96 Wedding (1/2)
News had come in the afternoon saying that Yao Yang had died.
That last battle against Yao Yang ended very well. Bi Qingshen Jun was unharmed and unscathed, and Haiyang had gone to retrieve his head. The head was placed on display on the Southern Gate for all to see, serving as punishment and a warning for all demons.
I also went along with everyone to take a glance. The man was very handsome with blood stained brown hair and tightly shut eyes, I was relieved his expression wasn't as hideous as one would have expected.
”There really isn't much to see, all dead people become corpses.” Bi Qingshen Jun grasped my hand and led me through the crowd back to Xuan Qing Palace.
Everyone stared at us as we were holding hands, eyes of surprise, envy, jealousy, and even more so, disdain and hatred. They quietly scoffed at how an ordinary demon is not worthy of a god, but under Bi Qingshen Jun's murderous gaze, they seem to have shut up.
In fact, I didn't really care about these things. Just like Bi Qingshen Jun said, as long as we're happy, everything is good, we don't need to worry about what people say. I never liked socializing with many people anyways.
Bi Qingshen Jun said my understanding was correct, he also did not like socializing with many people, and preferred to stay home and peacefully read some books, play the qin, and help raise children.
I was very dissatisfied with what he meant, ”Why are you raising the children? I can do that!”
Bi Qingshen Jun laughed, ”I'm afraid the children will be led astray by you.”
”Nonsense!” I boldly said, ”I will definitely teach the children about good stuff, not to mention, even if you weren't fighting and battling monsters, you would still have to occasionally go and punish some demons! Where would you find the time?!”
”I can hold one while I'm punishing demons, education should start as soon as possible.” Bi Qingshen Jun's expression was very serious.
”What if we have two? Which one are you going to take?”
”Then I can have one on my back.”
Wawa and Mo'lin who had said Bi Qingshen Jun was the definition of a good parent had all started chuckling behind us. And I, who had been deprived of my right to teach the children education became extremely depressed…..
The day of the wedding had finally arrived, Jin Wen and Wawa dragged me out from my covers early in the morning. I was led to and forced to sit down on the dressing table. Outside, there were waves after waves of servants. Similarily, they brought me jewelry and ornaments to decorate me one by one.
At this moment, all protest and outcry were ineffective, and even Yin Zi no longer stood by my side. I didn't know how he came in to sneak a glance, but he choose his most precious gem and then handed it to me. Immediately afterwards, he was kicked out by one of the ladies saying that men were not allowed inside the bride's room today.
Earlier, Bi Qingshen Jun had told me that I should be obedient today, saying that no matter what, I should listen to others. I grit my teeth and put up with the servants and maids touching all over my body and face.
”She has cat ears so don't style her hair too high. A bun in the back should be better.” Serving Girl 1 used a lot of hairpins to tie up my hair, causing my scalp to itch.
Serving Girl 2 held a gold embroidered red gown next to me, and said, ”Flawless, what should we do with the tail?”
”Stuff it inside the clothes! Today's the marriage so we shouldn't expose it!” Jin Wen ordered.
Wawa who had been counting the number of things on the inventory list, seeing my unhappy expression, she quickly came over to comfort me, ”Just endure for today, even if it's uncomfortable, it's only for today. You can't appear too shabby, after all, it is an auspicious day. Many deities and gods have come to attend this wedding, and to not lose face, we must dress appropriately.”
Having said this, what else is there I can do about the current situation. I can only obediently follow along with their arrangements. Jin Xian who had come over to help, brought with her a tray made of lotus seeds and flowers, she repeatedly praised, ”What a beautiful bride.”
