Chapter 393: Chapter 383: Master Said No Cheating

Qing Zhi, clad in a crimson robe, was led by Long Chen. She walked elegantly step by step into the grand hall, standing before Ximen Wuhen alongside Long Chen.

This was a simple yet solemn wedding, the solemnity stemming from Ximen Wuhen.

In the Cultivation World of Great Xia, Ximen Wuhen held a supremely exalted status.

Having him as a wedding officiant was something worth bragging about for a lifetime, and this was no exaggeration.

Many had tried to invite him, but none had succeeded.

Under Ximen Wuhen’s guidance, Long Chen and Qing Zhi smoothly completed the ceremony.

After the rites of kowtowing as husband and wife, by tradition, they were officially married.

Next came the tea ceremony.

Everything progressed swiftly and naturally without any discord.

Ximen Wuhen rose, took Qing Zhi’s hand, and placed it in Long Chen’s palm, speaking gently, "From now on, Qing Zhi is in your care. Treat her well and do not bully her. She may seem cold outside but is warm inside, a well-behaved child. She tends to keep her worries and troubles to herself, you need to be more observant and patient.

Furthermore, I know that in the mortal world, a true married couple needs a marriage certificate, but you do not. As Ximen Wuhen, personally officiating your wedding, you are husband and wife for life, irrevocably, no certificate needed."

"Rest assured, I will treat Qing Zhi well," Long Chen said solemnly.

"Good."

Ximen Wuhen turned away.

Lan’er, understanding the cue, immediately approached and whispered, "It’s time for the bridal chamber."

Upon hearing this, the usually composed Qing Zhi finally blushed.

Surrounded by Lan’er and Liuli, the couple entered the meticulously arranged bridal chamber.

Inside the bridal chamber, red candles burned, exuding a fragrant scent and creating a warm atmosphere.

Qing Zhi sat at the edge of the bed while Long Chen approached her and looked at her breath-taking beauty. He opened his mouth as if to speak, yet hesitated.

"Speak your mind," Qing Zhi said softly.

"Qing Zhi, I’m sorry, it’s because of me that you ended up here. I know you probably don’t willingly want to marry me, I understand that. So rest assured, I will not touch you. Though we are husband and wife in name, later, if you find someone you truly love and want to leave, I will not stop you," Long Chen said sincerely.

Slap.

The moment Long Chen finished his words, Qing Zhi slapped him.

Long Chen, touching his face, stared puzzled at Qing Zhi.

Qing Zhi’s tears fell freely as she said, "What do you think I am? We have already performed the wedding rites. No matter what happens, you are my husband, and I am your wife, forever unchanging. I only want one husband for life. If you betray me, I shall never marry again."

"Qing Zhi, you..."

Long Chen was utterly astonished.

"Do you really think I just complied with my master’s wishes in marrying you? You fool, if I had not fallen for you, how could I have agreed so readily? Actually, I’ve always been somewhat rebellious. The master knows it, Liuli knows it, Lan’er knows it, they all understand," Qing Zhi declared.

Long Chen fell silent.

He needed a moment to digest everything.

Just then, Qing Zhi raised her hand, gently caressing Long Chen’s cheek, "Husband, does it hurt?"

"What do you think?"

"Sorry, I was too impulsive earlier. Hit me back."

Her gaze was tender, as if melting into softness.

Long Chen looked at her, amazed as if beholding a celestial being.

She wasn’t supremely beautiful, but those eyes, like starry skies, made her seem like a fairy, breathtaking and immensely alluring.

In a glance, an eternity!

"How could I bear to hit you?" Long Chen held Qing Zhi’s hand.

Qing Zhi shyly lowered her head.

Long Chen smiled and said, "Go to sleep."

"Hmm?"

Qing Zhi suddenly looked up, "What do you mean?"

"It’s getting late, of course we should rest. You sleep on the bed, and I’ll sleep on the floor," Long Chen said with a smile.

"Do you still refuse to admit that I am your wife?" Qing Zhi showed signs of tears again.

Long Chen hurriedly said, "No, that’s not it. I just want you to get used to it first."

"You jerk," Qing Zhi clenched her teeth. "Husband, I am your wife, however you want it to be, but if you don’t adhere to our martial bond, then you are just deceiving me, looking down on me."

"Nonsense."

"Then come here."

Qing Zhi bit her red lips gently.

"If you insist."

Long Chen gritted his teeth and lunged forward.

Qing Zhi’s heart was tight with nervousness.

But deep down, she was anticipating something.

"Hey, the master said no pretending, Big Brother Long, do your best, I’m going back to my room now."

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the door.

Qing Zhi and Long Chen both froze, and then Qing Zhi’s face turned as red as a big apple. "That darn girl, how annoying."

"I’ll go see if she’s still there."

Long Chen tried to get up.

"Don’t," Qing Zhi wrapped her arms around Long Chen’s neck, breathing softly, "Leave her be."

"Do you really have no regrets?"

Long Chen looked into Qing Zhi’s starry eyes.

Qing Zhi stared back into Long Chen’s eyes. Their gazes met, and the temperature rose sharply.

She whispered softly, "I have no regrets."

"Neither do I."

Long Chen bent down and kissed her.

Qing Zhi responded awkwardly, her emotions growing more intense, instinctively clinging tightly to Long Chen.

However, just as they were about to go further, Lan’er’s anxious voice came through, "It’s bad, Big Brother Long, Qing Zhi, the old master is in a very bad state, you must come quickly."

Hearing this, both Qing Zhi and Long Chen were shocked.

They quickly adjusted their clothes and hurried out.

"What happened to the elder?"

Long Chen asked.

Lan’er, in a fluster, said, "I’m sorry, I know I shouldn’t have come now, but the old master is continuously vomiting blood, his face is pale, I was scared, so I came to call you."

"Let’s go see."

Long Chen rushed towards Ximen Wuhen’s hall.

Qing Zhi and Lan’er followed hurriedly.

Entering the hall, Long Chen saw that Ximen Wuhen was indeed in a terrible state, drained of all vigor.

Seeing Long Chen and Qing Zhi arrive, Ximen Wuhen hastily gestured, "It’s nothing, just an old ailment. Go back, don’t mind me."

"Master, how can we leave with you like this?"

Qing Zhi stepped forward, supporting Ximen Wuhen.

"Qing Zhi, if the master says it’s fine, then it’s fine. Rest easy. I still have to teach Long Chen the secrets of Martial Immortal Mountain and handle various matters. If it really were serious, I would definitely start all this immediately. Go back now, it’s late, go rest."

Ximen Wuhen said.

"But..."

"Qing Zhi, let’s go back for now. Elder, you should also rest," Long Chen said.

"Yes, go ahead."

Ximen Wuhen waved his hand.

Long Chen pulled Qing Zhi back to their room. Both were feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

"My husband, I am really worried about master’s condition; he looked very bad."

After sitting down, Qing Zhi leaned her head softly against Long Chen’s shoulder.

Long Chen, with his arm around Qing Zhi’s slender waist, said, "He has lived a fulfilling life, and I respect him greatly. We should try to be more relaxed and not make him worry."

"Yes, you are right," Qing Zhi slightly turned her eyes. "So, shall we continue?"
