Chapter 158 The Grand Wedding 2 The wedding night is too short, enjoy it while you can.
“That’s right!” Ming Wushuang gritted his teeth and stepped forward, a friendly smile on his face, but a fierce glint in his eyes. “You have to drink this wine today!”
"Drink! You have to drink!" The tea shopkeeper, mingling in the crowd, raised his cup and cheered loudly, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Faced with the onslaught from his friends, Bai Ye exchanged a glance with Zhong Jiuli, smiled nonchalantly, rolled up his wide sleeves and said, "Bring on the wine. Today, I'll show you little brats the power of the number one genius in Kyushu."
She reached out and took the wine jar from Lu Yao, broke the clay seal, and with a bold and unrestrained air, clashed it with the larger wine jar that Shi Manman was holding, then tilted her head back and drank it down.
The clear, mellow wine poured down, a few drops spilling from the corners of her lips, tracing her smooth jawline, flowing down her slender neck, and finally disappearing into the depths of her bright red collar, leaving an ambiguous trail of liquid.
Zhong Jiuli, who was standing quietly to the side, lowered her gaze slightly, took half a step forward without making a sound, raised her hand, and used her fingertips to wipe away the dampness on Bai Ye's neck.
Seeing this scene, the crowd inexplicably felt that they were standing there superfluous. Shouldn't they have moved the bed over on the spot?
Even the two men drinking with their heads tilted back sensed that something was wrong.
Bai put down the empty wine jar, his hazy, drunken eyes sweeping over the crowd: "Why are you all quiet now? Weren't you just about to have a good drink? Were you scared by my genius? Haha, I told you you're a bunch of ignorant brats."
The group of young geniuses all turned to look at Zhong Jiuli, none of them daring to speak. Bai Ye followed their gaze, then nodded in sudden realization: "Oh~~~ I get it! You want to drink with my wife, right?"
She smiled and tugged at Zhong Jiuli's sleeve, "Come on, let these young people see how powerful our Sect Master Zhong is!"
“Alright.” Zhong Jiuli agreed with a smile, casually picked up an unopened jar of fine wine, and glanced at everyone present. “Thank you all for coming to witness the ceremony. This cup is for you all.”
"Respect to Sect Master Zhong...!"
Everyone was flattered and responded in unison, raising their glasses and drinking them down in one gulp.
To be personally toasted by the Celestial Emperor is an honor that will be remembered for a lifetime, and will be engraved on one's epitaph after death.
After drinking several rounds with these young cultivators, Zhong Jiuli helped the slightly tipsy Bai Ye to the seats where the aunties were.
The two held hands and respectfully toasted each of the aunties, who beamed with joy and uttered auspicious words.
When Bai Ye finally reached the main table, her steps were somewhat unsteady, and her cheeks were flushed. Her cultivation had not yet fully recovered, and the effects of these immortal wines, which contained pure spiritual energy, were quite significant for her.
"Hehe, four old ladies!" Bai Ye held up a wine glass, laughing like the village idiot at the entrance of the village. "How does it feel to drink the wine at my daughter's wedding? I'd like to toast you all!"
Shen Qingci, who was found by Zhong Jiuli from the river of time with her supreme supernatural powers, looked at her daughter, who was dressed in a bright red wedding dress and had beautiful features, with tears welling up in her eyes. She said softly, "It's so good. Our Aye has grown up to be such a beautiful girl."
"Drink less," the White Tiger Immortal Emperor said with concern. "Don't get drunk on such an important day as the covenant ceremony."
Bai Shu and Bai Yuzhu nodded with smiles, "After you finish this drink, have something to eat and go get some rest."
The four mothers expressed their care in different ways, but their deep love was the same.
"Okay~"
Bai nodded obediently, pulled Zhong Jiuli to sit down, picked up the jade chopsticks, and buried his head in eating.
"You're married now, why are you still acting like a child, only thinking about eating?" Bai Yuzhu gently scolded, her smile undiminished.
She picked up her jade chopsticks and placed the freshest, most tender roasted shrimp onto their plates. Looking at her daughter, dressed in a bright red wedding gown, sitting side-by-side with another person, she was overwhelmed with emotion.
Although she knew that her child would eventually have his own family when he grew up, in her eyes, Bai was still just a child who would pester her all day long and ask if he could drink cola or milk tea. In the blink of an eye, he had already gotten married.
"Oh my god, you underestimate her. Who is this? This is Sect Master Zhong, who is famous throughout the Nine Provinces. Normally, if she doesn't pick up her chopsticks, who dares to pick them up first?" Although Bai Ye said this, he had already reached out and pushed the purple crystal fruit that Zhong Jiuli liked to eat in front of her.
"You silly child, you're just talking nonsense. Her identity outside doesn't matter. What matters most is the care you, as her lover, give her," Bai Yuzhu said with a laugh.
“That’s right. Now that A-Ye is married, he should learn to care for and cherish his partner,” Shen Qingci added.
Zhong Jiuli watched this heartwarming scene with a smile. Bai was also being cared for and fed by the four mothers, and she seemed to feel the long-forgotten family affection.
Despite the hardships she endured, her Aya was always nourished by such abundant love.
Whether it was Bai Yuzhu in another world or her childhood in the White Tiger Tribe, Bai was always embraced by her mother's love. It was this love from her mother that nurtured her bright and warm nature, like the rising sun.
After the two of them finished their meal with the mothers, they got up and went to the table where their friends were sitting, and solemnly said goodbye to everyone.
Liu Xianyue, her cheeks flushed from drinking, smiled radiantly and tugged at Bai Ye's sleeve, instructing, "You stinky tiger, don't you dare take our Sect Leader Zhong away for too long. Come back when you're done playing."
"That's right! The Sanqing Sect can't be without its sect leader." Lu Yao chimed in loudly, the little girl's face was flushed from drinking, and her eyes were glazed.
"Okay, okay, we're just on our honeymoon, we'll be back after a while," Bai replied with a smile, hugging everyone goodbye.
"Waaah, Ye Zai, can't you bring Jiao Jiao along on your honeymoon?" Jiao Jiao looked at Bai Ye with reluctance, wanting to go with him.
"I want to go too." Xiao Taihuo looked at Bai Ye with longing eyes.
“Even if you go with us, your little one won’t have time to play with you. You might as well stay with us in the capital. Sister Liu will take you to find some good food.” Liu Xianyue smiled and picked up the little turtle, holding it in her arms to coax her.
“Yes, Jiaojiao, Taihuo, you two play with Sister Liu, Ming Lao Er, and Bai Lao San. If you want to eat anything, ask them to pay with spirit stones.”
Upon hearing Bai Ye's words, both of them turned pale and stared at her with hostility.
Bai also quietly hid behind Zhong Jiuli. She couldn't beat the two people on the other side right now, so it was safer to hide behind her wife.
Zhong Jiuli looked at her with amusement. This girl was both cowardly and playful.
She looked at everyone and said, "Goodbye, everyone."
"Goodbye!" everyone responded in unison.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Bai and Zhong Jiuli walked hand in hand under the moonlight, landing on a spirit boat suspended atop the sea of clouds.
This meticulously crafted spirit boat was a gift from Liu Xianyue to the couple for their new wedding. The boat was adorned with crimson palace lanterns, wrapped in red silk, and covered with soft celestial silk carpets on the deck. Everywhere, delicate and vibrant celestial flowers were displayed, shimmering with a hazy glow under the moonlight.
"As expected of Boss Liu, the decorations on this spirit boat are quite extravagant." Bai nodded in satisfaction.
"Do you like it?" Zhong Jiuli asked with a smile.
Bai turned to look at the woman beside him, his bright eyes reflecting only her image. "I like you, but you're the one I like the most."
After she finished speaking, she picked up Zhong Jiuli around the waist, and with a smile, stepped over the flickering candlelight and fragrant petals into the cabin decorated with double happiness paper-cuts.
"Now..." Bai lowered his head, gently rubbing the fair forehead of the person in his arms, his voice low and husky, "It's time for the wedding night."
Their foreheads touched, their breaths mingled, and they saw only each other.
"Then what... are you waiting for?" Zhong Jiuli asked in a hoarse voice.
Bai kissed her red lips stained with rouge, and the person in his arms tilted her head back in response. His jade-like arms hooked around the back of her neck, and his wide sleeves slipped down, revealing a section of snow-white wrist, which was particularly eye-catching in the night.
After a long while, Bai Ye stepped back slightly, panting slightly. He ran his fingertips over Zhong Jiuli's increasingly rosy lips, smacked them, and chuckled, "Why is it so sweet? What kind of lipstick is this? It tastes quite fragrant."
"I don't know either." Zhong Jiuli was also breathing heavily, leaning on her shoulder to calm herself down. Her eyes were red and alluring, whether it was the effect of the rouge or the kiss just now that had stirred her emotions.
"Boss Liu has always been good at thinking about these things, and all those makeup items were carefully prepared by her."
“Since that’s the case…” Bai Ye’s eyes darkened, and he leaned closer again, “We can’t let Boss Liu’s kindness go to waste.”
The unspoken words faded between their pressed lips, and the candlelight flickered gently, casting their gradually merging figures onto the cabin wall, trembling slightly with the firelight.
Amidst the soft rustling of fabric, the jade belt cinching her waist slipped to the ground with a "click." The crisp sound startled Bai Ye slightly, as if she had suddenly remembered something. She stepped back a little and looked at the person beneath her.
Zhong Jiuli had removed the phoenix crown from her head, her loose black hair spread across the pillow, her eyes were red with a captivating glow, her clothes were disheveled, revealing her beautifully shaped collarbone and a rounded curve, and there were a few red marks on her snow-white skin.
"Shouldn't we drink a toast together?" Bai Ye's voice was slightly hoarse with emotion.
Zhong Jiuli's eyes welled up with tears. She straightened her disheveled clothes, sat up, and said, "This custom does exist among the common people."
"Then let's follow the rules." Bai also got up, walked to the round table, poured two glasses of wine, and carried one in each hand back to the bedside.
Zhong Jiuli took the wine glass she handed him, intertwined their arms, and tilted his head back to drink the liquid in the glass.
After drinking the nuptial wine, Bai put the two empty wine glasses back on the table. When she returned to the bedside, she noticed something was amiss.
A flame seemed to ignite within her, rapidly spreading to every part of her body. She looked up at Zhong Jiuli and saw ripples in her eyes as well, the crimson at the corners of her eyes growing even more vibrant.
Zhong Jiuli lightly lifted her fingertip, and a note flew over from the table.
The two looked down and saw Liu Xianyue's elegant and flowing handwriting:
Knowing that you two have been separated for a long time and are inevitably a little awkward upon reunion, I have specially prepared this excellent medicine to enhance your enjoyment. It is neither poison nor curse, but a rare and precious medicine that can help the little tiger improve his cultivation and overcome his spiritual power. The spring night is too short, so enjoy it to the fullest.
The note fluttered from between his fingers, spun around, and fell to the ground.
Bai also ground his back teeth: "This Liu Xianyue..."
Before she could finish speaking, her lips were sealed with a kiss.
Zhong Jiuli tilted her head back and wrapped her arms around her neck like seaweed. Their breaths mingled, carrying a rich aroma of wine: "Since that's the case... let's not disappoint her good intentions."
Bai also took the opportunity to hug the warm and soft woman in his arms, and with a slight exertion of his waist, he pressed her back into the bed covered with a bright red brocade quilt.
The clothes that had been hastily gathered earlier loosened with this movement, revealing more of her fair and delicate skin underneath.
