Invincible Dad-Chapter 501 Do You Like Watching Fireworks?_1

Chapter 501: Chapter 501 Do You Like Watching Fireworks?_1
As the words fell, Xu Lai and Ruan Tang simultaneously turned their gazes toward Xu Yiyi and Qian Xiao as the two little ones walked onto the stage that had been set up in the courtyard. Apart from being flower children, they were also doubling as the hosts.
In Ruan Tang’s words, she didn’t want to hire an outsider to host; she wanted her daughter to be the one to do it.
"Thank you, everyone, for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my Daddy and Mommy’s wedding," Xu Yiyi said with a sweet smile, her big eyes curving into crescents.
Many people in the audience smiled at the sight. Xu Yiyi was wearing the little dress Xu Lai had given her for her birthday. She looked as delicate and lovely as a jade carving, so adorable that people felt an urge to pat her cheeks. She was instantly endearing to everyone.
"Thank you, everyone, for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my father-in-law and mother-in-law’s wedding," Qian Xiao chimed in with a matching sweet smile.
"PFFT—"
Sitting beside her father, Mao Gaoshan, Mao Dou sprayed out the drink she was sipping, utterly shocked.
Was this a pre-approved engagement?
But most of the adults were amused and broke into wide smiles, especially Luo Chu!
"What’s going on?" Qian Song had a puzzled look on his face. "When did my son decide to marry Xu Yiyi?"
"I have no idea," Luo Chu said cheerfully. "In any case, it’s a good thing."
She was the first to clap, exclaiming loudly, "Excellent!"
"..."
In the crowd, only Xu Lai’s face darkened. If Ruan Tang hadn’t gently squeezed his hand and shaken her head with a smile, he might have actually stormed the stage and kicked Qian Xiao all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
That little brat. Daring to have ideas about my daughter at a time like this. Henceforth, in the vast sky of endless white clouds, there shall not be a single one for you!
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Yiyi pouted. "Stick to the script! If you keep rambling, I’ll get angry."
"Okay, okay, okay." Qian Xiao panicked instantly and asked cautiously, "What are the lines again...?"
Xu Yiyi froze. Her little head was filled with big questions. Her face started to turn red, and she held it in for a long time before finally managing to say, "I... I forgot too."
"Hahaha!"
Laughter erupted from the audience. Ruan Tang couldn’t help but laugh as well. Xu Lai watched, momentarily lost in a daze. Her laugh was so incredibly sweet.
"Don’t just stand there looking foolish. Let’s go up on stage," Ruan Tang said, linking arms with Xu Lai, a blissful smile on her face. "Our daughter is about to cry from forgetting her lines."
She had been so nervous yesterday that she hadn’t slept all night, yet at the wedding itself, she showed no signs of nervousness. Her every smile and expression was perfectly natural.
"Right. Let’s get this over with so we can proceed to the bridal chamber," Xu Lai nodded, then whispered in Ruan Tang’s ear, "Darling, don’t be in such a hurry."
His words made Ruan Tang blush crimson. From an angle where no one could see, she pinched his waist and whispered back, "Darling, you just wait until tonight!"
Darling.
The word left her lips, and Xu Lai froze for a moment before his smile grew even wider.
Without further ado, they walked hand in hand onto the stage, skipping some of the formalities.
Xu Lai first tapped Qian Xiao on the forehead, then picked up Yiyi and praised her, "Yiyi, you spoke so well."
"I forgot my lines," Yiyi said, feeling wronged as she shot a glare at Qian Xiao. "It’s all his fault."
Xu Lai’s gaze swept across the guests at each table before he began to speak. "This wedding is six years overdue, but today, we’ve finally made it happen. Here, I want to apologize to my wife, Ruan Tang, and my daughter, Xu Yiyi."
"At the same time, I thank all of you for gracing us with your presence. From me, Xu Lai... my deepest thanks to you all!"
Xu Lai turned to Ruan Tang. "Darling, is there anything you’d like to say?"
Ruan Tang: ???
That’s it? You’re done? That wasn’t even as good as Yiyi and Qian Xiao’s ’straight man, funny man’ routine!
"Brother-in-law, show us a talent!" Ruan Lan heckled from the audience.
"Boss Lady, I want to hear _Love Confession Balloon_!"
"You’re already married, why _Love Confession Balloon_? Give us _Sweet as Honey_!"
"..."
Few of Xu Lai’s friends teased him aloud, the main exceptions being Ruan Lan and her colleagues from Above the White Clouds, who had always treated Xu Lai as one of their own.
"Alright," Xu Lai smiled and glanced at Ruan Tang. "Do you like fireworks?"
"Ah?" Ruan Tang was startled.
The next second, Xu Lai snapped his fingers, and countless fireworks suddenly soared into the sky above Mount Haitang.
Strangely, it was clearly daytime, yet the fireworks were dazzlingly brilliant, shining like the brightest stars in the night sky.
But with the exception of Taotie, no one present knew that those ’fireworks’ were, in fact, stars.
"Are these fireworks... a picture story?" Ruan Lan suddenly exclaimed.
The fireworks were beautiful. But what captivated everyone most were the scenes formed by the countless explosions, beginning from Xu Lai and Ruan Tang’s first meeting. One by one, scenes of their family of three, including Xu Yiyi, unfolded in the air.
The wedding guests were transfixed.
Tourists on the mountain stared agape, while the CEO of a leading company in the fireworks industry was so terrified he was dumbstruck.
Which fireworks company is this? Their technology and capability are a decade ahead of the industry... no, at least a hundred years!
His own company could make fireworks that formed characters and specific patterns, which was already considered the pinnacle of the industry and put them at the apex globally.
But these fireworks today... They were like a movie, with smooth visuals, rich colors, and an absurdly high frame rate!
That’s it. Frame rate! There wasn’t a hint of stuttering.
Apart from the fireworks industry insiders, the Heavenly Dao was also watching this ’movie’. Sitting on a white cloud, it was both shocked and terrified by the sheer extravagance.
Because every single firework was an ’Earth’.
In just a few minutes, at least a billion stars had exploded. Though they were all lifeless stars, Earth’s Heavenly Dao was still in a panic.
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy with several hundred billion stars, many of which host planets with life and Cultivators. Let alone the living beings on nearby planets like the Moon, Mars, and Mercury, high-Boundary Cultivators across the entire Milky Way sensed the stars exploding.
They were terrified!
Mistaking it for an invasion by a powerful enemy, they went on high alert, even awakening the supreme beings within their Dao Endowment.
「In the distant Western Immortal Domain」
Before a Holy Tree towering millions of feet high, a Twelve-winged Archangel gazed toward The East, lost in thought. On the branches above sat another Twelve-winged Archangel, identical in appearance, her bare, snow-white feet swinging with girlish whimsy.
"An Yue, stop looking." Anna stretched languidly, her voice seductive. "It’s a good thing The Supreme Emperor is getting married. The Heavenly Court cannot be without an Empress for a single day."
An Yue was usually quiet and reserved, only speaking more when she was with Xu Lai. She stood up, preparing to fly toward The East.
"If you go now, are you trying to embarrass him?" Anna said with a teasing smile. "Don’t be rash. We have all the time in the world."
「In the Eastern Immortal Domain’s Green Sect」
A young woman in a green dress, stunningly beautiful yet with eyes as placid as still water, was holding a small ginger cat named Wanxia. She, too, was gazing toward the place where the stars were exploding.
The maidservant beside her wanted to speak but hesitated.
「In the divine land of Qingqiu」
A certain nine-tailed fox wore a look of sorrow.
「In the boundless East Sea」
A pouting princess of the Dragon Race, who had two cute little horns on her head, tossed chess pieces into the water one by one.
Usually, there was someone else to keep her company during such tedious pastimes.
