The moon is bright and the autumn breeze is blowing.
The streets in the city were still brightly lit, and voices could be heard faintly.
The night at West Lake is as peaceful as ever.
Amid the rippling blue waves, the moonlight is broken into stars, and the green lotus dances lightly.
Luo Qingzhou chatted with the demon girl for a few words, then ran out of things to say. He looked at the white figure in front of him and said, "Sister Yue, should I start practicing?"
The moon-white figure glanced at the lights not far away and said calmly, "You practice on your own tonight. I can't help you."
Luo Qingzhou said: "I understand, Sister Yue is afraid of making too much noise and being discovered, right?"
The moon-white figure looked at him and nodded slightly.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the demon girl behind her again, and seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he could only ask, "Miss Long'er, do you want to watch me practice?"
The demon girl blinked her eyes and said, "Sir, aren't you going to tell a story tonight?"
Luo Qingzhou did not answer, but looked at Yuebai's figure.
The white figure paused and said, "I won't tell you."
The demon girl said with some disappointment: "Well, I will go back to practice as well."
After saying that, he jumped into the water and disappeared.
After a while.
Luo Qingzhou asked curiously: "Sister Yue, what is Miss Long'er's true identity?"
The moon-white figure said in a cold tone: "I don't know."
Luo Qingzhou looked at her strangely, said nothing more, sat down cross-legged, and began to practice in the moonlight.
A trace of moonlight power quickly gathered from all around and slowly flowed into his body.
Soul power flows within the spirit, and it feels warm and comfortable.
The moon-white figure stood on the green lotus opposite, looking at him quietly.
The night passes quietly.
It was not until the fifth watch that Luo Qingzhou slowly finished his training and opened his eyes. He could not help but praise: "Sister Yue taught me the inner strength of the soul, which is really powerful. I feel that the speed of absorbing and refining the power of the moonlight is getting faster and faster."
The Yuebai figure came back to his senses and said calmly: "It's also because of your physical condition."
Hearing this, Luo Qingzhou stood up and asked curiously, "Sister Yue, does my Thunder Spirit Body have any other benefits for cultivation?"
The white figure paused and said, "In addition to your fast cultivation speed, some of your skills can stimulate the power of thunder and lightning, which has a natural restraining effect on other spirits. And the most important point is that it will be much easier for you to survive the thunder tribulation in the future. Ordinary practitioners have only a 50% chance of surviving the thunder tribulation, and the monster race has even less, only a 30% chance, but you have at least a 70% chance. And..."
Luo Qingzhou asked: "And what?"
The white figure turned around, looked away, and said calmly: "Nothing. It's almost dawn, you should go back quickly, you have to get married today."
Luo Qingzhou looked at the sky.
The moon is still bright in the sky, and there is still some time before dawn.
He hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "Sister Yue, um, I heard from Xiaoyue before that you are... a spirit body with ice skin and jade bones, ranked in the top three, so you should be much more powerful than me, right?"
The moon-white figure looked at him quietly without saying anything.
Luo Qingzhou quickly explained: "Sister Yue, I didn't mean to ask Xiaoyue about you. That night I knew that I was a thunder spirit body, so I asked Xiaoyue, and who knew that she would tell me right away."
After a pause, he said weakly, "Sister Yue, you are not angry, right?"
The moon-white figure was silent for a while, then asked, "What else did she say?"
Luo Qingzhou hesitated, not daring to speak out, and said: "No more. By the way, Xiaoyue also said that the body and the soul can actually live separately. Is it true that when we reach a higher level in the future, the soul can be separated from the body without time or limit?"
The moon-white figure was silent for a moment, then said, "The spirit can nourish and reshape the body. When the realm is high, the body is indestructible, and the spirit can be divided to control the body. The remaining spirit can leave on its own, and it is immortal."
Luo Qingzhou asked curiously: "What realm do we need to reach? Yang Shen?"
The moon-white figure looked at him and said, "It's too early for you to ask these questions now. I don't know the details. If you really reach that level, you will live forever, and the people around you will slowly die. Can you accept it?"
Luo Qingzhou said without any hesitation, "I would rather grow old and die with the people around me. What's the point of wandering alone in the world forever?"
The moon-white figure was silent for a moment, then said, "Maybe there will be other worlds waiting for you. Maybe the new world will be more exciting."
Luo Qingzhou suddenly looked at her and said, "Sister Yue, when you ask me these questions, I feel like you are asking yourself."
The moon-white figure fell silent.
Luo Qingzhou said slowly: "Everyone wants to be immortal, but we are still human beings, still living among ordinary people. I think we should not think so far ahead. Isn't it better to cherish the present and look forward to tomorrow? Why should we give up our present life just for tomorrow?"
"Sister Yue is preparing for the future now. Don't you think that you are wasting your good time now? Life is only a few short decades long. Why not live it to the fullest and then think about the future?"
“Maybe there will be a way out when you get to the mountain, or maybe there is no way out at all. Why not go slower, take in more of the scenery along the way, spend more time with the people around you, and make yourself happier on the road?”
"Sister Yue, no matter how talented you are, you're not 100% sure you can get there, right?"
The moon-white figure looked at him quietly for a while, and said lightly: "You are so long-winded today."
Luo Qingzhou: “…”
"Go back quickly and prepare to get married."
The moon-white figure looked away, his expression still as cold as the moon.
Luo Qingzhou looked at the sky, said nothing more, and bowed to say goodbye: "Sister Yue, I will come back in two nights, maybe tomorrow night will be fine."
The moon-white figure didn't say anything else.
Luo Qingzhou flew into the air and soon disappeared.
After a moment.
The demon girl in a black dress appeared silently on the lotus leaf where he had just stood and said, "Sister, I think what he said makes sense. Although we are practicing hard now, no one knows whether we can make it there. I almost turned into ashes in the last thunder tribulation. So I figured it out. In addition to continuing to practice, I also have to enjoy my current life. Otherwise, I will suddenly die, but I have not enjoyed anything except practicing for my whole life. Isn’t it a pity?"
The Yuebai figure did not answer, and disappeared in a flash.
Luo Qingzhou returned to his mansion, regained consciousness, and soon fell asleep.
He slept until noon, and no one came to call him.
In the small courtyard, Xiaodie was talking to Qiuer in a low voice.
Luo Qingzhou lay on the bed in a daze for a while, then got up, dressed, and walked to the window to eavesdrop.
"Xiao Die, there's no need to call your uncle. Let him have a good rest. It won't start until the evening anyway."
"Sister Qiu'er, both princesses are here. Princess Xueyi has come twice just now."
"What did Princess Xue Yi say?"
"She said she wanted to talk to you, Master, and wanted to change the ending of some book."
"That won't do. Today is the wedding day of Master and Miss. Before the wedding, Master cannot meet and chat with other women casually."
"Squeak..."
When the two were talking in low voices in the courtyard, Luo Qingzhou suddenly opened the window and said, "Qiu'er is right. We must abide by the rules. Qiu'er, Xiaodie, the two of you keep an eye on the gate. No one is allowed in before the wedding with the Second Miss tonight. Do you hear me?"
The two little girls were stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Oh."
Xiaodie hurried to fetch some water and helped him wash up.
Qiu'er went to the kitchen and brought lunch and served him.
Luo Qingzhou ate his meal while looking at them and asked, "Didn't the other princess come to see me?"
Xiaodie was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and said, "Sir, are you talking about Princess Meijiao? She is not here yet."
Luo Qingzhou was secretly confused.
That girl won't give up, will she? She won't keep it to herself, will she
It doesn't matter.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
He wasn't afraid of her.
What's more, today is his big day, the other party will definitely not do anything out of line.
"By the way, have you called the young lady?"
Luo Qingzhou asked.
Qiu'er said softly, "This servant went to see the young lady this morning and just now. According to the rules, the young lady has to comb the young lady's hair, put on a headdress and jewelry, and help the young lady decorate the wedding room. However, Sister Bailing said that the young lady is not feeling well today and said she will come back later."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, quickly finished his meal, rinsed his mouth, stood up and said, "I'll go see the young lady."
Xiaodie quickly pulled his sleeve and said, "Master, you can't go. Today is the day you and the second young lady are getting married, and the eldest young lady is... is yours... anyway, it's not appropriate."
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment and stopped where he was.
Qiu'er glanced at him and said quickly, "Xiaodie, it's okay. The young lady won't mind, and the lady won't mind either. Let the son-in-law go. The young lady is not feeling well, and she can't go out now. The son-in-law can only go to visit her on her behalf. It's okay."
Xiaodie let go of her hand only after hearing her say this.
Luo Qingzhou said: "I'll just take a look, don't worry, I can ask Bailing, I won't go into the eldest lady's room."
Qiu Er nodded and said, "Go quickly, uncle."
Only then did Luo Qingzhou go out.
"Sister Qiu'er, I think..."
Xiaodie watched her master hurriedly leave, hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "The master is very concerned about the young lady. He often visits her during this period of time."
She knew she shouldn't say those words today, but she just couldn't help it.
She thought the eldest lady was very nice, really very nice.
Of course, the second young lady is also very good.
If you can…
Unfortunately, the young master was married into the family and his family background was not very good, so she dared not think about it.
“It should be.”
Qiu Er didn't care at all: "After all, the uncle and the eldest lady were a real married couple. The uncle cares about the eldest lady, and no one has the right... No one will say anything."
Xiaodie looked at her, feeling that there was something else behind her words.
After a while, she sighed again and said, "It's a pity that the young master can't marry the second young lady in a lively manner. He doesn't even have relatives and friends."
Qiu'er glanced at her without saying anything, thinking to herself: Because this is the rule.
Lingchan Moon Palace.
A lark was wearing a pink dress and dancing gracefully in the front yard. A little bird landed on the back of her hand and danced with her.
"Bird, bird, tell me, why is my son-in-law so lucky? He is so stupid, so dumb, and so bad, why does everyone like him? Except me."
"Chichi, chichi!"
"Huh? Are you saying that because he's stupid, dumb, and bad, he has such good luck?"
"Chichi! Chichi!"
"Oh, bird, bird, I finally understand. You mean, it's mainly because my brother-in-law has tasted my saliva that he is so lucky, right?"
The bird stopped chirping.
Bai Ling pinched its mouth and waited for a while. Seeing that it did not object, he raised his hand and threw it out.
“Bang! Bang!”
Someone is knocking on the door.
A familiar smell drifted in from the crack in the door.
If it’s not that bad son-in-law, then who else could it be
Bai Ling waited for a while, then put away the fragrance of the flowers and went to open the door.
The moment the gate opened, she showed an unhappy expression on her face: "Congratulations, son-in-law, on getting married today. Son-in-law is so busy today, how can you have time to visit my humble home?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at the expression on her face and said, "I'm looking for the eldest lady."
"My lady..."
"Lark."
She was about to speak when Luo Qingzhou interrupted her and said, "The second young lady is waiting in the room."
Bai Ling glanced at him, pouted her lips, and said, "The young lady has just passed away. Son-in-law, you should have let someone else call her, not yourself."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment, said nothing more, and prepared to leave.
Bai Ling suddenly asked again: "Son-in-law, are we a family?"
Luo Qingzhou was slightly startled when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Of course."
Bailing suddenly smiled, revealing two cute dimples on her face, and said, "Then I feel relieved. I was afraid that the son-in-law would ignore us after he got pregnant with the second daughter. Chanchan didn't sleep all night last night, she must be worried too."
Luo Qingzhou looked towards the courtyard: "Where is Chanchan?"
Bai Ling smiled and said, "She went to the second young lady's place with the young lady. The young lady asked her to help the second young lady comb her hair."
