The waves surged in one after another, bringing with them seashells, conches, and some small crabs that were still wriggling.
Tang Yu screamed excitedly as she bent down to pick up the beautiful seashells one by one, while Hua Manlou watched her with a smile, occasionally helping to catch the little crabs that tried to escape.
As evening fell, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red, and the sea was also gilded with a layer of golden light.
The two walked hand in hand on the beach, the sea breeze gently blowing, bringing with it the unique salty smell of the ocean.
The waves crashed against the shore, making a splashing sound, and the two of them would laugh and kiss each other in the hazy light of the sunset.
Occasionally, Tang Yu and Hua Manlou, relying on their superior martial arts skills, would even dive directly into the sea.
The underwater world is vibrant and colorful, with all sorts of beautifully colored fish swimming around them. Blue, yellow, red, and some with strange patterns on their bodies—it's a feast for the eyes.
Back on shore, Tang Yu and Hua Manlou would light a bonfire and roast the fish they had caught over it.
The days were novel and interesting; neither of them had ever experienced such a simple and fun life before. They spent the entire winter by the sea.
So on New Year's Day, the two of them spent a New Year's Eve alone in their rented apartment.
The surrounding small mountain villages also became lively, after all, the end of the year is always a time of joy and celebration.
Does your family have the custom of giving out lucky money at the end of the year?
The two lay in bed keeping watch over the New Year. The winter weather was cold, and one always wanted to snuggle together.
"If Yu'er spends the New Year at the Hua family's house this year, she should receive a lot of lucky money."
However, my husband and I will also give our nephews and nieces a lot of lucky money.
That would definitely be very lively.
"Then next year we'll celebrate the New Year with everyone, and that will be perfectly legitimate."
These words stirred Hua Manlou's heart, and he slowly raised his hand to stroke his cheek.
"How about we set off back home after the Lunar New Year?"
After all, their wedding is scheduled for May this year, so of course they have to go back.
"Aren't you eagerly awaiting your wedding date?"
As soon as the teasing remark was made, Hua Manlou lowered his head and gently kissed her.
The room, dimly lit by candlelight, was quiet and peaceful. The two laughed and kissed each other, their lips intertwined, their passion intense.
Hua Manlou looked at the person beneath him and suddenly couldn't help but ask this question.
"If Yu'er stays with me in the future, will we be able to have children?"
This rather profound question made Tang Yu burst out laughing. She moved closer to the other person's chest and then bit him.
"You like children?"
Hua Manlou nodded.
"What if I can't have children?"
"That's fine. I'm just a little curious. Although there doesn't seem to be this kind of trouble in the stories, it still feels very magical."
This really is a person with a scientific spirit of inquiry, Tang Yu laughed even louder.
Chapter 21 Flower-Filled Pavilion 21
"I cultivate the human body. From a material point of view, I am now a human being, but my soul is somewhat different."
"But Seventh Child, before, there was a spiritual energy emanating from your eyes, but it's gone now that you've been healed. I always felt like you were a celestial being."
Hua Manlou had never taken such joking speculations to heart before, but now he was giving them serious thought.
"I have no memory of my past life since I was born. From being ignorant and clueless to learning to speak, and now gradually growing up, these twenty-odd years of life experience belong entirely to me in the present."
Even if I was a deity in my past life, that was someone else's past and has nothing to do with me now.
However, I am truly grateful for his existence, because it was through him that I was able to meet and get to know Yu'er, thus forging this rare bond.
If I regained my memories of my past life after death, it would likely be that same person who returned, and Hua Manlou would have vanished.
These words made Tang Yu feel inexplicably melancholy.
"Life is full of partings and reunions. We should cherish each other while we are alive and not be attached to the fate of the next life."
In this world, separation is either by life or death, but we are both still here now. As long as we cherish each other during this time, that's enough.
At these times, Tang Yu was always impressed by Hua Manlou's carefree attitude.
In fact, she had already gotten used to this kind of life. If she continued to dwell on her past, she would probably only fall into pain.
"That's true. Why worry about things that haven't happened yet?"
The life we've already lived is best treasured in our memories.
After the first month of the lunar calendar, the two set off for Jiangnan to return home.
However, the two of them traveled at a leisurely pace, stopping frequently to admire the surrounding scenery, sometimes lingering for a few days amidst the beautiful landscapes before continuing their journey.
By the time we returned to Jiangnan, it was already March.
Spring has arrived, and flowers are in full bloom. The small courtyard of Huamanlou is once again enveloped in a sea of flowers.
Then, at that moment, Lu Xiaofeng also arrived.
"You two are really living a carefree life. I've been in big trouble for the past few months and almost lost my life."
The person in front of me was very carefree and relaxed, showing no signs of having just gone through a life-or-death experience.
"Is it related to the Qingyi Pavilion?"
Tang Yu asked with a smile, because she always felt that this trouble was the same trouble that had almost come to her and Hua Manlou before.
However, the two simply shook off the trouble and went to play at the beach.
"That's right, it's Qingyi Tower. Didn't those people want to cause trouble for you and Hua Manlou before? Luckily you ran south to have fun, otherwise you would have been involved in this big trouble too."
Hua Manlou brought over a few bottles of wine, poured Lu Xiaofeng a glass, and then asked him with interest.
"Now that the problem has been solved, why not tell this story? It might be quite interesting."
"I'm using my life-and-death experiences to amuse you two, so we need to bring out a few more bottles of wine."
Tang Yu smiled instantly.
"Okay, add a few more bottles of peach blossom wine, I guarantee you'll have a great time!"
Then, while drinking, Lu Xiaofeng told a story about the Golden Roc Dynasty.
After the fall of their kingdom, the royal descendants fled to the Central Plains with their retainers, and eventually a story of murder and murder arose over this enormous fortune.
"So that Shangguan Feiyan neither likes you, nor that young and talented Huo Qingtian, nor anyone else, but only likes that old man Huo Xiu?"
Tang Yu's focus was peculiar, and Lu Xiaofeng found it amusing.
“That’s right, she really only likes Huo Xiu, maybe because Huo Xiu is the richest.”
She's so beautiful and cunning, yet she ended up falling for a lousy old man.
It probably comes down to a lack of intelligence.
Chapter 22 Ending
The affairs of the Golden Roc Dynasty had nothing to do with Tang Yu and Hua Manlou; they had only heard a story.
Lu Xiaofeng stayed for a few days and then left again. He didn't reappear until the day of their wedding.
"This is a luminous pearl that I found with great difficulty, and I am giving it to you as a wedding gift."
"So you spent the past two months preparing wedding gifts for us?"
Tang Yu joked with a smile, and Lu Xiaofeng nodded.
"Even though I always get free meals and drinks, I still want to give you a surprise gift."
"I brewed a lot of wine in the past two months. In a few months, the aroma should be quite strong. Remember to come and drink some."
Upon hearing this, Hua Manlou also spoke up.
“My door has always been open for you; you are welcome to come anytime.”
My wine is different from yours; when the time comes, you can taste them and decide which you prefer.
These words made Lu Xiaofeng laugh.
“I’m not stupid. The wine you two brew must both be delicious. There’s no such thing as one being better than the other.”
After delivering the wedding gifts, Lu Xiaofeng went out for drinks, while Hua Manlou, as the groom, also had to entertain the guests.
The wedding banquet didn't end until it was completely dark, and Hua Manlou finally went to his room.
Why did you change your clothes?
Hua Manlou smelled slightly of alcohol and was a little tipsy, but not completely drunk.
Tang Yu had already taken off her red wedding dress, and was now wearing a different red dance dress, which puzzled Hua Manlou.
"After your eyes recovered, we traveled all over the world, and I will accompany you to see all the beautiful scenery in the world in the future."
But there's something you probably haven't seen yet. We can go see it together sometime, but for the first time, I'd like to give it to you by myself.
After saying this, Tang Yu stood up and took Hua Manlou's hand to sit down on the bed.
Then, she took a few steps back.
"There's a flute on the bed. Come and play it for me, and I'll dance for you."
Hua Manlou smiled instantly; he hadn't expected such a surprise today.
So, following his wife's instructions, he played a tune, and Tang Yu began to sway her skirt and dance the dance she had prepared for months.
This wasn't Tang Yu's first time dancing, but it was the first time in her life she had danced in front of strangers.
Her dance moves were light and graceful, like butterflies fluttering in spring.
