The fated ones

Chapter 33

"donghua, wait."

Feng jiu said as she pressed on his shoulder to get his attention. When he turned towards her, she spoke in his mind, "I know you are about to offer bihai cangling, don't do that."

Confused, donghua asked, "why not, xaio bai?"

"donghua, bihai cangling is not just your home but the source and concentration of your powers. It has accumulated too much energy and cultivation of itself over the millennias. The power is too raw and too divine. It might not hurt the guests but it will definitely hurt your spirit. If such a large number of people come to bihai cangling, it will pollute the very base of your powers and contaminate your spirit, my love. I can't let you do that. I understand that holding the reception is important for you but we can find other ways to do it that doesn't end up wounding you, my love."

"then, what do you suggest, we do xaio bai?"

"I asked you before, give me a chance to handle your commitments for you, while you attend to your duties. Trust me, donghua."

"Are you sure, xaio bai?"

"yes, my love. Just give me a chance."

"Okay, my little fox, whatever you want. I trust you."

Nodding her head at his acceptance, feng jiu turned to address her confused family members, "please excuse us for the silence, we needed to have a conversation before we proceeded. Now as to what dijun was saying since tai chen palace will not be able to hold the vast turnout we are expecting, I have an alternate to that. When I came back with the innate powers of my primordial spirit, a portion of my powers condensed themselves into a land similar to bihai cangling."

"this floating piece of land is an extension of my powers and is entirely mine. Since it just came into being, it does not possess any substantial powers or energy at the moment. With time, it will but for now, it is simply a huge floating island that can cater to the needs of every guest without any cost to my spirit or cultivation. I have not yet had a chance to visit it in person, but I can see it in my mind and feel its presence. The island already has a huge castle on it, that can probably house all the people of qingqui, not just the eastern lands. I will visit and inform you about the name and make of the island later."

Feng jiu faced donghua and with a raised eyebrow, asked, "satisfied?" He placed a kiss on the back of the hand, he was holding and said, "extremely."

Turning his attention back towards her family, he continued, "you are all aware that I have no family that can manage and arrange the wedding details. So, in the place of that, I offer the assistance of Zhong lin. He is my loyal and trusted steward and as close as a little brother to me. He knows all about my tastes and preferences, so, he'll be able to help you with anything and everything that you require from my side. From your side, I hope, xaio bai's mother would manage the wedding. She's familiar with the xaio bai's tastes and choices. I say this because I plan on taking xaio bai to bihai cangling for rest and recuperation. After the recent turn of events, her body is still adjusting to the extent of her powers and thus, she needs to practice her magic without threatening the existence of the realms. Also, bihai cangling is made of pure energy that will allow her to recuperate any damage to her body and spirit that may have been caused. Any opinions?"

It was bai zhi that asked, "what about the date of the wedding?"

"I believe that privilege should go to zhe yan."Donghua turned towards him, zhe yan was a master in the arts of divination and from what donghua thought, zhe yan must have already divinated a date for the wedding. So, facing zhe yan he raised an eyebrow, to urge him to speak.

Zhe yan complied, "I appreciate the honour. I have divinated a date already but I don't know if it'll be preferable to you. This is the best possible date for a wedding, the most auspicious time that has arrived after almost seventy to eighty thousand years. The date is after twenty days from today." Zhe yan said almost guiltily.
