Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 16 Red String and Jade Pendant

"what……"

The girl entered the room and, seeing his mouth full of blood, immediately covered her mouth and gasped in shock.

"Brother Feng, what's wrong with you again?"

Luo Qingfeng lay on the bed, his nose and eyes swollen and bruised, and said, "I got beaten up."

Upon hearing this, Su Zhao'er clenched her little fists and said, "Who hit me? Tell Zhao'er, and Zhao'er will go and settle the score with him!"

Luo Qingfeng hissed in pain and said, "I didn't see it clearly."

He then offered an explanation: "I went to the bookstore today, and when I came back, I was suddenly surrounded by some thugs who robbed me of my money and beat me up. They hit my eyes first, so I didn't see clearly..."

Su Zhao'er stared at him with her dark eyes for a while, then suddenly asked, "Really? Could it be that Brother Feng doesn't want to marry Zhao'er and deliberately hit himself?"

Luo Qingfeng immediately said, "How could that be? I'm not stupid, how could I hit myself?"

Su Zhao'er stared at him without saying anything more.

Luo Qingfeng felt a little guilty and said, "Zhao'er, what I said is true. I do not want to marry you."

"oh."

Su Zhao'er said "Oh," and looked at him with a complicated expression.

a long time.

She slowly lowered her head, took out a red jade pendant from her bosom, and asked softly, "Brother Feng, do you still remember this jade pendant?"

Luo Qingfeng looked at the jade pendant in her hand, but had no memory of it.

He couldn't even remember her, let alone this jade pendant.

Su Zhao'er looked down at the red jade in her hand, her eyes gradually softening, and her youthful face filled with tenderness. She said softly, "Zhao'er was only nine years old then. When we were playing on the hillside, Brother Feng took out a red string and said it was left to you by your mother. You said that if you ever met someone you liked, you should use it as a token of love and tie it to that girl's ankle, then that girl wouldn't be able to run away..."

"After you finished speaking, you ignored my protests, forcibly took off my shoes and socks, tied that red string to my feet, and even took the opportunity to touch my feet. You said that Zhao'er would be yours from now on, and he could never run away..."

"And then, you stole Zhao'er's jade pendant..."

At this point, the girl's eyes were already brimming with tears: "Brother Feng, you swore back then that you would always carry this jade pendant with you... But last night I found it under the bed, and it was covered in dust..."

Luo Qingfeng looked dazed.

Did the two of them really have such an innocent childhood?

Strangely, at this moment, no memory of the two of them surfaced in his mind.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Su Zhao'er said, "Brother Feng, you regret it. You don't like Zhao'er anymore. You don't want to marry Zhao'er anymore, is that right?"

Luo Qingfeng remained silent, unsure how to respond.

"Is it because of Sister Wan'er?"

Su Zhao'er looked at him through teary eyes: "Sister Wan'er is prettier than me, gentler than me, and richer than me. She can support your studies and help you become a top scholar, right?"

Just as Luo Qingfeng was about to deny it, she cried again, "Even if it is, you can't abandon Zhao'er! Zhao'er can agree to let Brother Feng marry her too, even if it's as his principal wife, Zhao'er is willing! As long as Brother Feng doesn't dislike Zhao'er, doesn't abandon Zhao'er, sob sob..."

Luo Qingfeng stole glances at her, his guard remaining firmly in place.

That night in Linshan Village, he had personally witnessed the demon's spectacular performance.

"Bang!"

As he squinted and peeked, Su Zhao'er suddenly punched him in the eye with her little fist, crying, "You naughty girl!"

After saying that, she ran out of the room crying.

Luo Qingfeng covered her eyes, her eyes filled with little stars.

After a while.

Su Zhao'er stood at the door, wiping away her tears, and said, "Brother Feng, I'm asking you one last time, are you going to marry me tonight?"

Luo Qingfeng dared not further anger her, so he covered his eyes and sat up, saying, "Zhao'er, can we wait a little longer? I'm really not feeling well today, I..."

"When are you available? Is it tomorrow again?"

Before Luo Qingfeng could answer, she suddenly said calmly, "Alright, then tomorrow. Tomorrow, Zhao'er will give Brother Feng a surprise, a big surprise."

After saying that, she went back to her room and closed the door.

There was no further movement inside.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng suddenly felt uneasy.

A huge surprise?

Will it be another huge shock like the day we went to Linshan Village to pick up the bride?

No, he can't let his cousin's family be harmed!

He got up and hurriedly left his room, arriving at her door. He said to her, "Zhao'er, don't be angry. I'm almost fully recovered. I'll rest for another night, and I'll be fine tomorrow. We'll get married tomorrow, and there will be no further delays."

He made his decision.

If it's truly unavoidable, then we should really marry her tomorrow, appease her first, and then take the opportunity to leave the Song family with her, so as not to implicate my cousin's family.

Even if someone has to die, it will be him alone.

Of course, he will definitely try his best to survive.

The room was quiet for a moment, then the sound of a girl sobbing could be heard: "Really? Brother Feng really won't lie to Zhao'er anymore?"

Luo Qingfeng clenched his fist and said, "No, absolutely not. But, Zhao'er, I don't want any surprises. As long as you marry me, that will be my surprise."

"Brother Feng, are you sure you don't want a surprise?"

Luo Qingfeng quickly replied, "Confirmed."

He then added, "I'm already very happy about the wedding ceremony tomorrow. You can save the other surprises for later. That way, I'll be even more surprised."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Su Zhao'er said, "Alright then, let's surprise Brother Feng later."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Zi'er brought in dinner.

Before Luo Qingfeng could even call her, the door had already opened.

Su Zhao'er came out with red eyes, sniffing the air, and a greedy look on her face.

Zi'er looked at Luo Qingfeng in surprise and asked, "Young Master, what happened to your eyes and nose?"

"fine."

Luo Qingfeng didn't dare to say anything more.

When Zi'er saw that Su Zhao'er's eyes were also red from crying, she immediately realized that the two of them might have had a fight, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After finishing the meal.

Zi'er packed her things and left, while Luo Qingfeng used the excuse of needing to study to return to his room.

Feeling a bit bored, Su Zhao'er said, "I'm going to go talk to Sister Wan'er."

Luo Qingfeng's heart skipped a beat. Seeing that she was about to leave the courtyard, he quickly called out from the window, "Zhao'er, don't talk nonsense to Sister Wan'er. I have no improper thoughts about her. I only treat her as a sister."

"snort!"

Su Zhao'er ignored him, snorted, and went out.

Luo Qingfeng lingered by the window for a few more moments, not daring to waste any more time. He immediately took out the cultivation manual by the light and continued to memorize it.

Let's hurry up and practice!

If we don't break through soon, something really bad might happen.

Outside the window, night has fallen.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Zhao'er and Zi'er returned together.

Luo Qingfeng lay on the bed, pretending to be asleep.

Su Zhao'er came in, glanced at him, and then quietly left, closing the door behind her.

It was soon late at night.

After it had become completely quiet outside, Luo Qingfeng got out of bed and gently opened the window.

Moonlight streamed in through the window.

The night sky is dotted with stars.

Luo Qingfeng sat down by the window and closed his eyes.

Calm your mind, concentrate, and breathe.

Soon, he clearly sensed the burning star high in the sky.

In the sea of ​​mansions, that faintly shining star began to flicker slowly.

At the same time, a strange power flowed in from the Tongtian acupoint on the top of his head, down along the meridians, into his dantian, and into that faint starlight.

The sparks in the sea of ​​stars seemed to merge with a certain star in the heavens, and began to flicker in the same rhythm.

Luo Qingfeng soon felt a warm current of energy emanating from his body.

Then, all the internal organs began to warm up.

He entered a strange and mysterious realm, as if he had entered another world, a bizarre world full of flames.

Sparks are twinkling, and power is flowing in.

The chaotic and dim Fu Hai gradually began to brighten...

A night passed quietly.

When he awoke from his meditative state, the sky outside was already beginning to lighten.

My whole body feels warm and comfortable.

At that moment, he felt clear-headed and bright-eyed, and the whole world seemed to have become much clearer.

In the sea of ​​Fu.

The star was no longer faint; its light had become brighter.

But there was still a small corner that remained dark.

Just a little bit more!

He believed that he only needed one night to fully activate it and open up the inner world within his body!

Suddenly, those blue characters reappeared in his mind.

This time, there were actually two lines of text.

First line: [Process Thirty-Five]

Second line: [Progress in lighting up the starlight: 90]

"Is the process of activating the starlight?"

Luo Qingfeng was secretly surprised.

He naturally knew what that line of text meant.

But what does it mean that the process in the first line appears earliest?

As he was pondering this, he suddenly heard a sigh coming from the next room.

In the past, he definitely wouldn't have been able to hear.

"She's awake?"

Thinking of that girl, his heartstrings tightened again.

I hesitated for a moment.

He climbed out of the window and then quietly walked along the corner of the corridor to the window of the next room.

The window wasn't completely closed; there was still a small gap in the middle.

At this time, the night had not completely receded, and it was still dark outside.

He quietly approached the window, peering cautiously through the crack into the room.

The room was pitch black.

A figure with long, flowing hair, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, sat motionless in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror.

Suddenly, she sighed softly again.

Then, she raised her hand, pinched her chin, and began to slowly tear something.

It's just a shell!

At that moment, Luo Qingfeng opened his eyes wide, his heart almost stopping.

suddenly!

The figure slowly turned its head and looked towards the window...
