Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Only Want to Marry Him
"How can that be? The Little Divine Doctor is just performing the enlightenment ceremony for you. Your husband is Quansheng."
Nanny Wen Zhen said with an embarrassed expression.
If another bride had said such a thing, she would definitely be criticized, but everyone understood that Wen Zhen had some mental issues.
"I don’t want to marry Quansheng, I only like the Little Divine Doctor."
Wen Zhen pouted her red lips in anger, tossing the wedding dress onto the ground.
"You can’t act out like this, girl. Obediently put on the dress and get married. Quansheng doesn’t mind that you’re a bit silly. If you don’t marry him, no one else will want you."
Nanny Wen Zhen grew a little anxious. Her daughter was already twenty-five, and remaining unmarried at that age in the village was considered quite late.
Initially, she was reluctant to marry off the childlike Wen Zhen, but later, when she wanted to find her a match, no one was willing to do the enlightenment ceremony. Now that there’s finally a chance, she can’t continue to indulge this child.
"Sob... Mom, you’re bad, I don’t want to get married!"
Wen Zhen couldn’t help but cry. She thought things were very simple and didn’t understand the bizarre rules in the village.
At that moment, Yang Cheng rushed in, saying seriously, "Auntie, I should be able to cure Wen Zhen’s illness."
At these words, everyone’s eyes widened.
"How is that possible! Wen Zhen’s condition has been there since birth, it’s not some external injury that can be cured with some medication."
"Didn’t the old doctor say before that Wen Zhen lost her soul and could never be cured in this lifetime?"
Everyone started discussing, and Auntie Pang came back to her senses, quickly reaching out to push him away, "Oh dear! Little Divine Doctor, the enlightenment is done, and you’re entering again, that’s not according to the rules!"
But Nanny Wen Zhen grabbed his arm with surprise, saying, "Little Divine Doctor, is what you’re saying true?"
"Yes, I took Wen Zhen’s pulse last night. She indeed has congenital deficiencies, and her mind is much less sharp than others’, but I can treat her with acupuncture. Even if she can’t become completely normal, it can get her closer to an average person’s intelligence."
Yang Cheng had already considered treating her last night, but such congenital illnesses, especially those related to the brain, are very difficult to treat and require a gradual approach.
Upon hearing this, Nanny Wen Zhen was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude, saying, "Little Divine Doctor, thank you. Regardless of whether she can be fully cured, you are a benefactor to our Wen Family!"
Yang Cheng nodded slightly, then moved to Wen Zhen, gently persuading, "Zhen Zhen, from now on, big brother will give you acupuncture every day, and you’ll become smarter and smarter."
"I don’t want to become smarter, I just want to marry you."
Wen Zhen staunchly insisted, as people with simpler minds can often be more stubborn, and once an idea forms in her mind, she is set on fulfilling it.
"This girl is just being stubborn. Little Divine Doctor, you should leave first. I’ll talk to her and it’ll be alright."
Nanny Wen Zhen sighed and took Wen Zhen’s arm to help her put on the wedding dress.
Yang Cheng furrowed his brow and eventually turned away and walked out of the room.
"Brother! Don’t go! Sob sob..."
He heard Wen Zhen’s cries behind him, and a sour feeling welled up in his heart, but there was nothing he could do to change things.
The rules of Hidden Cloud Village were set, and she was already promised to someone else. He was just an Enlightenment Master, and once the enlightenment ceremony was over, he should become a stranger to the bride.
Yang Cheng habitually went to Yun Chan’s house and bumped into Wen Ying as soon as he entered. They locked eyes and awkwardly looked away.
He felt embarrassed because last night’s vivid dream showed him aggressively pursuing a woman passionately under him.
As long as he saw Wen Ying now, those images would automatically surface in his mind.
It was truly embarrassing!
"Breakfast isn’t ready yet, go wait in Yun Chan’s room."
With a flushed face, Wen Ying dropped that line and dashed away as if Yang Cheng were some kind of monstrous beast.
Feeling confused, Yang Cheng decided it was better to have less contact with Wen Ying for now, so he turned and headed back to Da Shan’s house.
At this moment, Da Shan’s parents were preparing breakfast as well. Seeing him return, they warmly greeted, "Little Divine Doctor is back!"
"Uncle, Auntie, thank you for taking care of Auntie these past days."
Yang Cheng expressed his sincere gratitude, as Ni Qingyao’s hefty appetite had polished off all of Da Shan’s stored food.
Despite feeling sorry for their loss, Da Shan’s parents bore no resentment and continued to care wholeheartedly for Ni Qingyao and Kong Lingwen.
"There’s no need to say that. Without you, our Da Shan wouldn’t have made it back alive. We two old folks might not know when we’ll pass, and though achievement escapes us, cooking is how we repay you."
The couple spoke with tears of gratitude, full of appreciation for Yang Cheng saving their family of three.
Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "I should thank you. I went to town yesterday and brought back a lot of food. After breakfast, Da Shan can go with me to retrieve it from the car."
"Alright then!"
Da Shan agreed with a hearty laugh.
Kong Lingwen and Ni Qingyao walked out just then.
As soon as they sat down, Yang Cheng inquired with concern, "Auntie, how is your health now? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"No more discomfort, I feel full of energy now, as if I’ve become younger!"
Ni Qingyao replied with a radiant smile, her slender fingers brushing her face, indeed looking more youthful, appearing to be a few years younger, indistinguishable in age from Kong Lingwen as they sat together, more like sisters.
The Purifying Spirit Spring truly is a miraculous elixir capable of rejuvenation!
Yang Cheng mused, having purified the Taotie’s Remnant Soul from Ni Qingyao the next step was practicing the Cultivation Technique.
Delaying this could cause the Pig Source Qi to surge again and injure her body once more.
After breakfast, Yang Cheng first led Da Shan to the car for supplies. They carried large bags, distributing some snacks and candies to the children they met on the way.
"Da Shan, these are for you. If you consider me a brother, don’t refuse."
Yang Cheng’s words left Da Shan with no room to refuse.
He graciously accepted with a laugh, "Thank you, Brother Cen."
Yang Cheng patted his shoulder and made his way into Ni Qingyao’s room, where she was casually reading, her loose hair enhancing her tranquil beauty.
Approaching her, he said, "Auntie, come with me up the mountain now. I want to teach you the Cultivation Technique, and it’s best to extract the Pig Source Qi from your body before leaving Hidden Cloud Village."
Ni Qingyao looked up, a bit nervous, "Xiaochen, what happens if the Cultivation Technique fails?"
"Don’t worry, if it fails, we’ll try again. I’ll do my best to help you."
Yang Cheng gently reassured her, taking advantage of the morning coolness, leading Ni Qingyao up the mountain quickly.
They arrived at the water source area, with a clearing spacious enough for both to practice the Cultivation Technique.
