It's late at night.
The lights in the distance flickered, like an elusive sea of stars.
The guests who came to attend the wedding banquet have gradually dispersed, and the wolf officers who have been busy all day have slowly gone back to rest. The wedding lanterns are still on, but the Wolf Palace, which has been noisy all day, has gradually quieted down.
It's time to rest.
Xue Xin and Chang Yun had also returned to the resting room in the Wolf Palace, but she didn't want to sleep yet, so she walked out of the fairy palace that was warmed by the fire.
Outside the house is a quiet night sky and endless white snow.
It has been a while since Xueli and Zilan returned to the house. I wonder if they have had a good rest now and whether they are getting along well.
Xue Li was Xue Xin's lost and regained treasure, so she naturally took great care of her and wished she could hold her in her hands forever. Even at this time, she found it difficult to let go completely.
At this time, Lord Changyun walked out of the house.
He held two small wine cups in his hands, handed one to Xue Xin, and asked with concern: "Aren't you going to rest yet?"
Xue Xin took the wine cup, but shook her head at Chang Yun Shen Jun's words and replied, "I'm still worried about Xue Li. I don't know how she is now, and I'm really worried."
Lord Changyun understood Xue Xin's thoughts. He felt reluctant, worried, and had many emotions about his daughter's marriage.
But Xueli has grown up after all, and as parents, all they can do now is to quietly guard her in their own place.
Chang Yun smiled at Xue Xin, trying to comfort her, and changed the subject: "When we got married, were you also so uneasy?"
Xue Xin recalled that she also laughed at that time and joked, "It seems not as good as it is now."
At that time, she was not only getting married, but also leaving Snow Lotus Peak for the first time. Lord Changyun found a way to allow her to live a normal life in the Fox Realm. Although she still had to keep a low profile, it was much better than hiding her identity in the past.
In this case, her situation at that time was probably more terrifying.
But in Xue Xin's heart, she was actually more concerned about Xue Li's situation at this moment.
However, when Xue Xin heard Lord Changyun mention the past, she thought about her own situation and then about Xue Li, and she felt relieved. Xue Li was a very smart child, and she thought she would be able to handle it.
Changyun Divine Lord felt relieved when he saw Xue Xin smile, and he gently comforted her, "Don't worry about the child all the time. You haven't had much rest today, so it's time for you to take a break."
Just at this moment, a strong cold wind blew towards her, forcing Xue Xin to turn her head and lift her hair to avoid it. The wind blew away the snow that had fallen from the trees, and all over the ground.
Seeing this, Changyun hurriedly took off his cloak and wrapped Xue Xin in it.
He said, "It's late at night and it's cold outside, so let's go inside."
"okay."
Feeling Changyun's body temperature left on his cloak, Xue Xin turned around and smiled at him, then lowered her head and went back into the house.
The two walked into the house hand in hand.
… The night is long.
The night was long.
The next day, the sky was already bright and clear light filtered through the window.
Zi Lan opened his eyes on the bed and found that he woke up later than usual. After adjusting himself, he lowered his head to look at his arms.
Xue Li was sleeping in his arms in a daze, her head nestled on his chest, most of her body curled up in the quilt, looking lazy. From Zi Lan's perspective, he could see her delicate collarbone and fair skin.
Xueli hasn't woken up yet.
They were newlyweds and spent half the night together until dawn before they fell asleep. It was normal for Xueli to feel sleepy.
Zi Lan looked at her snuggling in his arms, his throat rolled slightly, he lowered his head, buried his face in the quilt, and gently kissed her forehead and nose.
Xue Li was harassed in her sleep. She frowned and made a few nasal "hmm" sounds like a spoiled child. Then she moved around in the quilt a few times and successfully woke Zi Lan up.
She opened her eyes hazily, her body still feeling dull and a little lazy.
She woke up with a groan, but was not fully awake yet. She noticed that Zi Lan was so close to her, so she stretched her body like a kitten, hooked her arms around his neck, kissed him twice on the chin, and then called out, "Husband..."
Zi Lan's heart skipped a beat when she shouted at him.
But he had only intended to give Xueli two gentle kisses and had no intention of waking her up. Seeing that Xueli was accidentally woken up by him, he couldn't help feeling guilty and pricked up his ears a little nervously.
After a long while, Zi Lan responded gently in a deliberately low voice: "Hmm?"
Xueli asked, "Is it time to get up?"
Zi Lan replied: "Not yet."
Xueli said: "Then I will continue to sleep."
As she spoke, Xue Li arched her back into the quilt and rubbed herself against Zi Lan's chest before she fell asleep, soon emitting long breathing sounds.
Zi Lan couldn't help but lower his head again, smell the fragrance of her hair, and then kissed her on the forehead.
This time Xueli didn't wake up.
He stared at Xueli's sleeping face intently for a while, then he held her in his arms and closed his eyes peacefully.
This was only the first day of their marriage, so they could rest for a while without being disturbed.
Although it was dawn outside, it was still as quiet as last night.
The two of them slept in each other's arms for most of the day.
From today on, the two of them are husband and wife.
After waking up, Xueli saw the snow all over the ground outside and wanted to go out and play. She was in a good mood.
Zi Lan naturally followed her, besides, Zi Lan herself also liked snow very much.
Xue Li turned into a little white fox, ran out happily, buried her head in the snow, and rolled around in joy.
Zi Lan also turned into a snow wolf and followed slowly behind, watching Xue Li playing in the snow.
Xue Li excitedly threw herself on him, trying to knock Zi Lan down.
Zi Lan cooperated and fell down, letting Xue Li roll onto him.
Xueli wagged her fox tail hard, patted him with her paw, and played with Zilan.
The two little white balls rolled around and played together, and then somehow Zi Lan turned sideways and held Xueli in his arms. He half-buried his body and turned his head to lick the little fox, patiently and carefully licking Xueli from ears to tail.
Xue Li cried "wuwuwu" because of being licked, and as if in revenge she licked Lan's wolf ears hard, then patted his head, and out of fear of the crime she swiftly got out and ran away!
Zi Lan quickly got up and chased after her.
The two started chasing each other again.
When the wolf officers of the Wolf Palace heard the noise and came to see them, Zi Lan and Xue Li had already passed the craziest time of playing and were now rolling snowballs on the snow.
When the wolf officer went in and saw them, Xue Li rolled a snowball almost as big as herself, and Zi Lan rolled a particularly big one.
Seeing this, the wolf officer smiled and called out, "Young Master, Young Master's Wife!"
Xue Li and Zi Lan pushed the snowball together and looked back at him.
The wolf officer's mouth widened, but he still tried to stay calm. He said, "My Lord Wolf King and Queen, as well as Fairy Shaoyin, Fairy Xuexin, and Lord Changyun all want to see you."
"Oh, we know."
Xueli responded, put down the snowball, and said, "We'll be there soon."
As she spoke, Xue Li turned around and looked at Zi Lan.
Zi Lan naturally understood what she meant.
The two of them transformed into human form and walked towards the immortal palace where their elders were.
Along the way, the two met many wolf officers and young wolf disciples who came to practice.
When everyone saw the two of them coming out side by side, they all smiled very friendly and greeted them, "Young Master, Young Master's Wife!"
"Young Master, Young Master's Wife!"
"Greetings, Young Master, Young Master's Wife! Happy marriage!"
Xue Li responded shyly and friendly at first, but later she found that the number of people who came to greet her and Zi Lan was inexplicably much more than usual, and the frequency of the phrase "Young Master's Madam" appeared unexpectedly high. She gradually realized that many people came to see them on purpose, and it was both a greeting and a teasing intention.
Sydney couldn't help feeling embarrassed.
Zi Lan was obviously a little shy, but he tried his best to appear calm. He held Xue Li's hand tightly all the way and nodded to everyone who came over to say hello.
Seeing this, Xue Li thought that she would have to get used to it in the future, so she calmed down and responded calmly.
The two of them greeted each other and walked all the way to the fairy palace.
The elders had already sat in a circle and were waiting for them inside the house.
Facing the inquiring looks from the elders, Xue Li suddenly felt embarrassed and a little shy.
But Aunt Shaoyin took the initiative to wave at her and said, "Come here, let us take a look."
When Xueli sat down between Shaoyin and Xuexin, her aunt and mother took turns touching her head.
Fairy Shaoyin asked with concern: "You two are newlyweds, are you doing well?"
Xueli felt that her aunt's words were suggestive and she twitched her red ears shyly.
Xueli replied vaguely: "It's fine."
While Xue Li was talking, Fairy Xue Xin was also observing Xue Li's expression. She saw that Xue Li's face was rosy and her eyes were bright. Although she probably went to bed late, she seemed to be more energetic than usual. When her daughter and Zi Lan looked at each other, the two looked very sweet. Xue Xin finally felt relieved.
Xueli and Zilan have been together for a long time and are very familiar with each other. Even though they moved in together, they didn't feel uncomfortable. However, they were newlyweds after all, so they became closer than before and were very close to each other. When they sat in front of their elders, they were both a little restrained.
Fortunately, the elders knew their intentions and did not talk to them for too long or joke with them too much. They just kept them for dinner and then let the young couple go back.
When Xue Li returned to the house, she was skipping and jumping with a brisk pace. She was obviously in a good mood.
Zi Lan held Xue Li's hand and looked down at her unnoticeably all the way, wanting to take in every move of Xue Li.
But when he was about to return to the house, he found that Xueli's hands were getting colder and colder. Although he had been holding them, he failed to warm them up.
Zi Lan paused, looked at her carefully with concern, and finally found that Xue Li's shoes had become darker in color. She had been jumping in the snow for a long time today, and when she came back, she was in such a good mood that she also jumped all the way in the snow. It seemed that her shoes were wet.
Zi Lan frowned slightly, and seeing that they were not far from the Immortal Palace, he immediately picked up Xue Li.
"Hmm? What do you do?"
Xue Li was walking happily, but was suddenly picked up by Zi Lan. She was startled and hugged his shoulders in panic.
Zi Lan carried her back to the room without saying anything, put her on the bed, let her sit, then half-knelt down and touched her shoes.
Xue Li subconsciously shrank back, but Zi Lan had already caught her feet.
When he touched her shoes, they were indeed icy cold and damp.
Xue Li felt embarrassed when she saw Zi Lan touching her shoes and actually paying attention to this.
She explained: "It's okay, it's just that the opening of these shoes is shallow, and I accidentally let snow get in when I came back. They weren't wet for long, I just need to change a pair of shoes and socks."
As she said this, she retracted her feet and went to take off her shoes.
But Zi Lan's strength was strong enough that her foot didn't twitch when she pulled it.
Zi Lan paused and simply took off her shoes and socks for her.
