Wedding Night

"Yanxi, let me tell you, a man has to be capable to get a wife. I'm going to test this old man's abilities. He's shameless. How old are you? How old is he? It's like an old cow eating young grass."

While looking behind him, Yan Jue muttered to himself as he spoke to Ma Linghua.

Ma Linghua: "…………………………"

That old rascal is wicked!

"Master, he said he'd give you five longevity pills as a dowry, that's all. He's asking if you're still going to run away?"

"Hmm! Five... Huh? How many did you just say?" Yan Jue thought he had misheard and quickly asked again.

Five!

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go back."

Ma Linghua: "………………………"

As he spoke, he pulled Ma Linghua back the way they came. Li Changyun stood on the stone steps, looking at Yan Jue, who was smiling like a chrysanthemum, with a smile in his eyes.

"Oh dear! Grandson-in-law... no... I mean, my grandson-in-law! What I did just now was an accident. I suddenly felt that my inner demons were still lingering, so I lost my mind a bit. You don't mind, do you?"

Seeing how shameless Yan Jue was, he twitched his lips. What the hell is this about being mentally unstable? He's about to ascend to immortality, what inner demons could he possibly have?

Are you kidding me?

However, for Linghua's sake, he endured it and decided to get married first.

"I understand."

Upon hearing this, Yan Jue smiled and rubbed his hands together. "Then... are you going to give me that Longevity Pill now or...?"

"Don't rush, I'll give you two first, and three more after we get married." He had to be careful, otherwise this shameless old man would cause trouble again.

"Well... alright then!" Yan Jue said awkwardly.

"Yanxi! Grandpa really can't bear to part with you. I raised you from infancy, changing your diapers and feeding you. That old bastard Li Changyun traded you away with five longevity pills. It's because Grandpa is incompetent! Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Ma Linghua asked.

"Otherwise, you'd be worth at least 10 Longevity Pills."

Ma Linghua: "…………………………"

Li Changyun: "…………………………"

She simply couldn't accept this great love from her grandfather; his skin was thicker than a lotus flower, she was truly impressed.

The wedding was a small and rushed affair. Li Changyun was afraid that Yan Jue would cause trouble again, so he held a hasty wedding, and only members of the Li family attended.

"Why does Big Brother want to get married?" Huo Ling looked at Li Changyun, who was dressed in red and was handsome and refined, with a somewhat dazed expression.

"Hey! Who knows! Maybe my brother just likes this style!"

Li Chang'an looked melancholy. His son had only been dead for a short time, and before the white silk ribbon could even be properly hung, his elder brother had already replaced it with red. He was extremely depressed.

Huo Ling's eyes were filled with bitter emotions. From childhood to adulthood, she had always admired, adored, and loved Li Changyun, but he seemed to have never had any desire.

Each time she went into seclusion, it would last for a thousand years. Moreover, she knew that the distance, strength, and status between the two sides were all unequal.

He is the Holy Son of the Li family, the eldest son, and the next patriarch. She is just a Holy Maiden of a small sect. If she hadn't used some means to cling to Li Chang'an, she would never have been able to marry into the Li family.

Seeing him beaming with happiness, his eyes filled with that woman, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her jealousy made her wish she could replace that woman.

"By the way, now that Fusheng is gone, you'd better hurry up and give birth to another one. Don't give birth to a good-for-nothing like Fusheng, otherwise... your time as the wife of the Li family patriarch will be over."

Li Chang'an gave her a cold look, his voice devoid of any emotion.

His brother is right. This woman isn't very capable, and her children don't seem very bright either. It seems he'll have to spread his love evenly among all his children for the sake of having better offspring.

Huo Ling froze, her face turning deathly pale. After all these years, the Li family still looked down on her status.

He gripped the hem of his clothes, a wave of fear and humiliation washing over him. He couldn't afford to be kicked out of the Li family; the consequences would be unbearable.

“Zhongguo, that woman has been staring at you. Did you do something to offend her?” Ma Linghua asked sharply.

"No, don't overthink it. She's just a scumbag. If she had married my cheap brother on her own merits, I wouldn't have said anything. But she has to resort to dirty tricks. This kind of woman is no good."

When he said that, Ma Linghua looked back again and saw that he was just average-looking, not as beautiful as her family's pear blossom. She immediately felt better.

Yan Jue drank his wine, his eyes filled with unyielding sorrow. His fiery red hair was particularly eye-catching, and his young face attracted the attention of many of the Li family's young ladies.

"Young master, is there anyone with you?"

Yan Jue looked up and saw a young girl. "Is there anyone who can't see? Are you blind?"

woman:"????"

"Miss, let's go! This person is so rude, it's best not to provoke him," the maid whispered.

As the two prepared to leave, Yan Jue finished the last sip of his drink and said in an icy voice, "Stop! Who are you calling rude?"

He stood up, teleported to the front of the master and servant, and the moment he reached out his hand, the girl was burned to ashes before she could even scream.

"ah………………"

The woman let out a scream.

No one around them came closer; it was a joke, the oppressive aura surrounding them was almost crushing their divine seas.

"Look, it's Li Shuzhen again. She always acts like a delicate flower and a weakling, but now she's met her match."

"Serves her right, she thinks she's as beautiful as an angel and goes around seducing men."

"That's bad, she probably won't make it."

Li Changyun frowned. Which junior member of the Li family was this?

But today is his wedding day, so let's not bring bad luck on him.

"Grandpa, calm down. It's such a joyous day for Yanxi and me. Can you please tone it down a bit?" he said through gritted teeth.

A hint of languor flashed in Yan Jue's cold red eyes before he sat back down, silently drinking his wine without even glancing at the woman.

Seduce him? Is his taste that bad? Back in the day, the female phoenix he found was one of the most powerful and beautiful women in the world. He's not blind.

Li Shuzhen, having narrowly escaped death, was trembling all over. When her servants finally helped her down, her face was deathly pale.

The day was alright, just this one incident. But by nightfall, the two were like dry wood meeting a raging fire. Forget about being shy, they just pulled down the bed curtains and got down to business.

(Let your imagination run wild! Writing anything will land you in the dark.)

Li Changyun placed layer upon layer of barriers, but Yan Jue shamelessly broke through them one after another.

"Wow! You old geezer, this barrier is really thick! Why did you put up so many?" He was speechless; they were keeping an eye on him!

Li Changyun knew his character perfectly well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to manipulate him and let him bring Linghua back on his own.
