Chapter 28

The autumn wind in the morning carried a few dead leaves through the courtyard and landed at Li Cheng's feet.

He looked down in silence, and then suddenly remembered a copy he had seen in Moments in his previous life:
Life is like duckweed, but you can't help yourself.

The reason why Xiang Yi married him is actually very simple. It can be explained in just two words:
forced marriage.

Li Cheng never expected that young Xiao Yi would also be trapped in such a hot topic during the New Year.

And the ones who forced her into marriage were two men... Oh no, one of them might not even be human.

Literally.

These two men are Xiang Yi's biological father and adoptive father respectively.

If it was just an ordinary old father urging marriage, it wouldn't be like this.

But the problem is that Xiang Yi's two fathers have a slightly special status.

The former is the regent of the demon clan who commands the six major tribes in the grassland. He is extremely noble and claims to control hundreds of thousands of people.

The latter is an old acquaintance of Li Cheng, his second uncle, His Majesty the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty.

There are two dads who stand at the top of the pyramid and have extremely strong personalities.

If Xiang Yi can still be free from control and take charge of her own marriage, then having children with paper is indeed a daydream.

But after all, there are government orders and countermeasures.

Xiang Yi's idea was to kill her first and then find someone to be her husband.

Of course, this person cannot be too weak, he must at least have some outstanding strengths.

Otherwise, it would be easy for her two fathers to look down upon her and destroy her physically.

It started with a coincidence in the Water Curtain Cave, and Xiang Yi considered it over and over again, and finally regarded Li Cheng as the right candidate.

Frankly speaking, the risk factor for Xiang Yi to be a husband is actually very high.

If you offend any father-in-law, he will be reduced to a grasshopper in the future, and you will die anyway.

Xiang Yi knew this very well from the beginning.

But she used various reasons to convince herself that she could ensure Li Cheng's safety.

However, after these few days of getting along, her mentality quietly changed and she became worried about gains and losses.

He neither wants to hide his secrets anymore, nor does he want to put Li Cheng in danger.

Xiang Yi also found it hard to understand why he, who had always had no regrets, became so unstable in just a few days.

Late at night, Xiao Yi smiled half-heartedly and expressed Xiang Yi's inner thoughts.

Hearing this, Li Cheng remained silent, but his heart was touched.

This may only be possible because of one word or word:

Love.

like.

Only when you like someone will you worry about them.

And Xiang Yi is still the girl who is cold on the outside, but a little fragile on the inside.

After all, she couldn't tell Li Cheng this calmly.

So, what happened last night happened.

Then there was the conversation the two had just had.

……

……

Li Cheng, who had been thinking for a long time, came to his senses and picked up the dead leaves on the ground.

After getting up and throwing it outside the house, he looked at the eaves with mottled light in front of him, his expression very calm.

People are always changing.

If he had known these secrets when he first came to the courtyard, he would have considered it carefully and decided whether to run away overnight.

But now, especially after knowing his wife's inner thoughts through Xiaoyi.

Although he still assessed the situation as usual, he had no intention of leaving.

Through Xiao Yi's description, he knew that Xiang Yi was in a dangerous state at this time.

The other party was born with a nightmare, which can be understood as some kind of rare cultivation physique.

The advantage is that your body and appearance are loved by heaven and earth, and your practice speed is thousands of miles away.

The price is that once the nightmare loses control, her sanity will be completely swallowed up by it.

At that time, no matter which personality it is, it will return to chaos.

Previously, with the help of the power of Kunlun Secret Realm, Xiang Yi forcibly unlocked the shackles in his body and used secret methods to break through the realm and enter the fifth level.

This also caused the nightmare to lose control and reach a fatal situation.

Right now, only a certain treasure nearby can temporarily suppress the nightmare in her body.

Otherwise, maybe after a year and a half, Xiang Yi will become a sleeping beauty without consciousness.

The word "Sleeping Beauty" was spoken metaphorically by Xiaoyi at night.

But in Li Cheng's eyes, this piece of shit Sleeping Beauty is just a pure vegetable!
Even worse than a vegetative state.

Thinking of this, he returned to the house and walked straight to the boudoir where he stayed last night.

He thought silently, how could he let her die like this without verifying the inevitability of the other party and the system's big wheel.

Maybe Li Cheng himself didn't realize it,
At this moment, he had not even glanced at the system panel.

……

……

I heard familiar footsteps getting closer.

Xiang Yi, who was sitting upright in front of the case, suddenly raised his eyes, which were somewhat absent-minded.

A drop of thick ink immediately dripped onto the white paper, rendering a distinct ink stain.

On the paper, there are a few words she wrote unconsciously——

Life is just like catkins before the wind

Joy is sporadic, sadness is sporadic

Du Zuo Lian Jiang Diandian Ping

She quickly wanted to put the paper away, but Li Cheng took a quick step and saw the content on the paper at a glance:

"What a melancholy song about picking mulberries. It seems that you, madam, are in a state of incomprehensible sadness."

"I didn't write this word, so why talk about melancholy?"

Since he was seen by the other party, Xiang Yi simply stopped covering up, stood up and looked at Li Cheng pretending to be calm:

"Have you... thought about it?"

Although her tone was pretending to be indifferent, Li Cheng could still hear some hints of Schrödinger.

I want him to leave, but I don't want him to leave.

Li Cheng smiled slightly and replied half-truthfully:

"The emperor of the human race and the regent of the demon race, just hearing their names are intimidating...

But what if I'm not afraid of offending them at all? "

This is an alternative answer.

Like an overflowing light, light flashed from Xiang Yi's eyes in an instant.

She was silent for a moment and said with hint of worry:

"They're... very strong, and you might regret it."

"You may not believe it when I tell you," Li Cheng raised the corners of his lips and said confidently:

"I have never regretted anything in my life, including meeting you."

Xiang Yi:……

When the girl heard the words, she exhaled Ruoran, trying to remain calm on the outside, but she was a little unspeakably panicked inside.

Seeing this, Li Cheng couldn't help but chuckle, causing Xiang Yi to glare at him.

He couldn't help but change the topic and said casually:

"Think about it this way, madam, your adoptive father doesn't know that your father is the demon regent."

He originally wanted to say godfather, but suddenly felt that the word was inappropriate.

"My mother-in-law and foster father don't even know that I have demon blood." Xiang Yi shook his head and said softly.

Li Cheng knew clearly that there were very few ways to distinguish between humans and demons in this world.

If you are a mixed race of two races, it will be even more difficult to judge.

But the mother-in-law mentioned in her words made Li Cheng subconsciously feel that he seemed to know her.

He wanted to ask who it was, but suddenly he felt something in his heart.

At the same time, Xiang Yi immediately turned his head and looked out the wooden window.

"Someone entered the pine forest, and they didn't hide their aura. It seems to be Uncle Dong and Uncle Tai?"

Li Cheng stared at Li Cheng in the distance and said lightly.

"Yeah," Xiang Yi nodded and added:
"There should also be two of my maids."

"Maids? Did you ask them to come?" Li Cheng asked curiously.

"No," Xiang Yi vaguely guessed something and speculated:
"They are probably going to Langlang Mountain when they come here..."
