The Leng Mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and Leng Yue seemed somewhat dazed.

"Sister Li, is this a wedding celebration?" Leng Yue asked naively.

Helpless, Aunt Li helped Leng Yue back to her room. "Yes, our young lady is getting married. How can it not be a joyous occasion?"

"I'm getting married?" Leng Yue's hands and feet slipped, and she would have fallen if Li Sao hadn't caught her.

Aunt Li, supporting Leng Yue, said, "Yes, you're getting married. You don't need to be so agitated. Luckily, I caught you, or you would have gotten hurt again."

Leng Yue previously said that she only injured her hand, not her leg, so she didn't need help. Turns out, she was proven wrong so quickly.

Leng Yue blushed slightly. Earlier, when Aunt Li offered to help her, she had complained that the other woman was making a fuss over nothing. "I just... forgot, didn't I?"

"Yes, yes, you've forgotten about your own marriage, haven't you?" Aunt Li thought Leng Yue hadn't forgotten the man she eloped with before. "Miss, take my advice. From now on, live a stable life with the young marshal. No matter what others say about him, he is the one you are going to marry."

"What will He Wan... what will my father say?" Even if Leng Yue didn't want to elope again, she still didn't want to be with a strange man.

"She'd love to! Now that you're back, the master certainly won't give the young marshal to her." Aunt Li said with a look of disdain. "Miss, don't be foolish. The young marshal was chosen for you when you were a child. You can't just give him away to someone else."

"You and the young marshal are a perfect match, it has nothing to do with Miss He. If she hadn't interfered, she would still be just an ordinary servant. Now she has transformed into the adopted daughter of the Leng family, what more does she want?" Aunt Li had no kind words for He Wan.

"Aunt Li, let me think about it. You can go now, I want to be alone." Leng Yue returned to her room and closed the door. Aunt Li hesitated, then watched Leng Yue close the door and could only turn and leave.

Zero saw it in the space and asked softly, "Yueyue?"

Leng Yue forced a smile. "Ling, I'm sorry, I don't want to talk. I want to be alone."

In the previous world, wherever Qi Qianchen was, they would definitely be together. Now, suddenly, she's not marrying Qianchen anymore, and Leng Yue feels strange.

After a long silence, Leng Yue finally said to Ling, "I'm not worried about this wedding, I miss Qian Chen."

“I know,” Ling nodded. “I trust Yueyue. With your abilities, there’s no need to worry about that young marshal.”

"Zero, in the last world, Qian Chen should have been the last one to appear. However, he had a red mole between his eyebrows, which bothered me." Leng Yue hadn't mentioned it before because she didn't know how to bring it up. Adding to that, she'd forgotten about Xiao Mei.

"I don't know either." Zero shook her head. "Our previous communication talisman is gone too. I don't know why this happened."

"Never mind, we'll find out sooner or later, won't we?" Leng Yue took a deep breath.

"What about the wedding?" Zero was still quite curious. Would Leng Yue follow the script, or elope again?

“If I leave, He Wan will definitely benefit,” Leng Yue shook her head. “I don’t want to, so I’ll just take it one step at a time and leave a substitute when the time comes.”

"The Stand isn't the highest level, you need to be careful," Zero warned.

"Don't worry, I know everything." Leng Yue smiled. "Don't worry, that young marshal is very difficult to talk to. I heard that no matter what my father says, he doesn't want to hold the wedding here. So this time they came from Yunnan and Guizhou just to pick up the bride. The formal wedding will definitely have to be held in Yunnan and Guizhou."

“There are thousands of kilometers in between. Even by car, it would take quite a while to get there in this day and age,” Leng Yue knew perfectly well. “I have plenty of time to deal with them. I will leave a substitute behind and leave at the right time.”

"I'm relieved to see you like this." Ling nodded. "Yueyue, please don't get emotional."

"I know, don't worry, I'm not a child." Leng Yue sighed helplessly.

"Hey, Yueyue, if they've come to pick up the bride, are they already in Heyuan?" Ling suddenly shouted.

Leng Yue hesitated for a moment, "I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. Logically speaking, they should have arrived by now. Shouldn't they have a large entourage? How come we haven't received any news?"

"Let me see," Ling said eagerly. Leng Yue was going to marry a stranger this time, and she was really curious!

"No need, whether we look or not, we'll know tomorrow morning anyway," Leng Yue said, showing little interest.

“If you won’t look, I will,” Zero said and ran off.

After a long time, Zero returned. "Didn't find anything? Forget about the army, I didn't even see a single soldier from Yunnan or Guizhou!"

"They're probably still on their way. After all, transportation in this era is so inconvenient." Leng Yue had a deep understanding of the transportation of this era. "The means of transportation are bad, and the road conditions are bad. I wonder how long it will take to get there? But that's fine too. It would be best if they could break off the engagement, and then I can just honestly inherit the family business."

"You're dreaming, aren't you?" Zero's lips twitched. "Your old man is still young. When are you going to inherit the family business?"

"I was just saying, I don't really want to inherit it. If I could just be a freeloader forever, who would want to put in the effort?" Leng Yue said, yawning as she spoke. "I'm not talking anymore, I have to get up early tomorrow, time to sleep."

Zero sighed again, "Yueyue, shouldn't you start cultivating?"

“Cultivation? No way!” Leng Yue waved her hand. “I have things to do tomorrow, I need to conserve my energy!”

Ling glanced at Leng Yue and felt that she was becoming more and more like an old woman. However, she felt uncomfortable if she didn't say anything. "Yueyue, I think you seem to be relying on the Strength Potion a little too much."

"No, I just think it's pretty useful..." Leng Yue said, seemingly realizing it herself.

“It works well, but as you use it more often, its effectiveness will gradually decrease.” Ling watched Leng Yue sit up from the bed. “Yueyue, these external things are ultimately just external things. They can help you for a while, but they can’t help you forever.”

“Zero, you didn’t say that before.” Leng Yue tried to find an excuse for herself.

"It's not too late to say it now, you should hurry up and start cultivating." Ling knew what Leng Yue meant, but he didn't want to argue with her.

Leng Yue had long understood that even the best things have their side effects. She had simply chosen to selectively forget before, deliberately finding an excuse for her laziness!

"Zero, I'm sorry, I already knew even if you hadn't said anything." Leng Yue finally chose to admit her mistake.

Ling shook her head. "Yueyue, it's okay. I just hope you get stronger and stronger."

Zero didn't say it, but ever since Xiao Mei became an orphan, his sense of crisis had grown stronger. Before, he was worried about Leng Yue, but now he was starting to worry about himself. These systems, like people, couldn't stay in their comfort zones for too long, or something bad would happen.

Leng Yue's practice of Taoist arts was inconsistent, sometimes sporadic and sometimes ineffective. However, the effects were noticeable after each session. For example, her tendency to be irritable and prone to mood swings improved.

However, she was too lazy, so she always liked to make excuses. Even after receiving benefits, she would still find excuses. After Leng Yue realized this, she couldn't help but despise herself. How had she become such an insatiable person?
