Xia Qingyue did not ask any more questions. Considering the height and status of this woman in white, she said "impossible" so confidently, which meant there was really not even the slightest possibility.
“Qingyue, I know you are eager to repay your gratitude and want to repay the life-saving grace at birth as much as possible before returning to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, but you married him, this is enough. When you return to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace, your identity will be made public. He may be ridiculed more in the future, but no matter what, the identity of the husband of a disciple of Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace is there. With this identity, at least in this small Floating Cloud City, no one will dare to really hurt him.” The woman in white said comfortingly.
Xia Qingyue nodded gently: "I hope it will be like this."
"His profound veins are crippled, and he has no other strengths. He will never achieve anything in his life. You are not only beautiful and intelligent, but also talented. You are also a rare talent in my Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace. Otherwise, the Palace Master would not have made an exception and agreed to your request to marry him in order to put your mind at ease. It is the greatest blessing and good fortune in his life that he can marry you. You have done your best to do this. Even if his father Xiao Ying is reborn, if he is smart enough, I believe he would have taken the initiative to cancel the previous engagement... I will leave first, and I will come to pick you up in a month. During this period, I will not go far. If you encounter anything that cannot be solved, please inform me at any time using the sound transmission note."
"Farewell, Master."
The woman in white nodded and turned around, revealing a beautiful and cold face. She wore no makeup, but her skin was as white and smooth as snowy jade, which made people think of the words "ice skin and jade bones" and "snowy face and red lips". Her facial features were even more delicate and flawless, and her beauty revealed a kind of holy coldness that made people dare not look directly at her, as if she was a fairy who was standing on the ninth heaven, without a trace of worldly fireworks.
She pushed open the rear window, her body swayed slightly, and as the ice spirit floated, the whole person disappeared there like mist.
The Xiao family's hall was filled with guests.
"Uncle Liu Qi, please have a drink." Xiao Che respectfully brought the wine glass to an elegant-looking middle-aged man.
The man called "Uncle Liu Qi" stood up with a smile, took the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp. Then he said with a smile: "My dear nephew, I was also a close friend of your father back then. Now that I see you have started a family and married such a good wife, I am also very happy."
"Thank you, Uncle Liu Qi."
"Great Elder, please drink."
Xiao Li, the great elder of Xiao Clan, picked up the wine glass, drank it in one gulp, and then dropped the glass heavily on the table. During the whole process, he only snorted "hmm" and didn't say a word, and didn't even look at Xiao Che. His attitude was as if drinking the wine he toasted was giving him a huge honor.
Xiao Che did not say anything and walked to the next table. Just after walking two steps away, Xiao Li spat on the ground and snorted coldly enough for Xiao Che to hear: "What a beautiful flower, it's stuck in dog shit. Pah!"
Xiao Che's expression did not change, and his steps did not pause, as if he had not heard anything at all. However, a hint of deep coldness condensed in the depths of his eyes.
Coming to the side of the Second Elder Xiao Bo, Xiao Che bowed slightly and said, "Second Elder, Xiao Che offers you a toast."
Xiao Bo didn't even look at Xiao Che, but turned his old face away and said lightly: "Yang'er, drink it for me."
"Yes, grandpa." Xiao Yang took the wine glass from Xiao Che without saying a word and drank it down in one gulp.
The wine offered to the elders was actually drunk by their juniors. This was not contempt, but naked humiliation. After finishing the wine, Xiao Yang put down the wine glass and sat down, with undisguised contempt and ridicule in his eyes.
Xiao Che said nothing, nodded slightly, and walked to the next table. Just like before, he had just walked two steps away when a cold snort sounded: "Humph, trash is trash, even if he climbs up to the Xia family, he is still trash. Does that old guy Xiao Lie still hope to turn things around by relying on his grandson's wife? Pah!"
His voice was filled with disdain and ridicule, and of course, jealousy. Not to mention the Xia family's wealth, just based on Xia Qingyue's amazing talent, if she didn't marry Xiao Che, but married his grandson Xiao Yang, he would probably laugh out loud in his dreams.
Xiao Che pretended not to hear anything and walked away with a smile on his face.
By the time Xiao Che had finished toasting and seeing off the guests, the night had completely fallen. During the whole process, some people showed him sincere congratulations and blessings, but there were very few people of this kind, so few that Xiao Che could count them with ten fingers. Most people were still very polite to him, after all, today was his wedding day, but he could clearly see the contempt in their eyes, some people sighed, some were jealous and indignant, and some people showed disdain and trash-looking expressions on their faces without disguising.
Because his profound veins were crippled, he would never achieve anything in his life. Therefore, they did not need to make friends with him or be polite to him, and they did not even care about offending him, because even if they did, with his crippled profound veins, there would be no consequences. Instead, they could act recklessly in front of this useless person, showing off their superiority to the fullest, looking down on this weak person who could never surpass them with the attitude of a strong man...
This is reality and the ugly nature of most human beings.
"Go to bed early." Xiao Lie patted Xiao Che's shoulder with a gentle smile.
At this moment, Xiao Che certainly knew what was hidden behind his grandfather's smile.
As Xiao Lie got older, his temper became milder. But when he was young, Xiao Lie's temperament was just like his name, he would get angry at the slightest provocation. If anyone made him unhappy, he would definitely make them very unhappy. There was no one he dared not to provoke. Xiao Che knew very well that his grandfather's temperament became milder and milder, not because of his age, but because of him...
For the sake of his grandson who was good for nothing and needed his full protection, he had to become gentle and low-key. Even if he was insulted or bullied, as long as it did not touch his bottom line, he would endure it to the greatest extent. In this way, he would no longer have any enemies whether he was alive or dead. If not, it would be easy for the people he offended to take revenge on his grandson who had no profound power.
Xiao Lie, the Fifth Elder who possessed the strongest profound power in Floating Cloud City and was once unprovoked, was now often bullied and mocked by the other four elders. Even the younger generations did not have much respect or fear for him.
Looking at Xiao Lie's departing back, his mind flashed with those faces full of sneers and disdain. Xiao Che slowly clenched his hands, his knuckles gradually turned pale, and his eyes radiated a coldness like a knife blade. Then, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a creepy sneer.
Xiao Che was definitely a person who held grudges. In the last years of Cangyun Continent, his heart was filled with hatred. He would remember those who were good to him, and he would also remember those who were not good to him... He was almost vindictive.
"You will... regret it..."
A deep voice slowly escaped from Xiao Che's mouth, like some kind of vicious curse.
Since God has given me a chance to be reborn, how can I let my grandfather and myself be bullied again! !
When he returned to his courtyard, the full moon was already high in the night sky. Xiao Che came to the corner of the courtyard, stretched out his left hand, and suddenly, a water arrow shot out from his palm.
At the banquet today, he had to drink a lot of wine. In the end, he looked drunk and could hardly stand, but he was actually very sober. It was not because he could drink a lot, but because all the wine he drank was transferred to the space of the Sky Poison Pearl the moment he drank it. The Sky Poison Pearl had merged with his body, so he could control the Sky Poison Pearl as easily as he controlled his own body.
After a long time of "swishing", all the wine in the Sky Poison Pearl was finally discharged. Xiao Che raised his left hand which was stained with wine, suddenly grinned, and slapped the wine directly on his face, then held his breath, making his face red, and then stumbled, pushed open the door, and walked into the new house.
The door was pushed open, and a smell of alcohol immediately followed him in. Xiao Che stumbled as he entered the room, and almost fell to the ground. He raised his head in a somewhat embarrassed manner and looked at Xia Qingyue. At this time, Xia Qingyue was sitting upright on the bed, her beautiful eyes closed, and she was extremely peaceful. The dim red candlelight reflected her beautiful face, adding a bit of irresistible dreaminess and charm.
Xiao Che’s eyes sparkled, a lewd smile appeared on his face, and he walked towards Xia Qingyue with shaky steps: “Hehehehe, wife… I’ve kept you… waiting for a long time… Now… we can… have our wedding night…”
Xia Qingyue’s eyes suddenly opened and she waved her right hand forward casually.
An irresistible icy cold air suddenly swept in front of Xiao Che, pushing his body directly out of the door and falling on his butt on the ground in the yard, almost knocking over the only stone table.
Xiao Che cried out in pain, rubbed his butt, and finally got up after struggling for a long time. He roared angrily: "Damn it! I was just joking, why did you have to be so cruel! I was powerless, and you were so cruel... Could it be that you wanted to murder your husband!"
Bang!
The door slammed shut.
Xiao Che pushed forward, only to find that the door was tightly shut.
Xiao Che suddenly became depressed... This woman, let alone teasing, can't even take a joke! How can we still get along happily?
"I was really just joking...Besides, I'm just a scumbag at the first level of the Elementary Profound Realm. It's impossible for me to offend you even if I wanted to."
Xia Qingyue did not respond.
Xiao Che stood in front of the door and waited for a long time, but the door still showed no sign of opening. Xiao Che's courtyard only had this one house, not to mention the side rooms, not even a utility room or a stable. If it were normal times, he could sneak over to his aunt's place to sleep, but tonight was the wedding night, and it would be inappropriate for him to go anywhere.
A gust of night wind blew, causing Xiao Che to shrink. He knocked on the door again and said weakly, "Hey, you don't really want me to sleep outside tonight, do you? You should know that there are many people in the Xiao family who have feelings for you. They will be very uncomfortable on our wedding night. However, they all believe that a pearl like you would never be interested in a scum like me, so even if we get married, they won't let me touch a finger, and we can't even sleep under the same roof. So, after a while, someone will definitely come secretly to see me make a fool of myself. If they see me being locked out of the room by you, I will become a complete laughing stock."
"No matter what, I am your husband now. Can you really bear to watch me being laughed at by them?"
The room was still quiet. Just when Xiao Che couldn't help but kick the door, the tightly closed door finally opened slowly.
Xiao Che rushed in at lightning speed and slammed the door shut.
Xia Qingyue, who was sitting beside the bed, still maintained her previous posture. Although it was just an ordinary sitting posture, she showed a kind of hazy nobility and elegance. She turned her beautiful eyes slightly, glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Xiao Che, and said lightly: "Don't come within five steps of me."
"...Then where do you want me to sleep?" Xiao Che pouted in dissatisfaction. This house is very small, with only a bed, a desk, a small dining table, and two cabinets. The entire room is only seven or eight steps from east to west. The distance beyond five steps... basically has to be shrunk to the foot of the wall opposite the bed.
“You sleep on the bed.” Xia Qingyue stood up from the bed.
“No!” Xiao Che flatly refused, and then sat down in the corner farthest from Xia Qingyue, closing his eyes. Although Xia Qingyue was more than a hundred times stronger than him in terms of strength, as a man, he was not willing to sleep on the bed while a woman slept on the floor.
