"Mother-in-law, you're wronging me."

Yang Guo tucked the Gentleman's Sword under his armpit, spread his hands, and wore his signature roguish smile. "This isn't me being silly. Sister Long said that she can't repay the life-saving grace without offering herself in return. I figured, our Ancient Tomb Sect doesn't have many rules. Since we're mutually in love, let's not hesitate and get it done while the feelings are still fresh. Haven't you been looking forward to this day?"

Granny Sun was stunned by what she heard, and turned to look at Little Dragon Girl.

Xiaolongnu didn't speak, but simply nodded gently. Her usually cold eyes now seemed to hold a pool of spring water.

"Young lady, have you thought this through?" Granny Sun's voice trembled slightly. "This is a lifelong matter, not something to joke about. This boy is clever, but also slippery, you..."

"I've made up my mind," Little Dragon Girl interrupted her. "I want to be with him, right here in this ancient tomb, and never leave. I don't want anyone else but him."

Yang Guo was overjoyed by Xiaolongnu's confession, and he wished he could do two somersaults on the spot.

"See? That's my charm!"

Grandma Sun looked at the girl she had raised since she was a child.

Once upon a time, this girl was like a block of ice that would never melt, devoid of joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness, ignorant of human relationships, living like a delicate puppet. Granny Sun once thought that after she passed away, the girl would grow old alone in this desolate grave.

But everything changed after Yang came.

The girl can laugh, get angry, and play pranks; now she's even learned how to flirt with men.

Grandma Sun couldn't say whether this change was good or bad, but seeing the smile hidden on the girl's face, she was genuinely happy for her.

"Good! Good! Good!" Granny Sun said three times, tears streaming down her face. "Since the young lady has made up her mind, then Granny will take care of the arrangements! Although our Ancient Tomb Sect is small in number, we can't be careless about such a joyous occasion!"

She threw the vegetable basket on the ground, ignoring the few wild vegetables she had just dug, and pulled Xiaolongnu's hand to walk inside.

"Come on, let me comb your hair! Our girl is going to be a bride today!"

……

Inside the stone chamber, red candles burned brightly.

Although there was no loud gongs and drums outside, and no guests filling the room, the flickering candlelight made the cold ancient tomb feel warm and cozy.

Little Dragon Girl sat gracefully in front of the stone mirror.

The phoenix coronet and embroidered robe that had been gathering dust for decades fit her perfectly. The bright red wedding dress accentuated her snow-white skin, adding an unprecedented touch of radiance to her originally aloof temperament, making her so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

Grandma Sun stood behind her, holding a peach wood comb, gently combing her cascading black hair.

"Combing from head to toe, a harmonious and respectful marriage..."

Grandma Sun's voice was choked with emotion, and her hands trembled slightly with each stroke of her comb.

"Combing twice until white hair reaches the eyebrows..."

The Little Dragon Girl in the mirror looked at Granny Sun and softly called out, "Granny."

"Oh," Granny Sun responded, tears falling onto Xiaolongnu's hair. She quickly wiped them away with her sleeve. "Grandma is happy, truly happy. Before, Grandma always worried that if I left one day, you would be all alone in this world, all miserable and helpless, with no one to help you if you were bullied. Now it's all right, with You'er here, Grandma can close her eyes in peace."

Little Dragon Girl reached out and grasped Granny Sun's rough hands, pressing them against her cheek.

"My mother-in-law won't leave; we'll stay together forever."

"Silly child, no one is immune to death." Granny Sun smiled through her tears and lovingly stroked her face. "From now on, you won't just be the leader of our Ancient Tomb Sect, you'll also be someone's wife and a mother in the future. You need to change your temper; don't always have such a cold face. Husbands and wives need to be warmer in their daily lives."

When the word "becoming a mother" was mentioned, two blushes appeared on Xiaolongnu's face, and she softly hummed in agreement.

Outside the door, Yang Guo had already changed into his men's wedding attire.

He was used to wearing coarse cloth robes, but now that he had changed into this brocade robe, he looked tall and straight, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. What a handsome young man!

He paced back and forth at the door, glancing inside every now and then, feeling restless and anxious.

"Yang Guo, come in."

Hearing Granny Sun's call, Yang Guo took a deep breath and pushed open the door to enter.

When he saw the Little Dragon Girl sitting in front of the mirror, his breath hitched.

He knew Sister Long was beautiful, but he never imagined she could be this beautiful. Her beauty wasn't just physical; it was a perfect blend of purity and allure that emanated from her very being.

"Are you stunned?" Grandma Sun teased.

"I'm stupid, really stupid," Yang Guo muttered to himself. "It's only because I, Yang Guo, am lucky that I have this good fortune. If it were anyone else, how could they have accumulated such good fortune over several lifetimes?"

Little Dragon Girl looked at his blank-minded appearance in the mirror, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"Alright, stop joking around." Granny Sun gently placed a red veil over Little Dragon Girl's head. "The auspicious time has arrived. Let's go and pay our respects."

In the main hall of the ancient tomb, there is a portrait of the ancestral master, Lin Chaoying.

The woman in the portrait is exceptionally beautiful, yet her brows bear a faint trace of sorrow.

Yang Guo held one end of the red ribbon and Xiaolongnu held the other. The two stood side by side in front of the portrait.

Without a master of ceremonies, Granny Sun was the only witness in this world.

"I bow to Heaven and Earth!"

The two turned and bowed deeply before the heavy stone gate of the ancient tomb. They bowed to the workings of heaven and earth that had brought them together in this chaotic world.

"Bowing to the parents a second time!"

The two turned around and knelt down in front of the portraits of Granny Sun and Lin Chaoying.

Grandma Sun received the bow and smiled broadly, her face full of wrinkles. She quickly reached out to help her up, saying, "Get up, get up quickly."

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu stood facing each other.

Through the red veil, Yang Guo seemed to be able to feel the other person's slightly rapid breathing.

Once this bow is made, they are bound by blood and will share life and death.

"The ceremony is complete!"

Grandma Sun shouted, her voice echoing through the empty tomb passage, lingering for a long time.

"Guo'er," Granny Sun suddenly said sternly, looking at Yang Guo with a serious expression, "I'm entrusting the young lady to you today. I don't care if you're glib and talkative, but if you dare to let the young lady suffer even the slightest grievance, if you dare to wrong her, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

Yang Guo dropped his playful grin and solemnly raised his hand: "Grandma, rest assured, Heaven and Earth above, Grandmaster Grandma, I, Yang Guo, swear today that I will never betray Sister Long in this life. If I break this oath, may I be struck by lightning and cast into the eighteenth level of hell after death, never to be reincarnated!"

Xiaolongnu's body trembled slightly, and a sweet smile curved her lips beneath the red veil.

"Alright, the vows have been made, and the wedding ceremony has been held." Granny Sun waved her hand with a warm, aunt-like smile. "Let's send them to the bridal chamber. I'll go and guard the door for you, so you can have a healthy baby boy soon. I can even help you take care of him."

……

The stone chamber where the Jade Bed was located has now been furnished as a new house.

Although it was a new house, it was nothing more than two more red candles and a few pieces of red silk.

Yang Guo led Xiaolongnu to sit on the cold jade bed.

This bed is usually freezing cold, but today, Yang Guo didn't feel so cold under his buttocks, perhaps it was just his imagination.

He picked up the jade scale beam that was placed to the side, his hands trembling slightly.

Lift the veil.

He had seen this kind of work countless times in picture books, but this was his first time actually doing it.

And I didn't use this tactic with Sister Rong back then!

As the red cloth was slowly lifted, that stunningly beautiful face was revealed once again.

In the flickering candlelight, Xiaolongnu's eyes were filled with affection, her cheeks flushed, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Sister Long..." Yang Guo's Adam's apple bobbed, and he felt like his throat was on fire.

Little Dragon Girl raised her head, looked at him, her eyes sparkling: "Why call me sister? Call me wife."

"Yes, my wife!" Yang Guo answered crisply and loudly.

The two stared at each other for a moment, and the temperature in the air seemed to rise steadily.

"Um..." Yang Guo scratched his head, suddenly feeling a little awkward, "Shouldn't we drink the nuptial wine?"

Little Dragon Girl shook her head: "There is no wine in the ancient tomb."

"Then... what should we do?"

"There is a herbal remedy called Hehuan San."

Little Dragon Girl took out two small porcelain bottles from her sleeve and handed one to Yang Guo, saying, "Use medicine instead of wine, and enjoy a sweet and happy life."

Yang Guo was completely dumbfounded. Sister Long was playing such a wild game!

But if others aren't afraid, why should I be worried?

With a flick of his neck, Yang Guo finished the entire drink.

It has a slightly sweet taste upon first bite.

Yang Guo smacked his lips, a suspicion creeping into his mind: Why does this taste so familiar? It doesn't seem like some kind of potent medicine, but rather like the jade bee nectar that Sister Long usually feeds to the jade bees...?

He glanced at her and saw a rare hint of a smile flash in Xiaolongnu's eyes.

"Sister Long, you..." Yang Guo suddenly realized that this was not some kind of aphrodisiac at all. It was clearly Sister Long teasing him with this sweet syrup because she saw that he was embarrassed.

A great weight was lifted from his heart, yet a unique sweetness also rose within him.

Setting down the porcelain bottle, Yang Guo looked at the person before him, and the rage within him began to surge again. The thoughts he had forcibly suppressed to save her were now unleashed like a volcano.

But he was also a little hesitant to move.

After all, this was Xiaolongnu, the unattainable fairy sister in his heart. Even after the wedding ceremony, a trace of that awe still lingered.

"How long are you going to sit there like an idiot?" Little Dragon Girl suddenly spoke, her tone tinged with reproach. "When you were detoxifying me earlier, you seemed pretty brave, didn't you?"

Yang Guo blushed slightly: "But the situation was urgent."

"The situation is urgent now." Xiaolongnu reached out and gently ran her fingertips along Yang Guo's collar, her eyes becoming somewhat unfocused. "Although the poison in my body has been cured, my ancestral master said that the final level of the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra requires two people to be of one mind and have their yin and yang in harmony in order to achieve mastery. Tonight... is a good time to practice."

What the hell is this?!

Yang Guo almost burst out laughing. His wife's ability to make excuses was just as good as his own.

"Since my wife has given the order, then I have no choice but to risk my life to accompany her in practicing martial arts."

Yang Guo grinned mischievously and pounced forward.

"what……"

Little Dragon Girl let out a soft cry.

"My wife, you are so beautiful," Yang Guo whispered in her ear.

The warm breath sprayed onto her earlobes, and Xiaolongnu's body went limp. Her hands, which had been resting against her chest, slowly wrapped around his neck.

"Stop talking nonsense..." She closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, "Turn off the light."

Yang Guo raised his hand and unleashed a palm strike.

"puff!"

The red candle went out.
