Chapter 447: The wedding night, a moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold!

As soon as their lips touched, Duan Rongshi loosened his hold on the beauty in his arms.

He made no further moves to overstep the line.

He feared he couldn't hold back.

After all, they were now lawfully wedded, and this was their wedding night.

A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold, and his time is all the more limited.

He still held to that line—not only because he feared scaring his Luo'er, but also because he feared that once he tasted the pleasure he would be unable to let go.

Although he very much wanted to take her back to Jinling together.

But he would have to ride hard and fast, fearing she couldn't bear it; besides, Li Qingluo could only stay in MiaoJiang.

Not only did she need to recover, but she also had a promise to the Pei family and Jinning.

He lowered his head, gazing at her with eyes full of her, and sighed helplessly.

Li Qingluo gazed at him in a daze, curiously asking, 'What were you just doing?'

Her pure gaze almost made him unable to bear it.

He could only gently cover her eyes, sighing helplessly again: 'Doing something only your husband can do to you.'

'Luo'er, remember: kissing and hugging are our couple's secret.'

'Must not be mentioned to others.'

'And must not be done with others.'

'This is something only a married couple can know.'

What only a married couple can do?

Li Qingluo lifted her head, imitating Duan Rongshi's recent action, and lightly pecked his lips.

'Like this?'

She found it great fun.

This feels very intimate, and she also felt she liked it.

Time and again, just as Li Qingluo wanted to do it again, Duan Rongshi pressed her firmly onto his thigh and would not let her move.

'Luo'er, no more mischief.'

Suddenly, an image flashed in Li Qingluo's mind.

It was the memory of Duan Rongshi holding her and nibbling at her by the cliffside.

Her heart gave a sudden jolt.

Next, it seemed she arrived at a pool filled entirely with water, where he did that again.

But this time, his movements became much gentler.

Li Qingluo was lost in the sudden flood of memories, while Duan Rongshi thought he had frightened her, and instantly felt a bit nervous: 'What's wrong?'

Li Qingluo, blushing, looked at his red lips before her, then suddenly sat up and shoved him onto the bed.

'Duan Rongshi, you lied to me.'

'Before we were married, you clearly had already kissed me, and many times, right?'

'And it was just like this!'

She promptly reproduced the sensation that had just flashed in her mind onto his body.

Although her movements were somewhat clumsy.

But soon she became completely skilled again, and then cleverly teased him back and forth.

She kissed and laughed.

Whenever Duan Rongshi tried to meet her and deepen the kiss, she would playfully dodge away.

The foolish yet pure Luo'er merely thought it was fun.

But it made the ever‑self‑restrained Duan Rongshi's handsome face flush red, and he could not gradually deepen his breathing.

He rolled over, pressing her beneath him again, and seized both her hands, pinning them firmly above her head.

'Luo'er, this is you provoking me.'

He narrowed his eyes, full of peril, and while she still hadn't realized what was about to happen, still giggling 'keke', he swiftly lowered his head and finally pressed a deep, heavy kiss upon her.

He finally became an aggressor.

His domineering, forceful advance pressed her, making her breath grow increasingly short.

It also released, bit by bit, all the repression and longing she had felt during the months apart, between their lips and teeth.

Li Qingluo felt only that the root of her tongue ached.

Her lips, moreover, were numbed by his repeated pressure, losing all sensation.

Just as she dazedly felt her own body heating up, he suddenly stopped everything.

He only held her tightly in his arms.

'Luo'er, no.'

'If I were to take you like this, in your bewildered state, what difference would there be between me and a beast?'

She understood nothing.

It was not at all what he truly awaited.

Even that recent impulse had filled Duan Rongshi's heart with shame.

He lowered his head, burying his face in her neck, and sighed heavily with bitterness.

Although it was the wedding night, they had not yet consummated the marriage.

'Luo'er, wait a little longer.'

'When we return to Jinling for our true grand wedding, I will surely give you a true wedding night.'

After speaking, he planted a deep kiss between her brows.

Li Qingluo stared, dazed and uncomprehending, and then Duan Rongshi pulled her up.

After they ate together, Duan Rongshi again spent a while playing with Li Qingluo.

An hour passed quickly.

He was returning to Jinling.

It originally didn't have to be so sudden.

But he had already been away from Jinling for three months, and the situation in Jinling had already undergone a complete transformation.

The Empress Dowager's sudden demise.

The power and influence he once held were now teetering on the brink of collapse.

His years-long layout remained unfinished.

Since Li Qingluo's situation had stabilized here, he would eventually take the lead.

Luo'er, wait for me.

Be obedient, be good.

Duan Rongshi mounted his horse, still wearing his black-and-red wedding attire that he had not yet taken off; in the pitch‑black night he turned back, gazed lingeringly at his newly wed princess consort, then resolutely turned his head and galloped away.

Go—

Li Qingluo stood on the steps accompanied by Que'er.

Watching him leave, a strong sense of parting sorrow suddenly welled up in her heart.

She involuntarily stepped forward to follow him.

Duan Rongshi……

Que'er hurriedly grabbed her.

Miss.

Your Highness has already gone far.

Shall we go back? It's almost the third watch.

Li Qingluo stubbornly refused to leave, sat down on the steps, held her face, and sighed: "Getting married is really boring."

Que'er comforted her: "Miss, Your Highness will surely return soon."

By then you will have fully recovered as well.

Then the two of you as a couple can truly reunite.

Li Qingluo: "A couple?"

She and Duan Rongshi, are they really a couple?

But how exactly must she be to count as fully recovered?

Isn't she already well?

The desolation in her heart kept spreading like an empty hole.

Gazing at the dark night, she couldn't help but think: "A Shi, when will you ever come back?"

One year later.

At the foot of the Witch Moon Sect.

Li Qingluo waited with Que'er again and again, but never saw Jin Ning's trace.

A Lan came running, out of breath, and shoved a letter into her hands: "Little Master Uncle!"

This is from the master for you.

She said she wouldn't personally see you off. May you have a safe journey.

A sense of desolation welled up in Li Qingluo's heart.

Is she really not coming?

I don't know when I'll be back after leaving this time.

Her senior sister really is heartless.

Li Qingluo slipped the letter into her bosom, not intending to read it now.

A Lan smiled: "The master is a person cold on the outside but soft inside. You've been with her for over a year—you surely know that."

Since the elder master passed away two months ago, the master has known you would leave.

So during this period she hasn't shown any joy—the master simply can't bear to let you go.

After Li Qingluo lost her soul and fell into a coma, it was Jin Ning who brought her party back to MiaoJiang, a place that rarely accepts outsiders.

In the Witch Moon Sect there is an elder named Gu who is highly skilled in divination and witchcraft.

Elder Gu and the accompanying Immortal Yunhe joined forces to send Duan Rongshi to seek Li Qingluo's past‑life soul traces.

Together they also fully summoned back Li Qingluo's soul.

Within a month after marrying Duan Rongshi, Li Qingluo finally managed to recover all her memories in fits and starts.

Her consciousness naturally returned completely to its original state.

This time, she finally underwent a complete and genuine rebirth.

It's just a pity that Duan Rongshi parted hastily; they never got a chance to properly reunite before being separated again.

Li Qingluo stayed behind to continue nurturing her body.

She also agreed to Jin Ning's condition to remain in MiaoJiang for a period of time.

Li Qingluo also didn't know what Jin Ning wanted her to stay for, until Jin Ning took her to see that elder of the Witch Moon Sect.

Is it you who has shifted across time and space?

Your soul has actually been able to come and go freely. And yet you are still alive.

Indeed, there truly exists such a miraculous thing in this world.

Moreover, according to my repeated divinations, because of your transformation, the originally wavering constellations have finally settled completely.

The Purple Micro Star that can rule the whole world and change the fate of my MiaoJiang clan has indeed long truly descended to earth.

And all of this is closely related to you.

Li Qingluo's heart trembled as she listened, and she looked toward Jin Ning.

Jin Ning: "Uncle Master, for our MiaoJiang, is this Purple Micro Star good or bad? What should we do?"

Gu Changlao then frowned tightly and only said: "Fortune and misfortune depend on each other."

"We can't do anything; we can only leave it to fate."

The next day, that Elder Gu suddenly said he wanted to take Li Qingluo as an indoor disciple.

Jin Ning naturally reacted with intense emotion, opposing it.

"Impossible! Uncle Master, Li Qingluo is the Princess of Yaoguang of DaLiang, and moreover the consort of Prince Su. It's impossible for her to be your disciple and stay in MiaoJiang."

"Moreover, our MiaoJiang clan never accepts outsider women as disciples; why would you do this?"

Gu Changlao then merely lifted his eyelids and continued to say calmly: "My lifespan is nearing its end; I have at most a year left to live."

"Then let her inherit my mantle."

"All these years I've been waiting and waiting—wasn't I waiting for her?"

"From now on, she can also be considered half of our MiaoJiang people."

"If disaster ever befalls our MiaoJiang in the future, she will certainly not stand by idly."

"Right, Princess Su?"

Li Qingluo never wanted to learn any witchcraft.

But she knew that if she didn't agree, she would likely not be able to leave this MiaoJiang easily.

So she could only steel herself and reply: "I will do what I can, act within my abilities."

Jin Ning sighed helplessly.

Her Uncle Master, after being betrayed simultaneously by three disciples back then, has remained in seclusion in this mountain cavern, never wishing to step out again.

How many years have passed since then?

At least twenty years have passed, I suppose.

Now he has actually moved to take on a disciple again.

Although Jin Ning deep down understands, the Uncle Master's action is more likely because of that Purple Micro Star, wanting to leave a way out for MiaoJiang.

But suddenly breaking these MiaoJiang rules...

However, Elder Gu's mind is set; thus Jin Ning can only comply, and as Sect Leader she must suppress the anger and objections of everyone.

And Li Qingluo naturally need not concern herself with these matters.

Thus she remained completely within the Witch Moon Sect.

And became Jin Ning's fellow junior sister in the sect.
