Chapter 349 Before Marriage
Lieyan Jianni did not plan to bring Ulala to Earth in advance, and he sent out a notice to prepare for a simple wedding when Ukunana and the others had just arrived in Beimeng.
On one end, Kenny and Ulala stood ramrod straight as if being punished, while on the other end of the communication, Ukunana almost smashed her elf bracelet in anger.
Getting from Quark Star to Moe Academy isn't always convenient.
The fact that Miya Xing and Rui Bu Si arrived in one go via a phone booth, as they did last time, is a rare occurrence throughout the year.
In most cases, the only feedback received is that the road to the phone booth is blocked, along with a lot of black and white smoke.
There's nothing we can do about it; the two places are not in the same galaxy, too far apart, and their energies are mixed.
As soon as Lieyan Genny arrived on Earth through Quatno, the only point of contact between the Quark race and humans, he went to the monastery where Maria lived almost immediately.
I need to clarify one thing here.
Even though the phone booths in the Moe Academy are directly connected to Earth, and even though the phone booths can both receive and deliver calls.
But Quatnor is the only point of communication between the Quark race and Earth.
That's the explicit rule.
Perhaps the phone booth wasn't formal enough.
In short, after Genny arrived on Earth through a formally documented location and reached the monastery, Maria and the other monks and nuns who knew him warmly welcomed his return.
Then things turned out differently than he expected.
They inevitably started talking about certain things.
"Haven't you attended a single Sunday Mass since you left?"
Why would he participate in something like this?
"What happened?"
thing……
Does forgetting count?
Within half an hour, he learned that he had committed several serious crimes:
Unauthorized departure from the monastery;
Long-term unexcused absence from Mass;
Neglecting one's religious responsibilities.
Is this serious?
Judging from Maria's mother's serious expression, this was a serious matter.
But no one accused him of being disrespectful to God or anything like that.
“The merciful Lord will forgive you,” the people surrounding him said, and explained the entire process of confession to him, asking him to choose an early time.
Kenny wanted to say that he had never listened to any of the prayers he received as a child; he was either spacing out or just sleeping. His baptism happened before he could remember anything, and he had never believed in the Lord or God.
But looking at his family members who had always been good to him, who had believed in him their whole lives, he knew they would be very sad if he said he didn't believe.
Besides, he had burned down the monastery several times.
He had also burned down churches in the city several times.
The nuns and monks would hold gatherings, and he burned down one of the meeting places.
So, on Maria's advice, he did a deep self-reflection overnight and returned to the city the next day to contact the priest.
Everything is proceeding smoothly up to this point.
If he hadn't thanked the old priest for his words that had given him so much encouragement back then...
"You said that my ability to set fires comes from hell and demons, and that the demons would leave as long as I am strong enough. That gave me a lot of encouragement at the time, and now I can control my ability."
He spoke with great enthusiasm, but the old priest's brow furrowed immediately after hearing what he said.
Genny realized then that the old priest had never believed the fire came from him when he was a child, and that his mother, Maria, had never told anyone about the magic.
Later, Kenney learned that this old priest, who had been a staunch believer throughout his life, could never have said such a thing.
Only pseudo-canonical texts would think that way.
But at that moment, the old priest quickly regained his calm and serious demeanor and gently told him, "The devil does not have superpowers; superpowers belong to the Lord alone."
The old priest made the sign of the cross, and under his bewildered gaze, said, "May the Lord forgive your unintentional transgression with His love and grant you wisdom so that you may know His holy word more deeply."
A very thick Bible was handed to him.
It's very thick, the kind of thick enough to last a lifetime.
The little incident was quickly forgotten. Here, Genny met another person who was very compatible with him and knew about the existence of magic. In the atmosphere of boredom among the pages of the book, they talked about everything.
It wasn't until the half-day visit to the psychological counseling room and the exorcism ritual specially performed for him upon his return that he learned his new best friend was a psychological counselor.
On the third day, he introduced Ulala to the old priest and Maria's mother. The church held a wedding for believers that day, and he helped as a young laborer.
After the wedding, Maria's mother asked him, "When is Kenny planning to get married? After graduation?"
This statement seems to implicitly assume that they will one day have a wedding in a church.
"But Ulala doesn't believe in religion." Actually, he didn't believe either.
He also wanted to ask Maria's mother why the existence of the magical world had not shaken her faith in the slightest.
But he didn't really want to perform another exorcism ritual.
It's unpleasant to feel that no one is blaming you, and everyone is being mild and friendly, but at the same time they are assuming you are wrong and that they have an obligation to correct and teach you.
Of course, the most important point is...
They didn't have time to get to that day.
Maria was gentle and did not make any forceful demands: "But she doesn't object to having a wedding in a church, does she?"
Genny did not tell anyone here what he was about to do.
“Jenny, instead of guessing here, why don’t you ask her what she thinks?” Maria mistook his hesitation for indecisiveness.
"Yes, I'll ask her."
After a two-hour discussion with Ulala, Miya Xing and his other friends finally received the news that they were preparing to hold a small wedding.
This is actually against the rules. With such a tight schedule, there's nothing there, and it has nothing to do with formality.
But he told Maria's mother that they would be very busy in the future and it might be difficult to come back here again.
There was no precedent for this, but after discussion, they agreed that the wedding could be held at the church three days later in the afternoon.
As mentioned earlier, it would take a very long time for Quark Star to reach Earth at this point, and it's even possible that Ukunana wouldn't be able to get to Moe Academy before the wedding was over.
However, this does not mean that being on Quark Star means there is absolutely no way to get to Moe Academy immediately.
—Through the council of elders.
That night, Ukunana found them, emanating a chill from her body.
Ulala had anticipated this. She and Ukunana talked for a long time, and only when it was just getting light did they fall asleep in each other's arms, just like when they were children.
Because of Da Tian Tian's "indecisiveness," Mi Ya Xing and the others arrived even later than Wu Ke Nana.
She placed an order overnight and brought several boxes of things needed for the wedding, as well as several boxes of herself, her handkerchief, and even clothes that Mia Xing should wear.
This has led to several serious problems—
How to put it, where to put it, how to explain how so many things came from so far away in such a short time?
Everything was stuffed into Quatno all at once.
Aside from the priest speaking to the newlyweds about marital responsibilities before the wedding, the wedding ceremony itself was pretty much what Da Tiantian knew.
While leaving Miya Xing at the church to keep Kenny company, Da Tian Tian, without any psychological burden, slid back to Quatno with Pa to do things like dress-up for Ulala before her wedding.
Churches are boring places for non-believers, especially since the people there like to try to convert others to religion.
The clergy weren't particularly enthusiastic; after a brief greeting, they went about their business, but the elderly religious men and women were incredibly warm and welcoming.
Since Kenny had just confessed, his premarital confession became particularly simple. The priest spoke to him as if only to confirm whether the psychological treatment or exorcism had been successful, or even just one of them.
The answer pleased him greatly.
The priest quickly came out to help Mia Xing out of the predicament. They exchanged a few words, and after learning that Mia Xing and his school were not involved in religion, their conversation no longer touched on faith.
“Jenny, your priest suspects you are a heretic.”
The hectic schedule of the past few days left Kenny weak and listless: "How did you know?"
“Mind reading, huh?” Miya Xing waved his hand. “He suspects that your brain has been damaged by heretics. What have you said these past few days since you came back?”
Genny covered his head, on the verge of tears: "A liar has appeared..."
"You've told me everything?"
"Ah."
"puff."
