Just like that, another two years passed and both Lin Fan and Qiao Qiao came of age, so it was finally time for their wedding.

But it wasn't just their wedding, but also a celebration of the fact that they were bringing new life into this world.

Since they had already been engaged and they were in love with each other, they had engaged in nightly activities from time to time.

Just two months before their wedding, they found out that Qiao Qiao was pregnant which was a big surprise for them, but it was a happy surprise nonetheless.

During these two years, Lin Fan had slowly adapted to his position as the official who oversaw this village and the surrounding villages. At the same time, he had also started introducing new methods of farming based on his experiences from earth, which had greatly increased their grain yield.

Because of this, the people from the surrounding villages were attracted to migrate over and the village had already reached a level where it could be considered a town.

Of course, Lin Fan wasn't the mayor of this town since he didn't want that position, so the mayor was the original village chief of their village.

But none of that was on Lin Fan's mind because it was finally time for his wedding.

The day was a beautiful day without a single cloud in the sky.

Everyone in their town had shown up to celebrate this wedding, which just went to show how popular Lin Fan was.

Of course, even with how little Lin Fan talked, he was someone who showed his emotions through his actions instead of his words, so everyone understood what kind of person he was. There wasn't a single person in the town that hadn't been touched by his kindness.

The families of the two sides were the most happy because they had been waiting for this day for a long time.

When Lin Fan tried to go see Qiao Qiao before the wedding, he was stopped by his little sister.

The wedding ceremony in this world was different from the one on earth, so there wasn't the same rule about not seeing the bride before the wedding. But even then, his little sister was strangely aggressive about chasing him away.

He really couldn't understand what was happening.

They always had a good relationship, but since he and Qiao Qiao had announced the day of their wedding, she would act strangely aggressive towards him.

Even today, she stood right in front of the changing room glaring at him when he tried to enter.

He tried coaxing her, but all he received were the words, "Get out of here, you're in the way."

Lin Fan had a bitter smile when he heard this.

Qiao Man who was a part of his wedding party had also come along with him and when he saw this, he couldn't help patting Lin Fan's back with a comforting smile on his face since he knew what he was feeling. After all, his little sister had treated him the same for the longest time.

Lin Fan didn't know what to say to this, but then the door to the dressing room opened and it was Qiao Qiao that came out.

When Lin Fan saw her in her wedding dress, his breath couldn't help stopping, almost as if it had been knocked out of him by this beautiful sight.

He was about to say something, but Qiao Qiao waved her hand at him to stop him before taking his little sister in her arms. Then she turned and headed back in with his little sister.

Before she went back in, she didn't forget to turn back and say to Lin Fan, "You can go on ahead. We'll have some girls time first."

Lin Fan didn't understand what was happening, but he could tell that she wouldn't take no for an answer, so he just returned to his own dressing room.

By the time that the wedding ceremony began, his little sister had returned to her happy smiling self from before. Not only that, it seemed like she was much closer with Qiao Qiao.

During this time, it wasn't just Lin Fan that she was strangely aggressive towards, but also towards Qiao Qiao. However, when it came to her aggression towards Qiao Qiao, she was much more restrained. She just treated her coldly whenever they were together and she didn't shout at her like she did at Lin Fan.

Seeing them being so close now, Lin Fan knew that Qiao Qiao must have said something to calm his little sister down.

Looking at her standing beside him, he couldn't help feeling lucky that he had someone like this to spend his life with.

The wedding ceremony of this ancient world was different from the ones that Lin Fan was used to. This wedding ceremony was divided into three parts, the bows to the heavens, the vows, and the sealing kiss.

The first thing that they did as a couple was stand in front of the altar of the goddess where there had been mats placed. The two of them would be kneeling on those mats and kowtowing to the heavens for their blessing of their matrimony.

However, when Lin Fan stood in front of the altar, he couldn't help feeling a bit strange.

After all, the statue of the goddess was someone that he was familiar with.

It was the woman in the blue dress that he had met in the Ancient Era Ruins.

He had been stunned the first time that he had seen this and he had asked around about this statue, but he hadn't been able to find anything other than some basic information.

This statue was a statue of the Goddess of Water, the giver of all life and the goddess that most of the people in this world believed in.

Lin Fan couldn't help thinking whether this was just a coincidence or if this meant that he was still taking the trial, but he hadn't been able to find anything else about this matter since seeing this statue.

He had kept this matter in the back of his head the entire time, but he still hadn't found anything.

When the two of them were kneeling in front of the altar, the officiant of the wedding suddenly said, "Groom and bride, please bow to the heavens and receive their blessing for your matrimony."

Lin Fan looked over at Qiao Qiao and reached his hand out to her. She looked back at him with a smile and then took his hand.

Then together as one, they bowed their heads to the statue.

The wedding tradition was to give three kowtows to the heavens to receive their blessings.

After the first kowtow, the officiant said, "First bow."

Then once again he counted the second kowtow, but it wasn't as quiet as it was with the first kowtow.

This ceremony was just ceremonial and didn't have any real effects. It was just something that people had done as a testification of their marriage.

However, when Lin Fan and Qiao Qiao gave their second bow, the sky had suddenly darkened.

It wasn't as if it had suddenly turned as dark as the night, but there were a few stray clouds that appeared.

The people at the wedding were focused on the wedding, so they didn't notice this. However, for the people that were further away, they couldn't help looking up when they saw the sky darken.

But when they saw that it was just a few stray clouds, everyone turned back to their own thing since just a few stray clouds weren't that strange.

Then when Lin Fan and Qiao Qiao gave their third kowtow, the sky completely changed.

The sky suddenly filled with clouds as if it was about to rain.

This time, the people at the wedding couldn't ignore it since they all looked up in shock when everything suddenly turned dark.

Lin Fan and Qiao Qiao both looked up as well, wondering what was happening.

The moment that Lin Fan looked up, his eyes instantly narrowed.

With the depth of his soul, his senses were much sharper than normal people's. Even if it was far up in the air, Lin Fan could still instantly tell what he was looking at.

The clouds above them weren't clouds at all, but rather they were living beings floating in the air that had completely blocked out the sun.

Based on the way they were moving, Lin Fan could tell that these were beasts…

Was it an invasion of the Beast Race?

But this was a world without any cultivation at all, so why would they invade this kind of world?

Still, since the beasts were here and they were clearly aggressive, he didn't have time to think about it that much.

Lin Fan immediately stood up with Qiao Qiao and ignoring the wedding ceremony, he ran towards the crowd of guests that were present. All of them were high ranking people in the town, so he immediately gave them orders without any hesitation.

Lin Fan shouted, "Gather everyone and make your way into the shelter! Don't leave a single person in the town! Once you're there, make sure to lock up the shelter doors and don't open it under any circumstances!"

After shouting this to the mayor, he turned to the buff men sitting in a group who were the guards of the town and he said, "Gather all your weapons and prepare for a fight! There's no time to waste at all!"

The people in the crowd were confused why Lin Fan had said this to them, so they hesitated a bit, but they still chose to follow Lin Fan's words since they had trust in him.

But it was that moment of hesitation that made it too late for them. No, even if there wasn't that moment of hesitation, it still would have been too late.

Because the moment that everyone started to move, there was a rain of flames that fell down on them.
