Chapter 231 Stirring up a pool of spring water
The Taiwei Palace was silent. The servants and maids had been dismissed. Inside the inner hall, two people lay on a couch, their eyes closed, healing their wounds. The room was filled with the pure, ethereal fragrance of incense mingling with the calming aroma emanating from the burner...
After completing his routine treatment, Chang Hao was no longer unable to control himself and fell into a deep sleep. His injuries had greatly improved. Thinking of the Yue Lao Palace that had appeared in response to the will of Heaven, he reached out to Yuan Shi to ask for the Book of Marriage, which was a gift from Zhen Yuanzi.
Yuan Shi didn't want to take it out, so he put his own hand on it and took the initiative to grasp Chang Hao's outstretched hand. "Can we wait a little longer? I haven't managed to write our names on it yet."
"Write?" Chang Hao couldn't help but roll his eyes at Yuan Shi, and ruthlessly slapped Yuan Shi's restless hand down. No wonder Yuan Shi casually put the marriage book into his sleeve. "Your wishful thinking is a bit too fast."
"Fast? If you ask me, it's too slow," Yuanshi said with a look of regret. "I don't know why, even if the name was wrong before, Lu Ya couldn't be written on it." He even tried several innate spiritual treasures, but none of them worked.
"It would be strange if it could be written down. Nowadays, marriage between men and women is all the rage, and we have never heard of marriage between men and women. How can it be written down?" Chang Hao thought of the Rabbit God who was in charge of marriage between men and women and appeared very late. It was probably only at that time that the branch of marriage between men and women would appear.
Chang Hao patted Yuan Shi on the shoulder, offering temporary comfort, and then prepared to get up from the Fusang couch. "You can wait patiently. The human race is a magical race. Their will can change the Heavenly Dao. One day, the Heavenly Dao will also change. When the god in charge of male-male marriages appears, everything will be fine."
With a single finger, Chang Hao directed Yuanshi's hopes to an unknown future, and Yuanshi clearly heard the sarcasm and teasing in his words.
"You heartless little devil, don't you even know who's been working so hard to heal you? You actually created a god's position to mock me," Yuanshi grabbed Chang Hao and left him on the bed. What god who specializes in male-male marriages? There's no such god's position at all. "Don't leave, lie down with me for a bit. I'll sleep with you tonight, okay?"
Whether Chang Hao was sleeping soundly in his arms or the two of them were lying quietly together, Yuan Shi was captivated.
Chang Hao was used to resting with his eyes closed or letting himself fall asleep on his bed when the night was deep. If they could sleep in the same bed, Yuan Shi would change his habit and sleep with him.
Chang Hao was shocked and kicked Yuan Shi down...
What marriage register? I can't remember anything about it...
Yuanshi was caught off guard and almost made a fool of himself. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Even after standing on the cold jade ground, Yuanshi was still confused. What did he say wrong?
Chang Hao immediately realized that this was no longer the palace where he had lived as a puppet emperor, but the Taiwei Yuqing Palace in the Heavenly Court. The person in front of him was Yuanshi, not the despicable powerful minister. He quietly put his hand back where it had been clenching in front of his robe, and almost drew his sword...
Chang Hao stood up and patted the spotless front of Yuan Shi's shirt, feeling guilty. "Did you hurt yourself?"
"You kicked me..." Yuanshi's eyes were deep and dark. Chang Hao didn't use any magic power, so it didn't hurt at all. It was just like being tickled. Now, Chang Hao's fair hand was rubbing against his chest, which brought a different kind of numbness.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to," Chang Hao realized he had overreacted, and Yuan Shi was also innocent. "How about you kick him back?"
A sly glint flashed in Yuan Shi's eyes as he quietly pulled Chang Hao into his arms. "How could I bear to kick you? You must have said something wrong to make you angry."
Chang Hao felt even more guilty. This kick was an undeserved disaster for Yuan Shi. He pulled Yuan Shi down slightly and gently pecked him on the cheek. "Alright, it was my fault. Don't be angry."
Yuan Shi smiled gently, knowing when to stop, his aloofness beginning to melt away. "Hmm, I'm not angry." He wasn't angry to begin with.
Yuan Shi's eyelashes fluttered slightly, a deep thought flashing through his mind. He must have inadvertently said something terrible just now, otherwise Chang Hao wouldn't have reacted so strongly...
What is it?
Yuanshi was deep in thought. Meanwhile, Tongtian quietly sneaked into the Heavenly Court. Although he didn't know which palace Changhao was in, he only needed to look at the aura to know where to go.
Upon entering Taiwei Palace, Tongtian released his aura. As long as Chang Hao sensed it and was not healing, he could enter without worrying about disturbing Chang Hao.
Yuanshi's face turned slightly pale. Why had Tongtian come here? He glanced at the sky again; it wasn't yet the time his elder brother had insisted he return to Kunlun Mountain…
So, Tongtian, what brings you here?
Chang Hao broke free from Yuan Shi's embrace, quickly straightened his clothes, and Yuan Shi put on his own boots and brought Chang Hao the Three Lights Cloud Boots.
Without a second thought, Chang Hao lifted his foot, landed, lifted his foot again, and landed again. The San Guang Yun Boots were now firmly on his feet, and Chang Hao didn't even bend his back.
Once he was dressed, it suddenly dawned on him that the one who had helped him put on his shoes wasn't the little fairy who always served him, but Yuanshi...
Chang Hao hurriedly smoothed out Yuan Shi's disheveled clothes, his hands trembling with excitement. Only after he had finished tidying up did he realize that Yuan Shi wasn't having an affair; he was properly healing his wounds!
Sullenly, Chang Hao leaned back on the couch and glared at Yuan Shi. He was indeed feeling guilty. It was all Yuan Shi's fault for stirring up trouble.
Yuanshi opened the door with an unfriendly expression, his face contorted with irritation. "Why are you here?"
This younger brother is no good; he'll ruin his plans.
Tongtian walked past him, too lazy to even look at his second brother's cold face. "Chang Hao, I brought Kong Xuan and the others to play with the little golden crows. Why don't you let the little golden crows out to play with us? The cubs can't be kept locked up all the time."
"Tongtian, you've put your heart into this." Chang Hao smiled like a spring flower in full bloom, and secretly sent a telepathic message to the heavenly soldiers guarding the main hall to open the doors wide, and to have the maids set out fine wines and immortal fruits in the inner hall.
Tongtian smiled slowly. "That's good. This is a true brother." He didn't recognize the thousand-year-old ice sculpture at the entrance.
A maidservant gracefully entered, gently placed down fine wine, offered celestial fruits, and slowly retreated. The aroma of wine and the fragrance of celestial fruits permeated the warm hall. If only the gentle strains of stringed instruments and graceful dancing were missing, it would be the perfect way to entertain guests.
Yuan Shi's expression was extremely unpleasant.
"Second Brother, it's time for you to leave." Tongtian downed the fine wine in his cup in one gulp, urging Yuanshi, who stood between them like a statue, to hurry up.
“There’s still time…” Yuanshi lingered, unwilling to leave. With Tongtian here, how could he leave with peace of mind? If he wasn’t careful, Tongtian might dig a hole for him that he couldn’t fill.
Tongtian shrugged. He had already warned his second brother that if his second brother didn't reply, his eldest brother's anger wouldn't be his fault.
“Chang Hao, you really know how to enjoy life,” Tongtian sighed, placing the Hetu Luoshu, which he had been carefully keeping, on the table. “I’ve never had the chance to return them to you.”
Chang Hao looked slightly stunned, then sadly picked up the Hetu Luoshu, "Thank you..."
