Chapter 73 Marriage Sign [End of Text] He...
(Seventy-three)
The stone slab showed every time that Zhou Xuan came to Jiutian Lake. From beginning to end, there was no Taoist companion, and even Lu Ling appeared in the picture very rarely. Most of the time, he sat by the pool and talked to the little turtle.
"Your Majesty, it's so pitiful to be like this..." Lu Ling couldn't help but whisper, "I'm clearly in the palace, why don't you come and talk to me?"
Li Shanglu looked at Zhu Xuan's lonely back without saying a word.
He knew that Lu Ling was very busy, and perhaps also knew that other immortals did not like him, so he did not disturb them.
This little turtle is his rumored "Daoist companion". Because Jiutian Pond is Lu Ling's pond and the little turtle is Lu Ling's little turtle, no matter how much he likes it, he will not take it away secretly. He can only come to Jiutian Pond and sit there often.
It was obvious that she was not familiar with Zhou Xuan, but looking at the figure that looked exactly like Shen Changyi, Li Shanglu seemed to understand what he was thinking.
It was indeed the same person, except that this was Shen Changyi from seven hundred years ago.
He doesn't understand the ways of the world, isn't very good at speaking, and doesn't even have any friends.
At least Shen Changyi still has Li Shanglu and Du Heng to chat with, but Zhou Xuan doesn't.
The master was unable to ascend and had already died in the lower world. He became a banished immortal and offended many immortals. Everyone was afraid and avoided him. When Zhu Xuan wanted to talk, he could only chat with this little turtle without any intelligence to relieve his boredom.
I see.
Li Shanglu felt inexplicably relieved. He no longer felt annoyed when looking at that cold face, but instead found it a little funny.
So stupid, he's become an immortal, but he can't even do something as trivial as dealing with people.
The picture on the Tiandao Stone dimmed. From a certain day on, Zhu Xuan stopped coming to Jiutian Lake. He must have accepted the mission of suppressing demons on earth. He must have left in a hurry and had no time to visit the little turtle.
"That's all." Lu Ling blinked, looked at Li Shanglu, and said with a smile, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, I've helped you a lot. Can you treat me to a meal some other day?"
Li Shanglu looked away somewhat embarrassedly and responded softly.
What a shame.
Such a misunderstanding happened just after ascending.
"You can bring Immortal Lord Zhuxuan along too." Lu Ling's eyes curved and he smiled sweetly. "I have contributed greatly to the things you experienced in the lower realm."
Hearing this, Li Shanglu was slightly stunned for a moment, "You can see all this?"
"As long as someone has tied a marriage plan on the tree, I can see it." Lu Ling proudly picked up a red plank from the ground. "Don't look at how messy it is here, but I will read every plank and help in any way I can."
Li Shanglu was still puzzled.
She had never tied any marriage fortune sticks, and it was even more impossible for Shen Changyi to do so. This piece of wood didn't even dare to ask for their marriage.
Could it be that... Li Hanye and the others tied it for her secretly?
It seemed that this was the only explanation, and Li Shanglu did not take it too seriously. Suddenly, his mind thought of Shen Changyi, who was thrown under the albizzia tree by her.
broken.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly stood up to say goodbye to Lu Ling. She promised to cook for her personally in a few days and then left in a hurry.
As soon as Li Shanglu opened the palace door, he saw Shen Changyi standing silently under the albizzia tree from afar.
She coughed lightly, walked forward to hold his hand, and explained in a low voice, "Shuhe, I've asked clearly, and Zhu Xuan doesn't have any Taoist companions."
Shen Changyi tilted his head to look at her, his palm still tightly holding a plum blossom-shaped marriage sign. He slightly turned sideways to avoid Li Shanglu's hand.
"oh."
His tone was gloomy, as if he was angry.
Li Shanglu was silent for a moment, then forcibly grabbed his hand and clasped his fingers together.
Shen Changyi wanted to struggle, but she glared at him and he immediately gave up. He just kept pursing his lips, as if he was very unconvinced.
He was wronged by Shanglu.
He is right this time.
Li Shanglu didn't care whether he was right or wrong, he took his hand and went back.
"etc."
Shen Changyi spoke softly, and in Li Shanglu's confused gaze, he let go of her hand.
He carefully looked at the marriage fortune stick in his hand again, and then carefully hung it back on the treetop.
Only then did Li Shanglu realize that he had taken a stick, stood on tiptoe slightly, and saw the words on it.
"I only hope that my wife, one day, will marry you, and we will be together forever, and spare your life from the sword."
She stared at it for a long time, then burst out laughing.
"Why are you writing this? Are you afraid that I'll chop you down in the future?"
Shen Changyi looked at her and whispered, "This is not written by me."
Hearing this, Li Shanglu really began to feel that the handwriting did not seem to be from Shen Changyi's hand.
But if it wasn't written by Shen Changyi...
"It's Zhuxuan."
After he finished speaking, Li Shanglu completely understood why Zhou Xuan came to Jiutianchi, and also understood why Lu Ling knew her name.
Zhu Xuan has always known that he would face the love tribulation of Li Shanglu after he came to the mortal world, so he came here specifically to find the matchmaker immortal Lu Ling, hoping to ask for a solution to the love tribulation.
But Lu Ling was too busy and could never take care of him.
He could only wait by the Jiutian Pond, and as he waited, he started chatting with the little turtle.
Later, Zhou Xuan couldn't see the busy Lu Ling for a long time, so he followed the example of the mortal world and hung a marriage sign on the tree of Albizia Julibrissin, hoping that sooner or later Lu Ling would see the sign and perhaps help him.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xuan only wrote to spare the life by the sword, but he didn't expect that he was poisoned to death. In the end, he was one step behind.
Li Shanglu found it interesting and flicked the marriage lot with his fingertips. He didn't know what taboo he touched, but the small red lot suddenly turned into gold powder and disappeared.
“…”
Both of them were silent.
Shen Changyi muttered softly, "You destroyed Zhou Xuan's relics."
Perhaps it was this stick that worked and allowed him and Shang Lu to reconcile.
Li Shanglu was so angry that he laughed a little. He raised his hand to push him away and walked towards Lu Ling's cave. After a while, he came out with a brand new marriage sign.
In Shen Changyi's surprised eyes, she spoke casually,
"Why not just write a new one?"
Li Shanglu pretended to be nonchalant as he handed him the red stick. The flowers on the Albizia julibrissin tree moved without wind, as if a rain of flowers was falling from the sky.
Shen Changyi was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, his hand had already taken it unconsciously.
He lowered his eyes, pondered for a long time, and gently stroked the stick with his fingertips. Soon, a row of small, upright characters were carved on the stick by spiritual energy.
"Shanglu, my wife, wishes my love and affection to last for a thousand years, and to live with you as long as your life."
Long-lasting love, everlasting?
If you keep talking big like that and we stay in the same room every day, we might get bored of each other in a few years.
He'd better do what he says.
Li Shanglu stared at the stick for a long time, then slowly took out another stick from his sleeve and said awkwardly, "I accidentally took an extra one."
Shen Changyi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he hurried over to see what kind of fortune she was going to write for him.
Li Shanglu pondered for a while, then imitated him and used his spiritual energy to carve the words on the marriage sign.
She was inferior to Shen Changyi in terms of reading. She had never been able to write anything good since she was a child, let alone write words as corny as Shen Changyi's. Anyway, only Lu Ling would be able to see this marriage sign in the future, so it was enough for Lu Ling to understand it.
"Stop peeking."
Li Shanglu pushed him away in disgust and covered his sign.
Shen Changyi reluctantly took a half step back, watching her carve the inscription and tie the red inscription to the treetop.
She actually didn't even look at him.
Li Shanglu dragged him away. Shen Changyi tried to look back several times, but she turned her face away and said, "If you look again, I'll beat you up."
Under her threat, Shen Changyi had no choice but to give up. He held her hand and whispered, "It's better not to look at it. After we go back, Shang Lu must compensate me."
"? What compensation do you want?"
"You wronged me today and made me sad." He finally reasoned with her and could not let Shang Lu go easily.
Li Shanglu glanced at him and said lightly,
"Oh, sorry."
Shen Changyi choked and said unwillingly, "Perfunctory, you have to take action to make it up to me."
"...You're pushing your luck further, and you're even calling me the Immortal Lord. How shameless!"
The tips of Li Shanglu's ears turned slightly red. How could she not understand what he was thinking? However, she still raised her hands to hold the side of his face and kissed it gently.
Two red sticks fluttered between the bright red albizzia flowers, moved by the breeze, and the ropes of the sticks were tightly entwined and intertwined, like a pair of intertwined plants.
——"Shanglu, my wife, I wish my love and affection to last for a thousand years, and to live as long as yours."
——"Yes."
She only wrote two words.
Shen Changyi's marriage fortune is a wish, and Li Shanglu's marriage fortune is a promise.
She is willing to give him the future he expects, a long-lasting love that will last forever.

The author has something to say: The sequel will be a special chapter.
I probably won’t write a lot. I’ve only decided on one for now. If you have any extra chapters you want to see, please let me know in the comments.
Although this book did not take me long to write, it brought me a lot of benefits. I have also read everyone's comments. Whenever I feel like I can't write anymore, I take a look at it and I can immediately get up and write the third update.
In this book, Shang Lu and Chang Yi both have their own character flaws. They are not perfect and powerful protagonists in the secular sense, but they both hit my cute spot. They are so cute that I cry out every day while writing. I am also grateful that everyone likes this young couple~
Finally, King Lu Lu and the strange-looking puppy 99!
