Chapter 2804: Chapter 2805: Bridal Chamber
Bai Ruozhu smiled again and said, "You’ve all endured so much hardship, it’s time for your suffering to end, the heavens won’t be so unfair."
Lanlan nodded vigorously, "Okay, I’ll try my best."
The calamity finally subsided, everyone busied themselves again. Some ingredients were no longer usable, leaving only a portion. Bai Ruozhu immediately sent Jianqi and Yizi out to shop, and by evening, fresh ingredients had been bought.
That night, Little Dengdeng was taken away by his father again, he complained, "Is mom going to be busy tomorrow?"
"Yes, still busy." Jiang Yichun grumbled, wanting to sleep with his wife in his arms.
"So busy, isn’t it going to be three busy days?" Dengdeng asked.
Jiang Yichun’s eyelids twitched and he stood up abruptly, "You lie down first, I’ll go find your mom."
He had a feeling, if Ruozhu got too happy, there would be a big three-day feast, and he couldn’t endure another three days! No, he had to nip her idea in the bud!
"Three-day feast? That’s a great idea." Bai Ruozhu’s eyes shined, nodding continuously.
"Don’t fuss, your body can’t take it." Jiang Yichun’s lips shook with anger, regretting his words. He felt like slapping himself hard.
Bai Ruozhu laughed, "I’m in good health, there’s nothing I can’t take, as long as Lanlan and the morning breeze get past this stage smoothly."
Jiang Yichun remained silent, hoping Lanlan and the others have a good outcome.
No words were spoken overnight. The next morning, Bai Ruozhu got up early to organize the ingredients, Jiao Ling also came to help though she had been unwell, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t bear to see her working hard.
"Aunt, I can do it myself, don’t tire yourself." Jiao Ling said.
Jiao Ling shook her head, "Let me do something, keeping busy prevents my mind from wandering."
Though today is a joyous day, if unsuccessful, tomorrow might be the morning breeze’s memorial day, and Lanlan might not live past three days.
Fen Gu is unlike other poisonous insects, unable to be expelled with a gold body, and Xiao Mao can’t devour it, Bai Ruozhu is helpless too.
But those are the worst outcomes, everything should be thought of in a positive light.
"Alright, then let’s work faster." Bai Ruozhu said no more, and the two got busy, time passed quickly, soon reaching the auspicious hour.
The couple bowed to the heavens and earth, the banquet began, everyone sat happily, eating the wedding wine, offering congratulations and wishing Jiao Ling’s family auspicious sayings like harmony and early blessings.
Jiao Ling kept a smile on her face but felt stiff. Bai Ruozhu was unsure and went to accompany Lanlan for a while in the bridal chamber.
"Do you have a way to pass the Fen Gu to him?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
"I’ve never tried, but it should be possible." Lanlan said blushing.
Bai Ruozhu felt a bit reassured, chatted with Lanlan for a while, then returned to the kitchen to busy herself.
The feast continued into the evening before ending, guests departed, but the Bai Family remained preoccupied.
As night fell, the family lost their appetite for dinner, unable to go outside the bridal chamber to eavesdrop, silently praying for the couple.
"Is it really okay?" Inside the bridal chamber, Lanlan whispered like a cat.
"I, I can do it." The morning breeze said, his face flushed red, feeling nervous, it was his first time after all.
"Don’t blow out the candle, I’m scared." Lanlan whispered.
"Alright, I’m a bit scared too." The morning breeze said.
Lanlan couldn’t hold back a low laugh, and the morning breeze joined in, they looked at each other and laughed harder, losing some of their nervousness.
The matter progressed naturally, but the Fen Gu stubbornly stayed in Lanlan’s body, and the morning breeze wasn’t one to raise poisonous insects, with no way to lure it over.
"What, what should we do?" Lanlan blushed, feeling anxious.
The morning breeze was even more anxious; his mind was a mess, and his snake arm was out of control.
"Ah, be careful!" He shouted urgently, but it was too late; the snake arm flew out toward Lanlan’s neck.
Lanlan screamed in pain, and the Phoenix Poisonous Insect flew out quickly, with the Fen Gu following out of Lanlan’s body.
As if it was competing with the Phoenix Poisonous Insect, with it not appearing, neither would it.
The two insects appeared together, and the snake arm retreated in fear, but the Phoenix Poisonous Insect felt its master was in danger, angrily leaping forward.
The Fen Gu charged as well, Lanlan regained her senses and quickly summoned the Phoenix Poisonous Insect back into her body.
But the Fen Gu was enraged by the snake arm and didn’t seek Lanlan, instead fighting it.
The snake arm was no match, quickly bitten to death.
The morning breeze felt piercing pain, thinking he couldn’t survive. Bai Ruozhu had disagreed with cutting or killing the snake arm, suggesting he would die too.
Sure enough, he felt weaker, fearing he couldn’t accompany Lanlan through life.
His gaze landed on the Fen Gu, which was flying toward Lanlan again.
No way! Even if he dies, he can’t watch Lanlan get hurt; he resolved to use his last strength to perish with the Fen Gu.
He gritted his teeth, activated his inner strength, and charged at the Fen Gu, with his last hand fiercely reaching forward, grabbing the Fen Gu.
Since it’s all over, he had to crush the Fen Gu!
The Fen Gu buzzed loudly, someone dared to provoke it?
It bit down hard on the morning breeze’s palm, though he was in pain, he refused to let go.
"Morning breeze, are you okay? Don’t scare me." Lanlan cried loudly.
The morning breeze had no strength to speak; all his power was focused on his hand, on crushing the Fen Gu.
Blood dripped from his palm, slowly onto the happiness blanket, the bright red blanket darkened visibly, just marking a wet spot.
The Fen Gu drilled outward desperately yet went into his palm instead.
The morning breeze collapsed in pain, seeing Lanlan one last time before losing consciousness.
"Morning breeze!" Lanlan screamed miserably, losing control of her emotions and fainted.
Bai Ruozhu and the others heard commotion and disregarded all taboos, rushing into the bridal chamber.
"Lanlan!" Jiao Ling turned pale, rushing over to wrap Lanlan in the blanket.
Jiang Yichun went to support the morning breeze; the snake on his arm was dead, with its tongue outside.
"Ruozhu, this..."
Bai Ruozhu hurriedly took out the silver needle, but before it was used, the morning breeze’s snake arm changed.
The snake skin withered bit by bit, the whole snake seemed dehydrated, but wind-drying shouldn’t be so fast, could it be drained of moisture suddenly?
Snake scales and dry flesh fell off, revealing the arm wrapped inside!
It turns out the morning breeze’s arm wasn’t gone, but controlled by the snake, completely inside it!
Suddenly, the morning breeze opened his eyes, screamed in pain, spitting blood fiercely.
"It’s the Fen Gu! His body can’t withstand the Fen Gu’s power." Bai Ruozhu was anxious, suddenly thinking of Quanxin’s spiritual liquid, and quickly fed a drop into the morning breeze’s mouth.
