Chapter 173: We Are Getting Married
"Pozëmka."
Kevin rarely used such a solemn tone.
She was completely stunned. Just yesterday, she was still the one taking the initiative in the offensive.
But who would have thought that in just one night, their positions would undergo such a dramatic reversal.
Whoosh!
The Judgement of Shamash was thrust into the floor of the cabin. The flickering flames were not scorching but instead filled with warmth.
His left hand rested on the sword, his right hand holding the ring.
"In Kevin's name, with the Heavenly Fire as witness,"
"Until the cycles cease and history fades away."
"I will become your hero, and yours alone."
"Your sole companion and beloved, now and forever."
"Never to betray, walking side by side."
"Pozëmka Nikolayevna Ivanova, will you have me?"
The box fully opened, its "petals" falling to the ground one by one. On Kevin's fingertip rested that magnificent ring.
For thirteen years, it had always been Pozëmka making the effort.
But this time, even if only this once...
Hah, let him take the initiative a little too.
The dreamlike luster made Pozëmka almost unable to believe everything she was seeing and hearing.
She instinctively thought this was a dream.
Even as an illusory dream, this scene was far too beautiful.
When those sky-blue eyes reflected reality, when the question reached her ears, everything happening told her this was real.
"I do."
Pozëmka's voice trembled with emotion. Just three short words.
Yet behind them lay thirteen full years of companionship and waiting. On this day when her wish was finally fulfilled, she couldn't remain unmoved.
Kevin took her left hand and slid that ring of great significance onto her middle finger.
Her fair, delicate finger and the magnificent ring complemented each other perfectly. Every inch of texture inside the band fit Pozëmka's skin flawlessly, as if this treasure was inherently hers.
Thus, the ceremony was complete.
Pozëmka could no longer control herself. Tears welled in her eyes as she reached out, wrapped her arms around Kevin's neck, and kissed him.
The two embraced each other, kissing high up in the Ferris wheel cabin.
This tenderness and sweetness were not gifts from heaven. They were the deserved rewards and presents for everything she had done all along.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
High in the air, the aircraft's rotors still churned the air currents diligently.
Eden stood elegantly at the edge of the aircraft platform in her high heels.
A smile unconsciously curled at the corner of her mouth—seemingly one of relief, seemingly one of emotion.
Swoosh—
At some point, movement came from the rope at her feet. A Sarkaz, covered in dust but wearing a brilliant smile on her face, climbed up the rope.
"You've worked hard, W."
Eden gently extended a hand. Without overthinking it, W chuckled and grabbed it, then used the momentum to flip onto the aircraft.
"Not hard at all, not hard at all! Sister Eden is the one who did all the planning. If we really relied on my unreliable plans, who knows if Boss's thing today would have fallen through."
W quickly demurred. Without Eden, she would have messed things up today.
If something had gone wrong on such an important day, she wouldn't have known how to face Boss Kevin.
Of the entire plan, only the initial movie theater part was her doing, and even that didn't achieve much effect.
The dismal results quickly made her realize she was a failure. After receiving Eden's plan, she followed along without a second thought.
Including that fortune-teller earlier...
Thank goodness her skin was thick enough; otherwise, with that technique—put nicely called "East-West fusion," put bluntly called "neither fish nor fowl"—she wouldn't have been able to fool anyone.
"So, you said letting me participate meant having me do her makeup?"
Xi rolled her eyes prettily. That wasn't what she wanted.
"Miss Xi, disguise is also a very important part."
Although Eden could do it too, she didn't have suitable tools on hand, and Pozëmka was far too familiar with W.
If it were just ordinary makeup, W would probably be recognized as soon as she got close. Never doubt a Lupo's ability to discern.
So, she could only resort to slightly unconventional methods.
At least, the "decoration" drawn by Miss Xi was indeed difficult to see through. Fiammetta's checkpoint was completely bypassed.
As for Kevin?
Heh, if her work could even fool Kevin, then there would be no need to worry about so-called "Sui."
At least, Eden hadn't placed such high hopes on Xi in that regard. From start to finish, all their actions were within Kevin's sight. There was nothing taboo about that.
"Alright, alright, alright. I can't argue with you. He (she) got a good deal though, with so many people running around for this."
Xi couldn't help but glance down at the Ferris wheel below.
Damn it! They're still hugging and kissing! They haven't stopped at all! Can't they show a little self-control?!
Xi felt deeply pained by such degenerate behavior from the two.
"He is worth it. She is worth it too. Isn't that so?"
Eden smiled and raised a glass to Xi.
"I suppose so."
Xi turned her head away proudly—out of sight, out of mind. It's just mere mortal love; she wasn't envious at all.
"Of course they're worth it! That's my Boss! Sister Eden, how was my performance?"
W placed her hands on her hips proudly. Regardless of whether she messed up earlier, she genuinely participated in the entire plan.
"Hmm... Using a term from those electronic games you played with Nian before... there's one word that fits quite well."
Eden pondered slightly, a smile on her face.
"M.V.P. You truly deserve it."
"Hehehe."
W scratched her head with a silly grin, feeling secretly quite proud inside.
As expected of Sister Eden; even compliments sound so nice.
In the end, the night's clamor subsided once more, returning to silence.
But the promise he (she) made was deeply engraved into this land and into his heart.

Over ten days later,
Today's courtyard was exceptionally lively—decorated with lanterns and streamers—the festive atmosphere alone made passersby feel joyful involuntarily.
According to calculations and divinations by the Directorate of Astronomy, these consecutive days were all auspicious dates—perfect for holding a wedding ceremony.
These people weren't like W making things up randomly or those swindling Casters from the jianghu.
The Directorate of Astronomy had official government positions. Usually, their daily work involved predicting Catastrophe movement directions.
Calculating auspicious dates... was truly overkill.
But this was Grand Tutor's decision. He hoped to express Yan's goodwill towards Kevin as much as possible on behalf of the nation.
The other party had settled in Yan for thirteen years; Gouwu had been free from disasters and calamities for thirteen years. From the standpoint of the common people alone, he deserved it.
"Here, Pozëmka, try this one on."
"Oh wow! Eden! So that's why Kevin suddenly had someone make clothes for me back then! You guys had already decided everything back then! And I was kept completely in the dark!"
Eden smiled warmly as she took out a garment that had been tailored long ago.
It was unmistakably—a wedding dress!
