The bride could not be seen and instead, everyone focused their attention towards Liu Yue. Liu Yue was in the front dressed in all pink. She was wearing a ribbon sash across her chest and her hair was covered by a luxuriously decorated hat. With this getup, the handsome Liu Yue looked even more handsome. It was as if she was someone who had descended from the heavens. She was simply matchless.

As she passed each road, only the sound of heavy breathing could be heard and the sight of widened eyes could be seen.
