Chapter 102: The Pinnacle of the Demon Realm (Conclusion)


    Li Tang was forced to perform the wedding rituals with no parents around, so that part was skipped, and finally, the couple bowed to each other.


    After the ceremony, Chuzhengy back down on the soft couch, “Alright, don’t bother me unless it’s important.”


    Li Tang: “…” The bridal veil hasn’t even been lifted yet!


    Pfft!


    What veil is there to lift!


    Li Tang pulled off the headscarf, “Today doesn’t count.”


    “It counts.”


    “It doesn’t count.” He wasn’t prepared for anything, what veil was there for him to lift?


    “It counts,” Chuzheng emphasized.


    Li Tang folded the headscarf neatly and ced it in her hand, “It counts, it counts, take good care of it.”


    Chuzheng was very generous, “I’ll give it to you.”<div>


    “…”


    Li Tang looked at the item in his hand and expertly put it away.


    When Chuzheng had fallen asleep again, he lifted her up and carried her to the small loft in the back.


    The small loft was cozily arranged, and Li Tangid her on the bed.


    He sat beside her, observing her in the moonlight.


    Li Tang’s fingertips brushed over Chuzheng’s forehead, “What does it take for me to be in your eyes?”


    Heart Demon: “I with…”


    I won’t hurt her, and I won’t allow you to hurt her either. Give up on that thought.


    Heart Demon: “…”


    The Heart Demon was dumbfounded.


    It would leave! Was it okay for it to leave now?!


    After that day, the Heart Demon never showed up again.


    The Heart Demon arose because of her and perished because of her.


    –


    Chuzheng refused Li Tang’s n to prepare for the wedding again, first because it was troublesome, and second, it was still troublesome.


    Therefore, Li Tang’s ns were nipped in the bud.


    He could follow his own ns, but if Chuzheng didn’t cooperate, what he did was essentially meaningless.


    Li Tang became well-behaved, and asionally when Chuzheng saw him, she would take the initiative to kiss him.


    It might be habit, or perhaps something else.<div>


    In any case, Li Tang wasn’t sure what she was trying to express.


    Actually, even Chuzheng herself wasn’t clear, she just did it because she wanted to.


    “What’s this?”


    As soon as Chuzheng entered the room, she saw a torn book upying her bed.<div>


    [Miss, if I’m not mistaken, this should be a…]


    The King’s ount hadn’t finished speaking before Chuzheng threw the book out the window.


    [Dual Cultivation Manual.] The King’s ount calmly finished thest four words.


    “Dual Cultivation Manual?” Chuzhengy on the bed, “Is it powerful?”


    [That is…], the King’s ount thought for a moment; his miss seemed quite clueless about these matters.


    She wasn’t slow, she was just generally uninformed.


    Of course, the King’s ount thought she was toozy to inform herself because to her, something new, if deemed useless and troublesome, would not be touched, not considered.


    […It’s when a man and woman do that thing, then increase their cultivation.] The King’s ount forced himself to exin once.


    “I am very powerful, I don’t need to increase my cultivation.”


    […The point is that thing.] Who’s discussing cultivation with you?


    “Which thing?”


    […] Is it really okay to make a system struggle like this? [It’s that thing… erm, perpetuating the bloodline, continuing the legacy! Get it, miss?]


    “Mating?”<div>


    […] The King’s ount was almost shocked enough to go offline.


    Why would Misse up with such a word? Who on earth taught you that!!


    “Boring.”


    Chuzheng gave a two-wordmentary and then ignored the King’s ount.


    The next day, Chuzheng saw that tattered book again.


    She threw it away, but it quickly returned within her sight.


    Chuzheng was so annoyed that she ultimately destroyed itpletely.


    But new copies would soon appear.


    Chuzheng: “…”


    Chuzheng flipped through the book, which contained unspeakable positions, yet she looked on with an unchanged expression, her eyes not varying in the slightest.


    “Can this really enhance cultivation?”


    After finishing the book, Chuzheng expressed her doubts.


    […]Whether or not it could enhance cultivation, it didn’t know, but it was certain to enhance feelings.<div>


    However, Miss probably didn’t want to understand…


    –


    When Li Tang returned, he noticed the book had been touched and his eyebrows lifted slightly.


    But as soon as Li Tang saw the annotations on the book, he suddenly lost all interest.


    Did she really take this as a martial arts secret manual?


    Was it necessary for her to point out the unreasonable parts?


    Was it necessary?


    Li Tang, dejected, put away the book.


    In the following time, no matter how Li Tang hinted, Chuzheng remained indifferent, or she would give him a reaction he could never have anticipated.


    One day, Chuzheng awoke and sat in a daze on her bed.


    Li Tang entered from outside and, seeing her awake, immediately put down his things and came over, kissed her first, and then asked, “Did you sleep well?”


    “Mhm,” Chuzheng got out of bed, lifting the covers, “What are you doing?”


    “Nothing much.” Li Tang straightened her ck hair, struck by a sudden inspiration, “May Ib your hair?”<div>


    Chuzheng formed a gesture and her somewhat disheveled hair automatically gathered into a beautiful bun.


    “There.” Perfect! I am awesome!


    “…”


    Li Tang drew out a hairpin and ced it in her hair, cupped her face, and kissed her, but Chuzheng emotionlessly pushed him away and left the attic.


    Every time Li Tang tried to do something, Chuzheng would manage perfectly on her own, leaving him utterly frustrated.


    Couldn’t she give him a chance?


    The days Chuzheng and Li Tang spent together were uneventful; Li Tang seemed to have given up on doing anything, just apanying her properly every day.


    asionally at night, he would sneak into her bed and sleep with her for a while, andter Chuzheng allowed him to sleep next to her without protest.


    Li Tang thought in self-mockery, the progress was not too bad.


    They could share a bed now.


    In the sunset, their silhouettes ovepped.


    The autumn wind whistled, and golden fallen leaves were carried far away by the wind.


    “Why did youe to save me?”


    “Hmm?”


    “The dungeon.” He had gone back to that ceter and found it well-hidden; impossible to find unless one was deliberately searching for it.


    But he still couldn’t understand.


    Why? They were strangers, unrted, nothing more…


    “No reason,” Chuzheng propped her chin up.


    Li Tang nced at her, the warm glow of the sunset tinting even the pale skin of her earlobes.


    “If it wasn’t me in that dungeon, would you have saved them?”


    “No.”


    “Why?”


    Chuzheng looked aside, an indifferent expression on her face as if the answer was obvious, “Because it wasn’t you.”


    Li Tang’s lips curled slightly, “So, you dide to save me.”


    “Yes.” To be precise, it was the Good Person Card.


    “But you didn’t even know me.”


    “Yes.” Chuzheng grew a bit impatient, “Why do you have so many questions?”


    Li Tang held her hand, interlocking their fingers, “I was just thinking… if back then, the person you saved wasn’t me, whether you’d be here with that person now.”


    With someone else here?


    Chuzheng couldn’t imagine the scene; she’d never thought about being with someone else…


    To do the things she had done with Li Tang with someone else was something Chuzheng found uneptable.


    She couldn’t articte the reason, it was just a feeling.


    Strange yet elusive.


    Chuzheng suddenly averted her gaze, turning to look at the sunset on the horizon.


    She said with conviction, “There is no such ‘if’.”


    Li Tang paused for a moment, then embraced her, “Yes, there is no such ‘if’.”

    The third realm has concluded.
