Chapter 5 Part 5 The Grand Wedding

The computer science department won the final match and officially advanced to the top four of the intercollegiate league. Naturally, the people from the computer science department were overjoyed, but Nai Shawn was nowhere to be seen, much to the disappointment of the girls.

As soon as the match ended, Vivian quickly slipped back to her dormitory, logged into the game, and saw that the avatar of Smiling Naihe in her friends list was already lit up. She sent him a message: "Sorry, I'm late."

Smiling Naihe: "No worries, come to the Matchmaker Temple."

Vivian rode her horse to the Matchmaker Temple and was immediately stunned by the crowd in front of her. She rushed into the temple, relieved to find that there weren't many people inside, just a few standing and chatting.

Vivian walked over to Smiling Naihe: "Why are there so many people?"

Vivian hadn't invited any friends herself, partly because she didn't take it seriously and partly because she felt a bit embarrassed about remarrying so quickly.

Smiling Naihe said, "You should ask them."

Vivian looked at the other people, and one of them, named Timely Rain, said, "Hehe, congratulations! I called everyone in our guild who was free to come. In a moment, we'll ride horses behind the bridal sedan, it should be quite a spectacle."

Another person said, "Our guild is here too."

Timely Rain said, "Everyone's waiting for Naihe's red envelopes, hahaha."

Vivian was sweating; there might be hundreds of people outside. If she had to give everyone a red envelope, Naihe might go bankrupt.

At that moment, Vivian received a trade request from Smiling Naihe. In the trade window were several pieces of equipment. Without even looking closely, just from the glow of the equipment, she knew they were at least of celestial quality. Vivian was shocked: "What's this?"

Smiling Naihe succinctly replied: "Betrothal gifts."

Vivian was moved to tears.

Is this what it feels like to marry into wealth?

It's just, it's just too, too, too satisfying.

However, Vivian quickly calmed down from her dazed state and declined the trade. These pieces of equipment weren't cheap, and she wasn't thick-skinned enough to take them for free.

Smiling Naihe sent another message: "Accept them, you'll need them for future PKs."

So that's how it is. Vivian thought for a moment, made up her mind, and accepted the trade. Then she handed over her best piece of equipment, a speed-boosting ring, to him.

Smiling Naihe sent a question mark.

Vivian said: "Dowry."

On her side of the computer, Vivian blushed a little. She had gotten used to joking around with her team these past few days, and saying such things came naturally. Moreover, her "dowry" was seriously disproportionate to his "betrothal gifts." Embarrassed, Vivian added: "It's a bit lacking, I'll make it up later."

Smiling Naihe sent a smiling emoji: "Okay."

Then he added: "Actually, just having you here is enough."

Vivian blushed even more.

After exchanging betrothal gifts and dowry, the two stood before the statue of the Matchmaker and completed the ceremony. The system announced: Reed Vivian and Smiling Naihe are deeply in love, pledging their lives to each other at the Matchmaker Temple, never to part, forever united.

As soon as this message was broadcast, unsurprisingly, the 'World' channel exploded...

Vivian sat in the bridal sedan, parading through the streets, while watching the players on the 'World' channel flood the chat. Since the bride didn't have to walk, Vivian had nothing to do and casually picked up a level six practice test to work on.

Everyone on the 'World' channel was discussing the two weddings that took place over the past three days. Some were saying nice things, others were sarcastic, and some were mocking Smiling Naihe for picking up Jason Purewater's leftovers. Vivian ignored them all, but she noted down the ID of the person who mocked them, deciding to cut them down whenever she saw them in the future.

There was also an interesting player making comparisons.

'World' [Splashing Water]:

Groom, Smiling Naihe VS Jason Purewater, Smiling Naihe wins!

Bride, Reed Vivian VS Little Rain Fairy, Little Rain Fairy wins!

Wedding scene, just look at the number of fireworks, Smiling Naihe wins completely!

Immediately, a familiar face popped up.

'World' [Yu Gong Climbing the Mountain]: Who says Little Rain Fairy wins? Our third sister-in-law is much better than Little Rain Fairy, don't believe it? Come PK.

'World' [Monkey Wine]: Come PK, come PK, come PK, come PK, come PK, come PK, come PK, come PK!

Vivian laughed until she was out of breath.

The parade was very slow, and Vivian absentmindedly worked on her test, occasionally glancing at the game. Suddenly, she saw a conversation on the 'World' channel.

'World' [Snowflake]: I saw Smiling Naihe and Little Rain Fairy together before.

'World' [Disaster123]: I saw them too, they were fighting monsters together, it wasn't long ago, maybe last week.

'World' [alexz]: So, does that mean Reed Vivian was abandoned by Jason Purewater, and Smiling Naihe was abandoned by Little Rain Fairy, and then they, as heartbroken people, formed a new family?

'World' [Valet]: Then isn't Smiling Naihe and Reed Vivian a union of the resentful man and woman?

Naihe and Little Rain Fairy know each other? And they fought monsters together?

Vivian unconsciously bit her pen.

Although it was just a marriage for PK purposes, if both her former and current "husbands" had connections with the same woman, it would be quite complicated. Vivian never liked keeping things bottled up, so she directly asked Naihe: "Do you know Little Rain Fairy?"

Naihe replied: "No."

Vivian hesitated for a moment and sent: "Someone said they saw you fighting monsters together."

Naihe: "Does that count as knowing? George Yu added her to the team once, but her skills were too poor, so I kicked her out."

Vivian: "..."

Although she shouldn't... Vivian felt a sense of satisfaction = =

The bridal sedan paraded for over ten minutes, and then it was time for the wedding banquet. Thinking about the banquet made Vivian's heart ache. Two days ago, when they went to the restaurant to book the banquet, Naihe took her along, and she watched as he booked the highest-grade banquet—the kind that increases the guests' blood limit by 20% for a day...

Why let so many people eat and drink for free? Vivian felt like she was losing her mind, especially since she had never gotten to eat and drink for free at anyone else's wedding before...

It was truly a bit frustrating~~~

The entire wedding banquet was just a cycle of people eating and leaving, then another group eating and leaving, and then another group eating and leaving... The banquet finally ended around nine o'clock, and with a group of friends seeing them off, Vivian and Naihe entered the bridal chamber.

When Vivian married Jason Purewater, "Dreaming of Jianghu" didn't have the bridal chamber candlelight segment. This was something added in a recent system update.

Player couples need to stay in the groom's room for fifteen minutes to complete the bridal chamber, which grants them N points of intimacy. After that, player couples can share a room once a day for ten minutes each time, which also increases intimacy, but not as much as the bridal chamber candlelight. During the anniversary (in the game, this means a month), sharing a room grants more intimacy.

The bridal chamber candlelight in "Dreaming of Jianghu" is quite peculiar. Players can't leave the room, nor can they meditate to cultivate internal skills or make potions, etc. Basically, they can only do two things—

1. Stand and chat.

2. Sit and chat.

So the bridal chamber candlelight is jokingly referred to as "pure chatting without blankets" - -

As for Vivian's bridal chamber candlelight night, even chatting was skipped because as soon as they entered the bridal chamber, Smiling Naihe said: "Hold on, I need to take a call."

So Vivian wandered around Naihe's house alone.

It was Vivian's first time at Naihe's house, and unsurprisingly, his house was also top-notch, with several rooms and a garden. Compared to his, Vivian's house was like a shack.

Out of boredom, Vivian focused on her level six test again...

After finishing the last reading question, Vivian looked up at the computer, and Naihe had returned. The white-clad musician was on horseback, looking even more heroic and elegant than usual.

"Get on the horse."

Vivian joined Naihe's team, and the two rode together to the Tianshan Snow Pool, the bottom of West Lake, the Snow Sea Icefield, and the Penglai Fairy Island... Vivian increasingly felt something was off. At first, she thought Naihe had some task to do together, but...

Vivian couldn't help but ask: "What are we doing?"

Naihe: "Sightseeing."

"..."

No wonder they were visiting all the scenic spots. Vivian sweated for a while, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Could it be... a honeymoon?"

She felt embarrassed after saying it, but Naihe didn't deny it. The scene changed, and Naihe took her to the top of the Cloud Mist Mountain. Looking at the ethereal mist, like a fairyland, Vivian held back for a long time and said: "... God, you're really dedicated."
