"Wait, Rongrong." Yan Zhao was still confused when the young man on his body undressed most of his clothes, revealing a snow-white outfit.
"I'm not afraid of the cold anymore." Rong Yu stared at him, "Are you still afraid of getting married?"
Yan Zhao's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.
… He was still afraid.
Rong Yu was considerate and said, "I won't ask you to get married right now. When you pass the imperial examination, we can have the wedding night. I want to have double happiness."
Yan Zhao hesitated: "You have no status, it's really unfair to you..."
"I feel even more wronged because I am not satisfied with my desires. You don't want to get married, and you don't want to spend the bridal chamber. Do you not want to live with me, or is it that the person you are waiting for is not me at all?" Rong Yu's expression turned cold, and he left Yan Zhao. "If you hate me, just say it directly. At worst, we can break up immediately."
"No." Yan Zhao quickly pulled him back, "Of course I... like you."
"Then what are you hesitating about?" Rong Yu said impatiently, "I finally managed to overcome your cold body, please don't give me any more trouble."
Yan Zhao asked in a low voice: "Is this body yours?"
He knew that Rong and Wen Yichu were not alone, and he was reluctant to touch other people's bodies.
"We've kissed each other so many times, why are you asking this now?"
Yan Zhao lowered his head in guilt. That's because... I can't help myself.
Rong Yu said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not Wen Yichu's. Do you really think that ordinary mortals can adapt to your temperature in half a year?"
Yan Zhao said quietly: "Well, Rongrong is very powerful."
He only knew that his Rongrong was very powerful, but he didn't know what kind of existence Rongyu was. Without knowing anything, he would worry about gains and losses.
When Rongyu saw him like this, she knew clearly that Yang Shangshi must be really scared and had a heavy psychological trauma.
The shadow brought to this world is more serious than the physiological stress response of mortals. It is a fear engraved in the soul, unforgettable.
She says she is afraid of marriage, but in reality she is afraid that he will leave her.
If he confessed his identity and origins, he would be able to appease Yan Zhao.
But why
Not to mention the psychological shadow, the devil's heart was once completely black, without any shadow, and he still lived a comfortable and peaceful life. If it weren't for the light shining on his heart, his heart would not have become hot and red. If the light had not been removed, his heart would not have returned to darkness and he would have fallen into eternal anxiety.
During those long years, the sun never came back to comfort him.
The sun asked for this.
"Are you still afraid that I will leave?" Rong Yu asked bluntly.
Yan Zhao's thoughts were exposed, and he was stunned for a moment, trying to cover up his mistake and said, "No, I believe you..."
"You believe in me, but you don't have any confidence at all." Rong Yu hit the nail on the head.
Yan Zhao didn't believe he could keep Rongyu.
The proud sun really has no confidence in this world.
"I'll give you something." Rong Yu took out the Pisces jade pendant and handed it to Yan Zhao.
Yan Zhao took a look at the jade pendant and looked at him in confusion.
"Why are you looking at me? Keep it."
Yan Zhao accepted the jade pendant and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to give me a jade pendant?"
"As for these two fish, one is you and the other is me. As long as the jade pendant doesn't break into two pieces, we will be together forever." Rong Yu said clearly, "Do you believe that I will not leave you now?"
This set of rhetoric was thought up by Gu Minghuai from the second world, and Rong Yu is now using it to appease himself.
He still has to stay in this world for two and a half years, and he can't stand Yan Zhao's cautious look, so he decided to give him a reassurance first.
Yan Zhao was stunned for a moment, his eyes lit up, and his attitude towards the Pisces jade pendant suddenly became extremely serious.
This time he smiled sincerely, with a burning look in his eyes: "Well, I believe you."
Rongrong is willing to give him a token and make a promise, so he should also try to break his fear.
Rong Yu said lightly: "Then let's let this matter pass. Now let's get down to business... Um... Yan Zhao, are you born in the year of the dog? I told you to kiss, not bite!"
"I've been holding back for so long." Yan Zhao smiled, "I should take the initiative for once."
…
After half a year of adapting, Rong has become well accustomed to Yan Zhao's body temperature, and he would not feel cold even if he held him all night.
But surface contact is different from internal contact...
Rong Yu felt a little regretful. Although he loved eating a popsicle in the hot summer, it didn't mean he liked being nailed to the popsicle and unable to escape or get off. After a long time, the popsicle showed no sign of melting. He was about to turn from a raging fire into spring water...
After tasting the popsicle, Rong Yu lay on the bed and thought.
The Lord God is asking for trouble, and the devil is asking for punishment.
They are both the same. No one is smarter or cleverer than the other.
Yan Zhao was nervous: "Rongrong?"
Rong Yu Hemou: "Don't talk to me. I want to commit a crime when I hear your voice."
Yan Zhao coughed and said, "Then we can do it again... I don't mind being an accomplice."
Yong Yu: "I mean murder."
Yan Zhao: “…”
Rong Yu sighed: "I would rather you drip candles on me."
The candle couldn't hurt him, but the cold Yan Zhao could.
Yan Zhao: “?” Does Rongrong have any special hobbies
Yan Zhao didn't understand Rong Yu's frustration at the moment.
After three worlds, Yan Zhao's skills have actually been steadily improving. It's just that the circumstances of this life are special, Rong Yu didn't feel happy, just cold.
Rong Yu originally thought that sex was a wonderful form of entertainment, so he worked hard to adapt himself to Yan Zhao's cold body. Now that he has experienced it, he doesn't think it's so wonderful, so you can imagine how he feels.
"We have reached a consensus." Rong Yu said.
Yan Zhao: “Hmm?”
Rong Yu: "I am also afraid of marriage."
Sexual behavior before marriage is still necessary, otherwise it would be a tragedy if the sexual life was found to be unhappy after marriage.
Yan Zhao: “…”
Rong Yu stayed in this world for three years.
In three years, he was promoted from the fourth rank to the third rank, and the rest of his career would be up to Wen Yichu. The God of Luck also needed experience, and if he was promoted directly to the maximum level, the God of Luck might not be able to maintain a high position.
Rong Yu never understood what happened in the court, so he didn't know whether what Yan Zhao said was shocking or not. However, Wen Yichu listened to it from beginning to end in the soul lamp. He could see Yan Zhao's soul, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
Yan Zhao was ruling the country with the mindset of an emperor, which not only inspired Wen Yichu, but also gave a lot of advice to the young emperor Ren. Both Wen Yichu and Rendi respected Yan Zhao from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, in Rendi's eyes, the person he respected was Rong Yu.
In the normal world, Wen Yichu's career in the court was not smooth. He entered the government at the age of seven. He was knowledgeable but not human. He was excluded by the old foxes in the court because he was too upright and outspoken. He was also ridiculed and persecuted by the ministers because his proposed reforms were too naive and challenged the secular world. Emperor Ren also had great ambitions and regarded Wen Yichu as his confidant. However, the young emperor himself had an unstable foundation and could not protect Wen Yichu. He was often helpless and had many difficulties. In the first few years after entering the court, Wen Yichu was framed and exiled several times, and had countless ups and downs...
Later, after growing up through hardships, this monarch and minister finally found the right direction and created a peaceful and prosperous era that is praised by everyone in history.
Historical records show that they were glorious during their heyday, but rarely the setbacks they encountered when they were young and frivolous. Yan Zhao was acting as a mentor, seemingly an external plug-in for Rong Yu, but in fact, every word and sentence was giving advice and guidance to Emperor Ren and Wen Yichu, reducing their unnecessary detours, but not clearing away all their obstacles and depriving them of the opportunity to hone themselves.
When Wen Yi first saw the injustice of landlords oppressing the people, he was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to overthrow the landlords. This was out of the passion of a young man. However, Yan Zhao took a more calm and objective perspective and let him know that the consequence of rushing forward was the overthrow of the dynasty.
Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years. Wen Yichu really benefited a lot. He still did not change his idea of benefiting the people, but he no longer obsessed with unrealistic ideals.
He didn't know who Yan Zhao was, but he must have been a prominent figure during his lifetime.
Yan Zhao was indeed extraordinary. The emperor ruled a country, but he ruled the world, more so than the emperor.
Wen Yichu never achieved the achievement of overthrowing the landlord class throughout his life, but he shone in other aspects, worked for the welfare of the people, and pioneered the way for girls to go to school. He was regarded as a leader of a new era.
He has many students all over the world, and his original ideal was finally realized by his descendants thousands of years later.
He is a pearl in history and an indispensable link in the progress of the world. He is so important that if there is any deviation, the world will be destroyed in an instant.
This is all later.
During these three years, Wendao academies were established all over the country to provide education for children who could not afford to go to school; the Sheng Dynasty enacted laws to prohibit ghost marriages; the government cracked down on corruption and collusion between officials and businessmen, and rectified the atmosphere of clean government...
Things are slowly getting better.
In the third year, Rong Yu returned to Yuexi Town in the name of homesickness. The place had changed a lot. Every household had a good harvest and no longer suffered from hunger and cold. The children were reading in the Wendao Academy, and the academy was no longer a thatched hut with leaks on all sides. Ghost marriages were banned, and no one dared to violate the law blatantly. The former corrupt county magistrate had been dismissed after a strict investigation, and the new one was a good official who loved the people...
Many places have shaken off their former deadness and are now full of vitality.
Rong Yu knew that this was his last journey with Yan Zhao in this world. Three years were coming to an end, and he couldn't say goodbye even if he wanted to.
Of course he didn't miss home. He came back here just to go back to the grave with Yan Zhao and complete the unfinished wedding.
I've said I want to get married, and I can't have any regrets in this life.
It was the middle of the night when they returned to Yuexi Town. The town was very quiet and everyone was asleep. Rong Yu and Yan Zhao went directly to the tomb deep in Yuexi Mountain.
Maybe it was because Rongyu had been by his side for three years, Yan Zhao's resistance to marriage was no longer so strong. In the past three years, they had been getting along like an ordinary couple, although Rongrong always complained that he was too cold in bed... Well, anyway, he believed that Rongrong would not leave him again.
So this time, the wedding ceremony went very smoothly.
"Mortals kneel to heaven and earth, to their parents, and to their kings, but I am not like that." Rong Yu looked at him, his chin slightly raised, "I will not bow to heaven and earth, to my parents, or to my king. I only wish to bow three times with you. Yan Zhao, will you agree to marry me today?"
Yan Zhao said, "Okay."
Then they bowed to each other three times, and drank the wedding wine together.
The room they entered was still the same wedding room.
Rong Yu took out the purse containing the black hair from under the pillow and looked at it for a while: "It's just right, I can save the step of tying the hair."
Yan Zhao disagreed, "How can we skip the steps of getting married?"
"Leave a few steps here, I'll take another step." Rong Yu took Yan Zhao's hand, looked at the real gold ring on his ring finger, and took out the flaming stone that he had taken away from the previous world.
"We exchanged rings."
Yan Zhao was slightly stunned when he looked at the rings that were obviously a pair.
"What are you standing there for? Put the ring on me."
Yan Zhao came back to his senses: "...Oh."
He put the fire on Rongyu's slender ring finger and couldn't help asking, "What does exchanging rings mean?"
"It means we will be together forever." Rong Yu put the real gold on him, his eyebrows slightly curved, "It means that we will be together for a long time in the future, my lord."
Yan Zhao's breathing stagnated: "What did you call me just now?"
Rong Yu raised his head and said in a calm and generous tone: "Sir."
He smiled and said, "Aren't you my husband now?"
Yan Zhao couldn't bear it any longer and pulled Rong Yu to complete the real wedding night.
…
The next day, Rong Yu lazily said, "Show me my betrothal gifts. I haven't seen most of them yet."
Yan Zhao asked with concern: "Aren't you tired?"
Rong Yu stretched out his hand: "Then carry me."
Yan Zhao was helpless: "...Okay."
This time, Yan Zhao carried Rong Yu on his back and visited all the tombs that he had not visited before, and in the end only the main tomb was left.
Yan Zhao suddenly stopped and said, "Let's not look at that place..."
Rong Yu asked: "What?"
Yan Zhao whispered: "...Ugly, not good looking."
Rong Yu raised his eyebrows, but didn't insist: "Okay, let's go out then."
Yan Zhao didn't expect Rong Yu to be so easy to talk to all of a sudden, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Yeah."
After they left the tomb, they teleported to the town. They came back secretly last night and came out early this morning, and were discovered by the villagers.
When the villagers saw him coming back, they were very excited and surprised, and immediately told each other: "Mr. Wen is back!"
The children immediately put down their books and ran out of the academy, chirping and shouting, "Brother Wen! Brother Wen!"
Xiao Hu's mother said excitedly: "Mr. Wen must come to our house tonight. We will treat him with the best dishes. Thanks to the people-friendly policies you have implemented since you took office, every family can now afford chicken, duck and fish!"
The people all love this good official who serves the country and the people very much.
Seeing this new development, Wen Yichu's soul lamp finally lit up.
Rongyu lowered her eyes, let go of the hand that Yan Zhao was holding, rejected the enthusiastic villagers, and walked alone to a secluded place under the shade of a tree.
Yan Zhao just thought that it was inconvenient for him to be in front of others, so he didn't think much about it and followed him.
The next moment, he saw the young man's brows suddenly soften as he turned around.
Yan Zhao froze.
"... Where's he?" Yan Zhao heard himself trying to remain calm.
Wen Yichu wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. The ghost in front of him was obviously only concerned about Rongyu.
He finally apologized: "I didn't see him."
The main underground tomb chamber.
The walls of the tomb are covered with paintings, but due to the age, it is difficult to make out what is painted on them.
Rongyu finally understood why Yan Zhao refused to let him step in here.
Because Yan Zhao's body was lying in the coffin.
Dressed in black.
It's a pile of bones.
The bones were lying on the left side of the coffin, not in the center. There was an empty space for a person on the right side, as if it was prepared for him.
Rong Yu was dressed in red, standing quietly in front of the coffin, looking at the corpse, the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye becoming more charming.
He looked for a long time, stepped into the coffin, lay down beside the bones, and looked sideways at the empty eye sockets of the bones.
Have you been here, waiting for me for a thousand years
He remembered that Fu Qianzhi had imagined a future with him. They would travel the sea of stars all their lives and finally stop on a beautiful planet, where they would be buried together and sleep forever underground.
Even though we cannot sleep in the same bed in life, we will sleep in the same coffin in death.
"Are you afraid that I think you're ugly? I won't deny it." Rong Yu poked the bones, but of course he couldn't touch them, so his soul passed through them directly.
He took his hand back and stamped, "The person in the coffin is my husband."
This time, Rongyu took away the purse containing her black hair and left the Pisces jade pendant to Yan Zhao.
He saw Yan Zhao hurried into the tomb, but did not find him.
Although they are both souls, his dimension of existence is still higher than Yan Zhao in this world, so the other party cannot see him.
But he could see Yan Zhao kneeling in front of the coffin, stroking the Pisces jade pendant with red eyes, gritting his teeth and choking with sobs as he spoke every word.
"It's a lie."
"I knew it." He was silent for a while, his voice low and hoarse, like crying and laughing.
“… You lied to me again.”
The blood jade bracelet shed tears like a river. The Lord God’s words made it so sad. Woo woo woo…
The Great Demon King watched coldly and said helplessly: "Teleport."
The red light and the golden light intertwined, and two figures disappeared in the quiet tomb at the same time.
The faded painting on the wall vaguely shows the eyes and eyebrows of the couple.
The Pisces jade pendant was left unattended and fell from mid-air with a clang as it landed in the coffin.
In the world numbered 4444, Wen Yichu, the god of destiny, abolished the bad custom of ghost marriage, founded the Wendao Academy, eradicated the atmosphere of corruption, improved people's lives, and the third lamp was lit.
