This matter happened shortly after Feng Jiu woke up. Si Ming approached Zhong Lin to make a discreet inquiry.
Si Ming: Zhong Lin, I heard Di Jun is planning to make up to Her Highness, Feng Jiu by holding a wedding feast?
Zhong Lin: That’s correct.
Si Ming: And it will be two hundred days of continuous celebration?
Zhong Lin: That’s correct.
Si Ming: Isn’t that a bit extreme? The immortals of the 4 Seas and Eight Realms don’t actually have that much free time to attend that old man’s wedding every day.
Zhong Lin: The old man isn’t actually that concerned about whether people will show up or not.
Si Ming: ?
Zhong Lin: He only cares about the last 200 years of effort he had painstakingly spent on preparing the 200 different styles and accents of wedding robes and whether Her Highness, Feng Jiu will wear a different one each day for him to admire.
Si Ming: …
Zhong Lin: I feel that Her Highness will do it.
Si Ming: …
Zhong Lin: Her Highness is so gullible, Di Jun said that in the Era of Chaos (洪荒), marriages between the ancient gods were carried out in this manner; it would have been 200 days of continuous celebration where the bride had to wear 200 different wedding robes. She truly believed him.
Si Ming: …
Si Ming: High God Zhe Yan is also a God from the Era of Chaos (洪荒), didn’t he warn Her Highness, Feng Jiu of the truth and expose the lie?
Zhong Lin: He did not.
Si Ming: It is not like High God Zhe Yan to hold back the truth.
Zhong Lin: Yes, It must be because High God Zhe Yan is hoping that High God Bai Zhen will also believe this lie so when they get married, he will also wear 200 different wedding robes for him to admire.
Si Ming: ….
Zhong Lin: So now you know our Tai Chen Palace’s biggest secret in the recent 200 years.
Si Ming: ?
Zhong Lin patting Si Ming on his shoulder: If anyone outside of Tai Chen Palace misinterprets what is really going on at the wedding reception, Star Lord Si Ming, I will have a heart-to-heart chat with you.
Si Ming: ?????????!!!!!!!
Translator’s note : Zhong Lin’s last line is the gist of the joke. He doesn’t want the realms to know the real truth behind the 200-day wedding and says it indirectly (不太好的解读). Which is why we phrased the translation this way, to try to invoke the same meaning. The joke is the way Zhong Lin says it. That is if anyone outside of the palace misinterprets (as in actually knowing the truth) it, he will hold Si Ming responsible.
