As they were leaving, the Main God bestowed his blessings upon Ye Bai, formally acknowledging him as his son-in-law.
The news of their grand wedding sent ripples of excitement throughout the entire Main Realm.
Had the Main God's cub come of age?
She rarely left the Goddess's Mansion, and ordinary people had never had the chance to glimpse her divine beauty. Yet, she had suddenly announced her wedding?
Rumor had it that the one who would become the Goddess's husband was a mortal from a small world, which only piqued everyone's curiosity further.
When they finally saw Ye Bai, even those accustomed to the most beautiful people in the Main Realm couldn't help but sigh in admiration, exclaiming what stunning looks he possessed!
Many began to speculate that the Goddess was indeed a connoisseur of beauty.
Consequently, numerous individuals started to ponder, striving to make themselves appear incredibly handsome and exceptionally elegant, hoping to try their luck and catch the Goddess's attention.
The outcome, as one might expect, was foregone. Faced with the radiant and peerless Ye Bai, the Goddess's eyes had no room for any other man. They returned in disappointment.
Their wedding was an exceptionally grand affair, personally orchestrated by the Main God himself, a fact known to almost everyone in the Main Realm.
On the wedding night, in the Goddess's private chambers,
The futon beside the main bed had been put away, and the surroundings were strewn with glowing petals, making the entire room appear dreamlike and beautiful.
To avoid appearing too out of place in this world, Ye Bai had let his hair grow long. His dark locks were tied up with a ceremonial crown, lending him an air of refined elegance, as gentle and refined as jade.
The injuries sustained from creating Ye Bai's godhead had completely healed. Qiao Ci gazed at Ye Bai, dressed in the divine realm's wedding attire, looking so exceptionally handsome, and felt that in this moment, everything was complete.
She and her little cub had finally achieved their happily ever after, becoming husband and wife under the witness of her father.
After experiencing so many worlds, she couldn't help but feel her heart flutter whenever she saw Ye Bai. This love, ingrained to the very bone, was undeniable.
She loved him, had loved him for so long.
Ye Bai scooped up Qiao Ci, who was also in wedding robes, in his arms. He carried her to the ridiculously large bed covered in petals. He didn't do anything else, but instead, he lay beside her and traced her features with his hand.
Slightly tipsy, he whispered humbly into Qiao Ci's ear, "A'Ci, I love you. Please, never give up on me..."
Qiao Ci wrapped her arms around Ye Bai's waist, flipping him to lie beneath her. With a slight raise of her eyebrows, she exhaled softly, her voice like fragrant mist, "That depends on your performance later."
With that, her red lips descended.
Her lips brushed his forehead, then his nose, before finally settling on his perfectly shaped lips.
"No resisting. I'm in charge," Qiao Ci said dominantly.
"Everything I have is yours," Ye Bai replied, his eyes curving into a smile. Starlight sparkled within them, and in all of that starlight, there was a tiny silhouette of Qiao Ci.
He obediently closed his eyes, his arms around Qiao Ci's soft waist tightening.
...
The stamina of gods is limitless.
The two of them remained in their chambers for three days and three nights without emerging.
The attendants of the Goddess's Palace waited respectfully at a distance, and upon hearing the occasional sounds emanating from within, they couldn't help but whisper amongst themselves.
"Hehe, our Goddess is truly mighty! Even the son-in-law is starting to beg for mercy..."
"The son-in-law is now a divine being too. He's probably just going easy on our Goddess."
"It's true, our Goddess has excellent taste. Not only did she find a man of unparalleled handsomeness, but he's also so thoughtful and attentive."
"The Goddess's Palace has been so cold for so long. It's time for some liveliness. Hehe, looking at how hard they're working, I believe we'll be welcoming a little master soon."
"Ahhh, a cute, soft, and adorable little baby? Then I must start preparing tiny clothes and shoes for our little master right away! Time is of the essence. You all stay here and serve, I'm off to learn how to make clothes and shoes!!!"
When the two of them finally emerged, the attendants had resumed their respectful demeanor, as if their earlier conversation had never happened.

In the Quick Transmigration Bureau,
Wen Si watched Ye Xuan with a furrowed brow and couldn't help but ask, "A'Xuan, you've been so melancholic these past few days. You're becoming less and less like yourself."
Ye Xuan shot Wen Si a sidelong glance. "My brother has been gone with his wife for over two years now, and he hasn't even sent a single message home. I don't know if he's living well or poorly. Lately, I've been staying up late to read many novels about sons-in-law, and I've discovered that all sons-in-law are miserable. I don't know if my brother is eating cold steamed buns and sleeping in dog kennels. Alas, it's all my fault for not caring about him more in the past, making him so starved for affection that he was easily deceived the moment he went to a small world."
"Are you sure your brother wasn't the one taking advantage?" Wen Si teasingly remarked, recalling that powerful and mysterious young woman.
"If you have something nice to say, say it. If not, keep it to yourself," Ye Xuan said helplessly, looking at Wen Si. "Who exactly is closer to you? Before long, that will be your brother too, you know?"
"Oh, then it's indeed true that my brother Ye Bai was deceived," Wen Si said, straightening his gold-rimmed glasses and going along with it.
"Alas..." Ye Xuan began to sigh again.
Wen Si unknotted his tie and pulled him directly into the bedroom.
"Instead of thinking about these pointless things, it's better to do something meaningful."
"Wen Si, you're a refined scoundrel, a beast in a suit."
"There, there. I'm your personal physician. You haven't had much of an appetite lately, and now I have an obligation to check your body."
"Mmm..."

"A'Ci, you haven't had a good appetite these past few days. I've made you your favorite Snow Dragon Fish Soup. It's not oily, not greasy, and is nourishing for both health and beauty," Ye Bai said, looking worried recently.
Because Qiao Ci's appetite had been poor lately. Previously, whenever he cooked, Qiao Ci would, regardless of whether she was hungry or not, eat a few extra bites to show her appreciation. But these past few days, her appetite had greatly diminished.
So, he had been trying to make her delicious meals in various ways, but the results were minimal, leaving Ye Bai somewhat bewildered, unsure if Qiao Ci had simply eaten enough of his cooking.
If she still didn't like the fish soup this time, Ye Bai decided he would hire other chefs to cook for her, allowing her to experience different flavors.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the fish soup was served, Qiao Ci felt a wave of nausea. To avoid making Ye Bai feel bad, she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Have a taste," Ye Bai said, picking up a spoonful of soup and offering it to Qiao Ci's mouth.
Qiao Ci opened her mouth and took it in. The next second, a surge of nausea she could no longer suppress overwhelmed her, and she vomited it all out, accompanied by dry heaving.
Ye Bai quickly took a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, completely disregarding the fish soup that splashed onto himself.
"No, we should have a doctor examine you. Back then, whenever he wanted to call a doctor, Qiao Ci would say she was fine. But now that she's vomited after eating, it seems there might genuinely be something wrong with Qiao Ci's health."
Actually, he already had a vague suspicion.
Qiao Ci did not refuse this time. Her gaze flickered, and she gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen, a tender light appearing in her eyes.
The doctor arrived soon after. After taking her pulse, he respectfully bowed to the couple: "Congratulations, congratulations. Goddess, you are with child. You two will have a little Highness soon."
Ye Bai had been mentally prepared, but upon hearing the doctor say this, he couldn't help but tear up. He looked at Qiao Ci, his eyes full of affection, "A'Ci, we're going to have a baby..."
