Chapter 1: The Wedding Night (New Book...)

  "On January 1st, 2013, Old Cow wishes to witness the rise of new books with all reader brothers, let's cheer together and give it a boost!"

  As beautiful as a heavenly fairy?

  Is it an ugly yaksha?

  None of them!

  Miss Wu lifted the veil, and what first caught Guo Ye's eye was a ferocious bronze mask with a green face and sharp teeth. The flickering candlelight made it look even more terrifying!

  "Whoa!"

  At that time, Guo Yesheng's three souls were scared away and seven spirits escaped. He cursed angrily: "No wonder the dead beggar dragged his father to worship the hall, you are a demon, a demon!"

  Guo Ye was so viciously scolding that he couldn't see Wu Jia's expression under her bronze mask, however...

  A sound like thunder came from under the bronze mask, and the other party sighed softly and said slowly: "Guo Ye, have you forgotten our previous agreement?"

  The sound was like a gentle brook flowing through the mountains, and also like the faint scent of orchids in a secluded valley. Guo Ye's whole body felt numb and tingly, as if he had been drugged with sweetness.

  What a beautiful voice!

  The heavenly music was like a celestial being descending to the mortal world, instantly driving away the terror brought by the ferocious mask to Guo Ye, and his mind suddenly cleared up.

  Agreed!

  What's agreed upon?

  Kuo Yeh was taken aback, could it be that this foolish young man who had been possessed by a spirit still had an agreement with Miss Wu?

  How is it that I have no impression of Miss Wu in my memory, did this foolish child not even see her face before agreeing to marry into the Wu family?

  Illogical and confusing.

  Guo Ye immediately lowered his head to cover up the unnatural expression on his face, he absolutely couldn't let the other person see that he was a fake.

  Struggling to recall the remaining thoughts, only vaguely remembered that the other party's surname was Wu and her name was Xiuxiu, she was the daughter of Wu Maocai, a wealthy landlord in Dongliu Township. As for what she looked like and what kind of personality she had, there wasn't even a slight impression.

  Hey, soul possession time was too hasty, unable to inherit all of the other party's memories, typical post-traumatic stress disorder after crossing over!

  What is the agreement?

  For now, Guo Ye had no choice but to think of every possible way to coax the answer out of his opponent's mouth, or else things would get out of hand.

  Guo Ye immediately pretended to be calm and composed, with a smile on his face. He sneered: "Appointment? What appointment? You and I have already paid our respects to heaven and earth, seen the ancestral hall, and are now husband and wife. Don't you know the ancient saying that 'the husband is the wife's master'? In front of her husband, she still wears a strange mask to cover herself up, what kind of dignity is this?"

  After finishing speaking, Guo Ye thought anxiously in his heart, yes, as a husband for a wife, shouldn't it be like this?

  A cold laugh burst out from under the bronze mask.

  "Just then, Wu Xiuxiu coldly said: 'You scoundrel, if it weren't for Liu Laozhai's son Liu Amao constantly pestering me, do you think the Wu family would have taken in a tenant farmer's son as a son-in-law? Do you think I, Miss Wu, would go through the motions of being your fake wife? What a joke!'"

  In an instant, the sound had changed from a gentle murmur in the valley to a thousand miles of icy stillness, and Guo Ye's body also tensed up for no reason.

  Damn it, this little trick actually revealed a profound truth.

  What was originally referred to as an agreement is actually a fake marriage, only having the name of husband and wife but unable to fulfill the reality of being husband and wife.

  Fake emotional marriages have been happening since the Tang Dynasty, Guo Ye thought to himself, what a broadened horizon!

  See you later~~

  Kuai Ye's body suddenly stiffened, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up, because he finally realized what Wu Xiuxiu was getting at.

  Is Liu Lao Lai a neighborhood head? In ancient times, wasn't the neighborhood head just the village chief or township chief of later generations? This was also considered a big shot in the countryside in ancient times.

  The Wu family was afraid that the eldest son of the Li family would forcibly marry Wu Xiuxiu and seize the Wu family's property, so they used the trick of adopting an old man as a fake husband to block the Li family's covetousness.

  Damn it, damn it... It's really so unfair!

  Guo Ye was as if he had been slapped on the back of his head by an icy palm, and all the ins and outs suddenly became clear.

  Now that the Wu family has a son-in-law, Liu Lao Lai, the village elder, will definitely not dare to bully them again. But Guo Ye, who just arrived, inexplicably made an enemy of a powerful and evil tyrant in the countryside, where can you reason with him?

  Suddenly seeing through it all, I couldn't help but curse loudly once again in my heart.

  Paralysis, how ruthless is the Wu family, being muddled and confused by you guys, this is making me take a black pot once.

  Guo Ye was suddenly filled with regret and anger, his emotions in turmoil. He silently cursed himself for not being clear-headed earlier. What kind of brother am I? If only he had known this would happen, he should have insisted on staying inside the house back then, no matter what.

  Regretful, Guo Ye suddenly lifted his head and glared at Wu Xiuxiu, gritting his teeth word by word: "Wu Xiuxiu, your Wu family is just a bunch of scoundrels. I... want... to call off the engagement!"

  "Hehe,"

  Wu Xiuxiu's face, adorned with a bronze mask, slightly raised an eyebrow and sneered, "It's too late. Today, the heavens have been worshiped, the ancestors' hall has been seen, and the guests from the eight villages of Dongliu Township have all witnessed the ceremony. You are the son-in-law who married into our family; what qualifications do you have to call off the wedding? If anyone is to call off the wedding, it should be the Wu family. However, if the Wu family were to do so, it wouldn't be called calling off a wedding."

  "What's his name?"

  Wu Xiuxiu spoke from behind the bronze mask, blinking her lively eyes under it, saying word by word: "Husband..."

  Grass, rest husband?

  Always a big man chauvinist, Guo Ye has never been ridiculed and insulted like this before. This is just like putting hair gel on a monk's head - bullying people!

  Kuai Ye was speechless for a moment, his heart suffocating like the surging Huangpu River, unable to be contained. His eyes fixed on that ugly bronze mask, red-rimmed with rage, as he gritted his teeth and snarled: "Wu Xiuxiu, you're going too far! Tonight, I'll take care of you, and I won't rest until I've thoroughly crushed you, even if it means offending the Liu family's old man!"

  He finished speaking and suddenly stood up, baring his teeth and brandishing his claws as if he was about to pounce forward.

  In a flash of lightning speed, Guo Ye had already rushed to Wu Xiuxiu's side.

  Wu Xiuxiu never thought that Guo Ye, who was usually gentle and courteous, would suddenly become aggressive at this time. This was not the polite demeanor he had shown when they agreed to a fake marriage. Flustered, she immediately got up from the bedside and dodged away, flashing past the round table with two candle holders.

  Sigh...

  Guo Yueqi's energy was like a long rainbow, and with one move, he pounced on his opponent like a hungry tiger attacking a sheep.

  But it was all in vain.

  However, as the saying goes, "losing in the east and gaining in the west", Guo Ye's efforts were not entirely without gain.

  All that could be heard was a "clatter" as the bronze mask worn by Wu Xiuxiu was grabbed and knocked to the ground by Guo Ye's right hand.

  Kuo Ye is crazy!

  The candlelight flickers.

  A beauty is like jade.

  Underneath the bronze mask lies a face of breathtaking beauty.

  The country's color is fragrant?

  Drowned fish and fallen wild goose?

  Guo Ye couldn't find the right words to describe her at that moment.

  Suddenly, a poem emerged in Guo Ye's mind...

  There is a beauty in the northern land, alone and matchless. One glance of hers can topple a city, another can overthrow an empire.

  It's this feeling, cold and proud, compared to Wu Xiuxiu at this time, Diao Chan and Xishi are nothing but that.

  What's even more precious is that Wu Xiuxiu's fair skin has a tactile sensation that is even more comfortable, and when touched, it feels almost like it could be broken with a puff of air.

  Guo Ye's right hand, after sweeping away Wu Xiuxiu's bronze mask, happened to land on her fragrant shoulder, with his five fingers grasping the base of her neck, where the skin was exposed due to the low neckline of the Tang Dynasty wedding dress.

  Cool, really cool!

  Kuai Ye was abnormally enjoying the massage on Wu Xiuxiu's collarbone. With a beauty in front of him, under sensory stimulation, whatever nonsense about the Liu family, whatever evil tyrant, all were thrown to the back of his mind.

  Round neck low chest, bulging, Guo Ye slid down along the collarbone gesture, slowly, slowly...

  Hiss...

  Kuai Ye's right hand suddenly stopped, not daring to move another half inch down, and quickly withdrew.

  It was not that Guo Yezheng was a gentleman who would not take advantage of others' danger, but rather he clearly felt something sharp and pointed pressing against his abdomen.

  Guo Ye slowly lowered his head and looked at his own abdomen, saying "Oh my god, as the saying goes, 'lust is a knife on one's head', the ancients were indeed not deceiving Guo Ye!"

  However, the knife pressed against his lower abdomen was a shiny pair of scissors.

  The hands holding the scissors were none other than Wu Xiuxiu in front of her.

  At this time, Wu Xiuxiu was no longer the calm and proud person she was earlier. Instead, her face was filled with a fierce expression. Her eyes were cold and her voice was icy as she spat out a single word: "Get out!"

  The big scissors were pressed against the small abdomen, and if they went forward another inch, it would definitely be a fatal blow. Guo Ye was restrained by others and could only open his hands to show that he did not dare to make any sudden moves. Meanwhile, he kept reminding Wu Xiuxiu in his mouth: "Wu Xiuxiu, don't be impulsive, impulsiveness is the devil, I won't move, I won't move."

  Damn it, Guo Ye thought, having taken advantage of half of the small benefits, and the big benefits are within reach, but he really can't bear to give up.

  But looking at Wu Xiuxiu's attitude, it's impossible to make any progress today.

  But I won't believe it if I, Guo Ye, can't break through this iceberg of yours in the future.

  At that time, hum...

  Seeing Guo Ye's face with a subtle and ambiguous smile, in Wu Xiuxiu's eyes it looked lustful and despicable.

  Wu Xiuxiu gritted her teeth again, slightly advancing the scissors forward by an inch, and coldly shouted: "Get out! From now on, you'll sleep in the study. Without my permission, you're not allowed to set foot in the bedroom. Guo Ye, we only have a nominal husband-wife relationship; don't even think about having a real one. Did you hear me clearly?"

  Listening to Wu Xiuxiu's scolding, Guo Ye originally wanted to raise his neck and loudly curse, shouting "You think you can get away with this?", yelling "I'll make sure you pay for this!"

  But the sharp big scissors tied to the belly through the cloth shirt are not fooling around.

  Unable to withstand Wu Xiuxiu's little temper, she gave her brother a good scolding. The unluckiest transmigrator in history is none other than Guo Ye.

  But just leave with your tail between your legs?

  This is also too damn embarrassing, and even more so it has helped to fuel Wu Xiuxiu's arrogant momentum, this is not a good phenomenon.

  The little brother must turn over a new leaf, must regain some face, even if leaving the bedroom has to be done with a flourish, can't leave in such a sorry state.

  After much thought, Guo Ye's mind turned a thousand times, and unintentionally, he glanced out the window and caught sight of the bright moon in the night sky.

  Got it!

  Prostitutes love money, beauties love handsome men, and rich girls love talented scholars.

  Little brother will show you his skills today, otherwise he won't be able to pass as a time traveler.

  Guo Ye lifted his leg and patted the dust off his Confucian robe, shook his sleeves and put his hands behind his back. He looked out the window, then at Wu Xiuxiu who was still guarding him vigilantly, and slowly shook his head as he recited in a pretentious tone: "I originally intended to direct my heart towards the bright moon, but alas, the bright moon shines on... ditches..."

  She sighed again, shook her head lightly and turned around slowly to walk out of the bedroom. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Alas, what a pity..."

  Left Wu Xiuxiu with a lonely figure, under the moonlight stretching slowly.

  Listening to Guo's poignant poem, watching his fleeting back as he left, Wu Xiuxiu's hands relaxed...

  Bang!

  The scissors fell to the ground.

  But thinking of Guo Ye's despicable and shameless behavior just now, Wu Xiuxiu couldn't help but frown and sneer: "The poem is good, unfortunately it was written by this kind of person..."

  Looking out of the bedroom, Guo Ye's earlier desolate and lonely figure was gone. He turned around and swung his fists at Wu Xiuxiu in the room, as if filled with infinite fighting spirit, excitedly muttering to himself: "Wu Xiuxiu, come day will be long, little brother doesn't believe that Rolling Flame Red Lips can't crack open your thousand-year-old iceberg..."
