A cross-century wedding: Three thousand years of sweetness
The osmanthus forests of the demon realm were dyed golden by foxfire. Xiaodou wore a wedding dress woven with sky-swallowing patterns, and the tip of her tail was stained with osmanthus candy that Bai Shenyuan had secretly slipped into her. In the distance, the roar of interstellar battleships could be heard—the candy fleet of Ling Yuan's personality was spelling out the words "Happy Wedding" in the sky, each letter a glowing marshmallow.
"The Concept Rat King's wedding was truly a lively occasion." The fox demon clan elder smiled and wiped away tears, holding honey wine brewed with three-thousand-year-old osmanthus flowers. "Bai Yan's parents didn't live to see this day..."
"Now they can show their love in front of the Heavenly Dao." Xiaodou shook the ring on his claws. The three soul phantoms in the ring were busy directing the guests to take their seats: Bai Yan was tying a bow on Snowball, Lin Shen was adjusting the holographic camera, and Ling Yuan was checking the safety factor of the candy shells.
Bai Shenyuan approached in a color-blocked tuxedo. The left half was a demon-world blue shirt, the right half a modern suit. A corner of his interstellar tactical belt peeked out of his pocket. The tips of his ears were brighter red than cinnabar flowers, and the voices of his three personalities switched nervously:
- Ling Yuan (sternly adjusting his bow tie): "Are those candy bombs really not going to explode?"
- Bai Yan (handing the osmanthus cake): "Let's eat first, the ceremony will take another half an hour~"
- Lin Shen (pushing up his glasses): "The camera has connected to the live broadcast channels of three worlds, with over ten million viewers."
Xiaodou bit into the cake and laughed until tears came out: "You are like a tape recorder with the fast-forward button pressed."
Bai Shenyuan suddenly knelt on one knee, and his three personalities spoke simultaneously: "Xiaodou, from the stone prison of the demon world to the modern classroom, I have traveled three thousand years to finally wait for this day - are you willing to let me spend the rest of my life roasting all the sweets in the world for you?"
The fox demon elder handed over the Concept Rat Clan's wedding rings—two pieces of Xuanbing pudding that could nibble on each other. Just as Xiaodou was about to open his mouth, Bai Yan's personality suddenly chuckled, "Wait, according to the rules of the demon world, we have to exchange vows first."
- Ling Yuan: "I will protect you and the child with my life."
- Bai Yan: "I'll bake three flavors of osmanthus cake for you every day until you get sick of it~"
- Lin Shen: "I designed a wedding bed that can automatically clean up hair, even though you are hairless now..."
The whole audience burst into laughter. Xiaodou wrapped his tail around Bai Shenyuan's wrist, the teardrop mole in the corner of his eye gleaming with gold. "My vow is—" He suddenly bit at the wedding ring, shards of ice splashing on Bai Shenyuan's face. "—to chew you until there's nothing left, so no one can take you away."
Bai Shenyuan was stunned, then he laughed until tears came out, and switched to a gentle voice that was a mixture of three personalities: "Okay, then I'm willing to be gnawed by you for the rest of my life." He also gnawed at the wedding ring, and ice chips and debris from the corners of Xiaodou's mouth condensed into a light pattern of the word "Bai Dou" in the air.
- Interstellar Chapter Ling Yuan: He was driving a candy battleship to scatter flower petals, but accidentally pressed the cannon button, causing a sky full of fancy marshmallows to explode.
- Xiaofang in the 1960s: Holding a calico cat, she brought me some pickled garlic: "I heard you love eating this when you're pregnant~"
- Modern Lin Shen: Launched a concept mouse-themed cake. The red beans and white abyss on the cake move and make a "crunching" sound when chewed.
- Robot Cat: Wearing a bow tie as the MC, a holographic screen suddenly pops up like a dead machine: "Fetal movement detected! Baby Mouse is expected to be born during the wedding~"
Xiaodou suddenly clutched his stomach, feeling a warm current coursing through him—it was Shubao kicking his legs and, incidentally, chewing all the snacks he had hidden. Bai Shenyuan switched to his Lin Shen persona and pulled out a portable maternity kennel (actually, an oversized hamster nest). "Don't be afraid, just follow my instructions..."
"Wait!" Xiaodou grabbed his hand. "I want to give birth under the osmanthus tree, and I want... I want you to name the baby using your three personalities!"
Bai Shenyuan was stunned for a moment, then carried Xiaodou to the osmanthus tree, with Foxfire creating a privacy barrier around him. He gently stroked Xiaodou's forehead, and three gentle voices overlapped:
- Bai Yan: "Let's call it Tanggao, it's as sweet as osmanthus cake~"
- Lin Shen: "The name is named after the interstellar calendar, Shi Yue, which means an encounter across time and space~"
- Ling Yuan: "My nickname is... Little Warrior. Protect Mom and Dad from now on."
Xiaodou was amused, but at this moment, Shubao was suddenly born, turning into a ray of starlight and falling into Bai Shenyuan's palm - it was a furry little mouse with the rune "sweet" on the center of its paw and a half-eaten wedding ring wrapped around its tail.
At the end of the wedding, the messenger of heaven suddenly arrived, but he did not bring the genocide blade, but held a box of chocolates: "I tried the osmanthus cake last time and found that sweetness can really heal everything... This is my gift."
Xiaodou raised an eyebrow: "Are you not afraid of heaven's punishment?"
The messenger smiled bitterly: "You have rewritten the way of heaven into a 'sweet way'. Now even the thunder tribulations have a strawberry flavor."
Late at night, Bai Shenyuan sat on the roof of Yunshen Residence, holding Xiaodou. Tanggao rolled between them, rubbing the starlight from the tip of his tail all over the pillow. Goodnight wishes came from all over the world. A mechanical cat played "Star Mouse Baby Lullaby" for Tanggao. Snowball squatted on the windowsill, licking his paws. "Hey, hair-shedding monster, don't let your kids chew on my bow again."
Bai Shenyuan chuckled and kissed Xiaodou's forehead: "After three thousand years of waiting, we finally got the sweetness that belongs to us."
Xiaodou looked at the candy cake in his arms, then at the starry sky, and suddenly remembered the ancient legend of the Concept Mouse Clan - when the love between the Guardian and the Concept Mouse illuminates all time and space, sweet flowers will grow in every corner of the universe.
He held Bai Shenyuan's hand tightly and made a silent wish in his heart: In the next adventure, I will also experience all the sweetness with you.
