of miles. Then, he sat in a comfy and wide carriage with a jade bell. This was followed by a red carpet and a petal shower. Their entire trip here was also incredibly smooth, and it was not difficult for him to see that Silver Wolf and the others had spent a lot of effort in this.

Happy started longing to see what would happen next, and he was incredibly excited. The players who were watching by the side also felt that their trip here had not been wasted.

They saw a grand and luxurious carriage with a jade bell, handsome white horses that were worth ten thousand taels of gold, a red parade number to ten thousand people, and it was grand. There were even youthful girls flying about in the sky like immortals while they were dressed in red dresses. They threw the petals in their flower baskets, allowing the parade to feel as if they were walking down a path filled with petals and the fragrance of flowers in the immortals’ world. It looked grand and extravagant.

“I saw Happy.”

“Who’s the bride?”

“Whew... take a video, quick. All the girls in Mu Clan are beautiful...”

“This whole spectacle sure is grand, but it seems like something is missing, right?”

There were also quite a number of people in the crowd who watched the carriage lead the parade to the port with envious, jealous, and hateful gazes. They whispered among themselves while picking the smallest of faults in the parade.

“Where’s the music?”

When a number of people thought of this, the parade finally got close to the port of Lake Tai.

*****

Before the carriage drew close to the bank, it stopped. Many of the players who were waiting over there suddenly sensed something, and a thought popped up in their heads. They turned their heads to look at the depths of Lake Tai. They could hear vague zither notes coming from it. It sounded like a proper piece, and it came from a layer of fog, which was located at the depths of Lake Tai.

The zither notes were mixed with sounds that made it something was coming toward them courageously.

When they heard this, a lot of people instantly became alert.

They originally thought that they would need to wait for a while before they could enter Mantuo Villa even when the parade was already facing Lake Tai, but now, they finally obtained their answer.

Two fast sailing ships tied with two red silk clothes shot out of the thin layer of fog, and tied on the bows of the ships were the large Chinese characters 囍, which meant double happiness.

Then, dozens of other fast sailing ships shot out.

Soon, more than one hundred ships filled the lake.

And in the blink of an eye, hundreds of ships charged out of the thin layer of fog in Lake Tai. They were originally vague, but they soon became clear, and they moved so quickly that they were like speedboats.

There were a lot more dense black dots behind these ships, and they were shown in the scattered fog. There were a lot of them, and they gave off the presence that a navy was meeting up with a legion of cavaliers

Many pairs of eyes at the bank could not help but be dumbfounded when they saw this impressive and spectacular scene.

Those people who had been talking about how there was no music also shut up, because there were three musicians on each of the hundreds of ships who led the other ships.

Zither sounds filled the air, and they were accompanied by other instruments. They instantly decorated the quiet Lake Tai until it looked like a lake of music. The happy music elegant traveled leisurely on Lake Tai. When the ships drew close to the lake, they harmoniously welcomed the parade who came from afar.

The ships changed formation when they drew close to the shore.

All the ships with musicians on them moved to the sides and formed two independent camps to keep a distance from the bank.

A large fleet of ships sailed forward from behind. By now, there were already at least one thousand ships that entered the people’s sights.

They formed groups, and each group had six ships forming a line.

They were neat and orderly, and they appeared in a manner as if they only wanted to appear after the people started complaining about how it was impossible for Mu Clan to not delay the wedding.

Two Mu Clan members could be found on each ship.

Right when the batch of ships that were at the forefront drew close to the bank, the Mu Clan members on the ships quickly brought out a wide wooden plank from their Universe Bags, positioned it horizontally, and fixed it to the ships near to them.

They then used two hidden weapons which were usually used in battle to quietly fix the ships in place with hidden force.

A path which was wider than sixty-five feet was fixed between the ships by the bank.

The ships behind also quickly fixed themselves in place in this manner. Then, they used ropes which they had prepared beforehand to catch the ships in front of them.

In a flash, a delightful red carpet connected with red silk was swiftly formed on Lake Tai in a fantastic manner before everyone’s eyes.

The red carpet was, of course, made up of these countless red ships connected together. They spread out into Lake Tai in a steady fashion before the carriage and countless players.

Wind Chimes had left the parade at some point of time, and she personally led the large group of zither players by the sides of the red carpet made of ships to play a joyous tune that was as smooth as the water running down from mountains.

When they saw this scene, many of the players by the bank were full of excitement, and warmth filled their hearts.

It was no wonder why the Mu Clan members had repeatedly stressed that the wedding would not be delayed.

‘So, aside from the ten-thousand man parade, Mu Clan had also mobilized a large amount of manpower to spontaneously create a red carpet on the water. They actually managed to instantly lay out a path on the water that leads to Mantuo Villa!’

“Who designed this...?”

“Whoever it is, he or she is a genius.”

“Whew.”

“Do you see the zither players by the sides. I think the person in the lead is Demonic Sound Duchess.”

magic “The one leading the xiao players seems like Eastern Heretic’s disciple.”

Countless players discussed this matter by the bank, and their voices soon caused the people at the bank to notice the situation at the bank. The crowd was rife with excitement, and the atmosphere quickly became lively. If it were not for the fact that there were a lot of Mu Clan members and a lot of people from the other three sects in the four great sects around to maintain order in the crowd, these people might have already been unable to hold themselves back from running to the bank to admire this glorious scene.

“Who came up with this plan?”

“Phoenix Dances and the girls in the University of South China used a total of 63,679 ships. Well, boss? We didn’t embarrass you, right?”

Little North took up the role of the carriage’s coachman on short notice. Since he was dressed in red as well, he looked high in spirits, and he also giggled at Happy with a smug look on his face.

“...Draw all the money required in this event from my contribution points. Also, convert all the time you spent in this into contribution points, and make it double. I can’t let all of you waste your time and money for me.” Happy did not know what sort of expression he should have at that moment. But with so many people watching, he could only maintain a faint, stiff smile on his face while he “viciously” sent a private message to Little North.

“Hehe.” Little North, of course, knew that Happy was actually very pleased with what he saw. He turned his head around and cracked the whip, and the carriage slowly moved on the red carpet.

The petal shower followed.

Beneath their feet were ships that moved up and down because of buoyancy. In the air was the rather damp fog from the lake and petal shower that was filled with an elegant fragrance, along with pleasant music that filled Lake Tai.

This scene caused Happy and Xu Xin to feel as if they had fallen into the world of immortals, and they felt as if they were moving on clouds.

As the carriage slowly moved on the red carpet, the parade stayed at the sides of the red carpet to sandwich the path so that they could welcome the numerous excited players who came from everywhere to attend the wedding.

But when these excited people walked on the red carpet, they were no longer as relaxed as before once they came face to face with the dignified, stern, luxurious, and grand parade. They did not want to joke around either.

While many Mu Clan members with high qi realms watched them, they nervously raised their feet to walk on the red carpet and enjoyed the feeling moving up and down because of the ships, which made them feel as if they were in paradise, but at the same time, they were as nervous as girls getting on sedan chairs.

“Darn it, it’s too embarrassing.” A man with a golden emblem sewn on his chest only managed to take a few steps forward before he could not help but pour out his woes to another sect master who walked together with him. “While I was fighting in the war at the plains, I was never this nervous, not even when I fought against Hu Bilie’s Golden Horde. During that time, I killed as much as I drank water. I didn’t think that a day like this would come to me, where I feel as if my feet don’t even belong to me when I walk.”

Right after he spoke, the sect master next to him gave him a wan smile. “We’re in the same boat.”

The people at the back were clearly not that much better.

While they were on their way, they would occasionally run into some of the friends they were familiar with in Mu Clan’s parade or some of the rather famous people in various parts of the game. They wrapped their fists in their palms and saluted these people nonstop.

These sect masters had come over here to join the wedding to congratulate Happy, and they also wanted to form a good relationship with the four great sects.

Compared to these people’s cautious attitude, which reflected even in the way they spoke, those players who came here purely to admire the wedding of the century were not as respectful and shocked.

“Those friends of mine will definitely be so envious when they see the situation over here...”

“Yeah. I wonder just how much money is spent just making this path. Whew...”

“Seriously, you’re so crass. How could you be talking about money in front of Mu Clan?”

“Heh heh...”

“The parade we met on our way here is already an eye-opener. I didn’t expect that the red carpet made of ships would be even more interesting. I wonder if it will be even livelier when we get into Mantuo Villa. Ah... I really want to go there immediately...”

“Don’t run around. Be quiet.”

“It should be fine if we use lightness skills, right? I saw someone use Illusory Demonic Steps on the lake just now.”

“It’s fine if you use lightness skills, just don’t use martial arts. You’re surrounded by Mu Clan members, and we even have some from Chivalry Sect around us... What the heck? They’re staring at us! Come on, do they just have to do this just because we look a little uglier?”

There were two people in the surging, and they had average looks. While they sent private messages to each other, someone suddenly came up from behind them and whispered, “You’re the Dual Soaring Thieves, right? The duo who are running wild at Lingnan?”

When they heard the person speak, these two people had their expressions change. Their gazes shone with nervousness as they quickly smiled obsequiously. “Brother, you must be joking. The Dual Soaring Thieves at Lingnan are an ugly looking bunch. They’re very easy to recognize. You’ve got the wrong person.”

That person stared at the duo calmly and said with a flat tone, “Is it now? Those in the Embroidered Uniform Guards have a way to see through those wearing human skin masks. Who do you think you’re trying to fool with your little tricks? There are plenty of us in Mu Clan, Chivalry Sect, and Wind Assault Tower who are working in Embroidered Uniform Guards. Think about this carefully. If anything happens during the clan master’s wedding and it has something to do with you... Just think about it carefully.”

Once he finished speaking, that person did not say anything else. He turned around and walked into the crowd, leaving those two behind to be drenched in cold sweat, because they had indeed been harboring some ulterior motives. They suddenly felt that the Mu Clan members’ gazes on them were actually full of malicious intentions, even though they were just watching them from both sides of the road.
