Bravely enter the heavens and become a god

Chapter 304: Lord Cangmo's Mortal Wedding

At this time, the Wang family's house was filled with loud gongs and drums, and the house was full of guests. The music was melodious and the sounds of stringed instruments were endless. Along with the festive drum beats and cheerful singing, it created a lively and joyful atmosphere.

The wedding ceremony was solemn and grand, and every step was carried out strictly in accordance with the etiquette norms of the Ming Dynasty.

Luo Ying, wearing a phoenix coronet and a red veil on her head, was supported by Wang Shouren as she walked down from the bridal sedan.

Luo Ying asked Wang Shouren in a low voice: "Master, isn't it the bridesmaid who is responsible for supporting the bride? Why..."

Wang Shouren interrupted her and said, "I have always been traumatized by the fact that you ran away from my marriage that day, so I have to complete every step myself today to ensure that you will not repeat the same trick and run away from me."

Accompanied by Wang Shouren, Luo Ying slowly walked into the hall and accepted everyone's blessings and congratulations.

Wang Shouren's stepmother Huang and Wang Hua sat in the main seats. Huang looked melancholy and asked in a low voice, "Master, do you really want to let this merchant's daughter be the legal wife of our eldest son of the Wang family?"

Wang Hua lowered his voice and said, "What can we do? Who let this rebellious son run to the general's mansion to snatch the bride? We have already benefited from our ancestors' kindness to be able to solve the problem this way. Fortunately, the general understood the righteousness and did not pursue the matter. Otherwise, how could our Wang family have a foothold in the court?"

Huang grumbled, "Is this great general so easy to talk to? Who knows if he really means it or if it's just a temporary measure? If he still gets involved with our Wang family's daughter-in-law in the future, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous?"

When Wang Hua heard her words, he frowned and looked very ugly. He lowered his voice and shouted angrily, "Shut up! You are too soft-hearted. This matter ends here. Don't mention it again. Keep it to yourself. We should keep our story to the public. A few days ago, Ren'er disappeared on his wedding night. He went to discuss metaphysics with the wandering Taoist priest and forgot to come back. We will hold a wedding ceremony today. Remember?"

Seeing Wang Hua’s serious expression, Huang couldn’t say anything else and could only nod submissively.

Wang Shouren held Luo Ying's hand tightly, his heart extremely excited. He stared at Luo Ying, who was covered with a red veil, fearing that she would run away from him. His eyes were full of expectation and longing for the future.

During the ceremony, the sound of drums and music and the blast of cannon salutes highlighted the solemnity and grandeur of the wedding.

Wang Shouren and Luo Ying were performing the wedding ceremony. Holding big red bouquets in their hands, they were about to bow to each other as husband and wife, but Luo Ying was unwilling to do so.

Wang Shouren's heart tightened, and he leaned close to her and asked in a low voice: "Yingluo, what are you still hesitating about?"

Luo Ying suppressed his voice and said, "I...I can't perform the greeting ceremony with you!"

Wang Shouren felt a pang of pain in his heart and asked painfully, "Why not?"

Luo Ying said suppressedly: "Immortals and mortals cannot marry each other. If we violate the rules of heaven, we will all be punished. Then not only will I be unable to help you, but I will also cause you to be punished for a longer period of time."

Wang Shouren held her hand tremblingly, speechless.

Wang Hua looked at Wang Shouren in surprise and asked, "Why did you stop? The ceremony is not over yet?"

Wang Shouren could only think of a quick solution and said to Wang Hua: "Father, Luo'er, I sprained my waist yesterday and can't bend down. Let's skip this step for now."

Wang Hua looked at Wang Shouren in astonishment and asked, "How could we miss this most important step?"

Wang Shouren could only say awkwardly: "Just show your appreciation, I'll take her back to her room."

Wang Hua laughed and teased him, "You are too impatient!"

Seeing Wang Shouren's expectant look, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay! Go ahead!"

Wang Shouren was about to return to his room with Luo Ying when Wang Hua stopped them and said meaningfully, "You must work harder so that I can have a grandson soon!"

Luo Ying was choked by Wang Hua's words and coughed violently. Wang Shouren looked at Luo Ying's violent reaction and couldn't help but smile shyly. He deliberately raised his voice to tell Luo Ying: "I will work hard and will not let my father down!"

After saying that, he pulled Luo Ying back to the room.

Wang Shouren took Luo Ying, who was wearing a red veil, to the bridal chamber. Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu stood on both sides of the door. Luo Ying walked into the room, but Wang Shouren was stopped outside the door by Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu.

Xiao Qingxiu said calmly: "Please stay, Mr. Wang."

Wang Shouren asked in surprise: "Why did you stop me, the groom, from entering the wedding night with Yingluo?"

Shao Hanyue smiled and said, "My Lord, although you are the host of Lord Cangmo, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. For the sake of both of you, you will not be punished by the heavenly rules. You can only be a couple in name only. Forget about the bridal chamber!"

Wang Shouren said suppressedly, "I know, that's the rule. But if you two are married and live in separate rooms, won't that cause people to talk about it?"

Xiao Qingxiu raised her hand to stop Wang Shouren, refusing to give in and said resolutely: "That won't work either. If the two of you are in the same room, many things will be hard to control. We have to be responsible for our Third Prince, otherwise if he blames us in the future, neither of us can bear it."

Wang Shouren was so angry that his face turned blue, and he shouted angrily: "It was obviously your Third Prince who first stole my lover from my previous life. Since he has already decided to give up her, why did you take her away from me again while I was in the mortal world to experience the tribulation?"

Xiao Qingxiu was speechless after hearing what he said and put down her hand. He sighed deeply, looked at Luo Ying affectionately and said suppressedly: "Yingluo and I had already developed feelings for each other during the time we were in Wangyou Palace and Beihai. If I really couldn't control myself, what should have happened during the time they broke up in Wangyou Palace and Beihai would have happened long ago. Would they still have a chance to reconcile?

I would not force her if I had a legitimate opportunity before, let alone knowing that the immortal love would make her be punished together, so it is even more impossible for her to be punished for me. Before she is ready and truly accepts me, no matter how much I want to have her, I will restrain myself..."

When Luo Ying heard what he said, he tried to persuade Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu, saying, "Okay, don't worry about it. Don't you know the character of my master? You've been tired all day. Go back and rest early!"

Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu looked at Luo Ying helplessly. Shao Hanyue whispered to Luo Ying, "You two must restrain yourself and don't cross the line! You must stick to the bottom line..."

Luo Ying patted the back of Shao Hanyue's hand and said, "I understand. My master and I both know our limits."

Shao Hanyue and Xiao Qingxiu could only leave the door of their wedding room.

Wang Shouren led Luo Ying, who was covered with a red veil, to the bedside. He used a hook to lift the veil and saw the beautiful Luo Ying. Wang Shouren excitedly said to Luo Ying, "Although I know you came here to help me get over my love troubles, I really hope our wedding is real."

Luo Ying looked at Wang Shouren and shyly changed the subject, saying, "Master, I have helped you overcome your love tribulation. From now on, you should focus on your official career. Become a saint as soon as possible and benefit the people of the world. Then you can return earlier and it will not be in vain for my hard work."

Wang Shouren sat next to Luo Ying and said gently, "Don't call me Master anymore."

Luo Ying asked in surprise: "What is that called?"

Wang Shouren's eyes were full of affection. He hooked her nose and said intimately: "Since we are married in public, we should act out the whole play. According to the rules, you should call me husband."

Luo Ying's heart tightened, and she said shyly, "Ah! Then...how can that be possible?"

Wang Shouren grabbed Luo Ying's hand and said excitedly, "Why is it not possible? You skipped the ceremony of greeting each other and the wedding night, and you are not even willing to change the title for me? In the future, my father and others will call me Master when they hear you call me Master. How do you think you should explain this to them?"

Luo Ying stammered, "But..."

Wang Shouren looked at Luo Ying's hesitant expression and said in a suppressed tone, "After all, you still can't let go of Hua Yuchen, right? You're afraid of feeling guilty towards him, right?"

Luo Ying hesitated to speak, not knowing how to explain to him.

Wang Shouren looked at her hesitant look, his heart sank into a cold pool, his eyes moistened, and he said to her painfully: "No matter how good I am to you, no matter how much I give for you, it can't compare to the place he holds in your heart, right?"

Luo Ying looked at his tearful eyes, feeling extremely guilty, and choked up as she said, "I'm sorry, Master. I've failed you in your love for me."

Wang Shouren couldn't suppress the turbulent emotions in his heart. He hugged her tightly in his arms and said sadly, "Why did you forgive him and reconcile with him even though he hurt you so deeply? You knew that we had a relationship in our previous life, and we loved each other during the time we spent together in Wangyou Palace and Beihai. Why did you choose to turn a blind eye to our feelings?"

Luo Ying was confused by what he said. Wang Shouren lifted Luo Ying's face, looked at her affectionately and said, "We have a rare time alone during this period. Don't rush to make a decision. You can use your heart to feel my love for you and find the sincere feelings we had ten million years ago. Finally, use your heart to decide who is more suitable for you between me and him, okay?"

Luo Ying felt a pang in his heart and nodded unconsciously.
