Chapter 194 Marriage
Chapter 194 Marriage
The courtyard was filled with festive decorations: the "double happiness" characters hung on the doors and windows, red silk wrapped around the chairs, and a long red carpet.
The wedding dress was still on the bedside table by Wen Li's bed. Moonlight streamed into the room from the window, and Wen Li's bright eyes darted around as she looked around. Even though she had been sleeping in this room for several days, everything she saw still felt new and exciting.
The thought that she wouldn't be sleeping alone tomorrow kept her tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
They're getting married tomorrow. Will everything go smoothly? Will any humans or demons come to cause trouble? Will they live here permanently after the wedding?
Will they have children?
Wen Li thought about it and couldn't imagine them having a child. She always felt that she couldn't bear that responsibility.
Whether it's the imperial court or the demon race, their search for her is quite a big commotion. Wen Li isn't afraid of them coming after her; she can simply disguise herself or cast an illusion, and not many people can see through it.
If you really see through it, you can just go to another place.
But Si Xiaxia is right; the outside world will descend into chaos in a few years. She's seen it firsthand: humans and demons live together, the land is uncultivated, and wars are fought daily.
Of all the people in this world today... how many will survive... and how many will be happy?
If they have children, how can they ensure that those children grow up happily in this world?
Furthermore, Shen Yingsi is the protagonist, the savior chosen by Heaven. Can she really keep him by her side?
Wen Li lay in bed unable to fall asleep, her mind a jumble of thoughts. She decided to get out of bed and lean against the window.
The moonlight was really bright tonight, illuminating everything clearly. Wen Li spotted Shen Yingsi sitting by the fire at a glance.
He must have been nervous too.
The firelight flickered, and Wen Li could vaguely see Shen Yingsi throwing something into the fire.
She observed it carefully, and it took her a long time to confirm that it looked like a bandage stained with blood.
How could there be blood?
Is it demonic poison?
Shen Yingsi turned around, and Wen Li immediately squatted down, the image of Shen Yingsi covered in blood clearly appearing in her mind.
This scene dampened her joy.
She began to reflect on herself again, wondering if she had been too selfish, having been immersed in her own pain these past few days while ignoring the fact that Shen Yingsi was also suffering a lot.
Much suffering was caused by her.
Wen Li could clearly feel his love, his kindness, and his selfless dedication.
But she loved him very much, she wanted to be good to him, and she wanted to give him so much more...
But now she feels like she can't do anything. She's always blaming herself, always doubting herself, always afraid. She can't give him anything; instead, she needs his encouragement, comfort, and his hug...
Wen Li felt this was unfair...
She quietly stood up, her gaze falling on the unpaved ground in the courtyard, on the low wood-burning stove that seemed so out of place on him, and on the coarse linen clothes he was wearing...
Why does Shen Yingsi like her? She has caused him so much pain.
How long will his feelings last?
Is she really worth his affection?
Wen Li had always been a very confident person, but not anymore. In the past, she wouldn't have worried about these things, but now she couldn't be decisive about them. A feeling of inadequacy inexplicably surfaced within her, and she worried about bringing him misfortune.
Wen Li opened her palm, and flower rain appeared out of thin air in her hand. The flower rain followed her and she could not get rid of it.
She has already brought disaster to many people, and Shen Yingsi is staying by her side...
Amidst Wen Li's anxieties, the wedding took place as scheduled.
On the last day of March, before dawn, Wen Li allowed a group of women to pull her out of bed.
"So pretty, look at her little face."
"That's right, Xunzhi is the bride today!"
"No bride is this beautiful! Hahaha..."
Inside the bridal chamber, a group of women, all with smiles on their faces, were dressing up the bride with laughter and offering their warm and sincere blessings. And what about the bride?
Washing up, getting dressed, and grooming... Wen Li didn't feel the joy she had imagined; instead, she felt a vague sense of unease. She had a feeling that something unexpected was about to happen at any moment.
Only when the red veil fell on her head, and when that long, strong hand appeared beneath it, did she finally feel a sense of reality.
She really is going to get married.
Seeing that Wen Li didn't grab his hand for a while, Shen Yingsi asked softly, "Are you nervous?"
Light shone through the veil onto Wen Li's porcelain-white face, tinging it with a few blushes.
She whispered, "I'm only a little nervous."
Hearing his soft chuckle, Shen Yingsi said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen today."
Wen Li placed her hand in his palm, and her heart finally calmed down a bit. Shen Yingsi held on tightly, and he led her step by step out of the room.
Wen Li was unusually well-behaved and quiet today. He kept an eye on the sounds coming from inside the room, and although the teasing noises inside never stopped, he couldn't catch a single sound from Wen Li.
Shen Yingsi was worried that someone had contacted her, after all, he had dealt with quite a few people these days.
Getting married is a big deal.
For this day, Shen Yingsi made a special trip to a temple eighty kilometers away to ask a renowned master for an auspicious date.
This marriage was hard-won, and he hoped that God would grant them a little blessing, just a tiny bit.
He was now 100% certain of Wen Li's feelings; she valued and looked forward to their marriage just as much as he did.
They jointly commissioned the best tailor in town to make the wedding attire, and they personally delivered invitations to each guest. Every dish at the wedding banquet was carefully selected and confirmed by both of them to suit each other's tastes…
Together they planned their wedding day, discussed future plans, and imagined their life together.
Having gone through all of this together, he wouldn't allow her to back down even a step.
He took her hand and led her into the wedding hall.
In the wedding hall, the guests were all kind-hearted villagers from the surrounding area who sincerely wished them well. A large "double happiness" character was pasted on the wall, along with two red candles and red lanterns hanging everywhere, all revealing the host's meticulous care.
The second master, who was squatting to the side, had changed into a festive red outfit. He stared at them with his dark eyes and his tail kept wagging behind him.
"The auspicious time has arrived, the newlyweds are in place."
The wedding hall fell silent at the call of the matchmaker.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
Wen Li and Shen Yingsi turned around, faced the sky, and kowtowed three times.
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
He kowtowed three times to the empty seat of honor.
"Couple greetings!"
As she bowed for the last time, Wen Li nervously counted in her mind, one, two, three...
"It's done!"
There were no unexpected twists and turns, no uninvited guests, and everyone around them was celebrating.
"it is good!"
Everyone shouted "Good!" with joy on their faces, and cheers filled the air.
"What a perfect couple! They're sure to be happy."
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Shen, may your love last forever!"
"May we grow old together!"
"You all still have a house full of children and grandchildren, hahaha..."
Wen Li finally showed her first smile of the day; it was good that nothing happened today.
