Unlike the smiling Sui Xiong, Leon was feeling extremely troubled.
It was not that he had never been attended to by waiting ladies, but rather the fact that he had never worn such a complicated outfit before.
The Eagle Kingdom and the Wu Li Kingdom were the two most majestic countries amongst the human kingdoms. When couples got married in Eagle Kingdom, they did not wear traditional robes but rather wore respectable looking clothes. Armor was not allowed, of course, as even the most fearsome knight would not wear battle clothes at his own wedding.
However, it was different in Kingdom of the Blue Moon. This capitalistic country was extremely particular about beauty and decorum. Even if it was not a large event, the citizens would dress up nicely and don complicated outfits. When it came to actual large events, they would then become extremely flamboyant. This was just like Leon now who had on four different clothes items as well as several different accessories. He felt like a storefront mannequin who had been burdened with too many unnecessary items.
Sigh… Why did I promise Kalisa that we would hold a traditional wedding…
He maintained a neutral smile on his face but complained bitterly to himself in his head.
In actuality, his attire was already considered extremely simple as compared to Kalisa’s.
Females’ outfits would always be more complicated than those of men. Kalisa’s wedding outfit was named “Heavy Nine,” and as the name suggested, it was comprised of nine layers as well as several ribbons and cloths. In total, she would wear about thirteen to fourteen layers at the least, and this number could even exceed twenty!
These layers were all put on with precision—the clothes, colours and designs could not be repeated, and this applied to the jewels used in the accessories as well. Thus, with every added layer, her clothes’ net worth increased significantly. If she wasn’t well to-do, this outfit would definitely not be possible.
Wearing multiple layers took a toll on the bride’s body and thus Kingdom of the Blue Moon citizens often preferred to hold their weddings during winter to avoid cases where the bride fainted or passed out during the ceremony.
Kalisa was luckily sufficiently wealthy and had a strong body. Although she was skinny and looked weak, she was actually lean and was able to perform weird tricks such as “Standing on Fist” and “Racing Horses Wrist,” which required much strength. Thus, the wedding outfit that she donned turned out to be made up of an impressive thirty odd layers
While all the layers were thin, the silk, gold, silver thread, jewels and other little details made them heavy. For example, the third last layer, “A sky full of stars”, was made by sewing several jewels on silk and such an outfit alone was at least five to six pounds.
Her entire outfit weighed over forty pounds. It felt like an armour. Even worse, the layers were all stitched together and thus there was no distinction between the weight distribution. Any normal girl would not be able to complete the ceremony wearing such a ridiculous outfit.
However, Kalisa did not find it heavy and even commented that it was too light.
After all, it was the most important day of her life thus far and if she were to be lazy, it would be a waste!
“City Lord, we can’t add any more layers without repetition! That’s not auspicious.” The waiting lady spoke up apologetically.
Repetition would bring about the negative superstition that after the marriage, the husband would fool around with other girls which was extremely undesirable.
However, Kalisa was certain that Leon would have a change of heart – she had taken tens of years to chase him and that was with her above average looks. Other girls who wanted to do so would certainly have a hard time.
Furthermore, she was confident in her beauty.

The Goddess of Love had also mentioned previously that she was the only lady in Leon’s heart and he only thought of other females as “female creatures”, “female associates”, “female enemies” or “female friends” et cetera.
The Goddess of Love had even tried to invade Leon’s dreams to test him and she saw that he was unmoved by any female featured in his dreams. No matter how she had tried to seduce him in his dreams, Leon was indifferent. Even when the Goddess of Love had revealed her true self in anger, Leon had also only nodded and acknowledged her as the Queen of Fire without any other reaction.
This angered and satisfied the Goddess of Love at the same time as she was impressed yet indignant that her smouldering beauty had had no effect on Leon.
After all, the Goddess of Love’s greatest strength was her charisma. Most men stood no chance against it. She had seduced several men in the past, either enemies in war or extremely dangerous monsters, and even those who did not completely identify as men.
As far as she could remember, the last time she was unable to seduce someone was two to three thousand years ago.
She was embarrassed that her charisma, which was her pride and joy, failed to work this time. On the other hand, seeing that Leon was so loyal to Kalisa made her happy at the same time.
Such mixed feelings were extremely new to her. She had thus alluded such a phenomenon to the strength of control of disciples by the Void Lord and had thus sought his advice but returned with nothing.
While the Goddess of Love felt that Sui Xiong was hiding secrets from her, Sui Xiong felt that it was merely a difference in mindset.
At this moment, the Goddess of Love had also naturally arrived at Garth City. However, unlike Javier and Sui Xiong, she did not fly freely in the sky but morphed into a six-foot-tall and six-foot-wide middle aged woman with thick thighs who sold fruits in the streets.
Although this body was strong, and her skin was clear, the horrendously large size still put others off. Even those who could see through her identity like Sui Xiong was stunned at her drastic change in appearance and couldn’t believe their eyes.
This… this was the stunning Goddess of Love?!
It had to be a joke!
Javier had cautioned the Goddess of Love to not morph into such ugly looking bodies before in the past but such a warning had been met with nonchalance and she had even winked at him while possessing a face with an unkempt beard.
Thus, when Javier first saw the Goddess of Love with such a horrible appearance yet again, he decided to avoid her by joining Sui Xiong to chat in the sky and enjoy the wind.
“This wedding is really serious. Preparations for it have taken at least half a year, right?” Javier asked.
“That’s right, preparations started in spring.”
“Why do you insist on a red theme? It feels strange somehow.”
“It looks fiery and adds to the mood, no?”
As Sui Xiong spoke, the city burst into cheers as Leon appeared amongst a bunch of close friend as per the city’s traditions. They got ready to circle the city before fetching the bride…
