The ring style is extremely simple, yet full of beauty.
Shen Yizhi looked at the ring on her hand. Was it a bit too fantastical? She touched it and found that the ring was real.
Xuan Ting was tickled by her blank expression. He grabbed her hand and kissed her fingers. "This is a knot made by birth. No one else can see it except us."
"Hmm." Shen Yizhi looked at his hand wearing the ring, and he still felt a little unreal.
How come she was tied up when she wasn't married yet? This knot was really tricky, she didn't choose any other finger, but the index finger.
"Zhizhi, since the covenant has been signed, why don't we do another thing today as well."
"Another thing?"
"We will become Taoist companions."
Dao couple? Isn't that a marriage between monks? It's ok for him to propose, but he didn't prepare anything? Shen Yizhi shook off his hand, leaned on the railing, and communicated with Yichang in his mind: "Tell me quickly, what are the procedures for monks to become Dao couples."
Yichang: "Hmm? Become a Taoist couple? Actually, the process of getting married to a mortal is similar, but it is more grand and complicated. The most important step is to swear a heart demon oath in front of everyone watching the ceremony... Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Shen Yizhi didn't answer and cut off the connection.
Yichang: “???”
After pondering for a while, he suddenly jumped up. Shen Yizhi was probably going to become a Taoist partner with someone, right? !
Taoist couples are not formed casually! Shen Yizhi glared at the person in front of him, "Where is the betrothal gift? You don't want to just marry me home like this, do you?"
If that's the case, then she has to consider whether or not to find a new father for Qingbao and the others, hehe.
Xuan Ting put his hands on the railing, trapped her between his arms, and put his forehead against hers: "Did you see it?"
Shen Yizhi was about to ask what she saw, but the next moment, her consciousness was pulled into a vast space.
She stood in the air above the space, looking down at everything below. Xuan Ting stood beside her, interlocking their fingers.
"here it is?"
"My companion space, I call it Chaos." Xuan Ting looked at her: "Everything here is the betrothal gift I prepared for you, are you satisfied?"
Shen Yizhi was shocked when he saw the mountain of supplies piled up below. He was speechless for a moment.
"I'll take you down there to have a look." Xuan Ting pulled her, took a step forward, and they arrived at the ground inadvertently.
He took her on a tour around the place and introduced everything to her one by one.
"I hunted this Gu Diao the year I first arrived in the northern border." In the monster area, Xuan Ting pointed at a complete and huge monster.
The Gu Diao looks like an eagle, but is dozens of times larger than an eagle. It has a sharp dark gold beak and two black spiral horns on its head. Its entire body is dark black.
Its body was fixed on a bracket, its wings were spread out, its head was held high, and its eyes were open. At first glance, Shen Yizhi thought it was alive and was shocked.
"The Gu Diao is cunning. It will hide in the water and make baby-like sounds to lure people in, then swallow them whole."
"This is a snowman from the Angry Snow Sea. He is very good at hiding. Even if he hides in the snow and doesn't move for several months, nothing will happen to him."
Xuan Ting led Shen Yizhi to the second strange beast.
The snowman was covered with long, snow-white hair, like snow satin. He squatted on the ground, a bit like an gorilla, with long nails on his claws that looked very sharp.
Xuan Ting's next words confirmed her guess: "Its claws are its sharp weapons. It can rip open the belly of a warrior in armor with its bare hands."
"Then how did you kill it?" Shen Yizhi asked.
…
After seeing various types of strange beasts, Xuan Ting took her to the mining area.
The extremely precious minerals outside are piled up like mountains here.
Next is the treasure area, the weapons area...
After looking at them one by one, Shen Yizi had only one feeling: Gu Xueting was too generous!
And now, he wanted to give all of them to her as a betrothal gift.
If he dared to give it to her, she...of course dared to accept it! However, she could see that many of the things inside, especially those exotic animals and weapons that had been made into specimens, were his favorites.
It is a medal that symbolizes his honor!
How could she take it? Besides, she didn't need it.
"I have too many things. I'd better leave them with you for now. When I need them, I'll come to you for them."
Xuan Ting's focus was, "Did Zhizhi agree to be my Taoist partner?"
Shen Yizhi: “…”
Damn, I accidentally fell into the sweet trap he set.
Is it too late for her to be reserved now?
Xuan Ting told her with his actions that it was too late!
After regaining consciousness, Xuan Ting pulled her to kowtow towards the night sky, and then took out a gourd cup.
Pao means gourd, which is homophonic to "福". In ancient rituals, the newlyweds would drink together from a gourd cup on their wedding night. Because gourds are bitter and cannot be eaten, this action means that the couple will share joys and sorrows in the future.
Xuan Ting and Shen Yizhi put their hands together and moved closer to the gourd cup at the same time.
The clear and crystal wine reflects the stars in the sky, bright and shining.
The two of them drank the wine in one gulp.
"I will share the same gourd with you, and walk with you."
I will drink from the same gourd cup with you, and from now on we will move forward together.
Hearing Xuan Ting say this, Shen Yizi's eyes instantly became moist.
But the next moment——
Xuan Ting picked her up and held her sideways. "Since we have become Taoist couples, why don't we take advantage of this beautiful scenery and go to Wushan Mountain together?"
Go to Wushan Paradise together?! Is this guy's mind filled with only this yellow garbage? She really wanted to feed all the emotion she felt just now into a dog's stomach!
When his body was thrown onto the soft bed, Shen Yizhi hurriedly held back the person who was pressing on him, "Gu Xueting! Don't be impulsive, or you might get sick again."
Before, in order not to expose himself in front of her, Xuan Ting had to endure it even if he heard her calling out the name of another man (although that man was strictly speaking his own).
But now, she is his, the love knot has been tied, and the heaven has recognized their relationship. She will never be able to escape from his grasp in this life.
So, is there any need for him to pretend now? "Look into my eyes." Xuan Ting held her wrist to prevent her from moving.
Shen Yizhi subconsciously did as he said, and then watched his eyes turn red. The red pupils were like cold and clear rubies, shining brightly.
"You were just pretending before..." She subconsciously wanted to step back.
But where can she retreat to in bed?
