I Got Together with the Goddess [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 27

After Jiang Yiqing and Si Xuansu received the imperial decree and returned to the General’s Mansion, they consulted with the General her father-in-law, Madam Si, and a fortune teller to select an auspicious day, preparing to hold the wedding on that date.

It was a day with cloudless skies, where purple energy rose from the east—a day portending a hundred blessings and auspiciousness.

Jiang Yiqing returned to the Jiang household the night before to reunite with her family. Her elder brother and sister-in-law were also present, and the whole family shared a reunion dinner.

The Jiang family had been preparing for their daughter’s wedding for a long time. By that day, everything had been settled. Her mother and sister-in-law urged Jiang Yiqing to rest early, as she needed to wake up early the next day to welcome the auspicious hour.

Jiang Yiqing was so excited she couldn’t sleep. She could still clearly remember the reluctant, lingering look in Si Xuansu’s eyes when they parted; she tossed and turned under her covers, giggling secretly. Originally, she had felt quite reluctant to leave as well but seeing that Si Xuansu was even more reluctant than her made her want to laugh.

Thinking about how she was getting married for the second time tomorrow, Jiang Yiqing felt incredibly happy—even though the first marriage had also been to the Goddess.

Eventually, she fell asleep with a sweet smile hanging on the corners of her mouth.

The next day, she woke up in high spirits and changed into the bridal gown that had been prepared long ago. This time, it was a woman’s wedding dress. Originally, the Emperor had intended to appoint her as an official, but upon learning of her female identity, he instead bestowed upon her the title of a First-Rank Lady of Ennoblement Gaoming Furen.

Therefore, the bridal attire she wore was the “Phoenix Crown and Emblazoned Cape” in its truest sense. The phoenix wings on the crown held nine segments consisting of eighty-one dangling pearls, looking incomparably magnificent and jewel bright. The vermilion wedding dress trailed behind her like a winding river, looking delicate, beautiful, and noble. The maidservant applied crimson color to her lips and a light touch of red to the corners of her eyes; her face looked exceptionally exquisite and seductive, appearing truly like a peerless beauty who could stir anyone’s heart.

The maidservant clutched her chest and sighed, “Miss Qing, let alone General Si, even thousands upon thousands of women would not be able to help but feel their hearts flutter upon seeing you at this moment.”

“It doesn’t matter what others think; I only wish to win the heart of one person.” After putting on the wedding dress, Jiang Yiqing became a bit more dignified, unlike her usual playful and mischievous self. At this moment, she spoke seriously to the maid.

The maid was moved in her heart, thinking that a mutual affection where two hearts were granted to each other was truly an enviable kind of love.

The maid placed the red bridal veil over Jiang Yiqing’s head and assisted her into the sedan chair. This time, it was truly a “Ten-Mile Red Dowry,” with the entire capital glowing in splendor. Many commoners walked out of their homes and onto the streets to witness this rare and grand wedding.

The household name, General Si, was getting married to the woman she loved, and everyone felt happy for the two newlyweds.

People scattered blooming flowers from the air, letting them fall onto the sedan chair where Jiang Yiqing sat. Upon noticing this, Jiang Yiqing reached out her hand to catch the flowers. Through the carved window, the silhouette of the bride could be faintly seen, drawing bursts of cheers from the onlookers.

Jiang Yiqing knew that Si Xuansu was up ahead riding the Cloud-Scale Horse, leading the bridal procession, and she felt incredibly at peace.

Thinking back to the very first time she saw her, she had watched her from behind, riding atop a tall horse.

Because she was wearing a red veil, she did not know that at this very moment, Si Xuansu turned back to look at her countless times while on horseback.

The ten-mile-long street was spread with red décor; auspicious music played elegantly, and a gentle breeze blew harmoniously.

Upon arriving at the General’s Mansion, someone helped Jiang Yiqing down. Jiang Yiqing saw the hem of a vermilion robe and knew that Si Xuansu was right by her side. Together, they walked toward the main hall.

However, after walking for a while, a wild wind suddenly whipped up, blowing everyone off balance. Fortunately, Jiang Yiqing reacted quickly; otherwise, her red veil would have been blown away.

Due to the sudden wind, the scene became somewhat chaotic for a moment. Amidst the confusion, Si Xuansu gripped Jiang Yiqing’s hand and calmly said to the servants, “Do not panic. It is merely a gust of wind. Carry on with what you should be doing.”

Her words had a miraculous effect; hearing them, everyone calmed down, though the wind remained quite strong.

Furthermore, what had originally been beautiful weather suddenly saw the sky gathering layers upon layers of dark clouds, completely blocking the sunlight. The color was like ink, appearing as if it were going to press right down onto their heads.

“This is not a good omen,” everyone thought to themselves, though no one dared to say it aloud.

“What happened?” Jiang Yiqing lowered her voice to ask Si Xuansu.

“The weather is a bit abnormal, but it’s nothing. Don’t worry,” she said, tightening her grip on Jiang’s hand.

The phrase “Don’t worry” cleared all the doubts and insecurity in Jiang Yiqing’s heart, but she still felt that this great wind had come quite eerily.

From the gust just now, she had smelled a hint of fishy stench. Logically, the capital was a place of excellent Feng Shui with the Son of Heaven presiding over it; it shouldn’t produce such an evil wind.

The System also spoke up: “This wind is very strange. It seems man-made, but it’s difficult for a human to achieve this. The opponent might know magic.”

“What kind of fellow can control weather changes like this? Besides, I don’t remember offending such a person,” Jiang Yiqing said.

“However, looking at it, the opponent also fears you both to some degree. They don’t dare show themselves to cause trouble but are merely using this to create some unpleasantness.”

The opponent wanted to obstruct her grand wedding with Si Xuansu. This was a wedding of profound significance to the two of them, how could they allow someone else to make a mess of it?

“This fellow is truly detestable. If I catch them, I absolutely won’t deal with them lightly,” Jiang Yiqing said. “But for now, it’s best to change the weather back as quickly as possible.”

While a change in weather didn’t necessarily prove anything, Jiang Yiqing simply couldn’t stand being harassed like this.

However, she didn’t currently could call for wind and rain; guiding the weather was easier said than done.

Yet, it wasn’t impossible.

This goes back to the black net Jiang Yiqing had previously collected into her space. Initially, she didn’t know what material it was made of, but later she read some books and saw that among the ancient sacred artifacts, there was one called the Netherworld Net, which was said to be able to net everything in the world.

At the time, she naturally didn’t believe that such an unremarkable-looking net could be that treasure. However, she later tried to “net” moonlight by hanging the net in the courtyard for a night. By the next morning, she indeed saw the iron net filled with clear, golden light.

However, a long time had passed since the ancient era, and the net had suffered much wear and tear; otherwise, given the quality of a sacred artifact, it wouldn’t have been easily damaged by the Candle Jade Sword. Though the Candle Jade Sword was a world-rare precious sword, a sacred artifact was, after all, a sacred artifact.

Jiang Yiqing told Si Xuansu about the origins of the Netherworld Net. Feeling that the net was large and ugly and useless to keep around, she suggested using it as a refining material for the Candle Jade Sword.

Si Xuansu was willing to let her mess around without fear of consequences, handing over her personal sword to her. Jiang Yiqing bought refining materials from the mall. Most crucially, she rented a top-grade refining furnace. This refining process essentially ruined the furnace, causing the mall a blood-loss in profit, but the Netherworld Net and the Candle Jade Sword successfully merged.

From then on, whenever the Candle Jade Sword encountered spiritual energy, unpredictable dark patterns would appear on it. It possessed a powerful force of attraction that could pull things toward it according to the master’s will.

Without needing Jiang Yiqing to say a word, Si Xuansu drew the Netherworld Candle Jade Sword and pointed it toward the vault of heaven. When the crowd saw the General suddenly draw her sword, they were slightly startled, but immediately they saw layers of deep, mysterious light swirling around the blade, looking incredibly divine.

At the same time, a bolt of white light suddenly appeared in the sky, dispersing the dark clouds.

Where the sword energy pointed, it could cleave the sky.

People who saw this rubbed their eyes, doubting their own vision.

Following that, the sword energy formed a long passage in the sky. The dark clouds were as if being sucked away, following this passage downward and then vanishing into thin air.

The dark clouds in the sky had been extremely heavy, but in less than a moment, they all disappeared completely. The sky subsequently returned to its original state.

A vast expanse of azure with a radiant sun hanging high—it was truly rare, beautiful weather.

Seeing this, everyone cheered, and the wedding proceeded in a joyful atmosphere.
