Chapter 100: Chapter 100 : Xie Jianyu’s Wedding Preparation

Xie Jianshen’s face took on a blank expression when he heard his father’s words.

"Wedding? To an omega?"

The Emperor arched an eyebrow at his eldest son.

"Otherwise?"

Xie Jianshen draped an arm protectively around Xie Jianyu’s shoulder.

"Little Yu is not ready," he decided.

The Emperor squinted at his sons.

"The Heavenly Empire is not waiting for him to be ready, or for you to make him ready."

Xie Jianshen opened his mouth to argue, but Xie Jianyu squeezed his hand to silence him.

"I don’t mind," he said. "I will do it."

The Emperor smiled.

"Very good. Jianyu is growing up."

Xie Jianshen grew tense.

"It is not about growing up or not! Little Yu’s body is not yet capable of impregnating an omega."

The Emperor scoffed.

"No one expects Jianyu to sire a child as soon as he gets married. We dragons are known to be reproductively challenged anyway. I trust that the treatment is an ongoing process, Jianshen?"

What great timing. Just when the Reversal Seeds were out of reach.

"I am working on it," he said, his temples throbbing as he spoke.

"Very well. I see no problem at all then. Jianyu, we shall pick an obedient wife for you. Someone who does not have lofty ambitions."

"Do you have someone in mind, Father?" Xie Jianshen asked.

"Indeed, I have. After going through the many submissions for the future empress candidate, I find someone to my liking. It is Song Wanrong, Qifeng Palace Master’s niece. She just differentiated into an omega two weeks ago. The girl is sensible and well-mannered. She will make a fine wife for Jianyu."

Xie Jianshen hummed.

Song Wanrong was a young maiden of sixteen years old, almost two years younger than Xie Jianyu.

The Qifeng Palace was his mother’s birth palace, so Xie Jianshen went to visit many times to maintain good relationships with the phoenix clan.

The Song Wanrong he remembered was a shy and timid girl. Indeed, only this kind of girl would not kick a fuss when she did not get pregnant right away.

Five months.

Xie Jianyu’s treatment was going to resume after five months.

Xie Jianshen bit into his lower lip anxiously.

"When will the wedding take place?"

The Emperor let out a booming laughter.

"Impatient now, aren’t you? Naturally, a couple must not meet each other for the first time during the wedding ceremony. Jianyu, you will pay a visit to Qifeng Palace in the near future and get to know Song Wanrong. Song Weiyang shall be notified of your interest in his niece."

Xie Jianyu nodded briefly.

"Yes, Father."

The Emperor shifted his gaze to Xie Jianshen.

"Jianshen, make sure that Jianyu has all he needs to be a doting husband to his future wife."

"I understand."

The two siblings left the Emperor’s private chamber soon after, and Xie Jianshen pulled Xie Jianyu to the side.

"Little Yu, come with me to the Compendium Pavilion."

"What for, Big Brother?"

"I need you to take a look at something."

The Compendium Pavilion was the largest library in Heavenly Realm, located some distance away from the Golden Dragon Palace.

It was established more than a thousand years ago, and was said to contain all the records that spanned between the time of creation up until now. Secrets of life and death were safely tucked within the Compendium Pavilion, available only for those who sought the truth with inexhaustible zeal.

The tall shelves that extended from the ground to the ceiling stood in an intimidating manner, looking down at the people who sought wisdom and knowledge between the pages.

Some of these tall shelves surrounded Xie Jianshen and Xie Jianyu as they looked down at various scrolls and records that were sprawled open across the table.

The more Xie Jianyu looked, the hotter his face became.

The reading materials, bearing provocative titles such as "Spring Palace Manual", "The Secrets To A Harmonious And Fulfilling Conjugal Relations", and "Soaring Like A Dragon And Diving Like A Tortoise", shared one thing in common.

They contained detailed descriptions of how to perform marital acts between the different genders, accompanied by graphic illustrations that would embarrass even the most ascetic god in heaven.

Xie Jianyu closed his eyes and turned away from a picture that showed an alpha and an omega in the middle of a passionate copulation. The omega was filled with ecstasy as she wrapped her legs around the alpha’s sturdy waist.

"Big Brother, I don’t want to see this," Xie Jianyu declared. "I want to go home."

Xie Jianshen pulled at his horrified brother’s arm and forced him to take a seat in front of all the books.

"Little Yu, all alphas who want to get married have to learn all these things. You need to perform your marital duties well during the course of your marriage."

"..."

Xie Jianyu knew that alphas and omegas slept with each other to produce children. He just didn’t know that the act of sleeping was this impure, this embarrassing...

Xie Jianyu swallowed hard as he tried to imagine himself in the alpha’s position, lying atop the young omega and...

Xie Jianyu closed his eyes and growled. He gaped at his brother in a mixture of confusion and fear.

"Big Brother, I... do I have to do this often?"

Xie Jianshen stared at him.

"You have to do it a few times every week, and every day when your wife is going through a heat period. The probability for an omega to conceive during a heat period is a hundredfold."

"..."

Xie Jianyu slammed the books shut and rolled the scrolls one by one.

"I understand, Big Brother. I will learn. But not now. Not today. This is too much."

"Then we will take all of these and bring them back to your palace. I expect you to read at least one every day until the day of your wedding arrives."

"....."

Xie Jianyu was speechless. Maybe he did not think it through when he bravely told his father that he was ready.
