Chapter 8 The Wedding Night
Xia Qingyue didn’t ask again, with the height and status of this white clothed woman who said “impossible” with such certainty, then indeed there should be no possibility at all.
“Qing Yue, I know that you are eager to repay your kindness, and want to repay the kindness of saving your life at birth as much as possible before returning to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, but you married him, and that is already enough. On your return to the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace, your identity will be made public. He might be subject to more ridicule afterward, but no matter what, the identity of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace disciple’s husband is there. With this identity in place, at least in this small Flowing Cloud City, no one will dare to truly harm him.” The woman in white comfortingly said.
Xia Qingyue nodded gently, “I hope that will be the case.”
“He has a crippled Xuan Vein and no other strengths, it is impossible for him to do anything more in his lifetime. And you are not only heavenly and intelligent, even your talent, in my Ice Cloud Immortal Palace is also a rare sight in a hundred years, otherwise, the Palace Master wouldn’t have made an exception and agreed to your request to marry him in order to put your mind at ease. For him to be able to marry you is the greatest blessing and realization of his life. You do this step, has been benevolent to the end, even if it is his father Xiao Ying reincarnation, if he is smart enough, I believe that also must have long taken the initiative to cancel the previous marriage contract …… I leave first, a month later, I will come to pick you up again. During this period, I won’t go far, if you encounter anything that can’t be solved, inform me at any time with a transmission note.”
“Greetings Master.”
The white-clothed woman nodded and turned around, and immediately, a face with a coolness in its absolute beauty was presented. She didn’t put on any powder, but her skin was as white and smooth as snowy jade, making people think of the words “icy muscles and jade bones” and “snowy face and vermilion lips”. The features are more delicate and flawless, beautiful and beautiful through a kind of let a person almost dare not look directly at the holy cold and proud, as if it is stepping on the nine heavens above, do not dip a trace of earthly smoke and fire of the fairies in general.
She pushed open the back window, body slightly shaking, accompanied by the ice spirit of floating, the whole person such as misting disappeared there.
The hall of the Xiao family was filled with guests.
“Seventh Uncle Liu, please drink.” Xiao Che respectfully brought the wine cup to an elegant-looking middle-aged man.
The person who was called “Seventh Uncle Liu” smiled as he stood up, took the wine cup, and then drank it all in one go before saying with a smile, “Nephew, I was also a close friend of your father back then, and now that I see that you have become a family man, and that you have even married such a good wife, I am happy in my heart as well.”
“Thank you Uncle Liu Qi.”
“Grand Elder, please drink.”
Xiao Sect’s Grand Elder Xiao Li picked up the wine cup, drank it in one gulp, and then dropped the wine cup heavily on the table, and throughout the entire process, apart from a “hmm” sound from his nose, he did not say another word, and did not even look at Xiao Che squarely. That posture, just like drinking the wine he toasted was giving him great face.
Xiao Che also did not say anything and walked towards the next table. Just two steps away, Xiao Li spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground and let out a cold grunt from his mouth that was loud enough for Xiao Che to hear, “What a fresh flower, actually stuck in dog shit. I pooh!”
Xiao Che’s expression remained unchanged, and his footsteps did not pause, as if he had not heard it at all, only that a deep, hidden icy coldness condensed in the depths of his eyes.
Arriving at Second Elder Xiao Bo’s side, Xiao Che slightly bent over and said, “Second Elder, Xiao Che toasts you.”
Xiao Bo, however, did not even look at Xiao Che, instead, he averted his old face and faintly said under his breath, “Yang’er, drink it for me.”
“Yes, Grandpa.” Without saying a word, Xiao Yang took Xiao Che’s cup of wine and poured it down in one gulp.
To give a toast to an elder and actually let his own latter junior drink it instead, this was no longer considered a slight, but rather **naked humiliation. Xiao Yang, who had finished his drink, put the glass down, and when he sat down, his eyes revealed undisguised contemptuous ridicule.
Xiao Che did not say anything, nodded slightly and walked towards the next table. Just like just now, just two steps away, a cold snort sounded: ”Humph, a waste is a waste, even if he climbs up to the Xia family, he is still a waste. Xiao Lie, that old man, does he still expect to rely on his granddaughter-in-law to turn over a new leaf? Bah!”
The voice was filled with deep disdain and mockery, and of course, jealousy. Not to mention the Xia Family’s family fortune, just with Xia Qingyue’s amazing talent, if she didn’t marry Xiao Che, but instead married his grandson, Xiao Yang, he would probably be able to laugh out loud in his dreams.
Xiao Che continued to walk away as if he didn’t hear it at all, with a smile on his face.
By the time Xiao Che finished his toast and sent off the guests, the night had completely fallen. Throughout the entire process, there were people who showed heartfelt congratulations and blessings to him, however, these types of people were very few and far between, so few that Xiao Che could count them on ten fingers. Most people were still polite to him, after all, today was his wedding day, but the contempt in their eyes he could see clearly, some sighed, some were jealous and indignant, and there were some, who wrote the expression of disdain and looking at trash on their faces without any concealment.
Because he had a crippled Xuan Vein, it was impossible for him to achieve anything in his lifetime. Therefore, they didn’t need to befriend and be polite, and they didn’t even care about offending him at all, because even if they did, with his crippled Xuan Vein, there would be no consequences at all. On the contrary, in front of him this scum unscrupulous, cool show their own sense of superiority, with the posture of a strong person high-minded looking down on this weak person who can never exceed them …….
This is the reality and the ugly nature of the vast majority of human beings.
“Rest early.” Xiao Lie patted Xiao Che’s shoulder with a gentle smile.
And at this moment, Xiao Che certainly wouldn’t be unaware of what was actually hidden underneath his grandfather’s smile.
As Xiao Lie grew older, his temperament became more and more gentle. But when he was young, Xiao Lie’s temperament was just like his name, almost like a little bit of it, whoever made him unhappy for a minute, he would make the other person very unhappy, and there was no one he did not dare to mess with. Xiao Che knows very clearly, grandfather’s temperament has become more and more gentle, never because of the growth of age and let the heart become calm, but because he ……
For the sake of his grandson who was worthless and needed his full protection, he had to become gentle and low-key, and even if he was insulted and bullied, as long as he didn’t touch the bottom line, he would still hold back to the maximum extent possible. In this way, he could no longer have any enemies no matter if he was alive or after he passed away, if not, it would be as easy as a slap in the face for those he had offended for to retaliate on his grandson who had no xuan power.
As the strongest Xuan Li in Liuyun City, the fifth elder Xiao Lie, who once could not be messed with, is now often bullied and ridiculed by the other four elders, and even the juniors do not have much respect and scorn for him.
Looking at Xiao Lie’s departing back, with that face filled with cold smiles and disdain flashing in his mind, Xiao Che’s hands slowly clenched tightly, his knuckles gradually becoming white, and in his eyes, an ice-coldness like a blade was radiating. Following that, the corners of his mouth slowly grinned, and a creepy cold smile appeared.
Xiao Che was definitely a person who held grudges, and during those last years in the Cang Yun Continent, his heart was filled with hatred. Those who were good to him, he would keep in mind, and those who were not good to him, he would likewise die in his heart …… almost to the point of being vindictive.
“You will …… regret it ……”
A low voice slowly overflowed from Xiao Che’s mouth, as if it was some kind of vicious curse.
Since the heavens have given me a chance to be a human again, how can I let my grandfather and myself be bullied again!
When he returned to his small courtyard, the full moon was already high in the night sky. Xiao Che came to the corner of the courtyard and stretched his left hand forward, and immediately, a water arrow shot out from his palm.
Today, at the banquet, he inevitably had to drink quite a lot of wine. At the end of the day, he drank to the point where he looked so drunk that he could barely even stand, but in reality, he was incredibly sober. It wasn’t that he had a large amount of alcohol, but all of the alcohol that he drank was all transferred to the space of the Heavenly Poison Bead the moment he entered his mouth. The Heavenly Poison Bead had already fused with his body, and he manipulated the Heavenly Poison Bead naturally and manipulated his own body lightly and casually.
After half a day of “clattering”, he finally discharged all the wine in the Heavenly Poison Pearl. Xiao Che raised his left hand that was stained with wine and suddenly grinned as he slapped this wine directly on his face and then held his breath, suffocating his face to a bright red color before he stumbled and stumbled, pushing open the door of the room and walking into the new room.
As the door to the room was pushed open, an aura of alcohol immediately followed him in, and Xiao Che stumbled as he entered, almost falling to the ground. He raised his head in some distress and looked towards Xia Qingyue. At this moment, Xia Qingyue was sitting on the bed, her beautiful eyes closed, extraordinarily tranquil. The dim red candle light reflected her absolutely beautiful flowery face, adding a few points of irresistible dreaminess and delicacy.
…… we can …… cave in …… now.”
Xia Qingyue’s eyes snapped open and her right hand swung forward casually.
A wave of irresistible icy cold air instantly swept in front of Xiao Che’s body, rushing his body directly out of the door, falling on his butt on the courtyard’s land, narrowly missing the only stone table.
Xiao Che let out a cry of pain, rubbed his butt, took half a day’s effort to get up, and roared angrily, ”Shit! I’m just joking, are you going to hit me so hard! I’m a handless chicken power, you shot so hard …… hard to not want to murder pro husband ah!”
Bang!
The door of the room closed heavily.
Xiao Che pushed forward, but found that the door of the room had already been firmly shut.
Xiao Che was instantly depressed …… This woman, don’t say molestation, can’t even joke about it ah! Can this still be pleasant to get along with?
“I’m really just joking …… Besides, I’m a Primordial Xuan Realm first level dregs, even if I wanted to offend you, it’s impossible.”
Xia Qingyue had no answer.
Xiao Che stood in front of the door and waited for half a day, and the door still did not show any sign of wanting to open. Xiao Che’s small courtyard only had this one house, not to mention the side rooms, there wasn’t even a utility room or a stable. If it was usual, he could still sneak over to his little aunt’s place to sleep, but tonight was the wedding night, it was inappropriate for him to go anywhere ah.
A gust of night wind blew, causing Xiao Che’s body to shrink as he knocked on the door once more and said weakly, ”Hey, you don’t really want me to sleep outside tonight, do you? You should also know that there are many people in this Xiao Sect who have thoughts about you, and on our wedding night, they will be very, very uncomfortable in their hearts. However, they will surely believe that a pearl like you can’t possibly look at a slag like me, so even if they get married, they won’t let me touch a finger, and it’s impossible to even sleep under the same roof, so in a while, someone will surely sneak over to see my joke. If they see me locked out of my room by you, I’m going to be a complete laughingstock.”
“No matter what, I’m also your husband now, can you really bear to watch me being laughed at by them?”
The room remained silent, and just as Xiao Che couldn’t help but kick the door, the tightly closed door finally slowly opened.
Xiao Che rushed in with the speed of a thunderbolt, and then closed the door with a “bang”.
Xia Qingyue by the bedside still maintained her previous posture, although it was just an ordinary sitting posture, it presented a hazy nobility and elegance. Her beautiful eyes slightly turned, glancing at Xiao Che who was somewhat in a state of distress, and faintly uttered, “Not allowed to approach within five steps of me.”
“…… Then where do you want me to sleep?” Xiao Che nestled his mouth in displeasure. This house had very little space, the big pieces were only a bed, a desk, a small dining table, and two cabinets. The entire room was at most seven or eight steps away from east to west. Five steps away …… will basically have to shrink to the foot of the wall opposite the bed.
“You sleep on the bed.” Xia Qingyue stood up from the bed.
“No need!” Xiao Che flatly refused, and then sat on his butt at the corner of the wall furthest away from Xia Qingyue and closed his eyes. Although in terms of strength, Xia Qingyue was more than a hundred times stronger than him, but being a man of dignity, he would never want to do something like letting a woman sleep on the ground while he slept on the bed.
