Li Mo scratched his head. It was broad daylight with no moon, so he couldn't have a private conversation with Ice Cube.
Besides, since Ice Cube hid it, she probably wouldn't tell him anyway.
He looked up at his mother, hoping to get a hint from her expression.
Gu Xueqin smiled and shook her head, “Little Bing’er hid it; I don’t know either.”
As she spoke, Madam Gu noticed her son's gaze drifting, so she vigilantly blocked the doorway firmly:
“It’s not time to see the bride yet, and you’re not allowed to secretly lift Little Bing’er’s veil later.”
In terms of wealth, Li Mo was richer than an entire nation.
In terms of martial arts, his physique was unrivaled among those of the same realm, and with Heaven and Earth Dharma Form and Eight Nine Arcane Art, he was invulnerable to a hundred calamities.
Now, however, he was at a loss, because the one blocking the door was his own mother.
It seemed he could only go look for that... But just then, light footsteps came from behind his mother, and before Li Mo could turn his gaze, he saw a breathtaking flash of red.
He found the wedding dress very red, but it couldn't outshine the blushing, jade-like face.
She lowered her head, her eyes shimmering behind trembling lashes:
“Mother, don’t let him look anymore.”
“You child, how can that be...”
Gu Xueqin was startled at first, thinking, 'Your Majesty, we were just about to fight to the death, why have you surrendered already?'
Then she laughed wryly, remembering when she got married, it was the same; she watched Old Li search frantically, then secretly had a maid put the hidden items back in a conspicuous place.
At the time, her family members all said, with a tone of disappointment, that they had never seen a bride so eager to marry.
“The hidden items, I’ve already taken them back.”
“Eh? I didn’t see them?”
“I’m wearing them...”
Gu Xueqin was puzzled.
Li Mo took Ice Cube’s hand, intending to take her away, but hearing this, he leaned back slightly, his gaze dropping, and he couldn’t help but gasp.
It was well known that if one had to choose between Ice Cube’s martial arts prowess and her legs as more deadly, Li Mo would unhesitatingly choose the latter.
What’s more, now under the red gown of the Phoenix Coronet and Robes, there was still... “Mother, should we skip the fire-crossing ritual later?”
“Why skip that? Are you afraid it’ll burn up due to dry weather?”
“Never mind whether it burns or not, I’m afraid you’ll worry about my health.”
“?”
While Gu Xueqin was completely bewildered.
Li Mo had already taken a deep breath. He had intended to carry Ice Cube on his back, but in the end, he lifted her horizontally in his arms.
She was very light, but sweat beaded on his forehead, and his hands trembled slightly.
Ying Bing was initially flustered, but seeing his expression, she couldn’t help but want to laugh.
The usually proper gentleman who secretly played tricks now truly looked like a childish ghost.
“Childish ghost, abduct me.”
“It’s not abducting.”
“Then will you marry me, alright?”
“...”
Li Mo’s breathing hitched.
He felt that even Eight Nine Arcane Art practiced to its extreme, coupled with Heaven and Earth Dharma Form, couldn't withstand this blow.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths' unique cold beauty, now leaning on your shoulder, blushing, eyes smiling, asking if you want to marry her and take her home—who could resist that?
“Mother, I’m taking Ice Cube with me.”
“Go ahead.”
Gu Xueqin smiled, and as she smiled, tears welled up in her eyes again. She quickly wiped them away with a red handkerchief.
Her blurred vision cleared again. The childish ghost suddenly found courage, holding his elder sister bride, and walked out with his head held high and chest puffed out.
Towards the sunlight, towards the sea of people!
“Ice Cube, what song are you singing?”
“It’s the one you hummed that day, saying you heard it from the Buddhist sect.”
“I suspect you know that’s Zhu Bajie Carrying His Wife, but I have no proof.”
The ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) sound of their conversation drifted over.
“How wonderful.”
Martial Venerable Qianxing’s voice echoed in Xiao Qin’s mind: “I feel warm all over.”
Didn’t Teacher only have his Yi Soul left? frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
Xiao Qin’s mouth twitched, but that wasn’t the main point now.
“Teacher, do you think I’m the only one who still remembers that this grand engagement was to lure the snake out of its hole and ambush the demon...”
“Child, you’ve been honest since you were little; that’s what I valued in you from the start.”
“?”
“Never mind, let’s go eat at the banquet, at the children’s table. They eat slowly, so you can let me possess you to eat and drink a bit.”
Xiao Qin felt that there was another reason for Teacher’s tone about going to the children’s table, but he had no proof.
“I always feel like I forgot something...”
Madam Gu, halfway through her emotional moment, paused, realizing that the ‘red handkerchief’ she used to wipe her tears was not a handkerchief.
It was Little Bing’er’s red bridal veil.
“Hey, son, wait!”
...Fireworks exploded above Ziyang Prefecture Fu City, clearly visible even in broad daylight.
Because these ‘flower’ fireworks scattered, truly raining down petals. As for how this effect was achieved, there was no need to worry; the deity in charge of weddings and marriages in Great Shang, whose inner world was dedicated to this, was thoroughly professional.
Under the sky full of falling flowers, the white steed galloped, swiftly moving through the city, and wherever it went, the flower rain followed.
Ying Bing held her veil, leaning against Li Mo’s embrace.
She said that with the veil already on, and then separated by the palanquin, the clamor and excitement outside could neither be seen nor heard.
Now the sun was good, the autumn air was crisp, and cheers echoed like mountains and seas.
Even if she couldn't see anything, even without using her inner world to sense, everything felt real. freewёbnoνel.com
She hadn't married him vaguely and confusedly, as in her dream.
A complex sigh came from her heart, but it wasn't hers.
It carried blessings, it carried hopes.
The one she had been wary of, the head of the Nine Heavens Immortal whose return she guarded against, was also silently watching all this, seemingly plotting to leave.
“Ice Cube, it looks like a river ahead, we’re going to fall into the water,” Li Mo said deliberately.
“You’re lying, we’re almost at Qingyuan Sect.”
“...”
“In the future, if you want to hold me tight, you don’t need to find excuses, childish ghost.”
“Oh, right.”
Li Mo realized he had been tricked by Ice Cube only after he spoke. Wasn’t this admitting that he often made excuses before?
Strange, why wasn’t his mouth as tough as it used to be?
This was the law of conservation of hardness and softness!
When his mouth wasn't hard, then his hammer treasure... “Still calling me childish ghost...” Li Mo carried her down from the horse, pouting.
No sooner had he spoken than Ice Cube leaned close to his ear.
Li Mo felt a little thrill, but then he heard her cool voice with a hint of a smile:
“Then what do you want to hear?”
“Just, that kind of thing between husband and wife.”
“Oh, like that.” Ying Bing tilted her head: “But the ceremony isn’t ~ finished ~ yet ~.”
Looking at Ice Cube under the veil, he could almost see the smile on her jade-like face, and goosebumps rose all over Li Mo.
It was over.
Today was also a naughty Ice Cube!
But there was good news.
Today he didn't have to be a childish ghost.
