The Whole World Wants Me To Get Divorced chapter 82

Extra 7 Past Life – The End

Yan Gu took a step back in the water, feeling lost and uncertain. His slender arms clung to the rocks behind him for support, barely maintaining his balance against the cold and sharp edges of the stone wall, which scraped against his tender skin without causing any pain.

Rong Xiao’s words from a moment ago exploded in his mind like fireworks.

He remembered the lantern festival from the previous time.

Remembering the kiss Rong Xiao gave him, recalling him holding his hand in the crowded crowd, remembering them standing on the wooden bridge with the concentric knot tied by Rong Xiao.

At that time, he thought it was just the flirtatious nature of a demon, and Rong Xiao unintentionally teasing him.

But how could the jealousy in Rong Xiao’s eyes now be explained?

Whose secret was hidden in that knot?

He stared at Rong Xiao for a long time, sometimes wanting to laugh, and sometimes not daring to.

As if afraid of disturbing the beautiful moonlight of tonight, he softly asked Rong Xiao, “What did you just say? Say it again… Do you like me?”

Rong Xiao nodded without blinking.

He stared directly at Yan Gu and said, “I like you, my heart is content with you, and I’m deeply infatuated with you. Is that not allowed?”

This barrage of words hit Yan Gu like a bombardment, leaving him dizzy but overjoyed.

Rong Xiao, however, seemed to think it was not enough. He leaned in closer, narrowing the distance between them. They were almost face to face, nose to nose, and eye to eye.

Rong Xiao softly scolded him, “When you were in Kunlun, you clearly promised to be good to me.”

Why now, wouldn’t you respond to my affection?

Yan Gu felt his heart melting.

How could he not like Rong Xiao?

This was the person he had admired day and night.

Back in Kunlun, he had already developed feelings for this unmovable tree. He reached out to invite Rong Xiao to join him in the mortal realm.

He thought it was just wishful thinking, and Rong Xiao would never come with him.

He even secretly thought that perhaps, leaving Kunlun and not seeing Rong Xiao anymore, someday he would be able to erase his yearning for him.

But unexpectedly, Rong Xiao handed his hand to him, followed him to Ten Thousand Swords Sect, moved into his courtyard, and slept by his side.

How could he forget?

He could only step by step sink deeper, unable to extricate himself.

“I like you too,” Yan Gu couldn’t care less, urgently explaining to Rong Xiao, wishing to show him his sincere heart.

His voice resounded in the silent surroundings, not particularly loud but resonating like metal and stone.

He said to Rong Xiao, “I don’t know what you misheard or misunderstood, but I’ll tell you now, Rong Xiao, I’ve liked only you since we met.”

As an Immortal Lord in the cultivation world, he had encountered countless beauties. And the Fairy of Lingyun Pavilion, indeed, didn’t like him.

But the Little Sect Master of Xihe Sect, the Junior Sect Master of Hehuan Sect, and the Lady of Tianyan Tower—all had once expressed their love to him.

Not to mention the numerous men and women in the cultivation world who admired him. If he nodded, there would be no shortage of people willing to fill his harem, eagerly anticipating a night of pleasure with him.

But he had never been moved.

He even doubted whether he was born without the string of lovesickness.

But now he knew, it wasn’t that he lacked that string of lovesickness; it was that he had left it in the Kunlun Secret Realm, left it on this unmovable tree.

This time, it was Rong Xiao’s turn to be dumbfounded.

Just a moment ago, he was threatening Yan Gu, planning to lock him up. As a result, Yan Gu, without needing him to lock, willingly threw himself into Rong Xiao’s embrace.

He rarely revealed a bewildered expression, staring blankly at Yan Gu.

“Weren’t you going to marry the Fairy?” He even suspected that Yan Gu was just trying to appease him. “Are you lying to me… to prevent me from killing her?”

Yan Gu: “…”

What a mess.

You not only burned the sachet, but now you want to kill her?

Your monstrous nature is undiminished.

But he couldn’t be bothered to explain in detail to Rong Xiao.

That last kiss made him feel really good.

He tiptoed in the water, arms hooked around Rong Xiao’s neck, tilted his head up, and kissed Rong Xiao again.

The starry sky hung low, the night was enchanting.

In this quiet courtyard, far from all worldly noise, only faint insect sounds could be heard. The clear lake reflected two shadows tightly embracing.

In the night breeze, someone was still asking softly.

“Do you really like me?”

And the other person answered.

“It really can’t get any more real.”

…

After a long time, Yan Gu and Rong Xiao finally came out of the lake and returned to the corridor.

Both of them used magic to dry their soaked clothes, and Rong Xiao even conjured several flames in the air, surrounding them like a makeshift furnace.

Both of their lips were excessively red, and Yan Gu’s lips were even cracked.

In the half-hour just spent in the water, Yan Gu finally understood the cause and effect, knowing why Rong Xiao went crazy and burned that sachet.

It turned out that he misunderstood and thought he was going to marry Fairy Bipoxian.

The messenger behind this misunderstanding was none other than his overly lively disciples.

Yan Gu secretly pondered that he hadn’t assigned enough homework.

He explained to Rong Xiao with a smile, “Fairy Bipoxian has someone in her heart, but it’s not me; it’s her junior martial brother. She gave me the sachet to bless it with a protective charm for her junior brother. You, on the other hand, burned someone else’s token of love, making me apologize to her tomorrow.”

Rong Xiao didn’t care about whether Fairy Bipoxian had a token of love or not.

Just because she was Yan Gu’s childhood friend, he still didn’t like her.

He told Yan Gu, “It’s just a sachet and a bead. If she needs more, I’ll give her more. What’s the big deal?”

Yan Gu looked at him with a headache, realizing that this big demon was quite unreasonable about some things.

Rong Xiao didn’t want Yan Gu to mention other people’s matters again. He hugged him, played with his hand, and asked with a sticky tone, “If you’ve liked me since Kunlun, why were you unhappy when I kissed you last time?”

Yan Gu opened his mouth, hesitated to express his suspicion that Rong Xiao was just fooling around, and could only vaguely say, “I thought you were just teasing me, not really meaning it.”

Rong Xiao held him even tighter, “Why would I tease you? I possess powerful magic, yet I am powerless against you.”

Although he was a demon from the Kunlun Realm and had never experienced earthly affairs, now he effortlessly spoke words of love.

Yan Gu blushed from the words but wanted to hear more.

After frolicking outside for a while, the two returned to the room.

Rong Xiao insisted on bathing together with Yan Gu, resulting in water splashing everywhere.

Back in the warm and soft bed, Rong Xiao hugged him again, looking at the peach tree in the courtyard through the window.

Even though it wasn’t peach blossom season, when he raised his hand, a wisp of spiritual energy flew from his fingertips, entering the peach tree. In an instant, the previously dull peach tree blossomed with thousands of pink flowers, forming a cloud of peach-pink mist that was particularly enchanting in the night.

Holding Yan Gu, he said, “Last time, when we tied the heart knot on that wooden bridge, it was adorned with peach blossoms. Can you guess what wish I made?”

Yan Gu smiled slightly, “Did you wish for me to love you?”

But Rong Xiao shook his head, “Just loving me is not enough. I want you to belong to me for a lifetime, in this life and the next, for eternity.”

Yan Gu’s smile deepened, muttering about Rong Xiao being greedy, but then turned to kiss his neck.

…

The next day at noon, Yan Gu finally got up from the bed.

Reluctant to let him go, Rong Xiao playfully kissed him for a while before Yan Gu slipped out of the courtyard. Outside, he straightened his collar, acting like a thief afraid of being caught.

With the remaining bead, he went to apologize to Fairy Bipoxian, who scolded him vehemently but forgave him reluctantly when he promised to compensate her with three Heartless Grasses.

The people from Lingyun Pavilion stayed at Ten Thousand Swords Sect for another two or three days before leaving joyfully, without mentioning anything about the marriage alliance.

However, merely two months later, Lingyun Pavilion held a wedding ceremony, with Fairy Bipoxian marrying her junior martial brother.

Yan Gu purposely took Rong Xiao to attend the wedding to reassure him that there was nothing between him and  Fairy Bipoxian.

Looking at the newlyweds at the feast, Rong Xiao asked Yan Gu, “Since Fairy Bipoxian is married now, why haven’t you proposed to me?”

Yan Gu, holding a wine cup, looked confused, “Do you want to marry me? I thought demons don’t care about that.”

Rong Xiao frowned, his eyes clearly expressing – I do care.

So, at the end of that year, in the winter, after a heavy snowfall, the entire Ten Thousand Swords Sect was covered in a layer of glistening white.

All the people stayed indoors, even the usually lively disciples, who lazily cuddled under their blankets.

In Yan Gu’s small courtyard, a long table was set up, adorned with dragon and phoenix candles, various fruits, and with Rong Xiao, they bowed to the heavens and the earth, officially becoming partners.

Although the cultivation world was temporarily at peace with the demon realm, a person of Yan Gu’s status marrying a demon would still cause a considerable stir.

So, they didn’t inform anyone.

They held a simple wedding ceremony, bowing to the heavens and earth, drinking the marriage wine, officially becoming a couple, never to be separated again.

Yan Gu tied the last piece of red thread left by the matchmaker on Rong Xiao’s hand. “This is the last piece of red thread left by the matchmaker. Once you tie it, you’re mine for this life, and for all future lives.”

The red thread was tied on their fingers and disappeared into their skin.

Yan Gu and Rong Xiao happily ate the candies from their wedding, even though there were no relatives or friends, no music or celebration. Just sitting together felt sweet and content.

After enduring for a while, Rong Xiao couldn’t contain his excitement and lifted Yan Gu, carrying him into the bridal chamber.

Yan Gu did not resist, and who wouldn’t want to be happy with their loved one?

Unfortunately, both of them were novices, and with no practical experience, they spent their wedding night studying the art of lovemaking.

Yan Gu didn’t leave his room for the entire next day, refused visitors, and secretly pondered if there was any medicine to help with Rong Xiao’s endless vitality.

Accepting a lively fate was one thing, but tolerating an exuberant and well-endowed organ was another matter..

But before he could implement his plan, Rong Xiao practiced on him every day, honing his skills and turning them into exquisite techniques.

This matter was soon forgotten by Yan Gu.

The days after marriage remained unchanged.

A demon and a cultivator, they continued to coexist in Ten Thousand Swords Sect, much like before. However, the peach tree in Yan Gu’s courtyard, since then, bloomed continuously without withering.

Over time, the people of Ten Thousand Swords Sect vaguely noticed something, but nobody pointed it out.

Only Yan Gu’s master, Taisheng, took the opportunity when Yan Gu was away to summon Rong Xiao to his peak.

He said to Rong Xiao, “Yan Gu has been an orphan since childhood, found by Ten Thousand Swords Sect on the mountain path. Although he is under my guidance, I have more than one disciple, and I don’t know how to get close to younger generations. Despite his seemingly innocent appearance, he has also experienced hardships. Now that he likes you, I won’t oppose it. I just hope you treat my disciple well and don’t let him be hurt.”

Rong Xiao was not familiar with Taisheng. He wasn’t particularly interested in anyone other than Yan Gu. However, he could discern that this usually stern Immortal respected and cared for Yan Gu, keeping his affection hidden beneath a serious demeanor, unwilling to reveal it easily.

So, he didn’t just perfunctorily respond; instead, he nodded and promised, “I will. I’ll treat him better than anyone else.”

When he returned from Taisheng’s peak, he found that the tightly closed courtyard door was now open.

Pushing it open, he saw Yan Gu sitting on the corridor, gently swinging his legs. Next to him was a box of freshly made lotus seed pastries, and in his arms was a kitten whose origin was unknown.

Under the clear sky and gentle spring sunlight, Yan Gu smiled at him, his eyes curved.

“I’m back.”
