Chapter 149: Just Treat This as a Nightmare
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue lightning bolt streaked across the sky, revealing Yu Yuanzhen's burly figure. "How dare you harm my son!"
Yu Xiaogang saw hope. "Father, save me!"
"You're really too noisy," Qin Xuan snorted coldly. "Silence!" As he spoke, a large head was thrown out, landing in front of Yu Xiaogang. It was his father's.
He looked at his father's head, and a look of utter despair appeared on his stiff face. On the other side, a palm-thick sharp blade was pointed directly at his nether regions.
"Ah!"
— Yu Xiaogang woke up with a start.
He was in a cave. Beside him, a burly man lay sleeping like a dead pig, his face pale and sweaty. Memories from the past month flooded his mind. He recalled being robbed by two people named Mo Ya and Bai Feng. They had stolen the Immortal Herb, beaten him severely, and left him with nothing.
Then, he had fallen into the hands of the burly man in front of him. Although the man had helped heal his injuries, he was then forced to stay for a month to do "manual labor." What awaited him each time he failed to escape was inhumane torment.
Three days, he thought. Only three days left. I just have to endure it.
Tears of unwillingness flowed from the corners of his eyes. Just consider this a nightmare. With this thought, he suppressed his nausea and physical discomfort, closed his eyes again, and slowly fell asleep.
What he didn't know was that shortly after he drifted off, the burly man opened his eyes, licked his lips, and thought to himself, The rest time is over. It's time for the show again.
On the other side, Qin Xuan was in the bridal chamber with Ling Yuan. Jing Ni, after seeing them inside, had left a message saying, "I'll wait for you in another room," and departed.
Ling Yuan stared at the little rascal in front of her with a smile, then complained aggrievedly, "Look at you, now Sister Jing Ni doesn't even want to talk to me. Her eyes when she left were so scary, and you don't even care." She took his hand and placed it on the soft warmth of her chest. "My heart is still pounding. If you don't believe me, touch it."
"I told you I would hold a grand wedding for you. Why are you so impatient?" Qin Xuan said, embracing her and walking towards the soft couch.
"Then shall I leave?" she said with a smile, her beautiful eyes rippling with the water of spring.
"Where are you going?" he said, pecking her bright red lips. "You offended the Second Majesty and still want to leave?"
"Then how can I leave?" she wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling.
"You offended the Second Majesty," he said earnestly. "Of course, it's a matter of reciprocity. I also offended Elder Ling Yuan."
"You scoundrel, always so improper—" she bit her red lips, urging, "Hurry up!"
"I hope Elder Ling Yuan will forgive my offense."
"Mmm hmm."
Two hours later, under Qin Xuan's powerful Reincarnation Divine Skill, Ling Yuan finally succumbed and fell into a deep sleep.
He took a bath, changed into a new groom's attire, and came to the backup bridal chamber. Unlike Ling Yuan's charm, Jing Ni was more like a homemaker. After he lifted her red veil, she thoughtfully prepared wine and dishes. They drank the cross-cupped wine, and then, as an old married couple, it was time to get down to business.
"It's going to be dawn in two hours. Are you not planning to go to Bibi Dong's place tonight?" Jing Ni asked while undressing him. "She should be waiting for you."
"No," he shook his head, carrying her to the soft couch. "Although I like women, and she is my type, if I were to take her now, it would only sow discord."
"Why?" she asked, a puzzled expression on her face.
"It's hard to say," he thought for a moment. "Unless one day I no longer plan to find other women, it's better to maintain the status quo."
