Chapter 15: Ruan Ci Gets Married
Ruan Ci Gets Married
Xuan Po Sect... judging from the tone, it seems to be a level higher than the Chan Guang Sect, a continent-level major sect capable of cultivating genius seeds like Liu Yin. Ruan Ci only had a bitter smile in her heart. She didn't know how many times she would be snatched away like this, but it seemed better to fall into the hands of the Wan Xiong Sect than the Xuan Po Sect; at least the difficulty of escaping was lower. "Can Panpan find me? The cultivators of the Wan Xiong Sect actually haven't left the Approaching Dao realm and are like mortals, so they must have left a lot of auras. These two Dao children are hard to say. Judging from their methods, they are at least in the Foundation Establishment realm—I don't even know if they are human."
After resting for a few hours, her spirit had recovered. She closed her eyes and didn't probe the surrounding situation, continuing to visualize the Donghua Sword's divine intent image. In her sea of consciousness, a simple and unadorned picture had gradually taken shape. The hilt was exquisitely carved, but the scabbard still couldn't exist for too long. After depicting it for a while, it was destroyed by the sword intent in her body. Every destruction was an excruciating pain that felt like her sea of consciousness was being stirred, but the sword intent itself would also be worn away a little, not disappearing completely, but being absorbed by the scabbard. When Ruan Ci visualized the scabbard again, she could feel it was a bit tougher and could accommodate more sword intent.
Such cultivation was boring and painful, with no fun to speak of. The sharp sword intent seemed endless, and she didn't know how many times she had to visualize like this before it reached the end. But Ruan Ci grew up in Song Guo since she was a child, and the folk customs were harsh, and life was not easy to begin with, so she didn't feel it was difficult to support. It was just that her spiritual intent had its limits. When she was tired, she would rest for a while, and as soon as she recovered a little, she would start visualizing again.
Strange to say, Ruan Ci's previous spiritual intent could only support the scabbard being destroyed twice before she couldn't continue, but perhaps because she practiced more, her spiritual intent gradually increased. Repeating this cycle, her recovery speed became faster and faster. She didn't know how many times her spiritual intent seemed to be exhausted, only to be condensed by her again. In the end, her spiritual intent seemed to be inexhaustible. As long as she could resist the excruciating pain in her sea of consciousness, she could continue forever.
By this time, Ruan Ci didn't know how many thousands of times she had been pierced by sword intent. Every time was as painful as the first. This pain would never be something one could get used to, but fortunately, it didn't increase anymore, and every time she could persist longer. At first, it was destroyed in an instant, but now she could persist for two or three breaths, or even longer. Ruan Ci was a person who sought perfection. Seeing progress, she simply didn't think too much, dazed, not knowing the passage of time, and focused only on the visualization image in her heart.
"Bad, Young Master, the Sword Envoy's essence is flowing away, gradually withering, and it seems her life is not long."
"Young Master, the spiritual jade we brought has been absorbed, and now we have used the last batch of precious materials you gave to boil the medicinal soup, and steamed the Sword Envoy in it, otherwise I'm afraid the Sword Envoy would have no breath long ago."
"The Sword Envoy originally had no breath, she just didn't die."
"Talkative! In short, the Sword Envoy is about to die, you must come quickly."
"Woo woo, you must come quickly, without precious materials, Linu and Xiunu will starve to death."
Her consciousness hadn't woken up, she was just immersed in her work in her sea of consciousness, naturally unaware of the excitement outside. The two red-clothed children were turning around in the cave in a hurry, soaking her in a large pot, and throwing some precious materials into it from time to time. The two took turns watching the fire. Ruan Ci was soaked in the pitch-black medicinal liquid, and could see the medicinal power like small insects, constantly condensing into black lines, drilling into her skin, and then being swallowed in one gulp, dissolving and disappearing. The medicinal soup gradually became clear. The children sighed, and with heartache and reluctance, dug out some strange precious materials from their treasure bags and poured them into the pot to maintain the color of the medicinal liquid.
"These precious materials are enough for us to eat for thirty years, but the Sword Envoy has almost digested them in less than three months! How can the Sword Envoy's appetite be so big!"
"What is the Sword Envoy cultivating?"
"Can Young Master make it in time? Coming from the Central Continent, even a Cave Heaven ancestor would have to walk for several years."
"Is Young Master coming from the Central Continent?"
"The Sword Envoy looks quite good, I want to..."
"Not allowed to eat the Sword Envoy! Not even a bit of meat!"
"Is it not allowed to gnaw on some fingernails..."
"Bad Xiunu, I want to complain to Young Master!"
These two children always quarreled in the end, but their work didn't delay. The medicinal liquid in the pot was always pitch-black. Ruan Ci soaked in it for several months, and her skin became more and more crystal clear like jade. She was naturally cute and beautiful, and Xiunu was drooling, sighing, "The Sword Envoy looks really delicious!"
"Who wants to eat the Young Madam of our Xuan Po Sect?"
A loud laugh suddenly came from the cave, and Xiunu and Linu cheered, calling, "Young Master is here!"
"Young Master, did you bring precious medicine?"
While speaking, a clear breeze blew, and a white-clothed youth who looked like a woman appeared in the cave. He took off the treasure bag from his waist and threw it to the two children. Xiunu poured it out and cheered, "So much spiritual jade, thank you Young Master!"
Linu was more sensible, followed the Young Master with small steps, and said in a small voice, "Young Master, this incarnation of yours is only in the Foundation Establishment stage, is the true body not coming? Linu and I also spent time going down the mountain to prepare some wedding banners and fireworks these few months, but if you are only in the Foundation Establishment stage..."
His face wrinkled together, "I'm afraid this wedding is a bit indecent."
"I am in Foundation Establishment, the Sword Envoy is in Qi Refining, isn't this a perfect match?"
The Young Master's temper seemed very good, and he was quite generous to the two red-clothed children's nonsensical actions. He walked to the large pot, looked down at Ruan Ci's figure, and muttered, "Xie Yan is too interesting, she really found a Sword Envoy without spiritual roots. She played this step very well."
"Young Master, but the Sword Envoy has been in a coma, and the vitality in her body is flowing away very quickly. Is it because she can't bear the Donghua Sword, and the Heavenly Maiden Xie also misjudged the person?"
"It doesn't matter. She is at the critical moment of refining the Donghua Sword. You use medicine to refine her and supply her with vitality, so she refines it a bit faster. If you don't use medicine, her consciousness will be exhausted until her body can't bear it, and she will stop."
The two children only then knew that they were ignorant and wasted a lot of precious materials, and couldn't help but scream, calling it a pity. The Young Master laughed, "Forget it, some external medicine, spent is spent, what's a pity? She ate our family's medicine, so she has to be our family's daughter-in-law."
He waved his hand, and Ruan Ci slowly rose from the pot. She was wearing white clothes, not stained with medicinal juice, but her hair was a bit wet. The Young Master held her horizontally, gently stroked her delicate face, examined her carefully, bent his eyes, and laughed softly, "She looks quite good, worthy of being my wife."
He said he wanted to marry Ruan Ci, so Xiunu turned anger into joy and no longer felt heartache. Hearing this, he laughed, "You have more than a hundred wives, and many are not as good-looking as the Sword Envoy."
Young Master Yue said, "How can this be the same? If she can continue to cultivate, she will naturally be the first wife by my side in the future. The Donghua Sword Envoy is the Holy Sect Mother in Yanshan, and our Xuan Po Sect cannot be negligent—Linu, Xiunu, you decorate the bridal chamber, go down the mountain and catch a few guests, we will worship the hall immediately."
Linu was suddenly in a mess, "Young Master! It's too hasty! Why not wait a few more years? Wait for your true body to arrive, and the experts in the sect to arrive, and then hold a grand wedding, the Old Master will have more glory on his face."
"Can't wait, prosperous sects from all over the world are coming, Central Continent, North Ming Continent, North You Continent, South Yan Continent... continents of the world, people are coming, Dao, Buddha, Confucianism, Demon, experts are gathered, I have to be a little careful."
"But they are all small sects!" Xiunu's cultivation was not high, but his tone was not small, "When have they ever been in the eyes of our Xuan Po Sect?"
"Most sects are indeed not worth mentioning, even the Shangqing Sect and the Taiwei Sect may not be able to snatch the Sword Envoy from our hands." Young Master Yue shook his head.
Linu and Xiunu laughed in unison, "They are probably unable to even find our tracks."
"But this time, Yanshan also sent people. The Yanshan Demon Lord has profound magic power and cannot be prevented. You two have low cultivation. If you wait for the true body to arrive in South Zhuzhou, I'm afraid people from Yanshan will also come over. The Demon Lord already has Xie Yan as his Dao companion. This time, no matter what, he cannot be allowed to see this Sword Envoy again."
The two children suddenly realized, Linu screamed, "That's right, that's right, if the Demon Lord gets the Sword Envoy, he will definitely raise her to be useless, just waiting for Xie Yan to come back and take the sword."
"Then wouldn't our Xuan Po Sect never be able to catch up with Yanshan?"
"Young Master, get married quickly, get married quickly. Consummate the marriage quickly, consummate the marriage quickly! The Sword Envoy must be the Young Madam of our Xuan Po Sect!"
The two children danced, and strips of red silk flew from their sleeves, decorating the cave with a festive atmosphere, and hung up festive lanterns. In just a moment, festive candles and festive flowers were set up. Young Master Yue changed into festive clothes, and Linu was skillful, putting on red makeup for Ruan Ci and wearing a wedding dress, and couldn't help but sigh again, "Young Master, how difficult is it to refine the Donghua Sword? Look, not long after she was fished out of the pot, the Sword Envoy's cheeks have lost a bit of vitality. Although her foundation is deep, she can't stand such consumption."
"She is at the critical moment of performing the work, relying on the spiritual energy pouring in from outside, so she doesn't think about safety and goes all out." Young Master Yue looked carefully and also laughed, "Good, also bold and reckless, only then can she be my wife."
He spat out a piece of jade from his mouth and stuffed it into Ruan Ci's hand. "This incarnation doesn't have anything good, I've wronged you, wife. Linu, in the future, you must remind the true body to make up for some decent betrothal gifts."
Linu said jealously, "This is the Linghua Jade given to you by the Old Master—it's enough for us to eat for thousands of years, Young Master, this incarnation of yours only has this one spiritual artifact to rely on..."
He said that he could eat for thousands of years, and couldn't help but drool. While speaking, Xiunu flew into the cave from outside, followed by a few mortals. They all had fear on their faces, but they seemed to have been taught by Xiunu, so they still changed into festive clothes, squeezed out a smile, and said tremblingly, "Congratulations to Young Master Yue on the great joy."
Young Master Yue smiled and waved his hand, as if there were invisible thin lines hanging Ruan Ci up, setting her in a kneeling posture. He lifted his robe and knelt beside Ruan Ci. Linu stepped forward and held a spirit tablet, placing it solemnly on the wedding table, and screamed, "Jade as betrothal, green sword as dowry, Young Master, please take the new wife to pay respects to the Old Master."
Young Master Yue bowed three times, and Ruan Ci moved with his movements like a puppet on strings, but she was half a beat slower, and the scene looked a bit evil. The guests looked terrified, and their teeth kept making light clattering sounds. Young Master Yue didn't notice it at all, and said softly, "Unfilial son Qu Tan Yue, married out of deep love, married without a matchmaker, pleading guilty to Father."
He turned to Ruan Ci and said, "New wife, pay respects to Father-in-law."
Ruan Ci closed her eyes, said nothing, and bowed under the manipulation of Young Master Yue. The tablet emitted a burst of light, and the guests all exclaimed. Xiunu said happily, "Young Madam is polite, the Old Master seems to like Young Madam very much."
He puffed out his chest and sang proudly, "First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to high hall, husband and wife bow to each other—"
In the singing of the child who acted as the master of ceremonies, the two performed the ceremony as usual. Xiunu sang, "Send to the bridal chamber—"
He and Linu were very busy. After singing the ceremony, they began to act as attendants, holding festive silk. One end was held in Qu Tan Yue's hand, and Linu held the other end, took Ruan Ci's hand, and wanted to stuff it into her hand, laughing, "Young Master, Young Master, when are you going to lift the bridal veil?"
He lifted his long red sleeves, and his white, chubby little hand touched Ruan Ci's fingertips. Before the word 'veil' was finished, his eyes suddenly widened, and his red little mouth opened to speak, but he couldn't say a word. Only bright sword light shone slowly from his mouth. Linu collapsed, turned into a red mist and rushed out. Looking closely, this red mist was composed of hundreds of millions of small insects, but it flew out less than a foot, and the insect corpses fell one after another, making a rustling sound. The red mist gradually thinned and finally disappeared. Looking closely at the insect corpses on the ground, they were all pierced by something, not one was missed.
Xiunu screamed and turned into a red mist, pouring into Young Master Yue's sleeve. The guests fled outside, howling like ghosts and wolves. Young Master Yue stood in front of the wedding table, but he was not panicked at all. He lowered his head and tidied his sleeves, smiling slightly, "Ah, wife, you are awake."
The bride stood there, slowly reaching out to lift the bridal veil. Every movement seemed extremely sluggish, and even her voice was slower than ordinary people, "Hus... band..."
Her movements were too slow, revealing a small diamond-shaped mouth, "You... hold... me..."

Sorry for the wait, I'll send red envelopes for this chapter, and I'll send the previous chapter in a moment.
Anyway, the procedures are finished. Ruan Ci is probably the female lead I've written who got married the earliest, and except for "The Story of the Golden House", she is also the youngest to get married.
Hahahaha, eating dumplings for lunch today! Three-fresh filling, with my favorite bottle gourd and radish, very juicy, mix a bowl of sour and spicy sauce, delicious, delicious!
