The Domain Lord Chang Family mansion.

Chang Xiuyue stood alone by the window, eagerly awaiting.

She was waiting for Wang Xiaoqiang to arrive, to bring the bride price, to marry her.

The look of anticipation on the beauty's face had already shown a few traces of anxiety and torment.

These days, she felt as though years had passed.

The news that Great Grandfather had promised her to Wang Xiaoqiang had long been spread, and almost the entire world knew.

If... if Wang Xiaoqiang didn't come to marry her, then not only would she be ashamed to face anyone, but the Chang Family would also lose face.

However, compared to reputation, Chang Xiuyue cared more about Wang Xiaoqiang's feelings for her because she truly loved Wang Xiaoqiang. If Wang Xiaoqiang were to change his heart, how would she go on living?

Unlike Chang Xiuyue, Chang Tianfeng showed no signs of anxiety after all; he had lived for over two hundred years, and his judgment on people was still quite accurate.

Moreover, Chang Xiuyue's beauty and the Chang Family's power were both exceptional. To Wang Xiaoqiang, marrying Chang Xiuyue would bring countless benefits without any harm, so Wang Xiaoqiang had no reason to change his mind.

In recent days, according to Chang Tianfeng's arrangements, the Chang Family had been busy preparing dowry for Chang Xiuyue and setting up the wedding. The entire mansion was bustling with activity.

Wang Xiaoqiang was also busy; he first needed to entertain Domain Lord Zeng Huaifeng, keep him around to enjoy the wedding feast, then bring Fairy Zixia and Ling Xuefei to Windrise Palace to stay, and invite Sect Leader Black Whirlwind and Lord Anqing to the wedding, of course bringing his several brothers, Ding Chunqiu, Zuo Dao, Tianhuo, and Long Mu; the two old guys shamelessly tagged along.

Sect Leader Black Whirlwind and Deputy Tower Master Lord Anqing met with Vermilion Bird Guardian, Zeng Huaifeng, and inevitably reminisced, while Fairy Zixia and Ling Xuefei, under Wang Xiaoqiang's arrangements, prepared to set up the bridal chamber.

Having their own women set up the bridal chamber, this would certainly make news on Earth, but in the Biluo Realm, it's not considered unusual. Regardless of whether Fairy Zixia and Ling Xuefei were willing or jealous, they had to devote time and effort to organize it.

Meanwhile, Ding Chunqiu, Zuo Dao, Tianhuo, and Long Mu were busy handling wedding arrangements.

After everything was organized, Wang Xiaoqiang, accompanied by Vermilion Bird Guardian, Sect Leader Black Whirlwind, Old Qiao, and four servants, brought a box of jewels and a box of golden silk to the Chang Family as the bride price.

Of course, this box of jewels and golden silk was given by Domain Lord Zeng Huaifeng; Wang Xiaoqiang hadn't spent a dime.

Vermilion Bird Guardian and Sect Leader Black Whirlwind enhanced Wang Xiaoqiang's prestige, while the four attendants were responsible for carrying the bride price. Although the bride price could be carried in a storage ring, things were different in such joyous occasions; it had to be displayed for honor and glory, not hidden in a storage ring.

Old Qiao acted as the matchmaker, responsible for liaising with the Chang Family, negotiating wedding matters.

Seeing the eagerly awaited Wang Xiaoqiang finally arrive, with the bride price, accompanied by matchmaker-like Old Qiao, and with Vermilion Bird Guardian and Sect Leader Black Whirlwind, everything was so thoroughly prepared; the Chang Family secretly breathed a sigh of relief and also felt joyful inside, their faces shining with delight, treating them all with great enthusiasm and importance.

Vermilion Bird Guardian and Black Whirlwind chatted with Chang Tianfeng, while Old Qiao negotiated wedding matters with the Chang Family's wedding officials, and Wang Xiaoqiang went directly to Chang Xiuyue's Fragrant Boudoir.

The long-awaiting Chang Xiuyue saw her beloved man finally appear. Uncontrollably, she threw herself into Wang Xiaoqiang's arms, crying softly. Wang Xiaoqiang held her tightly and comforted her for a while.

The maids knowingly retreated, and Chang Xiuyue, having wiped away her tears, looked at Wang Xiaoqiang with affectionate eyes and said, "I thought you weren't coming..."

"How could I not? I, Wang Xiaoqiang, am no heartless man..." Wang Xiaoqiang cupped Chang Xiuyue's delicate and pretty face in his hands and said, "Xiuyue, are you feeling like one day without me is like three autumns now..."

"No, not at all," Chang Xiuyue said shyly and coquettishly, "I'm just... just..."

"Just what..."

"..." Chang Xiuyue couldn't find another reason because her previous behavior had already revealed her feelings, and it was too late to hide them now.

Seeing her awkward and extremely embarrassed state, Wang Xiaoqiang then uncontrollably stretched his mouth forward, kissing her tender lips that were as delicate as petals.

This was Chang Xiuyue's first kiss, just taken by Wang Xiaoqiang. Although it came suddenly, it was also quite natural. Out of modesty, she only resisted slightly; when she couldn't escape, she consented and even actively accommodated Wang Xiaoqiang.

The two shared a long, affectionate kiss.

Wang Xiaoqiang began to get mischievous, his hands roaming over Chang Xiuyue. Chang Xiuyue, feeling the man's touch for the first time, trembled, extremely uneasy, and pushed Wang Xiaoqiang away, saying breathlessly, "That's enough; the best things should be saved for the best moments..."

"When is the best moment?" Wang Xiaoqiang was similarly breathing heavily.

"On the wedding night." Chang Xiuyue lowered her head shyly, her face completely red, redder than flowers.

"That's tomorrow night. Haha..." Wang Xiaoqiang said with a triumphant smile.

"Ah? What? So soon?" Chang Xiuyue was startled.

"Why, don't you want to marry me?"

"No, not at all; just a bit, a bit fast, isn't it?"

"Isn't faster better? Once we're married, we'll be together every day."

"Ah, yes, that's right." Chang Xiuyue said shyly; she also wished to marry Wang Xiaoqiang sooner, but as a maiden on her first marriage, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.

"Tomorrow is our wedding day; haha, I can hardly wait," Wang Xiaoqiang said, taking Chang Xiuyue into his arms again. Chang Xiuyue was simple-hearted, unsophisticated, and sincerely loved him, so he genuinely wished to marry her soon and sail through the river of love together.

This day was joyful and anticipated for Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue,

But it was tormenting for Chu Tianhe, Feng'er, and even the Chu Family and Fang Family.

For on the day Wang Xiaoqiang went to the Chang Family to deliver the bride price, Chu Tianhe also arrived at Biluo City Fang Family, requesting to marry Fang Yuyan in advance.

City Lord Fang Yuntian did not refuse; he agreed directly. He had great suspicion and even certainty about his daughter's identity, suspecting the daughter in the boudoir at home was an impostor.

Thus, he was in perpetual torment. Rather than continue suffering, it was better to marry off the "daughter" early, regardless of what might happen afterward; he could only take one step at a time...

The next day.

This was a great day.

Whether for Wang Xiaoqiang and Chang Xiuyue or for Chu Tianhe and Feng'er, it was a great day.

During this time, Feng'er had been living a privileged life as a lady stuck-up in the House of the City Lord, extremely happy.

Such a life, she never even dreamed of before, so she was very satisfied with her current life,

And even upon marrying, she would still be the daughter-in-law of the Domain Lord's son, living a life similar to that of a young mistress, not much worse than now,

Thinking about it now, she felt immensely proud,

Though she still harbored resentment towards Wang Xiaoqiang; in Wang Xiaoqiang's hands, she lived a life like a slave, worse than death; Wang Xiaoqiang was like a nightmare to her, yet, considering her current situation, she felt grateful to Wang Xiaoqiang too.
