Dao Equaling the Heavens
Chapter 449 - 46: The Wedding Day

Chapter 449: Chapter 46: The Wedding Day

Gu Wen lit a candle, and the dim yellow light illuminated the room. The girl was dressed in a martial outfit, wrapped in a hemp cloak, with a Ring-Headed Sword hanging from her waist, resembling a wanderer from the martial world.

An odor of sweat still lingered on her, causing him to involuntarily step back. The girl immediately bristled, baring her teeth and saying, "You dare to find fault with me? Back in the Immortal Land days, you didn’t shun my saliva."

"In the outside world, I could be as fragrant as roasted pig’s trotters."

"Now, it’s like I’ve just crawled out of a pigsty."

Chi Yu Zi said with a forced smile, "Believe it or not, I’ll beat you up."

Gu Wen replied indifferently, "You can’t beat me, Venerable. When you see a Saint, you’d better kneel respectfully."

Some memories began to surface in his mind, this time not as foreign, but still exceedingly sparse.

He now knew the name of the girl in front of him, her Daoist name Chi Yu Zi, and her personal name Yun Li, who must be a very important person to him. However, their interaction was clearly not so harmonious, and he naturally uttered the words just now.

What is a Venerable, and what is a Saint?

Upon hearing this, Chi Yu Zi not only didn’t get angry but showed a delighted expression and said, "Have you recovered your memory? Not right, why haven’t those people in your family disappeared yet, and why hasn’t this dream-like world collapsed?"

She looked left and right, and with a kick, she disassembled the table, causing a clang that echoed throughout the Gu Residence.

Gu Wen watched his favorite tea set shattered on the ground, and he couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions while looking at Chi Yu Zi.

"Who are you?"

"I am your grandmother."

Chi Yu Zi cursed annoyedly and then, with a turn of her eyes, said, "Actually, I am your long-lost sister."

She had slept in this environment created by the old Bald Donkey for who knows how long. In her dim memories, she had no Daoist name but only the common name Yun Li.

Yun Li had a well-off family, with generations as officials and wealth in millions. Her parents doted on her immensely. She had a sister who was weaker in every aspect and a Gu surname fiancé whom she had never met.

Then, on her wedding night, her fiancé lifted her red bridal veil, smiled, and said, "Come on, buddy, why be shy?"

Chi Yu Zi instantly woke up, smashed his head with a punch, and then killed the whole family.

Parents, siblings, and even the family dog had to be torn in half.

Because everything was false, all were her desires. Only by severing desires could she awaken.

But now, Gu Wen clearly hadn’t awakened yet, and the relatives transformed by his desires still existed. However, since he could utter the words Heavenly Venerate Saint, he should be half-conscious.

Or perhaps his realm had risen, and the old Bald Donkey couldn’t turn Gu Wen into a complete mortal.

’I might as well stay here for the opportunity to act, and meanwhile tease this guy.’

Chi Yu Zi couldn’t help but smile at the thought of being called sister by Gu Wen every day.

Suddenly, voices came from outside, and lights flared up along with hurried footsteps. Guards had already arrived outside.

"Sixth Young Master, are you alright?"

Gu Wen answered, "Someone has broken in."

Without hesitation, a tall guard pushed the door open. Chi Yu Zi’s Ring-Headed Sword flashed out of its sheath, and the room tensed for a moment.

The aura emanating from the guard made Chi Yu Zi’s limbs go cold.

Everything in the Gu family was transformed by Gu Wen’s desires, every plant and every object.

The word ’guard’ meant the household guard, whose strength should not be weak. But why does it seem like he’s stronger than me? Is this guy’s casual thought so powerful?

"Seventh Miss!"

The guard suddenly spoke, put away his broadsword, and said with joy, "You’re finally back; the master misses you so much he can’t eat or sleep. I must hurry and report this to master."

With that, the guard turned and left.

Chi Yu Zi was taken aback, then understood that her words had taken effect.

She tilted her delicate chin up, looking arrogantly at Gu Wen, and said, "Gu Wen, call me sister, or else I’ll beat you up."

Gu Wen said pointing at himself, "I am the sixth, you are the younger sister. Quick, call me brother, or else I’ll beat you up."

"..."

Chi Yu Zi’s eyes widened, her expression changed, and she took three steps back towards the door.

"I suddenly have some business. I’ll come find you later."

Retreating to the doorway, a pair of large hands grabbed her, and she suddenly turned around to see a middle-aged version of Gu Wen. After struggling several times, her strength and Daoist practice dissipated like throwing a stone into the sea, unable to stir up any waves.

Mr. Gu angrily said, "Naughty girl, you actually remember to come home. This time, stay at home honestly."

"No! No!"

Chi Yu Zi struggled frantically, saying to Gu Wen, who was calmly inside the house, "Grandma doesn’t want to be the younger sister; let’s be siblings instead!"

-----------------

The next day, Chi Yu Zi had changed into a dress, transforming from a martial wanderer into a young lady of a respectable family.

Reluctantly, she called each ’Gu Wen’ brother, and when it was Gu Wen’s turn, she nearly gritted her teeth, looking like an irritable ferret ready to pounce at any moment.

But then everyone sat down, and she still fought to sit next to Gu Wen, and even kicked away Gu Wuzeng.

Because Wuzeng is the weakest here, so weak that Chi Yu Zi could also step on him.

This was somewhat abnormal; normally, one’s feelings of hatred are much stronger than other desires. As the saying goes, rather than critique oneself, it’s easier to trouble others.

However, for Gu Wen, it was the other way around; his hatred manifested as a weak and ugly figure.

Chi Yu Zi only had to glare, and he dared not make a sound.

’Does this guy prefer self-reflection?’

Recalling the time in Immortal Land, they had been surrounded and blocked on their journey, encountering various difficulties. Chi Yu Zi and Jun Yan often argued, and even during fights with enemies, they would taunt each other with sarcasm.
