Extra Rewards, Full Recovery!

From these neighbors, Chen Yue learned that they had come from elsewhere to marry into the family. However, the women they married were basically Gu Family women used for political marriages—put bluntly, marriage pawns with relatively low Innate Soul Power.

Chen Yue welcomed all their attempts at conversation. After all, he would need these colleagues to chip in wedding money and give full-month gifts in the future...

That night.

The Gu Family announced that Gu Qinghan, the Third Family Head, had found her ideal husband and would hold her wedding in three days.

This left Chen Yue's neighbors utterly stunned!

"Doesn't this kid just have a pretty face? The Third Family Head actually took a liking to him?"

"Uh, I have to admit, this guy's face is indeed a tiny bit handsome..."

Hearing his neighbors' words, Chen Yue secretly laughed. Of course. His peerless looks were second only to those of the readers!

Very soon!

The wedding was held as scheduled. Chen Yue successfully married Gu Qinghan, while those neighbors, filled with envy, jealousy, resentment, and deep admiration, gave their congratulatory gifts.

However.

They had no idea this was only the beginning of emptying their wallets!

That night!

Wearing a Dragon and Phoenix Gown, Chen Yue entered the bridal chamber. Looking at Gu Qinghan in her Xiuhe dress beneath a red bridal veil, his gaze turned heated. "Wife..."

"Call me Third Family Head!"

Chen Yue: "..."

The icy voice from beneath the red veil instantly scattered Chen Yue's enthusiasm, making the corners of his mouth twitch nonstop.

She truly lived up to her name!

Cold as ice!

Let's see whether you can still keep that cold expression afterward!

Chen Yue felt somewhat indignant. Ignoring the remaining ceremony, he strode forward and lifted her veil. Then...

Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully marrying Gu Qinghan, the Third Family Head of the Gu Family. You have received the following rewards!

Guaranteed reward: Lifespan ×10 years!

Extra rewards: Soul Power ×10, Soul Ring ×1 (ten thousand years), ability—Golden Spear Unyielding

Chen Yue, who had already been somewhat exhausted, suddenly felt his Soul Power rise. In an instant, he was fully restored!

Morning!

At the Gu Family Old Residence, Gu Qingxue, the First Family Head, and Gu Qingmo, the Second Family Head, were already seated there, waiting for Gu Qinghan's arrival. After all, family meetings were generally handled by the three of them exchanging opinions before making decisions.

Normally, although Gu Qinghan was somewhat slow, she would never be late. Thus, they did not sit down to cultivate on the spot, merely waiting in silence.

Until the sun was high in the sky... until even the noon sunlight streamed through the windows and fell upon their faces.

The two looked at each other, their expressions gradually turning blank as they began to doubt life itself. "This..."

"Where is Third Sister?"

Gu Qingxue's voice was icy and devoid of warmth, as though she were speaking to a stranger.

Gu Qingmo did not mind this. She was already accustomed to her eldest sister's manner of speaking. "Third Sister got married and entered the bridal chamber last night. She should be... sleeping in?"

Even she lacked confidence in those words. The sun was already high in the sky, and she was still sleeping in?

"Hmph!"

Gu Qingxue snorted coldly and said nothing more. She rose directly from her seat and headed toward Gu Qinghan's residence.

Since the Gu Family recruited husbands into the family, the wedding night had not been arranged in the room prepared for Chen Yue, but at Gu Qinghan's residence.

The moment she entered the residence, before she had even reached the bedroom, she heard the unbearable sounds coming from within.

In an instant, her raised foot froze in midair!

Gu Qingxue: "..."

Was this still her Third Sister?
