Chapter 92 nodded in confusion.
The old ancestor was determined to die.
There is a very simple ceremony for forming a celestial couple.
The male and female immortals go together to the Marriage Matching Platform, each picking a vine of love, tying them into a knot, writing their names on it, and hanging it on the Marriage Matching Tree at the platform. This is equivalent to a man and woman in the human world exchanging tokens to confirm their partnership.
Duan Jiuyou wanted to become a celestial couple with Dijiang, but Dijiang's idea was to take it one step at a time and have Jiuyou marry him directly.
"You've been married to several immortal partners already, it's all rather boring. You've never actually gotten married yet, don't you want to give it a try?"
Di Jiang was mild-mannered, and when he made his suggestion, he had just handed Duan Jiuyou a piece of almond cake.
Duan Jiuyou thought this person was probably crazy, and asked in return with a puzzled look.
"Who would get married out of curiosity? We have a long life ahead of us, let's be immortal couples first and then consider marriage."
Di Jiang leaned against her, his mind full of schemes. He seemed nonchalant, but in reality, he was coaxing her gently: "If we simply become immortal couples, wouldn't we be just like Zhao Fengchen and the others? You didn't know what love was before, and you used it to amuse yourself. Now that you've fallen in love, things will naturally be different. Besides, we've lived together since we met, almost inseparable. That's practically the same as being married."
Jiuyou still felt it was too fast. During her experience in the human world, she often heard people say that marriage must be approached with utmost care: "Marrying the wrong person will be a nightmare!"
She mumbled something incoherently, vaguely remembering how, when she was a maid in the mortal world, the head maid had often told her about the difficulties of marriage.
"At first, everything is fine. You're deeply in love and your feelings are strong. But as time goes on, the man who was once willing to go through fire and water for you will change completely. He'll become lazy and wicked, and he won't even pick up a fallen oil bottle. If he's fickle, he'll go out and philander. If he has some money in his pocket, it'll be even worse! He'll bring back two or three concubines, making the wife suffer every day!"
She recounted what the nanny had told her, which amused Emperor Jiang.
"You won't help an oil bottle that's fallen over? I won't help one now, and I've never asked you to help one. If it really falls over one day, there will be plenty of servants to help. Why would you and I need to lift a finger? Besides, as for being fickle, the Wilderness Clan doesn't have the concept of concubines. They only marry one wife in their lifetime. If you die, I'll stay by your side; if you live, I'll stay with you. What is there to be uneasy about?"
Duan Jiuyou said, "Even so, it's still too fast. I just decided to be with you, and less than half an hour later you're already clamoring to get married. After that, are you planning to have children? You're too impatient. I need to slow down and sort out my thoughts."
Di Jiang thought to himself: What's the point of reasoning? You keep changing your mind, and in the end you won't be on good terms with me anymore. Who am I supposed to reason with then? You have no parents, so I don't even have a place to complain to.
But he said, “Child, there’s no rush. There are still four seasons, aren’t there? Let’s raise her well first, and then give her younger siblings in a few decades or even a hundred years.”
9game was somewhat surprised.
"You're thinking that far ahead?"
Di Jiang looked displeased and turned his head to glance at her.
"Life is all about looking forward. Instead of thinking about the future with me, you're fixated on the present. Do you really think I'm just here to amuse you?"
Duan Jiuyou found it amusing: "Who would dare to amuse themselves with you? Go ask around the thirty-six divine mountains of the Heavenly Realm, who doesn't fear the might of the Lord of the Great Wilderness? I wouldn't dare."
"If you don't have the guts, why did you provoke me?"
Duan Jiuyou looked at the Emperor Jiang, who had turned black into white: "Who provoked whom first?"
He was the one who seduced her first, saying she had no emotional ties and that he would help her repair them. He even tricked her into taking a small pill, all to make her fall in love with him!
Thinking of this, Duan Jiuyou couldn't help but feel annoyed, poking Di Jiang's forehead and asking, "What kind of medicine did you give me before?"
"What medicine?" Di Jiang couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't play dumb! It's the medicine that replenished my love essence before. It's such a small pill, and it makes me feel hot after taking it. It's really strange! Aren't you afraid it will make me sick?"
"Hot?" Di Jiang's smile deepened; he had never seen such a muddle-headed woman.
He said, "It has nothing to do with the medicine. You feel hot even without taking medicine. Don't believe me? Let's try it."
He smiled and leaned closer, but Duan Jiuyou shrank back and dodged. Di Jiang kissed her cheek, and she scolded him for being indecent, her face full of unconscious shyness.
He loved her like this the most. He leaned forward and whispered sweet nothings, the most intimate words of love between lovers. After a long and winding journey, he finally kissed her red lips.
Originally, I only intended to have a casual fling and tease this silly little man, but I didn't expect my lust to surge like a tide, and once I was aroused, it stirred up a thousand waves.
She had always been a diligent and studious child. He taught her and guided her, and over time he even trained a good apprentice.
She began to respond, tracing his lips, exploring with her tongue, even kissing her way up his chin to his Adam's apple. Di Jiang let out a low sigh of impatience, grabbed her arm and wrapped it around his neck, then rolled over and pinned her beneath him.
Beneath the thin fabric, both of their bodies were burning hot! He wanted nothing more than to crush her, his eyes filled with an inescapable lust.
"Are you hot?" he asked softly in her ear.
Her face flushed crimson; how could she possibly respond? The candlelight still shone, illuminating her shy, spring-like expression with vivid clarity.
He was amused by her shyness, buried his face in her shoulder and chuckled softly. Her warm breath tickled his neck, making him tremble with a ticklish feeling.
Duan Jiuyou couldn't remember how she finally agreed to marry him. She only remembered that he had been nagging her with sweet words that night, and she was so charmed by him that she nodded unconsciously.
...
The wedding preparations began the day after Duan Jiuyou agreed to the marriage. The people in the abandoned house were busy as bees, and busy figures could be seen everywhere.
Duan Jiuyou and the disciples of Aozong sat on the rooftop and watched the whole thing unfold. They thought the ants were like little ants rushing to move house before the rain, moving in a chaotic yet orderly fashion.
In fact, all of this could be created with a single illusion, but Di Jiang refused. He wanted everything on his wedding day to be real, including red silk, lanterns, wedding candles, and even red dates, longans, and peanuts... He wanted them all to be selected one by one.
The customs of the Ten Realms of Breaking Wind are similar to those of the human world. The rules for welcoming the bride, bowing to the ancestors, and holding banquets were all learned from the ceremonial officials in the royal city of the Ten Realms.
After Yuan Chi's death, Di Jiang took over the ten royal cities of the realms. The people of the ten realms, including the celestial officials within their borders, naturally came under the jurisdiction of the Wilderness Clan. The two clans had different rituals and etiquettes, and Di Jiang, wanting to follow local customs, decided to hold a ceremony here first, and then hold another ceremony according to the Wilderness Clan's rites after unifying the Heavenly Realm.
"Actually, I was afraid you'd run away, so I got married first. Otherwise, why would I be in such a rush? Two days to prepare for a wedding banquet. It's only because there are no elders around that I'm doing this. Otherwise, I would definitely scold him for being too hasty!"
The disciples of the Ao Sect had gained some understanding of that Venerable Lord after being in the Tenth Realm for some time. They dared not say anything else, but they would say that he was sincere in his feelings for the Ancestor, but lacked patience.
This "shortcoming" is not meant in a negative sense. It's not easy for the ancestor to get things to go once. We finally managed to coax her into agreeing, so how could we not hurry up and get things done?
Duan Jiuyou naturally understood Di Jiang's thoughts, but she just didn't understand her disciples, so she tilted her head and asked in return.
"Why are you all so idle? Those people down there are practically burning with impatience, while you're just sitting here sunbathing."
"They complain that we're clumsy!" the disciples complained all at once.
"They complained that our silk flowers weren't pretty enough, the peanuts weren't plump enough, and the 'double happiness' characters weren't cut carefully enough!"
She said indignantly, "It's not their time to be fools anymore! Now they're complaining that we're clumsy!"
"that is!"
The disciples of the Ao Sect had previously worked hard outside to support the soldiers in the abandoned mansion. After the soldiers' souls returned to their bodies, they not only forgot these tasks but also frequently lectured the disciples for not being as meticulous as the disciples themselves. The disciples were dissatisfied and simply stopped doing anything, leaving everything to the soldiers.
This also reflects the division of labor between the ancestor and the wilderness lord: one takes on everything, while the other does nothing.
"Why don't you try on the wedding dress?" a disciple suggested to the patriarch, since he had nothing better to do anyway.
"There's still one shawl that's not finished being embroidered." Duan Jiuyou was considerate of the "embroidery masters," who were already terrified by Di Jiang. If she went there again, they might get anxious to death.
Duan Jiuyou's wedding dress was sewn by a brocade-weaving demon, a small demon unique to the Ten Realms. It is not very capable, only able to weave cloth and embroider. It is small in size, looks a bit like a meerkat, is very timid, and lives in the deep mountains.
Trading with them is simple: just specify the colors and patterns, agree on a pickup time, and they will wait in the mountains with the finished products.
They didn't want the currency, only a small snack called Sugar Mountain Pear. A small basket of Sugar Mountain Pears could be exchanged for two bolts of cloth, making it the most profitable deal in Ten Realms City.
Their business was booming, and they gradually developed an arrogant temperament. Last year, they stopped accepting orders for ready-made clothes. The people from the abandoned house went to see them twice, and they shook their heads both times, saying they couldn't do it. Later, Emperor Jiang went there in person. I don't know exactly what he said, but now more than a dozen brocade-weaving demons are working together to make a wedding dress, their needles flying as if afraid of delaying the deadline.
"The great devil, the great devil."
"Three cartloads of sugar pears are enough to eat for a year."
"That's a bit like bullying!"
"If you're so capable, go and insult me to my face."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
"Hurry up and embroider!"
Duan Jiuyou couldn't help but laugh when he thought about how he had peeked through the crack in the door at the little demons rushing to finish their wedding clothes and heard their indignant little complaints.
