Inside the courtyard, a serene peace reigned, the vibrant red hues blanketing the ground, reflecting an atmosphere of joy and celebration.
The distant sounds of revelry faintly reached the courtyard, creating a sense of both lively festivity and tranquil quietude, as if one were immersed in a realm of leisurely bliss.
Chen Changsheng stood at the doorway, taking a deep breath to calm his trembling heart.
He slowly pushed open the door.
A fragrance unique to Luo Liuxi wafted into his nostrils, the room similarly adorned with crimson decorations.
A stunningly beautiful figure in vibrant red sat on the bed at the far end of the room, her form tall and gracefully curved, dignified yet gentle.
With a soft creak, Chen Changsheng gently closed the door and quickly approached the bride, tenderly lifting the red veil to reveal Luo Liuxi's captivating and ethereal face.
Her features were soft and elegant, her skin as delicate as jade, fair with a rosy blush, radiating a fresh glow.
Her hair was styled into an exquisite bun, her slender eyebrows gently arched, outlining an elegant curve, and her beautiful eyes were as clear as autumn water, a hint of bashful coyness between her brows.
Luo Liuxi's red lips parted slightly, revealing a sweet smile, like a budding flower emitting a captivating radiance.
"My lady, it's time we rested," Chen Changsheng said softly, eagerly moving closer.
Luo Liuxi extended a jade finger and gently touched his lips, smiling sweetly, "Husband, don't be impatient; we haven't drunk the nuptial wine yet."
The tender address of 'husband' sent a shiver through Chen Changsheng, nearly causing him to lose his composure.
This was the first time Luo Liuxi had called him husband, and the first time in his life he had been addressed as such.
Despite being a millennia-old monster, Chen Changsheng, upon hearing this intimate term, was as dazed as a mortal on his wedding night.
"Come here."
Luo Liuxi gracefully rose and led Chen Changsheng to the table, lightly pouring a cup of amber-colored immortal wine for each of them.
The aroma of the wine permeated the room, mingling with the faint floral fragrance, making one feel as if they were in a sea of flowers.
The two sat close together, their eyes meeting in deep affection.
Chen Changsheng picked up his wine cup and gazed at Luo Liuxi, as if communicating silently with their hearts, and they drank together.
As she lowered her cup, a drop of crystal-clear immortal wine trickled from Luo Liuxi's red lips to her chin, shimmering with an alluring luster.
Chen Changsheng instinctively reached out to wipe it away, but was captivated by Luo Liuxi's bright smile.
The slight upturn of her lips hinted at a seductive charm, her lovely face gradually drawing near, her red lips gently touching his.
That soft, smooth sensation, carrying the slightly intoxicating aroma of wine, made Chen Changsheng's heart soften.
In that instant, he seemed to be immersed in a dreamlike happiness, unconsciously pulling Luo Liuxi's slender waist closer and embracing her in a deep kiss.
How long had passed, he did not know, the two slowly parted their lips, drawing a silken thread between them.
Luo Liuxi raised her jade hand and gently caressed Chen Changsheng's cheek, saying with a beaming smile, "It's time to rest, my husband~"
Chen Changsheng felt a fire ignite in his heart, a warm current surging through him, and he responded ecstatically, "Okay."
The windows closed on their own without a breeze, and the gauze curtains slowly fell, shyly obscuring the two figures on the red bed, leaving behind a scene of peace and beauty.
...
Fallen Domain, Yaochi Holy Land.
A graceful and stunningly beautiful figure leaned against the window of the main hall, gazing blankly at the bright stars of the night.
Her hair cascaded down like a black waterfall, and the bright moonlight shone on her snow-white skin, like a layer of tulle, outlining her perfect figure.
"Holy Maiden, the secret realm of the Spirit Sea is about to open. Tomorrow we should set off," a maidservant stood behind the woman, speaking respectfully.
Li Qingxuan's eyes were deep and bright, as if inlaid with stars, emitting a mysterious and captivating light.
She wore a white immortal dress, wispy and ethereal, like floating clouds, setting off her graceful figure, like a celestial fairy descending into the mortal world.
"Understood, you may withdraw," Li Qingxuan's voice was light and ethereal, her beautiful eyes gazing absently at the night sky, lost in thought.
Seeing this, the maidservant hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should remind her again, lest the Holy Maiden forget again tomorrow.
But after thinking it over, she finally chose to leave quietly, leaving the Holy Maiden alone by the window.
Li Qingxuan often gazed at the stars, a habit since childhood.
Others thought she had a natural affinity for the stars, but only she knew that she didn't feel close to the stars, but to the scene of watching the stars.
When she was a child, she always had the same dream, dreaming that she would lie in a rocking chair every night, watching the stars, thinking of someone.
A man she had never seen from childhood to adulthood!
But even though she had never seen that handsome and natural face, she felt particularly familiar and intimate.
The familiarity of watching the stars was her habit at night in her previous life.
And the unforgettable longing of her previous life.
"Who... is he? Why can I still remember him in this life, and is he still alive in the world?"
Li Qingxuan's eyes were confused, and she murmured to herself.
For some reason, there was always a voice in her heart telling her that the other party would definitely be waiting for her somewhere!
Especially tonight, this feeling was particularly strong.
Could it be that the other party was also thinking of her, so she had this feeling?
Li Qingxuan was startled by her own thoughts.
In the middle of the night, she was actually thinking about a man she had never met. She was really crazy!
...
The next morning, the sun was high in the sky.
The door opened gently, and Luo Liuxi, in a pure white gauze dress, walked out of the room with a beautiful face and light steps.
When she closed the door, she said to the man in the room, "It's still early, husband, rest a little longer. I'll take care of the outside matters."
Taiping City had been reveling all night, and many people were still eating and drinking.
Miaomiao and Yu Niang were both busy outside, dealing with the many sect leaders.
Chen Changsheng slowly got up from the room, and a look of surprise appeared on his face as he felt the soaring cultivation in his body.
He had only recently broken through the late Yuanying stage, and after last night's wedding night, he had directly reached the great perfection of Yuanying!
As long as he was willing, he could attack the Huashen stage at any time!
"Is this the joy of dual cultivation!"
Chen Changsheng immediately sat cross-legged, absorbing the spiritual energy of the world into his body to stabilize his soaring cultivation.
A moment later, dark clouds covered the sky, and thunder rumbled.
Countless monks in Taiping City looked up in unison.
A slender figure bathed in Phoenix True Fire rushed straight into the sky, wearing a broken facial mask, and emitting a strong demonic energy and Buddha light at the same time.
A dense rain of thunder tribulations swept down in an instant!
