Wan Ruo changed from her usual dark and cold robe today and put on a pure white short double-breasted jacket. Below is a sky blue pleated long skirt. The waist of the skirt is lighter in color and becomes darker as it goes down. It is dignified. Some lightness.
She had a double bun on her head, and the bottom of the bun was decorated with pearls and jade to look elegant. A sky-blue streamer was folded in half on the back of her head. The breeze blew the two ribbons and flew up, showing a bit of playfulness in her stability.
Rouge was smeared on her cheeks, her thick eyebrows had been trimmed to become slender, and her red lips and white teeth concealed a valiant and heroic spirit. She looked like a young girl in her twenties.
Gu Shengchao's eyes widened, as if he was meeting Wanruo for the first time. Sister Yun couldn't help but praise: "Ye Meiwang is so beautiful today."
The owner of the valley sat down among them, and everyone sat down on both sides.
"This young hero Gu, do you still remember the agreement we made yesterday?" The Valley Master asked straight to the point.
"Remember." Gu Shengchao replied.
"You will never regret it?" the Valley Master asked with a smile.
Gu Shengchao was shocked. He realized that things were not as simple as he thought, but what he said yesterday had already reached that point. If he wanted to repent, he would show himself to be a treacherous person. He nodded and replied: "I will never regret it!"
"Okay!" The owner of the valley slapped his thigh hard and said, "Wan Ruo, come and tell him."
Wan Ruo'ang began to say decisively: "I, Wan Ruo, are willing to marry Gu Shengchao as his wife and assist him in his important task of acting as the king of evil spirits."
"Okay!" Everyone cheered.
However, Gu Shengchao's eyes turned black, countless stars were twinkling, his ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear any sound. He originally wanted to make fun of the other person, but he didn't expect that he would be the one being made fun of in the end. He was really doing his own thing.
He wanted to cry, he wanted to laugh, he pinched himself hard, the severe pain made him wake up, and everyone was looking at him with smiles, waiting for his answer.
"me……"
The ancient sage was speechless for a moment. He looked around at everyone, especially when he looked at Wanruo, and found that this woman today not only had a violent side, but also had a soft and elegant appearance. He couldn't help but be moved, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
Men are inherently visual animals, and some key decisions often depend on the impulses of the lower body. This is probably what the so-called "food and sex" means.
Gu Shengchao looked at Wanruo's stunning face today, and the unbearable bullying he had suffered at him on the way back to the Four Kings Valley was wiped away. He made up his mind and said: "I am willing."
"good!"
The hall was boiling with excitement again, and some people jumped up, feeling lucky and happy that a master like Gu Shengchao could stay.
The most important matter has been resolved, and the only thing left is to discuss the wedding of the two. The lean elder named Chen Bo suddenly remembered something and said: "Although this ancient young hero's martial arts comes from our Four Kings Valley, it seems that he has not officially joined our clan. Door!"
Sister Yun took over the topic and said: "It doesn't matter. Tomorrow night a group of children will hold a coming-of-age ceremony, and Gu Shaoxia happens to be attending. From now on, he will be a member of our Four Kings Valley."
Uncle Chen and a few others looked through the almanac and found that five days later would be an auspicious day, and they chose that day to get married.
Wanruo is still the decisive and decisive Night Demon King at this moment, and her shy look is no different from that of an ordinary bride to be married. The Ancient Sage likes her more and more when he sees her.
After everyone discussed it, they talked about other things in the sect, and finally Sister Yun personally sent Gu Shengchao back to the inn. The two sat down and drank a pot of tea. Several women came in, most of them were elderly.
Gu Shengchao was puzzled. Sister Yun introduced: "These are the weavers with the best craftsmanship in our Four Kings Valley. They have measured the sizes and will make wedding dresses for you and King Ye Mei overnight." Gu Shengchao suddenly realized. , quickly stood up and asked them to use a ruler to mark their bodies.
"You are not allowed to run around these days. If anything happens, I will come to you. Don't make any mistakes before the wedding." After Sister Yun settled down, she left with Mother Weaver and was busy organizing other wedding matters.
Gu Shengchao has wasted a lot of time recently and took this leisurely time to practice his martial arts. He wished he could do this every day. The Five Soul Formation taught to him by Lu Chuan is extremely powerful. He should be cautious when practicing elsewhere for fear of being seen by others and causing misunderstanding. But it is different here. He can practice openly under trees and by the river.
Apart from eating and sleeping, he spent the rest of his time practicing hard. He didn't know that while he was studying hard, a woman was peeking at him from a distance on the hilltop on the other side, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Wan Ruo, you're still watching!" Wan Ruo was taking a peek and didn't pay attention to someone approaching. The voice should be the owner of the valley.
Wan Ruo turned around, fearing that the Ancient Saint Chao on the other side would hear her, she whispered: "Back to the Valley Master, I just want to see if this person is worthy of my trust for life." After she finished speaking, she was shy and blushed on her cheeks.
"How?" the Valley Master asked with a smile.
Wan Ruo said softly: "That night, the Valley Master enlightened me and asked me to sacrifice myself for the future of the sect. I just reluctantly agreed. If he becomes a prodigal son, I will immediately regret the marriage. Now it seems that I have worried too much about this person. I study hard and practice hard and never get lazy, which suits me quite well.”
"Also, I am getting older, and many sisters my age have already raised grandchildren. If I continue to be picky, I will be doomed to die alone, and I am not willing to accept it. On the way back, I was afraid that he would run away and tied him up tightly, eating, drinking, and eating. I take care of Sadhu alone. I have seen all the places he shouldn't have looked at, and I have touched the parts he shouldn't have touched. I have already thought about it. If this kid can't be used by me in the Four Kings Valley, I will try my best to kill him. If I let him talk nonsense in the world, I will lose face and let people make fun of me." Wanruo told another reason.
Wan Ruo looked at Gu Shengchao's figure from a distance and said firmly: "However, I will not indulge this boy after we get married. Only when he meets my requirements can I do what he wants."
The Valley Master suppressed his joy and laughed, and whispered: "At that time, it will be your business, and none of us can get involved."
He said calmly: "Lu Chuan did not accept this person as his disciple. I was still a little depressed at the time, but now it seems that it is a good thing."
"Why?" Wan Ruo asked casually as he noticed the ancient sage's super strong figure with his big eyes.
The Valley Master whispered: "Think about it, you and Lu Chuan are of the same generation. If this boy really takes Lu Chuan as his disciple, he will become your nephew. If you mess up the seniority, it will make others laugh."
Wan Ruo's pink face immediately turned red. The Valley Master avoided embarrassment and said hastily: "You have to watch me go back first." After all, Wan Ruo is a thin-skinned bride. After hearing what the Valley Master said, how could she still have the courage to continue stealing? Look, he quickly left with the Valley Master.
At midnight, Gu Shengchao was practicing alone in the guest room. Sister Yun knocked on the door: "Are you asleep? Get up quickly."
Gu Shengchao opened the door and said, "Sister Yun is here. Please come inside. I'm not asleep yet."
Sister Yun stood outside the door and urged: "I won't go in. You will go with me to attend the ceremony immediately. After tonight, you will officially become a member of our Four Kings Valley."
On the way back to the Four Kings Valley, Gu Shengchao once heard Wu Jun and Yu Ji talking about the coming-of-age ceremony. It seemed quite mysterious, and he wanted to find out.
The two walked down the mountain and waited for a while by a river. More people gathered. Sister Yun met with the leaders of each team. After confirming that everyone was present, everyone went upstream together. Gu Shengchao noticed that all the handsome men and beautiful women were excitedly looking forward to the moment when they would become adults. Most of their parents were also accompanying them to witness this beautiful moment. There were more than three times as many adults as children, indicating that not only parents, Relevant relatives and friends are also invited.
The river is at the bottom of the canyon, with towering mountains on both sides. The team can only line up and follow each other. Most of the people hold torches, and the firelight is swaying in the river, like fluorescent fish. The child is swimming in the water.
After everyone walked for about two minutes, a huge flat rock appeared in front of them. A bonfire had been lit on the rock. There were many tables and chairs placed near the water. There were wine bowls on the table and wine jars under the table. People could go there to rest and drink.
At the end of the river, there is a narrow gap. Above the gap, about three stories high, a clear spring gushes out and flows into the shallows below. Above the clear spring are the three characters "Saint King Valley", which are deeply engraved on the cliff and painted with vermilion paint.
All the adults consciously walked to the tables and chairs by the water to find a place to sit down and rest. Only Sister Yun was left to direct the boys and girls participating in the ceremony, "Everyone take off your clothes and go to the spring to bathe one by one. In the middle of the night When the water is cold, you can pick up the water and splash it on your body while walking to get used to it.”
It didn't matter that Gu Shengchao was older and had a lot of experience. He took off his clothes in a few steps and took the lead towards Feiquan. It was really cold when he stepped barefoot into the shallows, so he followed Sister Yun's method of pouring water on his body with both hands. When he reached the bottom of the spring, the water spurted onto his skin. Even though he was mentally prepared, the biting coldness still made him shudder involuntarily. Chills. Gu Shengchao scrubbed his skin vigorously, and then he felt a little better. He washed his body carefully from top to bottom, and left the spring to warm himself by the campfire.
Some little girls were shy and couldn't let go in front of everyone, and they couldn't do it for a long time, so Sister Yun had to help them strip off their clothes one by one. The boys were strong, and most of them could finish washing under the spring even if they were shivering from the cold. A few men couldn't bear it and ran out as soon as they arrived at the spring, so they had to put their arms and legs in and simply rinse, which was ridiculed by everyone. Women are weak and not many can persist to complete the cleaning, but these few women are appreciated by everyone and gain more attention.
After everyone had finished cleaning, they joined hands and sang and danced around the bonfire. The ancient sage, who didn't understand the music, sang along. Singing and dancing, the coldness brought by the spring water was gone, and everyone became hot. I don't know if it was the warmth of the bonfire or the fiery atmosphere of the scene. After the singing and dancing, free activities began. Several girls wanted to find clothes to wear, but Sister Yun stopped them: "No, you have to wait until dawn before you can wear clothes."
The boys and girls who could not bear the cold had no choice but to continue dancing by the campfire, singing and dancing to resist the cold night wind and the oppressive moisture in the deep valley.
People attending the coming-of-age ceremony kept dancing, while the adults sitting far away pointed and commented, as if they were choosing their future daughter-in-law or son-in-law.
As time goes by, adults continue to come over and tell their children something, and then the children will make friends with the opposite sex they recognize according to the wishes of the adults. If both parties happen to agree, they will dance and no longer participate in group activities.
What's more, he couldn't resist the urge of hormones and started to make trouble directly by the campfire in front of everyone and the parents of both parties. Instead of feeling ashamed, everyone cheered, sang and danced around them and blessed them.
Gu Shengchao remembered Wan Ruo's experience at the coming-of-age ceremony, so he paid attention to those around him. Sure enough, those with little body hair were treated coldly. He quickly lowered his head to check. Fortunately, it was just right, not too much or too little, so he felt relieved. Otherwise, if Wan Ruo would laugh at him, he would be left unwanted.
While he was thinking wildly, a graceful woman came to him, posing in an extremely seductive way.
The Ancient Sage was extremely embarrassed. Whose child was this? Aren't they afraid that their Night Demon King would be jealous and deal with them?
He moved to the side, and the woman danced and walked, still entangled with him.
