Facing an Ancient God for a Year

Chapter 2727: Chapter 2722: I Am Not Don Juan

If this signature is put down, it might really be a big deal.

As the saying goes, lofty thoughts cannot escape the sudden fall because reality’s gravity is too heavy.

Fu Qian observed that Brother "Don Juan’s" actions seemed to embody such a development.

From earlier to now, the pressure from the father, the wife’s expectations, even as an observer you can see its great power, how can one force such a tender young man in this situation?

Although he took the pen easily, it seems like he could already sense the weight of life...

So, when the pen tip hovered above the marriage document without dropping, none of the spectators showed impatience.

"It’s okay even if you write it wrong."

Even Mr. Jose.

So considerate it was excessive, facing a son afraid of marriage, he indicated that a shaky hand wouldn’t matter, as if there were many backups.

Unfortunately, the control desire reflected behind this strong mentality, upon careful consideration, seems even less friendly.

"Then I’m relieved, as I feel I would definitely write it wrong."

Luckily, Don Juan seemed no deeper in thought, as he nodded slightly in satisfaction at Jose’s comfort.

... So confident, huh?

Speaking of writing the wrong name, it’s somewhat too justified.

Even using this to express dissatisfaction seems a bit childish.

For the term "groom," the spectators were visibly puzzled.

Human sorrows are indeed not alike; some frowned because of this, while others had eyes shining with what appeared to be renewed hope.

"Why? Are you preparing to write my name on it as you said before?"

Undoubtedly noticing the agitation among the ladies, Jose’s tone was somewhat amused, even casually revealing one of the few rebellion tactics.

"Whether it’s yours is hard to say, but I’m quite sure it’s not mine."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ji Sr. continued to nod, his tone very serious.

"Because I’m not Don Juan."

And before Jose could ask again, he gave an even more explosive reason.

...

This is what they call words that shake people.

The issue of self-exposure was discussed earlier, and the warehouse veteran used perfect acting to exemplify mastery and repeatedly dared the verge.

And just as he was hitting his stride, he boldly revealed a major truth without even a blink, how carefree is that?

"So your meaning is, even if the name ’Don Juan’ is written above, it doesn’t represent yourself?"

At that moment, not only could a pin drop in the sanctuary, but even the bride showed a change in expression for the first time.

Though she may not believe Mr. Ji Sr.’s words entirely, she still seemed thoughtful and attempted to confirm the meaning.

"Yes, and no need to assume, I actually plan to write that name."

Mr. Ji Sr. truly continued to admit and candidly express disdain for word games.

"After all, to me it doesn’t matter, the Don Juan who should have held the ceremony here has already turned into a wooden figure."

... The old man is still revealing?

After admitting he’s not the protagonist, he even candidly disclosed the real protagonist’s whereabouts.

Sometimes truth appears false, making it harder for people to believe.

Admiring the elder’s method, as a skilled user of similar maneuvers, Fu Qian felt both amazement and understanding of its finesse.

"Impossible, I’m very certain he will be here today... will stand with me on this stage."

Take the bride, for example, who first sets an example.

She was serious in listening to Mr. Ji Sr., but next she shook her head, her tone absolutely certain.

"You might think this is my wishful thinking, a woman’s naive fantasy, but the only thing I can tell you is that the Divine Beings told me it was true."

And the pure and confident smile on her face seemed to imbue the words, commonly appearing on the altar, with their original meaning.

...

So it’s not actually that sinister, those two candles serve this purpose?

As one who captures more of the scene, Fu Qian of course wouldn’t simply admire the bride’s bravery and loyalty like others.

The mention of the "Divine Beings" naturally brought to mind the quirkiest image so far, those two opposite candles in the underground chamber.

So it may not be some cult ritual, but merely carrying the anxiousness of a future couple about their shared world?

And the unwaveringly burning two candles offered her the firmest confidence?

Considering the likely contamination by the Seed of Ecstasy, the process may not be as pure as said, but the essence indeed can’t be ruled out.

But if true, this almost surely afflicted bride seemed to be performing the only genuinely unsettling role in the entire bloody wedding?

She’s really here for marriage, solemnly pledging a lifetime with her beloved...

Though she may not know the origin of this affection.

And once factoring this in, some extreme emotions during punishment seem explainable.

While there’s another point; earlier mentioned as an infected person by Seed of Ecstasy, she must be extraordinary, thus chosen and standing here.

So this extreme craving for love, pure intention even without impurities, could also be a form of ecstasy’s representation?

Like Brother Ben, she is equally marked by impressive Talent among the infected, surpassing mere carnal joy, only desiring infinitely heightened emotional demands?

Indeed, "fantasizing about love is a mental disorder," its weight seems to be rising.

Thus far, the Princess Xing’s Eyes storyline essentially resolved almost entirely, leading Fu Qian to feel a spectator’s satisfaction.

Heh...

Sadly not everyone thinks this way; for instance, within view, some spectators already showed a gentle and genuine smile.

If unaware of the details, the speeches from the two new figures on stage could indeed be understood from a simple perspective—

On the sanctuary, the groom’s apprehension, the bride’s courage...

One retreats step by step, one remains steadfast...

Who says the Royal Family finds real love difficult?

Isn’t this the expected scene at the altar, instead of those monotonous notes that can’t be misread?

Years later, facing that happy family, this scene seems could be brought up in jest.

"Many things can’t be solved just by abandoning a name."

But there’s always a party crasher; regarding "the real Don Juan has turned into wood," Mr. Jose seems unconvinced.

Yet staring at the groom with unprecedented gaze, he doesn’t seem to appreciate the cuteness of the communication, and earnestly reminds him not to forget the responsibility on his shoulders.
