Male Lead: Feng Jin. Female Lead: Shen Yuepo.
During...
Chapter 268 Let's go, we're going out to deliver wedding candy and cakes.
On the viewing platform, Feng Jin and Shen Yuepo, following ancient rituals, raised their crimson gold dragon and phoenix wine cups filled with the finest Netherworld wine, and paid their respects to the guests from all directions.
Below the stage, countless immortals, ghosts, gods, and humans raised their glasses. In an instant, the fine wine reflected the starlight, and blessings resounded throughout the netherworld.
The ceremony concluded, and the joyous banquet was in full swing.
Shen Yuepo handed the bouquet that Feng Jin had given her to Meng Guichen.
Feng Jin then walked straight to the Eastern Peak Emperor, who was speaking with several Ghost Emperors at the main guest seat.
When the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak saw him approaching, he raised his cup to offer a toast, but Feng Jin whispered, "The place is yours now."
“…”
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak paused in mid-air, a rare look of astonishment appearing on his majestic face:
"On this joyous day, when the wedding night is worth a fortune, why aren't you in the bridal chamber? Where are you going?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Jin's lips curled slightly, and a hint of gentleness, barely perceptible to others, flashed across his dark golden eyes as he uttered two words: "Watching the snow."
The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak: "..."
He's really getting old; he can't understand Feng Jin's thoughts anymore.
The clamor of the underworld and the starlight were instantly left behind.
As the laws of space fluctuated, Feng Jin appeared at his home in the mortal capital with Chen Yue Po.
Outside the window, night had fallen.
Under the pitch-black night sky, snowflakes fell silently, covering the city's neon lights and hustle and bustle, creating a tranquil, silvery-white world.
"Fengjin, it really snowed." Shen Yuepo took off her elaborate phoenix coronet and wedding robes, and put on a red woolen coat from the mortal realm. Her long hair was loosely tied up, with a few strands falling down her cheeks.
She walked to the French windows, her fingertips lightly touching the cold glass, watching the snowflakes drifting outside.
Feng Jin approached from behind, his arms naturally encircling her waist, and his chin gently resting on the top of her head.
"Hmm," he responded, his gaze falling on the unfamiliar yet fascinating scene outside the window. "Want to go out?"
Shen Yuepo shook her head, turned around and got out of his arms, her eyes curving upwards.
With a slight thought, she took out a stack of cut-out red "囍" characters and several bags full of beautifully packaged wedding candies and cakes from her Reincarnation Ring.
This was prepared for her by Niu Tou.
She had Feng Jin carefully and neatly paste the largest "囍" character on the apartment door.
Then, she picked up the wedding candies and cakes, turned around, took Feng Jin's hand, intertwined their fingers, and smiled up at him:
"Let's go out and deliver wedding candies and cakes."
Feng Jin looked down at the joyful light in her eyes, and a soft spot in his heart was gently touched.
He gripped her hand tightly in return and nodded: "Okay."
The first stop was Zhao Yan, the captain of the Special Case Bureau.
He was working overtime at the Special Cases Bureau when he received Shen Yuepo's call.
Upon seeing the two people dressed in red and carrying a wedding bag, he was visibly taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on, and a hearty smile spread across his face:
"Oh my! Congratulations! Master Shen, Mr. Feng! This is truly a joyous occasion! I never imagined I would be able to eat such wedding cakes and share in such a divine blessing! Haha!"
He took the heavy wedding bag from Shen Yuepo.
"Now those guys in the bureau are so envious," Zhao Yan laughed, then added, half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"Master Shen, if the bureau encounters any tricky or strange cases in the future, you can't shirk your responsibility! Our relationship is so close, we've already exchanged wedding favors!"
Shen Yuepo smiled and replied, "Of course."
After saying that, she took out another exquisitely made but slightly marked wedding bag. "Please have Officer Zhao pass this on to Team Leader Wu Feng. Thank you for your care in Heifeng'ao."
"Definitely! Don't worry, I guarantee it will be delivered!" Zhao Yan patted his chest, looking at the perfect couple before him, and sincerely exclaimed, "They're so good together, truly a perfect match!"
Before leaving, he also gave Shen Yuepo and Feng Jin a large red envelope.
Next stop: the Xiao family.
The doorbell rang, and soon the door was opened a crack, revealing a small head with a bun hairstyle and round, bright eyes.
She was a woman in her early twenties, with delicate features and clear, curious eyes.
Her gaze first fell on Shen Yuepo's face, and her eyes widened instantly. She blurted out, "Wow! So beautiful!"
Then, upon seeing Feng Jin beside her, her eyes widened even more. "So handsome! My god, Master wasn't lying to me! People from down the mountain are indeed good-looking!"
The voice was clear and crisp, carrying a sense of naivety and wonder.
At this moment, Xiao Yizhou and Zhou Wanqing, who had heard the commotion, also came to the door.
Xiao Yizhou paused slightly when he saw Shen Yuepo and Feng Jin standing outside the door. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it quickly turned into blessing.
Zhou Wanqing's face was full of surprise.
"Moon Soul? Mr. Feng?" Xiao Yizhou spoke, his tone calm and smiling, "What's going on here..."
Shen Yuepo held up the wedding bag in her hand with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, it's your wedding day, I'm here to give you wedding candies and cakes."
"Oh! Come in, come in! It's cold outside, and it's snowing!" Zhou Wanqing hurriedly welcomed them in, her gaze sweeping over the two of them with satisfaction and admiration.
"How wonderful! Moon Soul, you look so beautiful today! Mr. Feng is also a handsome man. You two look so well-matched!"
Xiao Yizhou introduced the two parties, pointing to the woman who opened the door, and said to Shen Yuepo and Feng Jin:
"Moon Soul, Mr. Feng, let me introduce you. This is Yun Shu, a disciple of an old friend of my maternal grandfather. She has been cultivating in seclusion on the mountain since childhood and has only recently come down from the mountain to visit the capital. She is staying here temporarily."
"Yun Shu, this is Master Shen, Shen Yuepo, and this is Mr. Feng."
Upon hearing this, the girl named Yun Shu's eyes lit up dramatically. She jumped up from the sofa, her finger trembling slightly as she pointed at Chen Yuepo and Feng Jin, her voice rising with excitement:
"You...you guys! I knew it! Why were their auras so...so special! The Emperor and Empress of Fengdu, right?! So what Brother Horse-Face said in the group was true! I was going too! But..."
As she finished speaking, her voice suddenly lowered, a blush rose to her cheeks, and she stole a glance at Xiao Yizhou, whose expression was gentle, with a hint of annoyance:
"But... I can't bear to part with President Xiao..." Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
Shen Yuepo instantly understood; it seemed that this lively and clever young fellow Daoist had developed feelings for Xiao Yizhou.
The group sat down and chatted for a while, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
As he took his leave, Shen Yuepo used the opportunity of saying goodbye to Zhou Wanqing to whisper in her ear, making sure she could hear it only because she was so close:
“Madam Xiao, this woman is pure in spirit and simple in heart. Her destiny is compatible with Mr. Xiao's, and she is his destined match.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wanqing's body trembled slightly, and then her eyes shone with bright surprise.
She squeezed Shen Yuepo's hand tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Thank you, Yuepo! Thank you so much! Please come over for dinner sometime!"
"Definitely." Shen Yuepo nodded with a smile, and took his leave hand in hand with Feng Jin.
When Shen Yuepo returned to her home in the capital, she received a text message: Xiao Yizhou had transferred 50 million yuan to her.
Immediately, a message popped up on WeChat: "Moon Spirit, this is our whole family's heartfelt wish for your marriage. Don't refuse, or my mom will pester you."
Shen Yuepo smiled and replied with a thank you.
