Chapter 134: Marriage Registration

~6 min read 1,166 words

Then change again so I can see.

Yi Yang was somewhat delighted, for on Zhu Shen Xing, if a female actively wants to see a male's beast form, it means that female greatly likes and trusts that male.

Yi Yang no longer hesitated; with a twist of his waist, his bones began to shrink and reshape, completing the transformation almost in the blink of an eye.

A flaxen-colored Labrador sat obediently at Ye Xi'an's feet; its huge stature, even seated, reached her chest. They locked eyes, the dog's eyes bright and pure, showing no trace of human emotion.

It affectionately stuck out its tongue toward Ye Xi'an and raised its right paw, continuously waving hello.

This adorable sight almost made Ye Xi'an cry from cuteness; she grabbed the Labrador's meaty paw—plump yet not greasy, firm yet soft, feeling wonderful.

"Yi Yang, you're this cute?" Ye Xi'an buried her face in the fur beside the Labrador's neck, inhaling deeply—there was no doggy smell from Earth dogs, only a fresh earthy scent.

The Labrador suddenly spoke: "If you like me like this, wife, I'll stay a dog forever!"

Eh.....

"You'd better not speak." Ye Xi'an wrapped her arms around the Labrador's muzzle, preventing it from speaking, as it was really too strange.

"Alright, let's go back." Ye Xi'an patted the Labrador's head: "You should change back too; normally at home you can turn into a Labrador."

Yi Yang stuck out his tongue, licking Ye Xi'an's palm twice, then reverted to his standing form.

Just as Ye Xi'an patted her buttocks, preparing to leave the hotel, the silently standing Lin Zhi Jing suddenly grabbed her.

Ye Xi'an turned her head to look at him, and fell into his dark, deep eyes.

Lin Zhi Jing pressed his lips; his austere face showed a hint of grievance that Ye Xi'an noticed: "Before we go back, didn't you forget something?"

Ye Xi'an jumped, thinking something was wrong with him: "No, how could I forget? We haven't even seen the renovated house yet; we can register after we look."

Lin Zhi Jing said nothing, feeling that Ye Xi'an had spoiled him to the point of daring to challenge the palace; anyway, if Ye Xi'an wouldn't go register with him today, he wouldn't leave.

Bao Jing and Yi Yang exchanged a glance; although Bao Jing wanted to seize this chance to jab Lin Zhi Jing again, he chose silence.

Out of consideration for Lin Zhi Jing having saved him before, this time he gave Lin Zhi Jing a chance.

Ye Xi'an and Lin Zhi Jing stalemated for a while, but Lin Zhi Jing's attitude clearly meant they had to register.

"Fine, fine, let's go." Ye Xi'an felt she had no principles; though she wanted to go home and see the house first, perhaps she should secure her female status on Zhu Shen Xing.

Lin Zhi Jing blinked: "What?"

Ye Xi'an helplessly reversed her grip on Lin Zhi Jing's hand: "Go register!"

Lin Zhi Jing's usually expressionless face split into a wide grin; this might be the first time in his life he'd shown such a bright smile, making it look somewhat unnatural.

"Tch." Bao Jing crossed his arms on the side and complained to Yi Yang: "He actually managed to succeed after all."

Yi Yang was quite pleased: "Now we have such a capable male at home; missions will definitely be safer and more efficient."

Yi Yang, when did you learn to speak in sarcastic double meanings?

Yi Yang looked innocent: "Huh? I'm not being sarcastic."

Bao Jing frowned, gave Yi Yang a strange glance; seeing his sincere face, indeed there was no sarcasm, and he truly felt that Lin Zhi Jing joining the family was a good thing.

What a naive sweetie.

Having said that, he didn't want to talk to Yi Yang anymore; later he'd surely think his current self was a goofball.

Ye Xi'an was led by Lin Zhi Jing to the Marriage Registration Center in the First Ring.

The Marriage Registration Center stood east of the Mission Center, the second most magnificent building on Zhu Shen Xing, like a finely cut diamond rising from the ground, refracting a faint pink light under sunlight.

Actually, the building's material isn't diamond but a translucent pale-pink nanomaterial; data and light-shadow rivers flow along its outer walls, and whenever a new couple registers marriage, the façade's holographic projection blooms with corresponding blessing patterns.

At that moment, the wall continuously scrolled the names of newcomers, though it was just the same few people going back and forth.

Let's go.

Ye Xi'an pulled Lin Zhi Jing to go in, but Lin Zhi Jing got a bit timid.

The fingers hidden in his pocket nervously rubbed together, sweat almost soaking the pocket fabric.

What's wrong?

Bao Jing saw Lin Zhi Jing's nervousness; one could say any normal male would notice, for if it were them, they'd surely get stage fright.

This could decide one's entire life.

Our Doctor Lin wouldn't be nervous, would he?

Bao Jing's somewhat snarky tone eased Lin Zhi Jing's tension a little; Lin Zhi Jing gave Bao Jing a disdainful look saying "You're talking nonsense," then followed behind Ye Xi'an toward the door, explaining as they walked: "I was just thinking about what form to use for the registration later."

"Oh, I see." Ye Xi'an wasn't really concerned about his state; she just wanted to finish the registration quickly and go see her house.

The two entered a private room, while the others stood guard at the door.

Ye Xi'an looked at the pink lights, pink walls, and all the pink decorations; her mouth twitched involuntarily—this aesthetic was truly monotonous, how could everything be pink like this, even the sole potted plant in the room was pink.

Why is no one handling the registration?

"Marriage registration is self-completed." Lin Zhi Jing pulled Ye Xi'an to the machine; having rehearsed the wedding registration process countless times today, he felt as if he were at home, operating the machine swiftly.

"Look at the lens." Lin Zhi Jing quickly tidied his hair, then turned to help Ye Xi'an sweep her side hair behind her ears, took a deep breath, slapped his face a few times to relax his facial muscles, ensured his appearance was fine, put his arm around Ye Xi'an's shoulders, and both looked at the camera on the machine together.

Click.

Lin Zhi Jing immediately checked the taken photo.

In the photo, Ye Xi'an still looked as beautiful as an elf, but he looked awful—like a bespectacled four-eyes, his face lacking luster, his mouth pale as if he were about to die.

No, no, he couldn't let such a photo appear on his marriage certificate.

Lin Zhi Jing, are you alright?" Ye Xi'an looked at the tense, nearly breathless Lin Zhi Jing, somewhat worried about his mental state.

Lin Zhi Jing snapped out of it, his speech unusually fast, unlike his usual calm and composed tone: "I'm fine, I just wanted to tidy up."
