Inside the bedchamber, a sea of vibrant red.
The lively and festive atmosphere outside seed completely isolated from the bedchamber, as if they were two separate worlds.
The interior of the bedchamber was decorated with a distinct Water Mansion style, noticeably different from a mundane wedding room.
It wasn't just a single shade of red; rather, gold was the dominant color!
Pairs of Harmonization Shells were sent over as decorations, hung on the walls, while Luminous Pearls replaced the mundane wedding room's colorful dragon and phoenix red candles.
The only thing in common might be the Mandarin Duck Dragon and Phoenix Quilt and the bride's bright red Phoenix Crown and wedding dress.
Bai Liying sat upright at the bedside, gazing at the Dragon and Phoenix Colored Lantern Pillars on the table. Her clear eyes were sowhat misty, and after a mont, they transford into a faint smile.
At this mont, a commotion arose outside, with soone shouting.
"The Prince Consort has returned to the room!"
Bai Liying suddenly seed startled awake, then heard the door of the bedchamber being opened. A wave of alcohol sll hit her face, and a figure slowly approached her.
As if rembering sothing, that figure enveloped himself in waves of magical power, washing away the alcohol sll completely after a mont.
At this ti, Bai Liying felt a gentle gaze fall upon her, accompanied by a soft laugh.
"Princess, no need to be so restrained!"
Saying this, he lifted her veil.
"Zhang Lang!"
Seeing Zhang Jian, Bai Liying blinked, her cheeks slightly blushing.
Zhang Jian casually sat at the bedside, looking at the incredibly beautiful Dragon Maiden before him, and said with a smile.
"Princess, you know, you are more beautiful today than ever!"
The Dragon Maiden softly said, "Young Master, you overpraise . Li Ying is but a delicate willow, being able to serve you is my fortune!"
Noticing that the Dragon Maiden was still a bit tense and unable to relax, Zhang Jian decided not to hesitate.
He casually picked up a cup from the table, smiling as he said,
"Princess, let us drink the nuptial wine!"
The Dragon Maiden's eyes sparkled with autumn waves, and upon hearing this, she also picked up another cup of plain wine from the Golden Disc, and they drank each other's cup.
Having completed this final ritual, the two exchanged a glance, and everything else naturally followed.
In the bedchamber, only the sound of red waves lapping and music of harmony could be heard!
...
In the ti that followed, Zhang Jian mostly stayed in the Bai Shui Dragon Palace accompanying the Dragon Maiden, while also beginning to use the Artifact Refining Secret Technique to refine his Lifebound Dharma Artifact!
With the support of the Dragon Palace's resources in attempting to refine the Lifebound Dharma Artifact, he progressed very smoothly.
A month later, deep within the Dragon Palace, beside the Earth Fire Spring!
At this mont, Zhang Jian released waves of magical power into the Alchemy Tripod, which caused layers of crimson clouds to erge from within, where a small red-gold tripod was rapidly taking shape.
With the scorching from the earth fire, the tripod walls began to outline the shapes of mountains and rivers.
It took form on its own, and suddenly an intangible flow of energy from the void infused into the tripod, making the mountains and rivers on the tripod walls rapidly take substance.
"The terrain of Fengyang County?"
Watching the map, Bai Liying's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.
She confird she wasn't mistaken, as the thin line representing a river in the center of the map was clearly the Bai Shui within Fengyang County.
Beside her, the Bai Shui Dragon Monarch's expression was solemn, his dragon gaze emitting a strong brilliance, seeing more than others, and he felt it was awe-inspiring.
"To use a small tripod to covertly take a county's Destiny, this tripod is indeed extraordinary. For the Tongshan Dao Lineage to create such a Dharma Artifact is truly fearso!!"
Bai Liying had already heard about the miraculous nature of this tripod from Zhang Jian, and said, "Father, won't there be backlash from stealing a county's Destiny?"
There was a hint of worry in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, the Bai Shui Dragon Monarch shook his head and said.
"Naturally, there would be!"
"If that's the case, won't Zhang Lang be in danger?"
Bai Nu smiled and said, "Ah Yu has always been calm!"
"Since Ah Yu has decided to refine this Lifebound Dharma Artifact, he should be well-prepared, otherwise he wouldn't act lightly. We should just watch calmly!"
At this mont, Zhang Jian indeed felt a layer of pressure from the ether.
That intangible pressure aid to crush his soul, but fortunately, two special Life Plates shielded him from the grandiose backlash.
Seeing the changes in his eyes, there was a slight fluctuation.
He felt a sense of relief in his heart.
He had always known that refining the Qianyuan Golden Tripod, such a miraculous Dharma Artifact for stealing Destiny, would naturally invite backlash from the State County's Destiny.
But he had long considered it; refining this special tripod as his Lifebound Dharma Artifact held a chance of success.
Firstly, he had repeatedly rescued innurable common people in and around Fengyang County—first by resolving the drought, then the Phoenix catastrophe, redeeming countless lives, thus receiving a blessing of a portion of Fengyang County's Power of Destiny.
Secondly, the Zhang Family had grown to beco a County-Honored Clan, with influence spread throughout Fengyang County, invisibly mitigating so of his backlash.
Lastly, there was currently no Governor in place over Fengyang County, akin to being in an unguarded state. Thus, by using the Qianyuan Golden Tripod to steal the county's Destiny and convert it to his own foundation, he could minimize the backlash.
Finally, it was the success of the two special Life Plates condensing deep in his Life Palace.
Particularly, the Red Virtue True King Fate, which, with opportunity, could even transform directly into the Hidden Dragon Position.
This Position had an extrely strong capacity for bearing and suppressing backlash.
As he expected, the intangible black energy from the ether seed to be completely absorbed and blocked by the two Life Plates.
