The fastest warship of the Sun Moon Federation, even running at full speed, would take two months to cross the sea from the Douluo Continent to the Eight Kings Domain.
But Xia Yi and his group, riding a yacht transformed from the red mecha, crossed the sea in just half a month.
During the journey, Leng Yulai even had the red mecha transform into a submarine and took them for a trip under the sea.
Thanks to Xia Yi's identity as an "angel," his contribution to the Tianhu Domain's victory over the Star Luo Empire, and also Leng Yaozhu's status, it's no exaggeration to say that as long as Xia Yi made a reasonable request, the Eight Kings Domain would do everything in its power to fulfill it.
When Xia Yi requested to transfer his household registration to the Tianhu Tribe, the Spirit Fox Douluo, Ling Huxin, agreed without the slightest hesitation.
As soon as Xia Yi and his party arrived in the Eight Kings Domain, she had already arranged everything and directly brought them to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
If Xia Yi hadn't insisted on registering the marriage in person, Ling Huxin could have handled the ID cards and marriage certificates for him and all the women, and mailed them straight to the Spirit Transmission Tower in Shrek City.
"All done, Master Xia Yi, respected lords. Here are your ID cards and marriage certificates," the administrative staff of the Eight Kings Domain processed everything with high efficiency and handed all the documents to Xia Yi in just a few minutes.
"Hehe, brother-in-law, give me mine!" Leng Yulai couldn't wait to snatch her marriage certificate and, looking at the photo of the two of them on it, even her usually carefree eyes turned a bit misty.
"Look at you, how unpresentable." Leng Yaozhu glanced at Leng Yulai disdainfully, then quickly grabbed her own marriage certificate and eagerly opened it.
She too felt a little dazed.
She couldn't believe she had really registered a marriage with Xia Yi — someone who, in name, was still her student.
If it had been in the past, she wouldn't have even dared to imagine such a thing.
She didn't know what had gotten into her.
Logically, the higher one's status, the more one should care about their public image.
But ever since confirming her relationship with Xia Yi, she had become as shameless as Leng Yulai.
For Xia Yi, she could truly disregard what others thought of her.
Yali and Muxi were in a similar state — both eagerly grabbed their marriage certificates and opened them.
"Tch, and you all criticized me? You're no different, pretending to be reserved. Isn't that tiring?" Leng Yulai snorted, then clung to Xia Yi's arm and exclaimed excitedly, "From today, we and brother-in-law are finally a real family!"
"Still calling me brother-in-law?" Xia Yi flicked her fair forehead in exasperation.
"I don't care what others call you — I'll call you brother-in-law. Hehe, only I can call you that," Leng Yulai said smugly.
"Alright, whatever," Xia Yi replied helplessly.
"Hehe, brother-in-law, how about you stop calling me Yulai and just call me 'little sister-in-law' from now on?" Leng Yulai giggled.
"Let's not," Xia Yi felt speechless. Just listen to that — what kind of normal person says stuff like that?
Although Xia Yi and his entire family were now officially registered in the Eight Kings Domain, the wedding would still be held on the Douluo Continent. Once they received all the documents, the group returned to Shrek City.
This time, Xia Yi didn't waste time. With Leng Yaozhu, Leng Yulai carrying Muxi, and Yali — all three being Limit Douluo-level flying soul masters — the journey back to Shrek City didn't take long at all.
After returning, the women got busy immediately. Although the exact date of the wedding hadn't been set, they had already started preparing.
"Your Majesty, why did you bring us to a bridal shop?" Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan asked curiously as they stood in front of a wedding dress boutique.
"I want to pick out a wedding dress and thought you could help me choose," Yali said with a smile.
"Ah? Your Majesty, why are you choosing a wedding dress?" Yuanen Yehui asked, even more curiously.
"What else do you wear a wedding dress for? Of course, for getting married," Yali replied with a grin.
"Married? Your Majesty, you..." Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan stood frozen, their eyes wide in disbelief like they'd just heard something unbelievable.
"What, is there a problem?" Yali giggled.
"Problem? No—yes! A big problem! Your Majesty, did we hear you right? You're getting married? To whom?" Ye Xinglan asked, still in shock.
"Xia Yi," Yali said, her beautiful eyes full of joy.
"Ah—Xia Yi?! Your Majesty, have you gone crazy from training?" Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan nearly fainted.
"I'm serious. Here, take a look," Yali knew they couldn't accept it right away, so she simply took out her marriage certificate and placed it in front of them.
"Your Majesty, you…" Looking at the certificate, Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan were even more stunned.
They never imagined that Yali and Xia Yi would have actually registered their marriage.
It took a long moment for them to recover, though they still couldn't quite believe it. Yuanen Yehui cautiously asked, "Your Majesty, you married Xia Yi… What did Heavenly Phoenix Douluo say?"
"Xia Yi didn't just marry me — he also married Yaozhu-jie," Yali replied with a soft smile, then continued, "Xia Yi's true identity is someone from the Tianhu Tribe of the Eight Kings Domain. You've lived there, so you should know that in the Eight Kings Domain, the eight royal clans allow polygamy. It's not a big deal."
"But Your Majesty… Are you really serious? With your status, how can you… lower yourself like this?" Ye Xinglan still couldn't understand it.
She didn't get why someone like Yali would do something so outrageous — degrading even.
"Lower myself? What do you mean? If it were just me, even as a Limit Douluo, I'd be dead by now," Yali muttered under her breath. She looked at Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan, understanding their difficulty in accepting it, and continued, "I know this is hard to accept right away, but this is the reality. When Yaozhu-jie first announced her relationship with Xia Yi, didn't everyone also find it shocking? Now, hasn't everyone gotten used to it? I believe, soon enough, people will also accept that I've married Xia Yi."
Yali smiled confidently. People on the Douluo Continent had already built some resistance to this kind of thing — first Xia Yi and Leng Yaozhu, then Tang Wulin and Long Yuetong.
Yali believed that once the news of her marriage to Xia Yi spread, it would definitely stir up some buzz at first, but soon, people would accept it.
Glancing at Yuanen Yehui and Ye Xinglan, Yali continued, "Status doesn't mean everything. Besides, Yaozhu-jie's status and strength are higher than mine, right? Anyway, Xia Yi and I are now legally married. Next comes the wedding ceremony. I have to book the best designer before those 'wild vixens' snatch them up and custom-make the most beautiful wedding dress — I'm going to outshine them all. You two must help me come up with ideas."
As she spoke, Yali's smile grew wider, and her eyes filled with anticipation.
At the Spirit Transmission Tower, Leng Yulai snorted, "Sister, didn't I say so? Yali is the most eager 'wild vixen' of them all. Hmph! She pretends to be reserved, but her body is so honest. These days, she climbs into brother-in-law's bed every night. If it were anyone else, he'd have been drained dry by now."
"And you have the nerve to talk about Yali," Leng Yaozhu gave her a sideways glance and shook her head. Looking at Yali now, she was reminded of herself when she first decided to be with Xia Yi.
At that time, she had been in the same state as Yali now.
Public image? She couldn't care less.
"Because we all made a tough decision, that's why we're so determined afterward," Leng Yaozhu sighed softly.
