Chapter 1712 Wedding

Author: Night Eleven
Aria reached out and held the medium's hand. "Is this a part of the traditional costume experience?"

The medium, an elderly woman, remained silent. That was when Aria realized she might not be fluent in Farshyan—the woman had been chanting in Hornwells.

She looked gloomy and withdrawn, clearly someone who had lived in the village for a long time. Her confusion when Aria spoke another language made more sense now.

Lost in her solemn task, the woman didn't acknowledge Aria, her focus solely on the ritual of pouring candle wax into the water and onto the coffin.

As an expert in the Decatorian way, Aria immediately recognized the ritual. It was for a spirit marriage.

Sensing that Aria might grow suspicious or uneasy, Borin stepped in with a smile. "Miss, this is part of our local culture. We decorate items and use memorial candles to bless the coming year."

Aria chuckled. "I didn't know that. I've never seen anything like this before."

Borin explained, "This ritual is unique to our

    Aria remained unresponsive to the world around her, still drifting in the depths of her subconscious. The hem of her wedding dress trailed behind her as Landon carried her, brushing against the stone floor and leaving faint ripples in its wake. Above them, the sky had deepened into a velvety black, studded with stars. Nearby, a stream released gentle mists into the cool air. Wildflowers and soft grass framed the natural hot spring like a hidden garden from a celestial realm.The spring, born of clear mountain waters, gave off a calming warmth. Nearby, the faint scent of orchid incense wafted through the air, soothing the mind. The crow had prepared everything—the setting, the ceremony, even the wedding chamber—with care, though it remained wary of Landon's decision.After all, Landon had once taken a bride before, and the outcome had been catastrophic. Many cultivators had perished in the aftermath, not by his hand directly, but by the tides of fate that followed his choice.Lan

    The moon hung low in the sky. A slender figure blended into the darkness, moving soundlessly beneath the silver light. The majestic lizard was stunned for a moment before snapping back to his senses. "How dare a foolish human trespass on my land? You must be seeking death."With that, the lizard strode forward, ready to strike. But as the figure came closer, the moonlight revealed a handsome face.The majestic lizard froze. Before it could react, the head of a black snake rose from a nearby cage. "How dare you speak to him like that?" it hissed. "Looks like you're the one begging for death."The lizard hesitated, glancing back at the man in the moonlight. A chill ran down the lizard's spine as the figure's face came fully into view. It instantly reverted to its original form and stammered, "S-Sir? Why are you here? They said you were already…"Landon was forbidden from ever returning to Earth. The most powerful Arcane High Priest had sealed him away for challenging the heavenly l

    Aria nodded. "Madam, I doubt the River God would welcome an outsider like me. Besides, why were you crying just now? It seems like something's weighing on your mind."Linnea wiped her tears. "The River God is invincible. I used to have a daughter, and I planned to sell her a few years ago. But somehow, the River God must've heard about it. "The ritual was suddenly moved up, and the village chief came and took my daughter to the riverbank. She never came back."The chief told us the River God had taken a liking to her and wanted her to stay by his side to serve him. My husband believed him, but I've always felt something wasn't right. Still, I had no way to prove otherwise."Aria thought momentarily before replying, "Ma'am, you've suffered a lot over the years. If the River God truly likes me, I'll go with him and see for myself whether your daughter is still there. I'll send you a photo if I find her."She had already suspected the so-called River God was no different from that f

    Linnea placed a plate of fish on the table. "Who else could it be? It must be the girl chosen this year. She probably got scared—no one wants to be the River God's bride or spend the entire night alone by the riverbank."Kaelen took a drag from his cigarette. "Stop talking and go make two more dishes. You're saying too much."Linnea sighed, took a breath, and returned to the kitchen.Sensing something was off, Aria signaled Landon to stay behind while she went to get more information. Landon understood her signal perfectly, but his method of stalling Kaelen was unusually direct.As Kaelen reached to pour him another cup of tea, Landon moved swiftly. With a single strike, Kaelen froze, his consciousness suspended in place.Landon spoke calmly, "Come on out."The black snake slithered out hesitantly. "S-Sir?"Landon's tone remained casual. "Tell me—what's going on? Why does my presence linger in this place?"The black snake answered quickly, not daring to hesitate. "Don't you r

    Aria knew she was close to uncovering more information but decided not to press further, wary of raising suspicion. Instead, she smoothly changed the topic."I saw two villas earlier—they look so extravagant from the outside. Are they even more luxurious inside? I've never been in a villa before."Kaelen beamed with pride. "Our village chief had them built. They're quite luxurious inside. The chief treats us well. We don't have to work—just follow his instructions, and we get paid."We'll be going to the villa once the ritual begins tonight. I've already been there twice, but I'll take you guys this time so you can see what real luxury looks like!"He then looked toward Landon, who was dressed sharply in a suit. "You look rich too, with that outfit and handsome face."Before Landon could respond, Aria cut in with a playful grin. "Sir, don't be fooled by appearances. He bought that whole outfit for 39 dollars—shipping included! If you want one, just ask him to get one for you."Su

    Meanwhile, the black snake sensed the presence of another of its kind nearby. However, this snake's cultivation level was significantly higher, making the black snake uneasy. Instinctively, it slithered closer to Landon for reassurance.Despite its strength, today was not that snake's lucky day. With Landon's presence completely concealed, it wouldn't even sense him until it was far too late. By then, submission would be its only option—just as it had been at the farmers' market.The four of them continued up the stone steps. Surrounded by lush trees and the sound of birdsong, the atmosphere was peaceful and idyllic.Though the mountain didn't appear tall at first glance, it still took them nearly half an hour to reach the summit.From the top, Aria observed the landscape below. The mountain seemed almost sacred, with a waterfall nestled between crevices and fed by a natural spring—an ideal site for accumulating spiritual energy.The village, hidden deep in this fortunate terrain,

    After the transaction was confirmed, the middle-aged man transformed into a completely different person, smiling as he said, "Follow me. The paths around here are complicated. You'll get lost easily."Aria and Landon nodded and followed Kaelen Stonefoot. As they approached the village entrance, they saw two guards posted at the gate.The two ignored Kaelen's friendly greeting and instead focused on Aria and Landon. "Who are they? Why did you bring outsiders in?"Kaelen kept smiling. "They're my niece and nephew. We don't see each other often, so I brought them along. It just so happens the ritual is tonight. Come on, I'll treat you to drinks on your rest day tomorrow."The guards relaxed a little at that. "Fine, go ahead. But don't let them wander around. We're not picky about food and booze. Just bring us some Billionaire Vodka. No need to go all out."Kaelen's face twitched, and he replied half-heartedly, "Sure. I'll arrange it for you tomorrow."Billionaire Vodka? he thought b

    Aria stepped forward, intending to approach the river, but Landon stopped her. "There's something else over there," he said.Something else? Aria followed his gaze. She had to give Landon credit—his eyesight was impressive. He had spotted a piece of yellow paper wedged at the bottom of a rock.She frowned. "Has someone been burning offerings here?"Burning yellow paper was typically reserved for the dead or for spiritual rituals. But who would do that here? Judging by the paper's condition and color, it didn't seem to originate from this area.Aria bent down and picked it up, then turned back to the others. "Noa, have you checked the mountain?""The mountain?" Noa shook his head. "The river doesn't seem to come from the mountains."Aria chuckled. "Maybe not now, but it probably does during heavy rainfall."She walked a short distance and stopped at a spot along the bank. "There are signs of erosion here. Check if there was any heavy rain about a month ago."The black snake, sti
