Chapter 931: Chapter 925: Talking Dirty Jokes All Night

Gu Youyou looked at him and nodded gently.

She had always respected his choices, even if he refused to acknowledge them, she would go along with him. Now, she was becoming more open-minded about it.

Being alive was more important than anything else, a truth only those who had faced life and death could understand.

Jin Zijin softly kissed the corner of her mouth, touching it as briefly as a dragonfly skimming the water, before pulling away and whispering, "Then, I’ll have to step back from the Dao Family, but only in name. Ajing will take over my position. Now that Xuanzong is no longer a threat, Ajing is more than capable of handling Huo Li. And then..."

Suddenly, he stopped and didn’t continue.

Hearing only half of it, Gu Youyou tugged at his arm, saying, "And then what? Just finish what you’re saying!"

Jin Zijin started to laugh and said, "I’ve promised to marry you with honor, and then... naturally, you will be waiting to be the bride."

Overflowing with joy that almost burst from her heart, Gu Youyou grabbed his collar and asked, "So, are you also planning on marrying a main wife in the first month, two consorts in the second month, and then four concubines in the third month, just like King Jin and Prince Qin?"

Jin Zijin laughed heartily, as if after years of planning, they could finally be together openly. He was rarely this happy.

Jin Zijin lay flat on the bed, his hands under his head, staring at the canopy above and said, "I’m not like them; I can only handle one like you. If you prefer it to be lively, why don’t you give me a few jabs with the needle? You said you could do it before, I wonder if you have the skills, hmm?"

The color of Gu Youyou’s face fluctuated between red and white as she climbed on top of him, her hands pinching his face into various shapes, and she threatened fiercely, "If you dare, I’ll make sure to turn you into a frostbitten eggplant..."

"So, are you planning to remain a chaste widow? I remember you’re quite..."

"Ah... shut up!"

They ended up exchanging jokes all night long. Jin Zijin’s thick-skinned moments were truly a surprise to her.

...

Eunuch Wan Decheng, the emperor’s favorite, had been standing outside Sanqing Temple with the imperial edict for several days. Poor Wan Decheng, who was usually received as an honored guest and thanked profusely wherever he delivered the edict, was now repeatedly turned away from Sanqing Temple.

The young Daoist, seeing Eunuch Wan Decheng waiting in the cold despite his age, felt pity and stepped forward to advise, "Eunuch Wan Decheng, you should return for today. The Dao Sect has been busy lately, as you know. Our senior brother is so busy that he hasn’t had a moment’s rest for days; how could he have the time to see you?"

He was the only one in the world who could dismiss Eunuch Wan Decheng’s delivery of the edict so casually.

Even the Heavenly Master Tian Jizi and the State Preceptor Yu Jizi had to give him some courtesy, and Eunuch Wan Decheng had been favored by the emperor for many years for a reason.

But he was helpless before this one individual.

Shivering with cold, Wan Decheng sneezed again, clearly unable to bear it any longer, yet he resolutely decided to keep waiting.

"This old servant will continue to wait. The Prince holds a distinguished status; it is only proper for me to wait."

Seeing that he could not be persuaded, the Daoist youth reluctantly fetched an umbrella from inside and said, "Then please take this umbrella. It’s better than nothing."

"Ah, thank you, young Taoist."

Inside Qianyuan Hall, Yue Rujing frowned and said, "Brother, Wan Decheng has been waiting for eight days now. How long do you plan to keep him hanging? The whole court is watching; some are even betting on how many days it will take before Wan Decheng can get you to agree."
