Chapter 4: The Red Silk Curtain Warms the Wedding Night, Xu Bai's First Experience of Love
The gongs and drums are loud, and the firecrackers are all fired.
The mansion was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.
Red lanterns and the character for "happiness" are everywhere.
Xu Xian was very popular, and with the help of Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong, there were many guests today.
People gathered in small groups, eating peanuts and melon seeds, and talking about joyous occasions.
Li Gongfu temporarily forgot about the troubles of losing the treasury silver.
He stood outside the door, dressed in brand-new robes, and greeted the guests with clasped hands, saying, "Congratulations, congratulations!"
Xu Jiaorong was in the main hall, directing the villagers to arrange the tables, chairs and benches.
……
Xu Xian stood in the room, looking at his bright red robe, his heart not at peace.
"They got married..."
This was a plot that Xu Xian was very familiar with, and he originally thought that he would not feel any ripples in his heart.
But in the real world, the feeling is different.
Xu Xian looked at himself in the mirror, his mind racing with thoughts.
Finally, he muttered, "The wedding robes in ancient times were too complicated and too difficult to wear."
The auspicious time has arrived!
Xu Xian set out, mounted his horse, and led the grand wedding procession through Hangzhou to the Bai residence.
A grand sedan chair carried by eight men, adorned with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe.
Bai Suzhen sat upright in the sedan chair, clutching the red handkerchief in her hand so tightly that her fingers turned white.
Xiaoqing stood outside the sedan chair and whispered, "Sister, there's no need to be so nervous. Just treat it as a short period of cultivation."
The bright red veil fluttered in the wind, and her red lips parted slightly: "You don't understand."
As the wedding procession moved along, children in the streets sang joyful songs.
"Spring forest flowers are charming, spring birds are sorrowful. Spring breeze is also affectionate, blowing open my silk robe."
The soft, melodious Wu dialect is so pleasant to hear.
Xu Xian rode his horse at the head of the wedding procession, only dismounting when they arrived at the door of the house.
Looking at Li Gongfu, whose face showed signs of age but wore a genuine smile, Xu Xian cupped his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, thank you very much."
"We're family, so let's not speak like strangers!"
Li Gongfu patted Xu Xian on the shoulder, instructing him to welcome the bride into the house.
Xu Xian naturally came to the front of the sedan chair, his back slightly bent.
Xiaoqing lifted the sedan curtain, and Bai Suzhen paused briefly before climbing onto Xu Xian's back.
Then a child sang: "In the morning I climb the cool terrace, in the evening I sleep in the orchid pond. I pick lotus flowers by moonlight, and every night I get lotus seeds."
Xiaoqing chuckled mischievously, while Bai Suzhen blushed with embarrassment.
Even Xu Xian remarked that the folk song was truly fitting for the occasion.
He carried Bai Suzhen on his back, walked across the red silk, and arrived at the main hall.
Accompanied by music played on wind and string instruments, the children around sang: "Looking up at the paulownia tree, the paulownia blossoms are so pitiful. May there be no frost or snow, so that the paulownia seeds may bear fruit for a thousand years."
After Xu Xian put Bai Suzhen down, a young girl presented him with a piece of red silk, with a large red flower embroidered in the center.
Xu and Bai each held onto the red ribbon and waited quietly.
Red candles flickered, and the room was filled with distinguished guests.
A highly respected elder, dressed in a red robe, stood in the center of the hall and proclaimed in a loud voice:
"Bowing to Heaven and Earth—"
Xu and Bai, holding the red ribbon, bowed deeply.
He then said, "Second bow to the parents—"
The memorial tablets of Xu Xian's late parents were placed in the center, with Xu Jiaorong sitting upright to the side, tears streaming down her face.
Xu and Bai bowed again.
"Husband and wife bow to each other—"
Xu Bai, holding the red ribbon, finally came face to face.
Even through the red veil, Xu Xian could feel Bai Suzhen's eyebrows trembling slightly.
Oh.
Even though he's a great demon who's lived for over a thousand years, he still can't keep his mind steady?
My wife, your cultivation level is still not high enough.
Love is hard to survive...
As Xu Xian's thoughts wandered, Li Gongfu nudged him and whispered, "Hurry up and bow to each other as husband and wife, what are you daydreaming about?"
Seeing Bai Suzhen bending slightly, Xu Xian finally realized what was happening and immediately bowed.
"Send them to the bridal chamber!"
As soon as he finished speaking, music and laughter began!
Shouts, laughter, and urging were heard everywhere.
"The ice in the abyss is three feet thick, and the snow covers a thousand miles. My heart is as firm as a pine tree, but what is your affection like?"
The children's singing mingled with the festive sounds.
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen entered the bridal chamber.
The character for "happiness" and red candles.
Red dates, peanuts, longan, lotus seeds...
Auspicious scales, and drinking from the same cup.
All necessary items are readily available.
Xu Xian helped Bai Suzhen sit down by the bed, picked up the wedding scale, and lifted her veil.
Even though he was prepared, he was still in a daze.
As expected of a thousand-year-old snake demon, she is truly beautiful and captivating.
He poured two cups of wine and said, "My wife, we should drink the nuptial wine."
Bai Suzhen's face was flushed.
She moved to the table and picked up a glass with her slender, delicate fingers.
The two wrapped their arms around each other and drank it all in one gulp!
"My wife."
"My lord."
The ceremony is now complete!
With a crackling sound, the red candle burst into flame.
The bed curtains were lowered, and the wooden bed creaked and groaned.
……
……
……
[Congratulations to the player for perfectly activating the "Yin Yang Intercourse Method", Dao Qi +20]
Outside the window, the moonlight was bright.
Xu Xian's profile screen subtly changed.
Name: Xu Xian
[Level: 1]
[Physical Fitness: 1]
[Mana: 0]
【Perception: 2】
[Luck: 3]
[Divine Sense: 0]
[Technique: Yin-Yang Harmony Technique (Blue)]
[Supernatural Powers: None]
[Treasure: None]
[Dao Qi: 20]
Xu Xian looked at the panel in his mind and sighed that it was indeed a dragon clan technique.
I just activated it and I already got 20 Qi.
The so-called Dao Qi is the experience points in the game, which can help characters level up or improve the quality of magic weapons.
It can be obtained through arduous training, serendipitous encounters, or slaying demons.
In the first five levels, you can level up every 10 Qi.
Xu Xian did not rush to level up, but quietly activated the "Yin Yang Intercourse Method".
The night is still long...
The next day, Xu Xian was fast asleep.
Bai Suzhen got up early to prepare breakfast for her husband and aunt.
Xu Jiaorong got up even earlier, or rather, she was so excited that she didn't sleep all night.
Seeing that her beautiful sister-in-law was so reasonable, Xu Jiaorong quickly stepped forward: "Sister-in-law, go and rest. Let that rascal Hanwen get up."
Bai Suzhen smiled and said, "Sister, you're too kind. My husband has worked hard. I'll do these chores."
Xu Jiaorong finally stopped interfering, but she decided in her heart to give Xu Xian a good scolding.
After all, they just got married, how can they put on such airs?
In the bridal chamber, Xu Xian slowly woke up.
Looking at the empty new bed, Xu Xian exclaimed, "The real world is so much better!"
He was just about to study the Dao Qi within his body when he suddenly heard some noises outside the door.
"Seriously, that guy actually made my sister bring him food!"
"This is outrageous!"
"I can't stand being mistreated right after marrying into this family!"
boom!
The door was pushed open, and Bai Suzhen, carrying a bowl of millet porridge, greeted him with a smile, saying, "My lord, you're awake!"
Xiaoqing slammed the egg and pickled vegetable dish on the table: "Get up and eat now, or you'll starve!"
"Thank you, madam. Thank you, Miss Xiaoqing."
Xu Xian bowed and thanked her, then took the towel and washbasin from Bai Suzhen. After washing up a little, he sat down with Bai Suzhen to drink porridge.
Xiaoqing watched coldly from the sidelines, occasionally glaring fiercely at Xu Xian.
Xu Xian pretended not to see it.
After breakfast, Xu Xian gazed at Bai Suzhen with deep affection, completely ignoring Xiaoqing beside him.
Xiaoqing was so angry she wanted to bite him, and she turned around and ran away.
Xu Xian made Bai Suzhen blush: "My lord..."
"I think we should exchange tokens of our love."
Xu Xian wanted to get rid of the rat demon and obtain Dao Qi, so he naturally couldn't rely on his weak body.
He needs a magic weapon.
Bai Suzhen's [Realgar White Sword]!
