Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 489

In Gu Xu's memory, Shi Xiaohan was always a carefree and confident girl.

She seems to be glowing with a very contagious dazzling light at any time - no matter where she goes, she can dispel the haze and make people temporarily forget the depression in their hearts.

But now, after experiencing the teasing of fate, her originally pure and innocent eyes were mixed with troubles, sorrows, and inferiority complex.

Like the jewels on the crown covered with dust, and like the flowers in the greenhouse drooping after being wet by wind and rain.

"Don't belittle yourself, Xiaohan," Gu Xu sighed, and patted Shi Xiaohan's back lightly, "You'll never imagine how cute you are in my eyes—when you were in that place in Yishui County, When the rainy morning came towards me, even your fingertips were glowing with beautiful colors.

"If talking about marriage is only based on cultivation, then I might as well give the dowry to Chief Luo or Taishang Haotianxia.

"In this matter, after all, I am sorry for you—"

"No," Shi Xiaohan interrupted him in a low voice, "my father has broken the engagement. Even if you abandon me now, I have no right to accuse you.

"I really thought about it before, would you go to the northern border, and after you have a stable home, leave me here and completely forget about it.

"Now seeing that you still miss me and are willing to risk being arrested by the court to come here to see me, I am really happy and content.

"Besides, you will rule the world in the future. Throughout the ages, which emperor would have only one woman by his side? I don't want to get a bad reputation of being pampered, jealous, and ignorant."

Gu Xu narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her for a long time.

"The Xiaohan I knew in the past was not so generous," he said slowly, "You must have been taken away by someone, right?"

Shi Xiaohan rubbed his wet eyes: "In the past, this heroine didn't know that her fiancé would be the reincarnation of Emperor Ziwei, or the leader of the anti-thief in Dahuang. He always dreamed of killing the emperor and overthrowing Daqi. That little-known official in Yishui County, I will lock you up in the house and make cookies every day, and I will beat anyone who wants to snatch you away."

Hearing this, Gu Xu understood that Shi Xiaohan was not really jealous at all - she was just afraid that if she held him too tightly, she would lose him completely.

Especially after her family unilaterally repented of the marriage, Gu Xuxiu's base has improved by leaps and bounds, and the two people's strengths and conditions have become more and more unequal.

In order to keep him, she chose to compromise.

After a short period of silence, Shi Xiaohan suddenly got up from Gu Xu's arms, used his real energy to cut off a strand of his hair, and a strand of his own temple, then took out a red string from his pocket, and tied them together.

"Gu Xu, is your marriage certificate still there?"

"Of course it's still there."

While talking, Gu Xu had a thought, and took out another copy of the marriage certificate from "Xianyunju". When they got engaged, after the matchmaker wrote the marriage certificate, they made two copies, and both the man and the woman pressed their fingerprints and kept them separately.

Shi Xiaohan's share was thrown into the raging fire of the fireplace by Shi Lei.

Gu Xu's is still intact.

"Gu Xu, if Luojing City hadn't been breached by ghosts that day, and you hadn't been wanted by Emperor Tianxing, then we should be husband and wife by now, right?"

"That's right," Gu Xu sighed softly, "I should have married you into my family long ago."

"Then tonight, let's be husband and wife." Shi Xiaohan walked around to the side of the chair and stuffed the black hair tied together with a red string into his hands, "After tonight, I don't know when I will see you again .”

"In my heart, we are already husband and wife."

"What I'm trying to say is, be a real couple."

While talking, Shi Xiaohan reached out and gently took off the wooden hairpin on her head, her thick black hair like a dark cloud scattered, and fell down to her waist like a waterfall, making her skin even fairer.

"According to the book, isn't it a real couple after the wedding ceremony?"

Gu Xu saw a faint blush on her face, as bright and moving as if she had applied rouge.

He stood up and took her hand.

"It's really not like you to be so active."

He knew that Shi Xiaohan was afraid that he would never return, so he wanted to give himself to him tonight without leaving any regrets.

Shi Xiaohan turned his head to avoid his sight, his face flushed even more red: "It's fine if you don't want to. Do you think I really want to do those things with you, a villain?"

"Why don't you want to?" Gu Xu chuckled, "Since I got engaged to you, I have been thinking all the time, how to eat you on the wedding night, whether to steam it or braise it in soy sauce, in order to enjoy the ultimate tasty.

"But not tonight."

"Why?" Shi Xiaohan was a little puzzled.

Gu Xu thought for a while and replied: "I don't want to spend your first night in this dilapidated thatched hut. Only a thousand-work bed with red lacquer and gold is worthy of you.

"Besides, for my sake, the Great Qi court must have sent someone to spy on you.

"Now I can block their investigation on the causal level. But if you break your body, you can't hide it from them. They will definitely find out the connection between you and me. This is extremely important to you and your family. Adverse."

"Oh." Shi Xiaohan bit his lip, and lowered his head in some disappointment.

Gu Xu bent down slightly again, and took her into his arms.

"It's getting late, I have to leave," he whispered in her ear, "Xiaohan, you have to take care, stay in Jiange well, don't do stupid things, wait until I come back to marry you.

"Remember, I still owe you a grand wedding that everyone is looking forward to."

After finishing speaking, he let go of her, took a few steps back, and disappeared into the space crack without a sound.

Shi Xiaohan stood there, staring blankly at the place where he disappeared, only feeling that what happened just now seemed to be her own hallucination—it was not until she raised her hand and touched the short strand of hair at the temple that she realized that Gu Xu really been here.

The moment Gu Xu was about to leave, she really wanted to say: "You take me away, I will accompany you to fight the world."

But in the end she didn't say it out loud.

On the one hand, she understands that she is too weak, so she might not be able to help him if she goes there, and instead become a burden to him.

On the other hand, she not only has lovers, but also relatives.

Her father was in awe of the power of Emperor Tianxing, so it was impossible for her father to betray the court and join Gu Xu's rebellious camp.

If she just left, then all family members, including her father, would most likely be implicated and charged with treason.

If it is light, the official will be deposed and exiled, and if it is serious, the nine clans will be killed.

"Gu Xu, you have to take care too," she walked to the window, folded her hands together, and said silently while looking at the star-studded sky, "I'll wait for your safe return, and we'll be a real husband and wife."
