"No, what am I hiding from you?"
"Hey, wait... what is this?" After saying that, Ling Yuan reached out and opened her high neckline, revealing two red marks on her skin.
"What are you doing?" Bibi Dong quickly covered his neck.
Ling Yuan chuckled and raised his eyebrows at her.
"It turns out it's because you planted strawberries that you didn't wash it with me."
"Where, where is it?"
"Really, where have these strawberries been planted?"
Bibi Dong couldn't help but said, "Only on the neck."
"On the neck? If this is really the case, you won't stop washing it with me."
"Oh, just wash it yourself." Bibi Dong pushed her away.
"Okay then, tsk tsk tsk... this His Holiness the Pope is really good, even there."
Bibi Dong stared at her until Ling Yuan left the room.
"It's all your fault, Mr. Nasty, for making me so embarrassed."
One month later...
One month is neither long nor short.
The news that Pope Qian Xunji is getting married has already spread throughout the mainland.
Nobles and major forces from all parties have received invitations from the Spirit Hall.
Heaven Dou Empire, Star Luo Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... everyone who can come, has come.
Spirit City is completely lively.
Distinguished guests arrive at the city gate every day, people come and go on the streets, and all the major inns are full.
Qian Xunji has been extremely busy this month.
The construction of Soul Tool Research Institute has reached a critical stage, and he has to keep an eye on it.
He also had to keep an eye on all the wedding matters and was busy from morning to night every day.
But no matter how busy he is, he will still find time to see Bibi Dong.
Even if it's just a few words, even a hug.
That's enough.
Spirit City's changes are seen by everyone.
Red lanterns are hung all over every street, extending from the city gate to the entrance of the Spirit Hall.
The red carpet was rolled out from the main entrance of the Pope Palace and stretched for three miles.
"Such a spectacle..." a passerby exclaimed, "The Pope is going to dye the entire Spirit City red."
"Nonsense, the Pope's wedding, can it be shabby?"
"I heard that when the bride is welcomed, she will be dressed in red makeup and carried a large sedan chair."
"Shili Hongzhuang?! How much dowry will it cost?"
"Who knows, we will never see each other again in this life."
There is one more thing during this month.
That's Ling Yuan meeting the parents.
That day she was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she held on to Bibi Dong's hand.
Bibi Dong had no choice but to accompany her all the way, acting as a "human crutch" from the time she went out to the time she entered.
What's the result?
As soon as Bi Dashan saw her, he said with a smile, "Oh, this is Ling Yuan? What a handsome girl!"
Liu Xiulan held her hand, looked left and right, and was extremely satisfied. "Xiao Xi's eyesight is really good!"
Ling Yuan was so praised that his face turned red, and most of his previous nervousness dissipated.
After the meal, Bi Dashan had already taken her to chat about home affairs, and Liu Xiulan kept picking up food for her.
"Eat more, you are too thin."
"Thank you, aunt..."
"Just call me Taishengfen, or aunt."
"Thank you, thank you, aunt..."
Ling Yuan has never seen such enthusiasm. Her parents died early and she was an orphan. Fourth Elder Mighty Lion Douluo was entrusted by her father to raise her, so she was so nervous to meet her parents.
Bibi Dong looked on from the side, laughing so hard that his eyes were bent.
"Master Saintess, please stop laughing."
"Ling Yuan, what about Saintess? Just call me sister from now on."
"Call me sister? I'm not used to it."
"Then my name is Sister Dong'er, and we will be a family from now on."
"Okay."
Before leaving, Liu Xiulan gave her a red envelope.
"The first time we met, it should be."
Ling Yuan couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it.
When she walked out of the door, she was still in a trance.
"Sister Dong'er, your parents... are so nice."
"Well, I will be your parents from now on."
The wedding day.
Before dawn, the new house is already bustling with activity.
This is the small building Bibi Dong bought for his parents.
According to Liu Xiulan, a daughter must marry from her natal family, so there are rules.
The master bedroom on the second floor has been turned into a dressing room.
Bibi Dong is sitting in front of the dressing mirror.
She was wearing a bright red wedding gown, with a golden phoenix spreading its wings between the sleeves.
A palace ribbon of the same color is tied around her waist, and hanging down is a small jade pendant, which is exactly the Lotus Pendant gifted by Qian Daoliu.
The hair is tied up in a high bun, the golden hairpin is swaying, and the White Jade Iris Hairpin is inserted diagonally in the hair, making the whole person dignified and charming.
Her lips are reddish, and her eyebrows are drawn into the distant mountains.
The woman in the mirror is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes away.
The maid who had been with her for many years stood behind her, inserting the last golden hairpin for her.
Looking at Bibi Dong in the mirror, the maid couldn't help but admire. "Saintess Hall is so beautiful today."
Bibi Dong looked at himself in the mirror, slightly in a trance.
She recalled that in the past, she was just an ordinary Saintess, practicing and handling official duties every day. She never thought that she would be today.
Marry the person you never expected and become his wife.
"Sister!"
The door was pushed open and Bibi Xi rushed in.
He stood at the door and looked at the dressed-up Bibi Dong, and he was stunned.
"Sister is so beautiful, she is as beautiful as a celestial being, just like a fairy from heaven -"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his arm.
"Hiss--"
He took a breath of air and turned to look at Ling Yuan beside him.
Ling Yuan was looking at him with a smile, her hand still pinched on his arm.
"No, you are even jealous of my sister."
"Bah! Who is jealous?"
"I just thought, why does this sound so familiar? Ha..."
"Have you said the same thing to many people, Bibi Xi?"
Bibi Xi grinned in pain. "No, no..."
Bibi Dong laughed on the side, "Xiao Xi, have you really said the same thing to many girls?"
Bibi Xi was about to cry without tears, "Sister! How could you do this!"
Ling Yuan's hand tightened again, "Tell me, who else have you told this to?"
Bibi Xi Looking at the two women in front of him, he suddenly felt that he might not survive today.
"Don't, don't listen to my sister's nonsense..."
"I, I just told you..."
Ling Yuan looked at him with obvious suspicion in his eyes.
"Really?"
"Really, really!"
"Realer than real gold!"
Ling Yuan stared at him for three seconds and finally let go.
"I believe you for now."
Bibi Xi rubbed his pinched arm, crying silently in his heart.
He decided never to flatter others in front of Ling Yuan again.
At least, she can't hear it.
In front of the dressing mirror, Bibi Dong was looking at her makeup in the mirror.
Suddenly, a feeling of nausea rose up in my throat.
She covered her mouth, her expression changed, she quickly got up and rushed to the toilet on the second floor.
"Sister Dong'er?" Ling Yuan was stunned for a moment and quickly followed.
Bibi Xi also reacted and quickly followed.
In the toilet, Bibi Dong was lying on the side of the sink, retching several times, but nothing came out.
Ling Yuan stood behind her and patted her back gently.
"What's wrong?"
Bibi Xi poked his head in with a nervous look on his face, "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"
Bibi Dong rinsed his mouth with water, straightened up, his face turned a little pale.
"I don't think..."
"I just suddenly felt a little nauseous."
Ling Yuan's hand paused.
She looked at Bibi Dong, her eyes suddenly became a little subtle.
"Sister Dong'er, have you had your period this month?"
