Knowing that he was truly going to marry Pei Yunshu, Zhuyou became unusually uneasy. He would be absent all day, and when he did return, it was usually when Pei Yunshu was about to fall asleep.
Pei Yunshu kept the questions to himself, acknowledging that he was now a married man and shouldn’t be overly concerned about everything. However, during the day, he became increasingly absent-minded. After a day or two, Bai Lige also secretly followed Zhuyou.
In just a few days, the time had passed in the blink of an eye. When Pei Yunshu received two bright red outfits from the boss, it was time for the wedding.
With no particular customs to follow, Pei Yunshu and Zhuyou decided to avoid each other the day before. As the mansion was adorned with lights and decorations, and the character “囍” (double happiness) was everywhere, Pei Yunshu began to feel nervous.
Hua Yue accompanied him in trying on the wedding attire, joking, “The bride tomorrow must look even more splendid than Yunshu.”
Pei Yunshu looked at his somewhat unclear reflection in the mirror and laughed, “Let Zhuyou apply some rouge, so he can be the most beautiful bride.”
Outside, it was lively and bustling, with invited artisans slaughtering chickens and fish. On the wedding day, the gates were wide open, and anyone who wanted to enjoy a good meal just needed to offer a few kind words to enter.
These people were arranged outside, while only Bai Li Hua Yue and Qingfeng were allowed in the wedding venue.
Pei Yunshu calculated it clearly. Even if each one toasted, it would only be a matter of three cups. With some tricks, he could easily handle it and maintain the dignity of a husband.
However, on the day of the wedding, Pei Yunshu, looking at a room full of strange monsters, standing completely dumbfounded.
A house full of demons and monsters was loudly chatting, raising their wine glasses, eating heartily, and joking around. When Pei Yunshu led Zhuyou in, their faces turned weirdly trying not to laugh. In hushed tones, they said, “A little tree demon has captured our king!”
“Is Zhuyou a demon king or a demon queen?”
Pei Yunshu, maintaining a calm demeanor, nodding at them. The group of demons stood up, raised their glasses, and warmly congratulated Zhuyou and him.
“Wishing you a hundred years of happiness!”
“May your hearts be forever united!”
“Have many noble offspring!”
Pei Yunshu struggled to maintain a gentle smile. In his sea of consciousness, the small elemental nascent soul held a leaf to cover one eye, and there was a red pattern symbolizing a heart-formed vow on his forehead. Worried, he said, “Why do these monsters look a bit foolish?”
Pei Yunshu thought, “How can you say that? Their foolishness is not something they can change.”
Behind these monsters were their friends. Pei Yunshu squeezed Zhuyou’s hand tightly, and Zhuyou reciprocated by holding him, his long fingers enveloping Pei Yunshu’s entire hand. The thick, sticky aroma of wine and the fragrance of the wedding were rich and lingering.
Pei Yunshu turned his head and met Zhuyou’s gaze.
He lifted the beautiful wedding gown, his handsome face not showing any discordance despite the delicate dress. Black eyes were filled with joyful light, and dragon horns the size of fingertips emerged, exuding an atmosphere of delight.
The usually pale lips were painted in a humorous red with rouge, and Pei Yunshu couldn’t help but laugh at the sight. In his eyes, Pei Yunshu also saw his own appearance in a red robe.
He suppressed his laughter and said seriously, “Zhuyou, I will treat you well.”
Someone behind them chuckled, and the whole room burst into laughter.
Zhuyou’s cold gaze swept over the surrounding people, waiting until no one dared to laugh before turning to Pei Yunshu. He raised his hand and kissed his lips, saying, “My wife cares for me.”
Pei Yunshu’s face turned red, and he whispered a reminder, “Zhuyou, you called me the wrong title.”
Zhuyou quickly adapted and blinked, saying, “My husband cares for me.”
Bai Lige coughed a couple of times in front. Today, Hua Yue, dressed exceptionally beautifully, urged them to quickly come and pay their respects.
Pei Yunshu and Zhuyou appeared calm on the surface, but those who knew them well understood that the two were nervous, following Hua Yue’s commands and doing whatever was instructed. Even Hua Yue’s originally somewhat melancholic mood turned into an opportunity for Zhuyou to boast about himself.
After the ceremony, Zhuyou horizontally lifted Pei Yunshu and, like a soaring figure, tried to pass through the crowd towards the bedroom.
Bai Lige smiled slightly and waved his hand gently, “Stop him.”
Over a dozen demons instantly transformed their shapes, following General Baili’s previous orders, and formed a formation. Smiling obsequiously, they greeted Zhuyou, “Your Majesty, it’s not that we don’t want you to go to the bridal chamber now, but General Baili said that if we don’t get you drunk, he’ll peel off a layer of our skin!”
Zhuyou sneered, “If you don’t move, I’ll strip your skins and flesh off!”
The demons looked at each other, and in the end, with no other choice, they looked towards Bai Lige. With a serious face, Bai Lige uttered nonsense, “Zhuyou, I’m doing this for your own good. Being so anxious breaks the rules. The happier you are, the more you need to drink. We’re all here to drink your wine, so if you want to go, go ahead, leave Yunshu behind, and Yunshu can drink with us.”
Pei Yunshu struggled to climb onto Zhuyou’s shoulders. His hair was disheveled, and he looked at Bai Lige earnestly, “I can drink.”
He was prepared.
Zhuyou turned around and looked at Bai Lige unexpectedly. Ultimately, he compromised with the person in his arms, gently releasing Pei Yunshu and half-embracing him. “I’ll drink, you don’t have to.”
Pei Yunshu frowned, “How can that be? Zhuyou, don’t underestimate me.”
Zhuyou fell silent. Could someone who could be intoxicated with just one sip of alcohol be serious about this?
“Drink, both of you,” Bailige grinned and handed two cups over, placing one in Pei Yunshu’s hand and the other in Zhuyou’s. “No need to be polite, there’s plenty of good wine.”
Pei Yunshu sniffed the drink in the cup and drank it in one go. Secretly, he transmitted the alcohol to his fingertips, remaining bright-eyed and fully awake.
Zhuyou, who was watching him closely, also took a casual sip. In the next moment, this dragon, resistant to a thousand cups, suddenly closed his eyes and slumped to the ground.
Zhuyou!” Pei Yunshu quickly caught him, held him in his arms, and, upon closer inspection, couldn’t believe it. He said in disbelief, “Are you drunk?”
Seeing Zhuyou fall, the demons breathed a collective sigh of relief. Bai Lige wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he happily said to Pei Yunshu, “Yunshu, we can only help you so much. This wine will make Zhuyou sleep soundly for several days. Take advantage of this opportunity.”
Pei Yunshu didn’t understand what he meant. “Take advantage of what opportunity?”
Bai Lige said solemnly while speaking nonsense, “Naturally, take advantage of the situation to do whatever you want. You can take charge of him now.”
Pei Yunshu took a while to grasp the meaning, and his face blushed suddenly. Taking Zhuyou with him, he hastily fled, and in a blink of an eye, they were back in the bedroom.
The laughter behind them gradually faded away. Pei Yunshu closed the door tightly, and, with a hint of worry, set up a barrier before placing Zhuyou on the bed, helping him with his clothes and shoes.
The words of Bai Lige echoed in his mind, “Who dares to lay a finger on this lustful dragon? Bai Li is just overthinking.”
While wiping Zhuyou’s face and hands with a towel, Pei Yunshu muttered to himself, “I’m not that lustful. Sleeping on the wedding night in the bridal chamber is the most comfortable.”
After taking care of Zhuyou and then himself, Pei Yunshu got into bed, wrapped in the blanket, and fell into a daze.
It was still daytime, with closed doors and windows, and the barrier tightly sealed the room. The quietness made Pei Yunshu a bit bored. After staring blankly for a while, he looked around for something to relieve his boredom and eventually turned his attention to Zhuyou’s body.
Slowly inching closer, Pei Yunshu pressed onto Zhuyou’s chest, playing with his eyelashes. Zhuyou was deeply intoxicated, showing no reaction.
Pei Yunshu, feeling sneaky, looked around and suddenly lifted his body to swiftly kiss Zhuyou’s lips.
The ridiculous rouge on Zhuyou’s face was wiped away, and his lips, thin and pale, had been passionately kissed by Pei Yunshu many times. Yet, this time, it felt different, with Zhuyou allowing it without any resistance.
Pei Yunshu moved closer, licking Zhuyou’s lips like a cat licking its food.
The nascent soul in his sea of consciousness commented, “Oh dear, it’s a good thing he’s asleep. If he knew what you were doing, you wouldn’t be able to get out of bed!”
Pei Yunshu blushed slightly, stopped his actions, and after a while, couldn’t resist lowering his head again, “I want to kiss.”
“You’ve been completely corrupted by him,” the elemental infant said. “By pampering him like this, he’ll become even more unreasonable. The book mentioned that if you pamper the madam too much, she’ll become willful and demand many things. By pampering him like this, he’ll become more excessive towards you.”
Pei Yunshu casually responded a few times, then tremblingly pried open his lips and teeth, exploring inside. The moment their tongues touched, a shiver ran through his entire body. Pei Yunshu hastily withdrew and, inadvertently glancing down, discovered that Zhuyou had actually responded.
That prominent thing was really eye-catching, standing tall and upright. Pei Yunshu, seemingly indifferent, deliberately brushed past it several times. His attention shifted away from Zhuyou’s lips.
In the end, he tentatively reached out and poked it. Surprisingly, that thing grew a bit larger and wiggled menacingly in his direction.
“Lustful dragon,” Pei Yunshu feigned disgust, “still acting like this while asleep.”
“But seeing you in such a pitiful state, I’ll spoil you just this once,” Pei Yunshu said sternly, “but I won’t let you get spoiled rotten.”
He extended his hand, beginning to practice his techniques on Zhuyou.
***
The character “囍” and red lanterns filled the entire Water Mirror. Inside the secret realm, Venerable Wuwang only opened his eyes for a moment before closing them again.
Beside him, a baby with a grim expression sneered, and from his immature voice came surprisingly mature words, “Your beloved is now married. Are you still trying to find my remnants in the secret realm?”
Venerable Wuwang responded indifferently, “I’ve come only to eradicate you.”
The baby glared at him, aghast, “Your lover has already married someone else, yet you’re going to kill me. Truly laughable for the number one righteous cultivator. You dare not even take another look, forced to watch as Pei Yunshu forms a Dao couple with someone else.”
Venerable Wuwang breathed evenly, unlike a living person.
The baby, observing his determination, suddenly tempted him, “I originally intended to possess your body, and it’s understandable if you want to kill me. But honestly, I’ve also set my eyes on that dragon body. If you let me go and secretly assist me, I can definitely possess the body of that dragon. By then, won’t Pei Yunshu be yours?”
“The flesh of this flood dragon is indeed robust, but it has become a dragon soul, which is a huge problem,” the tempting implications in the words grew stronger, “but if we have you, the Venerable Wuwang, then the two of us working together will surely succeed. I can manipulate dreams, and naturally, I can manipulate other things. For me, making Pei Yunshu fall in love with you is not impossible.”
Monsters are indeed monsters, and every word aimed at the desires deep in the heart of the Venerable Wuwang. “Venerable Wuwang, that’s Pei Yunshu.”
A sword aura slid past the baby’s neck, and the voice of the Venerable Wuwang was as cold as ice, “Shut up.”
His divine consciousness had already found the lingering remnants of this monster in the secret realm. The Venerable Wuwang stood up, dispersed the water mirror formed by the monster, and headed toward the direction of the scattered soul without being moved.
Pei Yunshu…
If you find joy in it, then let it be.
What I can do is perhaps to ensure a worry-free retreat, never appearing in front of you again.
