Egg nodded obediently and took Long Qianling's hand. The two of them then tiptoed out of the inner hall and thoughtfully closed the door behind them.
"Mother, where are we going?" Dandan looked up at Long Qianling.
Long Qianling lowered her head and smiled slightly, her voice gentle, "Let's go do something big!"
"Big things? Great, great! Egg loves doing big things!" Once outside the inner hall, Egg no longer had to speak in hushed tones and cheered excitedly.
Long Qianling's red eyes were full of laughter as she raised her other hand and pinched Dan Dan's chubby cheeks: "Let's go."
The mother and daughter walked out of the courtyard side by side, and soon arrived at the main hall.
When Egg saw the completely transformed main hall, its blue eyes were filled with shock, and its little mouth was wide open.
Before them, the once magnificent and solemn hall with its carved beams and painted rafters was now entirely red.
Beautiful red silk ribbons hung down, red ever-burning candles flickered, and eye-catching double happiness characters were pasted on the window, making it look extremely festive.
"Mother, what is this...?" Dandan scratched his head and looked up at Long Qianling with some confusion.
She was just a small dragon and had never seen these things before, nor did she know what they were used for.
Long Qianling squatted down, facing her, and reached out to pat her head: "This is a gift from your mother to your father."
"A gift from Mother to Father?"
“Yes, it’s for your father, so Dandan, you have to keep it a secret for your mother. Your father will be very happy when he sees it,” Long Qianling said with a smile.
Upon hearing that her father would be very happy, Egg immediately nodded and said, "Egg knows, Egg will keep it a secret!"
"Mmm, Egg is such a good girl." Long Qianling couldn't help but rub her fluffy head again.
Just then, a sound came from outside the hall. The mother and daughter looked up and saw Bai Yaoguang and Ming Yuyin walking in side by side.
“Long Qianling.” Ming Yuyin, sporting dark circles under her eyes, walked up to the mother and daughter.
Long Qianling straightened up, looked at the two of them, and asked, "How did it go?"
“The entire Dragon Palace is ready except for your inner palace. When we came over just now, we also checked on the progress of the wedding attire. Zhiyan and the others said it should be finished before sunset,” Bai Yaoguang said.
Fortunately, they are demons and can use their demonic powers; otherwise, if they relied solely on manpower, it would take forever to finish, especially considering how vast the Dragon Palace is.
Long Qianling nodded. "I will take him out tonight. You all need to get the inner palace ready by tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will marry him in a grand and glorious ceremony!"
"Okay," Bai Yaoguang and Ming Yuyin said in unison. After discussing for a while, the three of them parted ways.
Throughout the conversation, Dandan stood quietly to the side, listening to their discussion without making a sound.
Long Qianling turned her gaze away, looked down at Dandan, and asked softly, "Dandan, tonight your mother is taking your father out. Will you be a good boy and go find your maternal grandfather?"
"Is Mother going to give the gift to Father?" Egg blinked expectantly, eager to see how happy Father would be when he saw the gift from Mother.
“Yes, so Dandan needs to cooperate with his mother.” Long Qianling’s red eyes were full of doting affection.
Without hesitation, Egg nodded: "Okay, Egg will be good."
"Good girl."
…………
"Big Black Dragon, where are you taking me?" Bai Qingnian hugged Long Qianling tightly around the waist, her vision filled with darkness.
At this moment, Long Qianling had blindfolded him with a cloth, preventing him from seeing anything.
Long Qianling didn't want this either, but the Dragon Palace was all red right now, and if the little fox saw it now, it wouldn't be a pleasant surprise.
"We're going to a good place. You can't take the cloth off until we get there." Long Qianling chuckled, then leaped into the air with him in her arms, and their figures disappeared into the horizon.
When the two reappeared, they were already standing on the sea.
Long Qianling removed the cloth strip from his face, and Bai Qingnian was finally able to see again. He blinked uncomfortably before he could see the scene before him.
He was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "This is... Lian Tianhai!"
Long Qianling took his hand, her red eyes fixed on him, as if the beautiful scenery around her couldn't compare to him. Indeed, for Long Qianling, the beautiful scenery was no match for her little fox.
"So beautiful." Bai Qingnian exclaimed, looking at Lian Tianhai in front of her.
It is now night, and the sky and sea are emitting a blue glow, illuminating the vast expanse of the sea, which is extremely beautiful.
“Yes, she is indeed very beautiful,” Long Qianling replied, but her gaze remained fixed on Bai Qingnian, never leaving her.
Bai Qingnian turned to look at her, pulled his hand away, and raised his hand to form a hand seal.
In an instant, seawater shimmering with blue light shot out, forming a water bridge on the sea surface.
“Big Black Dragon, we didn’t cross the Bridge of Love during the Festival of Marriage before. Let’s use this instead. That way, the Fairy of Marriage will know that we are together, and we can stay together forever!” Bai Qingnian took Long Qianling’s hand and led her towards the bridge.
Long Qianling did not refuse and let him pull her along.
They're still together!
The two walked to the center of the bridge, and Bai Qingnian stopped and looked back at Long Qianling, only to find that she was also looking at him.
Bai Qingnian smiled slightly and said softly, "Big Black Dragon, meeting you is the happiest thing in my life."
If meeting her and falling in love with her was the result of the pain he endured in the first half of his life, then he wouldn't feel any pain anymore.
Upon hearing this, Long Qianling immediately pulled the person into her arms, her voice gentle and filled with undisguised affection: "My happiness is no less than yours."
If it weren't for him, she would still be sealed in the Abyss of Evil.
Bai Qingnian hugged her back, "Big Black Dragon, let's stay together forever, okay?"
"Okay, we'll always be together."
"Do you know how much my heart ached when Heaven wanted you to leave? That pain was worse than having my own flesh cut off." Bai Qingnian's voice was muffled, and something sounded wrong.
"It's my fault." Long Qianling touched the back of his head, her voice filled with self-reproach.
Bai Qingnian shook his head, "No, Big Black Dragon, you are very good, you are too good, that's why I can't bear to let you leave, so I want you to love me forever..."
"I love you, and I will always love you, now and forever!"
"I understand, and I will always love you." Bai Qingnian nodded, raised her head, leaned in, and kissed her.
Long Qianling returned his kiss, her movements careful, as if she were holding a rare treasure.
Bai Qingnian slowly closed her eyes, a single tear falling—a tear shed from overwhelming happiness…
