Chapter 278 Socially anxious master vs. sickly disciple 53
Quan Jiu didn't expect him to be so anxious: "Are you so anxious to marry me?"
Ji Xiao said bluntly: "I don't want to wait."
"We agreed to marry you formally with three letters and six engagements, but now there's nothing. I can't let you down."
Quan Jiu looked at the lonely and desolate holy land and spoke seriously.
It is much simpler for gods to get married than for mortals. With a hundred miles of red makeup and a phoenix crown and bridal robe, all it takes is one magic formula to get it done.
But fake is fake after all, and she didn't want to let him down.
If she wants to marry a wife, it must be a grand affair and she will give him the best.
Ji Xiao understood her intentions and stopped forcing her. He said softly:
"good."
Quan Jiu: "Let's see if we can get out first."
Ji Xiao smiled, "Are you in such a hurry to marry me?"
Quan Jiu silently kicked this man who took advantage of him and acted like a good boy.
Ji Xiao didn't dodge or avoid her, and was scratched by her like a kitten. The smile in his eyes grew:
"My wife is so fierce."
His arms went around her waist.
Quan Jiu raised his eyebrows: "If you have the guts, call me husband."
Ji Xiao's smile did not diminish. Without saying a word, he lowered his head and kissed her, blocking her provocation.
It's good to take charge of the family occasionally.
…
The two wandered around the holy land and finally found a stone tablet building that was similar to the center of the formation. There was a handprint on the stone tablet. Quan Jiu opened his palm and embedded it into the stone tablet. The surroundings were still quiet and there was no response.
She withdrew her hand disappointedly: "It seems there is another way."
Ji Xiao also tried it and got the same result:
"Let's think of another way."
Five days passed in a row, and the two of them gained nothing. She didn't know if it was Quan Jiu's illusion, but she always felt that her internal strength was weakening.
The Heaven-Sealing Array was as solid as a rock, without any weaknesses or loopholes. She looked up at the distant skyline, feeling as if a thick layer of dark clouds was pressing on her chest.
"We might not be able to get out."
On the tenth day, Quan Jiu sighed and sat down on a stone by the roadside.
This formation has no weaknesses.
Ji Xiao's expression was much calmer than hers, and he pulled the woman into his arms and sat her down.
The man rested his chin on her shoulder and neck, rubbing it gently. The faint cedar scent on his body lingered around her, gradually calming her mind.
Leaning against the man's broad and warm chest, at some point, Quan Jiu even had this thought flash through his mind——
It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t go out. It’s also good to stay in the formation. The two of them will stay together until the end of her life.
Ji Xiao's dark red eyes were calm, occasionally flashing with tenderness:
"What do you want to do after you get out?"
Quan Jiu inexplicably felt like laughing.
Is he so sure he can get out?
"Let's go have a good meal first."
She accompanied him in his wild fantasies.
"I want to go to the newly opened restaurant in the human world. Among the six realms, humans are the best at making delicious food... Rouge goose breast, lotus root starch and osmanthus sugar cake, eggplant fish..."
She pursed her lips.
It was just a fantasy at first, but as I talked about it, I really wanted to eat it.
There was no food in the formation, and the two of them had to rely on fasting. There were no bustling streets or stunning scenery. Apart from a few rocks on the mountain walls, there were very few green plants.
Quan Jiu said a lot tonight.
The Kunlun Mountains, the sea in the far north, the Monster Forest in the east, the fireworks from thousands of homes in the Forbidden City, the curling smoke from cooking fires... In the absence of any entertainment, it seems that the only thing left between people is talking.
She didn't stop even after the bonfire was extinguished.
As the stars climbed into the night sky, the voice of the woman in his arms gradually became quieter, until it was completely silent...
Ji Xiao pursed his lips tightly, hugged her tightly, and lowered his eyes so that no one could see his expression:
“There will be…”
"They will all be there."
…
On the fifteenth day, Quan Jiu woke up and found that only 80% of his internal strength was left.
She was shocked and looked at Ji Xiao who was still sleeping beside her. In the end, she chose to remain silent.
Ji Xiao woke up in the morning light.
The early morning light shone on the side of her face, and he could even see the fine hairs on her face.
"woke up?"
Quan Jiu noticed something, opened his eyes and stopped practicing.
Ji Xiao just lay there looking at her. The woman was beautiful, and in the morning light she looked like a rose bud about to bloom, as if nothing had happened.
His throat was hoarse: "Awake."
Quan Jiu's smile remained unchanged: "Want to stay in bed?"
Ji Xiao didn't answer immediately, but buried his head in her arms and hummed softly.
Quan Jiu's eyes flickered: "Why are you acting like a spoiled child again..."
"I don't want to wait any longer."
Ji Xiao suddenly spoke without answering the question.
"Master, let's get married."
………
Quan Jiu surprisingly did not object.
The candlelight flickers in the bridal chamber.
There were no guests, no packed house, and no smiling emcee.
Ji Xiao was wearing a bright red wedding dress, with her long black hair half tied up and draped behind her, smooth and flowing like the finest satin.
He held a red hydrangea in his hand, and with the joy of a groom, he looked at his bride with gentle eyes:
"Master is so beautiful."
This wasn't the first time he'd seen her in her wedding gown.
In Lady Xi's cave, he had seen her in a red dress.
But now it's different, she is his bride.
Belongs to him alone.
Quan Jiu held the other end of the red hydrangea, and without bowing to heaven and earth, or to his parents, he only bowed to Ji Xiao.
They don't believe in the way of heaven, and they have no relatives alive. A single bow between husband and wife is enough.
The moment the veil was lifted, Quan Jiu saw the layout of the room clearly for the first time.
The bridal chamber was beautifully decorated, and it was obvious that Ji Xiao had put a lot of thought into it.
In the red gauze tent, Ji Xiao gently took off her wedding dress. He had put on her wedding dress with his own hands, and he took it off with his own hands.
“Master…”
He called out to her again and again in her ears, and the whispers of a lover were more moving than the gentle and affectionate waves of the sea.
…
When Quan Jiu woke up again, she felt like she was split in two. As soon as her feet touched the ground, she bent in pain. She quickly held onto the edge of the bed and did not fall.
"jingle……"
The sound of bells rang in the quiet room.
She looked down in surprise and saw a string of red ropes and silver bells on her ankle, which looked somewhat familiar.
It was the same necklace that Ji Xiao had hung on her last time, but this time, there were no heavy shackles.
"Your legs still hurt?"
When Ji Xiao came in, he saw her with her head down, staring at the bell in a daze.
Quan Jiu pointed to the bell in his hand and asked, "Do you always carry it with you?"
Ji Xiao picked her up again and put her on the bed:
"Yeah, you like it?"
Quan Jiu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
This bell is different from other bells. There are Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures engraved on the surface, and circles of purple irises are engraved next to the Sanskrit. It is small and exquisite, and people will fall in love with it at first sight.
Ji Xiao: "Then don't pick it."
Quan Jiu sat on the bed and nodded, secretly calling upon his true energy, and found that he had lost two levels of true energy in his body.
She finally confirmed that the formation was absorbing her true energy. At this rate, her true energy would be sucked away sooner or later.
