His every move exuded an aura of solemnity and majesty, as if he were born to be high above, looking down on all living beings.

That dark brocade robe was like the most dazzling star in the night sky, faintly shimmering with a mysterious and profound light.

This demonstrates his inherent composure, restraint, and dignified demeanor.

His profile, with its sharply defined features, resembled a fine sculpture.

Every line and every undulation is perfectly placed, inspiring awe and prompting endless contemplation.

Just then, he slowly turned around and gazed at her with a calm and serene look.

A slight smile played at the corners of his lips, revealing a deep and affectionate expression, as he spoke softly:

"Yao'er has arrived, making her husband wait for so long."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xingyao smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes seeming to hold a thousand emotions.

She moved gracefully to the table, sat down, and softly replied:

"You recite this incantation so fluently, are you planning to come here every night to perform it?"

Even so, my heart is filled with joy.

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuxiao first chuckled softly, then extended his long, strong hand.

He gently took her soft, boneless little hand and guided her to sit down opposite him.

Then, he personally placed a carefully cooked steak steadily on the table and pushed it in front of her.

He asked softly, "Does Yao'er wish for her husband to come and keep her company every day?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xingyao's face flushed with a shy blush, as enchanting as the clouds reflected in the sunset.

She glanced at him reproachfully, then smiled softly:

"The Regent is becoming more and more like a frivolous person!"

Upon seeing this, Jun Jiuxiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, his laughter low and steady.

After laughing, his gaze remained firmly fixed on the beautiful woman before him, and he spoke in a steady yet deeply affectionate tone:

"If I could marry Yao'er, what would it matter if I were considered a frivolous person?"

Chu Xingyao knew in her heart that no matter what she did, she would find it difficult to win an argument against the eloquent man in front of her.

So she chose to stop arguing and reluctantly compromised:

"Your Excellency is eloquent and persuasive, and I am ashamed to admit that I cannot argue with you."

Seeing her reaction, Jun Jiuxiao chuckled softly again, then leaned close to her ear and whispered:

"Then I wonder if Yao'er likes my tongue?"

The warm breath he exhaled as he spoke gently brushed against her earlobe, causing Chu Xingyao to shudder.

Her cheeks instantly turned as red as the sunset.

Chu Xingyao knew that she could not win against him in words.

She glared at him reproachfully, then simply remained silent.

He then lowered his head and focused on enjoying the steak he had carefully cut.

To be fair, this person was indeed somewhat annoying at the moment.

But it must be admitted that the steak he cooks is absolutely delicious.

Chu Xingyao had already finished washing up and had no appetite.

Ultimately, she couldn't resist the temptation of the food, and before she knew it, her plate was empty.

Looking at the empty plate in front of her, Chu Xingyao couldn't help but feel worried.

She thought to herself that if she indulged her appetite like this, she would probably lose her figure soon.

By then, the exquisite wedding dress she had been longing for would probably no longer fit her.

However, Jun Jiuxiao seemed to know her thoughts perfectly well.

He could always accurately perceive every thought and idea deep in her heart.

He calmly took a delicate rosewood box from beside him.

The wooden box has a unique design, featuring the structural characteristics of the ancient Luban lock.

It also incorporates elements of modern combination locks that are unlocked by turning Arabic numerals.

Jun Jiuxiao, holding a wooden box, solemnly handed it to Chu Xingyao and said slowly:

"Yao'er, this is a precious treasure chest left by my mother."

"She once said that the trunk contained a beautiful wedding dress specially prepared for her future daughter-in-law."

After speaking, he paused briefly, then gazed deeply into Chu Xingyao's eyes and continued:

"Moreover, my mother also told me the password to open this treasure chest—'I love you for all eternity'."

"But when I looked closely, I found only some strange symbols on it, and I couldn't find the words we were looking for at all!"

“I’ve seen those symbols in your books before, so I’m confident you’ll be able to solve them…”

Before Jun Jiuxiao could finish speaking, a crisp "crack" was heard.

The box, which was originally tightly closed, was opened so easily.

In that instant, a hint of surprise flashed in Jun Jiuxiao's eyes, who had been calm and composed all along.

However, this surprise was fleeting and was soon replaced by a deep emotion.

At this moment, he became even more convinced of his own idea—

His beloved Yao'er and his revered mother must have come from the same mysterious and distant place.

That place is called Blue Star Earth, and it belongs to the country of China.

Jun Jiuxiao stared at Chu Xingyao before him, his expression grave, and said in a deep voice:

"Yao'er, how did you know the combination to this box? Was it really that easy to guess?"

Chu Xingyao smiled slightly, her dimples appearing and disappearing, and said softly:

"In China, 'I love you forever' is a romantic homophone for the Chinese phrase 'I love you forever'."

"Among them, '521' sounds like 'I love you' and '1314' sounds like 'forever'."

"This way of expression is concise yet deeply affectionate."

"It is very popular among young people and is often used to convey love and romance."

Upon hearing this, Jun Jiuxiao's gaze deepened. He slowly grasped Chu Xingyao's hand and whispered:

"So this code is not a coincidence, but a predestined fate."

"Yao'er, you and my mother both come from that magical land,"

"No wonder I always felt so compatible with you. This connection is perhaps an arrangement of fate."

Chu Xingyao nodded slightly, a hint of tenderness in her eyes:

"Perhaps it really is fate. I never imagined that one day I would come here and meet you."

As she spoke, Chu Xingyao took a deep breath and then slowly stretched out her hands.

I carefully opened the wooden box that exuded an antique feel.

As the lid was fully opened, a dazzling red light instantly shone on her beautiful face.

Upon closer inspection, a set of bright red phoenix coronet and wedding gown, as vibrant as blood and exquisitely beautiful, lay quietly inside the box.

However, unlike the common traditional phoenix coronet and embroidered robe,

This wedding dress is uniquely decorated with bright red lace.

It is also cleverly paired with the rare fabric, shimmering brocade.

Together, they created a dreamlike train that is about five meters long.

The train of this dress resembles a red lotus blooming in the dark night, with each hem radiating a mysterious glow.

It is not only covered with sparkling diamonds.

Furthermore, numerous teardrop-shaped diamonds, resembling morning dew, are inlaid in a staggered and orderly manner.

These diamonds shimmered and sparkled under the light, emitting a dazzling brilliance.

This made the entire wedding dress shine as if it were surrounded by stars.
