Time flies, especially the peaceful time, which always passes faster than usual.
Like a white pony passing through a crevice, it's impossible to catch.
As the wedding day drew nearer, Yang Xue suddenly felt a bit nervous and restless. Maybe this was pre - wedding jitters.
Sun Wukong had been extremely busy lately, running around the Three Realms to ensure that Yang Xue's wedding would be as perfect as possible. He wanted the whole Three Realms to be in awe and envy his woman.
Tang Seng once told him that no one had ever thought that Sun Wukong would fall in love, let alone imagine that this unruly monkey would one day become a paragon of a good man.
Since then, Sun Wukong had been determined to prove himself. He wanted all the demons, gods and immortals in the Three Realms to see that he could take good care of his woman and was no worse than any other man!
If Yang Xue knew that he was spurred on, she would surely laugh at him but more importantly, feel sorry for him.
The surprise she had prepared for the Great Sage was already quietly completed.
On the day before the wedding, it started to snow lightly on Flower - Fruit Mountain. The snowflakes fluttered down, covering the entire mountain.
"Sister, this snow came just in time. It seems that the heavens are also blessing you two. May you grow old together," Qing Qing quietly walked up to Yang Xue, who was standing by the railing looking at the snow. She said with a smile, "The Great Sage is really lucky to have found such a beautiful and capable wife like you."
Yang Xue raised her hand and tapped on her forehead. "Who says he's the lucky one? I'm also fortunate. The Great Sage is so considerate and gentle. He always puts my feelings first. We complete each other."
Qing Qing clicked her tongue. "Oh, I can't stand you. It's really true that love is blind."
"Humph, it's just that you guys haven't discovered the Great Sage's goodness," Yang Xue said, a bit indignant. She couldn't understand why everyone couldn't see what a perfect man the Great Sage was.
"Well, now I finally understand why you chose him," Qing Qing whispered in her ear. "I heard from Dong Zhu that the Great Sage, regardless of past grudges, asked Xuan You how to make you happy and took him to find new clothes for you."
"Xuan You actually agreed to go. He probably wants to get Yue Bai back," Yang Xue snorted. "Yue Bai is mine now. If he wants to coax her, he has to get through me first."
"So, he sent over a dozen boxes of gold and jewels early this morning, saying that you and Aunt Yue Bai would split them equally. I didn't expect that old leopard would also learn from the Great Sage and play the role of a passionate lover. He's quite something in front of the Great Sage," Qing Qing said, scratching her head in distress. "But Qing Zhu hasn't even kissed me yet. Do you think he doesn't like me?"
"..." Yang Xue was shocked, but then thought of the Great Sage's situation before and wasn't too surprised. "Then you can take the initiative."
"How? Teach me," Qing Qing said, with a mischievous smile on her face. "I heard that the Great Sage couldn't resist your beauty trap and fell right into it. I must learn from you!"
"Get out of here. Who's spreading such nonsense?" Yang Xue's cheeks flushed. She turned around irritably. "I'm not joking with you. I'm almost done with the gift for the Great Sage. Go play by yourself."
"Sister Xue'er..."
"You're getting the generations wrong. I'm your aunt's master. Don't call me sister from now on!"
"Auntie, please teach me!" Qing Qing clung to her, not letting go.
"..." Yang Xue closed the door. How could she be so old that she was called "Auntie"?
She walked behind the screen and entered the dressing room she had built. The most prominent thing hanging there was a fiery red wedding dress. The Great Sage had asked the most skillful embroiderer in the human world to make it for her, which took six months. It had captured her heart at first sight.
She had connected two adjacent stone chambers and decorated it in a style that combined modern and ancient elements, creating a wedding room that she was quite satisfied with.
However, standing on the tiger - skin covered floor, she always felt that something was missing.
Although the room was filled with night pearls that the Great Sage had found from the East Sea and wasn't dim, she still wasn't satisfied.
"Xue'er, Xue'er, where are you?" Just then, the Great Sage's voice came from outside. He quickly entered the dressing room to look for her.
"What's up?" Yang Xue walked out. Seeing the snow on his shoulders, she gently brushed it off. "The wedding is tomorrow. Why don't you take a rest? You can delegate the other tasks to others."
"It's my own wedding. I'll only have this one chance in my life, so I can't leave it to others," Sun Wukong said. His hands were a bit cold. He took out a large pearl from his bosom like offering a treasure. "Look, isn't this black pearl beautiful?"
"This is..." Yang Xue knew that black pearls were extremely precious, especially one of such good quality. It was priceless.
"Didn't you say you wanted a ring for the wedding? I've found three for you. This biggest one can be inlaid on a gold ring," Sun Wukong said, holding her finger and feeling it carefully. "I'll go and make it now. It'll be done by tonight."
"Great Sage, thank you," Yang Xue said, deeply touched. She didn't expect that he would take to heart what she had said casually.
"What did you just say?" Sun Wukong put away the ring, frowned and lifted her chin. "Say it again!"
Yang Xue understood. She giggled and kissed his cheek several times. "Husband is so good. Husband has worked hard."
"That's better," Sun Wukong said, smiling contentedly. He pressed her against the wall and kissed her to his heart's content. Then he whispered in her ear, "Wait for me tonight. I'll devour you."
He hadn't had much time to be intimate with Xue'er these days because he was busy preparing for the wedding.
"Okay. I'll wash up and wait for you," Yang Xue said, very cooperative.
"Good," Sun Wukong said. His ears turned red. He quickly turned around and walked out. "I'll go and get busy first."
Yang Xue snickered. His walking posture seemed a bit strange.
...
Early the next morning, everything was bustling with activity.
Early in the morning, Yang Xue was woken up by Qing Qing, Yue Bai and a group of little girls from Flower - Fruit Mountain to get dressed and make up.
Yang Xue wanted to decline, but then heard that the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was outside.
She quickly got up. "Let her in."
When they heard that the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva had come, the other girls in the room were extremely nervous. They clasped their hands together and stood aside quietly, waiting for her.
Soon, a white - dressed woman walked into the room slowly, bringing with her the fragrance of lotus flowers. The whole room seemed to brighten up.
She was holding a wooden box in her hand. She walked up to Yang Xue with a smile. "Congratulations. This is your wedding gift."
The others stared with wide eyes and nudged each other excitedly. "The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva actually gave a wedding gift. Auntie, I want one too!"
Yue Bai pinched her. "Keep your voice down. Don't be delusional."
"Actually, there's another gift. Someone asked me to give it to you," the bodhisattva said. Then she took out a golden box.
"Whose is it?" Yang Xue looked at the delicate patterns on the box. Just the box itself seemed quite valuable.
"The one who suffered from the demons in his heart because of you," the bodhisattva said, slowly putting the box in front of her. Calmly, she continued, "Actually, he never intended to kill you. He just wanted to see you. Back then..."
"I understand," Yang Xue said, smiling slightly. She stroked the box with her hand. Softly, she said, "I'll accept his gift. Thank him for me."
The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was slightly stunned, then smiled faintly. "Okay."
...
The auspicious time had arrived. Yang Xue and Sun Wukong, dressed in fiery red wedding clothes, walked hand in hand slowly on the long steps outside the Water Curtain Cave.
The guests who came to attend the wedding were from the Heavenly Court, the Western Paradise, the mortal world, and even the King of Hell had come. They stood on the cloud platforms on both sides, watching the wedding of the two most unexpected immortals in the Three Realms without any obstruction.
Sun Wukong today was really eye - catching. Dressed in the wedding clothes, standing in front of the most beautiful saint in the Three Realms, he didn't seem inferior at all.
They couldn't help but sigh. When did the Great Sage Equal to Heaven become so handsome and elegant? His eyes, which seemed to be glued to Yang Xue, were full of tenderness and love.
The Supreme Lord Lao Jun and the Patriarch Bodhi stood together and couldn't help but sigh. "The world is unpredictable. Who would have thought that the monkey would turn out to be so dazzling? Compared with the God Erlang, he's almost on a par."
"Yeah, I didn't expect that he would look so elegant when dressed up. He's barely worthy of the saint," the Patriarch Bodhi said, nodding kindly. "This naughty monkey actually managed to win the heart of the most charming woman in the Three Realms. It's really surprising."
"He has the ability," the Supreme Lord Lao Jun said in a low voice. "He asked me for quite a few golden pills. He really knows how to please a woman."
