The Wedding Dress is Like Fire, Love is Promised Among Flowers

The Hundred Flowers Festival, this annual grand event in Snow Moon City, was pushed to an unprecedented climax because of Su Changqing's earth-shattering "One Thought Blossoms" and his dazzling "Wide-Sleeved Fairy Dress".

Petals fluttered down like a pink snowflake, gently covering the entire city.

The air was filled with a rich and intoxicating floral fragrance, mixed with the envious screams of the girls, the heartfelt praises of the young heroes, and the booming shouts of Lei Wujie, all intertwining to create a romantic symphony of the martial arts world.

Li Hanyi hugged Su Changqing tightly, her cheek pressed against his broad, warm chest. Listening to his steady, powerful heartbeat, she felt as if the whole world had quieted down.

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

But this time, it wasn't about feeling wronged or sad, but about overflowing happiness.

She recalled that snowy night many years ago, when she was alone, holding her still-infant Nuonuo, gazing at the cold, bright moon atop the Cangshan Mountain, her heart filled with despair and loneliness.

At that time, she thought that she would only be accompanied by swords for the rest of her life and would never be able to experience the warmth of ordinary people again.

She recalled the hardships of raising her daughter alone for the past three years, the heart-wrenching pain of being woken up by her child's cries every night, and the pain of seeing other children being held by their fathers while Nuonuo could only watch enviously.

But now, it was all worth it.

The man is back.

He not only gave her a home and a safe haven, but also a glory and affection that would make all women in the world envious.

"Silly girl, why are you crying? Your makeup is going to be ruined."

Su Changqing gently cupped her face and lightly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with his fingertips.

His movements were very light and slow, as if he were polishing a rare treasure.

"I...I'm just happy..."

Li Hanyi sniffed, her voice still slightly choked. Her eyes, which were usually cold and aloof, were now shimmering like spring water, full of tenderness.

"You can't cry even if you're happy, today is our big day... Well, even though it's just a proposal, you still have to look your best."

Su Changqing smiled, turned around and took out the "Wide-sleeved Flowing Fairy Dress" from the brocade box.

The moment the wedding dress appeared, it seemed to draw even the surrounding light to it.

Red, a passionate, dazzling red, like a burning flame, or like the sunset on the horizon.

The skirt is woven from the legendary silkworm silk, as light and thin as a cicada's wing, yet incredibly strong, and it shimmers with a faint golden light in the sunlight.

The skirt is embroidered with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, made of the tail feathers of the nine heavenly phoenixes. Each bird is lifelike, as if it is about to spread its wings and fly away at any moment.

Even more miraculously, the wedding dress seemed to be enveloped in a faint aura, bringing a sense of peace to anyone who looked at it, as if it could wash away all the dust and troubles.

"This...this is a divine artifact?"

Sikong Changfeng, who knew his stuff, stood in the crowd, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Although he knew that Su Changqing had extraordinary abilities, he never expected that he could produce a treasure of this caliber!

This is hardly a wedding dress.

This is clearly a top-tier defensive magic weapon!

Wearing it, you'll be invulnerable to swords and spears, and even a full-force attack from a master of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm wouldn't be able to harm you in the slightest!

"What a waste! Such a waste of money!"

Sikong Changfeng sighed and clutched his chest, feeling his heart bleeding again.

Such a wonderful item! Wouldn't it be great if it could be given to Snowmoon City as a prized possession? Even just lending it to him to wear for a couple of days to show off would be wonderful!

"Here, let me put it on you."

Su Changqing ignored the intense gazes around him; his eyes were only on Li Hanyi.

He gently unfolded the wedding dress and softly draped it over Li Hanyi's body.

A miraculous scene unfolded.

The seemingly elaborate and gorgeous wedding dress automatically adjusted its size the moment it touched Li Hanyi's body, perfectly fitting her figure!

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light shot into the sky!

When the light faded, Li Hanyi had changed her appearance.

Her original elegant light purple dress had disappeared, replaced by a fiery, flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress.

The wide sleeves fluttered in the wind, like red clouds.

Her skirt trailed on the ground, and every step she took seemed like a lotus blossom emerging from the ground.

Even more stunning was the addition of a gleaming golden phoenix hairpin to her hair, with a luminous pearl the size of a longan held in its beak, shining brightly.

At this moment, Li Hanyi was breathtakingly beautiful!

She was no longer the aloof Snow Moon Sword Immortal, nor the cold and arrogant Lord Li.

She is a bride.

The most beautiful and happiest bride in the world!

"hiss--"

A collective gasp filled the room.

Everyone was stunned.

Whether male or female, young or old, everyone was deeply moved by the beauty of this moment.

"Is...is this a fairy descending to earth?"

"She's so beautiful... If I could marry a wife like her, I'd be willing to give up ten years of my life... no, fifty years!"

"Wake up! That's Mr. Su's wife! Do you want to die?"

In the crowd, Lei Wujie's mouth was agape, and he didn't even bother to wipe his drool all over the ground.

He nudged Xiao Se beside him: "Xiao Se, Xiao Se! Is that really my sister? My sister is so beautiful? How come I never noticed before?"

Xiao Se rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "That's because you're blind. Your sister is the most beautiful woman in the world, but she's usually held back by that broken sword and that tattered mask."

"Oh...that seems so."

Lei Wujie scratched his head, then grinned foolishly, "Hehe, with such a beautiful older sister, doesn't that make me handsome too?"

Xiao Se: "..."

This brain circuit is beyond saving.

"Mommy is so beautiful!"

Little Nuomi clapped her hands excitedly and circled around Li Hanyi, saying, "Mommy is like the red sun! Nuomi wants to wear pretty clothes too!"

"Okay, I'll make one for Nuonuo too."

Su Changqing picked up his daughter and kissed her on the cheek.

Li Hanyi looked down at her wedding dress, feeling the silky smooth texture and the warm spiritual energy. Her cheeks flushed and her eyes sparkled.

She looked up at Su Changqing, and all her unspoken words were finally expressed in a shy and sweet smile.

"Thank you... my husband."

That cry of "husband" was so tender and full of affection, it was like a thousand turns of a thousand words.

Su Changqing felt as if his bones had melted.

Worth it!

Even if it offends all the single people in the world, even if it costs all my savings (although most of them were obtained through scams), at this moment, it's all worth it!

"You're welcome, my wife."

In front of everyone, Su Changqing lowered his head and kissed those alluring red lips deeply.

"oh--!!!"

This time, the commotion was even louder than before, almost shaking the heavens.

Amidst a shower of petals, the two embraced and kissed, becoming the most beautiful sight at the Hundred Flowers Gathering and a legendary tale passed down through the ages.

……

The festivities continued until late at night.

As the last embers of the cigarette faded into the night sky, and as the last guest departed, tipsy and with plenty of fodder for conversation, Changqinglou finally returned to tranquility.

Second-floor bedroom.

The red candles are lit, and the atmosphere is warm and cozy.

Little Nuomi was tired from playing today and had already fallen fast asleep on her little bed, still clutching the abacus in her arms.

Li Hanyi sat in front of the dressing table, slowly removing the hair ornaments from her head.

Her face, still flushed, was reflected in the bronze mirror, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Su Changqing walked behind her, took the comb from her hand, and gently combed her cascading black hair.

Are you tired?

He asked softly.

"Not tired."

Li Hanyi shook her head, turned around, and took his hand. "Today... is the happiest day of my life."

"Me too."

Su Changqing kissed the back of her hand. "But this is just the beginning. From now on, I want to make you this happy every single day."

"Mmm." Li Hanyi nodded obediently.

The two gazed at each other silently, a warm yet ambiguous atmosphere filling the air.

a long time.

Su Changqing suddenly spoke up: "Hanyi, there's something I'd like to discuss with you."

"What is it?"

"Regarding...the trip to Tianqi."

Upon hearing the word "Apocalypse," Li Hanyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on her face faded a bit.

She knew this day would come sooner or later.

From the moment Su Changqing took in Xiao Se, and from the battle at Lei Family Fortress, they were already caught in that enormous vortex.

"Have you made up your mind?" Li Hanyi asked softly.

"Um."

Su Changqing nodded, his gaze deep.

"Although Xiao Se's physical injuries have mostly healed, his emotional wounds still require a remedy. If he isn't allowed to return to Tianqi and settle those scores, he will never truly find peace in this life. Moreover..."

He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Those people hiding in the shadows have gone too far. This time it's the Dark River, next time it's the Tang Clan, and the time after that? I don't like this feeling of being watched. Since they want to play, then I'll go to their lair and have some fun with them."

"Stir up that pool of water, catch all the big fish hiding at the bottom, and kill them all!"

Li Hanyi looked at him and felt his domineering aura and resolute determination.

She neither tried to dissuade her nor expressed any concern.

She simply held Su Changqing's hand tightly, her eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"Okay. Wherever you go, I'll go."

"Whether it's Apocalypse City or the battlefield of Shura, I'll be with you."

"Even if I have to fight against the whole world, I will not be afraid as long as you are here."

This is the promise of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal!

We'll be together through life and death, never to be separated!

Su Changqing felt a warmth in his heart and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't worry, it's not that serious. Those clowns aren't worthy of being my enemies. The main reason we're going is to take Nuonuo on a trip, and incidentally... collect some interest."

"Charge interest?" Li Hanyi asked, puzzled.

"yes."

Su Changqing smiled mysteriously, "Xiao Se owes me three thousand taels, plus that kid Lei Wujie's food expenses, plus the travel expenses to Tianqi this time... these debts need to be reimbursed, right? I heard that old emperor in Tianqi City is quite rich, it's not too much to ask us to take advantage of him, is it?"

Li Hanyi couldn't help but laugh: "You're obsessed with money."

"That's called being a good homemaker!"

Su Changqing said matter-of-factly, "Besides, I still need to give us a formal wedding. That costs money, doesn't it? Today's proposal was lively, but it was still too simple. I want to give you the grandest wedding in the world! Let everyone know that you, Li Hanyi, are my wife, Su Changqing's wife!"

Li Hanyi was moved, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

……

the next day.

As the first rays of sunlight shone into Changqing Building, the people inside had already begun their busy work.

However, today's busyness is different from usual.

Lei Wujie wasn't carrying a plate; instead, he was wiping his Killing Fear Sword. Wushuang wasn't chopping vegetables; instead, he was carefully inspecting his Wushuang Sword Case. Xiao Se wasn't doing accounts; instead, he was packing his belongings, putting on the fox fur coat he had treasured for so long.

Everyone knows that the peaceful days are over.

A new journey is about to begin.

"Brother-in-law! Everything's packed! When do we leave?"

Lei Wujie excitedly rushed into the hall, carrying large and small bags (all of them food).

"What's the rush? Have breakfast before you leave."

Su Changqing came out carrying a pot of steaming millet porridge. "You need to eat well to have the energy to travel."

"Yes, yes, yes! Eating is the most important thing!"

The group sat together, eating their last breakfast in Snowmoon City.

Although it was just simple congee and side dishes, everyone ate it with great relish.

Because they knew that this journey was not only about facing the storms, but also about embracing their own glory and future!

After the meal, the group left Changqing Tower.

At the entrance, the iconic luxury carriage had been waiting for a long time.

Song Yan, carrying the Broken Water Sword on her back and a basket of freshly bought vegetables in her hand, stood beside the carriage, looking at Wushuang with a complicated expression.

"My disciple... are you really determined to go to Tianqi?"

"Um."

Wushuang nodded and patted the sword box on his back.

"Master, I want to go and see. I want to see just how strong the masters of this world really are. I want to see if my sword can leave a mark on Tianqi City."

"Good! That's ambitious!"

Song Yan patted his shoulder forcefully.

"As expected of a disciple of my Peerless City! Go! Don't embarrass me! If you can't make it here, remember to come back. Your master has saved that kitchen knife for you!"

Wushuang: "..."

The touching atmosphere was instantly ruined.

"Alright, stop being so wishy-washy."

Su Changqing carried Xiao Nuomi onto the carriage, waved to the crowd, and announced, "Let's go! Destination—Apocalypse!"

"drive!"

Lei Wujie flicked his whip, and the carriage slowly started moving.

Under the watchful eyes of countless citizens of Snowmoon City, this team, destined to stir up a storm in the world, embarked on its journey to the north.

The wheels rolled on, raising a cloud of dust.

Inside the carriage, Little Nuomi leaned against the window, watching Snow Moon City gradually disappear into the distance, and suddenly asked:

"Father, are there any fun things to do in Tianqi City?"

"Yes, I have."

Su Changqing patted her head, his gaze lingering on the distance. "There are many self-important officials, many magnificent palaces, and many... deserving bad guys."

"Daddy will take you to take off all their hats and kick them like balls, and turn their palaces into a playground, okay?"

"Yay! Let's kick the ball! Let's play at the playground!" Little Nuomi clapped her hands happily.

Looking at his daughter's innocent smiling face, Su Changqing's smile deepened.

Apocalypse City...

Luo Qingyang, the Lone Sword Immortal?

Imperial Preceptor Qi Tianchen?

And what about Emperor Mingde, who sat on the dragon throne?

Hopefully you are ready.

because……

I am coming.
