Chapter 109 Wedding
"M...marry?"
Bulma stammered.
"Yes, let's get married!"
Turles didn't know Bulma only mentioned Goku's marriage to change the subject. So seeing Bulma stunned, he thought she hadn't heard clearly. He could only repeat what he'd just said.
Only after Turles said it again did Bulma jolt awake. She twisted her clothing hem with her fingers, somewhat at a loss. She complained in a small voice, "You haven't even proposed to me!"
The moment the words left her mouth, Bulma realized what she'd said. She hurriedly covered her face with her hands, turning away.
Though unable to see Bulma's face, Turles saw the girl's shyness from her now-crimson ears. He smiled gently, slowly kneeling on one knee.
Using divine power to conjure a silver ring flowing with streaming light, Turles's solemn voice rang out: "Miss Bulma, will you marry me?"
Truly hearing Turles's proposal, the shy Bulma's beautiful large eyes immediately widened to their maximum. Somewhat disbelievingly, she lowered her hands, slowly turning her body.
She saw Turles kneeling on one knee before her, holding a silver ring in his hand, watching her affectionately with both eyes.
Bulma couldn't help covering her lips. Tears gradually filled her eyes. She emotionally stepped forward.
"In the time before now, I've spent very little time with you. Perhaps in future times, I may not always stay by your side either. But I still hope to walk forward together with you."
"So, Miss Bulma, will you marry me now?"
Seeing Bulma not speaking for ages, Turles scratched his head somewhat. Racking his brain thinking, he finally came up with a few sweet words.
"Pfft!"
Bulma was amused by Turles's words. Who proposes like this? Even though she was experiencing this for the first time, at minimum she'd seen it before—had some expectations in her heart.
However, though complaining inwardly, the smile on Bulma's face exposed her true thoughts. Next second, she directly extended her right hand before Turles, middle finger slightly raised.
Seeing this, Turles smiled knowingly. He immediately placed the ring on Bulma's middle finger.
After the ring was on, Bulma immediately withdrew her jade hand. Eyes shining, she examined the ring on her hand, gaze full of love.
Turles shook his head, standing from the ground. Extending his arms to embrace Bulma, he said in a low voice, "Look—you've already accepted my proposal. When should we hold the wedding?"
Bulma moved her gaze from the ring. Looking up at Turles, eyes full of tenderness, mouth corners lifting, she breathed softly, "Anytime is fine. If you're anxious, even today works!"
After speaking, Bulma gave Turles a charming smile. Lightly pecking Turles's lips, without giving him time to react, she laughingly broke from his embrace, directly flying toward their house.
Being teased by Bulma's allure, Turles's heart heated. Licking his lips, mouth corners hooking, he showed an evil smile, flying after Bulma's back.

News of Turles and Bulma's wedding spread across Red Stone the next day. Hearing this news, all Saiyans grew excited.
Plus yesterday, Turles had given each of them one Spirit Tree fruit—causing their battle power to massively increase.
Moreover, they were very satisfied with Bulma.
Though regrettably Bulma wasn't a pure-blooded Saiyan, through her genius intellect, Bulma had already conquered everyone on Red Stone.
At minimum, their current missions already couldn't do without spaceship assistance—not to mention various other instruments assisting cultivation.
Seeing everyone so invested, Turles let them handle all wedding arrangements. He and Bulma went to notify invited guests together.
"When did Kakarot get married? How did I not know at all? And they already have a child?"
In the room, while trimming his beard in the mirror, Turles casually asked Bulma, who was organizing clothes.
Hearing this, Bulma's movements paused. Then she said as if nothing happened, "Goku returned to Earth shortly after you went to Supreme Kai Realm."
"Around that time, Chi-Chi found him, bringing up what Goku promised about marriage as a child. Goku didn't understand these things—confusedly married Chi-Chi."
"I only learned last visit that they already have a child. Goku even gave him his grandfather's name—Son Gohan."
"Son Gohan!"
Hearing this name, Turles's heart felt somewhat emotional.
He didn't know whether this Son Gohan was still the astonishingly talented "Nobi-han" from the original. After all, in this timeline, Goku's marriage timing differed from the original.
But Turles figured this Son Gohan's potential shouldn't be poor either. Because Saiyan and Earth human hybrid offspring—especially first-generation hybrids—each had excellent potential.
Not mentioning Son Gohan—who later possessed the Saiyans' unique Mystic state—even later Trunks and Goten had astonishing potential. At young ages, they could already transform into Super Saiyans.
Even accounting for Vegeta and Goku having already transformed into Super Saiyans—genes greatly optimized, giving both stronger heredity—this couldn't deny both their talents.
Thinking this, Turles looked at Bulma thoughtfully. He wondered what potential his and Bulma's future children would have.
The moment Turles mentioned Goku, Bulma's heart grew somewhat nervous. Seeing Turles watching her, she hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is something the matter? Why are you watching me like that?"
Turles smiled mysteriously. Setting down the razor, he walked to the bed, examining Bulma up and down.
Currently, Bulma wore household pajamas. Smooth silk clung tightly to fair skin, displaying her graceful figure completely.
Bulma noticed the heat in Turles's eyes. Even though they'd lived together for long periods, she still felt somewhat shy.
Tightening her collar, Bulma swallowed, somewhat nervous. Voice trembling, "What, what do you want to do?"
"Hehe!"
Turles grinned, suddenly pouncing on Bulma onto the bed. Amid Bulma's surprised cry, he kissed her lips.
Only when Bulma couldn't catch her breath did Turles release her. Watching the flushed, heavily breathing Bulma, he finally said, "I'm thinking what to name our child. What do you think of Trunks?"
"Uh!"
Hearing this name, Bulma's body suddenly stiffened. The flush on her face completely faded. Soon it became somewhat pale.
Feeling Bulma's body stiffen, Turles showed no surprise whatsoever. Still speaking warmly, "Don't worry—I already know. It's just Vegeta. As long as he can reform, I won't attack him again. As for Nappa and them—I think with Vegeta's battle power, there's no need to worry."
After speaking, Turles gently kissed Bulma's forehead, again embracing her.
"You already knew? I shouldn't have hidden it from you!"
Hearing Turles's words, Bulma's heart finally relaxed. Then she told Turles about Vegeta and her sister in detail.
After hearing Bulma's account, Turles sighed emotionally. Just tightening his arms around his beloved, he didn't speak.
Bulma also obediently nestled in Turles's embrace. Neither spoke. They just quietly lay on the bed, sharing warmth.
"Um, should we invite my sister and Vegeta then?"
After long silence, Bulma suddenly asked.
"Let's invite them too. After all, she's your sister. If your wedding didn't have her participation, it would be a regret for you. I hope our wedding is perfect—both for you and for me!"

This day, early morning, Red Stone began bustling.
New spaceships continuously landed at Red Stone's dedicated spacecraft docking area.
At this moment, a spatial fluctuation flashed. A silver spaceship suddenly appeared in midair.
"Hum!"
The spaceship slowly descended to the ground. After stabilizing, the hatch slowly opened. Several figures appeared at the ship's entrance.
"Boss, I'm here!"
Just as Turles prepared stepping forward, Goku's voice reached his ears.
Turles smiled helplessly. Could only hug the charging Goku.
"Kakarot!"
"Boss, when exactly does that Universe 7 tournament North Kai-sama mentioned start? I can barely wait!"
After hugging Turles, Goku impatiently asked. His eyes full of excitement.
Alright—very Goku. His nature hadn't changed at all. Even though he'd already married.
Turles smiled apologetically at Dr. Briefs and Mrs. Briefs behind Goku, then explained to Goku, "That's still far off. Right now, universe planets are just beginning communication. Many races don't have many experts. Even if you participated now, you wouldn't have many opponents."
After explaining, to escape Goku's pestering, Turles immediately turned toward a young girl wearing blue female martial arts clothing, holding a baby in her arms. Smiling at her, he greeted, "You must be Chi-Chi. This guy Kakarot got married without even telling me. This is a make-up gift for you both."
After speaking, he extended his hand, presenting an exquisite box.
Chi-Chi—originally somewhat amazed by Turles and Goku's similar appearances—immediately stepped forward after Turles presented the gift. After accepting the box, widening her eyes, she looked at Turles generously, smiling:
"I kept hearing Goku say Boss looks exactly like him. I didn't believe it. But seeing you, I believe it! Boss, aren't you really his biological older brother? I think compared to Raditz, you're more like his big brother!"
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Chi-Chi's words, Turles also couldn't help laughing heartily.
Regarding Chi-Chi, Turles quite appreciated her. Though her union with Goku seemed somewhat childish, from the original story, their relationship was quite good.
Though Chi-Chi constantly complained about Goku not caring for family, being able to raise two children for Goku without complaint—undeniably, Chi-Chi also sacrificed much.
However, now her fate might change.
Glancing at the still carefree-looking Goku, Turles said seriously to Chi-Chi, "Since I'm Kakarot's boss, then you're also my younger sister. Kakarot is worrying. If you have any problems in future, definitely don't be polite."
The newly-married Chi-Chi didn't yet know what her future life would be like. But she could hear the warmth in Turles's words. So though somewhat puzzled, she still smiled and agreed.
After dealing with the Goku couple, Turles walked before Dr. Briefs and Mrs. Briefs, greeting both:
"Doctor, Mrs. Briefs—we meet again!"
Dr. Briefs hadn't yet spoken when Mrs. Briefs smiled, waving at Turles. Then she teased, "I said Turles—you handsome young man—were excellent. Indeed, Bulma's taste matches her mother's. Such a shame—such a handsome man is getting married."
Mrs. Briefs's thought process remained so unique. One sentence completely stumped Turles. Could only show a polite awkward smile.
Fortunately this time, Dr. Briefs was reliable. Pulling his wife, he smiled at Turles and stepped aside.
Turles's gaze also fell on the final two people.
Looking at the familiar pair, the smile on Turles's face vanished.
After a moment's silence, Turles finally spoke, "Long time no see, Tights. And Vegeta."
Tights somewhat didn't dare meet Turles's eyes. She knew how Turles had previously treated Vegeta. This time, secretly having Shenron revive Vegeta, she'd never dared face Turles—even though Turles counted as her brother-in-law. So Tights only hummed softly before walking to her parents' side, holding Trunks.
However, Vegeta didn't have so many thoughts. Though this year on Earth—due to Tights and Trunks's existence—his nature somewhat changed, his Saiyan Prince pride didn't allow him to bow his head. Especially before Turles.
"Hmph! What—want to kill me again?"
Vegeta snorted coldly, eyes looking at Turles provocatively.
"Vegeta!" Hearing Vegeta's words, Tights looked at him somewhat worriedly.
Seeing tears in Tights's eyes, Vegeta's heart twitched for some unknown reason. The words he wanted to continue were swallowed. Snorting lightly, he awkwardly turned his head.
Glancing at Tights, looking at this tsundere prince before him, Turles inwardly laughed. However, his face showed no expression. Rather, he displayed some disdain.
"Just you? You think you can enter my eyes now?"
Naturally, Turles knew how to deal with Vegeta's tsundere nature. One sentence stabbed like a knife into Vegeta's heart and lungs.
Sure enough, hearing Turles say this, Vegeta immediately turned his head, glaring at Turles resentfully.
He'd already learned from Bulma that Turles could transform into Super Saiyan. But precisely because of this, Vegeta felt even angrier.
As the former Saiyan royal family, Vegeta had always been proud of his talent. He also lived up to his talent—at a young age, his battle power already surpassed his father the king.
But since meeting Turles, his pride shattered. Whether strength or training speed, Turles far exceeded him.
Not only that—Turles also raised Nappa and Raditz—subordinates he'd previously dismissed—to unimaginable battle power levels. Even let Nappa kill him through humanoid Great Ape transformation.
Now he'd even transformed into Super Saiyan. How could Vegeta accept this?
So after revival, Vegeta stayed on Earth. He dared not relax at all. Every day soaking in the gravity room training—hoping one day to surpass Turles.
He wanted to prove—Super Saiyan wasn't something only Turles could achieve. He—the former Saiyan Prince—could also achieve it.
Originally, Vegeta didn't plan attending Turles's wedding. But finally, he couldn't withstand Tights's pleas, agreeing.
But the moment Turles spoke, Vegeta still broke. The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed. Eyes staring fixedly at Turles, aura on his body also beginning to fluctuate.
But just as Vegeta wanted to attack, Turles's single sentence directly extinguished the anger in his heart.
"Want to know how to transform into Super Saiyan?"
"What?"
Vegeta somewhat disbelieved, looking at the half-smiling Turles with bewilderment.
