This scholar is a bit cruel

Chapter 380 Rolling Pin
"Woo——"

Outside the window, the night wind howled, and the moonlight was cold and clear.

Inside the room, the red candles burned warmly, and the wedding pillows were placed in pairs. The newlyweds looked at each other across the table.

The atmosphere between the two was strange and tense.

"Isn't it?"

As Luo Zijun spoke, he moved closer to the bride.

The bride silently walked around the table, maintaining a distance of about half a table from him.

Ironically, the red veil was still on her head.

Luo Zijun stopped, speechless: "We've already had the wedding ceremony, is this really necessary?"

The bride said coldly, "Just like when we were at the Bai residence, we'll each sleep in our own rooms."

Luo Zijun's face darkened, and she coldly snorted, "This isn't the Bai residence, and I'm not your son-in-law. If you know what's good for you, come and consummate your marriage with me obediently, otherwise, hmph!"

"How else?"

Bai Meixue also snorted coldly, straightened her chest, and regained her Miss Bai's imposing manner.

She was naturally not afraid of him.

"You really want to do this?"

"How about this?"

"it is good!"

Suddenly, Luo Zijun pounced like a hungry wolf, leaping directly off the table.

Bai Meixue flashed to the other side of the table, still facing him across the table, a smug look on her lips beneath her red veil.

Luo Zijun missed her target and had no choice but to pick up the wine cup on the table and say, "Miss, let's drink the nuptial wine first."

"Don't drink!"

Bai Meixue refused outright.

She knew perfectly well what this cunning fellow was up to; he was definitely trying to seize her while the two of them were drinking from the same cup.

"You can fool other women all you want, but you think you can fool me? Humph, no way!"

She snorted coldly.

"Shh!"

Luo Zijun threw a punch, sending a gust of wind through the air. With a "whoosh," the red veil on her head was blown off, revealing a beautiful and incomparable face.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Meixue paused for a moment, and two blushes quickly spread across her face.

Luo Zijun said, "Since we can't share a bed, let's just look at each other across the table. I can't not even be able to see my own bride's face, can I?"

"Humph!"

Bai Meixue snorted, her cheeks flushed even redder, and she glared at him.

With her appearance and expression, coupled with the bride's red wedding dress and makeup, she was even more beautiful and alluring.

Luo Zijun decided to completely break down her psychological defenses.

“Young Miss, I remember you weren’t like this back underground. At first, you were also indifferent, but slowly, you became warm, even taking the initiative to kiss me and show your love for me… You even said that I should serve you every night, you…”

"Shut up!"

Bai Meixue was both ashamed and anxious. She glared at him with her eyes full of shame and anger, and pretended to hit him.

"I...I was helping you...helping you detoxify..."

She stammered, embarrassed and annoyed, as she offered her explanation.

Luo Zijun looked at her intently and said, "Alright, help me detoxify. But Miss, the detoxification cannot be abandoned halfway. The poison from before has not only not been cured, but has penetrated deep into my bone marrow, heart, soul, and body. I am about to die from the poison... Tonight, I need you to continue to help me detoxify! This time, my body is poisoned, and it is very serious."

Bai Meixue glared at him but ignored him.

Will you help me or not?

"No help!"

"Hey--"

Luo Zijun sighed and said, "Are you really not going to help?"

Bai Meixue said, "Yes, I won't help!"

"Okay, forget it."

Luo Zijun didn't press the matter further: "These things can't be forced. Let's talk about it when you've thought it through. It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Anyway, we've already had our wedding ceremony, whether it's Miss Bai or the Moon Palace Fairy."

After saying that, he glanced at her a few more times, then turned and walked towards the door.

"where are you going?"

Bai Meixue looked at his retreating figure and asked.

"Squeak..."

Luo Zijun opened the door, turned around and said, "Where can I go? You won't let me sleep in the bed, so I can only go to A-Wu's place."

After saying that, he left the room, closed the door, and quickly walked away.

After the footsteps disappeared into the courtyard outside, Bai Meixue lingered at the table for a while before walking to the door. Looking at the empty courtyard, she was lost in thought for a moment before saying in a low voice, "Damn it, on our wedding night, he actually went to find another woman... Couldn't he have at least tried to coax me a little longer?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a voice came from the right side of the doorway: "Is it too late to coax her now?"

Bai Meixue's pretty face changed, and she was about to run away when Luo Zijun flashed out, grabbed her hair, and pulled her back forcefully.

"what……"

Bai Meixue cried out in pain, tilting her pretty face up in his arms, her eyes wide with disbelief as she looked at him: "You...you grabbed my hair?"

Luo Zijun closed the door, picked her up in his arms, and said in a low voice, "So what if I grab your hair? I'll grab other parts of you later."

With that, he carried her to bed.

Curtains and curtains obscured the view, and shadows overlapped.

"Young Miss, how about we separate our souls first? Souls first, then physical bodies? That way you won't be shy... After all, in soul form, you're quite proactive."

"..." Outside the window, the cold wind howled, swept past the windowsill, and flew into the night.

The entire Snake Valley was quiet and secluded.

Suddenly, a light rain began to fall in the valley, pattering down and wetting the rock walls and the flowers and grass, enveloping the entire valley in a misty, poetic atmosphere.

In a secret room somewhere in the palace.

Princess Yin Ning, who was preparing to cultivate, suddenly felt flustered and unable to concentrate. Then, her body began to feel weak and she could not control herself.

"hateful……"

She jumped into the icy pool, hoping to use the frigid water to dispel the sudden sensation that had overwhelmed her, but to no avail.

Instead, I felt increasingly uncomfortable.

Suddenly, she couldn't help but let out a suppressed and shameful groan.

The night was filled with the continuous drizzle.

The next day.

The newlyweds did not get up, nor did the second princess emerge from the secret chamber.

Three days later.

Yin Ning arrived at Luo Zijun and Bai Meixue's residence with a cold expression. She stared at the two of them fiercely for a while before saying, "It's time to go and pay respects to our ancestors and swear an oath."

The two followed behind and arrived at the most heavily guarded ancestral worship site in Snake Valley.

All the sacrificial items had already been prepared.

Yin Ning ordered the two to kneel before the statue of the Holy Ancestor, kowtow three times, and then begin to swear an oath by dripping blood.

When the blood and essence of the two were dripped into the alms bowl in front of the stone statue, a golden light flashed and the blood and essence disappeared.

Luo Zijun could clearly feel that this vow had been planted in her body, like an indelible mark on her bones.

No wonder the second princess insisted that they hold their wedding ceremony here and make their vows to their ancestors here.

In that case, they cannot back out.

After taking the oath, the two became full members of the snake clan.

Yin Ning stood to the side, staring at the two with a cold gaze, like a venomous snake waiting for its chance to strike, exuding a chilling aura.

"How did I offend this second princess?"

The wedding ceremony, the ancestral worship, and the vows were all done according to her wishes. So why is the look in her eyes now filled with murderous intent?
Luo Zijun was very puzzled.

"Well, we've already paid our respects to our ancestors and sworn an oath. When can we leave?"

On the way back, Luo Zijun asked.

Yin Ning did not answer, and walked ahead with a cold expression. When they were almost at the palace, Fang Hansheng said, "His Majesty informed me yesterday that you will stay here for a while."

Luo Zijun frowned: "But the Second Princess said before that we could leave after we had our wedding ceremony and ancestral vows."

A crimson light flashed in Yin Ning's eyes, and she said coldly, "Here, everyone must listen to His Majesty, and I am no exception."

Having said that, he prepared to leave.

After taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, then couldn't hold back any longer. She turned around and stared at the two of them with a chilling gaze, saying, "Can't you two just shut up? Three nights in a row, not stopping for a moment. Aren't you afraid of dying in bed?"

After saying that, he left quickly.

The two paused for a moment, then looked at each other.

Bai Meixue blushed instantly.

Luo Zijun asked in confusion, "How did she know? And what does it have to do with him?"

As he spoke, he took her soft little hand and said, "Let's go, let's continue! This time, we'll be on the ground."

As the two entered the palace and prepared to return to their room, they saw Shui Wu at the entrance of the courtyard.

When Shui Wu saw the two walking hand in hand, she quickly lowered her head and was about to leave when Luo Zijun called out to her, "A Wu, is something the matter?"

Shuiwu quickly shook her head: "No, it's nothing. The gift that the fox princess sent that night, I... I put it in your room. Go back and take a look."

After saying that, he quickly left.

Luo Zijun was about to ask her to come along, but after thinking about it, she was afraid of being beaten to death, so she had no choice but to lead Miss Bai into the house.

On the table near the window was a rectangular brocade box, the very gift that the fox-woman general had personally given him that night.

"It's so long, I guess it's a thousand-year-old ginseng."

"Hehe, how did that fox princess know that I just needed to replenish my energy?"

Luo Zijun came to the table and eagerly opened the brocade box.

However, the moment the box was opened, when he saw the gift lying inside, he gaped open, stunned or frightened, and stood frozen in place.

Inside the box lay a thick rolling pin!

Bai Meixue noticed his strange expression and came over to check. When she saw that the gift was just an ordinary rolling pin, she was stunned and looked puzzled.

"what is this?"

Of course she knew it was a rolling pin.

But why would a princess of the fox clan travel all the way to send a general to deliver a rolling pin?

Could it be that what appears to be a rolling pin is actually... a ginseng shaped like a rolling pin?
She took out a rolling pin from the brocade box, and just as she was about to examine it carefully, Luo Zijun's trembling voice suddenly came from beside her: "Don't move! Put it down!"

Bai Meixue quickly put it down, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Luo Zijun's face was pale, and she said in a trembling voice, "No...it's nothing, I just felt...so...terrified..."

"fear?"

Bai Meixue became even more puzzled upon hearing this.

It's just a rolling pin, what's so scary about it?

"Snapped!"

Luo Zijun quickly closed the cardboard box and put it into her storage ring, saying, "Meixue, wait here for a while. I have some things to do and need to see the Second Princess. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he quickly walked out of the room, almost tripping over the threshold, looking preoccupied and lost.
