Chapter 420 : Man and Woman Alone Together, Convenient Indeed

She shook her head and, when she was about to leave, Han Shanyue, who was resting on a rattan chair, suddenly turned his head towards her, as though he realised something.

Ning Xuemo was startled!

Although she could not see his facial expression clearly, she could feel that his gaze was on her.

They exchanged looks for a brief moment before Ning Xuemo composed herself,nodding gently towards him to indicate her departure.

Just when she turned around, the person in the hall spoke abruptly, "Wait a minute." His voice sounded desolate as always.

"Is there anything else?" Ning Xuemo stopped her stride and stood at her original position outside the door.

"Come in and talk. Or are you worried that I will eat you up?"

"It's late, and it's not convenient for unmarried couple to be alone in a room. So, if Master Han has anything to say, please go ahead and get to the point." Ning Xuemo did not move an inch from where she was.

"You are still concerned about that?" Han Shanyue spoke calmly without any emotion.

However, Ning Xuemo felt his remarks were mocking, and she could not be bothered to decipher the reason behind it, so she just turned to leave. Yet, she felt a force pulling her from her, and she found herself involuntarily moving backwards into his courtyard.

That force was too strong for her to overcome it. Then, once she was dragged into the vicinity of his rattan chair, that force suddenly disappeared, causing Ning Xuemo to almost fall on him. Fortunately, she stood firm immediately before it even happened.

"You…" She was infuriated and glared at him.

She was close to him, so close that she could smell the faint particular perfume on him.

"You are already my fiance, hence it is convenient if it's just the two of us." Han Shanyue explained to her and pointed to that stone bench and instructed, " Sit over there."

Ning Xuemo sighed silently, because their skills level were so far apart that it was not advantageous for her to confront him directly. She recomposed herself and sat on the stone bench nearby before looking at him, "What exactly do you have for me?"

"Why are you speaking so harshly to me?" Han Shanyue raised his elbow and rested it on the armrest of the chair. He then supported his head and, with his black luscious hair falling down to the sides, he looked less desolate and was a bit laidback.

He practically "dragged" her here and still expected an amicable conversation? How dare he!

Nevertheless, Ning Xuemo replied indifferently, "Then how else should I talk to you? You may be my fiance but have you never treated me like one? I'm just a concubine…"

"A concubine is still considered to be a wife, and I will be your husband in the future."

Ning Xuemo almost choked. Husband? This word was unfamiliar to her! She would never be able to use this word on the man before her eyes. And moreover, this man may not even be her husband if she escaped successfully.

Yet, she was aware that this man before her was too perverted, and he knew how to extract memories from others. Hence, she sorted her emotions out and stood up, "It's getting really late, if there's nothing else, I would like to take my leave."

"How are the preparations with the wedding dress?" Han Shanyue asked her from behind.

"It's just marrying a concubine, why bother with a wedding dress. At most I will wear a new set of clothing on the day itself." Ning Xuemo answered without a care. She would not be the bride on that day anyway.

"You really didn't make any preparations?" Han Shanyue asked again.

Three more days before the wedding day and she had been going out every single day but yet she did not prepare anything for the wedding?

Of course she would not, she was not really into marrying him!

In order to avoid suspicion, she blushed a little and explained, "This… is my first time, so I don't know what is there to prepare, hence… I allowed Old Zhong to settle everything for me."

The force is always with Han Shanyue. You have a great Jedi on your hands, Luke Skywalker.

Chapter 421 : Come With Me!

Han Shanyue was speechless.

He sounded neither too cold nor too excited, "It's my first time too!"

"Then, have you prepared the bridegroom's attire yet?" Ning Xuemo retorted him.

"I dislike the crimson color!" Han Shanyue sat upright slowly, "Do you like the color crimson?"

"Me? I'm alright with it, but since you are only taking in a concubine, it doesn't matter if you decide to wear the crimson groom attire or not. However, if you were to marry someone as the main wife, no matter how much you hate it, you'll still have to wear red. Otherwise, the other party's family will not be pleased," advised Ning Xuemo who rarely gave her genuine advice to others.

Han Shanyue stared at her, "So, you still want to watch me marry someone?"

Whether or not you marry is none of my business! Ning Xuemo was rolling her eyes in silence.

"Look, you are already taking a concubine, and you will definitely be marrying someone else as your official wife. This wife will be the one who will stay with you throughout your entire life. Therefore, you shouldn't skip all the necessary formalities and traditions as it is a form of respect to your wife. For example, you should have a grand wedding, prepare a proper phoenix headgear and red cloud cape for her and not let her do it herself… Even if you hate the color, do it for your wife…"

"Do you care about all these?"

"Of course I wouldn't, but your future wife will. You will understand when you meet the right one whom you love and marry. You will be worried about whether she'll feel indignant or have grievances, and you will do everything to your best ability to prevent that… Alright, it's really getting late, I have to rest now." Ning Xuemo greeted and gestured to him before leaving.

When she was near the exit, he added, "Then you don't have to prepare the bridal wear."

Ning Xuemo paused, "Sure."

It looked like he finally understood that the bridal wear would only be worn if it was a potential wife candidate. And this was not something required of her who was a concubine to do…

However, due to some unknown reasons, her heart felt slightly uncomfortable.

Just when he was about to leave his courtyard, he spoke again, "Tomorrow noon will be my inauguration ceremony as the Heavenly Master, you may like to come and join us."

Ning Xuemo acknowledged it casually and left.

This Heavenly Master ceremony seemed fun and exciting.

But it was also a good opportunity to escape, she had to take this chance.

When she was about to change attires and sleep in her own room, she noticed something, and turned around sharply, "Who is it?"

The window opened by itself, and a person jumped inside.

Even in the dark, the silhouette of this person was very familiar.

Xi Jue!

He was wearing the same attire as he did when he was doing guard duties at the Hou Residence, and it made him look astute and valiant.

Ning Xuemo did not expect him to come back, especially when it was already so late into the night.

Should he not be back at the Bright King family clan already?

"Xi Jue, why are you here? And with that attire, I'm afraid that my place is too humble to accommodate such an honorable figure as yourself. You should have just sent a messenger to inform me of your arrival, and I would be gladly receive you grandly…"

Ning Xuemo was half joking about it.

And as for this youngster, she had a good impression of him, and looking at him, it reminded her of her own brother.

"I couldn't come in my formal attire." Xi Jue was in all black as if it was a shadow casted.

"Ah? It can't be? The entrance here was not locked and you could enter as you wish."

"You're right, the door wasn't locked, but there was also no other way to reach the Ning Residence other than the main road, as nobody, including the officials, are permitted to enter the place. It was said that because Heavenly Master appreciates peace and quiet, hence he politely refused all of their visits. Moreover, he was staying at your place, so…."

Ning Xuemo was speechless as she neglected this problem.

And during all this time, Ning residence was going through tough times.

And Xi Jue appears… Knight in shining armor? Here to rescue Ning Xuemo from the evil clutches of the drag – er, Han Shanyue?

I have an unhealthy obsession with unicorns and phoenixes. Like, it’s seriously unhealthy. My computer wallpaper is a phoenix rising from the ashes, my phone wallpaper is a unicorn dancing on a rainbow, my bedroom walls are “unicorn blue,” my school notebooks all have unicorns/phoenixes on them, and I even have a washi tape rack dedicated to these two. Like, seriously. It’s that bad.

Are you more Star Trek or Star Wars?
