Chapter 223: The Ceremony

After Monice joined, the speed of the ceremony preparations increased significantly.

Luo Shuangyue even test-fired her great firework several times in the depths of the starry sky to ensure that her arrangements were perfect.

As every aspect was finally completed, the ceremony she had been longing for was finally ready to begin.

This was likely the largest wedding in the history of magical girls.

Whether it was the venue or the number of participants, it was on an entirely different level compared to any previous wedding.

Full Bloom-Class Magical Girls, who were usually rarely seen, nearly all appeared here.

They chatted among themselves while waiting for the ceremony to officially start.

Several newborn magical girls, brought along by their mentors, were curiously observing their surroundings.

After learning that everything in the sky was a creation of magic, their young minds suffered a massive shock.

‘Can magic really do something this incredible?’

The protagonist of this ceremony was a legend.

They had heard that she was the mentor who saved their world and completely eliminated the Magical Beast Disaster!

Time passed second by second. As the guests arrived one after another, the ceremony destined to be recorded in history finally began.

Purple petals made of Magic Power fell from the sky.

Amidst the raining flowers, a magical girl dressed in purple appeared at the top of the high tower.

She tilted her head back to gaze at the sky, looking like a princess waiting for her destined one.

“So beautiful… and it feels like these petals can increase our power…”

The magical girls reached out to catch the falling purple petals. Their expressions turned to surprise as they watched the petals shatter into spots of purple light in their palms and merge into their bodies.

They had not expected such benefits just from attending the ceremony!

The rain of purple petals gradually ceased, replaced by pale purple butterflies. They flew through the sky in all directions, slowly drawing closer to the high tower.

At that moment, a layer of prismatic radiance shot out from the tower, blocking the butterflies’ path.

A monster with the head of a human and the body of a serpent bared her fangs, threatening the butterflies loudly, “Leave this place! Do not approach my Master!”

The butterflies converged in the air to form a silver-haired girl with butterfly wings. Facing the monster’s threat, she answered loudly, “No! I love her! No matter the obstacle, nothing can separate us!”

“Are you willing to give everything for her?”

“Yes!”

“Even your life?”

“I am willing to live and die with her!”

“Even as time flies and beauty fades, your feelings for her will never change?”

“Exactly so!”

During this back-and-forth exchange, no one noticed that the smile on the princess’s face was starting to crumble.

Xia Mo turned her head to look at White Night, who was standing invisibly beside her. This cringeworthy little drama was White Night’s suggestion, and the script had been prepared by her as well.

As for the actors, Xia Mo’s Spirit Weapon naturally took on the role.

‘I feel like those two are getting a bit too into the roles…’

“Haha, you might not believe it, but Little Yue is actually quite the dreamer. Having the chance to fulfill her childhood wishes in front of so many people, of course she’s going to be invested,” White Night replied cheerfully.

“Besides, since Little Yue wanted to hold an unprecedented wedding, the process couldn’t be too ordinary, could it? This is the perfect place for the vows.”

While the two were talking, the exchange between Luo Shuangyue and Ye Lin came to an end.

However, the power of words alone was not enough to make the serpent monster back down.

She told Luo Shuangyue that she could only marry her Master if she defeated her.

Luo Shuangyue did not hold back either.

She summoned her own Spirit Weapon, letting Phantom Scythe and Ye Lin engage in a hearty duel.

Luo Shuangyue had previously turned Ye Lin into a small lifeform capable of existing independently. However, the little one did not like that feeling.

After Luo Shuangyue returned, she had badgered her until she was allowed to slip back into Luo Shuangyue’s body.

Now, she had completely grown into a cute little girl.

Holding a scythe that looked more adorable than terrifying, she began to clash with Ye Lin in the sky with a series of clangs and clatters.

The moment Phantom Scythe appeared in her little black dress, the eyes of the many magical girls below lit up.

They all wanted such a cute Spirit Weapon of their own.

Ye Lin was equally cool once she entered her combat stance.

Her mechanical serpent body made the strength-oriented magical girls shout that they wanted a partner like that too.

This was no longer just a stage play; it was also a promotion for the Spirit Weapons that the Magic Department had recently been researching.

The battle finally ended with Phantom Scythe’s victory.

The little girl cheered and flew back into Luo Shuangyue’s arms, turning into a cloud of black mist that merged into her body.

Finally, the prelude was over. The true wedding began at this moment.

Beams of brilliant white-gold radiance descended from the sky.

A magical girl with white hair and golden eyes emerged from the dazzling light. She stood in the heavens like a deity.

No, she was a deity. In the hearts of all magical girls, she was a god-like existence.

White Night took Luo Shuangyue’s hand and led her daughter to the top of the tower, standing across from Xia Mo.

This time, she was the parent of the bride. She had to hand her daughter’s hand to the person her daughter was marrying.

Originally, Luo Shuangyue did not really want to be the “bride” in this dynamic, but considering Xia Mo’s family history, she could only endure the slight compromise.

“You are both children I watched grow up. It makes me very happy to see the two of you come together,” White Night said, placing Luo Shuangyue’s hand into Xia Mo’s palm.

She smiled at Xia Mo and added, “If she ever bullies you in the future, just tell me. I will definitely see justice done for you.”

“Mom, how can you say that? How would I ever dare to bully Xia Mo…?”

“Don’t worry, Mentor, I will definitely love Shuangyue for the rest of my life!” Xia Mo ignored Luo Shuangyue’s quiet grumbling and gripped her hand tightly.

Today, the hand in her palm was very warm—warmer than it had ever been before.

“Are you still calling me Mentor?” White Night asked with a slight pout.

Xia Mo’s face turned slightly red. She lowered her head shyly and whispered, “Then… Mother?”

The mentor she admired had become her mother.

It was a wonderful feeling.

But compared to that wonderful feeling, Xia Mo felt even more happiness and joy.

Looking at her lover who was currently making eye contact with her, she could not help but lean her head in.

This time, Luo Shuangyue was no longer shy and actively responded to Xia Mo’s invitation.

At a time like this, a kiss carried far more weight than a thousand words, didn’t it?

The fireworks in the sky bloomed one by one. In the Starry Sky Garden, which was as gorgeous as a dream, the two maidens embraced.

Their future together had only just begun.
