Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 23 Choice

Nightmare!

Another nightmare!

Luo Qingfeng woke up with a start, his head throbbing and his back drenched in sweat.

Outside the window, it was already daylight.

What happened?

Why do I keep having nightmares like this?

He covered his head, suddenly becoming somewhat suspicious.

Could it be that a demon invaded the body and deliberately created this?

But why does the demon keep scaring him like this?

Suddenly, a terrible thought popped into his head!

Could it be that this demon enjoys feeding on his fears, which is why it keeps creating nightmares to terrify him?

The nightingale had told him that.

Many parasitic demons grow and advance by consuming the negative emotions of their hosts.

They will try every means to induce the host to produce various negative emotions.

Is there a demon within him? Or...?

He was breathing heavily, his gaze fixed on the doorway with suspicion and uncertainty.

...Was it made in the room across the street?

Could it be that she also enjoys absorbing fear, and has already devoured the real Zhao'er, and then wants to marry him and keep creating nightmares for him, constantly absorbing his fear?

Until he completely breaks down, and then completely consumes him?

The nightingale said that only by becoming strong can one completely drive away the demon.

The book also says that only when one is strong will the demons not dare to approach or invade.

Although he has now lit up the Star Lamp and become a cultivator of the First Star of Creation, he is not considered powerful.

Therefore, it is very likely that a demon also resides within him.

Of course, the most likely scenario is that the other side is a real demon, and she is the cause of all this...

Today is the eighth day of the ninth lunar month, there are still three days left.

He must make a choice in three days!

He needed to carefully consider whether to take the risk of asking those exorcists for help, or to back down and marry her first.

The first option, seeking help from exorcists, might directly anger them, and one's fate could be uncertain.

His second option is to first back down and marry her. If she is attracted to his fear, then he will not be in immediate danger. He can endure the humiliation, bide his time, and secretly cultivate his skills. Once he is strong enough, he can find an opportunity to eliminate her.

However, the second option was the hardest for him to accept: he might have to consummate his marriage with her, and he certainly wouldn't be able to become strong enough in a short time. In other words, choosing the second option meant he might have to sleep with her every night, and might be...

Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

Of course, it's also possible that the other person doesn't like his fear, but something else entirely.

In any case, either choice carries significant risks.

He needs to think about it carefully.

It was already bright outside the window.

He didn't dare waste any more time, so he immediately got out of bed, dressed, and washed up.

The room across the street is empty.

Zi'er has also left.

After washing up, he took out the gold, cut off a small piece with scissors, and then went out.

This small piece of gold will last him a long time.

But can he live that long?

Thinking of this, his heart grew heavy again.

Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time, and he couldn't delay any longer. Otherwise, with his current cultivation speed, he could definitely become even stronger very quickly.

I bought some cooked meat from the butcher shop and immediately left the town.

We were very careful the whole way.

After leaving the town, he hid behind a big tree and observed for a long time. Seeing that no one was following him, he prepared to go back to the grove of trees from the previous day to cultivate.

But after thinking about it, he changed to another direction of the woods.

Two demons died there yesterday, and they must have been discovered today. It might not be safe to go there to cultivate again.

To the southwest, there is also a forest.

In this era, towering trees and forests are everywhere.

Of course, there are also many wild animals.

Luo Qingfeng entered the woods and carefully observed the area for a while. Seeing that there was no one else around, he began to eat the cooked meat.

The three pounds of cooked meat were quickly finished.

After a short rest, he began practicing his boxing.

Today, while practicing my boxing, I still used Star Power, unleashing maximum power with every punch.

This allows the body to undergo maximum tempering.

After performing the entire set of boxing techniques, sweat was beading on his forehead and his skin was starting to feel hot.

The bones and muscles inside the body also have a kind of warmth after being tempered.

The rising sun slowly climbed into the sky from the horizon.

at the same time.

In the grove where he practiced his boxing yesterday, a slender girl in a patched black dress stood motionless under a large tree, lost in thought.

That pretty, youthful face always had that naturally innocent look, appearing dazed and silly, until it got dark.

In the evening, Luo Qingfeng returned to the town.

After dinner, he went to bed early and fell asleep quickly.

He woke up in the early hours of the morning.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual outside, he locked the door and windows and began to continue his cultivation by the window.

After lighting the star lamp, one no longer needs to be directly bathed in starlight to cultivate.

This makes it much safer.

The next day.

As dawn broke, he ended his practice.

At that moment, as he thought about the two lines of data in his mind, the two lines of blue text immediately appeared.

[Progress: 85]

[Creation Star Realm, Progress: Fifteen]

As expected, it has increased again!

Fifteen more to go, let's continue tonight!

He went back to bed and forced himself to fall asleep.

When he woke up, the sun had already risen.

He went to the butcher shop again to buy cooked meat, then left the town and went to the grove of trees where he had practiced his cultivation the day before.

Today is the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, there are still two days left!

As he finished eating the cooked meat and practiced his boxing in the woods, the petite girl in the patched black dress was once again lost in thought in a grove of trees to the south.

September 10th.

That evening.

After Luo Qingfeng returned to the Song family, his cousin Song Yuanshan asked Zi'er to invite him over for a meal to discuss the wedding ceremony the day after tomorrow.

Before long, Su Zhao'er and Song Wan'er also returned.

Apart from Song Chuan going to Wangxing City, the whole family and the maids gathered around the dinner table.

As the group discussed things to keep in mind for their wedding the day after tomorrow, Su Zhao'er was particularly excited.

After everyone had finished speaking, Luo Qingfeng picked up his teacup, stood up, and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I've decided that after my wedding ceremony with Zhao'er the day after tomorrow, I'll move out with her. I've already troubled you for so long, I can't trouble you any further."

Song Yuanshan frowned slightly and said, "Qingfeng, why bring this up again? Your uncle will not agree."

Yang Lan quickly added, "We're family, don't worry about the trouble. Qingfeng, after you and Zhao'er get married, you can live here. Now that your cousin is gone, the house is spacious enough for you to stay as you please. There's food and drink here, and maids to serve you. What's wrong with that? If you move out right after getting married, outsiders will definitely talk badly about your aunt behind your back. Your aunt will absolutely not agree to that."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her, then bowed respectfully and said, "Qingfeng has made his decision; there's no need for you two to persuade me further."

His attitude and tone were very firm.

We must move out as soon as possible!

If the girl beside him is truly a demon, he will bear it alone; he must not implicate this family.

He paused for a moment.

He added, "I'll look for a house tomorrow, and after my wedding ceremony with Zhao'er the day after tomorrow, I'll leave. As for the money Grandma left behind, let's leave it with my cousin for now; we don't need it for the time being."

My aunt's sudden change of attitude is probably related to the money left by my grandmother.

However, Linshan Village looks so poor, where did Grandma get all that money?

Sure enough, after he said that, Yang Lan stopped talking.

Song Yuanshan wanted to persuade her further, but Yang Lan suddenly stepped on him under the table.

He frowned, then sighed and said, "Sigh, Qingfeng, since you feel you absolutely have to move out, your uncle won't force you anymore. So, tomorrow you should stay home and study. Your uncle will help you find a better place. You're a student, you rarely go out, how would you know how to find a place? Besides, you two have just gotten married, you definitely need a nice place."

He suddenly added, "Oh, right, bring Zi'er along too. She'll take care of you. You can come back for meals often, and if you need anything else, just have Zi'er come and tell us."

Zi'er stood to the side, head down.

Luo Qingfeng said, "We won't take Zi'er with us. Let her stay at the manor to take care of you and your aunt."

Zi'er raised her head, glanced at him, and then lowered her head again.

Song Yuanshan was about to try to persuade her further when Luo Qingfeng raised her glass and said, "Uncle, Aunt, let's make this decision. Qingfeng toasts you both to thank you for taking care of me these past few days."

"Why……"

Song Yuanshan sighed again and had no choice but to pick up his wine glass.

Yang Lan smiled broadly, raised her wine glass and said, "Qingfeng, Zhao'er, come back often in the future, your aunt will cook you delicious food."

Su Zhao'er nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, Aunt, Zhao'er will definitely come back often in the future."

Yang Lan's smile froze for a moment.

Luo Qingfeng sat down, turned to look at Song Wan'er on the other side, and saw that she had been looking down all night, sullen and silent. He poured her another cup of tea and said, "Wan'er, I'd like to toast you too."

Song Wan'er raised her head, forcing a smile, and picked up her teacup, saying softly, "Thank you, cousin. I wish you and Sister Zhao'er a long and happy life together."

Thank you.

Luo Qingfeng thanked him and drank it all in one gulp.

After dinner.

Luo Qingfeng and Su Zhao'er left together.

Zi'er followed behind with her head down, enduring the pain the whole way. But once they entered the courtyard, she finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Young Master, why...why don't you want Zi'er? Is there something I've done wrong?"

As soon as she spoke, tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.

Luo Qingfeng paused for a moment, then said, "No, it's just that I don't need maids."

After saying that, he went inside.

Zi'er stood in the courtyard, tears streaming down her face.

Su Zhao'er quickly followed him into the house and said, "Brother Feng, why don't you bring Zi'er along? If it gets cold in winter, Zi'er can warm the blankets for us. Then the three of us can sleep together, it'll be so warm."

Luo Qingfeng entered the room and said in a cold tone, "No need."

Then he looked at her and said, "Zhao'er, after we have our wedding ceremony the day after tomorrow, we will move out immediately and go to our own house to consummate our marriage."

Su Zhao'er looked puzzled: "Brother Feng, why don't we consummate our marriage here? The bridal chamber is all ready, it's so beautiful."

Luo Qingfeng said indifferently, "I don't like it here."

Su Zhao'er looked at him as if she understood but not quite, and could only say, "Oh, okay, I'll listen to Brother Feng. Wherever Brother Feng says we'll have our wedding night, we'll go there."

Go to bed early.

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her again, preparing to close the door.

Su Zhao'er suddenly asked again, "Brother Feng, you won't make up another excuse to not get married to Zhao'er the day after tomorrow, will you?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at her and said, "Of course not."

Su Zhao'er clenched her fist and huffed, "If Brother Feng lies to me again, I will really, really be angry!"

Luo Qingfeng glanced at her youthful and delicate face again and said, "Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."

Su Zhao'er then left satisfied.

Luo Qingfeng closed the door, returned to the room, and then walked to the window, looking out.

The little maid was still standing in the courtyard, silently wiping away her tears, looking like a pitiful kitten that had been abandoned.

Luo Qingfeng sighed inwardly and closed the window.

With a thought, the two lines of blue text appeared in his mind.

[Progress: 95]

[Creation Star Realm, Progress: Seventeen]

It'll be soon!

There's still one day left!
