Lord Holy Sword is unreliable again.

After the Tai Chi diagram dissipated, Wang Hong was taken back to Lingyue Pavilion.

He was suffering in the bridal chamber, constantly thinking about what Ji Duanyi would do to him after he found out his identity.

What's wrong with Lu Qingyuan? He promised to rescue me!

As darkness fell, Wang Hong grew anxious.

A swaying figure kicked open the door, then slammed it shut...

Ji Duanyi stared blankly at the lovely woman before him.

The phoenix coronet and embroidered veil concealed her beauty.

A nine-tiered lotus petal-shaped shawl draped over her shoulders and covered her upper arms.

Her flowing skirt, layered like clouds, accentuated her breathtaking beauty.

Her body seemed to be trembling slightly, and the star beads on her skirt collided with each other, making a sound like wind chimes meeting the Milky Way.

Ji Duanyi wondered what kind of stunning beauty was hidden beneath that alluring red veil.

I heard that Lu Qingyuan is from the Spirit Fox Clan of the Eastern Continent. Before coming to the Northern Continent, she was the most beautiful woman in the Eastern Continent. I wonder how she compares to me!

For some reason, before the ceremony was over, her father ordered it to end. I don't know what he was thinking, insisting that she and Lu Qingyuan consummate their marriage!

How can two women consummate their marriage?

Wang Hong was in agony when he heard a man say in a rough voice, "I never imagined we would meet like this."

Upon hearing that powerful voice, Wang Hong's heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as her bright red veil was abruptly ripped off.

Wang Hong closed his eyes, not daring to look. Damn it, he was really scared and disgusted!

Ji Duanyi was very satisfied with Lu Qingyuan's reaction; she could hear her heart pounding wildly: "You're very emotional? Yes, I, Ji Duanyi, am not your ideal man!"

"Now that we are married, why don't you even dare to look at me? Could it be that you are still angry and plotting to kill your husband?" The man's voice turned cold, revealing a hint of murderous intent.

A bitter expression appeared on Wang Hongru's face. He opened his eyes, and a beautiful face that made Wang Hong tremble and almost lose his soul fell into his eyes.

She smiled, but her gaze held a calm and profound quality that drew him in, as if he were falling into an abyss.

Just being stared into her eyes made him feel infatuated and unable to control himself.

As her faint fragrance filled his nostrils, Wang Hong felt completely refreshed, his entire body greedily inhaling the freshness around him.

Those delicate hands that removed the veil gently folded it neatly and placed it on her lap.

The beautiful woman before him had a delicate, melancholic, and dreamy gaze that was completely different from the image of the domineering and supreme demon emperor in his mind.

"Lu Qingyuan? Am I beautiful?" Ji Duanyi smiled slightly, seemingly satisfied with Wang Hong's reaction.

"Lu Qingyuan? Have you ever thought about what I'm like?"

"Lu Qingyuan, do you think I'm more beautiful, or are you?"

Ji Duanyi continued to speak, and Wang Hong's heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly. Every smile and frown of hers made him restless.

Wang Hong felt a sudden tremor in his heart and tightly closed his eyes.

Damn it, how come the voice I heard back then sounded like a sissy!

Ji Duanyi is a woman by nature!

Everything seemed to make sense now. No wonder Lu Qingyuan was alright; she was still herself.

Damn it, did I end up shooting myself in the foot?

That's like taking off your pants to fart—completely unnecessary!

Ji Duanyi was even more satisfied with Lu Qingyuan's reaction.

Hehe, you didn't expect me to be a woman!

Because he had once said that he would marry the most beautiful woman in the world, Lu Feng of the Lu family insisted on marrying Lu Qingyuan to him.

I don't know what got into my father, but he actually agreed!

Ji Duanyi gently stroked Lu Qingyuan's face. "Hmm, her skin is as smooth as ice and her bones as fine as jade. She has the bearing of this lord!"

She took a gentle sniff, and a faint scent that made her tremble entered her mind through her nose, making her feel refreshed.

Wang Hong quickly shrank back, seemingly terrified of Ji Duanyi.

"Are you scared out of your wits? I'm not going to eat you!"

Ji Duanyi was somewhat puzzled; Lu Qingyuan's scent seemed different from before!

Wang Hong really didn't know what to do. According to what the old man said, after they got married, their lives would be intertwined and they would be inseparable. He no longer needed to be afraid that Ji Duanyi would harm him.

The problem is, Wang Hong doesn't know whether he and Ji Duanyi have actually gotten married!

The old master said Lu Qingyuan would be fine, which means women shouldn't marry each other, otherwise Lu Qingyuan would be constantly controlled.

If they've already tied the knot, then Ji Duanyi should have known long ago that I, Wang Hong, am a man!

Or perhaps she believes that women can marry each other?

Damn it! Why is Ji Duanyi acting like an idiot, constantly touching my face!

Thinking this, Wang Hong was about to slap Ji Duanyi's hand away, but then he couldn't help but stop, shouting, "I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table! I'm a born saint, I'm a man, a real man!"

The rough, powerful voice, mixed with a masculine aura, dispelled the alluring fragrance emanating from Ji Duanyi.

She remained motionless, as if her mind had gone blank.

Wang Hong revealed his true form, his hair quickly shortened, his magnificent phoenix crown slipped to the side, he took off all his three treasures, and with a casual kick, he threw his shoes to some unknown place.

With a wave of his right hand, a black robe appeared on his body.

I have to say, Mo Jie looks quite handsome in that black robe!

"Lu Qingyuan, you...you're actually a man! No wonder Lu Feng insisted on a marriage alliance between our two clans! No wonder Father agreed to it, no wonder Father wanted me here on our wedding night!"

Seeing Lu Qingyuan reveal her true face, Ji Duanyi was shocked. She could tell from Lu Qingyuan's eyes that this guy must have been secretly in love with her for a long time.

"I just don't know where you secretly saw my esteemed face, that you insist on marrying me!"

It turns out my father has been lying to me all along!

"Yes, what could be more important than the family's interests? Perhaps in his eyes, he's even grateful he had a good daughter!"

Ji Duanyi wore a bitter expression. The White Emperor? From now on, he might just be a joke!

Ji Duanyi, overwhelmed by the sudden change and the joy of his marriage, became talkative and revealed his feelings to Wang Hong that he had never said before.

She felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted from her shoulders. She was no longer the woman who had vowed to become the Demon Emperor since birth; she had been too tired all these years.

"And what's the meaning of throwing away that celebratory red robe and putting on a black robe?"

Wang Hong really wanted to tell her that his name was Wang Hong, not Lu Qingyuan.

But Ji Duanyi is clearly not in his right mind!

Tell her I am Wang Hong, and that I went through all sorts of hardships just to save Lu Qingyuan.

I'm afraid she'll only believe that I'm going to take advantage of her tonight, right?

At this moment, Wang Hong suddenly felt that the Holy Sword and the Heavenly Heart Righteous Qi Technique were operating on their own, and a wisp of inner fire flowed into his sea of ​​consciousness between his eyebrows.

Ji Duanyi looked at Wang Hong with a dazed expression. So this is what Lu Qingyuan really looks like!

Her eyebrows were delicate and long, and her short hair was slightly unruly but not fierce. Her eyes seemed to burn with intense fire as they opened and closed.

As Wang Hong's eyes met hers, a jolt of electricity surged through their hearts, and the tingling sensation made Wang Hong's brain react slowly.

The sudden surge of inner fire brought Wang Hong back to his senses.

Sigh, even Ji Duanyi isn't as pretty as Lu Qingyuan!

Why did Lao Tzu have those feelings for her? Was it because they were married?

But she's really different! She's really different...

Whether it was seeing Yunying, Qingxiang, Huang Qianyu, or even when he first met Lu Qingyuan, who claimed to be at the pinnacle, he had never had this feeling.

"Don't overthink it, it's just the effects of getting married." Ji Duanyi seemed to know what Wang Hong was thinking, and the slight electric sensation made her very uncomfortable.

But she couldn't help wanting to get close to Lu Qingyuan. He had a strange aura about him that seemed to make the imperial aura within her feel a sense of worship.

How could that be! I am the young White Emperor!

Wang Hongtian frantically circulated his Righteous Qi Technique, sensing the tremor in Ji Duanyi's voice, and said sarcastically, "What, were you affected too?"

Before Ji Duanyi could speak, Wang Hong suddenly stood up: "If you like it, you like it; if you don't like it, you don't like it."

"I, Wang Hong, possess a righteous and upright heart; how can my will be swayed by these external things?"

"If I don't like you, even if you are beautiful and charming, and have the beauty of a thousand flowers in spring, my heart will not be moved in the slightest."

"But if I like you, even if you are thousands of miles away from me, I will do everything I can to become friends with you."

"I felt refreshed and clear-headed just from seeing you once. Ji Duanyi, I'm not lying to myself!"

"Heh, would a woman who doesn't like you at all accept you?" Ji Duanyi seemed not to have heard the name "Wang Hong." Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes became increasingly unfocused.

"If she has seen my greatness and understood everything about me, but still is not moved by me, it can only be said that she is not good enough for me. I will naturally lose the feeling of being restless and excited about her, and naturally lose all interest in her."

"Then it seems you're destined to grow old alone!" Ji Duanyi's eyes flashed with disdain upon hearing these narcissistic words.

The world is vast and full of wonders. There are always things beyond our understanding, and people beyond our reach!

Looking up at the large red silk ribbon above his head, Wang Hong said proudly, "If I have no one in my heart, I will naturally pursue immortality and enlightenment. If I could know everything in the world with a single thought, how could I not find a woman I desire?"

"If you had the power to know everything under heaven, would you still be so attached to women?" Broken Wing's tone was icy, with a hint of mockery.

Hearing her tone, Wang Hong couldn't help but become enigmatic: "If you are persistent, you will naturally find her as soon as your mind moves, and you will not be persistent; if you are not persistent, you will naturally not look for her when your mind is still, and you will not be persistent."

"When I am not attached, even if there are thousands of celestial maidens and goddesses in the world, they are nothing to me. What I was attached to before will naturally vanish like a dream or a bubble. To me, it will naturally return to emptiness."

At this moment, Wang Hong stared intently into Ji Duanyi's eyes, no longer timid. His gaze swept over her from her black hair to her beautiful feet, inch by inch, moving up and down.

Her flawless, fair skin radiated a dazzling golden light, and the golden rays, accompanied by an intoxicating aura, washed over him, causing Wang Hong to squint slightly.

Her jet-black hair was tied high with a jade crown, which made her long, slender neck appear even more prominent.

Her sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards towards her temples, and her rosy lips shimmered with a subtle light.

Her jawline is soft yet sharp; her elegant demeanor reveals a formidable edge.

Her slender figure was graceful and beautiful, and her red official robe made her look even more feminine, making one want to embrace her.

"Have you seen enough?" Her expression suddenly turned cold.

Lu Qingyuan's scrutinizing gaze caused her imperial aura to vibrate continuously within her body.

She hates this feeling!
