The whole mountain top was decorated in red lanterns and streamers. It was a day of celebration. It was the day that Ah Chun and Ning Shen would officially be married. The love the two held for each other over the course of thousands and thousands of years and even three lifetimes has finally come to a point where they can finally become husband and wife. Ah Chun has dreamt of this day for so long that her excitement couldn't be contained. "It's finally time!" Ah Chun shouted. Her voice echoing throughout the two peaks.
"Chun'er, if you shout like that you may scare him off." Misaki teased. She had already arrived and was helping Ah Chun get ready, along with Meimei, Qing'er, Yu Yan, and Zhi Ruo.
"But, you have no idea how long I have waited for this day. Shen'er has always waited for me. And now I can finally officially become his wife." Ah Chun argued. She did not care who heard her. She was just happy that it was finally time.
"Alright, I get it! Today is your day so I won't tease you anymore. But I must say you are very beautiful. This dress suits you well." Misaki commented with a smile.
"Thank you!" Ah Chun was happy. Everyone she cared about was here to celebrate the happiest day of her life.
She looked at everyone with a smile as bright as the sun. As time passed, the auspicious time had come. A knock came announcing the arrival of Ning Shen. Ah Chun's cheeks blushed as she got up. Her flowing red dress swayed and rippled as she moved. It looked as if she was floating as walked. Ah Chun exited the immortal cave to find Ning Shen standing there in red robes. He stretched out his hand and she placed her hand within his. Beside Ning Shen was a decorated sedan decorated in red silk, golden trim, and black jade.
Ning Shen helped Ah Chun on to the sedan before the wedding procession made its way down the mountain. Ah Chun sat in the sedan with her face covered by a veil. Her phoenix eyes smiling brightly. Although she and Ning Shen have already combined into one, she was still starting to get nervous. Which was normal for any girl getting married.
The sedan made its way to the foot of the mountain before crossing over to the next mountain over where the wedding was to be held. The trip was slow and bells and drums sounded as the procession made its way up the other mountain. When it finally arrived at the peak of the mountain a grand display was seen. Shimmering gold steps lead up into the sky where a small platform was located. One hundred steps in total. This was to signify their everlasting love and reliance on each other. Each step they took hand in hand would make the bond between the two grow stronger.
Ning Shen helped Ah Chun out of the sedan and led her to the first steps. He leaned over and whispered: "Careful."
Ah Chun nodded her head giving a hushed hum before interlocking her fingers with Ning Shen's. They then both took the first step onto the staircase made of spiritual qi. Everyone else was standing in the sky looking down at the couple as they took their time step by step.
"They are finally doing it." Qing'er said
"Mmm… Young Master Shen had searched high and low for her when she disappeared, never resting, and never giving up." Meimei said with a smile. She wiped a tear from her eye.
"Chunchun has always been one to go full speed ahead and always rely on herself. She has the strength and has always wished to have a grown up body. Now that she has one and is getting married, I can't help feel a slight loss. My baby sister is growing up too fast." Yu Yan gazed warmly at Ah Chun. The girl who was no more than eight years old saved her from a horrifying experience and gave her a family. She was someone very dear to her.
"Chun'er was my first friend and even saved my life, although the one who almost took it is the bastard holding her hand now as she walks up these celestial stairs, but I must say that maybe it was a good thing. The two truly love each other. I am glad she has found her life partner." Zhi Rou wiped the tears from her eyes and put a smile on her face.
"When I first met Chun'er, she was riddled with wounds, the girl had no cultivation and had fallen through a hole escaping death at the jaws of a demonic beast. Before she entered my life the only thing I cared about was cultivation and refining herbs. But as soon as this little girl came into my life and began calling me mother, I couldn't help but want to be a good mother to her. She filled a void that I did not even realize I had. As she grew up and became stronger she caused a lot of troubles but she also did a lot of good. We may not be related by blood but Chun'er will be now and forever my precious daughter just like the two of you. Now that I think about it, she also brought all of us together." Mei Liling let out a laugh. The smile and gaze she had, as she looked down at Ah Chun, was as warm as thousands of suns. She truly loved this daughter of hers.
"Once a brat, always a brat! Humph!" Kang Bai stills seemed to be holding a grudge after being ignored by Ah Chun when she arrived.
"Old man you should know as one of her masters that she does whatever she pleases." Fei Hong said as she smacked Kang Bai upside the head.
"She sure does!" Letting out a hearty laugh Lin Fen was truly proud of his little disciple.
