Chapter 379: Rolling Pin

"Woo—"

Outside the window, the night wind wailed, and the moonlight was cold and clear.

Inside the room, red candles cast warm light and fragrance, wedding pillows were paired, and the pair of newlyweds faced each other across a table.

Between the two, the atmosphere was strange and tense, like swords drawn and bows bent.

"Is that really necessary?"

Luo Zijun said as he moved closer to the bride.

The bride retreated silently around the table, constantly maintaining a distance of half a table from him.

The ridiculous thing was that the red bridal veil was still worn on her head.

Luo Zijun stopped, speechless: "We've already bowed to heaven and earth and married; is this necessary?"

The bride said coldly: "Just like when we were at the Bai Mansion, we shall each sleep in our own space."

Luo Zijun's expression darkened, and he snorted coldly: "This is not the Bai Mansion, and I am not your Matrilocal Son-in-law. If you know what's good for you, come over obediently and consummate the marriage with me, otherwise, hmph!"

"Otherwise what?"

Bai Meixue also snorted coldly, puffed out her chest, and regained the aura of Bai Daxiaojie.

She naturally was not afraid of him.

"Do you really want to be like this?"

"I do want to be like this, so what?"

"Fine!"

Luo Zijun suddenly lunged like a hungry wolf, pouncing directly across the table.

Bai Meixue's figure flashed, and she had already arrived at the other side of the table, still facing him across it; beneath the red veil, the corners of her mouth revealed a trace of triumph.

Luo Zijun missed his pounce and could only pick up the wine cup on the table and say: "Daxiaojie, let us drink the nuptial wine first."

"I won't drink it!"

Bai Meixue refused flatly.

She naturally knew what this cunning fellow wanted to do; he definitely wanted to seize her while the two of them were drinking the nuptial wine.

"It's one thing to trick other women, but you want to trick me? Hmph, no way!"

She snorted coldly.

"Swish!"

Luo Zijun threw a punch, shooting a gust of wind through the air; with a "whoosh," it blew the red veil off her head, revealing a peerlessly beautiful face.

"What are you doing?"

Bai Meixue was stunned for a moment, and two blushes quickly stained her face.

Luo Zijun said: "Since we cannot share a bed, then we shall face each other across the table; surely I cannot be forbidden from even looking at my own bride's face?"

"Hmph!"

Bai Meixue snorted, her cheeks reddening further, her eyes glaring at him.

This appearance and expression, paired with the red bridal attire and makeup, made her even more beautiful and alluring.

Luo Zijun decided to completely break down her psychological defenses.

"Daxiaojie, I remember when we were in the Diyuan, you were not like this. At first, you were also very cold, but slowly, you began to be passionate, even taking the initiative to kiss me, love me... You even told me to serve you every night, you..."

"Shut up!"

Bai Meixue was both shy and anxious, glaring at him with shame and annoyance, making a move to come over and hit him.

"I... I was helping you... helping you detoxify..."

She stammered, explaining with shame and annoyance.

Luo Zijun looked at her with deep eyes and said: "Fine, helping me detoxify. But Daxiaojie, detoxification cannot be abandoned halfway; the poison from back then was not only not cleared, but has instead seeped into my bone marrow, heart, soul, and flesh; I am already on the verge of dying from the poison... Tonight, I need you to continue helping me detoxify! This time, my flesh is poisoned, and it is very serious."

Bai Meixue glared at him, ignoring him.

"Will you help me or not?"

"I will not!"

"Sigh—"

Luo Zijun let out a long sigh and said: "Are you really not going to help?"

Bai Meixue said: "That's right, I am not helping!"

"Fine, then forget it."

Luo Zijun did not force the issue further: "This kind of thing cannot be forced; wait until you have thought it through later. It doesn't matter, I am not in a hurry; after all, we have already bowed to heaven and earth and married, whether you are Bai Daxiaojie or the Moon Palace fairy."

After speaking, he looked at her a few more times and turned to walk toward the door.

"Where are you going?"

Bai Meixue asked, watching his back.

"Creak..."

Luo Zijun opened the room door, turned his head and said: "Where else can I go? You won't let me sleep on the bed, so I can only go to Aw u's place."

Having said that, he exited the room, closed the door, and walked away quickly.

After the sound of footsteps disappeared into the small courtyard outside, Bai Meixue stayed in front of the table for a while longer, then walked to the door, looked at the empty courtyard, and after being dazed for a moment, said in a faint tone: "Detestable, on our wedding night, to actually go find another woman... couldn't he have coaxed me a little longer?"

Who would have thought that just as her words fell, a voice suddenly came from the right side of the doorway: "Is it still in time to coax you now?"

Bai Meixue's pretty face changed, and just as she was about to run away, Luo Zijun flashed out, grabbed her hair, and pulled her back with force.

"Ah..."

Bai Meixue cried out in pain, tilted her pretty face up in his arms, opened her eyes wide, and looked at him in disbelief: "You... you grabbed my hair?"

Luo Zijun closed the door, picked her up horizontally, and lowered his head to say: "So what if I grabbed your hair? Later, I'm going to grab other places of yours too."

As he spoke, he carried her onto the bed.

The curtains were drawn, and their shadows overlapped.

"Eldest Miss, how about we try Soul Out-of-Body first? Soul first, then the physical body? That way you won't be shy... After all, in your soul state, you are very proactive."

"..."
