Douluo Continent: The Evil Tiger Subdues the Eight Desolations, and Marries Zhu Zhuqing

The walls were covered with bright red "double happiness" characters, and auspicious candles shaped like dragons and phoenixes were lit on the table. The flickering candlelight bathed the entire room in an ambiguous, warm red glow.

Lin Ye, holding the slightly tipsy Zhu Zhuqing in his arms, kicked open the door and strode inside.

With a "bang," he slammed the door shut with his heel, shutting out all the noise from the outside world.

"Ouch! Be gentle!"

Startled by the sudden tremor, Zhu Zhuqing playfully patted Lin Ye's firm chest, her cheeks flushed with a captivating blush.

She was so happy today.

At the wedding banquet, facing the respectful toasts from those important figures she had once only looked up to, she couldn't help but drink a few more glasses than usual.

At this moment, the effects of the alcohol made her usually cool cat-like eyes mist over with tears, making them appear exceptionally dreamy and captivating.

"It won't be any less."

Lin Ye looked down at the charming girl in his arms and felt his mouth go dry, his Adam's apple bobbing involuntarily.

He gently placed Zhu Zhuqing on the wedding bed covered with a bright red brocade quilt, and then leaned over her, completely enveloping her petite body in his shadow.

"Tonight is our wedding night. If I'm too light, wouldn't I seem very unprofessional?"

The warm breath sprayed onto Zhu Zhuqing's sensitive earlobe, causing her to tremble slightly.

"You scoundrel...all you do is spout these indecent things all day."

Zhu Zhuqing blushed and turned her head away, not daring to look into his burning eyes that seemed to want to devour her.

"I'm only being inappropriate with you."

Lin Ye chuckled softly, reached out, and gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere between them instantly became heated.

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's eyelashes trembling slightly with nervousness, and her red lips glistening in the candlelight, Lin Ye could no longer suppress the flames in his heart.

He leaned down and kissed her precisely.

"Well……"

Zhu Zhuqing's soft moans were completely swallowed up.

At first, she resisted a little, placing her hands on his chest, trying to push him away.

But Lin Ye's kiss was both domineering and tender, full of undeniable aggression, yet carefully protecting her innocence.

Soon, Zhu Zhuqing was completely captivated.

Her feeble resistance turned into tenderness, and her hands, which had initially pushed him away, now wrapped around his neck, responding to him awkwardly.

After the kiss ended, both of them were breathing heavily.

Zhu Zhuqing's face was already flushed, and her eyes were full of alluring charm.

"Fool..." she said, looking at Lin Ye, her voice barely audible.

"Um?"

"Will...will we always be like this?" Zhu Zhuqing's voice carried a hint of uncertainty.

Everything today feels like a beautiful dream.

She was afraid that when she woke up, everything would go back to square one.

Lin Ye saw the hint of unease in her eyes and his heart softened.

He knew that this woman had lived in extreme insecurity since childhood.

Even though she now holds a supreme position, the vulnerability deep within her heart still remains.

"fool."

Lin Ye reached out and gently stroked her cheek, his eyes more serious than ever before.

"We won't stay like this forever."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's heart clenched, and the color drained from her face instantly.

"Because..." Lin Ye paused, a gentle smile appearing on his face.

"We will be a million times better than we are now."

"I will make you the happiest woman in the world, and no one and nothing will be able to hurt you in the slightest."

"I will stay by your side forever, until the end of time."

His words instantly soothed all of Zhu Zhuqing's unease and fear.

"Yes." Zhu Zhuqing nodded heavily, her eyes slightly moist.

She leaned forward and gently placed a kiss on his lips.

"Lin Ye".

"Um?"

"I love you."

This was the first time she had ever spoken those three words so bluntly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye's body jolted violently, and his heart felt as if it had been struck hard by something.

Looking into Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, which were filled with love and dependence, he felt as if his whole body was melting.

"I love you too, my big kitty."

He growled and kissed her again.

This kiss was no longer just a fleeting one.

The temperature inside the room was steadily rising.

Clothes were removed, and red candles flickered.

The moon outside the window shyly hid behind the clouds.

……

After a long while, the room returned to calm.

Zhu Zhuqing lay lazily on Lin Ye's strong chest, drawing circles on his chest with her slender fingers.

Her face still had a lingering blush, and she exuded a breathtaking charm.

"Lin Ye," she suddenly spoke, her voice husky with a hint of satisfaction.

"What's wrong? Haven't I fed you enough?" Lin Ye asked with a wicked smile, his arms around her smooth back.

"Ugh!" Zhu Zhuqing punched him in the chest in an annoyed tone.

"I'm being serious!"

"Okay, go ahead, I'm listening." Lin Ye smiled.

Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment before asking in a slightly embarrassed voice:

"Do you...do you prefer boys or girls?"

After asking the question, she buried her face in Lin Ye's arms, not daring to look at him.

Lin Ye was taken aback at first, but then he understood what she meant, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

This woman has already started thinking about their future and their children.

He burst into laughter and hugged her even tighter.

"That's a good question!"

He deliberately kept everyone in suspense.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but raise her head and look at him curiously.

Lin Ye said matter-of-factly, "Only children make choices. Of course I want them all!"

"A beautiful and aloof little princess, just like you."

"Let's have another guy like me, handsome and domineering."

"The dragon and phoenix bring good fortune, together forming the Chinese character '好' (good), isn't that wonderful?"

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard his self-righteous words.

Her shyness and worry vanished amidst the laughter.

Yes, with this man around, what else does she have to worry about?

"Dream on, it's not that easy."

Although she said that, the happiness and sweetness in her eyes were impossible to hide.

"Whether it's easy or not, we'll find out by trying!" A flame reignited in Lin Ye's eyes.

He flipped over and regained the initiative.

"You...you didn't say..." Zhu Zhuqing was shocked.

"What did I say? I said it should be auspicious with dragon and phoenix. Of course, you have to try a few more times to increase the success rate of such things."

Lin Ye was talking nonsense with a straight face.

"You...you beast!"

"Hahaha, tonight I'll show you what a real beast is!"

……

The red candles burned out, and the night grew deeper.

This night was absolutely wonderful!

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

Lin Ye opened his eyes feeling refreshed, as if his whole body was filled with inexhaustible energy.

He turned his head and looked at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still fast asleep beside him.

After a night of nourishment, her exquisite face seemed to radiate a lustrous glow, like the finest mutton fat jade.

Long eyelashes cast a soft shadow under her eyelids, her sleeping face serene and beautiful.

Lin Ye's heart stirred, and he couldn't help but lean over and gently peck her red lips.

"Well……"

Zhu Zhuqing let out a lazy nasal sound and slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw the handsome face magnified in front of her, she was stunned at first, and then the crazy and shameful scenes from last night flooded into her mind.

"You're awake? My Mrs. Lin."

Seeing her shy and adorable appearance, Lin Ye was in a great mood and couldn't help but tease her.

"Who...who is your wife!"

Zhu Zhuqing was both ashamed and angry. She pulled the blanket over her head like an ostrich.

"Oh? Who was it last night, crying and calling me 'husband'? Now they're denying it?"

Lin Ye grinned mischievously and reached out to pull at her blanket.

"I'm ignoring you!" Zhu Zhuqing's muffled voice came from under the covers.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing that she was really annoyed, Lin Ye stopped joking.

He pulled the blanket aside a crack and said softly:

"Get up quickly, the sun is already high in the sky. I've had the maid prepare your favorite breakfast."

Upon hearing about food, Zhu Zhuqing's stomach rumbled twice.

After a whole night of fussing, she was really starving.

She then reluctantly peeked her head out from under the covers, glaring fiercely at Lin Ye, her eyes seeming to say, "It's all your fault."

Lin Ye laughed heartily, "Isn't that what life is all about?"
