On a remote mountain slope in the eastern suburbs of Beijing, a newlywed couple danced joyfully.
Seeing Zheng Ya's joyful celebration after tricking her, Xu Qi was both happy and angry as she chased after him, saying, "You're clearly a little scoundrel!"
"You shameless rascal! I'm so glad we're married! Please guide me for the rest of my life, my lady. I'm here to greet you!" Zheng Ya stepped onto a protruding rock on the downhill slope, turned around, and bowed.
It looks like a married couple bowing to each other.
There was no other way; the protruding rock was too high, and it just happened to be level with Xu Qi's position on the hillside.
They were less than three meters apart, and the setting sun made the scene of the two bowing to heaven and earth even more striking.
Of course, Xu Qi bowed down because Zheng Ya had played a trick. He had bent a shrub branch at lightning speed and placed it across Xu Qi's waist, then tied the other end of the branch to a tree trunk on the other side, creating a horizontal bar to block Xu Qi.
Xu Qi was caught off guard and ended up marrying him.
Xu Qi was immediately embarrassed and scolded him repeatedly: "You bad man, you scoundrel, you're too bad!"
"Madam, daughter-in-law, do you acknowledge me as your husband, your master?" Zheng Ya took out his family heirloom necklace and proposed to her, holding it in his hands.
In fact, the Zheng family's heirlooms are a set of earrings and bracelets passed down from their ancestors.
However, these days it's not fashionable to wear such jewelry.
Zheng Ya then stored this set of jewelry in his special ability space. Through the processing of his soul and will, and with the stimulation and nourishment of consuming 1,000 each of negative and righteous values, it formed the Eternal Bond Necklace.
Two additional wedding rings were designed, also in the style of eternal love.
Holding them together in the palm of your hand, bathed in the setting sun, they radiate a dazzling, iridescent glow, a truly beautiful sight.
Xu Qi had never seen a marriage proposal like this before, and she was so moved that she cried on the spot. As a descendant of a knowledgeable scholarly family, she was so excited that she pulled out her marriage certificate and a lock of hair from her inner pocket and said, "Husband, my dear husband, please guide me for the rest of my life!"
"Haha, the marriage certificate is all ready. Tell me, did you plan this all along?" Zheng Ya was shocked. He jumped off the protruding rock and stepped forward to confront him.
Although I don't understand what it means for Xu Qi to take out a lock of hair, I know there's a deeper meaning behind it.
Xu Qi lowered her head reproachfully and explained, "You are my nemesis from a past life."
I've been dragged into this mess ever since I met you yesterday morning.
You made me a mistress in the village, which aroused the resentment and coercion of more than 30 unmarried men in the village. As a result, the old village chief dared not offend the public and tacitly agreed to let them force me to choose a man to marry.
I genuinely didn't fancy any of the villagers, so I pretended to give in and got the old village chief to issue a marriage certificate. Once I got the certificate, I was free.
"Who I marry is my decision, understand?"
"Wife, what did you call me?"
"You, my husband, this is so embarrassing, please stop making things difficult for me, okay?"
"Haha, that's more like it. Come here, my wife, let me put the Eternal Love Necklace on your finger. We'll put the wedding ring on you after we're officially married." Zheng Ya saw that she was shy and blushing, so he didn't press her any further.
Xu Qi lowered her head shyly, letting him help her put on the necklace, her heart overflowing with sweetness: "This, this necklace must be very valuable, right?"
"No matter how valuable the necklace is, it can't compare to you, you know?" Zheng Ya tenderly cupped her oval face in his hands and declared affectionately.
A declaration of love is that simple and straightforward.
But the words resonated deep within Xu Qi's heart, and she said, her body trembling, "Yes, I wish this moment could last forever..."
"No, this moment is already etched in our hearts; it is merely an inspiration for our journey toward a happy life!"
From this moment on, we will share life and death, support each other through thick and thin, and remain forever! Zheng Ya chose her as his wife and had the intention of guiding her to awaken her supernatural abilities and cultivate to travel to the Qian Yuan Continent.
If even martial artists cannot awaken superpowers, then it's possible that no one in this world can awaken superpowers at all.
This is secondary.
The main issue is that Zheng Ya possesses three special abilities: planning, time, and space. Assisting Xu Qi in awakening his special ability shouldn't be a problem.
Among them, spatial abilities are all-encompassing. No matter what abilities Xu Qi's physique can awaken, they are all triggered and awakened under the compatibility of spatial abilities.
The ability to time can accelerate the birth and awakening of superpowers.
Or perhaps we could rewind to a point in time when Xu Qi was ready to awaken his special abilities.
The planning ability has development potential.
It possesses a mysterious power to help people develop their inherent abilities and potential, even their creative potential, which are just waiting to be discovered and explored.
Therefore, Zheng Ya's decision to choose Xu Qi as his wife was made after careful consideration.
After all, for Zheng Ya, returning to the Qian Yuan Continent would likely mean facing the city lord's annihilation. To avenge his son, he had no choice but to devise a countermeasure.
As the saying goes, "He who does not plan for the future will have trouble in the present."
Planning before acting, Zheng Ya Chang envisioned developing a family, leading it to a powerful return to the Qian Yuan Continent, and crushing all who dared to challenge him.
Therefore, Xu Qi became Zheng Ya's first choice for a partner and for trying to awaken his supernatural abilities.
Xu Qi was unaware of the details, but she was deeply moved by his sincere confession, and with a slight tremor in her voice, she said, "Husband, it's so good to have you!"
"Yes, that's right, we've been husband and wife for countless lifetimes!" Zheng Ya boasted shamelessly, causing Xu Qi to roll her eyes: "Stop bragging!"
I don't ask for a next life, I only ask for what I have now!
Here, this is a lock of hair my father cut off when I turned sixteen and came of age. I will only give it to my husband for the rest of my life.
According to ancient custom, this lock of hair was used to tie up the hair!
"Wow, there's such a thing as a particular way of doing things!"
"Alright, this is my father-in-law's heartfelt wish, I'll accept it!" Zheng Ya was greatly surprised and learned something.
In later TV dramas, a lock of hair was cut off and tied together at the wedding, then placed in an urn to complete the ceremony of marriage, officially becoming husband and wife, which was the ritual of marrying a wife.
I never imagined that a lock of hair I cut when I came of age would be used to tie my hair at my wedding?
At present, Zheng Ya has a buzz cut and has no hair left to cut. Otherwise, he would have tied Xu Qi's hair in a knot. It is destined that he will not be able to fulfill Xu Qi's father's spiritual sustenance.
Xu Qi didn't mind: "Let's go, it's time to go back!"
"Alright, let's go home and consummate our marriage..." Zheng Ya teased, making Xu Qi chase after him with her fists.
The two jokingly returned to the tavern, and before they even got out of the car, they were greeted by a large group of people: "Hey, is this a wild rabbit you hired to hunt?"
"Cadre Fan, you're just making excuses because you're afraid of losing..." Xu Huizhen came out of the tavern to help out, she really couldn't stand Fan Jinyou's behavior.
This guy would fawn over any pretty woman he saw, and he even set his sights on Cheng Xueru, who worked at a clothing store, and put a lot of effort into pursuing her.
Zheng Ya caught a glimpse of Fan Jinyou's jealous expression and sidelong glance, and laughed, "Hey, you can talk, but don't try to scam me..."
"Get out of the way, I need to use the restroom..." Fan Jinyou couldn't hold it in any longer, but Zheng Ya stopped him on the street in front of the tavern: "Are you trying to make a show of going to the bathroom?"
No way, using the bathroom excuse is just that—an excuse. Don't even think about sneaking away. If the men look down on you and you try to renege on your debts or stage an accident later, who's going to be responsible…?
