I Only Marry Widows

Lu Chengfeng watched Zhu Yuxian, as if something had shattered in his heart, and he just stared at her blankly.

"Come on!" Zhu Yuxian slowly stood up, walked forward, and took Lu Chengfeng's hand proactively.

At the moment their fingertips touched, Lu Chengfeng's heartbeat was completely chaotic, like being embraced tightly, with an indescribable warmth and thrill.

Zhu Yuxian's fingers were slightly cool, while Lu Chengfeng's palm was very hot. Their hands held together, somehow naturally intertwined fingers.

Standing atop the mountain, looking at the dawn imbued with purple aura, pale golden sunlight spilled from the clouds, dyeing the sky with splendid colors, the sun was about to rise.

"Repeat after me." Zhu Yuxian's voice was calm and ethereal, reverberating with the cold wind on the mountaintop.

"Okay." Lu Chengfeng lost all thoughts in his mind, just staring blankly at her side profile, beautiful, moving.

"I, Zhu Yuxian."

"I, Lu Chengfeng."

"Today, we become husband and wife, with heaven and earth as witnesses, and the sun and moon as matchmakers, willing to unite in heart..."

"Today, we become husband and wife, with heaven and earth as witnesses, and the sun and moon as matchmakers, willing to unite in heart, never to abandon each other until old age." Lu Chengfeng said firmly, adding the phrase Zhu Yuxian intentionally left out.

Zhu Yuxian glanced at him, saying nothing more.

Lu Chengfeng, however, tightened his grip on her hand and softly said, "A bow to heaven and earth."

Zhu Yuxian paused, but still bowed down with him.

"Second bow to the family patriarchs."

Lu Chengfeng led Zhu Yuxian, bowing toward Youdu, Zhu Yuxian sighed but still bent her body.

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

Their eyes met, and Zhu Yuxian inexplicably felt a bit flustered, many past events uncontrollably surfacing before her eyes.

Lu Chengfeng looked at her with unwavering eyes, bowing slowly.

Zhu Yuxian had thought she'd be very calm, treating this as just a transaction to help a disciple, but...

When they held hands and bowed to heaven and earth together, she suddenly felt an indescribable reverence, as if some divine being was watching them, witnessing for them.

Clearly, it was just a simple, almost ludicrous ceremony, yet it made her feel a solemnity and sincerity that defied description.

As Lu Chengfeng bowed, it took Zhu Yuxian a long while to sigh, then close her eyes, and finally bowed to him.

They stood up, Zhu Yuxian's eyelids slightly lowered, not looking at Lu Chengfeng.

"From now on, we are husband and wife."

Lu Chengfeng spoke softly.

Zhu Yuxian frowned slightly, "You..."

"You promised me, three days." Lu Chengfeng said, "A promise is a promise."

Zhu Yuxian felt she was in a self-spun cocoon, but at this moment could only awkwardly admit, "I certainly won't go back on my word."

Lu Chengfeng smiled, "That's good, my lady, can you call me?"

"Hmm?" Zhu Yuxian was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted, "Aren't you pushing it?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at her, "With heaven and earth as witnesses, and the sun and moon as matchmakers, willing to unite in heart, never to abandon each other until old age... Master, are you treating this as child's play? As long as you and I haven't formally separated, then you are my wife, my legitimate wife."

Zhu Yuxian, for the first time, found her own disciple troublesome. In the past, Xun Shuijing only stayed beside her obediently, never daring to overstep.

But Lu Chengfeng's little schemes and tricks came one after another, always having justifications that were quite vexing.

"It's settled, just three days!"

Lu Chengfeng replied, "Indeed, as such."

Zhu Yuxian took a deep breath, turned her face away, not looking at him, and said through gritted teeth, "Husband."

As soon as she spoke, Lu Chengfeng felt a burst of golden light bloom at the center of his brow, so dazzling it seemed like a great sun was rising there, radiating brilliant light, surrounded by fierce flames.

He suddenly felt a splitting headache, as if his entire head was going to be torn apart, a soul-deep pain erupted, and in a daze, he seemed to see a five-colored divine light engulfing him like a tide.

Boom!

Lu Chengfeng instantly lost all consciousness.

This awakening gift was so sudden, so intense, even the previous gift from the Zhao Family Ancestor had never caused Lu Chengfeng to straight-up lose consciousness.

Beside him, Zhu Yuxian saw Lu Chengfeng suddenly about to fall straight to the ground, instinctively reached her hand out to catch him, but halfway thought, what if this guy is playing tricks, wanting to snuggle into her arms?

Zhu Yuxian hesitated a moment, and then Lu Chengfeng thudded to the ground.

Her expression changed immediately, she quickly approached to check him carefully, explored with True Qi and Law Intent, then slightly sighed in relief.

"Suddenly exhausted like this, almost to depletion, what is going on?"

"Could he really be practicing some Qimen cultivation technique?"

At this point, Zhu Yuxian had no choice but to believe it, as they were standing together just fine, Lu Chengfeng suddenly passed out from exhaustion, claiming it wasn't due to practicing some special cultivation technique would be even more peculiar.

Carefully picking Lu Chengfeng up, then using Lightweight Technique, she walked down the mountain.

...

At this moment, Lu Chengfeng's consciousness fully immersed in the gift from Xun Shuijing, relating to the Half-Step Celestial Human Realm gift, indeed no memory fragments would appear, as was the case this time as well.

Lu Chengfeng's mind seemed to meld with a ray of Five-Colored Sword Light, interwoven densely with countless runes, each containing the profound meaning of the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword.
