Shi Jiu blushed and replied with a smile. “Brother, though I don’t remember anything, 1 can start over. 1 won’t joke about my marriage.”

Tang Huaijin held Shi Jiu’s arm. “Let’s go and see my parents to discuss the marriage.”

Shi Jiu was dragged all the way to see Master Tang and Madam Tang.

Madam Tang and Master Tang naturally had no objections.

But Tang Huaixiao refused. “No, 1 won’t agree.”

Her objection was useless. Her parents had already started to prepare the marriage. Before she could start resisting, they had already informed the entire city and set the wedding date.

Tang Huaixiao went to look for Shi Jiu. She was very puzzled. “You don’t know me at all. Why did you agree to my brother’s request?”

Shi Jiu smiled. “Huaixiao, I’m willing to slowly get to know you because I have already started to like you.”

Tang Huaixiao looked at Shi Jiu and was shocked. She ran away in a hurry.

Shi Jiu had never thought of breaking off the engagement. He wanted to marry Tang Huaixiao.

Therefore, when Tang Huaixiao hinted at him to leave several times, he pretended not to understand.

It didn’t matter if his courtyard was guarded or not. He had no intention of leaving. He was prepared to marry her.

However, Liu Sanniang’s appearance was an accident.

After seeing Liu Sanniang in his dream twice, he suddenly knew that his escape was for someone else.

Even though they were in the same body, Shi Jiu still regarded Xia Hongming as another being. He woke up and tried his best to survive, but he did it for someone else. He was naturally indignant and wanted to have a body of his own.

He did not want Xia Hongming to come back because if Xia Hongming came back, he would disappear.

Disappearance meant death.

Shi Jiu was like Xia Hongming’s extra life. He was just a consciousness. He existed for Xia Hongming.

However, he did not want Xia Hongming to come back. He only wanted to be Shi Jiu.

What right did Xia Hongming have to come back and make him disappear?

Shi Jiu looked at Liu Sanniang with deep indignation in his eyes. Seeing Liu Sanniang retract her hand, he said calmly, “As long as 1 don’t, he will never come back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the Third Prince or the emperor.”

“Miss Liu, if you force him out, you’ll only make him a fool. Is a fool still useful?”

Shi Jiu smiled. A fool was equivalent to a cripple. What was the use of a cripple?

Liu Sanniang looked at Shi Jiu. “What are your conditions for leaving?”

Shi Jiu was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled. “I’m not a real person. I’m just a consciousness. If you want me to leave, you have to let me hold the wedding with Huaixiao as scheduled and marry her as my wife.”

These were the conditions that he had thought of long ago.

He couldn’t replace Xia Hongming because his existence wouldn’t last a year.

Even if he refused to leave, he would slowly disappear.

In that case, he might as well state his conditions openly. He wanted to marry Tang Huaixiao.

Shi Jiu thought that Liu Sanniang would not agree, so he was already prepared to negotiate with her.

However, Liu Sanniang nodded. “Sure.”

Shi Jiu looked at Liu Sanniang and smiled. “Thank you, Miss Liu. Don’t worry, 1 won’t do anything to Huaixiao. I know I’m not qualified.”

Getting her was already enough for him.

The person he loved was as pure as snow. He would not touch her with such a body.

Shi Jiu stood up and bowed respectfully to Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, please come to the wedding banquet in two days.”

Liu Sanniang nodded slightly before returning to the inn with Chu Yan.

Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan hid themselves and stayed in the Tang family.

Hu Yu went to keep an eye on Tang Huaixiao. Tang Huaixiao looked lonely and had a roll of drawing paper by her pillow.

Hu Yu sighed. “The Tang family is really pitiful.”

For generations, they had been kept in the dark. Since they were young, they had to endure things that ordinary people could not bear.

Liu Yuanyuan glanced at Hu Yu. “Who do you think cast the curse on the Tang family?”

Hu Yu shook her head.

Liu Yuanyuan said, “Do you think that the Divine Emperor whom Venerable Liu mentioned might be the one?”

Hu Yu thought for a moment. “Logically speaking, that shouldn’t be the case. He should have ascended to immortality long ago.”

Liu Yuanyuan smiled. “What if something happened and he failed to ascend?”

Cultivation was about ascension. If there was an accident and one couldn’t ascend, they would try other ways.

Hu Yu pursed her lips. “I don’t think so. 1 heard from my mother that it happened a thousand years ago. If he hadn’t ascended, the lightning tribulation would have killed him.”

“If he wants to become an immortal and still dares to commit evil, the karma is enough for him to suffer. If his path is wrong, what’s the point of cultivating?”

The more Hu Yu thought about it, the more she felt that it was impossible. When they cultivated, the thing they had to avoid the most was committing evil.

Liu Yuanyuan frowned and did not say anything. What Hu Yu said made sense, but the world was so big that there were all kinds of strange things happening around.

Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu stayed in the Tang family. The Tang family was peaceful, so Liu Yuanyuan focused on cultivating while Hu Yu went to see Tang Huaixiao.

Tang Huaixiao treasured that painting. Early in the morning, she would practice her swordsmanship. This was a habit she had developed over the years. Her swordsmanship was extremely outstanding.

Hu Yu praised under her breath as she watched her. If not for Tang Huaixiao’s face, she would be an admirable figure.

A figure walked in from outside the courtyard. When Tang Huaixiao saw him, she stopped.

Shi Jiu walked closer and closer. Tang Huaixiao frowned and put away her sword. She was afraid that she would accidentally hurt him.

Tang Huaixiao said coldly, “What are you doing here?”

After saying that, Tang Huaixiao felt a little regretful. She was too cold. She wanted to be gentle, but she was already used to hurting people because this was the only way she could protect herself better..
