This wedding was known by almost everyone in the world. Zhen Shui Wu Xiang, who had originally been running a dungeon with Little Rain Demoness, got distracted for a moment and was directly struck in a vital spot by the BOSS, dying on the spot...

"Hey, Zhen Shui, what happened to you? Why were you distracted?" Little Rain Demoness had not checked the world channel yet and had not noticed the news. She complained with a resentful expression.

This dungeon was rather unforgiving. If someone died inside, they had to start all over again...

But Little Rain Demoness was a healer and could revive him!

Yet before she could use her skill, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang chose to revive himself and left the party!

In front of his computer, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang frowned deeply and opened his friend list. "Weiwei, why did you do this?"

Reed Weiwei was still inside the bridal sedan when she saw Zhen Shui Wu Xiang's question. She replied, "Didn't the server organize a Couple PK Tournament? He and I got married so we could take part in it!"

"Was it really only for the tournament?" Zhen Shui Wu Xiang asked, his brow tightly furrowed.

Men were just like that. When they were together, they never knew how to cherish what they had, but once they lost it, they clung on desperately!

Reed Weiwei stared at the screen, somewhat dazed herself. Was it really just for the Couple PK Tournament?

Maybe it was?

But unconsciously, Xiao Xie's handsome face surfaced in Reed Weiwei's mind... If she could really become his girlfriend, that did not seem so bad either!

"Honestly, Bei Weiwei, what are you even thinking about?!" Bei Weiwei could not help lightly patting her own cheek in front of the computer, her face flushed as she spoke.

"Mm, you should find a partner soon too. The tournament is about to begin. Let's do our best together!"

Zhen Shui Wu Xiang let out a long sigh and finally chose to log off.

Little Rain Demoness also left the dungeon at this point. She had originally wanted to ask Zhen Shui Wu Xiang what was going on, but the moment she saw what everyone was discussing in the world chat, she immediately understood.

Seeing Zhen Shui Wu Xiang log off, Little Rain Demoness closed the game as well and directly took out her phone to call him.

The two of them had actually been running dungeons together for a long time and had even met in real life. Otherwise, Zhen Shui Wu Xiang would not have agreed so readily to break up with Reed Weiwei. Wasn't it because Little Rain Demoness had insisted on being with him?

That said, Little Rain Demoness really was a great beauty. Previously, A Chinese Ghost Story's company had held a real-person popularity contest, where the top three players by vote would receive high-level gear sets. With a few photos and a video, Little Rain Demoness won first place with overwhelming popularity, and the news immediately caused a sensation on Weiwei's server.

However, Xiao Xie had no interest in her. Bei Weiwei was far prettier than Little Rain Demoness.

In the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story," weddings could be lavish or simple. When Weiwei and Zhen Shui had married, theirs had been very simple—they had just gone to Old Man of the Moon to register it, and that was it. There had not even been a wedding procession through the streets!

But this time was different. It was Xiao Xie's first marriage in his life. Even though it was only in a game, the scale of it was incomparably grand.

Hundreds of fireworks lined both sides of the streets, gongs and drums led the way, an eight-man bridal sedan paraded through the streets, and every attendee received a red packet containing 888 gold.

The game had long been buzzing over this wedding. After all, Reed Weiwei was already famous, while the Alchemist might not have been well-known before. But after making such a spectacle, he would definitely be branded as a "rich man"!

Together with the absurdly powerful set of equipment he wore, everyone knew that this guy had to be some rich second-generation heir in real life!

It was said that this wedding had even drawn the attention of players from other servers, with some registering alternate accounts just to come watch it...

The wedding was lively, and the world channel was also full of discussion about it.

"Great God, isn't this a little too high-profile?" The wedding had drawn the entire server's attention, and Weiwei asked somewhat embarrassedly.

"There's nothing high-profile about it. Since we're getting married, it should be lively. That's the proper way to do it!" Xiao Xie said with a smile.

Some well-known figures in the game also came to the event. Naturally, quite a few of them were Reed Weiwei's friends, including Thunder God Ni Ni, Battle the World, Butterfly Dream Unawakened, and the others previously mentioned...

Countless people at the scene envied Reed Weiwei, especially Thunder God Ni Ni. At first, she had asked whether Reed Weiwei had really split up with Zhen Shui Wu Xiang. Now she understood why they had separated!

This Alchemist was clearly richer and more formidable than Zhen Shui Wu Xiang.

Although Reed Weiwei kept saying it was too high-profile, she felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in her heart.

Girls, after all—who did not have a little vanity?

After the wedding ended, the two were escorted by a crowd into the final stage... the bridal chamber.

After all, it was a game, and "A Chinese Ghost Story" stipulated that newlywed couples had to remain in the room for fifteen minutes. Only after it was completed could both parties leave.

Of course, this was the game's unique intimacy system. The higher the intimacy, the more powerful the couple's shared skills would become.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" had a wide variety of gameplay, and couple quests were also a crucial part of it. In particular, no one had managed to complete the final stage of the couple quest since the server first opened!

"Weiwei, from now on, we're partners. Would you prefer me to call you madam or wife?" Xiao Xie asked teasingly.

Bei Weiwei's pretty face reddened in front of her computer. "You should just call me Weiwei!"

"I understand, Madam!"

"..." Bei Weiwei was speechless. She waved her hands at her burning cheeks, fanning herself. So embarrassing!

"I heard that the Couple PK Tournament's final rewards include top-tier equipment and a unique set of couple outfits. They must be pretty nice." Bei Weiwei tried to change the subject, speaking with a grin.

"As long as you like them!" Xiao Xie smiled faintly. Then he glanced at the time. Fifteen minutes had passed in the blink of an eye, so he summoned his Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon. "Get on!"

Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon was the highest-tier mount in the game. There was only a chance to obtain it during the Lunar New Year and Lantern Festival, and fewer than five people on the entire server owned one. Thus, when the divine dragon appeared, Bei Weiwei's eyes widened and she sucked in a sharp breath. A Great God truly was a Great God.

There were many places with beautiful scenery in A Chinese Ghost Story, and Xiao Xie took Bei Weiwei on Nine Heavens Soaring Dragon to visit them.

Moon Palace seemed a lonely, frigid place. Who knew where that beloved had gone, leaving only the moonlit cassia trees and mountains behind.

Yellow Springs: to the blue heavens above and Yellow Springs below, neither place revealed a trace of you. Apart from yellow earth and white bones, I would guard you through a hundred carefree years. I remembered every word you ever said, but what about you? I crossed the desolate Wangchuan River and passed the bewitching Other Shore Flower, only to find your silent, wordless gravestone.

Rain Lotus Bay, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Hell Peach Garden...

One beautiful scene after another appeared before her eyes. Bei Weiwei finally came back to her senses. "So... so the world of A Chinese Ghost Story is this beautiful!"

Bei Weiwei had always been busy leveling up and doing quests, never noticing these things. But it was only today that she realized how much scenery she had missed!

"Actually, the world has never lacked beauty. We simply lack eyes that can discover it!" Xiao Xie said with a smile.

"You brought me up here just to show me the scenery?"

"What else?"

Bei Weiwei's heart immediately leaped with excitement. She had thought Xiao Xie was going to take her into a dungeon!

"Then... are we on our honeymoon?"

The moment she said that, Bei Weiwei lowered her head. Even separated by a computer screen, she suddenly felt so shy that she could barely hold her head up.

Xiao Xie quickly gave her an answer. "Of course. Whether in the game or in real life, I want to take you to see the scenery."

Bei Weiwei stared blankly at those words, at that moving scenery.

For a moment, Bei Weiwei was utterly entranced...

She could no longer tell whether this was an illusion or reality.

The two of them did not run any more dungeons. It was getting late, and the dorm lights would soon be turned off for bed.

"Oh, right. Are you going to the Computer Science Department basketball game tomorrow?" Bei Weiwei suddenly asked Xiao Xie as they were logging off.

"I'll be there. Will you come cheer me on?" Xiao Xie asked with a smile.

"Sure! I'll definitely come cheer for you. It's getting late, so I'm logging off. Good night."

"Good night, my lady!"

"What do I do? What do I do? I'm so embarrassed!" Even after Weiwei logged off, her face was still full of shyness. The words "my lady" lingered in her mind for a long time.

"Weiwei, what's wrong? Your face is so hot! Don't tell me you have a fever?" Zhao Erxi touched Bei Weiwei's face, smiling teasingly.

"You stinky Erxi, you're the one with a fever!" Zhao Erxi's teasing restored Bei Weiwei's energy, and the two began to fool around. In an instant, a flash of spring scenery appeared, utterly enticing!
