Swan Dance (Silver Bonus Chapter 6/20)

As Meng Qingying went out to chat with Minghe, Qin Yi and her Yu Shang inside the house, just as she had predicted, looked at each other in an extremely awkward atmosphere.

Where was the sweetness of the wedding night? The atmosphere was as stiff as if a battle had taken place.

After a long pause, Qin Yi took the lead in admitting his mistake. "It was my fault for being too fickle... um..."

Yu Shang's expression was a little strange. She seemed a little angry, but she couldn't get angry. In the end, she laughed instead.

Qin Yi asked curiously, "Did she get so angry she went mad?"

Yu Shang shook her head and said softly, "Husband, although I am very angry about this, if I think about it carefully, I feel that you are quite wronged."

"Huh?" Qin Yi was stunned. Was this even possible?

Yu Shang sighed, "At first, you were acting in self-defense, accidentally plucking the first velvet and returning it to me. You came to Xun Wood City with me under your control, intending to use me as leverage to get a chance to go to the center of the sea... My Husband has never been interested in me, and has emphasized that he has another wife at home. It seems like I'm the one who imprisoned you and repeatedly forced you to marry me. So why should I be angry when your other women come to me? Did I steal their man?"

Qin Yi thought about it and realized that it seemed to make sense. The roles of host and guest had been reversed, like a hunter going into the mountains to hunt a bear... but it was indeed she who was forcing him into marriage.

Of course, it's easy for a woman to pursue a man, and I was also a bit lustful, so it turned out like this...

Liusu was complaining to the dog. "What do you mean by 'putting on a smug face' and 'stealing someone else's man'... You're clearly just a cold-faced guy with a secretly horny personality."

The dog rolled its eyes... Why don't you say your man insisted on using this method?

However, when it comes to this matter, it's really hard to tell who's the host and who's the guest, who takes the initiative and who has the self-respect.

Qin Yi also said, "This matter is already unclear. I have no right to claim that I was forced. Saying that you were forced by me is closer to the truth."

A hint of allure returned to Yu Shang's eyes as she whispered, "Then... why won't you force me again, my Husband?"

Qin Yi made a gurgling sound in his throat.

This girl is hopeless...

Yu Shang nestled into his lap and whispered, "This whole affair was a lie. There were hardly any people who could tell me the truth... Li Jiuyou came on Meng Qingying's orders, not to mention Gu Shuanglin, and even the Dragon Son might not be... In the end, the only one who truly never lied to me from beginning to end was my Husband."

That's true... It seems it's all thanks to the contrast with his peers. In Yu Shang's eyes, Qin Yi is naturally better than others from every angle. However, she subconsciously overlooked Xiang Ming. That Double Eyed Bird isn't hypocritical either, he just doesn't have much of a presence... Qin Yi isn't stupid, of course he wouldn't remind her of that.

To be honest, the Winged Human Race were all saved by Qin Yi this time. Otherwise, the Winged People in Xun Wood City, including Yu Shang, would probably not be in a good situation right now. Qin Yi should be considered a great benefactor. Of course, it's good to express gratitude to outsiders, but there's no need to mention it to your Husband. Doing so would be too formal.

Yu Shang clearly knew what she was doing.

Beneath the surface of various disruptions, the essence is that Qin Yi single-handedly saved the entire Winged Human Race. Not only that, he may have also averted a bloody war that was about to rage.

He should be grateful for such a great favor, as he really can't bring himself to get angry because a woman is jealous.

Of course she was angry... If she wanted to vent, she would find an opportunity to vent it on Meng Qingying. Anyway, at this moment, Yu Shang's gratitude towards Qin Yi exceeded everything else. She actively and desperately tried to find reasons to convince herself of his shortcomings. The more she tried to convince herself, the more convinced she became. No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Qin Yi was not wrong and had actually done something good.

She gently kissed Qin Yi's cheek, her voice growing increasingly alluring. "My Husband, no matter how much commotion we've experienced today, it truly is our wedding night. We can talk about anything on our minds tomorrow. Right now, we should be doing something else..."

Qin Yi swallowed again.

Yu Shang took a wine pot from the table, poured two cups of wine, and handed one to Qin Yi: "Since there are no wedding candles or red lids, this is all we have for our wedding. Please do not find it too simple, my Husband."

That haughty face in front of outsiders was now flushed and radiant, with lowered eyes and a rosy glow, like a peach blossom.

Qin Yi's heart melted instantly, a gentle warmth spreading like ripples.

This girl... actually has many good points... although things didn't start off pleasantly.

He took the wine cup, intertwined his wrist with Yu Shang's, and whispered, "This is how the nuptial wine is drunk..."

After drinking a cup of wine, Yu Shang's eyes had already turned to tears.

Yu Shang's eyelashes twitched nervously, and she finally slowly closed her eyes.

Before Qin Yi's guidance, Yu Shang thought that she had already done everything she could when she was tied to the stone pillar, and that this might have influenced her decision to force Qin Yi into marriage. However, as she got to know him better, she realized that what she had done before was all superficial and not the real deal.

By the lotus pond, Meng Qingying looked at the lush greenery and suddenly felt uneasy. She nudged Minghe with her elbow and said, "Hey, fortune teller, guess what they're doing right now?"

Minghe said irritably, "Didn't you say you've completely ruined the atmosphere?"

Meng Qingying paced back and forth a couple of times. "It's hard to say. Given time, things might get a little more romantic again. You should know very well what kind of methods that guy surnamed Qin has..."

This is a real injustice to the man surnamed Qin; he wasn't the one who took the initiative this time.

Minghe blushed slightly, thinking to herself, "I have no idea what kind of methods he uses." But she didn't refute him aloud. Instead, she actually took out a few divination sticks and cast a hexagram.

Meng Qingying peeked over to look. "What do you mean?"

"The wild goose gradually approaches the tree, and perhaps finds its rafter." Minghe explains. "This means it has found its own branch..."

She immediately shut her mouth before she could finish speaking.

"We lost." Meng Qingying looked up at the sky. "Minghe..."

Minghe: "Huh?"

"How about we break in?"

Minghe was both amused and exasperated. "Forget it, they're newlyweds, it's a perfectly normal thing. It's pointless to make a fuss about it."

"Hmph." Meng Qingying was clearly just saying it, but she released a dark shadow out of extreme displeasure.

A shadow slipped through the crack in the door, and soon another dark curtain appeared in front of Meng Qingying.

Minghe stammered, "W-what are you doing?"

"Look how hard he's working."

Minghe turned and left; looking at this would give her a sty.

But behind her came Meng Qingying's surprised "Eh?"

Minghe subconsciously turned her head, a look of amazement flashing in her eyes.

In the dark curtain of light, Qin Yi was not exerting himself as one might have imagined; on the contrary, he was doing the opposite.

Above, a pair of Yu Shang spread out, as if a swan is flying and soaring in the air.

Because of this veil of shadow, everything appears as Black Shadow, so what you see are black figures with black wings, spread out and fluttering, with an eerie, ghostly quality.

One can imagine that the real scene was one of pure depravity, and Qin Yi must have found some kind of pleasure lying there.

The more sacred the reality, the more eerie the shadow; the extreme contrast is incredibly moving.

Meng Qingying stared blankly for a while, then suddenly turned her head and smiled, "Doesn't it look like... you and me?"

Minghe withdrew her gaze, turned and left indifferently. "You seem to be thinking too much about the Youhuang Wall Inscription, to the point of being Qi Deviation. These are two completely unrelated things..."

Meng Qingying smiled and did not refute.

Looking at the Shadow Curtain again, she no longer felt the same amazement as when she first saw it. She dispelled her Technique Method with a listless expression. "It's just a pair of wings, what's so special about it?"
