Chapter 92 Ninety-Two Cuts "Why aren't you married yet?"...
Luo Mingshu thought Xie Changming would be reserved, but he wasn't. He just tilted his head and said confidently, "No."
She originally intended to push his head away, but Xie Changming's head was so fluffy that she couldn't help but stroke it a couple more times.
“We’re going to the Little Heavenly Realm today,” Luo Mingshu said to Xie Changming. “You can’t stay here any longer.”
Xie Changming rolled over and stood up, transforming back into his human form. He nodded to Luo Mingshu and said, "Okay."
After discussing their departure, Xie Changming casually grasped Luo Mingshu's hand as they left the Yuling Sect.
Luo Mingshu tried to shake him off, but couldn't, so she just let him be.
Upon arriving outside the Lesser Celestial Realm, Luo Mingshu spotted several familiar figures in the distance—her former teammates and opponents who had queued with her in the Misty Star Sea.
In the middle, there was even a demon mixed in. Wen Yu stood next to Shui Qingnian—he seemed to have long accepted Shui Qingnian's identity as a demon.
Moreover, even the mysterious Amo appeared here; above the sea of clouds, a human figure faintly appeared.
Amo said embarrassedly, "Actually, I was too lazy to come, but I found that your Yingtian Palace was making a lot of money."
Luo Mingshu confirmed that everyone had arrived, and Lu Yaoyao had already handed over the token that controlled the land of the Misty Star Sea to Luo Mingshu.
As long as they are all here, this place is a complete miniature heaven.
Having gained experience from her previous work at Yingtian Palace, Luo Mingshu found writing the business plan much easier. However, while Xie Changming had been quiet and uninhibited in her previous work, this time, with several partners who were very opinionated, her hands began to tremble as she wrote the plan.
"I think the 'Don't underestimate a young person' storyline should be the main hidden storyline..."
"That 'white moonlight' and her double—such an exciting plot, how could it not be the main storyline?"
Luo Mingshu was driven crazy by their constant chatter, but she took it upon herself to delete the storyline between her and the Supreme Immortal Lord and replace it with a storyline about a genius cultivation girl's rise to power.
Because while other people's storylines might be fictionalized by Misty Starry Sea, only hers more or less reflects her lost memories.
Fortunately, their opinions were pertinent, and some of their suggestions were ingenious, so Luo Mingshu accepted them, and the new plan became more comprehensive.
Originally, after the plan was completed, it was to be handed over to Xie Changming to create a control array group, but this time, Xie Changming had more helpers.
"I can help." Amo's strength was actually above the Ascension level, otherwise he wouldn't have been matched with Wei Qing.
With help from others, Xie Changming was happy to have an easier time, and soon the new experience project in the Little Heavenly Realm was completed.
On the day of the open experience, many cultivators came to participate. Lu Yaoyao finally appeared with her "system". After the system's primordial spirit was restored, it turned out to be a handsome immortal.
Unable to resist her curiosity, Luo Mingshu secretly asked Lu Yaoyao, "How did you two meet?"
“It’s someone I met before. Back then, I hadn’t even started cultivating yet, while he was already a cultivator about to ascend.” Lu Yaoyao said to Luo Mingshu shyly, “I promised him that I would cultivate diligently and meet him in the Heavenly Realm in the future. But as soon as he ascended, he was ambushed by the former Western Realm Immortal Lord.”
“I still remember him, so when the system chose me, I recognized him. Although I don’t know why he became like this, I still want to save him.” Lu Yaoyao lowered her head and said shyly, “I’m sorry, Senior Sister Luo, I know this isn’t good for you, but he…”
"Alright, I understand. This matter is over, there's no need to mention it again," Luo Mingshu interrupted Lu Yaoyao.
After all, the final capture of the Western Realm Immortal Lord was inseparable from Lu Yaoyao's cooperation.
She didn't speak to Lu Yaoyao anymore, but turned around and went to find Xie Changming.
"Where is my Divine Bone Wood?" Luo Mingshu asked Xie Changming.
"You sent it back to the Demon Realm, so it's currently sitting there," Xie Changming replied. After he took possession of the Divine Bone Wood, there was no possibility of it being revived. Even if he replanted it, it would not grow or bloom again.
Its ultimate destiny, indeed, can only be like that of Luo Mingshu, to become a piece of furniture.
Of course, Xie Changming never imagined that Luo Mingshu would turn it into a bed.
"Give it back to me." Luo Mingshu said matter-of-factly, stretching out her hand to Xie Changming.
“I’ve returned it to you,” Xie Changming said. “If you need it, you can come to Demon Realm.”
"I paid for this, and you want to keep it without paying me?" Luo Mingshu asked, raising an eyebrow. "I'm going to put it back in the wasteland."
Xie Changming thought about it and agreed. If it was to be placed in a desolate place, then it would be fine, because he had never been there before—Luo Mingshu's real home.
A few days ago, Luo Mingshu moved all her belongings from Shuixijian there, and she decorated the place beautifully all by herself.
In the center of the desolate land, she built a cave dwelling that was no less magnificent than a stream. She placed all her collections from the past years in the cave dwelling, and now she only lacked one large piece of furniture—a bed made of divine bone wood.
The desolate land has a unique environment, so treasures stored here will not be damaged, which Luo Mingshu likes very much.
The stream in the desolate land was still shrouded in mist, and as Xie Changming walked in, he had the urge to shake his head and get rid of the water droplets.
After he placed the divine bone wood bed in Luo Mingshu's room, Luo Mingshu glanced at him and said, "Why are you still afraid of water?"
Xie Changming, however, was quite frank: "It's just my nature."
Luo Mingshu tapped her toes on the ground: "You think you can be my Daoist partner like this?"
"I'm not afraid of water," Xie Changming said.
Luo Mingshu stared at him intently: "Xie Changming, are you sure?"
“Confirmed,” Xie Changming said.
Luo Mingshu tugged at his hand: "I think I need to test your swimming skills tonight."
Xie Changming's little wolf tail wagged, and just as he indicated that he could show it now, Wen Yu transmitted his voice to say that the Little Heavenly Realm experience program had ended and there was a celebratory banquet that they needed to attend.
Luo Mingshu couldn't understand why there would be fish head tofu stew at the banquet she hosted herself.
Xie Changming sat down next to her and, seeing Luo Mingshu's sullen expression, suggested, "If you're not going to eat, I will."
"I'll eat." Luo Mingshu moved the soup bowl over.
Soon after, the truth behind the fish head tofu stew appearing at the banquet was revealed.
Wen Yu leaned closer and said to Xie Changming, "Master, are you satisfied with the dishes I specially added tonight?"
Luo Mingshu almost spat out the fish soup in her mouth. So it was you, the one who sealed her heart and locked away her love.
"Not bad." Xie Changming glanced at him. "Speak if you have something to say."
"Lord, could you go to the Demon Realm to propose marriage on my behalf?" Wen Yu asked nervously, rubbing his hands together.
"Why should I go?" Xie Changming, who was over three hundred years old, asked Wen Yu, who was eight hundred years old.
"The Demon Emperor of the Demon Realm... ah, that's my future father-in-law. He'll probably beat someone up after hearing this news, and I can't beat him," Wen Yu said sadly.
"Oh yes, if he knew this, he'd burn you to ashes." Xie Changming agreed with his statement.
"So, is that okay?" Wen Yu asked expectantly.
Xie Changming glanced at Luo Mingshu's hand stirring the fish soup out of the corner of his eye and said decisively, "No, because I'm not married yet."
"Your Excellency!" Wen Yu looked at Luo Mingshu and said with great distress, "You can't do this! I don't think you'll succeed within a hundred years."
Luo Mingshu pretended not to hear, but after Wen Yu left, she received a message from Shui Qingnian.
[The ultra-cold princess: Luo Mingshu, why aren't you married yet?]
[A 300-year-old beauty with a water-like spiritual root is incredibly gullible: ?]
[A 300-year-old beauty with a "water spirit root" is incredibly gullible: "Are you alright?"]
She never expected to be pressured to get married. Of course, she felt that marrying Xie Changming wasn't a bad idea either.
But she's wicked; she enjoys the feeling of keeping Xie Changming hanging on, and of course, Xie Changming enjoys it too.
That evening, the banquet ended, symbolizing that the operation of Little Heavenly Realm had officially entered a normal track.
Because the fish head tofu stew was so delicious, Luo Mingshu accidentally drank a little too much fruit wine, and now she felt dizzy.
Xie Changming didn't drink; he helped Luo Mingshu walk towards the stream in the desolate land.
Under the moonlight, Luo Mingshu turned her head and looked at his handsome profile. In her hazy state, she remembered when she was still a little dragon, she kissed Xie Changming, but he actually dared to say that she bit him.
Out of anger, Luo Mingshu suddenly stopped and grabbed Xie Changming's sleeve.
"Changming," Luo Mingshu called to him.
Xie Changming was taken aback; Luo Mingshu hadn't used that form of address to him in a long time.
His tail emerged from under his clothes and wagged happily. He replied, "What's wrong?"
Luo Mingshu tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek, her soft lips landing on his skin.
"I'll bite you," she said to him seriously.
Xie Changming was stunned for a moment, and then Luo Mingshu exclaimed in surprise because his arm had wrapped around her waist.
He held her in his arms. Luo Mingshu was not petite, but in the arms of the tall Xie Changming, it felt as if her whole body was enveloped by him.
Xie Changming leaned in and kissed Luo Mingshu's lips. His small canine teeth brushed against her lips, as if he were taking a bite, or as if they were a tender caress expressing his love.
Luo Mingshu, who loves water, had never experienced drowning in her life, but during Xie Changming's wet and tender deep kisses, she felt the suffocating sensation of being overwhelmed by waves for the first time.
Her breath trembled gently, like a rising string. After a long while, Luo Mingshu punched Xie Changming's shoulder.
Xie Changming's kiss moved away from her lips, and he stared intently at Luo Mingshu, his expression extremely serious.
"So, are you getting married?" he asked.
Luo Mingshu retorted stubbornly, "Does a kiss mean we can get married?"
Xie Changming pecked her twice more: "You can kiss me a few more times."
Luo Mingshu had already sobered up; the sweet aroma of the wine only lingered between their pressed skin.
“Okay,” she said to him.
——
Of course, the final ceremony for their marriage was an unprecedented event in the world of cultivation.
On the day of the marriage ceremony, even reclusive big shots such as the Demon God who had once fled into the Misty Star Sea and the former Demon Lord appeared. Given Luo Mingshu's flamboyant nature, it was natural that the entire cultivation world would know that she was getting married.
The Demon Realm and the Wasteland, the Demon Lord and Yinglong—the two seem to be of equal status, but in reality, they have absolutely no connection.
A curious monk asked, "How did they know each other?"
The knowledgeable cultivator recounted in a reminiscing tone, "The whole thing started with a battle of wits between the most argumentative people on the Four Directions Water Mirror."
However, both parties denied this.
Because they knew that their encounter more than three hundred years ago stemmed from an accident, but in the cold heavens at that time, they were each other's only source of warmth.
