Inside the bridal chamber.
After confirming that all other disciples had left, Wang Yang suddenly stood up from his chair!
"You little brats, I knew you'd try to prank me!" Wang Yang said smugly. "Good thing I was prepared!"
For his alchemy skills, creating an antidote for drunkenness was no big deal!
Then, Wang Yang closed the door and walked excitedly towards the bed.
Zi Yu sat quietly on the bed, a beautiful veil covering her head.
"Junior Sister Yu'er..." Wang Yang reached for the veil with trembling hands.
"Hmph," Zi Yu slapped his hand away. "At a time like this, you're still calling me Junior Sister?"
"Oh, right, right, right!" Wang Yang exclaimed, as if suddenly enlightened. "Wife, wife!"
"My dear wife, it's getting late," Wang Yang lifted the veil and rubbed his hands slyly. "Shouldn't we be resting now?"
"Ayang, wait a moment," Zi Yu pushed Wang Yang's hand away, her expression suddenly looking extremely conflicted. "Actually, there's something I've wanted to tell you for a long time..."
"Wife... you?" Wang Yang was confused by Zi Yu's demeanor.
After all, in all the time he had known Zi Yu, this was the first time he had seen her make such an expression.
In an instant, all sorts of wild speculations flooded his mind.
Finally, Wang Yang gritted his teeth!
"Wife, you don't need to say it!"
"No matter what happened before, I don't care!"
Zi Yu gave him a speechless look. "What are you thinking? That's not what I meant."
To her surprise, Wang Yang's face grew even worse!
He said with a tremor.
"Fine, as long as the child is yours, I'll raise it!"
Zi Yu: ...
When did I not notice your brain was so peculiar?
"Ayang..." Zi Yu suddenly grabbed Wang Yang's hand and said softly, "Actually... I'm not human..."
"Wife, you don't need to say more," Wang Yang gently shook his head. "After all, who doesn't have a past? You don't need to condemn yourself like this!"
Zi Yu felt that if this continued, it would never end, so she decided to drop a bombshell.
"Do you remember that man-eating monster you saw before?" Zi Yu got straight to the point. "The one that scared you unconscious twice."
At these words, Wang Yang shuddered immediately...
Wang Yang had thought he had successfully forgotten about it.
But now that Zi Yu brought it up again...
Those terrifying memories surged back like a tidal wave!
"I, I remember..." Wang Yang stammered, gripping Zi Yu's hand. "But wife, don't be afraid, I, I, I'll protect you..."
"What I mean is..."
To avoid frightening Wang Yang, Zi Yu tried her best to make her voice as gentle as possible.
Later, feeling it might still not be enough, she revealed an even more tender smile.
"I am that monster."
Wang Yang's body stiffened...
"W, w, wife... this joke isn't funny at all..."
"It's true," Zi Yu's expression became even gentler. "I feel that since I'm married to you now, I can't keep it a secret anymore."
As she spoke, her body gradually began to change.
Wang Yang watched with wide eyes as vines sprouted from his new bride...
Her originally beautiful face began to crack before his eyes...
Her head transformed into several large petals, covered with sharp fangs...
The familiar formula...
The familiar taste...
So, Wang Yang, in his familiar way, fainted.
When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the bed.
It was still the bridal chamber, and it was still night outside.
And Zi Yu was looking at him with concern...
Although Zi Yu had already returned to her human form, Wang Yang's body was still trembling violently...
"Ayang, I'm sorry, I scared you," Zi Yu said self-reproachfully. "But don't worry, I will never hurt you!"
After speaking, Zi Yu took off her shoes and lay down beside Wang Yang.
"Y, y, you, what are you going to do...?"
Wang Yang almost peed himself...
"Hmph..." Zi Yu's face turned red. "I didn't expect you to be so impatient..."
Seeing Zi Yu getting closer, Wang Yang almost fainted again.
"No, no, no..."
"Don't come any closer!"
"Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"
Soon, countless vines once again emerged from Zi Yu's body.
Unlike before, these vines were no longer in a terrifying shape, nor did they have thorns.
The vines slowly wrapped around Wang Yang.
At the same time, soft petals appeared on the vines.
...
The following hundred thousand characters have been placed under a powerful seal for well-known reasons.
Only those with the purest of thoughts can break the seal and glimpse the full picture.
...
The next day.
Around eight o'clock in the morning.
A large crowd had gathered in the sect's plaza.
Wang Yang and Zi Yu were among them.
Strangely, Wang Yang was holding a vase in his arms, filled with several vibrant flowers.
"Wang Yang," True Person Ziyun looked at him. "You've just gotten married, why don't you stay behind? Your master will be with you anyway."
"Sect Leader!" Wang Yang said righteously. "As a member of the Ziyun Sect, I naturally must advance and retreat with the sect!"
True Person Ziyun nodded with satisfaction, a look of relief in his eyes.
"Brother Wang, don't you usually only like alchemy?" Li Mingbai came up to Wang Yang and teased him. "Why are you studying elegant things like flower arrangement now?"
"You're talking about this?" Wang Yang said sheepishly. "I learned it from my wife. What do you think, isn't it quite beautiful?"
"It is quite beautiful," Li Mingbai nodded seriously. "I didn't realize you had this talent."
"Of course, hehe!" Wang Yang grinned smugly.
Last night, Wang Yang had experienced a brand new version he had never encountered before.
He had profoundly understood the meaning of "true fragrance."
And considering that Zi Yu hadn't done anything to harm him during their time together, he had accepted the reality.
However, he decided that if he ever met Old Man Li from the end of the village again, he would definitely give him a piece of his mind.
The principle you told me about one carrot fitting one hole is wrong!
Ye Fan quietly watched the scene unfold.
He felt something crushing his face...
It hurt a little...
Before long, two figures also flew over.
They were the Second Elder and Master Xie Yan!
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's set off!"
True Person Ziyun waved his hand, leading the group towards the outside of the sect.
At this moment, Ye Fan's style of travel was quite unique.
True Person Ziyun and the others, with their high cultivation, simply flew in the air.
The three senior sisters, being slightly less powerful, flew on their swords.
Only Ye Fan flew on his bed...
On the bed with him were the little witch and Li Mingbai.
There was no other way.
This fellow's cultivation was still at the Qi Refining stage, so he couldn't fly at all.
"Junior Brother Li, where's your fiancée?" Ye Fan asked playfully, as he had nothing else to do. "Seeing how affectionate you two were before, I thought you wouldn't come."
"Huahua just finished her treatment from the Second Elder and Master Xie Yan and is resting in her room," Li Mingbai quickly replied. "Besides, she has no cultivation, so it's useless for her to come along."
Ye Fan was shocked when he heard this!
So you're saying you had two grandmasters treat your fairy bride???
Holy crap!
I, Ye Fan, declare you the number one brave soul on the continent!
I think you're trying to get a new wife, aren't you?!
...
Not long after.
The group left the imperial city and flew towards the old site of the Ziyun Sect.
And not long after they had left, a group of cultivators arrived at the imperial city from another direction.
These were all unfamiliar faces, and their attire was vastly different from that of the cultivators of the Great Liang Kingdom.
"Sect Leader," an elder said to the leading cultivator. "According to the clues, that thing should be within the scope of this small country."
