Chapter 185: Chapter 184: Zhou Yi in a Wedding Dress
"How is it? Do I look good?" Zhou Yi asked shyly, wearing a pure white wedding dress.
Qian Ran circled her several times, admiring her from every angle.
Her elegant, slender figure stood wrapped in white, with a beautiful face and radiant smile that could captivate anyone. The dress accentuated her smooth, fair shoulders, and her curves were perfectly highlighted, from her ample chest to her slender waist and down to her feet. She exuded an alluring, mature beauty that made it impossible for Qian Ran to look away.
Zhou Yi, in her youth, had been a celebrated figure at Shrek Academy. It was no small feat to be invited to teach there, as everyone knew only the most exceptional could stay.
She truly was stunning.
Her fair skin seemed even paler against the white wedding dress, as though it was carved from snow itself. Feeling Qian Ran's gaze, she shifted slightly, revealing her long, graceful legs through the slit in her dress. Her ivory-colored high heels completed the enchanting image.
At this moment, Zhou Yi looked not only beautiful but also carried a sense of purity.
Qian Ran felt a slight pang of guilt.
If it weren't for him, Zhou Yi would have remained an admirable, upstanding woman. But he had led her down a different path.
"You look amazing," Qian Ran complimented, admiration in his voice.
This sacred and elegant attire was typically reserved for a woman's most important occasion.
But here was Zhou Yi, wearing it just for him, without a hint of reservation.
"I want to marry you," Qian Ran said, half-jokingly, thinking it would be quite something to pull her close in that wedding dress.
"Really?"
Zhou Yi's face lit up with joy. She didn't need him to marry her; she only wanted a place in his heart. Even a little love from him would be enough. She had fallen for this mischievous young man, and no matter how he treated her, she'd accept it. But who could truly be without selfish desires? Just a sliver of affection from him was all she wanted.
"Yes." Qian Ran nodded.
"But… I'm not worthy of you," Zhou Yi said with a self-deprecating smile.
Even if Qian Ran genuinely wanted to marry her, she would never agree. She was content to be the woman supporting him from the shadows, existing quietly in the background.
"What are you afraid of? We could ask Fan Yu to officiate the ceremony," Qian Ran said with a chuckle, recalling a similar storyline he'd read once. Was he becoming the villain?
"Impossible!" Zhou Yi laughed at the absurdity. Qian Ran had some audacity! Fan Yu would surely fight him if he ever found out.
It was enough that Qian Ran didn't actively avoid Fan Yu—after all, Fan Yu was always buried in his lab. Word was that Fan Yu was working on an eighth-level soul tool, a project that required about six months of dedicated study. At Shrek Academy's soul engineering department, with its limited resources, Fan Yu had to pioneer everything himself, from research to development, leaving him perpetually busy.
"You can disguise yourself, right? Just put on a mask Fan Yu hasn't seen before, maybe one that's a bit more attractive. At the end of the day, it'll still be our wedding night," Qian Ran said, pointing to the mask Zhou Yi had placed on the table. Once she put it on, no one could recognize her. If Qian Ran helped conceal her, she'd be even harder to detect.
"Huh?"
Zhou Yi's eyes widened. She suddenly realized that Qian Ran's plan might actually work. As long as she wasn't examined by a particularly powerful soul master, she could stay hidden. Imagining the scene made her feel a bit flustered.
Wouldn't that be unfair to Fan Yu? She almost felt a pang of guilt.
But then again…
Wouldn't that be like a small, secret wedding? It would fulfill one of her dreams. Qian Ran was such a rogue, always taking advantage of the good-hearted. Fan Yu was actually a decent guy, kind and straightforward.
"I'd be willing," Zhou Yi murmured, blushing.
How could she deny her lover's wishes? If Qian Ran wanted it, she'd bring down the stars and the moon if she could.
"Such a good girl, my dear little Zhou Yi," Qian Ran said, giving her a quick kiss on the cheek.
He was truly starting to develop feelings for Zhou Yi. She treated him with such devotion, and Qian Ran saw himself as someone with a conscience—he wouldn't mistreat her in the future.
He had powers that could even bring the dead back to life. He could eventually help Zhou Yi leave her past behind and sever any ties with Fan Yu.
As his strength grew, he knew these things might actually be within his reach.
So his attitude toward Zhou Yi had shifted; it was no longer just a casual fling. Even if she remained a close confidante, he valued her deeply. They got along exceptionally well, and Zhou Yi was always willing to bring his ideas to life.
No one else could match that.
Girls like Dong'er and her friends were still shy and reserved. Even Tang Ya and Jiang Nannan, though warm toward him, still held back.
Xian Lin'er was another matter entirely. She loved him deeply but controlled her feelings, never letting her desires get the better of her. To this day, she hadn't given herself to him fully. Xian Lin'er was like a more restrained version of Zhou Yi, pursuing his love without losing control.
But Zhou Yi was different. She would do anything for Qian Ran, and this made her irreplaceable in his eyes. Their time together was frequent enough to put her among the top three in his affections.
It was only natural. Who wouldn't want to spend time with such an obedient, devoted woman?
Being with Zhou Yi felt both thrilling and satisfying.
"I want to take a few photos," Qian Ran said, pulling a camera from his storage soul tool.
Zhou Yi wasn't new to this. Qian Ran had already taken plenty of pictures of her in different settings, sometimes savoring them alone afterward. Looking back on those moments added a special thrill.
They were trophies marking his conquest of this world.
"Alright," Zhou Yi replied, her face flushed, allowing him to capture her image.
Qian Ran pulled out a foldable sofa bed and arranged the background.
At first, he simply took photos of her standing or seated, but soon he began setting up more alluring, seductive poses. Sometimes she reclined, sometimes leaned sideways, even lying back with her head tilted off the edge of the sofa.
She was stunning.
Qian Ran felt that Zhou Yi's allure had reached an elite level among the women around him. There was something uniquely enchanting about a wedding dress.
