The grand ceremonial procession followed behind, with the suona trumpets blowing thunderously, gongs and drums resounding, and firecrackers crackling endlessly, creating a cacophony that echoed to the heavens.
Riding on the Flood Dragon Horse, Wang Xiaoqiang was in high spirits and full of self-satisfaction, truly like the saying "riding swift horses in the spring breeze with great delight."
On both sides of the street, the crowd lined up, and the citizens cupped their hands towards Wang Xiaoqiang in congratulations. Wang Xiaoqiang continually cupped his hands back to the crowd, his demeanor very kind and amiable. Approachable.
The higher one stands, the more affinity they should display, so as to demonstrate their cultivation. Although Wang Xiaoqiang was not officially the lord of one nation, he was in effect a lord, and naturally had to exhibit the demeanor of a lord.
Of course, there were also envious and jealous glances from men, as well as forlorn looks from women,
At this moment, Wang Xiaoqiang had completely become the man that men admired and women found disappointing.
But Wang Xiaoqiang didn't care about these things. Ordinary women were not worth his attention, and he had long been accustomed to men's jealousy. To not be envied is to be mediocre, and he did not want to be mediocre.
According to wedding customs, the Flood Dragon Horse pulled the Immortal Palanquin starting from Wind Cloud Manor, going to the Jin family's old home to welcome Jin Qiaoqiao, all along the way everything was in good order.
Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at the Jin family's old residence in high spirits and went directly to Jin Qiaoqiao's Fragrant Boudoir.
The Jin family was decorated with lanterns and banners, the character for happiness was plastered all over the courtyard, a scarlet carpet was laid from the back hall all the way to the main hall, and colorful paintings hung on the courtyard walls, everywhere was filled with a festive atmosphere.
In her boudoir, Jin Qiaoqiao sat in front of her dressing mirror, two maidservants busy attending to her. Jin Qiaoqiao was already dressed in a red wedding dress, her makeup exquisite, and her face blushing, at this moment, her lovely and charming face was accentuated by the red wedding dress, appearing exceptionally beautiful and unmatched.
A girl marrying off, a once-in-a-lifetime event, naturally hopes to be the most beautiful this day. She deliberately coiled an exquisite bun, her sideburns like clouds ready to cross the snow of her fragrant cheeks, red lips with dimples, smiling with coyness, an expression of happiness and celebration on her face.
The Jin family didn't have much in terms of rules, so Wang Xiaoqiang directly stepped into the boudoir, picked up Jin Qiaoqiao, and carried her onto the Immortal Palanquin.
After entering the Immortal Palanquin, Jin Qiaoqiao realized that she was not riding a simple sedan but an Immortal Palanquin and was overjoyed, knowing that only women of the imperial clan had the right to ride one, and as a commoner, she actually got to experience it.
Pulling back the curtain of the Immortal Palanquin, she saw her beloved riding a Flood Dragon Horse in front, and amidst the surprise, she felt happy, and in her happiness, there was a trace of sweetness.
...
That evening.
With the bridal chamber and candles lit, Wang Xiaoqiang and Jin Qiaoqiao removed their clothes, their bodies meeting honestly.
Just as Wang Xiaoqiang made a move to pounce, the Patterned Beast on Jin Qiaoqiao's back roared angrily. This creature had always guarded its master from being violated by men, loyal to its duties, not even allowing Wang Xiaoqiang to come close.
Jin Qiaoqiao used her willpower to restrain it.
Wang Xiaoqiang felt uncomfortable with such a creature present, so he called forth a Patterned Beast from his blood. The beast, following its master's will, flew out with a low cry, summoning the Patterned Beast on Jin Qiaoqiao's back.
The Patterned Beast on Jin Qiaoqiao's back immediately responded, jumped to the ground, the two beasts sniffed each other face-to-face, entwined their necks, and after a moment of cozy intimacy, they ran out of the room side by side.
To do things devoid of shame or decency.
"Hey? Little Qiang, they're always together. Will my Patterned Beast get pregnant?" Watching the male and female Patterned Beasts run out, Jin Qiaoqiao expressed uneasy concern.
"Darling, that's not something you should worry about. What we should be doing now is letting you conceive my child as soon as possible."
Gold is precious, but the night together is priceless!
...
Time swiftly passed, and in the blink of an eye, a year had gone by. This past year since Wang Xiaoqiang came to the Immortal Realm, it had been the most leisurely year for him. The national affairs were governed by the Lotus Princess, so he didn't have to worry. Apart from being busy making children with his women every day, he focused on cultivation, living as happily as an Immortal.
Moreover, cultivation still took the top priority, but over this past year, his Body Refining Cultivation had not made significant progress.
For thousands of years, no one in the Immortal Realm had reached the Undying Golden Body, so it gradually became a legend, known to few, and with no methods to refer to for cultivation. Wang Xiaoqiang, like crossing a river blindfolded, could only explore slowly.
Up to now, he was still stuck in the early stage of the Undying Golden Body.
Although there wasn't much progress in Body Refining Cultivation, Qi Refining Cultivation was not greatly hindered. With the completion of the Undying Golden Body, his meridians and physical body underwent substantial qualitative leaps and transformations, with his capacity for medicinal power and spiritual power reaching a considerable height, fully supporting rapid breakthrough in Qi Refining Cultivation.
Even so, in a year's time, Wang Xiaoqiang only broke through three tiers, reaching the Six Elephants of the Immortal King Realm, averaging a breakthrough every four months. Compared to the cultivation progress of the Immortal Sage Realm, it was slow, but in terms of power, it increased rapidly.
Now he possessed the strength of six Thunder Elephants. During this period, his Thunderclap Annihilation Palm and his Holy Path of Courage also made substantial progress, with his strength doubling. With his current power, he could easily contend with cultivators below the Five Dragon Realm Immortal Emperor. Even those above this realm couldn't easily crush him, because, after all, he was a Strong Physical Body Cultivator possessing the Undying Golden Body.
...
Just as Wang Xiaoqiang took command of the Yellow Dragon Empire in the second year, the Immortal Realm saw heroes rising, wars ravaging the land, starving people filled the fields, and many countries experienced rebellions.
With Wang Xiaoqiang holding the fort, the Yellow Dragon Empire had no occurrence of rebellion.
Unexpectedly, internal stability led to external chaos, and that spring, the Yue Kingdom allied with the Yan Kingdom to wage war against the Yellow Dragon Empire. Yue Kingdom was to the west of the Yellow Dragon Empire, and Yan Kingdom was to the east. These two countries colluded, launching attacks from both sides against the Yellow Dragon Empire,
With war breaking out, the people couldn't sustain themselves, and countless border citizens perished or got injured.
Constant news from the borders reported losses and the massacre of citizens, each a piece of grim news.
Reliable sources claimed that the commander of the Yue Kingdom invasion army was the traitor King of Jinling, and indeed, it was true. The King of Jinling had escaped from under Wang Xiaoqiang's command, defecting to Yue Kingdom's Luo Sang King, who saw his cultivation was not weak and decided to use him. Now, with the war commencing, it was natural to place him at the army's forefront.
The King of Jinling's treason for personal gain might be excused, but now he was aggressively targeting his own country. Wherever his army went, there was bloody winds and rain, with countless deaths and injuries, employing extremely cruel means.
In resisting foreign invaders, Wang Xiaoqiang shoulders an unshirkable duty.
Facing attacks from two countries, Wang Xiaoqiang had to release an avatar, then divide his forces into two. One, led by the avatar, went to confront the Yan Kingdom, while the other, led by his original self, went to resist the Yue Kingdom. (To be continued.
