Huang Rong from The Return of the Condor Heroes: Brother Jing, let's get a divorce.

Chapter 142 The Treasure Sword, Living Off a Soft Rice Tastes Good

The air inside the stone chamber carried a hint of enchanting sweetness.

Xiaolongnu nestled in Yang Guo's arms, and the word "I like you" completely unlocked the lock in her heart.

She raised her head, her eyes no longer holding any coldness.

"Since you like me too, then let's..."

As she spoke, her hands began to wander and untie Yang Guo's belt.

Yang Guo felt a chill run down his spine; this happiness had come too quickly, almost overwhelming him. If it were any other time or place, he would have wholeheartedly agreed and immediately consummated their marriage.

But that won't work now!

Outside the ancient tomb, there was a man named Ouyang Feng with a peculiar way of thinking, and he hadn't even released the pressure points on my body.

What if he was in the middle of things and the old poisoner suddenly burst in and asked, "Is the grandson done yet?" The thought was too horrible to contemplate.

Moreover, this is a major life event, and we can't just settle it off on this cold, hard stone, can we?

"Wait! Sister Dragon, wait a minute!"

Yang Guo grabbed Xiaolongnu's mischievous hand, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Xiaolongnu paused, her brows furrowing slightly, her eyes instantly turning cold: "You've changed your mind?"

"How could that be!" Yang Guo quickly swore, "If I go back on my word, may I be struck by lightning and never have a seasoning packet in my instant noodles again!"

Although she didn't understand what instant noodles were, seeing Yang Guo's anxious expression, Xiaolongnu's expression softened slightly: "Then why do we have to stop?"

"Sister Long, think about it," Yang Guo said earnestly, "This is our wedding, a major event in life. Although our Ancient Tomb Sect doesn't care about those formalities, we still need some sense of ceremony, right? Look at this place, it's bare, there isn't even a red candle, how shabby."

He paused, then pulled out his trump card: "Besides, my father is still outside. If he hears the commotion and comes in, how will we ever face anyone again? And Grandma Sun, she raised you; wouldn't it be incredibly unfilial of us to get married without telling her?"

Little Dragon Girl tilted her head and thought for a moment.

That seems to make sense.

Although she didn't care about worldly opinions, Granny Sun was indeed family. Moreover, she didn't want to be disturbed by that madman Ouyang Feng while she was handling matters.

"You're right." Little Dragon Girl nodded, stepped out of Yang Guo's embrace, straightened her clothes, and said, "Then we should hold a wedding ceremony first."

Yang Guo breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Right, right, we have to have a wedding ceremony first, then drink the nuptial wine, and it would be best to get two sets of red clothes, for a festive touch!"

"Clothes..." Little Dragon Girl hesitated for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up. "Come with me."

After saying that, she took Yang Guo's hand and turned to walk out.

"Where are we going?" Yang Guo followed behind eagerly.

"Take the dowry."

The two traversed several winding tomb passages and arrived at a rarely opened stone chamber. Xiaolongnu pressed a few buttons on the wall, and with a muffled grinding sound, the heavy stone door slowly opened.

Yang Guo felt a pang of despair in his heart.

This woman is challenging her own weakness again!

Although Yang Guo was prepared, the golden light still blinded him.

"Holy shit..." Yang Guo blurted out a curse word on his own.

The stone chamber was filled with boxes of all sizes. Some of the boxes were open, revealing their contents: gold, silver, jewels, agate, jade, and pearl necklaces. In the corner, several mountains of gold and silver were piled up, shimmering with a dazzling light under the ever-burning lamps.

Although Yang Guo had seen it once, he was still utterly shocked the next time.

Although I knew that Wang Chongyang had raised a lot of military funds to fight against the Jin dynasty, the visual impact of this was still too strong. With this amount of money, let alone buying half of Lin'an, it would be more than enough to buy the position of the Pacification Commissioner Dangdang.

"These..." Yang Guo swallowed hard. "Are they all from our family?"

Yang Guo's fate remains uncertain!

"Hmm." Little Dragon Girl responded lightly, "Our ancestral master defeated Wang Chongyang back then, so everything in this ancient tomb belongs to us."

She released Yang Guo's hand, walked to the middle of the treasure pile, and began to rummage through it.

Yang Guo watched her casual movements, his heart bleeding. "My dear lady," he thought, "that's top-grade mutton-fat jade! Can you please throw it gently?"

"Guo'er, take whatever you like," Xiaolongnu said without turning her head. "These are all worldly possessions; they'll just gather dust anyway. Since you're going to marry me, consider these my dowry."

Yang Guo felt like he was being kept by a rich woman.

This feeling of being taken advantage of is really sweet.

He rubbed his hands together as he walked over, picked up a luminous pearl, examined it, and then put it down. He picked up a gold brick, weighed it in his hand, and then put it down again. Although he was greedy and lustful, at this moment, looking at the busy Little Dragon Girl, he felt that this woman was ten thousand times more precious than all the treasures in the room.

"Found it."

Xiaolongnu suddenly straightened up, holding two long swords in her hands.

She walked up to Yang Guo and handed him one of the guns: "Try this one."

Yang Guo took the longsword. The scabbard was simple and unadorned, entirely black, exuding a desolate and ancient feel. It was extremely heavy, clearly not made of ordinary iron.

"Clang!"

The longsword was drawn, its cold light gleaming.

The sword was jet black, without a trace of luster, like a piece of black wood, yet the blade exuded a chilling aura. Near the hilt, two small ancient seal characters were engraved: "Gentleman".

"The Gentleman's Sword?" Yang Guo blurted out.

He turned to look at the sword in Xiaolongnu's hand. Sure enough, it was almost identical in shape, only slightly shorter, with the words "Lady" engraved on the blade.

The gentleman's sword, the lady's sword.

"These swords were also left behind by Wang Chongyang." Xiaolongnu stroked the blade of the Lady's Sword, a hint of fondness flashing in her eyes. "They're said to be a pair of lovers' swords. The blades are magnetic, and when the two swords are combined, their power is doubled. Perfect, one for you, one for me."

Yang Guo was overjoyed.

This is a divine weapon! Although it can't compare to a devastating weapon like the Xuan Tie Heavy Sword, it's definitely one of the best in the current martial arts world. And the name is so auspicious—a perfect match for a gentleman and a lady.

"What a fine sword!" Yang Guo twirled the sword, feeling his inner strength flowing into it without any hindrance. It was many times stronger than the broken tree branch he had used before. "Sister Long, this dowry is too precious."

"Your people are all mine, what's the difference between valuable and not valuable things?" Little Dragon Girl said matter-of-factly.

This domineering statement made Yang Guo feel the aura of the Ancient Tomb Sect leader once again.

Little Dragon Girl hung the Lady's Sword at her waist, then turned and disappeared into the pile of boxes. This time she searched for even longer, emptying several large boxes completely.

"Where is it..." she muttered, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

Yang Guo also joined in to help: "Sister Long, what are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

"A red dress." Little Dragon Girl didn't even look up. "It was left by the Ancestral Master. She said it was for her wedding, but later... later she never got to wear it, so it was locked away."

"How strange, who will the Ancestral Master marry?"

Yang Guo's heart skipped a beat.

Lin Chaoying's wedding dress?

There really was a wedding dress! Yang Guo was just making it up as an excuse!

But he dared not say anything, and could only keep his head down and continue the search.

Finally, in a red lacquered wooden box in a corner, the two found the long-forgotten wedding dress.

Although decades have passed, the garment is remarkably well-preserved. It is made of the finest Shu brocade, embroidered with auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns in gold thread, and even in dim lighting, it shimmers and exudes a dazzling, luxurious beauty.

Little Dragon Girl held the phoenix coronet and wedding gown, her eyes sparkling with starlight.

That's every girl's dream about her wedding.

Even someone as aloof as Xiaolongnu is not immune to the common fate.

"Guo'er, does it look good?" She gestured to herself and turned to ask Yang Guo.

"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful!" Yang Guo exclaimed sincerely. "Sister Long, if you wore this, you would definitely be the most beautiful bride in the world, even the Queen Mother of the West would have to step aside."

Xiaolongnu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a shy smile.

"Then I'll wear this." She made the decision. "You go and change into that men's outfit, and I'll go to the stone chamber next door to change into this one."

After saying that, she picked up the clothes and was about to leave.

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the tomb passage.

"Girl? Guo'er? Where are you?"

It was Granny Sun.

She woke up early that morning and found the ancient tomb quiet. She went to Xiaolongnu's room, but no one was there; she went to Yang Guo's room, but no one was there either.

Good heavens, those two didn't come home last night! Are young people these days having such wild parties?

"Mother-in-law!"

Yang Guo called out and went out to greet them.

Granny Sun came running over, panting, carrying a vegetable basket. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu standing there unharmed, and plopped down on a nearby stone stool.

"Oh my little darlings! You should at least have let this old woman know you were coming to restock and stay overnight!" Granny Sun patted her chest, seemingly noticing the wedding dress on Little Dragon Girl, and asked in confusion, "What are you all doing dressed like that?"

At this moment, Yang Guo held the Gentleman's Sword in his hand and carried a man's wedding robe in his arms. Xiaolongnu held the Lady's Sword in her hand and carried a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe in her arms.

The way the two of them are dressed looks bizarre no matter how you look at it.

When Little Dragon Girl saw Granny Sun, a bright smile bloomed on her face.

"Grandma, you've come back just in time." She walked over and took Grandma Sun's hand. "We're going to have our wedding ceremony later, and you'll be our officiant."

"What?"

Grandma Sun's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets; she wondered if she had misheard.

She looked at Xiaolongnu, then at Yang Guo, her mouth opening and closing several times before she finally found her voice: "We...we'll have a wedding ceremony? With whom? Guo'er?"

"Yes," Little Dragon Girl nodded, her face completely at ease. "Who else could it be but Yang Guo?"

Grandma Sun was completely dumbfounded.

Although these two seemed a bit intimate yesterday, they still maintained proper decorum. How come they're getting married today after only one night?

Isn't this progress a bit too fast?
