Mandarin ducks intertwine their necks, vowing to live a thousand years; zither and lute play in harmony, wishing for a hundred years.
When Su Linyuan woke up again, he found himself back in his own body.
In the hazy, chaotic scene, what gradually came into focus was Zhu Yi's sweaty cheeks and the soft, moist touch of her hair.
He and Zhu Yi lay side by side in a confined space, with the little girl sleeping soundly on his chest.
Pink imprints of peach blossom petals shimmered on her fair skin, only three or four scattered across her skin, clearly visible from a distance.
He gently stroked her hair, his nose carefully caressing Zhu Yi's forehead.
"Yi'er, I should have prepared your red wedding dress sooner."
His hand paused, his gaze lingering as if he had seen something unsettling, and then he helplessly lowered his hand.
"What's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell?" The girl woke up with a soft, sweet voice.
Zhu Yi, on the other hand, acted very openly and frankly, which made Su Linyuan feel a little uncomfortable.
She reached out to examine Su Linyuan's forehead; it was no longer as hot as before, but instead, his fair cheeks had a rosy glow.
"Great! You look completely better! Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
The girl's eyes were like water, her gentle whispers were as graceful as a lotus flower, and within the space of the Bodhi leaf, there was a subtle and unusual fragrance.
Su Linyuan was thrilled. "Very good. When we get back, I will go to Master Yujing to apologize!"
"Huh? What crime?"
"It's just... I accidentally fell into a trap..." Su Linyuan's words were simple.
He stammered that he felt ashamed for consummating his marriage with Zhu Yi so hastily without any proper etiquette, and that he wanted to return to his sect to ask Master Yujing to preside over the ceremony so that the two of them could worship heaven and earth together and become Daoist partners.
Without thinking much, Zhu Yi snuggled into Su Linyuan's arms and said, "I'm so tired, Brother Linyuan. I didn't expect you to be so strong when you were weak. You've made me not want to move."
She was like an adorable cat, rolling over and nuzzling her master, affectionately stamping every part of Su Linyuan's body with her own mark.
Even though the two were so intimate, Su Linyuan still felt a little uncomfortable.
There's always a slight sense of guilt, like when I was a child and my parents disciplined me for doing something wrong.
He gently turned over and hugged Zhu Yi tightly, opening his mouth but ultimately saying nothing.
Zhu Yi felt his uneasy heart pounding in her arms, and then in the silence between them, she heard Su Linyuan's magnetic voice solemnly say, "May we be husband and wife in every life, and continue our unfinished bond in the next."
She smiled and said, "This life isn't even over yet, why are you already looking forward to the next life?"
However, it seems that this person is a very good person in this life.
As the passion subsided and she fell asleep, she clearly felt him carefully wiping and cleaning her body.
Such a thoughtful man, I suppose she would want to be with him in her next life too?
Even in his most infatuated moments, he could still suppress the surging, turbulent emotions within him and advance little by little in a way that she could accept.
Zhu Yi suddenly felt a little annoyed. What was this? She was being led by the nose by him, and she didn't even have a chance to take the initiative!
As the sun began to set in the west, the light from the Buddhist lamps spilled across the entire courtyard like scattered silver.
The blue-tailed merman strutted around arrogantly, while a row of green-faced, fanged zombies surrounded the houses, frightening the nearby residents so much that they dared not take a single step forward. However, the abbot of Luohan Temple only glanced at them before leaving!
"Look, those fangs, they can suck blood!"
"Hurry up and go home! Be careful they don't bite you!"
The children scattered at his command, some of the bolder ones even arguing with the old man, saying, "They've been here all day, and they haven't bitten anyone, have they?"
"Besides, the master chef said that as long as we don't disturb them, we won't get bitten!"
The old man was so angry with the brat that he was about to say something when suddenly everything went black, his ears started ringing, and a large black-spotted python appeared out of nowhere at his feet, surrounded by several colorful little snakes rustling around him!
"Quick, run!" The old man tried his best to protect the children behind him, but unexpectedly, the python flicked its tail and coiled them far away!
"Aaaaah!" The children's cries of agony came from all directions.
"Husband, you too, they're just a few children, why did you have to tease them?" Su's mother got off the big black python and asked with some concern, "They didn't fly too far, did they?"
With a flick of its thick tail, the giant black python transformed itself, revealing its true form. The man dressed in black, exuding a gentlemanly air, was now revealed. He said with some displeasure, "Those kids were too noisy. I was just using illusion magic to scare them. Who knew those kids, who seem so brave and prone to causing trouble, would be so timid?"
"Alright, then remember to bring them all back tomorrow morning, after all, it was Yuan'er who occupied their house."
Father Su seemed rather nonchalant, his gaze falling on the small house that the monks had found. He said jokingly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I've found them a good place to rest for the night. I guarantee they'll be healthy and live longer!"
