Chapter 102: Extra 3: Wedding of the Century 

Translated by Addis of Exiled Rebels Scanlations

Xie Ran decided to stay at the Xie family’s residence, where he could frequently meet with his aunt and grandfather, which was very important to him. His aunt took over as the Legion Commander at a young age, bearing the burden of deep-seated enmity and immense psychological pressure over the years. Despite many people pursuing her, she had never considered her own lifelong matters and remained single until now. Now that all the turmoil had settled, she finally accepted the pursuit of the Chief of the Medical Team of the Starlight Legion.

The doctor’s personality was very gentle, and over the years, he had often helped her with mental guiding and taken good care of her. He had served in the Starlight Legion for six years, silently guarding her during her most difficult times. Now that the two of them could be together, Xie Ran was happy to hear the news about his aunt.

In these two years, Xie Ran and Lu Zexuan had visited many planets. In addition to Dorado, they had also successfully reached agreements for mutual benefit with the lords of two other planets.

Marshal Qin Xiao also began to reform the military department vigorously. The construction of the Guide Military Medical College, personally funded by the Federal Military Department, was completed, specifically recruiting guide doctors for training. Even C-grade guides could apply, and after graduation, they would be directly assigned to major legions as military doctors. Now, as the first Intergalactic Diplomat in human history, Xie Ran became an idol in the hearts of many young guides.

In this year’s enrollment for the Guide Medical College, the number of applicants exceeded expectations. Countless young guides eagerly competed to enter the medical school, including Xie Ran’s three former roommates from the Sanctuary.

Upon hearing this news, Xie Ran was very pleased. Guides and sentinels were inherently inseparable. With the efforts of countless people, there would be more guides accompanying the expeditions in the future, and sentinels would receive more timely treatment.

In recent months, the rate of sentinel frenzy had dropped to less than 2%, a figure that was unimaginable in the past. The influence caused by the Dark Night Organization gradually faded away, and the Federation entered a more prosperous and stable era.

In August of the 502nd year of the Star Calendar, the Spirit Fox Legion took a few days off.

Upon returning home, Lu Zexuan discussed with his parents about going to the Xie family to propose marriage. The “two-year time” that Xie Ran had agreed upon had already passed. Now that his aunt had found a partner, it was time for them to officially get married and enjoy their sweet time together.

Lu Tingyu had been hoping that they would marry as soon as possible. Hearing his son say he wanted to propose in person, he was overjoyed and excitedly patted Lu Zexuan on the shoulder, saying, “Great! The tradition of not marrying between legions has long been abolished. Even the President is asking when you two are getting married! I wanted to propose two years ago, but there was no progress on your side, and I was getting anxious!”

Jiao Shuo calmly said, “Two years ago, Ranran had just regained Xie Ran’s identity and had been separated from his family for so long. It’s only right for him to stay with the Xie family and accompany his aunt more. I think waiting for two years before getting married is just right.”

Lu Zexuan nodded, “Mom is right, and that’s also my agreement with Ranran. Tomorrow, I want to formally visit his grandfather and aunt. He only has these two relatives in this world, so I must show my sincerity to the elders and reassure them to entrust Ranran to me.”

Lu Tingyu looked at his wife, “Have you prepared the gifts?”

Jiao Shuo said, “They have been prepared long ago. We can go to propose anytime.” She looked at Lu Zexuan, “After marriage, where do you plan to live?”

Lu Zexuan said, “I have prepared a house. It’s a small villa where we can live alone and spend some time together.”

Lu Tingyu and Jiao Shuo glanced at each other, surprised that their son had quietly prepared a house for marriage.

Lu Tingyu chuckled, “Newlyweds need their own space. It’s inconvenient to live with elders. I agree with you living separately.”

Jiao Shuo reminded, “If you live separately, you have to take good care of Ranran.”

Lu Zexuan said, “Don’t worry, I will cook for him personally.”

The next day at noon, Lu Zexuan and his parents came to the Xie family for a visit, bringing a carload of generous gifts.

Qin Xiao and Xie Chen understood their intention and felt complicated—was this to propose marriage?

Xie Chen politely invited the three into the living room and had servants serve tea and water.

After some small talk, Lu Tingyu smiled and said, “Marshal, General Xie, we are here today to formally propose marriage to Xie Ran. It has been two years since the Dark Night Organization was wiped out, and the two children have a stable relationship. As parents, we should discuss their marriage properly.”

Xie Ran sat next to his aunt, feeling a bit embarrassed. Being proposed to in person? This situation felt strange. He felt awkward facing the elders, so he focused on drinking tea, but his ears perked up to listen to everyone’s discussion.

Lu Zexuan looked at the elders and said sincerely, “Ranran and I have been through life and death together, and our bond is deep. He is the person I have decided to protect for life. I hope Marshal and General Xie will agree to our marriage. I promise to take good care of him after marriage and not let him suffer any grievances.”

Qin Xiao and Xie Chen looked at each other. Everyone could see the depth of their relationship. They had gone undercover together in the Dark Night Organization, experienced numerous hardships, and Lu Zexuan had fully cooperated with Xie Ran, even willingly becoming his “puppet.” At critical moments, disregarding his own injuries, he protected Xie Ran with all his might. How many people could do that?

After the turmoil of the past two years subsided, they traveled to alien planets together. Wherever Ranran was, Lu Zexuan was there. They were inseparable, with an unspoken understanding, even becoming the favorite “national CP” of countless people.

There were still many fans discussing online, “General Xie and General Lu are simply a perfect match!”

“Are General Lu and General Xie getting married today?”

“What kind of offspring will the eagle and the fox produce? I’m so curious!”

A sentinel like Lu Zexuan was a reassuring choice of partner for parents. But Qin Xiao and Xie Chen still felt reluctant. Ranran, who they had raised in the palm of their hands, had suffered so much. And now, was he really going to get married and start a family?

Xie Chen felt heavy-hearted at the thought of Ranran leaving again. After a moment of silence, she said, “Zexuan, I don’t doubt your feelings for RanRan. Since General Lu personally came to propose… as long as Ranran agrees, I won’t object to this marriage.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zexuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Xiao spoke earnestly, “For the two of you, after going through so much together, being able to come together is not easy. As for marriage, it depends on how Ranran feels.” He looked at Xie Ran and asked, “Ranran, are you sure you want to marry Lu Zexuan?”

All eyes turned to Xie Ran. Perhaps because he had become a General, his appearance was becoming more and more similar to Xie Xi when she was young, especially when he wore his military uniform, exuding the same military demeanor, decisiveness, and sharpness as his mother. Facing everyone’s gaze, Xie Ran didn’t hesitate or waver. He raised his head and calmly said, “Grandfather, I am sure. Zexuan is the person I have chosen, and I only want to marry him. As for the timing and format of the wedding, I will discuss it with Zexuan.”

Listening to his straightforward statement, Lu Zexuan felt extremely happy. This was the guide he loved. He would stand by his side without hesitation during critical moments, facing everything together. The two had already pledged their lifelong commitment to each other. If the elders were to obstruct them, it would seem unreasonable.

Qin Xiao smiled helplessly and said, “Alright, since Ranran has made up his mind about you, I won’t say much more. Both of you are very decisive people. You decide on the wedding yourselves.” He paused and added, “Oh, Zexuan, remember to visit the cemetery with Ranran and share this good news with his parents.”

Lu Zexuan quickly responded, “Of course, we will go to the cemetery this afternoon.”

After a harmonious meal with both families, they drove to the cemetery in the southern suburbs. It was summer, and the trees in the cemetery were lush, making the air at the mountaintop particularly fresh.

Xie Ran brought Lu Zexuan to the tombstone of Xie Xi and Qin Luo. Looking at the portraits of the two, he softly introduced, “Dad, Mom, this is the sentinel I have chosen. He is Lu Zexuan, the son of General Lu. We have decided to get married… Was my choice not bad?”

Lu Zexuan bowed deeply towards the tombstone and said softly, “General Xie, Professor Qin, please rest assured. I will take good care of RanRan. I love him very much, and I will love only him for the rest of my life.”

Xie Ran raised an eyebrow and glanced at Lu Zexuan, “Still calling them General Xie and Professor Qin?”

Lu Zexuan realized his mistake and quickly corrected himself, “Dad, Mom, please rest assured. I will always be by Ranran’s side.”

Feeling warmed by Lu Zexuan’s words, Xie Ran gently took his hand in front of the tombstone. It was regrettable that his beloved parents couldn’t witness his wedding, but Xie Ran believed that if they were still alive, they would surely bless him and Lu Zexuan. After all, they sincerely loved each other and had promised to stay together through life and death. With such a sentinel to take care of and accompany their son, they would surely feel comforted in the afterlife, right?

After leaving the cemetery, Lu Zexuan took Xie Ran to book their wedding attire. They chose the same style of suits in different colors and had them custom-made by a designer. The wedding rings were already prepared, simple in design with a pattern of a little fox and an eagle inside the rings, bringing joy to the spirit bodies.

The White Eagle was overjoyed, laughing incessantly in his mind, “Hehe, I’m the winner in life. I have two spiritual companions!”

The Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly opened its tails, and the raging flames swept over like a storm, frightening the Eagle, who flew around in the sky.

The White Fox quickly bound it with green vines and asked with a smile, “Are you happy?”

The White Eagle whimpered, “Wuwuwu, they’re bullying me! 1v2, it’s so unfair!”

Among the spirit bodies, due to their different species, there would be no physical relationships. Instead, they existed as “spiritual world companions.” The White Eagle had two companions, experiencing both pain and happiness in their 1v2 games.

Lu Zexuan smiled faintly, not minding the way the spirit bodies played. He looked at Ranran, softly asking, “How about we set the wedding date for October 30th, our birthdays? Is that okay?”

Xie Ran thought for a moment and said, “Okay, let’s do it on that day.”

They were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, perhaps their fate was destined from birth. This year’s October 30th happened to be their 28th birthday. Having the wedding on their birthday—the day when “my world has you” would become even more meaningful.

As for the form of the wedding, Xie Ran wanted it to be simple, inviting only close friends and family. After much consideration, he said, “As for the location, let’s choose Red Spider Planet. What do you think?”

President Harrison promised them not to disclose the location of Red Spider Planet to the public, making it a strictly confidential place. Leaking such information was a serious crime for military personnel, so the existence of Red Spider Planet was still known to only a few. The ecology there was still well preserved.

Lu Zexuan understood why Ranran wanted to have the wedding on Red Spider Planet.

To Xie Ran, the Spider Queen was like another mother to him. Back then, at his most desperate and dangerous moment, the Spider Queen led him out of the darkness and gave him hope of rebirth. Later, when Xie Ran successfully completed his undercover mission and eliminated the Night Organization, the Spider Queen’s help was indispensable.

In recent years, busy with leading the Spirit Fox Legion on expeditions to alien planets, Xie Ran had missed her a bit. Getting married was a major event in his life. How could he let this most important friend from an alien world be absent?

Lu Zexuan fully supported and respected Xie ran’s decision. He said, “No problem. Since we’re choosing Red Spider Planet, let’s not hire a wedding company. We’ll have a warm and intimate wedding privately. The lawn will be our red carpet, and those little spiders will be our groomsmen and bridesmaids?”

Xie Ran imagined the scene of countless little spiders accompanying them across the lawn and couldn’t help but look forward to it, saying, “That will be a unique wedding in the whole universe. Do you think the Queen will be annoyed? These humans, why are they here again?”

Lu Zexuan gently hugged Xie Ran’s shoulder and said, “She won’t be. To her, you’re also her most important friend. She will be very happy that you have found your happiness.”

The two exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

Xie Ran was the first Intergalactic Diplomat of the Federation. Therefore, holding Xie Ran’s wedding on an alien planet was quite unique. At that time, they would let the Spider Queen, their alien friend, serve as their officiant.
