Mei's lips trembled withstanding the cries, her mommy words as if hitting her hard. All this time he just wallowed with his past, his regrets. He didn't think he had himself and his family to think about.
"Sorry hiks.. Sorry hiks hiks.."
Mei hugged Mommy Zein tightly. Waves of emotions instantly enveloped her, the cries she held immediately broke when she found out what her Mommy meant. He had suffered at the hands of Yixing Claudrius for centuries and all he had in mind was himself. While he was wallowing with his past, until he was unaware if it had hurt himself and the people around him. He should think of his happiness and not blame himself constantly. He should be happy because he has been given a second chance to atone for his sins.
Suddenly all of them who were there immediately panicked when they saw Mei who was crying instead.
"Darling to cry." Said Mommy Angela, approaching Mei and hugging her.
"I.. Sorry for being selfish. I promise I will think of myself and the people who love me. I'll be happy.." May said on the sidelines of her crying.
They all immediately breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Mei's words.
"It's been.. Do not cry continuously, soon want to get married even cry anyway. Ish.. If this crybaby, maybe mommy's granddaughter is also whiny later." Mommy Alice said, teasing Mei that Mei was cheerful again.
"Mom.." Mei screeched, her face flushed red upon hearing what Mommy Alice had said.
"Little sister, because you want to get married and have children. So you're no longer calling little sister anymore, big brother will call you little mommy huh." Said Sean who also teased his sister.
Mei looked at her brother with her cold and flat gaze. "Sister, the older brother is indeed less creative and tends to lack insight. So yeah.. Whatever.." Say May flat.
Sean could only be astonished when he heard the implied but squeaky words of his sister.
"That's a damn thing you deck. You said brother was stupid.." Sean Protest.
"You said it like that yourself." May Say.
"Already have.. You guys are fighting like kids." Lerai Daddy Julius's.
"Darling, if you get married. What kind of concept do you want?" Ask Mommy Zein.
Mei looked at Mommy Gentle Zein. "Mom, I'm getting married in Shangri La. No creature can enter and enter Shangri La easily. So, later we just go in for the old-fashioned wedding ritual mom.."
"The ancient wedding ritual." Scream them all.
"Yes, we're both going to do an old-fashioned wedding ritual." May said firmly.
"Are you serious, if you want to perform an ancient wedding ritual. You must be able to suppress your natural passions as supernatural beings." Elder Vincent said seriously.
"If you're not able to do that, one of you will die out of energy." Elder Damian's voice chimed in on the words of Elder Vincent.
For centuries, after the war against Yixing Claudrius. Many generations are now unable to carry out the ancient ritual, because in the ritual they have to exchange energy for each other. Couples who are unable to suppress their natural lust will greedily drink their partner's energy until their partner dies from running out of energy. While those who witness the procession have been made sure will not be able to help married couples because the bride and groom will be blocked in a special rune to tie the rope of their destiny.
Xing and Mei glanced at each other and smiled faintly.
"Chairman, we're both soul mates. Without this particular ritual, we also exchange energy for each other. Our souls will both be connected and take care of each other if something bad happens to both of us. After all we both lived in the past long before modern civilization, so we both know exactly what and how we should do. This ritual is only the last reinforcement of our already strong bond. We're not gonna do anything." Xing said with confidence.
"Xing is right elder, we are both soul mates. The thing is lumprah if we do ancient wedding rituals. Our instincts have been guarding each other ever since our soulmate marks appeared, our energy will both be spinning back and forth between me and Xing without being taken care of at all. So make sure we're both gonna be okay." Mei said no less sure.
All of them who heard the explanation from Mei and Xing were silent for a moment to digest and think through their words carefully.
"It seems you've thought about this very carefully. You also understand each other.There is nothing else we can worry about. Do your best for each of you." Said Elder Vincent wisely.
After hearing the words of Elder Vincent, their hearts immediately felt relieved. They knew that in the end the one who understood the most about the two of them was the two of them.
"Because Elder Vincent has given his blessing and thought. We all respect it, the best. Xing, you take care of the entire wedding procession. Let Saya and Alastor take care of the security when we're all going to Shangri La." Julius said calmly.
"No need dad, for better security. We'll all teleport directly to Shangri La." Said Xing Firmly.
"Don't, it'll be very dangerous for you. You have to perform an ancient wedding ritual, it would be very dangerous if your energy is not full as a result of teleportation." Said Alastor who immediately rejected the wishes of his son.
He could not let Xing do such a thing, as teleportation would require a lot of energy.
"Alastor is right Xing. You don't do that, you just entrust all security to Julius and Alastor. They will definitely know what is best, all you think about is permission to enter Shangri La as well as energy recovery. It's not an easy thing to be able to enter Shangri La, you'll need a lot of energy." Said Elder Damian.
Xing closed his eyes for a moment, then he opened his eyes and looked at his entire family.
"Alright, I'll take care of the entire wedding preparations. Daddy Julius and Daddy Alastor are taking care of the guard on the way to Shangri La." Xing Yelled.
She was forced to accept their decision for the sake of the continuity of her marriage. Although there was a bit of worry, but he knew that it would be very bad if he forced himself. He could only hope that everything would go well.
'I won't forgive you, Livia. Just look if you dare to mess it up, I'll finish you off. Not everything will end up forgiving you, the past is past. Atonement has been done, there is no reason to feel guilty and give another chance.' Inner Xing.
Mei looked at Xing with her gentle gaze.
"All will be well." Whisper Mei.
Xing instantly felt a little calm and relieved after hearing Mei's whisper.
