After descending the mountain, my aloof fiancée became completely devoted to me.

Seeing her disheveled and tearful appearance, Chi Yao's stern words suddenly stopped.

Only she knew that while she was scolding Liu Lian, she was also feeling endless loneliness and bitterness in her heart.

Ever since Lin Ping saved her and she completely submitted to him, this incredibly powerful, gentle, and protective man had taken deep root in her heart. She was equally reluctant to part with him and filled with resentment, but having experienced the dangers of the martial world, her mind had become more composed and reserved, and she dared not reveal a trace of it, only able to suppress it tightly.

Each lost in their own thoughts, one wept while the other remained silent, creating an atmosphere of extreme oppression.

"Why must you two do this?"

A gentle, soft voice drifted over.

Shen Aoxue walked slowly to the two of them, carrying a jar of old mountain wine that had been sealed for many years. Her eyes were gentle and gentle, without a trace of resentment, only indifference and relief.

She placed the wine jar on the stone table and gently patted Liu Lian's shoulder: "I feel sad and resentful too, but it's already a blessing that we can stay by his side."

Shen Aoxue had long since seen through the situation and accepted everything calmly. Lin Ping was a hidden dragon soaring through the heavens, and no one could hold him back. To be by his side forever was the best possible outcome.

"Come, the moonlight is just right tonight. Let the three of us drink and share our thoughts."

Shen Aoxue raised her hand and patted open the seal, and the rich aroma of wine instantly filled the air.

Three women with very different personalities, but all with the same heart, sat around a stone table.

There was no competition, no jealousy, only a shared sense of mutual appreciation. Three shots of strong liquor went down my throat, burning and stinging, but they suppressed all the grievances, resentment, and loneliness in my heart.

Inside the new house, red candles flickered, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Lin Ping pushed open the door and entered, looking at Zhu Xiaohan, who was sitting upright on the bed and dressed in a beautiful red dress, with a complex mix of emotions in his eyes.

Zhu Xiaohan looked up at the sound, her aloofness vanished, her cheeks flushed, and her voice was barely audible: "Lin Ping."

Lin Ping stepped forward slowly, about to speak, when his mind suddenly sharpened!

He appeared relaxed and indifferent, but in reality, his internal energy was constantly circulating throughout his body, and his senses had already covered the entire Lingyun Mountain.

At that very moment, deep within the mountains and forests, more than ten extremely subtle and terrifying auras, far surpassing those of the Blood Shadow Pavilion leader, quietly locked onto the entire Bamboo Courtyard!

Its aura was chilling and bone-piercing, its presence concealed and dormant, without making a sound, yet carrying a world-destroying killing intent.

This is something that ordinary Blood Shadow Pavilion disciples could never possess!

Lin Ping's gaze suddenly deepened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The Blood Shadow Pavilion Master himself has arrived?

not only that!

These dozen or so auras, each one belonging to the Grandmaster realm, possessed profound foundations and overwhelming killing intent, clearly indicating that they were the top experts from the seven major martial arts sects in the North and South!

Instead of launching a rash attack, they lay in wait, observing and plotting, clearly intending to launch a swift and decisive attack when the wedding was over and everyone was least on guard!

Seeing his sudden change in expression, Zhu Xiaohan immediately became alert, stood up, and whispered, "What's wrong?"

Lin Ping concealed all the sharpness in his eyes, his face returned to calm, pretending to be completely unaware, a cold smile curving his lips.

The lurking jackals finally couldn't hold back any longer.

He won the heart of a beauty tonight, surrounded by a succubus, yet the terrifying danger lurking in the shadows and the ultimate conspiracy of the martial world have only just begun to unfold.

The seven major martial arts sects and the Blood Shadow Pavilion Master have joined forces to attack, and this deadly trap set against him has now been completely formed!

Meanwhile, the three women who were deeply concerned about him were completely drawn into this vortex of life and death.

Red candles burned brightly, their flames crackling softly, casting a warm, red glow throughout the bridal chamber. The atmosphere inside was quiet, yet tinged with an unspoken awkwardness.

Lin Ping sat at the table, his fingertips lightly tapping the wooden surface. His gaze fell on Zhu Xiaohan in front of him, a hint of awkwardness in his eyes. He was a ruthless and decisive man who had never shown the slightest fear in the face of countless powerful enemies, but faced with this hasty marriage and the gentle and beautiful girl before him, he felt a little restrained.

Zhu Xiaohan was dressed in a bright red wedding gown, her black hair styled in a high bun. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate and gentle, and her cheeks were flushed. Her long eyelashes drooped, and she nervously clutched the hem of her skirt. She secretly glanced at Lin Ping, met his clear and deep gaze, and hurriedly lowered her head, her ears turning completely red.

She had long admired Lin Ping and was filled with affection for him, eagerly anticipating this moment of being together. However, the young woman remained reserved, and even though her heart was stirred, she dared not overstep the bounds of propriety. She could only sit quietly, letting the ambiguous atmosphere slowly spread between them.

"The moonlight on Lingyun Mountain is much quieter than in the city," Lin Ping broke the silence first, his voice gentle and carrying a hint of deliberate relaxation.

Zhu Xiaohan responded softly, her voice barely audible: "Yes, the mountains are always quiet and peaceful, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city."

"I'm sorry you had to go through this today." Lin Ping looked at her reddened eyes and said sincerely, "The wedding was rushed and the manners were impolite; it was my oversight."

Zhu Xiaohan immediately looked up, her eyes clear and gentle, and shook her head slightly: "Being able to stay by your side, sir, is the best destination for me. How could I feel wronged?"

A single heartfelt remark instantly dissolved most of the awkwardness.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the girl's beautiful face, her eyes filled with open and passionate affection. Zhu Xiaohan mustered her courage, no longer able to suppress her feelings. She took light steps and walked slowly to Lin Ping, leaning down slightly to gently nestle her soft body into his embrace.

The warm, fragrant embrace, the strands of hair brushing against Lin Ping's neck, brought a slight tickle.

The ambiguous atmosphere instantly became intense, and the air inside the room became scalding hot.

Lin Ping's body stiffened slightly. Looking down, he could see the flushed profile of the person in his arms. His heartbeat slowed down, and tenderness welled up in his eyes. He raised his hand, about to gently support her shoulder, when suddenly a series of unsteady footsteps came from outside, accompanied by soft, drunken moans.

The next second, the door creaked open!

Liu Lian, dressed in plain clothes, with disheveled hair, flushed cheeks, and reeking of alcohol, stumbled in.

In the courtyard just now, she used strong liquor to vent her emotions, getting Shen Aoxue and Chi Yao completely drunk. The two of them had already fallen into a deep sleep by the stone table. Only she, under the influence of the alcohol, had her obsession intensify. All the suppressed love and grievances in her heart could no longer be restrained, and she went straight to the bridal chamber.

"Brother Linping!"

Liu Lian's eyes were hazy and his steps were unsteady. He spotted the two embracing each other at a glance, but he showed no intention of backing down. He rushed forward and grabbed Lin Ping's waist tightly.

She clung tightly to Lin Ping, her head buried in his clothes, her voice thick with the smell of alcohol and a sob: "I won't let you get married... I won't let you be with her! Brother Lin Ping, I love you, I've loved you for so long!"

The new house fell silent instantly.

Zhu Xiaohan straightened up and quietly looked at the two embracing each other. Her expression was calm, without a trace of anger, only a hint of helplessness and understanding in her eyes.

Liu Lian completely ignored everyone else, looked up at Lin Ping, his wet eyes filled with obsessive love, and tiptoed to lean in for a kiss, his actions bold and stubborn.

Lin Ping quickly raised his hand and gently supported her shoulder, creating some distance between them. He frowned slightly and looked helplessly at Zhu Xiaohan beside him, saying reassuringly, "Xiaohan, don't overthink it."
