After Xia Nian finished washing, Xia Houyu draped his coat on the ground for her to sit on, and he turned his back to her.

Xia Nian used the branches she picked up to make a simple clothesline and placed the clothes next to it to dry. She put on a coat and for the first time she was thankful that the ancients had so many clothes.

Xia Nian looked at him. Xiahou Yu was sitting upright, his hair was loose and had been dried by the sun, making him look gentler than usual.

Xia Nian smiled and said softly, "Xia Houyu, let's get married."

Xiahou Yu subconsciously turned his head, then immediately turned back, making Xia Nian laugh out loud.

"Anian, are you serious?" He turned around without hesitation when he heard the laughter.

Xia Nian put her hands on her chest, her cheeks slightly red: "Turn around!"

Xiahou Yu began to push his luck. He hugged Xia Nian and said, "We'll get married when I find the jade slip!"

Xia Nian looked at him helplessly and gently held his hand, "No, let's get married here."

She picked up a branch and wrote something on the ground.

Xiahou Yu let go of her slightly, his eyes firm as he said, "No, I want a sedan chair with eight bearers, three letters of engagement and six betrothal gifts."

Xia Nian stopped, she was just worried that after visiting ten cities or finding the jade slip, they would leave here.

She didn't want her relationship with Xiahou Yu to end in nothing, so if that was the case, they would get married now.

"Our parents are all dead, so let's swear an oath to heaven and earth here. That's good." Xia Nian continued to write. At the end, she clapped her hands and threw the branches into the fire.

Xiahou Yu looked at what she wrote, it was an oath.

He raised his hands and hugged her, saying softly: "Okay, the three days of mourning are over, so let's get married here first, and then we can have a wedding banquet after we go back."

Xia Nian nodded, "Okay."

They rested here for two days. When Xiahou Yu's shoulder wound was almost healed, he went into the water to catch fish.

The wedding was scheduled for the evening of the next day. Xia Nian's dress was white, and she pinned many bright flowers on her hair. She also used flower juice as rouge on her lips, making her look particularly delicate and charming, and less cold.

She pinned a red flower on Xiahou Yu's waist. He tied his hair up high and washed his clothes very cleanly. While he was drying his clothes, no matter how he acted, Xia Nian didn't even look at him.

Xia Nian packed up and walked up from downstairs. She folded her hands in front of her and stood there gracefully. The wind blew away some of the petals on her head, but she was still beautiful and eye-catching.

Xiahou Yu immediately went to help her, and the two of them walked slowly to the peach tree, arm in arm.

A breeze blew by, and Xiahou Yu smelled a strong floral scent. He glanced at Xia Nian from the corner of his eye. Her face was rosy and she looked very beautiful.

The two of them bowed to the heaven and earth, and Xiahou Yu picked up Xia Nian and returned to the cave.

Accompanied by the sound of flowing waterfalls, Xiahou Yu raised the cup made of leaves and began to recite the oath.

"I swear by heaven and earth that I am willing to hold your hand, grow old with you, be together forever, and never leave you." Xiahou Yu's voice was clear and pleasant, and his tone was gentle, as if he cherished this moment especially.

"We'll always be thinking of each other, and we'll be together through life and death." Xia Nian raised the leaf, and the two of them intertwined their arms and drank the water instead of the wine.

"Forever and ever, till death do us part."

The two looked at each other, Xiahou Yu hugged her shoulders with a tender look in his eyes. He looked into Xia Nian's misty eyes and kissed her passionately.

It was getting dark outside, just in time for the wedding night.

Xiahou Yu had already taken off his coat and let Xia Nian sit on it. He grabbed her wrists with both hands, and Xia Nian fell on the coat.

Xia Nian thought that since they were already married, they could do that kind of thing, but she was still a little nervous. After all, it was her first time, and Xiahou Yu was a martial artist, so he didn't take things lightly.

Xiahou Yu looked at her, suddenly leaned over to her neck, took a deep breath, then looked up at her with raging love and a little confusion in his eyes.

Xia Nian chuckled. She wanted to reach out to help Xia Houyu undress, but Xia Houyu grabbed her wrists.

"No, Anian, you will be hurt here. We must wait until we get back." Xiahou Yu's voice was a little hoarse. He grabbed Xia Nian's wrist, and his breathing was a little heavy.

Before Xia Nian could finish her words "It's okay", Xia Hou Yu stood up and jumped into the pool to calm down.

Xia Nian was stunned for a second and couldn't help laughing out loud.

-

Another group of people were still on their way to look for them. Because Xiahou Yu said there was no rush, he sent a flying pigeon to bring their clothes back these two days. Only then did Meng Yin and the other two feel a little relieved.

"It's so strange. Logically, Nian Nian would definitely be in a hurry to find us. If both of them are fine, they should be fast." In the carriage, Meng Yin raised her doubts to the two of them.

Tao Tao agreed with her idea and said, "I think so too. Could it be that... one of them is injured and can't leave?"

Xu Zheng said: "But didn't Xiahou Yu say there was no rush?"

Meng Yin stroked his chin, thinking: "Something must have happened between them!"

"Why don't we try to persuade Nian Nian. We also saw what happened between her and Master Xiahou, but Nian Nian has a hurdle in her heart." Tao Tao said.

Meng Yin nodded and said yes, then sighed. It was not just Nian Nian who had troubles in her heart, they all had the same feelings.

At this time, Xia Nian and Xia Hou Yu, one was fishing in the pond, and the other was sitting on the shore, slapping the water with his feet from time to time.

Xiahou Yu glanced at Xia Nian from the corner of his eye. She was so lively, which was unusual for her, but she just didn't go into the water with him.

He rolled his eyes, put his hand on his chest, and coughed twice: "It hurts..."

Xia Nian thought his old injury had relapsed, so she jumped into the water and ran towards him: "What's wrong? I just reminded you not to use too much force, is your wound open?"

Xiahou Yu smiled secretly and cunningly. It seemed that Anian really cared about him. His wound was on his shoulder, but he was covering his chest.

When Xia Nian ran over to pull off his clothes, he hugged her waist and asked, "A Nian, you care about me so much."

Xia Nian was stunned, then she frowned and patted his arm. She suddenly became playful, broke free from his restraints, bent down, scooped up a handful of water and poured it on his face.

"Anian..." There were drops of water on Xiahou Yu's face and hair. His black and white eyes were sparkling, and he looked at her without blinking, with some disbelief.

Xia Nian lifted her skirt with both hands and said, "Who told you to lie to me? My skirt is all wet."

Xiahou Yu didn't take her reproach to heart at all. He chuckled and tried to hug her, but Xia Nian dodged him swiftly.

Xiahou Yu suddenly had an idea, and he pretended to turn around and go fishing. Seeing that he had calmed down, Xia Nian was about to go ashore, but she saw the reflection in the water approaching her. She slightly turned sideways, and Xiahou Yu failed to catch her, and her body fell forward uncontrollably, which frightened Xia Nian and she immediately went to pull him.

A triumphant smile appeared on Xiahou Yu's lips. He turned around, hugged Xia Nian's waist with one hand, held her wrist with the other, and fell into the water with Xia Nian.

There was a splashing sound of water in the pool. The pool was not deep. Xiahou Yu was at the bottom and Xia Nian was at the top. She was still a little confused, but when she saw the smile in Xiahou Yu's eyes, she immediately understood what he was thinking.

She put her palm on Xiahou Yu's chest and hit him hard, which caused Xiahou Yu to sneer.

Xia Nian felt angry and amused at the same time. She had fallen into the hands of this black-hearted Tang Yuan.

She looked up at him. Xiahou Yu's lower body was almost in the water. His hair was wet, and his face looked paler in the sunlight. He was grinning, looking very harmless.

"A Nian, is it fun?" He reached out to smooth the hair by Xia Nian's ear.

Xia Nian fell completely into his arms. Just as she was about to say it was a lot of fun, she heard shouts from behind them.

"Nian Nian! What are you and Xia Houyu doing in the water!?"

It was the voices of Meng Yin and Xu Zheng. Xia Nian looked up and saw a group of people standing there looking at them.

Xia Nian blushed, not caring about the surprise, and immediately stood up. Xia Houyu smiled and helped her up, deliberately saying: "A Nian, it's okay if they see it."

Xia Nian glared at him, then felt so angry that she stepped on him before going ashore.
