The Rise of Otaku

Chapter 317: Chapter 317 The Perfect Ending?

After worshiping the tablet that represented the divine tree and drinking the wine of longevity the ceremony finally was about to end. Zhou Yu couldn’t bear to look directly at Yi Hu’s sad eyes, and he also didn’t know how to rescue him. If he knew that his fiancee was so unusual, he wouldn’t have pushed him into the fire pit. Moreover, he had also tried to warn him, but he really appeared at a very bad time. If he had appeared much later, he would have gotten the notice in advance.

Looking at the expressionless girl called Fei Niao, Zhou Yu didn’t know what her opinion on this marriage was. Was she really okay marrying a man that didn’t want to marry her?

Soon, the Jianmu Fengchun ceremony came to an end.

The last section was completed by the girl alone, and she needed to walk up to a high stage and perform a solo dance on it. The stage even made creaking noise when she walked on it, it made Zhou Yu worried that once she started to dance, the whole stage might collapse.

There were many people watching this ceremony in the stadium. After all, it was very rare for Jianmu people to leave the divine tree, normally this kind of ceremony, people would only be able to see it in Jianmu. If there were really some accidents, the reputation of Luhua city might also be in danger.

Fortunately, the quality of the stage was good. Although the girl’s dance seemed to be very intense, the stage still didn’t collapse. One thing that also really surprised Zhou Yu was the girl’s movement. The way she moved made her look like she was very light.

As the intense dance continued, a strange scene started to happen on the girl’s body, her originally big body started to shrink like a deflated balloon.

And in the end, with a loud bang, she sat on the stage.

What happened?

Originally, Zhou Yu thought that the ceremony would be interrupted, but Jianmu people did not stop at all. As soon as the girl sat on the stage, two elders jumped on the stage together, each waving a tree branch on the bonfire, and singing the ancient Mantra.

As the singing progressed, the branches also caught fire, leaving only a bare rod. Suddenly, the two elders yelled, and then madly thrust the fiery branches into the belly of the girl.

What the fuck! Is it actually a dark ritual? Zhou Yu shouted without thinking, “Quick! We need to save the girl!”

Hearing the order, the king of thieves, Bubu, Jack, old drunkard, little Firefly, Lou Baobao, and other people immediately rushed up. Even Lilith was also preparing to summon the golden armor army, and ready to catch all the guys that were performing the dark ritual.

Yi Hu was also startled. Although he also came from Jianmu, he did not know much about the ceremony. After hearing that his future wife had already been decided, he ran out of Jianmu to find his true love, so he didn’t know that they would do this in the ceremony.

“Fei Niao!”

Yi Hu shouted and jumped onto the stage. After all, she was his childhood friend, how could he watch her suffer.

Just as a fight was about to break out, Fei Niao was lit up by the fiery rod and started to burn intensely. The heatwave caused by the suddenly intense burning even blew out all the people who were running toward the stage.

Strangely, the face of Fei Niao didn’t show any sign of pain. Being burned by such a fierce flame, how could there be no scream? Did she not know what pain feels like?

“Those bad people! Don’t let them run away! How dare they perform such evil magic under my nose!”

Zhou Yu was very angry. Although he didn’t know what happened exactly, no matter what kind of excuse they had, they shouldn’t burn anyone.

At this moment, the two elders got up from the ground, although their faces were covered with dirt and half of their beard were burned, their faces were still covered with smiles.

“Hahaha, Fei Niao is indeed really talented, the divine power contained in her body is incredible. After this Jianmu Fengchun ceremony, the new divine tree will definitely grow up healthily in the next thirty years.”

“Yes, yes, the ceremony is a success, and Fei Niao’s sacrifice was worth it.”

Listening to the words of the two old men, Zhou Yu was even angrier.

“What are you laughing at! Later, I will let you taste the burning fire!”

For this evil ritual, Zhou Yu was deeply disgusted. However, a strange scene appeared on the stage at this moment.

As the flame was getting smaller and smaller, a small figure slowly emerged from the flame. As Zhou Yu looked closely, it was a girl who looked as pretty as little Muli. She was wearing a light green wedding dress, and the red flame couldn’t hurt her. This was a bit like the dragon queen in the game of thrones.

“Darling Yi Hu, I can finally talk to you.”

After the girl came out, she rushed to hug Yi Hu, with tears of joy falling down from her face, but Yi Hu, who was hugged by her, asked in confusion, “Who are you?”

“Silly boy, this is Fei Niao. After she was selected to be the girl to marry you, we started to feed her the divine fruit every day. Because of a lot of divine power that was stored in her body, her body became very big. In fact, her true body had been sleeping in a huge body until this day.”

The Jianmu Fengchun Ceremony was a wedding ceremony that transferred the divine power from a bride to a divine tree, so the divine tree would have enough energy to grow healthily. They have been using this method for generations. And every time, the girl who was selected to be a bride would have a huge sacrifice.

Yi Hu was completely at a loss, and Zhou Yu was speechless.

After the ceremony ended successfully, Jianmu people left happily, leaving Yi Hu and Fei Niao in Luhua city. When the ceremony was completed, a new generation of the Divine tree Jianmu would also be born. Later on, Yi Hu and Fei Niao would become the guardians of this new divine tree Jianmu.

The king of thieves later found a seed of the Divine tree from the burnt ash and gave it to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu lowered his head and looked at it with the eyes of reality. It was actually visible in the real world, but he didn’t know what kind of tree it would look like in the real world.

Anyway, this should be considered a perfect ending, right?
