Is It a Painting or an Immortal

Upon reaching the bridal chamber, Jiang Lin chewed on a Sobering Pill within his body. With a flick of Jiang Lin sleeve, he dispelled the lingering alcohol fumes.

After taking another Mind-Stabilizing Pill to completely soothe his mind, and even appearing somewhat like a saint, Jiang Lin finally knocked on the door.

Otherwise, in this atmosphere, coupled with the aid of alcohol, things could go wrong.

However, after knocking for a while, no one answered the door...

"??? Is Jiu Yi asleep? No... it seems like this is a custom..."

It was only then that Jiang Lin remembered that on their wedding night, the groom would always "barge" in.

Knock on the door with a hammer...

But there's no one else around, is it really necessary to be so detailed?

"Jiu Yi, I'm coming in."

Jiang Lin still greeted them and then pushed open the door to enter.

Upon opening the door, a faint fragrance wafted out. In the joyous Bridal Chamber, the woman sat on the edge of the bed with her legs together and her hands crossed on her thighs, looking rather docile.

After closing the door and setting up a Soundproofing Array, Jiang Lin sat down in a chair and poured himself a cup of tea, only to find that the room only contained wine...

"Cough cough cough..."

Seeing Bai Jiu Yi, still wearing her Red Veil and remaining silent, Jiang Lin sensed that the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

"Um, Jiu Yi, everything is ready. In about two incense sticks' time, they should be rushing over. Bai Ling Bai Qiao are also ready. Those feudal lords will not return today."

Jiang Lin explained the situation; otherwise, the red-themed bridal chamber would have made everyone's heart race.

She remained silent, still wearing her Red Veil, and simply nodded slightly.

"Jiu Yi?"

Jiang Lin asked again tentatively, wondering if this was his master.

Impossible. Master doesn't possess that kind of alluring charm emanating from within, and besides, Master doesn't have Jiu Yi figure.

Beneath the Red Veil, sensing that Jiang Lin remained seated motionless on the stool, the woman pouted, Xiao Xiao resentment rising in her heart.

"Seriously! Isn't this guy Flower-Picking Thief? He's surrounded by so many women, how come he's acting like an idiot now? What kind of Flower-Picking Thief are you?!"

With a hint of resentment, she took a deep breath, her chest heaving slightly to calm herself down. Then, she reached out her slender hand and gently patted the spot beside her.

"Um?"

Jiang Lin remained motionless.

The woman patted it again; she was genuinely a little angry.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the bed?"

Jiang Lin said.

As soon as Jiang Lin finished speaking, the temperature dropped rapidly from the woman's center, and even one or two ice lotuses bloomed.

"Okay, okay, stop joking around, I was wrong."

Realizing that Jiu Yi was really about to get angry, Jiang Lin quickly sat down next to her.

However, they were separated by half a body length...

"Ouch... it hurts..."

With her slender hand outstretched, Bai Jiu Yi pinched Jiang Lin hard on the waist, causing him to cry out in pain.

Only then did Jiang Lin, his face flushed, sit down beside her.

Arms gently pressed together.

The soft touch of the girl's arm made Jiang Lin's face turn even redder, just like when the girl you had a crush on in junior high school yelled at you to hand in your homework in front of the whole class...

Even if Jiang Lin is very straightforward, he still knows the next step: lifting the Red Veil...

But...

Isn't that unnecessary? There's no one else here, so the ceremony doesn't need to be so elaborate.

And most importantly!

I'm just nervous!

"No! Jiang Lin! Don't be nervous! What's there to be nervous about? Calm down! This is just a fake wedding! Maybe Jiu Yi just wants to experience the complete wedding customs."

Isn't it true that every girl dreams of having a complete and perfect wedding?

After struggling to convince himself, Jiang Lin, with trembling hands, gently lifted Bai Jiu Yi's Red Veil...

From bottom to top, slowly, starting with her fair, jade-like chin, then moving to her rosy lips and pert, delicate nose.

Her face was slowly revealed to Jiang Lin as if a curtain were being drawn back.

The Red Veil was completely lifted, she lowered her head and looked down, her willow-leaf eyebrows like a small boat floating among the mountains and rivers.

Beneath her willow-leaf eyebrows, her long, curved eyelashes seemed capable of holding a complete water droplet without falling; the corners of her silky, alluring eyes were tinged with a faint red, far from being seductive, but rather extremely alluring!

Her elegant face was adorned with delicate floral makeup, and her exquisite features exuded a touch of allure.

Her bright eyes were a deep, icy blue, bathed in the pure moonlight, as blue as the sea.

Her cherry-red lips, naturally rosy, glowed faintly in the candlelight of the bridal chamber, making her appear both enchanting and ethereal.

In a mere instant, Jiang Lin froze, his mind blank, his eyes fixed on her, and the movement of his hands lifting the Red Veil seemed to freeze time itself.

This isn't a human! This isn't a demon!

Her paintings are simply divine.

No!

Even a painter at the Upper Five Realms, could they capture even a fraction of her beauty?

"Hey... have you seen enough...?"

Feeling Jiang Lin's unwavering gaze, she lowered her head and turned her face slightly to the side, her cheeks flushed, feeling both happy and shy.

"Ah... I'm... sorry..."

Jiang Lin, struggling to recover from the girl's beauty, quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer, as if looking any longer would make it Liao Liao to look away.

Jiang Lin felt it definitely wasn't because he had been single for too long!

Any male in the world would react exactly the same way I do, and I'm actually considered lucky; if it were someone else, they'd probably be dead drunk by now.

This is just too outrageous!

It was nothing more than a wedding dress and red bridal attire, yet it elevated her already stunning beauty to an even higher level!

Her eyes were shy, her allure captivating.

This is truly life-threatening.

The emperor neglects to Morning Court.

That statement is indeed true...

I must apologize to the portrayal of King Zhou of Shang and King You of Zhou in history books...

If it were me, I doubt it would have been as simple as lighting the beacon fires to amuse the feudal lords...

"Well, you rest for a bit, I'll go do Fist Posture to warm up, those feudal lords will be storming in soon."

Jiang Lin Lin's breathing was shallow and he quickly tried to get up.

However, before Jiang Lin could even take a step after turning around, Bai Jiu Yi gently grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"The wedding isn't over yet?"

"Huh?" Jiang Lin turned his head blankly, like a robot. "This isn't a good idea..."

"What's wrong with that? It's just drinking a toast together, isn't it?"

"Oh... a toast together, that's fine then."

She rolled her eyes at Jiang Lin, dressed in red. "What else did you think it was?"

"N-nothing... it's just a toast."

With an excited heart, she raised her trembling hand and took the wine glass that Bai Jiu Yi handed her.

"Calm down! It's just a drink! It'll be over in a minute!"

He gently lifted his scholar's robe, she gently lifted her red sleeve.

The two linked arms around each other.

Just as their lips touched the wine cups, a loud bang came from the palace, and the next moment, a huge fire dragon rushed straight towards the two in the Bridal Chamber.

"Boom!"

In an instant, flames engulfed the backyard of the White Empire's palace.
