Chapter 78 Let's Get Married
Seeing how insecure he looked, Ning Qi pulled his head close and kissed his forehead: "I saw you and I get married."
Xiao Sui's usually pale face flushed slightly. "Don't you think I'm... crazy?"
"No." Ning Qi cupped his face. "Didn't you read all the letters I left you? In the last letter, I told you to forget about me after reading them, why didn't you listen? Why did you still want to have such a grand wedding with me?"
"Aren't you happy?" Xiao Sui asked cautiously, "Because I married you without my consent."
Ning Qi shook her head. "I'm just heartbroken. What if I hadn't come back?"
Xiao Sui seemed to have already prepared his answer: "I will come to you."
"How do we find it?" Ning Qi had a bad feeling.
“Let this world be destroyed.” Xiao Sui calmly stated, “In the memories of the Demon Clan, I saw that when only Corpse Demons remain in this world, it will be completely destroyed, and we will meet again after that.”
Ning Qi stared blankly at him, "But what if it's fake? Then the destruction will really be complete, and nothing will be left. What will we do then?"
Xiao Sui shook his head indifferently, a stubborn glint in his eyes, "The world would have been destroyed long ago without you."
Ning Qi, remembering his devastating character in the original book, quickly covered his mouth, "Alright, now that I'm back, don't have those kinds of thoughts anymore, okay?"
Xiao Sui grabbed her hand and kissed it, then nodded obediently, "I understand."
Ning Qi was relieved. The only obstacle now was the male lead, but Yan Chongyan had been staying in prison and was behaving himself. It wasn't a bad situation to continue like this.
She thought about it carefully for a moment, then said, "I didn't feel like I was part of the wedding last time. Would you be willing to marry me again?"
Xiao Sui's eyes widened suddenly, his eyes began to redden, and soon they welled up with tears. "You... I... of course I'm willing!"
He spoke very quickly, perhaps afraid that she might change her mind at any moment.
Ning Qi was amused by his appearance and smoothed his hair. "Then please prepare again. There's no rush for the date. Let me pick one."
Xiao Sui nodded blankly, as if he hadn't yet recovered from her words.
Ning Qi touched his cheek, feeling a slight warmth in her palm.
Xiao Sui was having a really bad time without her, but thankfully she's back now, and no matter what the reason, she doesn't want to leave him again.
She stroked the scars on his arm, then lowered her head and kissed them.
Qianyu and Zhizhi were guarding outside when they heard someone inside calling for some water to be brought in.
Zhizhi poured the water and was about to go inside with the basin when Qianyu stopped her, saying, "Let me take it."
When Qianyu entered the bedchamber, she found that the furnishings were exactly the same as those in the princess's room, even more so than those in the Huaguang Sect's courtyard, because all the things the princess had used were displayed there.
She smiled sarcastically to herself. If she missed the princess so much, she shouldn't have sought someone new, no matter how similar that person was to the princess.
She brought in the water and immediately sensed the ambiguous atmosphere in the air. The woman lazily stretched out an arm and nestled in Xiao Sui's arms, her attitude towards her quite familiar. "Put it on the table."
Qianyu was momentarily stunned, because she really looked just like a princess, both in demeanor and appearance.
It wasn't a princess; the princess lay in a cold cave. Xiao Sui, for his own selfish reasons, refused to let her rest in peace.
She lowered her eyes, concealing the hatred within them, placed the basin of water down, and immediately left.
"How can you tolerate Xiao Sui finding someone who looks so much like the princess?" Qianyu asked Zhizhi, looking at Ningxi and Xiao Sui who were inseparable.
Zhizhi glanced at her and said, "Young Master Xiao's love for the princess is unwavering, as heaven and earth can attest. He must have his reasons for taking a liking to this girl."
Qianyu didn't understand and accused, "It's just that he's superficially attracted to her appearance. Xiao Sui's love for the princess is nothing more than that. The reason you say this is because your master is Xiao Sui now, not the princess anymore."
Zhizhi didn't explain much to her and went about her own business.
For several days in a row, Qianyu followed Ningqi around the Demon Palace, drawing a route map from the main gate to the dungeon, and marking the locations of the sleeping quarters and the back garden. She bit her finger and dripped blood into a piece of paper. The paper was made of some unknown material, but the blood was immediately absorbed without leaving a trace.
After doing all this, she folded the paper into the shape of a butterfly, and infused it with spiritual power in the dead of night before releasing it into the air.
"What are you doing?" Zhizhi asked, yawning as she came out to look at her.
Qianyu calmed herself down. "I can't sleep, so I'm going for a walk."
"Oh, don't think too much, you'll fall asleep soon," Zhizhi said meaningfully, draped in her coat.
The next day, she immediately reported the matter to Xiao Sui and expressed her speculation: "She seems to be secretly contacting the cultivation world."
Xiao Sui held up the paper imbued with spiritual power in his hand. "I know. I have intercepted her letter. Her sudden arrival in the Demon Realm does indeed have another purpose. She wants to rescue Yan Chongyan."
"Then what do we do?" Zhizhi asked.
Xiao Sui altered the map in his hand in a few places, folded it back into the shape of a butterfly, imbued it with spiritual power, and the butterfly flew out from his slender fingers.
"Of course, we should turn the tables on them and wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"Your Highness is wise," Zhizhi said with a smile.
Ning Qi didn't know what Zhizhi wanted to report to Xiao Sui alone. She avoided Qian Yu and went to the Demon Group alone, asking the first-ranked person, "Can I see your memories? I want to know what happened in the past."
One-character: "This won't work. First, my demonic energy is stronger than that of the three-character one, and you can't withstand it. Second, my memories were fragmented after the Demon God saw them, so they're useless to you."
Ning Qi had no choice but to give up. But according to Xiao Sui and the Demon Group, this world was destroyed once because everyone turned into corpse demons. So were there any mission takers last time? And what did that have to do with her?
If it has nothing to do with her, why is the system so secretive about her and unwilling to tell her the truth?
If she was involved, then why did her mission fail once? Why would the system erase her memory?
Ning Qi racked her brains but still couldn't figure it out. Her feet unconsciously followed the black mass into the courtyard, where she saw Xiao Sui with a rosy complexion and slightly out of breath, standing under a tree with his hands behind his back.
"Have you finished talking with Zhizhi? What are you doing?" Ningxi asked him with some surprise.
"Hmm, nothing much." Xiao Sui's eyes darted away. "I was just about to come find you."
Ning Qi was even more suspicious.
The black figure immediately saw through him, "Princess, he was exercising just now."
"Yes, he's building muscle."
Xiao Sui's ears turned red.
Ning Qi roughly understood, secretly amused, and asked knowingly, "Why do you need to exercise? Your demonic energy is very strong now."
“…You think I’m too thin, and that I don’t feel good to the touch,” Xiao Sui said softly.
The demons wisely flew away, leaving the courtyard to the two of them.
Ning Qi leaned closer to Xiao Sui, placed her hand on his chest, and said with a smile, "Then let me check your results."
Qianyu retrieved the pastries Ningxi wanted from the kitchen and was about to push open the door when Zhizhi suddenly appeared and stopped her, making a shushing gesture.
Qianyu stopped what she was doing in confusion, and when she heard panting coming from inside, she blushed slightly.
"Let's go, don't ruin their good time." Zhizhi pulled her away.
As Asamiya memorized the route, she said, "How could they be in the courtyard..."
“Absence makes the heart grow fonder,” Zhizhi said vaguely. “Besides, they’ve been apart for…so long.”
"What do you mean?" Qianyu pressed.
Zhizhi stopped answering her, took the pastries from her plate, chewed them, and said, "Hmm, they're quite delicious."
Qianyu closed the lid and looked down at the exquisite pastries. "These are what the princess used to like to eat. That woman even imitated the princess's taste!"
Zhizhi stared wide-eyed and coughed twice suddenly.
——
A white butterfly flew into the Huaguang Sect's council hall from outside the window and came to Xie Jingyan's hand. He grabbed it and the butterfly immediately stopped flapping its wings and turned into a folded piece of paper.
"Everyone, Qianyu's message has been sent back."
As he spoke, he unfolded the paper, looked at the route map drawn on it, compared it with his own, and his furrowed brows remained furrowed.
He then took out his storage bag, took out a porcelain bottle, uncorked it, and dripped the reddish-brown liquid inside onto the paper.
All the cultivators of Huaguang Sect craned their necks to look at the paper.
The liquid quickly flowed along the pen marks, drawing brown lines along the black lines, but in some places, it appeared patterns completely different from the black lines.
Only after the brown liquid stopped flowing did he show the map in his hand to everyone.
"The red lines were drawn by Miss Qianyu. After she drew the map, she left a blood symbol. No matter how others modify it, as long as her blood is dripped on it again, the original pattern she drew will appear. The purpose was to prevent others from intercepting and tampering with it. But now it seems that the demons have become suspicious of Miss Qianyu and have modified the map."
"We should rescue her as soon as possible," Xie Xiyue said.
"We must not act rashly," Xie Jingyan said. "The demons have discovered our plan and are definitely waiting for us to come to them so they can wipe us out in one fell swoop. We need a more comprehensive plan. I believe they will not harm Qianyu for the time being."
Xie Xiyue said with dissatisfaction, "The Demon God has killed so many cultivators, and I have never seen him show any mercy to any of them. Qianyu's exposure now clearly puts her in danger."
The others were clearly more concerned with how to save Yan Chongyan and had no interest in Qianyu's life or death. They unanimously agreed with Xie Jingyan's statement and began to formulate a meticulous plan and choose a date to enter the Demon Palace.
Ning Qi flipped through the perpetual calendar, preparing to choose an auspicious day to marry Xiao Sui.
She now lives a life similar to Hua Guangzong's, with Zhizhi and Qianyu by her side, and of course Xiao Sui. Moreover, she doesn't need to go to school every day, so she's actually more comfortable than before.
She roughly selected several auspicious dates for the wedding and showed them to Xiao Sui two or three months later.
Xiao Sui immediately chose the closest day, saying, "I like this day."
"Sure," Ning Qi nodded. "But time is a bit tight. Do you have enough time to prepare everything?"
Xiao Sui kissed her forehead. "Of course."
"Okay, then this day it is." Ning Qi circled the date on the perpetual calendar and began to look forward to it every day.
However, Xiao Sui became increasingly busy, and spent less time by her side. She asked Mo Tuan and Zhi Zhi, who both told her that cultivators from Hua Guang Sect might come to rescue Yan Chongyan soon, and they needed to be prepared to deal with it.
Ning Qi could understand, but she was annoyed by these Huaguang Sect cultivators taking up Xiao Sui's time, and the idea of sending Yan Chongyan away as soon as possible arose in her mind.
Late that night, she was sleeping soundly in Xiao Sui's arms when she suddenly felt the heat source on her body disappear and groggily opened her eyes.
Xiao Sui had already stood up and put on his outer clothes. "The cultivators from the Huaguang Sect have arrived. You are safe here. Please don't go out, okay?"
Ning Qi nodded, watching Xiao Sui's retreating figure, and mentally called out to the system, "Will the male lead be able to escape this time?"
The system, which had been silent for a long time, spoke up and gave her a real-time report: "We do not yet know that Huaguang Sect has sent more than seventy people, led by Xie Jingyan and Xie Xiyue, who have entered the Demon Palace and some have reached the dungeon."
Ning Qi clutched the blanket, waiting anxiously. The system said, "Xie Jingyan destroyed the water prison's fence, and the male protagonist came out. They are preparing to leave through the nearest North Gate. Xiao Sui is leading people to chase after them and is engaged in a battle with more than a dozen cultivators."
"It would be best if the male lead left as soon as possible," Ning Qi said with annoyance.
"No, they're heading north," the system said.
Ning Xi: "What are they doing here?"
The system couldn't answer either, but she soon found out the answer: chaotic footsteps came from outside the bedchamber, followed by several sounds of people climbing over the wall and landing.
"They're here to see me?" Ning Qi asked, bewildered.
The system replied, "It seems so."
Someone outside called out, "Girl, I know you're inside. Come with us and leave quickly."
It was Yan Chongyan's voice.
Ning Qi said to the system speechlessly, "No, is he sick in the head?"
She stayed inside and had no intention of going out, while five or six figures surrounded Yan Chongyan in the yard.
They were secret guards sent by Xiao Sui to protect Ning Qi.
