Chapter 314 The Aloof Senior Brother is Easily Flirted With (43)

“This…” The city lord’s wife glanced at the city lord.

The city lord immediately stepped forward, "We've tried this before, having people fake marriages in an attempt to capture that thing, but..."

The city lord was at a loss for words.

"But it just doesn't work. It seems like he came, but I didn't see him at all."

"What do you mean by 'it seems like they're here'?" Xie Qingyu asked.

"Nobody saw anyone at the time, just like before. Then the girl pretending to be the bride said that she seemed to hear someone say in her ear, 'It's not a real wedding, why are you joining in the fun?' But even the girl couldn't be sure if she heard it or if it was just her imagination. The others didn't hear it at all either," the city lord's wife explained in detail.

He added, "Later, we also sent people to the families of those who were actually married several times, but the incident still happened. No matter how many people we sent, it didn't work. Even if they went inside to guard the house, it still didn't work."

"That's strange," Xie Qingyu commented.

It's really hard for ordinary demons and evil spirits to have such thoughts.

Moreover, normally speaking, although demons and evil spirits can transform into human form after cultivation, their aesthetics and tastes are actually different from those of humans, making it difficult for them to have any romantic feelings towards human women.

This is the first time I've ever heard of something like this.

Even Qing Shen was hearing about it for the first time.

When this mission was first sent to the Qingyun Sect, the person in charge of assigning the mission in the Hall of Affairs judged that it was probably not a demon or evil spirit and just planned to send someone over to take a look.

It was Qing Shen who took the initiative to accept it.

Now that we're here, hearing this description makes things a bit uncertain. After all, if it were done by human hands, it shouldn't be possible to succeed with so many people watching over it.

“We can’t let them take such a risk,” Xie Qingyu said. “Let’s get married.”

When Xie Qingyu said those words, the room fell silent.

The city lord and his wife were unaware of their plans or their relationship; they simply remained silent.

After all, the city lord's wife just said that marriage would not bring out the evil spirits.

Qing Shen remained silent, completely taken aback by Xie Qingyu's words.

He was already frozen in place before he even realized what Xie Qingyu meant.

marry.

Qing Shen probably thought of this method on his way here, but he never expected that the two of them would get married.

Even though he knew Xie Qingyu meant that they should fake a marriage to lure out the evil spirits, his heart was still beating very fast for some reason.

His palms seemed to be covered with a layer of sweat, and it was as if there was a thick curtain between his ears. He could hardly hear any other sounds, only his own "okay".

The city lord and his wife exchanged a glance, and it was the city lord's wife who said, "It would be wonderful if the two immortals could get married here. Putting everything else aside, I will definitely help you make the most of this marriage."

"We are fake..." Qing Shen knew immediately that the city lord's wife had misunderstood. He wanted to explain, but Xie Qingyu suddenly interrupted him.

"Then we'll have to trouble you, Madam. The preparation time is a bit tight right now, so we'll keep everything simple. We're not particular about these things, but the timing can't be too rushed. Three days from now would be about right. If we get married as soon as we enter the city tomorrow, it seems a bit fake."

Xie Qingyu's explanation seemed plausible.

The city lord's wife was also very savvy.

"Okay, like this... I can say that you two are my nephew and fiancée from my maternal side who have come to seek refuge with me. I'll just say that my brother passed away, and you two were forced to come to me, your aunt, because my brother died and my nephew has to observe three years of mourning. So I'm rushing to get your marriage done during the mourning period."

"That works!" The city lord agreed without hesitation; this excuse was perfect.

In this area, if an elder in the family passes away and the family doesn't want to delay the child's marriage, the wedding must be held within a month of the mourning period. Otherwise, the marriage can only take place after the three-year mourning period ends.

"Is this feasible? It means your brother has passed away... Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Qing Shen asked.

The city lord's wife waved her hand and said, "It's alright. Anyway, I have many brothers, and it's true that one or two of them have died, so it doesn't matter."

Seeing the city lord's wife like this, Qing Shen and Xie Qingyu naturally had no problem.

The two immediately changed into clothes suitable for the area, pretending to be seeking refuge with the city lord's wife, and settled down in the mansion.

The wedding will take three more days.

If there are no weddings in the city during this period, the evil spirit will not appear, so you can enjoy the scenery for a while.

There is a lot of water here, even right next to the houses, and boats can be seen coming and going through the gaps between the houses in the streets and alleys.

The baskets on the boat contained lotus pods that had been picked.

Qing Shen hired a boat and took Xie Qingyu to the deeper parts of the water.

This area seems to be the soul of the city, even more lively than the streets.

On the shore, children run around holding lotus flowers, perhaps followed by equally lively dogs, while on the boats beside the shore, whether selling lotus flowers, lotus pods, or small fish and shrimp, they all have their eyes on the lotus leaves.

Placing a bright green lotus leaf upside down on your head is the best way to block the sun.

Besides these, the ships also sell a variety of other things, including food, daily necessities, and even cosmetics.

It's like moving the shops from the street onto a ship.

"Hey!" Xie Qingyu was holding the lotus pod that Qing Shen had just bought. Seeing the child jumping off the bank, she instinctively exclaimed "Hey!" and reached out to cast a spell to pull the child up, but Qing Shen stopped her directly.

When Xie Qingyu looked over in confusion, she saw Qing Shen shaking his head at her and then pointing to the river.

After the children went into the river, they disappeared in a flash, like fish seeing water, and only resurfaced a short while later.

Xie Qingyu watched the tiny figure, barely taller than her own calves, frolicking in the river, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"The children here are born by the water, and they can swim even before they can walk." The children's laughter and chatter came from the water, and seeing the other adults around them looking at it as if it were nothing out of the ordinary, Xie Qingyu confirmed what Qing Shen had said.

"Buy a few lotus flowers! A woman as beautiful as you looks even more beautiful with flowers in her arms!" the woman in the water called out.

These words were spoken to Qing Shen.

Xie Qingyu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, clearly realizing that the way the two of them were walking together could easily lead to misunderstandings.

It's just that the people around them will probably feel awkward.

Xie Qingyu looked at Qing Shen with the intention of watching a show, but saw him head straight for his wife by the water.

When he returned, he was carrying several lotus flowers in his hand.
