Chapter 997 Early Marriage

In a corner where the three of them couldn't see, Xiao Chujing was watching them quietly.

He heard every word that the senior brother and sister said, asking Ye Xiaoman to distance herself from him, but his face remained expressionless.

He also saw the eldest brother put his hand on Ye Xiaoman's shoulder.

Xiao Chujing felt that there were too many people in the world, and most of them deserved to die.

But when Ye Xiaoman found him, he still smiled and said, "It's okay, just have fun."

Ye Xiaoman glanced at him and asked, "Senior Brother Xiao, are you angry?"

Xiao Chujing said: "No."

"You still say no." Ye Xiaoman stretched out two fingers and poked his cheeks. "Your dimples are gone."

Junior sister is always very sensitive to his emotions.

"If I say I'm unhappy, will you choose to stay?"

"No." Ye Xiaoman walked away slowly, carrying the small package on her back. After a few steps, she turned around and looked at him with eyes as clear as autumn water. "Even if you are angry, you can't kill innocent people."

Xiao Chujing stood outside the mountain gate, watching Ye Xiaoman board the senior brother's flying boat and leave. White clouds were floating, a few egrets flew by, and people came and went around him. Life in the human world is always leisurely.

He did not return to the sect, but waited until the eldest brother's flying boat completely disappeared. Then he took out his flying boat, made an invisibility gesture, and followed them.

Xiao Chujing was thinking about longer-term plans.

In the past, he just wanted to get closer to Ye Xiaoman, but now he wants to go a step further. He hopes to become a Taoist partner with Ye Xiaoman.

This way there would be no criticism, and he could support Ye Xiaoman openly. He wouldn't care even if people outside thought Ye Xiaoman was lazy and unmotivated.

He would earn money to support the family and guide her in cultivation. Even if her aptitude was low, he would always find a way to help her ascend.

He really likes Ye Xiaoman to rely on him, and his dream is to become someone she can't live without.

There were also rumors outside that Ye Xiaoman took too many things from him, but what did they know? What he feared most was that Ye Xiaoman would no longer take anything from him.

When the eldest senior sister and brother took Ye Xiaoman on a mission, Xiao Chujing hid nearby and watched quietly.

Finally one day something happened.

Due to errors in the mission intelligence provided by the sect, the eldest sister and Ye Xiaoman mistakenly entered the lair of a monster that was far more powerful than them, and the three of them fled separately.

Xiao Chujing did not rescue his fellow disciples immediately. Instead, he chased Ye Xiaoman. When Ye Xiaoman was about to be attacked by a monster, he appeared and saved Ye Xiaoman.

"Senior Brother Xiao, go and save Senior Brother and Senior Sister."

It was the first time that Ye Xiaoman encountered such a horrible accident. In the past, everything went smoothly every time she and Xiao Chujing went out. Her face was a little blue and her body was swaying, but she still tried to remain calm and spoke to Xiao Chujing.

"Okay, you rest first." Xiao Chujing agreed immediately.

Ye Xiaoman nodded, fell into Xiao Chujing's arms, and passed out from exhaustion.

Xiao Chujing carried Ye Xiaoman on his back. The group of monsters behind him were running like crazy in the valley, chasing the panicked monks. Xiao Chujing had an indifferent expression and took Ye Xiaoman out of the valley without even looking back.

If Ye Xiaoman says to save someone, Xiao Chujing will do so, but when to save him depends on his mood.

Afterwards, the eldest sister and eldest brother luckily survived. The eldest sister was injured and had to lie down for a while. The eldest brother had his hand that had touched Ye Xiaoman severed. Although the limb was reattached later, he could not use it as freely as before.

The two were very depressed for a while and never mentioned the reason for the sudden failure of the mission. When Xiao Chujing appeared in front of them, they always showed fear.

From then on, no one in the sect dared to separate Ye Xiaoman from Xiao Chujing.

Ye Xiaoman could only follow Xiao Chujing to complete the mission.

Xiao Chujing was very satisfied with this.

He also told Ye Xiaoman that she could not trust anyone and could only rely on him.

"Brother Xiao, did you do anything?"

Ye Xiaoman sat on a chair, and Xiao Chujing knelt on one knee beside her, rubbing the juice of spiritual herbs on her knee joints to relieve the muscle soreness caused by sword practice.

Xiao Chujing smiled, held Ye Xiaoman's ankles and helped her move her knees. He fiddled with her limbs like a puppet. His movements seemed as if he would break her hands and feet if she didn't obey and tie her to his side forever.

He looked at her frightened expression and soothed her, "Junior Sister, I just don't like others disturbing us."

Ye Xiaoman sighed: "Brother Xiao, although you didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, it is wrong to hurt innocent people indiscriminately."

"I'll listen to Junior Sister in everything." Xiao Chujing smiled again and added, "As long as they don't mess with me first."

At this time, Xiao Chujing had already developed a single-line spiritual root by chance. He took out a marrow-cleansing grass like offering a treasure.

"Junior sister, look."

As Xiao Chujing expected, Ye Xiaoman immediately forgot about the other irrelevant people.

She really wanted to get the marrow cleansing grass, but she was worried that she could not pay the price Xiao Chujing asked for.

"Don't be afraid, I just want to be your true Taoist partner."

Xiao Chujing bit the tip of Ye Xiaoman's ear. He tried his best to seduce his unromantic junior sister.

“Pretty much the same thing we did before.”

“…only this time I’ll go a little deeper.”

After taking every step carefully, Xiao Chujing finally got Ye Xiaoman into his hands.

Xiao Chujing and Ye Xiaoman held a Taoist couple bonding ceremony in Qingzhengzong, held a grand banquet, and celebrated for three days and three nights. When Xiao Chujing took Ye Xiaoman into the bridal chamber, he was struck by great joy for the first time, and he felt as light as if he was walking on clouds.

The junior sister was deeply shocked for some reason. She lay on the bed sheet with her phoenix crown draped over her head and cried like a tearful person.

Xiao Chujing helped Ye Xiaoman up with amusement. The honest little sister broke down and cried for the first time: "I don't know why I am so sad. I always feel that this shouldn't be the case."

The harder she cried, the happier Xiao Chujing laughed.

In this way, the junior sister became Xiao Chujing's wife without knowing it.

There is a wedding ceremony spirit stone at the Wuyou Ferry outside the Six Realms. The spirit stone is said to be the incarnation of the Yue Lao God. If the newlyweds worship the spirit stone, they can leave their names on the marriage stone for generations to come. Xiao Chujing took Ye Xiaoman to the spirit stone to register.

After paying 99 spirit stones, he received a marriage contract. Xiao Chujing looked at the two people's names listed next to each other on the marriage certificate and smiled happily.

"Next, we will travel around the world. I will find the rest of the marrow cleansing grass for my junior sister."

Ye Xiaoman had a dazed expression, still deeply immersed in the sad news that she had gotten married.

Xiao Chujing happily planned his route with a map in hand. Finally, he said, "Let's go to the Divine Realm as our first stop."

"The Crown Prince and the Holy Son of the Divine Realm each hold a marrow cleansing grass."

They traveled together in the Divine Realm for several months. One day, Xiao Chujing blindfolded Ye Xiaoman, took her to a small courtyard, and said he wanted to give her a surprise.
