“Every four years, the tribe will gather all the eligible men and women from the tribe, along with women from neighboring tribes, for a grand bonfire feast. This feast is called the ‘Human Marriage Assembly’. During the assembly, eligible men and women are brought together, and if they find each other appealing, they are immediately married. Then they strive to have children and strengthen our Heavenly Path Tribe.”
“It’s a pity that the Chief founded the ‘Human Marriage Assembly’ but didn’t participate in it himself. The Chief has reached adulthood and it’s time for him to find a wife.”
“I know, with the Chief’s excellence, none of the women in the tribe would be worthy of him. But things are different now, with the arrival of an outstanding woman, Yunxiao.”
“With Yunxiao’s talent, beauty, and her ancestry as a descendant of the ‘Cloud Family’ ancestors, she would definitely be worthy of the Chief. So, this time, not only the Chief will participate in the ‘Human Marriage Assembly’, but Yunxiao will also be there.”
“Old Ye, you…,” Xuanxiao couldn’t help feeling embarrassed. What was this all about?
He had created the ‘Human Marriage Assembly’ hoping to imitate the pioneers who crossed over from another world, establish a human marriage system, earn human marriage merit, and thereby enhance his luck. Unfortunately, Xuanxiao’s plan failed. The ‘Human Marriage Assembly’ was held, but no merit was bestowed.
After his failure to gain human marriage merit, Xuanxiao had not paid much attention to the ‘Human Marriage Assembly’. As for finding a wife, Xuanxiao had never even thought about it.
On one hand, as Old Ye had said, the women in the tribe were not good enough. On the other, Xuanxiao was focused on cultivation and didn’t want to find a wife at the moment. Lastly, there was Xuanxiao’s self-confidence. With the Luck Bead, Xuanxiao believed he would eventually rise to prominence. Wouldn’t it be great to marry a celestial maiden then?
But who knew he would be urged to marry by Old Ye. There were marriage urges on Earth, and there were also marriage urges in the Primal Chaos.
Xuanxiao was truly speechless at this Primal Chaos version of being urged to get married.
As Xuanxiao felt speechless, Yunxiao’s beautiful eyes held a complex, shifting expression as she looked at him, instantly transforming into shyness. Eventually, a woman’s reserve caused her to lower her head: “Old Ye, what are you talking about?”
After saying that, she turned and ran away. However, she paused after a few steps, with a touch of shyness: “Old Ye, when the ‘Human Marriage Assembly’ is held, please let me know. I… I will participate!”
Alright, Yunxiao’s answer was considered a response.
Hearing this, Xuanxiao couldn’t help but smile wryly. What could he say?
Old Ye was quite excited: “Chief! Look, Miss Yunxiao has already agreed. I’ll go prepare everything needed for the ‘Human Marriage Assembly’, haha…”
It seemed as if Old Ye could see Xuanxiao and Yunxiao getting married, the shy, fleeing Yunxiao had already agreed to marry Xuanxiao. Instead, it was Xuanxiao, the core of the matter, who was feeling conflicted.
“What’s going on?!” Xuanxiao was speechless. He hadn’t agreed to anything yet, but it felt like he was about to get married.
Xuanxiao was speechless, lowering his head, filled with a mixture of emotions. His thoughts swirled, wondering whether he should just go with the flow and marry Yunxiao.
After much contemplation, Xuanxiao gazed at Yunxiao’s departing back and finally smiled: “I’m being too idealistic. With my current cultivation speed, who knows how long it will take to reach the peak. Especially in this dangerous Primal Chaos, who knows how long we can live. While we are still alive, and while things are peaceful now, I might as well just get married.”
...............
On this day, the Human Marriage Assembly was held as scheduled in the Heavenly Path Tribe.
A bonfire burned in the center of the tribe, the aromatic food, combined with the sweet spring water, filled the eligible young men and women with shyness.
Xuanxiao’s eyes were filled with a smile, as he looked at them with contentment: “My people, the Human Marriage Assembly begins now. For this day, all eligible members of the tribe are free to find the one they love. Showcase your strength and charm, and then celebrate, procreate for the next generation of our Heavenly Path Tribe.”
“Roar, roar…”
“Roar, roar…”
The tribe’s members roared in cheers, each one showcasing themselves and finding their chosen mate. The eligible young men and women also danced around the bonfire, chatting with each other and choosing their ideal partner.
Since they were all members of the same tribe, and even though there were some people from nearby tribes, their choices were made quickly. It was quite understandable, after all, the human race of the Primal Chaos wasn’t as complicated as in later generations. If they found each other appealing, that was enough.
....
After a long time, most of the eligible men and women in the tribe had made their choices.
At this moment, a pair of beautiful eyes looked towards Xuanxiao.
It was Yunxiao. She was dressed in a long silver fox fur skirt today, her beautiful face, watery gaze, filled with yearning, fell upon Xuanxiao.
Xuanxiao could naturally feel Yunxiao’s gaze, her passionate eyes, and her intense admiration.
Especially when Yunxiao, ignoring her own reserve, slowly walked towards Xuanxiao. What could Xuanxiao say?
With a carefree smile, he finally stood up and greeted Yunxiao. His strong physique, full of strength, as he embraced her: “Haha… today, at the Human Marriage Assembly, not only the eligible tribe members will get married, but this Chief will also be marrying a beauty.”
“Yunxiao, will you be my wife?”
Yunxiao blushed, but her pure gaze remained on Xuanxiao as she nodded seriously: “I, Yunxiao, am willing.”
“Haha… from this day forth, you are my wife, Xuanxiao. We will perform the human marriage rite here, becoming husband and wife.” Xuanxiao laughed, he wasn’t surprised at all by Yunxiao’s answer. Perhaps Xuanxiao wouldn’t be considered outstanding in the entire Primal Chaos, but within the Heavenly Path Tribe, he was definitely the best.
He created cultivation methods, taught the people, and developed the tribe… all of these actions made the tribe members worship him, believe in him, they considered him to be their god.
Yunxiao had only been in contact with Xuanxiao for two years, but she already felt a strong admiration and respect for him. Now, hearing what Xuanxiao said, she naturally agreed to marry him.
Xuanxiao’s laughter echoed throughout the tribe. The tribe members also cheered and roared in celebration. Their Chief was about to marry a wife.
Although Yunxiao blushed, she stood by Xuanxiao’s side, radiating confidence, accepting the blessings of the tribe members.
......
Soon, numerous food items were piled up in the center of the tribe, resembling offerings.
Xuanxiao held Yunxiao’s hand and looked up at the sky: “The Yao Clan Emperor Jun created Heavenly Marriage, while I, Xuanxiao, created Human Marriage. Although my Human Marriage is not as profound as Heavenly Marriage, as the creator, I will naturally marry using this method.”
Yunxiao nodded in response. She was curious about the Human Marriage system that Xuanxiao created, now she was about to practice it, and achieve Human Marriage with Xuanxiao.
