Chapter 17 The Night Is Too Short...
More and more people gathered to watch the spectacle, and the roadside was filled with people pointing and whispering.
"The Feng family really married their daughter to him?"
"That's right, I just stepped out the door."
"She's the most beautiful woman in Great Wilderness City! So many families have come to propose marriage to her before, and she was rejected every time. How did she end up getting such a good match?"
"What do you know? Luo Chen is capable now, he can use spirit-level cultivation techniques with ease. Wouldn't your daughter marry him?"
"True...rich, powerful, and handsome, you can't find fault with him."
"It's just that the reputation is bad, because they killed the entire Zhu family."
"How can that be the same? The Zhu family tried to harm him first. Wouldn't you have killed them if you were in their shoes?"
The murmurs rose and fell, and Luo Chen rode ahead on horseback, hearing everything clearly, the smile on his lips never fading.
The procession passed through several streets and arrived at the gate of the Luo residence.
Another round of firecrackers went off. Luo Chen dismounted and walked to the bridal sedan chair. He reached out and lifted the curtain, sticking a hand inside.
Beneath the red veil, a slender, fair hand emerged and gently rested on his palm.
Luo Chen grasped that hand, his fingertips tightening slightly, and pulled the person out.
Feng Wanyi stood beside him. Although she couldn't see the road because of the veil, she walked steadily and calmly with each step.
Luo Chen secretly praised her: This girl is composed.
After entering the main hall, they paid their respects to Heaven and Earth, and the husband and wife bowed to each other.
After the ceremony, Feng Wanyi was led into the bridal chamber, while Luo Chen stayed outside to drink with her for several rounds.
The Feng family, the Luo family's servants, and the neighbors who had been temporarily hired to help—several tables of people made a ruckus until dark before gradually dispersing.
Luo Chen pushed open the door to the bridal chamber and went inside.
The room was filled with bright red candles, creating a festive atmosphere.
Feng Wanyi sat upright on the edge of the bed, her hands folded on her knees, her back straight.
Luo Chen walked over, stopped in front of her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and reached out to lift the red veil.
The candlelight illuminated her face, revealing eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn waters, and lips like a touch of vermilion.
Her fair skin glowed warmly in the candlelight, making her so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
Feng Wanyi lowered her eyes slightly, her eyelashes trembled gently, and a blush crept up her ears.
Luo Chen stared at her for several breaths without looking away.
"it's beautiful."
He chuckled softly, his tone carrying a hint of earnest admiration.
"It's a good thing you rejected all those other people, otherwise I wouldn't have this good fortune."
Feng Wanyi neither moved nor spoke.
Luo Chen sat down next to her and turned to look at her.
"But then again, this might just be a match made in heaven."
Feng Wanyi finally looked up at him.
"Luo Chen, now that we're married, can you tell me why you married me? And why were you in such a hurry?"
Luo Chen raised his hand and gently lifted her chin, making her face him.
"My lady, you're overcomplicating things. I'm simply attracted to your beauty and want to sleep with you as soon as possible. Isn't that every man in Great Wilderness City's dream?"
Feng Wanyi frowned slightly, looking at him with clear eyes.
"Others might be, but you aren't."
Luo Chen raised an eyebrow, withdrew his hand, and sat up straight.
"Oh? Why am I not?"
Feng Wanyi stared into his eyes, her gaze unwavering.
"Someone like you, who can offer a spirit-level cultivation technique as a betrothal gift, someone who dared to kill an elder of the Martial Azure Sect and then stay there, would you really be so easily swayed by mere appearances? If you're truly that shallow, I'm actually relieved."
Luo Chen was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"Relationships between men and women are inherently superficial; it's all about mutual consent. It's not as complicated as you think."
Feng Wanyi watched without saying a word.
Her expression showed that she didn't believe it.
Luo Chen leaned closer, lowered his voice, and added a hint of teasing.
"My wife, the night is too short...shouldn't we...take the final step?"
Feng Wanyi's ears turned even redder, and the candlelight reflected on her pretty face, making her blush as alluring as a budding flower.
She didn't argue, and slowly closed her eyes.
Now that you've married him, you belong to him.
Even if we don't consummate our marriage today, we can't escape it for more than a few days. We might as well go along with his wishes and everyone will be comfortable.
Luo Chen smiled as he looked at her with her eyes closed.
He reached out and put his arm around her waist, and the lamplight began to flicker.
......
The moon rises high in the night sky, and birds sing at dawn.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, a sliver of pale blue morning light shone through the window.
Feng Wanyi opened her eyes and nestled in Luo Chen's arms.
She moved slightly and found that Luo Chen's arm was still around her waist.
She looked up at him.
Luo Chen was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, his eyelashes casting a small shadow in the morning light.
A thought suddenly popped into Feng Wanyi's mind: this man is much gentler than she imagined. He handled things very well last night, and didn't make her feel uncomfortable.
At this moment, Luo Chen woke up.
He glanced at her, a smile curving his lips, a hint of morning languor in his expression.
"woke up?"
Feng Wanyi nodded, her voice still soft and sweet from just waking up.
"Um."
Luo Chen sat on the bed and casually pulled her into his arms.
"From now on, you'll have to work hard, Madam, and take better care of the household."
Feng Wan leaned against his chest and nodded.
"Of course, as long as my husband can trust me."
Luo Chen looked down at her and reached out to scratch her delicate nose.
"What are you saying, my wife? Now that we are husband and wife, I naturally trust you. But from now on, you should consider my feelings more in everything you do."
Feng Wanyi looked up at him, her eyes clear and bright.
"That's certainly how it should be. As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the Feng family, the Third Miss is willing to do anything for her husband."
This was a frank statement, and it was the very reason she married into the family.
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen tightened his grip on her arm and lowered his head to kiss her forehead.
"Madam, you can rest assured. The Feng family is also my family. From now on, I will not only refrain from harming the Feng family's interests, but I will also do my best to take care of and protect them."
Feng Wan leaned against him, and the weight in her heart finally lifted.
That's exactly what she wanted to hear.
The two leaned against each other quietly for a while, and Luo Chen looked at Feng Wanyi.
"Madam, your spirituality is good, but your cultivation method is somewhat lacking."
Feng Wanyi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at him.
"Yes, the mid-grade mortal-level cultivation technique at home is indeed not enough."
Luo Chen smiled.
"I'll give you another cultivation technique."
Feng Wanyi blinked, somewhat surprised.
"Give another one? Didn't you already give a spirit-level cultivation technique as a betrothal gift?"
"That was just the betrothal gift."
Luo Chen looked down at her, a smile in his eyes.
"You are my wife now, so naturally I should give my wife something better."
Feng Wanyi was confused. She sat up from his lap and stared into his eyes.
"Better? Isn't Spirit level the best?"
She had lived in the Great Wilderness City for eighteen years and had never heard of anyone possessing a cultivation technique higher than the Spirit level.
Mortal level, Spirit level, and above that is the legendary Immortal level, which is something that mortal forces should not possess.
Seeing the confusion in her eyes, Luo Chen spoke calmly.
"Do not."
He paused slightly.
"What I'm giving you is immortal magic."
"Wh...what?"
Feng Wanyi froze, staring at Luo Chen, her pupils shrinking slightly, thinking she had misheard.
"Immortal...immortal magic?"
She asked again in disbelief, her voice trembling.
