It was early morning, just as dawn was breaking.

A golden sunrise shone over the sea, illuminating their bedside.

The courtyard was filled with the spiritual light of the mountain, which had already taken root at its base, as if it had found something. The spiritual roots continued to grow, connecting with the dead spiritual veins underground.

Neither of them knew anything about this.

The spirit fish in the pond kept leaping, and the dozen or so spirit fish had grown quite a bit larger.

Ji Yun gently touched Yuexi's cheek. "Get up, we're going to get our marriage certificate and then take some wedding photos."

Yuexi opened her eyes, her gaze still somewhat sleepy, clearly having simply slept without cultivating: "Is there enough time? I still need to pick up Xiao Huo."

"We got the marriage certificate quickly, and the wedding photos have already been arranged. Once the money is received, they can be delivered to our door tonight."

Ji Yun got up, changed her clothes, and prepared to leave.

The two flew over directly, landed in a deserted spot in an instant, and even blocked the cameras.

When they arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Ji Yun took Yue Xi's hand, ready to go inside. Suddenly, he couldn't pull her any further. He turned to look at her, noticing her hesitant and seemingly wanting to say something, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Could we postpone the wedding a little longer, until Master Zuo and Senior Sister ascend to immortality? That way, they can know too..."

Yuexi spoke softly, then lowered her head. She knew that backing down at this point would be inappropriate.

Ji Yun said, "Are you scared?"

"I..." Yuexi felt a little flustered. She didn't know why, but the thought of getting married made her very anxious.

Then Ji Yun pulled her aside, hugged her, and whispered to comfort her, "You have pre-wedding anxiety. Trust me, it'll be alright."

"Pre-wedding anxiety?" Yuexi clearly didn't understand what that meant.

Ji Yun explained, "It's the anxiety about the unknown, the uncertainty about the future, especially those hidden dangers and conflicts that may affect the relationship and cause it to break down. You're afraid that everything will change after marriage, and you're afraid that getting married too quickly will create a contrast with your current mindset."

Believe me, things have definitely changed. The change is that we've become closer. We've gone from ordinary friends to family, to soulmates. I will love and cherish you even more.

Yuexi felt a little more at ease, but still said, "We should start as ordinary friends, then become good friends, and finally get married. We haven't even become good friends yet, and we're getting married already. Won't it cause problems if we jump this fast?"

Ji Yun gently patted Yue Xi's back and said, "There won't be any problems. Ordinary friends can get married first."

Then we can slowly cultivate our feelings. Look at your world, in the mortal realm, marriages are all arranged by parents and matchmakers. Men and women might not even have met before getting married, but they still live happily ever after. We are so much better off than them. We've been together for so long, and even when we're apart, I always think of you.

"You're not planning to trick me into getting married first, are you? After we get married, you'll start to change, bully me at will, and ignore me."

Although Yuexi trusted Ji Yun, she still wanted to hear some things from him.

Ji Yun immediately replied, "No, how could I lie to you? As for bullying you, that's even more impossible. I promise you! If I ever make you sad and cry, you can take the 'Calamity Sword' and slash me, and I promise I won't fight back."

"Really?" Yuexi asked, looking into his eyes.

"Really, we still have a long way to go, and we'll always have to come to this point. If you run away now, what about next time?"

Ji Yun's eyes were firm as she spoke softly, unaware that she was already drenched in sweat.

"But it's still a bit too fast. How about we become good friends first... um... there are too many people here... don't kiss..."

The two kissed in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau. The streets were mostly deserted in the morning, with only a few middle-aged women watching with smiles. "These young people nowadays," they thought, "tsk tsk..."

After Ji Yun let go, he looked at her rosy lips and said softly, "We've kissed, and we touched each other last night. We're just one step away from getting married. You really don't want to get married?"

Yuexi was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She grabbed his hand and pulled him inside. "Fine, let's get married. Who's afraid of who? If you dare to bully me, you're dead. Xiao Huo and I will beat you to death."

Go in, sign, and get your documents stamped.

Since it was the first time for both of them to get their marriage certificate, they were extremely nervous, and Ji Yun even helped them with their household registration booklet.

When they came out, each of them was holding a red booklet.

After Ji Yun came out, the corners of his mouth kept turning up and he didn't stop. He laughed and said, "Call me husband and let me hear it."

"Hmm?" Yuexi feigned confusion.

"We are now husband and wife, and we can call each other husband and wife."

Yuexi muttered, "I know, but... it feels so awkward, I can't bring myself to call out."

"Alright, no pressure. We'll talk about it later. Let me check if the author has replied to me yet."

Ji Yun took out his phone. He had left a message for the author last night, and he didn't know if the author would accept the invitation.

I clicked on it and took a look.

"My wife Yuexi: Dear author, after reading your last novel, I found a wonderful woman. We are getting married the day after tomorrow and would like to invite you to the wedding. I will cover all your airfare and travel expenses."

I received a reply today.

"Pouring My Dreams: First of all, thank you to our top reader for getting married. I'm very touched. I never thought that writing a novel could influence a couple. But I really can't get away from this, and I'm really sorry. I've gained a lot of readers recently, and I'm more excited than ever. They've asked for over a thousand updates, and I need to update 10,000 times a day to repay their support. So, I wish you a happy marriage! Please don't blame me for not going. I'll add an extra chapter later and thank you again at the end of the chapter."

"May you have a son soon!"

"My wife, Yuexi: Okay, I also wish the author's new book great success, a long and prosperous journey, and that you will soon achieve godhood. I will always support you!"

Then he showed the message to Yuexi, "Since the author can't come, let's go take wedding photos..."

He suddenly slapped his forehead and said excitedly, "We can buy a camera and go to the heavens to take pictures. The scenery there is even better. Let's go to the wedding photo studio."

The photo studio they had booked was not far away. As soon as Ji Yun went in, the photographer rushed over and politely asked, "Mr. Ji, are you ready to have your photo taken?"

Ji Yun waved his hand and said, "We're not filming anymore. Can you lend us your camera? We'll film it ourselves and then produce it for you."

"Huh?" The cameraman opened his mouth, having never heard such an outrageous request before, and said somewhat awkwardly, "But..."

Ji Yun: "Fifty thousand!"

Cameraman: "......"

"We guarantee compensation for any equipment damage. Please pay a deposit first. If possible, print out an agreement and sign it immediately."

"Sure!" the cameraman immediately agreed.

The assistant next to him was stunned by his generosity.
