Yama's Wedding
When the two awoke, it was already night. Yao Guang gazed at Xue's sleeping face and recalled how, in the illusion, she had once watched Xue sleep just like this, as if it were only yesterday. Reflecting on past events, Yao Guang felt as though she were in a different world. Was this person truly hers? He was the most beloved deity in heaven, the perfect husband in the hearts of many celestial maidens, the one she had long sought after for so many years. Now he was within her reach, just an arm's length away.
Yao Guang looked at Xue but hesitated to extend her hand. What if this was all just a dream? She could continue to deceive herself; even if it were a dream, it was the most beautiful dream Yao Guang had ever had. How could she bear to interrupt it? She couldn't let go.
"I'm awake." Xue's eyelashes fluttered as he opened his eyes and immediately saw Yao Guang staring at him with admiration. As he reached out to her, she quickly withdrew her hand. "What's wrong?" Xue asked, noticing Yao Guang's sudden retraction.
"Nothing," Yao Guang shook her head, signaling that she was fine.
In that instant, Xue suddenly understood Yao Guang's concern. He took hold of her recently withdrawn hand and said, "Silly. I'm right here beside you."
He understood! Yao Guang was pleasantly surprised to realize that Xue knew about her worries and insecurities. Though it was just a few short words, they miraculously comforted Yao Guang's heart. Yes, he was by her side. Regardless of the past or future, none of that mattered; what mattered now was that Xue was here with her. Yao Guang felt like a fool; all she had ever wanted was to be by Xue's side. Now that her wish had been fulfilled, why should she torment herself?
Seeing Yao Guang's expression, Xue didn't know why she had looked so worried when he first woke up, but now Yao Guang seemed calm.
"Yao Guang," Xue said as he supported her shoulders and guided her to sit directly in front of him.
"I've asked Xiao Yao Hao to announce your death to the outside world," Xue continued. After saying this, he looked at Yao Guang with some concern, fearing that she might blame him for declaring her death without reason.
Yao Guang was slightly taken aback by Xue's words but understood that he wouldn't say something like that without a good reason; there must be something important at stake. All she could do was not be a burden to him.
Seeing the unwavering trust in Yao Guang's eyes reassured Xue that she did not blame him. So he continued, "I discussed with Xiao Yao Hao that instead of waiting for Xiao Yao Yu to come looking for us, we should take the initiative. You were ambushed by Xiao Yao Yu and fell unconscious. Xiao Yao Hao has already sealed off the news, so no one knows you’ve awakened yet. By spreading the rumor of your death, Xiao Yao Yu will surely be unable to resist coming to investigate at Xiao Yao Villa. We can take this opportunity to capture him." Xue laid out the plan he had discussed with Xiao Yao Hao in detail.
"Xue, why don't you just use magic to find his whereabouts? Wouldn't that be more convenient?" Yao Guang felt that since Xiao Yao Yu was so cunning, it would be faster for Xue to directly use magic. Besides, Xiao Yao Yu had killed so many people; using magic would only be acting in accordance with the law.
"I did that before. My purpose for coming to the human world this time is to capture your soul and return it to the Underworld. I have promised the King of Hell that my goal in the human world is to mend your soul. I assured him that, except in special circumstances, I generally wouldn't use magic to interfere with human affairs. Moreover, casting spells in the human realm could lead to undesirable consequences," Xue explained.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. What do you need me to do?" Yao Guang didn't fully agree with Xue's reasoning, but he understood that Xue's actions were ultimately for his own good. After all, not using magic wasn't a big deal; Xue was highly skilled and could handle dangers without it. Furthermore, as a fugitive from the Underworld, he certainly couldn't draw too much attention in the human world, or it would attract the court's notice. Yao Guang had his own selfish motives; their relationship had been lukewarm until now, and spending so much time together on the road was a way for them to slowly understand each other better. Now that they were together, Yao Guang didn't want any extraneous people around them. Once they resolved this matter, he intended to return to a time when it was just the two of them.
"You don't need to do anything. Just stay in the room and wait. Once we resolve this matter and obtain the Solidifying Pearl, we can leave." Xue felt that he and Yao Guang had stayed at this villa long enough; it was time to go. In this regard, both Xue and Yao Guang thought alike.
"Okay." Yao Guang sensed that Xue also wanted to leave and nodded in agreement with his opinion. "Oh no." Suddenly, Yao Guang sprang up from Xue's embrace.
"What’s wrong?" Yao Guang's anxious demeanor made Xue feel a bit tense as well.
"Xue, since we returned, we haven't seen Liu Qing. She must be worried sick." Yao Guang recalled the gentle woman.
Xue also thought of Liu Qing; indeed, they hadn't seen her since returning. "Liu Qing... Yao Guang... actually..."
"What is it?" Yao Guang asked innocently.
Forget it, Xue sighed inwardly. Why should he tell Yao Guang at this moment? Liu Qing's disappearance was inevitable; let Yao Guang believe that she could be reincarnated. So he smiled and said to Yao Guang, "It's nothing. You just stay in your room tonight and don't come out no matter what happens. You can talk with Liu Qing. Don't worry; it will be over soon."
Yao Guang thought for a moment and felt that Xue should have no problem dealing with Xiao Yao Yu. Besides, there was also Xiao Yao Hao nearby. Although Xiao Yao Hao wasn't liked by Yao Guang, his skills were quite impressive. On the contrary, he felt that he would be the least useful here; if he followed along, he might become a burden to Xue. If he couldn't help out, he certainly couldn't become a hindrance either. Thinking this way, he realized he could take this opportunity to say goodbye to Liu Qing and share some whispered words with her. Thus, Yao Guang happily agreed with Xue's suggestion.
"Just remember to stay safe in your room and take good care of yourself," Xue habitually ruffled Yao Guang's hair.
"Yes."
