Chapter 706

Chapter 706

Wu Yan, Kirito, Klein, Agil, and Souta arrived at the scene as they looked at the event .

In the center of a giant patch of flowers, due to the elevation, they could see everyone from the stage .

The cul-de-sacs-like design gave the whole place a very good look . When a breeze blew by, petals flew into the air, raining down on everyone soon after . It was like a scene straight out of a fantasy movie . Colors of all colors blooming and pleasing everyone's olfactory senses with their scent . The audience was very please with the venue .

Tables with white tablecloth filled the place . There were food, drinks, and snacks laid out on the table . The attendees browsed the goods as the stockpile of food slowly dwindled .

"Congratulations, Yan-kun!"

"Congratulations, Wu Yan-dono!"

"Congratulations, Wu Yan-san..."

They gave Wu Yan a round of toast when he arrived . Wu Yan smiled and his nervous look disappeared . He raised a cup to acknowledge their toasts . He looked rather elegant when he was decked out in his ceremonial clothes .

Kirito, Agil, Souta, and Agil exchanged looks when they saw Wu Yan coping with the current pace of events .

"Wait, wasn't he getting the butterflies a moment ago?"

Klein rubbed his head .

"How did he turn back into a normal human?"

"Some people are like that..."

Souta said with an easy-going attitude .

"They look nervous before going up the stage but they can handle themselves when they are actually on stage . Maybe he was born for events like this..."

Agil nodded . He patted Kirito on his shoulder as he insinuated something .

"There are also people who look calm but lose their crap when they go on stage . People like THAT, are usually braggarts..."

Kirito glanced at Agil . He wanted to say something but they were surrounded by the attendees in no time at all .

"Guild master Souta, so you came too..."

"Guild master Klein, it has been a while..."

"Yo, Agil, got any good stuff coming in?"

Klein, Agil, and Souta were surrounded . They started discussing as they left out Kirito who liked it this way . His lips twitched when he saw the few friends he had ditch him to talk about business .

Kirito approached Wu Yan from behind, interrupting the slew of congratulations the others were raining down on him . He whispered .

"Hey, aren't you a loner? How did you get to know so many people?..."

Wu Yan continued gesturing to the people who greeted him as he said something that almost brought Kirito to his knees .

"I don't know most of these people!"

Kirito had a 囧 look on his face .

"Why are you acting so chummy with them then?"

"It's nothing really..."

Wu Yan almost caused Kirito to vomit blood .

"Look, they are here to congratulate me, manners dictate I respond in kind . It certainly beats standing around like you, you look like a statue!"

Kirito was petrified .

Wu Yan didn't know most of the players who are here to congratulate him . Technically, he only invited Kirito and the others . Most of the players here invited themselves or were here on Klein's invites .

Since they are here to share the bliss, even if they have ulterior motives, it would only be tactful for him to smile and wave back . It's a day for celebration, not for mopping around...

After a while, the venue turned silent...

The originally rowdy place became dead quiet . Wu Yan & co also turned taciturn . That's because they were preoccupied with the figure standing at the entrance .

A girl in a princess dress stood at the entrance . Her glistening white dress took in the sun's light and gave her a divine hue . Her porcelain white skin was exposed to the air and sunlight . She wore an intricately designed crystal necklace . Her earrings were to die for, all her accessories served only to accentuate her beauty .

Her orange-brownish hair was tied up in a fantastic braid . She looked like a princess who walked out of a fairy tale . She took away the breaths of almost everyone here, they just didn't know what to make of her exquisiteness...

Absolutely stunning

Asuna finally arrived .

Asuna had a very refreshing smile on her face . The blush on her face gave away her true emotions . Liz led her onto the elevation as Sachi, Shion, and Silica trailed behind her .

Wu Yan's soul was blown out of his body .

Asuna's bashful and nervous smile stopped when she saw Wu Yan who looked dashing in his knight-like ceremonial clothes . She was even more flustered and shy . She carried bliss and joy in her faint smile, stealing even more mortal souls with her cute actions .

Asuna saw Wu Yan who couldn't look away from her and she pouted .

"How long are you to stare like that?"

Asuna's words brought Wu Yan back into the present .

"It's your fault, you're simply enchanting..."

Asuna turned away in an apparent huff but those around her could see she's pleased with his comments .

It's nice to get a compliment from someone . It sounds way better when that compliment comes from someone she loves...

Liz smirked and she slapped Wu Yan on the chest .

"How about it? You want a mirror so you can see your goofy look? Do you feel like a winner now?"

"Please, I feel like the richest man in the universe..."

Wu Yan mumbled .

"I am very proud too..."

Kirito, Liz, and the others flinched before they laughed out loud in unison .

"Yeah..."

Sachi chuckled .

"Anyone would be proud to marry a girl as gorgeous as her, even someone outstanding like Onii-san..."

Sachi looked towards the crowd, those mesmerized by Asuna were staring at Wu Yan with eyes filled to the brim with jealousy and admiration .

They can also faintly hear the Black Cats and Fuurinkazan suppressing the commotion outside . It's clear the troublemakers outside didn't want to see Asuna embracing another man, they were raising hell outside the venue...

"Here you go..."

Liz curled her lips as she placed Asuna's hand in Wu Yan's palm . She used a very serious face and tone with him .

"I am returning your bride to you, you better make sure you don't make her sad..."

Asuna turned towards Wu Yan who beamed at her .

"Now that I am holding onto her, there's no way I am letting go!"

"Even if we return to the real world!"

Asuna's eyes trembled as her gaze softened and mellowed out .

Kirito, Liz, Sachi, Shion, Silica, Souta, and Agil all laughed heartily...
