Chapter 704 River God 11

The next morning, the group had breakfast at the inn, bought a lot of dry food, and then set off together.

Ning Yan's luxurious carriage was very well prepared; she had brought cooking utensils, food, and seasonings before coming.

On their way back, they weren't in a hurry; they really took the time to enjoy themselves along the way.

He Wei is good at hunting and fishing, and Ning Yan is especially good at praising people. Every time He Wei brings something back, she will praise him to the point of confusion, making He Wei happy all day long. He will personally cook, make soup, roast meat and fish... In short, she will not let Ning Yan do anything.

The two maids and the coachman exclaimed in unison: "Madam truly knows how to manage her husband."

She doesn't have to do anything, just use her mouth to charm the master. Madam is amazing!

The carriage traveled at a stop-and-go pace, and it took nearly two months to finally return to the small county town.

By this time, the manor had been renovated, and He Wei took Ning Yan directly to the manor to play in the water.

Ning Yan had a blast.

More than two months later, Ning Yan finally came of age, and the two got married on June 18.

The wedding was a grand affair, with all the prominent figures in the county invited, and the banquet had eighteen tables.

In order to obtain a suitable identity, He Wei has spent nearly a year buying property in the county and making some friends; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to set up so many tables.

After the wedding ceremony, Ning Yan was led to the bridal chamber, and He Wei returned to the main courtyard after toasting the guests.

When He Wei lifted the bride's red veil, he was momentarily mesmerized.

"Yanyan, you look so beautiful today."

Ning Yan said, "Cousin, please take off the hair crown on my head. It's about to break my neck."

He Wei quickly helped Ning Yan remove her hair crown. After finishing her hair, Ning Yan took off her outer clothes and prepared to wash up.

He Wei stared in disbelief, “Yan Yan, why are your clothes so short of fabric?”

Ning Yan glanced at her underwear, then smiled smugly at the man, "Tell me, does it look good or not?"

"Beautiful!" He felt a surge of heat throughout his body from how beautiful it was!

He pulled her into his arms and was about to examine the strange clothes when Ning Yan stopped him, saying, "I'm going to take a shower. Don't do anything."

"Okay, okay, let's take a shower first."

The next second, Ning Yan was picked up by his waist and strode towards the bathroom.

Having interned for several months, He Wei was now quite skilled and easily swayed. Ning Yan was carried back to bed in less than fifteen minutes.

The rain finally stopped around 4 a.m.

The sound of calling for water came from the main room for the fifth time.

...

Since He Wei had no elders or relatives, the two of them naturally didn't need to get up early. Ning Yan was held in the man's arms and slept soundly.

When I opened my eyes again, it was still dark.

No, it's just that it's gotten dark again.

"Yanyan, wake up, eat your food before you go back to sleep, okay?"

Ning Yan rolled over in the man's arms. "Give me a massage, my back is so sore."

A pair of large, well-defined hands covered her waist, gently massaging it with their fingertips, which were surprisingly hot.

Something stuck to her from behind.

Ning Yan quickly moved away from the heat source, saying, "No need to press anymore, I'm hungry, let's eat first."

I grabbed the nightgown that had been tossed next to my pillow and quickly put it on.

This man is too quick to learn, and he's also... well, you know. They did it right after they finished, and they barely got any rest all night. She didn't want to be so easily seduced by a man on their wedding night that she wouldn't be able to get out of bed for days.

The person behind him sighed, looked down, and said, "I'll just have to make do with this for now."

The two got out of bed, and the servants immediately brought in more than a dozen exquisite dishes.

"Drink this medicinal soup first." It's nourishing, and it's a recipe he personally prepared; it's definitely very beneficial.

He Wei was just an ordinary doctor a thousand years ago. That year, the south suffered a severe drought, famine was rampant, and a plague swept across the country, infecting seven or eight out of ten people. He single-handedly developed a prescription to cure the plague, but he himself died early because he had exhausted too much energy and there was no cure.

Those who were saved were grateful for his kindness and erected a longevity tablet for him, burning incense and worshipping him every day. This matter reached the Heavenly Court, and because of his merit in saving the world, the Heavenly Emperor personally appointed him as the River God.

For thousands of years, he has been guarding this place, fulfilling his duties as the river god. His hatred for the red demon stems from his hatred of evil and his "meddling in other people's business".

Yes, in the eyes of other immortals, he was just meddling in other people's business. Just like when he went deep into the epidemic area to study the epidemic in order to save people, he was also called "foolish".

But those people could never have imagined that he would one day become a river god and meet such a lovely wife.

Suddenly, I felt that everything I had done before was worth it.

Ning Yan smelled the medicinal soup and found that it was indeed beneficial to her health, so she obediently drank it.

He Wei was pleased to see how obedient she was, so he picked up a piece of braised meat and put it in her bowl. "Eat more, so you can grow taller but not gain weight."

In the past year or so, Ning Yan has grown at least seven or eight centimeters, but she hasn't gained much weight and does look a bit thinner.

Ning Yan glanced at him and silently ate the meat. What could she do if she didn't gain weight?

After dinner, the two took a stroll in the yard to digest their food. The tall man held the petite woman's hand, and they were very close. He could smell her fragrance, and she could feel his very faint breath. He Wei felt that the moonlight was exceptionally beautiful tonight.

"Yanyan, if... if we can't have children, will you have any regrets?"

Normal women would want to have their own children, but he is an immortal, while Yan Yan is a mortal. It would be difficult for her to give birth to her own child, let alone in just a few decades, or even in a thousand or ten thousand years.

Ning Yan shook her head, "No way."

It's just a child. She can have it if she wants, or not if she doesn't. What's there to regret?

He Wei's eyes lit up: "Yan Yan, are you serious?"

"Of course, it's fine to have children, but it's also fine not to have them. Don't you want children? If you don't want them, then we won't have any."

He Wei hurriedly said, "Of course I want to, but having a child depends on fate. If he comes, I will give him the best. If not... I will just say that I am not destined to have a child."

Ning Yan thought to herself: Don't worry, you'll definitely have a baby, but not now. She hasn't had enough fun yet.

The night wind rustled, lifting the hem of her red skirt. He Wei's heart stirred, and he swept her up in his arms and strode back.

If he tries harder, maybe the baby will come.

"Husband, weren't we going for a walk to digest our food?"

"Yanyan, you're asking a question you already know the answer to."

Ning Yan laughed, but the laughter vanished just as quickly.
