Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams-Chapter 334 - 197: One Year

Shen Chonghong flicked the long spear aside with a finger, then continued walking toward the bridal sedan.

Senior Brother Ruan gathered his thoughts, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his hand secretly tightened around the spear, and a hint of spiritual power emerged on his body surface.

Sensing the spiritual power behind him, Shen Chonghong slowly turned his head and looked at him, saying, "Today is my wedding day with Hong Xiu, so I don’t want to recklessly use weapons and taint the joy."

"But if you dare to strike again, a bloodstained bridal gown and wedding robe could be another kind of romance."

Senior Brother Ruan saw the killing intent in his eyes, and his heart seemed to skip a beat.

Compared to Shen Chonghong, he was a true playboy, growing up under the protection of his family.

Even when occasionally going out to train, it was always under the guidance of elders, choosing demon beasts far below his realm to practice on, never having experienced true life-and-death battles.

Shen Chonghong was different.

Since he was eleven or twelve, he had been dispatched to the mountains to train, leading Shen Family Soldiers against demon beasts year-round.

Regarding cultivation, although Shen Chonghong was the direct son of Patriarch Shen, his cultivation resources were only equivalent to normal Immortal Sect disciples, without special privileges.

His True Essence Spiritual Power had been cultivated entirely through his own efforts.

Although his realm was only Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, when it came to actual combat, Shen Chonghong was confident he could defeat this Hundred Refinements Valley youth within ten moves.

He just didn’t want to engage now.

Senior Brother Ruan tightly gripped the long spear in his hand, staring intently at Shen Chonghong, struggling within himself before ultimately lacking the courage to continue.

When Shen Chonghong had flicked his spear aside earlier, he had felt the strength of Shen Chonghong’s True Essence.

Moreover, Shen Chonghong’s gaze reminded him of the fear he felt when, following his grandfather out to train, a Fetal Breathing Realm Wolf Demon had targeted him.

Senior Brother Ruan sat on horseback, his face grim, watching that hateful man walk slowly to the bridal sedan.

The curtain was lifted, and Shen Chonghong leaned down to look at Xiao Hongxiao inside the sedan.

Meeting his gaze, Xiao Hongxiao shyly lowered her head, then apologetically said, "Sorry, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Chonghong extended his hand.

Xiao Hongxiao hesitated slightly, then sweetly placed her soft hand in his palm, intending to step out of the sedan.

However, Shen Chonghong gently pulled her, directly holding her in his arms.

"You..." Xiao Hongxiao’s beautiful eyes widened, her pretty face turning bright red.

"There is a rule in Yangnao Land that a bride’s feet must not touch the ground on the way, it’s considered unlucky."

Shen Chonghong smiled softly, then carried her toward the nearby tall horse.

Arriving at the horse, he placed Xiao Hongxiao on its back, then mounted, holding Xiao Hongxiao in his arms, and addressed the Hundred Refinements Valley entourage:

"You’ve come from afar, and it’s been a tiresome journey, please join me at the manor for some wedding wine."

The wedding party exchanged glances, then all looked at Senior Brother Ruan.

Senior Brother Ruan glared at the couple with resentment, lacking the face to go to the Shen Family for wine, he coldly shouted, "Go!"

Seeing this, Shen Chonghong narrowed his eyes but said nothing further.

As the auspicious time approached, the couple rode the horse into the small woodland.

"Senior Sister!"

Upon seeing them, Sun Xiaomao greeted them with a smile, then curiously asked, "Where are Senior Brother Ruan and the others?"

Xiao Hongxiao’s expression dimmed slightly: "They went back."

"Xiao Mao, let’s discuss this later. The auspicious hour is near, we should head to the Shen Family first."

Shen Chonghong dismounted, and once again picked her up, placing her back into the prepared bridal sedan.

"Lift the sedan!"

The old servant accompanying them shouted, and the wedding party slowly turned toward Yunshui City, with music blaring and a lively procession.

At the manor gates.

Shen Chongming was pacing anxiously until he saw the large entourage approaching from the mountain, at which point he finally sighed in relief.

"Little rascal, you made it on time after all."

The wedding party arrived at the manor gates; Shen Chonghong dismounted and greeted with a smile:

"Big brother."

Shen Chongming nodded, frowning slightly: "Why such a delay?"

The wedding details had long been agreed upon by both families, including the specific timing.

Yet, they nearly missed the auspicious hour.

Shen Chonghong turned to see Xiao Hongxiao being escorted into the courtyard by several maidservants, then smiled lightly: "There was a minor incident, which I’ve already resolved."

Shen Chongming nodded, choosing not to pursue the matter further.

"Alright, go inside now, it’s almost time."

By evening, the bustling Shen Family Manor gradually returned to calm.

In the back hall, Shen Yuan and his wife sat at the head table, with Shen Wenxing and Huang Lingxiu beside them.

The rest of the Shen Family members stood neatly on either side.

Shen Chonghong and Xiao Hongxiao walked side by side, respectfully kneeling to serve tea and change the forms of address.

After Hu Yufen introduced her to a multitude of siblings and sisters-in-law, the newlyweds returned to their new home.

At the bed draped with red silk curtains, Xiao Hongxiao shyly and nervously removed her embroidered shoes, gently placing them on top of Shen Chonghong’s shoes.

"What is this for?"

Shen Chonghong hung his red and gold wedding robe beside them, turning around to see this scene.

Xiao Hongxiao lowered her head, speaking softly: "I heard there’s a rule in Yangnao Land that doing this means you can’t bully me in the future..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Chonghong paused, then laughingly shook his head, extinguishing the pair of red candles on the table, and slowly walked toward the bed.
