Chapter 608: The Bridal Chamber Ceremony

"This is indeed a problem, why don’t we go in the morning?"

Yun Chan looked up at Yang Cheng.

"How long will it take to collect the Purifying Spirit Spring?"

"I want to collect more this time, it might take half an hour."

Yun Chan thought that since they were already venturing up the mountain, they might as well collect more Purifying Spirit Spring; otherwise, they’d have to risk going out again.

"Half an hour is too long. If we go during the day, there’s a good chance that old thing will find us. Going up the mountain at midnight, he might relax his guard."

Yang Cheng furrowed his brow. He could go on an adventure alone, and even if he encountered Lai Zhongyao, he could use the Snake Shedding Skill to escape.

But that old thing ate the big loss last time and wouldn’t be careless again. If he catches Yun Chan, he will surely control her to threaten him.

"What should we do then? We can’t delay the Enlightenment for Yue Ying. She’s already an orphan girl; if the Enlightenment doesn’t go smoothly, she will be looked down upon by her husband’s family."

Yun Chan was genuinely worried, she truly felt for Yue Ying.

"Actually, Yue Ying just told me that tonight she doesn’t want anyone to make noise during the wedding; as long as the villagers are gone, I can sneak out quietly from the room."

"If no one discovers I left, then naturally no one will look down on Yue Ying."

Yang Cheng always thought this custom was a bit odd. As long as the Enlightenment is completed, what’s the harm of leaving in the middle?

And now, Ni Qingyao’s situation cannot do without the Purifying Spirit Spring; regardless, the two must go up the mountain.

"You’re making sense, but wouldn’t Yue Ying be upset?"

Yun Chan was still a bit hesitant.

"I’ll coax her to sleep before I come out. We’ll go quickly and return, she won’t know."

The Enlightenment is a big day for the bride; Yang Cheng couldn’t bear to let Yue Ying be sad.

"Then I’ll explain clearly to Auntie Pang and the others that no one is allowed to disturb you tonight. Once Yue Ying is asleep, come to me immediately."

Yun Chan’s cheeks were a bit flushed, feeling guilty towards Yue Ying.

...

After dinner, the villagers gathered at Da Shan’s House.

Yang Cheng worked swiftly, expertly performing acupuncture on the group, and quickly sent them off.

"Brother Cen, this is the soup my mom made for you, you should drink it."

At this time, Da Shan came over with a large bowl of soup.

Yang Cheng looked down with a face full of helplessness, "Didn’t I say not to make such nourishing ingredients for me? I don’t need to drink them."

This was already his sixth Enlightenment, and although his strength was evident, Da Shan’s parents were still worried he’d be drained, affecting his performance tonight.

"Little Divine Doctor, I see you’ve been busy day and night recently; it’s really exhausting, so take a little."

Nanny Dashan advised.

After all, it’s their kind gesture, so Yang Cheng took symbolic sips from the bowl, feeling instantly hot all over.

"Leave the rest for Da Shan, I’m heading to Yue Ying’s place."

He waved his hand and was about to leave when Da Shan immediately stepped forward, curiously asking, "Brother Cen, I heard no one will disrupt the wedding tonight, why are you going so early?"

"Yue Ying’s health hasn’t fully recovered, I’m going over to give her acupuncture, and I’ll stay there too."

Yang Cheng didn’t directly say it was Yue Ying’s request, as Da Shan was her future husband, saying it might impact their relationship as a couple.

As soon as he spoke, Da Shan leaned in, whispering, "Brother Cen, since no one will disrupt the wedding tonight, don’t be too rambunctious; I’m worried Yue Ying won’t be able to bear it."

"Don’t worry."

Yang Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly; saying this from Da Shan’s mouth was truly embarrassing.

He quickly lifted his leg to leave, heading next door to Yue Ying’s house.

At that moment, the sky had not yet darkened, but inside, red candles were burning, and a young girl in a red wedding dress sat by the bedside, smiling brightly at him.

Her long, shiny black hair was tied up, adorned with golden hair accessories. Her already delicate face was lightly made up, with a touch of lip color, making her features even more stunning.

"Why did you put on the wedding dress today?"

Yang Cheng was somewhat startled; other brides wore dresses today and only changed into wedding dresses the next day.

"This wedding dress was bought by you; I wanted to wear it for you to see."

Yue Ying’s voice was sweet as she slowly stood, walking toward Yang Cheng, wrapping her jade arms around his neck.

"Look at the wedding room I decorated, do you think it’s pretty?"

When she mentioned this, Yang Cheng realized the simple little room had decorations hanging, with red ribbons tied into a flower and hung at the headboard.

On the sides of the bed, two dragon and phoenix candles burn, as if they were newlyweds in the bridal chamber on their wedding night.

"It’s pretty, but not as pretty as you."

Yang Cheng’s voice was deep, as he naturally wrapped his big hands around her waist, like holding a child, supporting her by the hips and lifting her onto the bed.

"Why aren’t you wearing shoes? What if you catch cold?"

His hot hands enveloped her jade feet, slowly rubbing them.

A moment ago, Yue Ying felt a bit chilled; now she was suddenly warm, looking up at his handsome and sunny face, she couldn’t help but lean in to kiss his cheek.

Seeing Yang Cheng’s lips curled into a smile, her own face blushed with embarrassment. "Chen, lower me now; it’s tiring to keep holding me!"

"I like holding you."

Yang Cheng refused to let go, leaning down to kiss her lips, but she reached out to stop him.

"Don’t rush! It’s not dark yet!"

Yue Ying said tenderly, kicking her legs slightly to signal him to put her down.

"Why call me over so early if you’re not urgent? Just to torment me!"

Yang Cheng raised a hand, giving her perky bottom a light smack, helplessly setting her down at the bed edge, even putting socks on her.

"Who said getting you here early was for the Enlightenment; I wanted us to complete a ceremony."

Then Yue Ying brought over a tray, filled with peanuts and dates, and grabbed a handful to sprinkle on the bed.

"Don’t just stand there, grab a handful too, it’s the ’Scattering the Bed’ ceremony, symbolizing ’early offspring’!"

She reached out and pulled Yang Cheng, handing him the tray.

Yang Cheng’s expression was complex, but to make her happy, he grabbed a handful and sprinkled it.

After this first step, Yue Ying brought over a bowl of chicken noodle soup, smiling as she said, "I made Longevity Noodles with my own hands, let’s eat together."

She picked up the noodles to feed Yang Cheng, and then took a bite herself, setting the bowl aside.

"Is the noodle I made tasty?"

"Delicious."

Yang Cheng nodded; in fact, it wasn’t that flavorful, but seeing the little girl’s expectant eyes, he couldn’t say anything to disappoint.

Yue Ying was all smiles, picking up two cups of wine, handing one to Yang Cheng, saying, "Next, we’ll drink the unity wine."

The two raised their cups and drank together, the wine tasting spicy enough to make Yue Ying’s eyes sparkle with a slight hint of red.
