The next morning.
“...”
Xu Yuan, who had just woken up in the new bridal chamber, still looked a little dazed.
His gaze drifted towards the distance.
He saw that at this time, on a stone bench.
His fourth sister, who had changed back into her usual plain blue clothes, was tying up her hair.
Unlike before.
This time, she was tying a Fallen Horse Bun.
It was the hairstyle of a woman who had already married.
“You’re awake?”
She turned her head to look at Xu Yuan, her words still carrying a chill.
As if nothing had happened.
But Xu Yuan knew what had happened last night.
His body seemed to still be enveloped in a faint fragrance.
“Forget it.”
Looking at the stunning beauty who was putting on her makeup.
Xu Yuan sighed.
He didn't say anything like ‘Why do you have to do this’.
Since she had already made her choice, saying those words would be insulting her.
So, he simply said: “Zhi霜 (Zhī Chuāng), I will not betray you.”
He considered this his response to last night.
“...”
After hearing this.
His fourth sister looked at him.
Those cold eyes and embroidered brows unexpectedly showed a hint of warmth at this moment.
The corner of her cold lips even curled into a faint smile.
That smile was fleeting.
Like spring melting snow, or an ephemeral bloom in the depths of night.
“Xu... Husband, just call me Fourth Sister.”
She simply replied softly.
“Fourth Sister, just call me Senior Brother.”
Xu Yuan chuckled: “You were smiling so beautifully just now, give this husband another smile?”
Upon hearing this, Fourth Sister only rolled her eyes at him.
For someone as cold and elegant as her, this was already a very intimate gesture.
“We should go see Mother.”
“You mentioned before that there were some things you needed to find in the Pan Silk Cave... I’ve already sent people to search, I expect there will be results in a few days.”
Without waiting for Xu Yuan’s reply.
She swayed her skirt and disappeared like a wisp of green smoke.
After she left.
Xu Yuan, who was left alone in the bridal chamber, looked at the bed sheets on the wedding bed, which were clearly different from last night.
He shook his head gently: “The most difficult thing to bear is the favor of a beautiful woman.”
As he muttered to himself, he thought of Fourth Sister’s fate in the game.
A glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes.
“Forget it, forget it.”
“Since things have come to this, I’ll just have to fight against Heaven.”
He murmured softly.
Then, he changed clothes, washed up.
He went out and went to Ruoxian Temple with Fourth Sister.
“Fourth Lord!”
“Fourth Lord!”
As Xu Yuan had expected yesterday.
This time, as he walked to the Pan Silk Cave, the little demons who crossed his path became noticeably respectful when they saw him.
This was not only because Xu Yuan and Fourth Sister had gotten married and were now the Fourth Lord of the Pan Silk Cave.
It was also because of the death of the four Scorpion Princes last night!
All the demons in the Pan Silk Cave knew.
This Fourth Lord was not lucky, but a truly powerful figure with great supernatural powers!
After entering Ruoxian Temple, Xu Yuan went with Fourth Sister to pay respects to Zi Zhu Er.
Zi Zhu Er was unwell and only glanced at Fourth Sister deeply.
As if she had seen something, this former Moon Palace fairy had a hint of a kind smile on her lips.
“Take good care of yourself, don’t damage your body’s vital energy.”
After giving this instruction, she dismissed the two.
Then, Xu Yuan’s fourth sister was greeted by the other five sisters of the Zhu family.
“Third Sister and I will go prepare some good tea for Brother-in-law and Sister.”
Big Sister looked at her fourth sister with amazement, as if she had also seen something.
At this time, she went with Third Sister, giggling and leaving.
As for Fifth Sister, she was now smiling and watching Sixth Sister tease Fourth Sister, chattering non-stop.
They were asking questions like ‘Brother-in-law was so cool last night’ and ‘Sister, why are you so pale, did Brother-in-law hit you last night?’ – typical childish talk.
Only Second Sister sought out Xu Yuan.
“Fourth Brother-in-law.”
As she spoke, she used magic to conjure up a few boxes of things: “These are gifts from the guests yesterday, I’ll leave them to you.”
She explained: “I’ve already had people check it – most of the gifts are gold and silver trinkets and wealth, the amount is recorded in this ledger.”
“The only special thing is the treasure mirror given by the Pig Steward of Xi Fu Mountain... It’s called the ‘照骨镜 (Zhào Gǔ Jìng) (Bone-Reflecting Mirror).’
“Although it’s not a powerful and magical divine treasure, it has some magical effects, keep it safe.”
As she instructed, Xu Yuan naturally smiled and accepted.
He also knew about the Bone-Reflecting Mirror.
In the game, this thing is the key to ultimately saving Pigsy.
It can shine through the soul and bone structure, very mysterious.
After accepting the Bone-Reflecting Mirror.
Second Sister hesitated for a moment, then said: “Fourth Brother-in-law, Second Sister would like to ask you a question.”
“Please speak, Second Sister.”
“The silk thread you used when you killed those four scorpions last night...”
Second Sister seemed a little embarrassed: “It was truly beautiful, can I take a look?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan was taken aback.
Then, he realized.
The Pan Silk Cave, and even the entire Lanxi Village.
The most famous thing was their weaving.
It was not only famous among the demons, but also in the human kingdoms of Zhuzi and Yue Tuo, with a great deal of business.
This weaving industry was founded and managed by this Second Sister.
She was very skilled in weaving, especially at using common Qin Langs, which were not really demons, but were born of the Qin Lang Fairy, as shuttles.
Now it seemed that Second Sister herself really liked weaving.
This was why she was so interested in Xu Yuan’s performance last night.
“Of course.”
Xu Yuan had no objections.
He simply waved his hand.
The next moment, the seven-colored ‘纺天丝 (Fǎng Tiān Sī) (Heaven-Weaving Silk),’ which seemed like a divine object, appeared in his hand.
Although there was only one strand, it truly seemed as if it had been woven by Heaven itself.
The rhyme of creation was indescribable.
“So beautiful... Did you make this, Brother-in-law? How did you...”
Second Sister’s face moved closer.
She even unconsciously reached out with both jade hands, wanting to touch the ‘Heaven-Weaving Silk’ in Xu Yuan’s hand.
“Second Sister.”
But at this time, Fourth Sister’s cold voice came.
This brought Second Sister back to her senses.
She realized that she had leaned too close to Xu Yuan, and her face instantly flushed.
But when she looked at the coldly aloof Fourth Sister behind her, she still muttered stubbornly: “Humph! Our Fourth Sister really... is already guarding her food.”
As soon as she said this, Fourth Sister’s face also turned slightly red.
But she still looked at Second Sister, without saying anything.
“Alright, alright.”
Therefore, Second Sister waved her hand and conceded.
But she still looked at Xu Yuan and couldn’t help but ask: “This silk thread... can you mass produce it, Brother-in-law?”
“It’s not possible – and this is what the one from Kunlun wants, I can’t give it to you, Second Sister.”
Xu Yuan shook his head.
This Heaven-Weaving Silk was currently his most valuable trump card and an extremely powerful killing technique.
He had estimated.
With his current cultivation level, he could only condense one strand of this silk thread every month using his Spiritual Energy.
Mass production was impossible.
However
“If my cultivation level is higher, or if the bloodline of the 【虫 (Chóng) (Bug)】 transformed Qin Xian ancient silkworms can be inherited... Then maybe this thing could be mass produced?”
Xu Yuan thought to himself.
Soon.
Big Sister and Third Sister returned with tea.
The sisters chatted together, and Xu Yuan kept them company.
For a while, both host and guest were happy.
In the following days.
Xu Yuan lived in the Pan Silk Cave.
He lived with the Zhu sisters every day, and gradually became familiar with them.
Of course, he would occasionally go up to Huang Hua Temple.
He would find the Bug General to practice martial arts, or he would find the Dharma Transmission Master to learn some basic spells.
Until half a month later...
“Found it?”
One morning.
Xu Yuan, who had just gotten out of bed, looked at Fourth Sister, who was lying on the bed in plain clothes, waking up like a blooming peony.
He was a little surprised.
“Yes... the message came this morning.”
Fourth Sister, whose pretty face was still a little flushed, raised her jade hand.
He saw that at this time, she had a small wisp of demonic energy in her hand.
Xu Yuan knew that this was a message from the little demons she had sent out.
“The bug you mentioned is near Juexiang Cliff, it often hunts small demons – that’s not a secret.”
“But the frog demon you mentioned... is hidden very deeply, it took a lot of time to find any trace of it.”
She lazily got up.
“But I don’t understand... why are these two demons useful to you?”
Upon hearing this.
A smile appeared on Xu Yuan’s face.
“Yes, they are more than useful.”
“If my guess is right – then those two demons have great opportunities!”
