Chapter 106 The Metaphysics Master's Fiancée 23
During this period, Lan Changge's reason for refusing commissions was always "Master Luo is preparing for his wedding," just five simple words...
During this period, Lan Changge's reason for refusing to work with clients was always "Master Luo is preparing for her wedding." These five simple words scared Luo Shuyu's clients quite a bit.
Anne, who was in Florence, gasped in surprise, her notebook soaked with ink. Realizing her assignment was ruined, she frantically wiped it with a napkin while asking Lan Changge, "You mean that Luo Shuyu, the mysterious ghost-tamer from the East, the woman who seems even more celibate than the nuns in the convent?"
"Her marriage partner is a family friend, and she's a very pretty young woman," Lan Changge said. "Shuyu sincerely apologized for the trouble she caused you. After the wedding, she will go abroad to help exorcise ghosts."
“This ghost isn’t a problem. I saw Miss Luo just throw away a talisman last time and it was solved,” Annie said. “Why don’t we take this opportunity to have Miss Luo hold her wedding abroad? Let our foreign friends see the newlyweds.”
Annie opened the website they had created for Luo Shuyu, which documented Luo Shuyu's exorcisms abroad. Led by her clients, it had already amassed a large following. Annie announced Luo Shuyu's upcoming marriage on the website, and everyone went wild.
"I'm in Switzerland, and I want to meet two beautiful brides!"
"I'm in England, and I admire Ms. Luo Shuyu so much. I really hope they can come to the Thames and see the beautiful reflections here."
"I am a Finnish witch who is very interested in the mysticism of the ancient East. I wonder when Miss Luo will be able to come to Northern Europe. I am willing to go as long as it is in the surrounding area."
Lan Changge hadn't expected the international friends to be so enthusiastic, so she could only tell Luo Shuyu about it, saying, "Many people are looking forward to you holding your wedding abroad. They want to see you and Yi Qing."
Luo Shuyu said, "I see."
After Jiang Yiqing told her friends that she was getting married, she also received a lot of support from her friends abroad. Some of them were very sorry that they could not attend the wedding, so they could only invite her to go skiing abroad when she had time, and they would definitely send their blessings then.
"Why don't you think about it?" Jiang Yiqing said. "Mom is going abroad on business again, so she can take this opportunity to participate."
After acquiring Qing Shu's land, Luo Shu continued with other matters and is now abroad again. Although she will definitely return to China for her daughter's wedding, the Luo family has many friends overseas, and having everyone attend would be too much of a fuss. Given this need, it would be better for them to hold a wedding abroad as well.
“Alright, we’ll do it once in China and once abroad,” Luo Shuyu said, helping Jiang Yiqing fasten her protective gear.
At the beginning of the new year, Jiang Yiqing said she was going skiing, which made the Jiang family very nervous, since she had just fallen and now she wanted to go skiing again.
Luo Shuyu could only protect her tightly. Unlike others who thought Jiang Yiqing was a master skier, only Luo Shuyu knew that Jiang Yiqing now had to start learning to ski from scratch.
Before setting off, Luo Shuyu and she had a conversation.
"Why did you decide to come skiing?" Luo Shuyu asked. "Are you worried that you are different from the previous Yi Qing? Actually, everyone knows that Yi Qing is Yi Qing, not anyone else."
"Can't I learn if I want to?" Jiang Yiqing smiled and said, "If I don't know how, you can teach me, okay?"
What else could Luo Shuyu say? She could only do whatever she was told. This time, she couldn't let anything happen to her again.
The two arrived at a ski resort nestled among the snow-capped mountains. The surrounding scenery was beautiful, but the wind was biting cold.
Jiang Yiqing, however, was not afraid of the cold at all. She raised her phone and took a photo of the two of them together, then posted it on her WeChat Moments to let Lin Jing and the others know that she was safe. They all thought she had quit after she was injured, but now they knew that she had returned.
Luo Shuyu also admired this spirit of perseverance, saying, "We can't let our guard down just because we have a system and can buy props. We can't go to places that are too high or too dangerous, we can't speed, and we can't get injured."
"I'm just a beginner, you're overthinking it."
Under Luo Shuyu's guidance, Jiang Yiqing slowly paddled down the gentle slope. This sport is very demanding on the knees, but for some reason, she seems to have a natural talent for it.
Soon, the beginner area was no longer enough for her. Jiang Yiqing said, "I want to try a more difficult slope."
"..." Luo Shuyu said, "I'll help you slide."
"How do you hold someone up while skiing?" Jiang Yiqing had seen people being lifted up to ski at the ski resort, but she didn't like it.
Skiing is indeed difficult to catch, but without Luo Shuyu, even if Jiang Yiqing is very talented, she would always fall and would never experience the feeling of flying that she wanted.
When Luo Shuyu helped her up after she fell, her movements were quite skillful. Jiang Yiqing felt a little embarrassed: "You skate by yourself, don't worry about me for now, let me figure it out on my own first."
"That won't do." If she hadn't come with Jiang Yiqing, Luo Shuyu probably wouldn't have come skiing by herself. She walked over, patted the snow off Jiang Yiqing's hat, and said, "Do you really have to experience that feeling?"
If she really wanted to experience it, she could use the system, but Jiang Yiqing still wanted to learn it on her own. Hearing Luo Shuyu say this, it seemed like she had a way.
"Shuyu, do you have a good idea?"
Luo Shuyu raised an eyebrow and said, "I can take you with me."
"I don't want you to hold me, it's too dangerous," Jiang Yiqing said.
"Okay then, put your hands on my waist and lean forward, okay?"
Jiang Yiqing tried this position and found that she was hanging on Luo Shuyu's body. However, it was indeed safer than being hugged because her legs were passed between Luo Shuyu's legs, which meant that all four skis were on the ground.
With his back to the slope, he could look up and see the clear blue sky, the surrounding snow-capped mountains, and even Luo Shuyu's beautiful face. This position felt incredibly safe, like a baby being cradled in a kangaroo's arms.
"Is it really okay?" Jiang Yiqing asked nervously.
“I don’t feel any pressure,” Luo Shuyu said. “But you must hold me tight and never let go, or we’ll both fall badly.”
"Mm." Jiang Yiqing nodded.
Luo Shuyu slid down the ski slope, and the surrounding tourists were surprised to see them and quickly made way for her.
As Luo Shuyu became more familiar with the gliding motion, she glided faster and faster. Jiang Yiqing gradually lost sight of everything except the rapidly changing field of vision. However, Luo Shuyu's presence remained steadfastly at the center of her vision.
That feeling of freedom, like the wind, made her shout out in surprise. She thought, this is the feeling that Yi Qing likes.
"Shuyu, this is so much fun!!!" Jiang Yiqing's voice echoed in the valley between the snow-capped mountains until they landed.
Everyone turned to look, and Luo Shuyu shouted, "If you like it, I'll take you around for the rest of my life and take you anywhere you want to go."
Finally, the two stopped abruptly. Jiang Yiqing was embraced tightly by Luo Shuyu, and fell backward onto the thick snow. Even through their thick clothes, they could feel each other's heartbeats. Jiang Yiqing kissed her lips, enjoying the feeling of her endorphins driving her further away from home.

The newly built Daming Never Sleeps City in the south of the city has become a popular tourist attraction on social media. Not only is it a tourist attraction, but it also provides a venue for weddings free of charge, allowing every girl who wants to get married and have others witness her happy wedding to cosplay as a wise and virtuous princess and enjoy the treatment of a princess getting married.
On this day, Jiang Yiqing wore the wedding dress of a princess of the Ming Dynasty. When she appeared on the tower of the city that never sleeps, which was decorated with three thousand lanterns, in the night, the tourists below the tower burst into cheers.
Countless red Kongming lanterns rose from the ground into the sky, and with the neighing of a horse, another woman dressed in a red wedding dress came galloping from one end of the return carriage road to the other.
Tourists showered Luo Shuyu with flowers, and amidst the rain of petals, Luo Shuyu stopped her horse and softly said to her lover on the tower, "Princess Anxu, will you marry me?"
"Isn't it Princess Xianming? Why is it Princess Anxu?"
“Of course his name is An Xu. It’s cosplay, not that he’s actually going to use his previous name. Don’t you know how to be flexible?”
Passersby were discussing among themselves when they looked up and saw a stunningly beautiful woman holding an embroidered ball inlaid with dazzling jewels, tossing it toward the man on horseback.
"I've received him, he's now my consort!" Jiang Yiqing shouted loudly.
The crowd was momentarily in an uproar, but then they saw that the woman on horseback was incredibly skilled; she was a trained martial artist. She leaped off her horse and, before anyone could react, gathered the embroidered ball into her arms and returned to her horse.
Everyone cheered.
Jiang Yiqing then climbed onto the tower and jumped off in full view of everyone.
"There were wires, right?"
"Of course, otherwise who would jump? Wouldn't they be risking their life?"
As the night deepened, no one could see where the wires were; they only saw the bride dancing gracefully in the air, while the female prince on horseback steered forward, and as the bride landed, she was caught in her arms.
From the city gate's loudspeaker, ancient-style music specially created for this wedding began to play. Accompanied by the magnificent music, Jiang Yiqing and Luo Shuyu toured the Ming Dynasty's Never-Sleeping City on horseback. Wherever they went, they were always followed by thousands of people.
Everyone marveled at the wedding's ingenious creativity and unparalleled grandeur.
Jiang Yiqing and Luo Shuyu rode on horseback for a while, their red dresses flowing down, swaying in the night sky and reflecting off the Kongming lanterns.
Then, they dismounted and came to the painted boat on the lake. As the boat moved forward on the green waves and flower bridge, two rows of children threw candies and red envelopes to the crowd. People on both banks opened their windows to welcome them, and people on the stone road also competed for them.
Jiang Yiqing felt as if she had returned to the place of her birth, but this time, it was even more beautiful than anything she had experienced at birth. With her lover by her side in this life, a bright and prosperous future awaited them.
After landing, the two passed the opera house and entered Lingshu Temple, where they held incense together and made a prayer before the Buddha.
"May my family be at peace, and may my elder sister be well." Jiang Yiqing glanced at Luo Shuyu, who was also looking at her, smiling with her lips pursed. She didn't want to mess up her rouge, but her smile was so beautiful. Jiang Yiqing thought to herself, "May Shuyu and I, day after day, never change our smiles, be forever united, and be bound together for all eternity."
