Yan Xi habitually pouted, looking at Jingzhe with a slightly confused expression, "Young Master, you've really mistaken me for someone else."
"Admit your mistake?"
Jingzhe carefully observed the woman before her, whose expression and demeanor were almost identical to Yan Xi's. To avoid mistaking her for someone else, she tentatively asked, "What is your name, young lady? Where do you live? Do you have any sisters?"
"Why ask so many questions? The Demon Emperor said that all the men in your Nine Netherworlds are bastards, and told us to stay away from you." Yan Xi asked, puzzled.
"Are you from the demon realm?"
Only after the Awakening of Insects did I belatedly notice the faint demonic aura emanating from her.
"Um."
Yan Xi nodded slightly, and in the blink of an eye, she left Jingzhe aside.
Seeing Jingzhe standing there looking dejected, Jingque suddenly reached out and put his hand on Jingzhe's shoulder and neck, asking curiously, "A-Zhe, you wouldn't happen to have taken a fancy to that girl, would you?"
"Don't talk nonsense. It seems you've mistaken someone for someone else."
With a look of desolation in his eyes, Jingzhe was about to join the grand wedding procession with Jingque when Yanxi stopped and timidly called out to him.
"Wait, your name is... A-Zhe?"
"What's wrong?"
On the day of the Awakening of Insects, my heart pounded like a drum, and the flame of hope rekindled in my eyes.
Yan Xi had always called him that.
Yan Xi pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time before mustering up the courage to walk up to Jingzhe. "Um... to be honest, my name is indeed Yan Xi. However, ten years ago I had a serious illness and lost almost all of my memories. I have basically forgotten everything from the past."
Amnesia?
“Hmm.” Yan Xi nodded. “There’s something I’ve never told anyone. For the past ten years, whenever I close my eyes, the image of a man always pops into my mind. In my dreams, his name is A-Zhe.”
Hearing her say this, Jingzhe became even more certain that the person in front of him was Yan Xi, who had died tragically at the hands of her enemies while trying to save him.
Overjoyed, he nervously rubbed his hands on his robes, unsure of what to say. "Yan Xi, do you know I've been searching for you for ten thousand years?"
"What?"
Yan Xi stared wide-eyed in astonishment.
Just as he was about to press for more information, the little demon he was traveling with pulled him away in the opposite direction at high speed. "What are you dawdling about? If you get back late, you'll be in for a beating."
"Can..."
Yan Xi hesitated for a moment, then decided to return to the demon realm to report.
Before leaving, she turned back to look at Jingzhe again, saying, "I will go to Jiuyou to find you in a few days."
"good."
Jingzhe gazed longingly at Yan Xi's receding figure, a faint smile involuntarily curving her lips.
Inside the bridal sedan chair, Leng Ye and Xuan Fengqian continued to play happily until Xuan Fengqian clutched her stomach and cried out in pain, at which point he realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Could it be that the pregnancy has been threatened?"
"Possibly."
Xuan Fengqian was so entangled that she had no choice but to make up a lie.
If it were on a tatami mat, it would be easier to handle.
She was still in the bridal sedan chair, and she really didn't want to continue like this any longer.
Not daring to utter a sound, and constantly on guard against the bridal sedan chair that could fall apart at any moment, it was truly a case of being overwhelmed.
"Does it still hurt?"
While anxiously questioning her, Leng Ye gently wiped away the sweat from her body.
Xuan Fengqian was too lazy to move, so she found a comfortable position in his arms and murmured softly, "Just a little bit."
A moment later, when she realized that Leng Ye was actually using his own undergarment to wipe her body, her face instantly turned bright red. "You..."
"It's alright."
After saying that, Leng Ye casually put on the undergarment he was holding.
"..."
Xuan Fengqian always felt that Leng Ye's skin was getting thicker and thicker. Except when he was asleep, he seemed to spend all his time flirting with her.
However, she was exhausted at the moment and didn't care about being shy. She still leaned steadily in his arms and fell into a deep sleep.
An hour later, she was gently awakened from her sleep by him.
"First bow to Heaven and Earth."
The deep, resonant voice that suddenly reached his ears made Xuan Fengqian's whole body tremble.
Seeing her standing there blankly, Leng Ye pressed down on the back of her head and said softly, "Cooperate a little."
Xuan Fengqian subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away the drool from the corner of her mouth, grumbling in dissatisfaction, "Couldn't you have woken me up sooner?"
"Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I can't bear to part with you."
Leng Ye gripped Xuan Fengqian's slightly cool hand tightly, her voice so gentle it seemed to melt hearts.
"Bowing to the parents twice."
Hearing this, Leng Ye looked at the gleeful-faced best man with a slightly puzzled expression.
Prior to this, he had told the best man who was officiating the wedding that he had no elders to pay respects to and that this step could be skipped.
Looking up, he realized that the White Emperor and Yuan Heng were already sitting in high positions with smiles on their faces.
"..."
Leng Ye realized that Bai Di was trying to take advantage of him again, and refused to give in no matter what.
However, after careful consideration, he and Xuan Fengqian still politely bowed to the two people sitting in the hall.
"Husband and wife bowing to each other."
As soon as the best man finished speaking, Leng Ye couldn't wait to turn around, gently lift Xuan Fengqian's veil, and, bowing slightly, kissed her thin red lips as if no one else was around.
Cheers erupted one after another.
All the women present blushed, looking at the two who were passionately kissing with envy.
"The ceremony is complete. They are then escorted to the bridal chamber."
The master of ceremonies had never seen such an impatient groom before, and he didn't know how to preside over the ceremony, so he hastily announced the completion of the marriage.
To his even greater surprise, Leng Ye abandoned all the guests and followed Xuan Fengqian into the bridal chamber.
Upon seeing this, all the guests burst into laughter.
"I never imagined that the usually cold-hearted Demon Lord of the Nine Netherworlds would be so anxious."
"Exactly! They start to lose control of their feelings as soon as they start worshipping the Heavenly Emperor. Once they enter the bridal chamber, they're bound to cause a huge uproar."
...
Xuan Fengqian braced herself and, amidst the laughter of the crowd, was dragged into the bridal chamber by Leng Ye.
"Leng Ye, are you really not going to keep the guests company?"
"I won't accompany you."
Leng Ye casually closed the door and went straight to the table. With a bright smile, he carried the nuptial wine towards Xuan Fengqian and said, "You are pregnant, so just have a small taste."
Xuan Fengqian's face suddenly showed a "tragic" expression, as if a hero was about to give up, when he thought about the fierce battle that was about to begin.
She slowly accepted the jade cup handed to her by Leng Ye, intending to use the wine to bolster her courage.
But after she drank the clear wine in the jade cup in one gulp, she soon fell into a daze and collapsed on the couch.
"A-Qian..."
Leng Ye looked at Xuan Fengqian, who was sprawled out on the bed, and said with doting affection, "You got drunk from the nuptial wine, you're something else."
Knowing that she couldn't hold her liquor, he specially added most of a glass of water to the nuptial wine.
Surprisingly, even so, she was still a complete "one-drink wonder".
