Chapter 31 - Do you hold strong grudges? (2/2)

”What if I disappear again before our wedding?” I ċȯċk my head and smirk.

”You will return,” He tells me confidently. ”Or I will find you.”

This guy is more confident than me. Marrying someone like this is the last thing on my priority list. I don't know how to accept the fact that Li Jun will kill me in his next life. Wait, is this karma? I will wrong him now and he will butcher me in his next life?

”Li Jun, do you hold strong grudges?” I ask him carefully.

He nods at me.

I scratch my head to come up with solutions. ”Li Jun, there are certain laws in hell. You see, demons cannot marry humans. The ruler of hell prohibits it strictly. So, I will get in trouble if I marry you.”

”If you don't marry me, you will get in trouble now.” He chuckles deeply. ”I will negotiate with the ruler of hell after I die. You marry me today.”

”...”

This is not working out. He is too smart.

Li Jun doesn't leave until the women arrive. They come at Kyuri like hounds who saw meat. Despite her strong protests, they prepare her for the wedding. The ceremony is simple. Only a few close people are attending. Li Jun doesn't want people to notice her. She easily stands out with her expression and accent. General Yu keeps sighing when she sees her niece getting married. She can't do anything to stop it. This Li Jun didn't delay a single day.

The not-so-blushing bride is taken to the chamber. Li Jun stays and drinks with the guests. He doesn't say or answer much. The men try to tease him, but his stoic expressions kill their joy.

”Don't show that expression to your pretty bride.” The fifth prince slaps his back. ”You know how to do it right?”

General Yu purses her lips and stares at him uneasily. She doesn't want to leave them alone. She can't stop either. Will her niece be alright?

”General Yu must be feeling lonely again.” The fifth prince clasps on to her risk. ”I will keep her company. Don't make your bride wait for a long time.”

Before the poor general could protest, the fifth prince drags her away. The guests also leave since the royal people are gone. Li Jun walks back to the chamber. She is drinking wine directly from the bottle. She looks at him with slight anger in her eyes. ”You aren't allowed to molest me, understand?”
