Chapter 1069: 1069
Chapter 1069: Decision on the Jade Bell
The wedding between the clan master of Mu Clan, Happy and Young Yu Yan finally arrived while everyone looked forward to it .
On this time, Gusu City and the entire Lake Tai bustled with activity . Handsome horses and all sorts of players could be seen rushing over from everywhere .
The parade with all sorts of decorations on them extended from Gusu City’s Murong Clan to the port . Countless Mu Clan members were filled with joy, and they started describing the detailed time and some of the things they were to pay attention to during the wedding at Mantuo Villa for the people and the heroes in the game .
Many of the people who came from the distance originally thought that the Mu Clan members were talking too much, but once they shook them off and arrived near the port, they were completely dumbfounded when they saw the situation at the lake .
“Oh, my lord… There’re so many people here…”
Before they even arrived near the port, they saw that the crowd occupied such a big area that they even spilled out of the port, to the point that the last person was hundreds of feet away from the port .
When they looked over, all they saw were the backs of other people’s heads .
The black mass of people had turned this place into an area that had a crowd that was even denser than a market .
The sounds of people chatting were loud . People from all over the game could be seen everywhere greeting each other and engaging in various conversations . Some of them even had gold emblems on their chests, and some of them were elites from Dragon Rank, Phoenix Rank, and Famous People Rank .
However, regardless of whether they were leaders of various sects or the elites on Famous People Rank, they waited behind the crowd in an orderly fashion, and they did not show any act of using their power to move forward .
A few sects who were enemies with each other were also here . They had to hold back their hostility and not bother each other while putting on joyful and congratulatory smiles, because there were Mu Clan members spread all over the place .
When they saw this, some of the people who came from the distance and regarded themselves with great importance got down from their horses . They honestly went to ask the Mu Clan members around them the details of the wedding . They also asked when they could get on the ships .
“Hehe . You’ll have to wait for a while . After some time, our parade will come over, and when the couple arrives at Mantuo Villa, we can go inside . ” The Mu Clan members were incredibly patient, regardless of whether they were talking to a man or a woman, and even if they had already answered the same question multiple times .
‘Isn’t the parade here yet?’ Someone could not help but grumble, but he asked worriedly, “Then will we be wasting a lot of time here?”
“Don’t worry, you won’t be wasting a lot of time . ”
Those people were originally prepared to continue grumbling to the Mu Clan members . They wanted to say that since there were so many people waiting for ships at the bank, they would need to take a long time to go to Mantuo Villa if they had to take turns, but when they saw how certain the Mu Clan members were when they said that the wedding will not be delayed, their words instantly died in their throats .

As they spoke, more martial artists and curious players continued to move over to join the crowd .
Those who stood in the crowd saw that the players asking questions were the same as they previously were .
Those players asking questions cast them a glance before they tentatively asked the Mu Clan members around them about the time and situation of the wedding .
Then, these people in the crowd all started chatting with the people around them in a very calm manner . They looked relaxed and composed, just like sages .
The crowd grew in number .
Fifteen minutes soon passed .
At that moment, a group of red-robed elites drew close to the port excitedly while they made their horses charge forward . They shouted, “The clan master is here! Mu Clan members, clear a path to welcome the couple!”
When they heard the shouts, the discussions at Lake Tai instantly vanished . Countless people turned around and craned their necks to stare at the government-made road that this parade took to get here .
From the distance, they saw a long, red dragon heading toward them in a mighty wave .
“They’re finally here!”
“The parade is huge! How are all of us supposed to get over?”
“Are we going to be left behind?”
Such discussions rose and fell outside the crowd .
*****
“Pardon me!”
“Please move to the sides…”
“Excuse me . ”
The Mu Clan members quickly moved .
The people near the port also cooperated . When they heard that they were supposed to move, they were very sensible and cooperative . They just moved to the sides .
Once the Mu Clan parade who were stationed at Lake Tai to guard the place moved into the crowd to clear a path, a path that was as wide as sixteen feet swiftly stretched to the port at Lake Tai from the outermost layer of the crowd .
Rumble! Rumble!
The parade sent to escort Happy and Young Yu Yan swiftly drew close from the government-made road from the distance .
The group became clearer before them, and it also appeared grander and even more magnificent the closer they were . They looked like a red army, and the presence they exuded was grand and dignified .
“As expected of the strongest player in the world and the leader of the strongest sect in the Chinese server . Even when he gets married, he mobilized a parade of more than ten thousand people and a whole day for his wedding . Who exactly can spend so much resources?”
“I heard that it’s not Happy’s idea . ”
“I heard about it too . They say that it’s Happy’s coursemates who organized this . The parade escorting them alone has more than fifty top-class elites . The parade has more than ten thousand people, right? I heard that it kept growing because Mu Clan members kept joining the main team with every city they passed . ”
“That’s nothing . Just you wait until you see how many people are following behind the parade . That’ll truly shock you!” someone in the crowd said .
Very soon, many people rolled their eyes at him in scorn .
“Tsk, we already know since a long time ago . The news channels in the real world already made a report about this . It seems like there are hundreds of thousands of people following them . And they say that it’s the wedding of the century in the Chinese world of martial artists!”
“Wedding of the century, eh? The bride sure is lucky . ”
Quite a number of female players in the crowd stared at the scene ahead of them with sparkling eyes, and their incredible expressions caused their male companions to be so nervous that they regretted their decisions of coming here . They had cold sweat break out on their skin, and they grumbled about why they just had to come here and watch the festivities .

As the group drew closer, the ground trembled fre quently .
The people raised their heads to look .
And the bride and bridegroom, to whom the people paid attention to the most, had been persuaded to move to the center of the group instead of moving in front . They moved into a large carriage with a jade bell attached to it, and it looked incredibly awesome . It was specially made from Suzhou, and eight white as well as handsome white horses pulled the carriage forward at a steady speed .
“These people sure did something really troublesome…”
Happy acted like he was sitting on pins while he sat in the lavish carriage with the jade bell, which they had specially made for him . He heard that only the emperor could enjoy this sort of treatment .
“Later on, you’ll see exactly what is truly troublesome . ” Compared to Happy, Xu Xin just sat in the carriage indifferently while she hit her sore calves gently because she had been riding for too long .
“They even managed to get something that the emperor rides in . What else can be more astonishing than this?” Happy scooped up Xu Xin’s calves in a natural motion, and when she cried out softly in surprise while glaring at him, he placed her calves on his knees, had qi gush into his hands, and started pushing at her acupressure points gently .
“Huh?” She was not quite used to this in the beginning, but soon, Xu Xin felt a wave of warmth travel from Happy’s palms into her calves . Most of the soreness instantly vanished, and it was actually very comfortable .
“You can use hidden forces this way as well?”
“There are plenty of other uses to it . Want to know?” Happy grinned like a fox .
Xu Xin was never a shameless person, and her pretty face turned red . “No . I just need to press the points a little . ”
But she did not struggle and just let a certain man use the excuse of massaging her to caress her .
“By the way, how’s it going on the other side? Did Wind Assault Tower attempt a break?”
“You made the correct guess . Phantasmal Shadow now wishes that I can help her throw Dream Clouds’ lineup outside Beijing into chaos and create a chance for her to break out . ”
Happy then told Xu Xin the results of his fight during the day .
Xu Xin’s expression gradually turned grave .
“You’re currently in a very dangerous situation . Dream Clouds is a very calculative person . She will definitely work together with Evil Emperor to make a plan to deal with you . If something happens to you, you won’t be able to avoid being locked up for a month . ”
“I know that too . ” Happy smiled . While he enjoyed touching Xu Xin’s smooth and tender skin, he answered, “That’s why I told her that I need to think about it, and she had to listen to me when it came to what exactly she had to do and when she took action . ”
When she heard Happy’s explanation, Xu Xin finally released a sigh of relief .
“Where does Phantasmal Shadow intend to go to in the Chinese server after she breaks out? I might be able to help . ”
“You?”
“Don’t forget . Right now, Mu Clan is the strongest among the four top sects in the Chinese server . Chivalry Sect, Wind Assault Tower, and Wind and Rain Alliance follow our lead, and from today onwards, I will be the female clan master of Mu Clan . It should not be a problem for me to investigate the details of a place . ”
“Of course . Who would dare offend my dear wife?”
Xu Xin was stunned silent . Then, her face turned red, and she reminded the bastard of a man to answer her question .
“The coastal areas . Phantasmal Shadow knows how strong Class One Hall and Wild Wolves are . They no longer intend to develop Wind Assault Tower in a large scale and are prepared to launch guerilla attacks . At the same time they slowly whittle down Class One Hall’s strength, they would wait for the Chinese server to slowly accumulate strength to fight against Class One Hall . ”
Xu Xin nodded after she heard this, but she did not think further into this . She just stared into Happy’s eyes and asked, “What about you?”
“What about me?” Happy was stunned .
“My dear clan master, you’re currently alone over there . Do you really intend to continue using your own strength to fight against Wild Wolves and Class One Hall? Or do you intend to join the coquettish woman’s sect and become Wind Assault Tower’s fighter?”
“No way . Only Xu Xin would be able to make me become her fighter . There’s no way I’ll join Wind Assault Tower . Besides, there’s no way that woman can control your man . ”
“That is a horrible way of saying things . ” Xu Xin quickly moved away when Happy tried to get close to her . “Since you don’t want to join Wind Assault Tower, don’t you want to build a sect like Mu Clan and call it your own?”
“I did think about it in the past, but the changes had happened too quickly . I’ve just finished accumulating strength for myself, and the Chinese server has turned into its current state . ”
“What does that have to do with it? You managed to take down Class One Hall with your own strength in the past, and you even chased Class One Hall to West Region yourself . ” Xu Xin stared into Happy’s eyes seriously . “If you can do it here, you can do it there as well . You just have one more Evil Emperor to deal with . Besides, you admitted yourself that once you level up to Inaction Realm, you will have hope in winning against Evil Emperor . ”
“Do you want me to build another Mu Clan?’
“I don’t want you to lose to Dream Clouds . ” Xu Xin’s tone then changed, and she leaned against Happy’s chest gently . “Also, I hope that you can be happy over there as well . Even though I can’t go over to help you, I don’t want you to be so tired when you come over . Every time I see you being tired and going through so much trouble, I feel horrible… absolutely horrible . But I don’t know how I should help you…”
As she spoke, Xu Xin’s eyes gradually turned red, and tears started pooling in her eyes .
When Happy noticed that the pretty lady was trembling slightly in his arms and had a frail tone in her voice because she could not find anyone to support her, Happy felt his heart clench, and he subconsciously tightened his hold of the girl in his arms .
“Who said you can’t help me?” Happy gently caressed Xu Xin’s smooth and long hair before he smiled and said, “At least you helped me make a decision . ”
Right when he finished speaking, the jade bell rang .
“Boss, we’re at Lake Tai! Look at the red carpet we prepared for you over the past half a month!”

Truck-kun Gets Sacrificed
Driscoll is my own version of a world with a game-like "system" of endless possibilities. MC has his own status, classes, skills, magic, and a living greatswordstaff in a world of monsters, demi-humans of all kinds, and even the supernatural. Sound good? Well, at first for Tru, it was a dream come true(I'm sorry). At least until reality hits him again and again. His quest from God is vague and must be discovered by him along the way. Hopefully, he can figure that out someday but for now, this new world's threats and his potential for power are motivation aplenty. With His new partner by his side, he's ready to embark on his mission of infinite sacrifice, however many lives it takes. The setting is pretty standard for fantasy, with my beginner attempts at writing. Litrpg elements are definitely involved here but It'll calm down as the story progresses and the world's foundation is laid. Judeo/Christian themes and principles take a major role and will be a backbone for much of the story. The fights will paint a picture in the mind rather than just be a bunch of number crunching. While he is meant to be a sacrifice to save all of Driscoll, he needs to gain enough power and influence to be a worthwhile sacrifice, or so he thinks. And so carnage will ensue as he avoids death as best he can while at the same time sacking himself for others. Truck Coon is your average determined, jiu-jitsu practitioner, tax associate that just started his new career. He dies to save kids from a semi-truck(Truck Coon got truck-kun'd, making him Truck-kun) and is transported to another world rather conventionally by God. Upon his arrival, he is quickly confronted with his first conflicts in the wild. Give it a shot and let me know what you think. Chapters are currently between 2300 and 4000 words and I try to post weekly, but also deal with severe limitations that cause late posts often. I have zero actual experience with writing stories and only recently started reading web novels in 2020. If you end up hating it, let me know your thoughts in a detailed comment or review, especially if you love it though :D I want to get better and welcome the feedback, so expect changes to be made with any flaws that y'all point out which I don't already have plans to address in future chapters. That being said, keep it constructive in nature, please. I have no Idea how the formatting and such will go, so if you like or dislike some techniques I try, give me that well-appreciated feedback! Thank you for reading.

Making a difference
Harry Potter FanFiction: Hannah Longbottom liked to watch the people who entered the Wizarding World via the small, walled courtyard behind the Leaky Cauldron for a reason: During her not so long life, she had learned about three different boys who had entered the Wizarding World alone, leaving behind a life so horrible she could barely imagine. One of them, who became a friend of hers, had gone through great hardships to become a hero, one of the greatest wizards the Wizarding World had ever seen. One of them, who had been her teacher, had become cold and bitter, and no one had ever recognized what amazing talents he could have offered, until it had been too late. One of them, the monster she had helped to fight during the Battle of Hogwarts, had become the most dreaded, most dangerous, and most deadly man Great Britain had ever seen, and yet it could have all been different, if someone had just tried to make that difference early enough in that life, if he had not boarded the train to Hogwarts all alone. Already posted at Devianart and AO3, I've included a link to RoyalRoad on my profiles there.
