Chapter 9: Wife, Are You Asleep?
Marrying a wife as beautiful as a celestial maiden, yet on the wedding night he couldn't touch her, couldn't even get on the bed—he could only silently hug his knees, huddled in the corner against the wall...
Xiao Che truly felt the malice of this world.
The red candles flickered faintly, casting an ambiguous glow over the bridal chamber. The room fell into a long silence. Both were dressed in bright red wedding garments—one sat coldly and proudly by the bedside, the other pitifully curled up in the corner. Only the sound of their own breathing could be faintly heard.
After a long while, Xiao Che finally couldn't hold back and spoke: "You're not... really going to make me spend the night here like this, are you?"
Xia Qingyue's long lashes moved slightly. Her graceful body turned, and she lay down on the bed. The large red bed curtain cascaded down, allowing Xiao Che only a blurry silhouette in the candlelight. Immediately after, Xia Qingyue waved her jade hand, and the two red candles were simultaneously extinguished in a gust of cold wind... leaving Xiao Che unable to see even her shadow.
"..." If it weren't utterly impossible to defeat this woman, with that cold and proud demeanor of hers, he would have just forced himself on her.
"I was really just joking earlier. Not only was I not drunk, I hadn't even had a sip of wine the entire afternoon... Can't even take a joke, you really have no sense of humor," Xiao Che grumbled resentfully.
"I know you weren't drunk," Xia Qingyue finally spoke. "But I find men who urinate and defecate anywhere they please utterly disgusting."
Anywhere... urinate and defecate?
Could it be... the "splashing" sound from earlier when he expelled the wine from the Heavenly Poison Pearl?
Holy shit!!
Xiao Che's eyes widened, and he immediately jumped up in fury: "You're saying I urinated and defecated anywhere? Which of your eyes saw me do that? What you heard was the sound of me pouring out wine! Pouring out wine... pouring out wine, damn it! I, a dignified man of the Xiao Sect standing seven feet tall, how could I ever engage in such uncultured and unsophisticated behavior! You can look down on my profound strength, but you cannot insult my noble character and dignity!!"
After Xiao Che's explosive rant, a short while passed before he heard Xia Qingyue's leisurely voice: "I was just joking too."
"!@#$%^..." Xiao Che almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Xiao Che gloomily sat back down in the corner and didn't utter another word for a long time... This woman actually knew how to joke!!
Usually, he could sleep comfortably on a bed, but on his wedding night, he was forced to sleep in the corner... As if he could actually fall asleep! After holding it in for half a day, Xiao Che finally spoke again: "By the way, when are you going back to the Bing Yun Fairy Palace? Tomorrow, or the day after?"
Xia Qingyue: "!?"
Xiao Che chuckled, his expression calm: "Although I know very little about the Bing Yun Fairy Palace, I at least know that it only accepts women and forbids love and desire. The Bing Yun Fairy Palace has countless beauties, yet I've never heard of any of them marrying. But you married me. It seems that even within the Bing Yun Fairy Palace, your talent is still quite astonishing. Perhaps you're even a once-in-a-century prodigy—something like that...
Love you all!
