Chapter 73
A shiver ran through White Deer Immortal’s body the moment the man’s scorching fingers, coated in cool medicinal balm, touched his back.
Sui Chunsheng’s breath tickled the back of his neck, causing him to instinctively shrink away.
White Deer Immortal turned his head, “Hiss…”
Sui Chunsheng paused, hurriedly saying, “I… I’ll be gentler.”
White Deer Immortal hummed in response, his brow slightly furrowed.
Suddenly, he felt the man’s gentle movements suddenly increase in intensity, and he couldn’t help but wince in pain.
Sui Chunsheng’s voice remained soft, “I’m sorry, I’m just too clumsy…”
His breathing hitched for a moment, and then he continued to apply the medicine to his master.
White Deer Immortal felt the man’s fingertips slowly rub, briefly pulling away, and then applying more ointment, his fingertips landing on his lower back.
This area was also a little too sensitive for White Deer Immortal, and he shuddered as soon as he was touched, his breathing quickening, a soft moan escaping his lips.
The man’s hands had thick calluses, and as they repeatedly rubbed against him, the movements were gentle, yet they were almost unbearable.
He groaned, his body trembling involuntarily.
Sui Chunsheng murmured, “Master, don’t make a sound…”
Realizing, White Deer Immortal slowly stood up.
“Okay, that’s enough for now.”
He quickly wrapped his outer robe and returned to the bed.
Sui Chunsheng touched White Deer Immortal’s hair, gently removing the hairpin from his head.
His long hair instantly cascaded down, like thick ink slowly flowing from a white jade cup.
Sui Chunsheng reached out, grasping a strand of long hair, and leaned in to kiss it.
“It’s getting late, Master, you should sleep.”
…
The wedding day for the two arrived quickly.
Many people from all over the three realms came, after all, the wedding of the Slaughter God Throne, the Xiu Luo Clan Leader and the ancient divine lord, the White Deer Immortal, was enough to shock and stir the three realms.
White Deer Immortal was awakened by a maid early in the morning; it wasn’t even dawn yet, and he was still somewhat drowsy.
The maid helped him dress and put on his crown, and also remembered to put on a pair of gold filigree earrings for him.
The earrings were carved in the shape of magnolias, with dangling silk threads swaying. The White Deer Immortal’s skin was too delicate, and the earlobes with the earrings were slightly tinged with cherry pink, looking very tempting.
His long hair fell over his shoulders, contrasting with the blood-red wedding attire.
Three or five maids bustled around him for two hours, and the sky outside finally brightened.
When he walked out of the tent, he heard the clamor of the crowd.
There seemed to be many people around.
The moment the wedding banquet began, someone helped him slowly walk up to the high platform.
He walked up step by step, and with each step he took, the fragrance of hibiscus from afar became more intense.
Until a hand supported his sleeve, pulling him into an embrace.
The overwhelming fragrance of hibiscus engulfed him.
Sui Chunsheng couldn’t see White Deer Immortal’s expression and could only glimpse him through the beaded veil on his face.
The Slaughter God Throne wore an expression of unrestrained joy and bowed to the heavens with him.
“Today, I, and my Consort are getting married, everyone will celebrate with me! Anyone who comes to offer their congratulations will receive ten thousand taels of gold!”
Sui Chunsheng raised his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.
A wave of awe rippled through the crowd below.
“Consort? Wasn’t it said that he was taking a concubine?”
“Hey, the invitation did indeed say Consort…”
“The Slaughter God Throne has said it himself, so it must be true, but I wonder if the White Deer Immortal is willing…”
“I heard he was snatched away.”
“Snatched away…?”
Yu Xiao Die coughed lightly, “Eating and drinking won’t shut your mouths, if you keep talking nonsense, I’ll have your tongues.”
The two people who were gossiping immediately fell silent.
Equally shocked were the three demon brothers. Not only did their clan leader suddenly become a groom marrying a consort, but now he was standing on the high platform with a smile that was about to split his face, what was going on?
The three demons were incredibly bewildered, as if they had seen a ghost.
“Big brother, didn’t you say the clan leader was only holding this wedding to take revenge on the White Deer Immortal? But why do I feel something is not right…”
The second demon also nodded, “The clan leader is smiling so happily…”
The eldest demon looked at the Slaughter God Throne on the high platform. The groom’s face was radiantly smiling, showing no signs of displeasure.
He subconsciously became a bit dazed, “Maybe…maybe the clan leader has achieved his goal of humiliating the White Deer Immortal.”
The second demon was surprised, “Really?”
The eldest demon beckoned the two to come closer.
The two immediately leaned in.
They heard the eldest demon lower his voice and say, “A few days ago, when I was on night watch, I heard the White Deer Immortal crying in the clan leader’s tent…”
The second demon’s eyes widened immediately, “The White Deer Immortal, cried?”
The third demon was shocked, “It’s said that this ancient divine lord is of a firm character, with a cold face and an even colder heart, he would actually cry?”
The eldest demon said, “It’s absolutely true, he was crying so hard that he was almost speechless, it was especially miserable.”
The second and third demons looked at each other, astonished, “It seems that the White Deer Immortal has been thoroughly ravaged… he got beaten up even before his injuries healed, no wonder the clan leader’s smile is about to split his face.”
The three demon brothers looked meaningfully toward the high platform.
Yu Xiao Die, who was munching on melon seeds, was both surprised by Sui Chunsheng’s ferocity and shocked by the demon trio’s thoughts. She held back for a long time, barely managing not to burst out laughing on the spot.
The three demon brothers each received a punch to the back from their princess, somewhat blankly stunned in place.
After bowing to the heavens, the banquet began, and everyone gathered to drink and celebrate, the surroundings were also chaotic.
Sui Chunsheng knew that his master liked quiet, so he had the maids take him back to the tent to rest.
After all, the tinkling accessories all over him, although beautiful to look at, were also quite burdensome.
White Deer Immortal returned to the tent. He took off the heavy spiritual shoulder pads, leaving only the fiery red robe underneath.
The maid helped him remove the beaded crown, leaving a few delicate gold hairpins.
“You all can go out to eat and drink, I want to rest for a while,” White Deer Immortal said.
The maids responded and retreated, remembering to close the tent door behind them.
Only then did White Deer Immortal take off his long boots. The boots were in the Xiu Luo Clan style, complicated and gorgeous, but they did not fit his feet very well.
As expected, once he took off the boots, his toes and ankles were already red.
He rubbed his ankles and stepped onto the carpet, returning to the bed.
As soon as he sat down, he felt something poking his bottom.
Subconsciously, he began to feel around, discovering that they were all melon seeds, red dates, peanuts, longans, lotus seeds…
There was also a bed of flower petals, he picked up a handful and smelled them. They were hibiscus and magnolia petals.
He didn’t know what they were for, perhaps it was a custom of the Xiu Luo Clan.
Feeling a bit hungry, he simply grabbed a handful of melon seeds and peanuts to eat.
As soon as he peeled open a peanut, he found that it was raw, not roasted.
He peeled open a melon seed, and it was also raw.
Raw food wasn’t very palatable to him because it didn’t have much flavor.
He liked to eat hibiscus-roasted melon seeds with a hint of sea salt.
So, White Deer Immortal had to grab a handful of red dates to eat, which were dried but still very sweet.
His mood improved a lot, and he leaned against the bed to eat and drink.
Before long, two people came in.
He sensed their presence, it was the maids.
“Consort, the clan leader asked us to bring you some pastries…” The maids slowly walked in, placing several plates of pastries on the table, along with a pot of fruit wine.
“Consort, the clan leader said that sweet fruit wine should be drunk sparingly, as it will make you drunk. The clan leader won’t be back until late at night, he said that if you get sleepy, you should rest first.”
White Deer Immortal nodded and let them go to rest.
He groped forward to find something to eat. The table was already full, with pastries and some dishes.
White Deer Immortal accurately found a bowl of fish and dragon soup, and he immediately smiled.
After a long while, he was finally full.
After drinking a few cups of fruit wine, he was already a little drunk, and he groped his way back to the bed, wanting to sleep for a while.
It was late, when the Slaughter God Throne was finally released by the guests.
Sui Chunsheng lifted the curtain of the clan leader’s tent. Through the screen at the entrance, he could see the White Deer Immortal lying on his side, asleep on the bed.
The candlelight flickered under the screen’s cover, surrounding everything with a faint red hue.
Sui Chunsheng slowly walked past the screen, and the figure on the bed gradually became clear.
White Deer Immortal leaned against the soft pillow, dozing with his eyes closed.
His long hair slid down his shoulders, and the fiery red wedding attire outlined his figure. Gold and jade ornaments adorned his slender waist, and numerous dangling jewels complemented the scene.
Below the hem of the wedding robe, White Deer Immortal’s legs were exposed.
His fair calves were bare, the hem of the robe had slipped down, and his ankles and toes were slightly red.
Because the bed was covered with grains, White Deer Immortal could only sleep on the very edge, seeming as if he would roll off at any moment.
Sui Chunsheng walked forward, originally intending to use magic to sweep the grains from the bed, but then he remembered what the wedding matron had said, that these grains should not be cleaned up tonight.
He hesitated for a moment, and the person on the bed seemed to slowly awaken.
White Deer Immortal squinted his eyes, seemingly having smelled his presence.
A pair of hazy grey eyes curved into a smile, “Ah Sheng…”
He subconsciously reached out to him, but because of this, his body became completely unstable and he rolled off the bed.
Sui Chunsheng quickly reached out to catch him, and the next moment, the person fell heavily into his arms. The refreshing fragrance of agarwood crashed into his face.
White Deer Immortal regained his senses from the shock and reached up to hook his arms around the man’s neck.
“Master, you need to be careful,” Sui Chunsheng’s throat bobbed, his voice a little low and hoarse.
White Deer Immortal smiled faintly, “These grains are too prickly, can’t we sweep them away?”
Sui Chunsheng pondered, “The wedding matron said it’s best to leave them overnight.”
White Deer Immortal blinked, “Is there any meaning to that?”
Sui Chunsheng, “I don’t know.”
“The things they instructed are too tedious, I really can’t remember them.”
White Deer Immortal nodded, “Then let’s just sleep like this.”
Sui Chunsheng gently put him down, pulled out two layers of thick quilts, and spread them over the grains. It was not as prickly now.
Sui Chunsheng, “If it really doesn’t work, Master can just sleep on top of me.”
White Deer Immortal was stunned for a moment, “How can anyone sleep like that…”
Sui Chunsheng noticed that his ears were a little red, and he couldn’t help but reach out and pull the person into his arms.
He lowered his eyes to examine the person in his arms. The White Deer Immortal’s features were stunning, but they were too sharp, giving off a cold and aloof aura that kept people at bay.
But now, the White Deer Immortal had his eyebrows drawn, rouge applied, and lip gloss painted on. Although it was all done faintly, it was enough to weaken the aggressive nature in him, but it amplified the charm of his features. Every glance and every smile had a heart-capturing effect.
But the White Deer Immortal himself was unaware. He couldn’t see his current appearance, so he was naturally unaware that each of his movements and every expression would tug at the soul of the man before him.
White Deer Immortal sensed that the man had been intently staring at him and subconsciously lowered his eyes, feeling somewhat ashamed.
His current appearance was far too unusual for him.
Sui Chunsheng’s gaze fell on his already red ears, and he unconsciously reached out to gently flick the gold filigree earrings hanging from his earlobes.
The earrings made a crisp sound, captivating the man’s heartstrings.
“Master, you and I are now Dao partners, not to mention sleeping on your husband, even your husband sleeping inside you is permissible…”
As soon as these words came out, White Deer Immortal’s face became burning hot, and he instinctively tried to push him away.
But he was lifted by the man.
In that moment of being lifted off the ground, White Deer Immortal exclaimed in surprise, instinctively grabbing the youth’s shoulders.
