I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1738: 23.57 Second Grey Star - Wedding [End]

After passing through the twin, An Zhe is now blocked by his elder grandson. Ye Qinjing is still alright, as the eldest isnʼt that playful. But the second grandson loves to play, as expected. A table of small fortune cookies was served in front of him. With a playful grin, Ye Jingxia welcomed the groom and his best men.

”Welcome~ to hell~. Ah~ No… Welcome to the second stage before meeting the bride. There are all the dumplings, and the clue to the brideʼs room is among them. Find the clue among these fortune cookies. Of course, you have to eat it~,” said Ye Jingxia.

Ye Qinjing said, ”Donʼt worry. There is a doctor stationed in the next room and a tank of water prepared for you. You wonʼt die, so do your best.”

The faces of the groom and his best man turned pale. They looked at the gorgeous-looking fortune cookies on the table, no different from a bomb. An Zhe didnʼt hesitate and ate one. The first bite is still okay, as what he got on his first try is not bad.

An Zhe mumbles, ”White chocolate? But itʼs empty.”

He reached out for another one to try. Seeing that it was safe, the best men followed his lead to find the clue. There are various normal flavors like dark chocolate, coffee, strawberry, etc. Of course, bad ones like wasabi, soy sauce, vinegar, chili flavors, etc. also exist. On this stage alone, more than half of his group fell at this stage, but the one who ate the chili found the clue and passed it to the groom before running to the side to drink some water.

”AʼZhe… This is the clue… Urgh! Water. Give me water, please!”

Those who were lucky enough not to eat the wild flavors were looking at their half-dead friends on the ground. The nurses came over to carry them to the rooms to rest, as the rest of them continued to follow the clues to the third floor, where they were blocked by the two wardens and the old butler on this floor.

The old butler said, ”This is the last stage. Come and defeat us to welcome the bride!”

”What should be done this time, Gramps?” asked An Zhe.

The old butler answers, ”To be a good future husband, one must know how to cook. What would you do if your wife were hungry one day? Are you just going to buy takeout or bring him to a restaurant? There will always be a day when one needs to learn cooking.”

”Even the Black King had a day when he burned down a whole kitchen while making tea. Young Master An Zhe shouldnʼt be worse than that, right?” Warden Yun Ming said.

After his master retired from figure skating, he handled the young masterʼs schedules, including the ones for the ancient god of chaos, Hunluan, and the world eater, An Shizhe. With the support of the chief warden, the two of them no longer tremble in the presence of these two big shots and had gotten used to serving them the same way they do their own masters.

The chief warden said, ”A small makeshift kitchen was prepared for this round. Please take your places. The ingredients had all been prepared.”

”Everyone, take your place. The first dish is simple: sunny-side-up eggs!” The old butler announced. ”It is very easy to cook this dish. All you need is a frying pan, a bit of oil, an egg, and a bit of salt. Everyone, get ready!”

BOOM!

The old butler had just finished talking when everyone suddenly heard something explode. They looked at the source and saw one of the grooms covered in eggs and eggshells while standing in front of a microwave. It seems the fool didnʼt know what the pan was, but knew that a microwave could be used to heat things.

The best man, who was covered in eggs, was shocked and slowly fainted while mumbling, ”What the… hell!? The egg… exploded…”

Thud!

The other best man and the groom looked at the scene of the explosion, and everyone looked shocked. Some were even terrified by the fact that an egg can explode in such a way, scaring the fools who didnʼt even know how to differentiate a pan from other kitchen utensils.

Warden Yun Ming stepped up to explain. ”Please donʼt use the microwave for cooking the egg. The pan is this kind of flat shape with small edges. Place it above a light fire and pour a bit of oil. Then, carefully crack the egg and pour what is inside into the pan. Be careful of eggshells mixing with the egg. It wonʼt be good if you serve an egg with a shell on it. Once the egg is placed over the heated pan, it will slowly solidify, and you must sprinkle a bit or a small pinch of salt all over the egg and cover the pan for a while. After a minute, remove the cover and carefully take the egg off with a flat spatula. Use a spatula to transfer the egg to the plate. Be careful not to break it. There you go. A sunny-side-up egg!”

After the egg was made by Warden Yun step by step, this plate of food was fed by him to his lover beside him. The chief warden, ignoring the eyes on him, ate the egg with relish and a smile, making the other men envious of how sticky this couple is.

”Itʼs delicious, Mingʼer,” said the chief warden.

Yun Ming said, ”How about I make you fried rice? You havenʼt eaten breakfast yet.”

”Alright,” said the chief warden.

The old butler supervises the groom and the best men as they cook the sunny-side-up eggs. They all thought it was a simple dish. Some put too much oil and too much salt. Some didnʼt handle the egg well, and eggshells were all over the place. Some, for some reason, even used wine when they didnʼt even laugh while saying that the explosion is art.

Only An Zhe followed the instructions Yun Ming had done carefully. Except for his egg being a bit burnt, his cooking was the best among all of these men in the kitchen.

Yun Ming came over and said, ”Good work, Young Master An Zhe. If you took it off the pan a bit faster, it would be perfect.”

His best man had reacted, ”Indeed, a man with a wife is different.”

”No wonder they told us to bring extra suits. So itʼs for this reason.”

The chief warden said, ”Take the cooking seriously. The one who will eat your cooking is your partner. For the groom, it is his bride. For the best men, itʼs the bridesmaid.”

”You guys donʼt want to embarrass yourselves to your partners during the wedding, do you?” said Yun Ming.

For the first time in their lives, the best men before the ceremonial wedding were pressured to learn basic cooking for their friends or future lovers. While the men are lamenting about why a husband needs to know how to cook, they notice the Black King coming over to their small kitchen.

Ye Xiaiie said, ”Butler, Iʼll borrow the kitchen for a bit.”

The groom and the best men looked at the most popular among them and saw how fluid his cooking was and how fast he made a few crepes for his wife. As for the snacks of the children, those are handled well by the two wardens. They were stunned, and they looked at him, amazed.

Ye Xiajie said, ”Learn how to cook properly. There is a saying, ʼThe fastest way to your belovedʼs heart is through his stomach.ʼ Good Luck~”

After the Black King left, those men who were left behind started to cook the egg, then before. In the end, only a few pass, and the room where the bride is waiting is finally opened. As the groom saw his future spouse waiting for him inside the room, the world eater, An Shizhe, felt a new emotion in his heart. His anticipation, yearning, and passionate love filled his heart as he looked at Hunluan, who was waiting for him to bring him to the altar and complete their vows of marriage.

Hunluan, with a smile, said, ”You are finally here, AʼZhe.”

”Yes. Iʼve come to pick you up, Luanʼer,” said An Shizhe.

With the groom successfully picking his bride, they all head to the church for the final stage of the wedding. The chosen church is one of the oldest yet most holy places in this country. The venue was arranged well, and with the groom waiting at the end of the path, Hei Anjing accompanied his dad towards the path and passed his hand to his father.

Hei Anjing said, ”Congratulations! Be happy! Just like me.”

Hunluan and An Shizhe hugged him before letting their son go back to the side of his beloved, while the two held each otherʼs hands and walked towards the altar before them, where the prince was waiting.

The priest smiled and said, ”Welcome. Please complete the vows of marriage before the heavens above.”

The first one to speak was An Shizhe: ”I, An Shizhe, take you, Hunluan, to be my wedded husband, and in doing so, I commit my life to you, encompassing all sorrows and joys, all hardship and triumphs, all the experiences of life. A promise made in love, kept in faith, lived in hope, and eternally made new and everlasting.”

”I, Hunluan, promise to love you, An Shizhe, without any reservation, honor and respect you, provide for your needs as best I can, protect you from harm, comfort you in times of distress, grow old with you in mind and spirit, always be open and honest with you, and cherish you for eternity. This I vow to all existence, to the heavens and the chaos above,” responded Hunluan.

As the vows were made, as if the heavens became the witness of their love, a light pillar sneaked into the churchʼs interior, giving a holy feeling of blessing and acceptance. This is a successful marriage accepted by the Trial of Marriage. The priest was stunned by the scene, but a voice pulled him back into reality.

{Sir Priest, proceed with the ceremony.}

The priest mistook this voice as the words of the gods and felt overwhelmed with honor, and continued the ceremony.

He said, ”An Shizhe, do you accept Hunluan as your other half, living with him, loving him for eternity, and staying by his side until all existence ceases to exist?”

”Yes, I do!” The world eater responded without hesitation.

”Hunluan, do you accept An Shizhe as your other half, living with him, loving him for eternity, and staying by his side until all existence ceases to exist?” the priest once again asked.

Hunluan answers, ”I will. Forever would.”

Chuckles~

”Alright! You may kiss your beloved bestowed by the heavens!” The priest declared, and the couple before him finally kissed.

As the ceremony was completed, the fake marriage imprint was replaced with a light yet legit insignia that the two of them shared. A flower of chaos with the shade of purple and silver, both placed above the hearts of the couple. With this proof, they had completed their first marriage contract under the Trial of Marriage.

The family stayed in this mortal world until they aged enough and died naturally. The first one to leave was, of course, Hei Anjing and Ye Xiajie. In the end, the rest of them followed, and they all completed their lives on this small world. Of course, Hunluan and An Shizhe didnʼt leave immediately. They adopted one child whom they promised to this worldʼs heavenly will to become the new beloved son and rule this world after they left.

On their deathbeds, the couple had become old and wrinkled, yet the love between them is still as strong as ever.

The World Eater, An Shizhe said, ”Luanʼer, wait for me. I will come to find you soon.”

”We can meet in two to three more worlds. Once we complete the marriage contract, I will tell you where I am. AʼZhe, be careful. Keep yourself safe. I will… be waiting.” Hunluan finally took his leave as his soul returned to Vearth, where he originally came from.

The World Eater kissed his beloved for the last time and whispered, ”Wait for me. I will be there soon.”

This time, the one that appeared before the world eater as his support system was no longer Zhi Yang, but a newly made system that Hunluan made himself. Itʼs a small silver chaos flower with the same scent as its creator.

[Master, I am a system created by Lord Hunluan to support you during the Trial of Marriage. Please give me a name.]

”You shall be called Yiluan (Wisp of Chaos). Yiluan, letʼs leave this world,” said the world eater.

[As you wish, Master. Please prepare for soul extraction and soul transfer.]

[Soul Extraction in process…]

[10%... 50%... 100%]

[Ding! Soul Extraction has been completed.]

[Please prepare for Soul Transfer.]

An Shizhe watches his soul being removed from his mortal body after lying down on the bed. A few moments later, their adopted son had come over with his wife, crying at their corpses. Once the soul transfer had been completed. He left the world and returned to his original body.

[10%... 50%... 100%]

[Ding! Soul Transfer has been completed.]

[You have left the world.]
