Having cultivated myself into an immortal, all I want to do is raise female disciples.

"Then I'll try it out with Xiao Jiang later. It doesn't matter if we get close."

……

Jiang Yuetian was silent for a few seconds, then looked at Jiang Shaoguang and Fan Luokui with eyes full of survival instinct.

"Third junior brother, eighth junior sister... keep it up!"

He certainly didn't want to share a bed with his teacher!

God knows what this perverted teacher might do to me...do some weird and awful things...

Even though we're all men, I'm still wearing revealing women's clothing... who knows, my legs, my waist, and all that... might get touched all over...

It's terrifying to even think about!

"And so, that's how it is~"

Yun Ping spread his hands, smiling as he looked at the astonished Fan Luo Kui and Jiang Shao Guang.

"Well then, could you please pretend to be a newlywed couple for a little while longer?"

37. All done.

They said they would pretend to be a newlywed couple...

But this place is, after all, a secret realm transformed from the tomb of a demonic immortal, and in such a solemn setting—the two of them are lying in their bridal chamber sleeping…

It's strange in every sense of the word!

And more importantly...

Fan Luokui lay flat next to Jiang Shaoguang, her pretty face stiffly turned towards him at a subtle angle, glancing at her third senior brother out of the corner of her eye.

How can we get closer...?

She remained silent, but various images that were not suitable for children kept flashing through her mind. Her originally icy cheeks unconsciously flushed red, making her look somewhat like a bride with rouge on her lips.

"that……"

"that……"

The two people lying on the bed suddenly spoke at the same time.

Jiang Shaoguang and Fan Luokui exchanged an awkward glance, then immediately turned their heads away, and fell silent once again.

How embarrassing...

The atmosphere was so awkward it could make someone with severe embarrassment die on the spot, but Ms. Fan Luokui couldn't think of any way to ease the tension.

If only atmosphere could be cut off with a knife.

"As expected of Luo Kui," such an unrealistic thought popped into the mind of a certain cherry-haired girl.

And it was at this moment—

"I never thought I'd actually be lying in this bed one day..."

As if talking to himself, or perhaps to break the awkward silence, Jiang Shaoguang looked up at the ceiling covered with decorative paper and remarked with a sigh.

Fan Luo Kui's thoughts were unconsciously pulled in this direction. She blinked and asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"You mean the wedding night?" Jiang Shaoguang scratched his head and gave a wry smile. "I originally thought that the day I would enter the wedding night was still a long way off."

……

The cherry-haired girl gazed at the young man's profile, and from that all-too-familiar face, she could see Jiang Shaoguang's bitterness without missing a single detail.

Her cherry lips parted slightly as she said, "Third Senior Brother, have you ever fantasized that the person you sleep with... should be that Su Yu?"

"...Wouldn't it seem too fake if I said no?"

"A little."

"Sigh..." The blond youth sighed, as if trying to expel all the sorrow in his heart: "There's nothing I can do about it. Sometimes this brain just likes to overthink. If I could survive by cutting off my head and erasing all the memories inside, I probably would have done it already."

"It's a pity, there's no such way."

Jiang Shaoguang turned his head slightly away, as if he didn't want Fan Luokui to notice his expression.

"When it comes to feelings, honestly, they're not that easy to forget."

“Even now—” Fan Luo Kui’s blush faded slightly, and an unknown, slightly dim light flickered in her pale golden eyes: “Senior brother would probably also hope that it was Su Yu lying next to him…”

"To be honest, I have thought about it."

Jiang Shaoguang did not choose to deceive Fan Luokui.

He was telling the truth.

From the moment he stepped into the bridal chamber, he couldn't help but think of the girl who used to watch fireworks with him, the girl who held a very important place in his memory.

You say you should forget, that it's all in the past, but how easy is it for a person to completely erase their memories?

Jiang Shaoguang is not a machine, nor is he a heartless person... If ten years could be forgotten so quickly, then there probably wouldn't be so many people in the world troubled by love.

but--

Jiang Shaoguang's next words made Fan Luokui, whose face was beginning to darken, pause for a second.

"That's true, but it's fine if it's not her."

"What do you mean?" Fan Luokui asked.

"that is--"

Jiang Shaoguang turned around, and this time, he wasn't as stiff as before. Instead, he lay down on his side, his handsome face facing Fan Luokui.

Fan Luo Kui stared blankly—for some reason, she also turned to the side, and on the crimson wedding bed, at an extremely close distance, looked at the blond young man in front of her.

With each breath, she could even feel Jiang Shaoguang's warm breath, and Jiang Shaoguang could naturally smell the unique, delicate fragrance of a young girl on Fan Luokui.

He smiled slightly, revealing a very gratified smile, and his words, like a spring breeze, brushed past the girl's ear.

"It's okay that you're lying next to me now."

……

boom!

The entire wedding bed trembled violently.

Fan Luokui rolled over at lightning speed, nearly collapsing the entire bed due to the excessive force.

The reason why our Luo Kui girl turned things around is quite simple...

After all, the sudden flush on her face was something she absolutely couldn't let others see; if they did, her image as an ice queen would crumble.

"Wha...what's going on..."

Jiang Shaoguang's face turned pale. For a moment, he thought he was going to be destroyed along with the bed.

Faced with Jiang Shaoguang's question, Fan Luokui remained silent for a few seconds, catching her breath, before answering in a relatively calm voice, "N-nothing... Senior brother, don't worry about it."

"Compared to that... what did you mean by what you just said, senior brother?"

It means exactly what it says.

Jiang Shaoguang smiled and continued, "Ten years is indeed a very long time... but I still think I will live a relatively long life. These ten years are just a blink of an eye compared to the days to come."

"She is indeed very important to me... at least to me right now, even though it's already been determined that there's no future for her..."

"However, even without her, I think I won't be alone. Perhaps I will live for thousands or tens of thousands of years, and in those thousands or tens of thousands of years, she will certainly not be the one accompanying me."

"But rather, those strange people in that small courtyard house..."

"Luo Kui, you are one of them."

After hearing Jiang Shaoguang's words, Fan Luokui stiffly turned around again.

However, the blush on her face did not fade immediately.

She hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "So, I'm very important to Third Senior Brother?"

"Very important."

Without any hesitation, Jiang Shaoguang replied.

Fan Luokui bit her lower lip lightly, then deliberately adopted a cold tone, questioning Jiang Shaoguang in return: "So, Third Senior Brother, are you so sure that I will stay with you from now on?"

Of course!

Jiang Shaoguang looked at Fan Luokui's profile and chuckled:

"You are my important junior sister. Even if you want to run away, I will stop you."

Junior sister...

Fan Luokui's face turned cold, and then she stretched her hand out from under the covers, raising her slender little finger.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Shaoguang looked at the slender hand placed in front of him and was not quite sure what Fan Luokui meant.

Fan Luokui coldly replied:

"That's called a commitment."

She pursed her lips, as if recalling the various misdeeds of a certain pigeon spirit: "If you don't make a promise, you'll definitely keep standing me up in the future."

Jiang Shaoguang looked at Fan Luokui's appearance and smiled helplessly.

(Even if he makes a promise, he might still break it.)

However, if such words were said in the current atmosphere, Fan Luokui would undoubtedly kill him, right?

For the sake of his own life, Jiang Shaoguang decided to hold off on telling the truth for the time being.

"Okay~ This is a promise."

He also reached out his hand, and their little fingers intertwined.

To Jiang Shaoguang's surprise, after they made the pinky promise, Fan Luokui's hand turned around and grabbed his hand, and he immediately felt the girl's slightly cold but incredibly soft skin against his palm.

"This is……"

"The teacher just said we should be more intimate, right?"
