In the Wu tribe, marriage is not complicated.

Generally speaking, once two people have fallen for each other, obtained the consent of their elders, worshipped the shaman god, and drunk the "Five Poisons United in Heart" wine, they can proceed with the wedding ceremony!

The wedding ceremony, also known as the bridal chamber, is what we commonly refer to as the wedding night.

The girl, dressed in a shimmering blue shawl, adorned with colorful clothes, silver and gold, walked gracefully over, her figure light and slender; the string of small bells that she never parted from her waist jingled and swayed.

Li Xingzhi was stunned for a moment as he watched the graceful young woman walk towards him.

The girl before me was no longer the innocent-looking, sweet-voiced little girl from just a few days ago. It seemed as if several years had passed quickly on her; the once unripe apple had suddenly grown up and ripened!

The youthful energy that was originally there was now overshadowed by a subtle hint of mature charm, creating an atmosphere that was both alluring and ambiguous, leaving one unable to quite understand or let go of the past.

The young girl, her long skirt trailing behind her, sat down beside the small table where the beautiful woman had sat. A graceful curve of her skirt swept across Li Xingzhi's eyes—

Li Xingzhi felt a sudden tremor and immediately sat up straight, no longer daring to look around.

Although the young girl was still somewhat naive as she walked, she subtly exuded the air of a noblewoman, and her charming figure made one's heart race.

The girl blushed at this moment.

Her small feet trembled slightly as she gently lowered them, her eyes downcast, unable to meet the other person's gaze.

The room fell silent, and an inexplicable atmosphere filled the space between the two.

"Eek—" The girl was playing with the hem of her skirt when she suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"what happened?"

Thinking something had happened, Li Xingzhi quickly leaned closer.

Just then, the girl heard Li Xingzhi's voice and looked up—

"ah--"

A small accident made the atmosphere in the room even more ambiguous, and the membrane that seemed to be separating them was broken at this moment.

"Brother Li, let me pour you some wine." The girl blushed and didn't dare to look at Li Xingzhi. She just took the small wine jar and poured a small cup for Li Xingzhi. "This was buried by my grandmother when I was little!" she said, her almond-shaped eyes full of hope as she looked at Li Xingzhi.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Li Xingzhi quickly grabbed the cup and was about to drink it.

"Brother Li!"

His hand was only halfway up in the air when he was stopped by the girl's reproachful tone.

"My mother-in-law said that the first time you drink alcohol, you should drink with someone!" As she spoke, her face flushed even more, and her eyes sparkled, almost overflowing with tears.

"Uh—" Li Xingzhi looked at the small glass of wine in his hand with some embarrassment, not knowing how to drink it.

At this moment, the girl seemed to realize Li Xingzhi's embarrassment. She brought her pretty face, which could be both happy and angry, closer and pressed it tightly against Li Xingzhi's face, her lips also pressed together. She took the wine glass from Li Xingzhi's hand and poured it between their lips, which then slid into their mouths.

Li Xingzhi inhaled the girl's faint fragrance and felt the smooth, soft texture on his face. Besides a sudden surge of inexplicable joy, he also felt somewhat embarrassed—having read countless films in his past life, he was completely flustered when it came to putting them into practice, and now a girl had to take the initiative to come to him. It was truly...

He smacked his lips, the taste was faint, and he couldn't really taste anything, only feeling the delicate fragrance and smoothness on his lips and that touch of captivating emotion.

The girl looked at the man clicking his tongue and blushed shyly, her face turning red to her earlobes. In her heart, she was secretly annoyed, never knowing that Brother Li was such a lazy person.

Li Xingzhi was unaware that his unintentional actions had offended the beauty, and he was still savoring that moment of tenderness.

The girl looked at Li Xingzhi's dazed expression and cursed him inwardly, "Idiot!" The blush on her face spread even further down to her neck!

It took Li Xingzhi a long time to come to his senses. He felt a little embarrassed seeing the girl beside him waiting for so long.

"What should we do next?" Li Xingzhi asked blankly.

He really didn't know what the wedding rites of this witch tribe were like, and no one had ever told him.

The girl rolled her eyes at Li Xingzhi and said stiffly, "Let's eat!"

Her little cheeks puffed out as she glared fiercely at Li Xingzhi. She was completely helpless against this blockhead in front of her!

Li Xingzhi was stunned again when he saw the girl's appearance. The little bit of mature charm on the girl's body instantly crumbled under her unintentional expression, leaving behind only the pure and lovely Yue'er.

Li Xingzhi suddenly felt relieved, unlike before when he was somewhat at a loss.

He picked up the bamboo chopsticks and began to pick up food from the small dishes in front of him—

Only then did Li Xingzhi see clearly what was on the plate in front of him: a plate of deep-fried scorpions.

Li Xingzhi moved his hand away from the fried scorpions, noticing a cluster of centipedes. He then moved it to the left, only to find a bowl of toads. He quickly pulled his hand back, noticing segments of oily, greasy tails under the chopsticks—they were gecko tails. Finally, he looked hopefully into the large bowl and found a stewed snake inside. He breathed a sigh of relief!

Although he didn't particularly like eating snakes, he had finally found something he could swallow.

Li Xingzhi looked up at the girl beside him.

The girl was probably starving. She picked up a large scorpion with her chopsticks and started chewing it. "Crunch crunch~", a series of crisp sounds came from the girl's mouth. In just a few bites, the venomous scorpion with its fangs bared and tail wagging was swallowed by the girl in front of her.

The girl seemed oblivious to the stares of those around her, or perhaps she was just too hungry, and began to eat heartily as if no one else was watching.

"Hey—Brother Li, why aren't you eating!"

"Yue'er, eat as much as you like. Brother Li isn't used to the food!" Li Xingzhi said with a stiff face and a forced smile.

"Brother Li, did you know that Yue'er likes to eat this, so you left it all for Yue'er? Brother Li is so good to Yue'er!" The girl seemed to feel Li Xingzhi's kindness towards her, and her heart was filled with sweetness. She even put a large scorpion on her chopsticks into Li Xingzhi's bowl.

Li Xingzhi felt a pang of bitterness in his heart and quickly stopped the girl's actions...

In a corner of the room, a jet-black eye was watching the scene unfold before it...

The shaman, in the next room, watched the young boy and girl in another room, her expression shifting. She seemed to have returned to her own innocent youth. The Han Chinese girl sitting next to the first girl looked so much like the one from that day!

She stared blankly at the young couple sitting at the table, her face, which had been radiating a warm smile, suddenly contorting into a grimace! A dark light flickered in her eyes, and in an instant, blackness filled her entire gaze—

"Yue'er, Grandma will never let anyone hurt you again..."
