One month later.

Y City.

Inside a restaurant.

On this day, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao got married.

Amidst cheers, Chen Hao, dressed in a suit, and Ye Yuqiao, wearing a white wedding gown, walked down the red carpet. Following behind the couple as best man and maid of honor were naturally Xie Xiaofeng and Xie Xiaofeng.

The guests attending the wedding were mostly Onmyoji from various places in the East Country, as well as from Hua Shan and a few of his subordinates.

Although she was on the invitation list, Lin Xiaofan, Chen Hao's childhood sweetheart and first love, did not attend the event but sent her blessings to Chen Hao through Hua Shan.

At the wedding, Chen Hao also saw an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time—Tang Jing's brother, Tang Chao.

In addition, Wang Fengyin, whose Dragon Soul Chen Hao had sealed within himself a month ago, had also come from Y City with the Ye Fei couple.

Before the witnesses and blessing of everyone, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao drank the wedding wine, exchanged rings, and completed the mortal world wedding ceremony, officially becoming husband and wife.

At noon, after the festivities, Chen Hao carried Ye Yuqiao back to their home.

As they ascended the stairs, many of the elders who had watched Chen Hao grow up came out of their doors to offer red envelopes and praised the bride Ye Yuqiao for her good looks.

Sitting on the sofa in their home, Ye Yuqiao didn't want to take off her wedding dress. She leaned against Chen Hao's shoulder and asked, "Chen Hao, do I look good in a wedding dress?"

Chen Hao nodded, "You're already stunning without a wedding dress; wearing one makes you unbeatable."

"Sweet-talker!" Ye Yuqiao's smile blossomed like a flower.

After a while, Ye Yuqiao touched her belly and said, "My belly is getting bigger, and it will be more inconvenient to move around in the future."

"Just bear with it, in half a year you can 'unload the cargo,'" Chen Hao said with a laugh, "Then you'll be a mom, and I'll be a dad."

Ye Yuqiao huffed, "Why isn't it men who have to give birth?"

"I don't know either. Yuqiao, rest assured, I'll definitely take good care of you during this time."

"Does that mean you won't take care of me after the child is born?"

"Of course, I'll still take care of you, it's just that this is a special time, so I'll be extra careful," Chen Hao explained.

Then, Chen Hao leaned closer to Ye Yuqiao and whispered, "Yuqiao, now that we're married, shouldn't we change our terms of endearment?"

"What should we call each other?" Ye Yuqiao's eyes went round.

"Wife!"

As Chen Hao uttered those two words, he felt ineffably delighted, an indescribable wonderful feeling.

Ye Yuqiao let out an "Oh," her face flushed red all at once, and she bowed her head to avoid Chen Hao's gaze.

"Why don't you call me something too?" Chen Hao asked.

"Chen Hao."

"Not that name!"

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Yuqiao lifted her gaze to Chen Hao, and after brewing her emotions for a long time, she finally said to Chen Hao, "Husband!"

"Ah, that's so cheesy!" she added, with a look of mixed laughter and tears.

"What a marvelous feeling!" Chen Hao, however, couldn't stop smiling.

He leaned in again, bringing his forehead to touch Ye Yuqiao's, and softly said, "Wife, you're so beautiful."

Night had fallen.

In Netherworld City, lights dazzled and decorations adorned, a canvas of festivity.

Holding their mortal world wedding ceremony during the daytime, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao were to have their Netherworld wedding ceremony.

Chen Hao, a man of the mortal world, had been bestowed the title of Yang King due to his illustrious martial achievements, and now, marrying the Nether King, it was destined to become a tale celebrated by all in the Netherworld.

In charge of the couple's matrimonial arrangements, Zhao Chong saw to it that in demonstrating the Nether King's boundless grace, he arranged a banquet to invite the entire city, achieving a true communal celebration.

According to tradition, as the Nether King, Ye Yuqiao held a status above Chen Hao, the Yang King, necessitating that Chen Hao marry into the royal family.

However, since the Nether King Palace was still under reconstruction, Ye Yuqiao, the Nether King, had no mansion of her own and so had to marry from the east courtyard and move to Chen Hao's Yang King's Mansion.

Compared to the daytime wedding in the mortal world, the Netherworld wedding was much more traditional and intricate, incorporating numerous rituals and ceremonies in addition to worshiping heaven and ancestors.

The suits and wedding dress that Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao wore during the day were replaced with celebratory red garments, Ye Yuqiao's bridal carriage evolved from a line of cars to a red horse and a grand sedan chair carried by eighteen people, followed by eight pairs of boys and girls, then a nearly hundred-person strong drum and gong troupe, and lastly, a formidable cavalry; as for the wedding march, it was substituted by the music of bells, drums, zithers, and other classical instruments.

Only at ten o'clock in the night did Chen Hao finally enter the bridal chamber.

Although it was customary in the Netherworld to play pranks on the newlyweds in their bridal chamber, given the special status of Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, no one dared to disturb them.

After sitting beside Ye Yuqiao, Chen Hao let out a long sigh of relief, "I'm exhausted, it's finally over."

"It's not over yet!" Ye Yuqiao said, her bridal veil yet to be lifted.

Chen Hao was startled!

At this moment, the door opened, and a regal and dignified middle-aged woman entered, followed by two maids who each carried a beautifully crafted jade tray, with two cups of wine and a joyful scale on them respectively.

The woman walked up to Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao, presenting her respects with great deference before chuckling to Chen Hao, "Newlywed husband, please, not so fast."

Having said that, the woman looked back, and the maid holding the joyful scale approached. The woman handed the scale to Chen Hao with both hands.

Chen Hao, understanding the implication, received the scale and eagerly used it to lift Yuqiao's red bridal veil.

At that moment, highlighted by the candlelight, Ye Yuqiao's face glowed, stunningly beautiful. She looked different from the bride in a wedding dress by day, instead exuding a classic and noble beauty that enthralled Chen Hao.

Although it wasn't the first time they had seen each other, Ye Yuqiao, after so many rituals, couldn't help but feel shy and slightly nodded her head.

The woman chuckled, then motioned for the other maid to step forward.

Next, Chen Hao and Ye Yuqiao partook in the toast of crossed cups, after which the woman left with the maids.

Seeing the door close, Chen Hao asked Ye Yuqiao, "It's all over now, right?"

Ye Yuqiao nodded, and then lifted her gaze towards Chen Hao, "Are you worn out?"

"Not tired," Chen Hao shook his head, "Don't we still have the bridal chamber?"

Ye Yuqiao glared at Chen Hao.

Chen Hao smiled and then extended his hand to touch Ye Yuqiao's abdomen, "I know, for the sake of our baby, I need to rein in my desires for a while."

After speaking, Chen Hao opened his arms to embrace Ye Yuqiao and said with a smile, "My lady! Is that how they say it in the Netherworld?"

"Getting cheesier and cheesier, I don't want to follow your lead"

"Say 'my lord' just once for me, just once."

"My... my lord," Ye Yuqiao's voice was barely audible.

Chen Hao laughed heartily twice, then mused, "We're married now, everything is so dreamy. In no time at all, we will welcome our baby, and our family of three will be full of joy."

"Who told you it's going to be three?"

"Ah!" Chen Hao was astonished, "Could it be, could it be?"
