Luo Xiu reached up to scratch his head, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Ah, how could I possibly impose like this, having Sir Knight Commander lower themselves in such a manner?"
Luo Qingyu rolled her eyes, thinking he's probably too happy inside to even feel embarrassed.
"That's not right..."
At this mont, Luo Xiu suddenly froze in surprise.
He had just caught the key point in what Luo Qingyu said earlier.
With a peculiar expression, he looked at Luo Qingyu's elegant back and asked, "Did you just say... you're my wife?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingyu suddenly stopped in her tracks, turning quiet as if deep in thought.
The female battle armor she wore had a unique empty design at the back, resembling a "butterfly spreading its wings", revealing the leather inner armor that clung to her skin, subtly outlining the trace of a bra strap, veiled by her fragrant hair that gently added a touch of mystery.
It was then that Luo Xiu realized there wasn't a single feature on this female knight that wasn't alluring; she was truly a peerless beauty.
As Luo Xiu admired her beautiful back while waiting for an answer, Luo Qingyu suddenly turned to face him, as if aware he had been secretly appreciating her figure.
Luo Xiu t her gaze without dodging and asked, "Why did you stop talking?"
In the next mont, the usually proud and aloof Sky Mastiff Knight Commander displayed an uncharacteristic hint of seductive charm.
"My husband, please disrobe."
Luo Xiu asked, "Maybe you're mistaken?"
"Qing Yu will explain to my husband later. The hour is almost upon us; my husband should first bathe and change with Qing Yu."
"..."
A brief mont.
At the edge of the misty bath.
Luo Xiu stood still with his arms outstretched, quietly watching the serene expression of Luo Qingyu before him.
With Luo Qingyu's deft movents, his clothes fluttered off, and soon Luo Xiu stood completely bare.
In the face of a completely unclothed Luo Xiu, Luo Qingyu, who feigned calmness, couldn't help but blush a bright red.
"My husband, it is done."
"Uh..."
Luo Xiu only then snapped back to reality, feeling montarily awkward.
Suddenly, Luo Qingyu waved her jade hand, and with a shimr of light, the glorious armor she wore seed to evaporate.
Even the ribbon holding her ponytail disappeared, releasing her fragrant hair to fall freely to her waist.
The sudden subli sight left Luo Xiu dumbfounded and burning with heat.
"Damn!"
In his heart, Luo Xiu lanted, wishing he could find a crack to slip into, and began silently reciting his ntal technique to calm his unruly thoughts.
However.
His body reacted as if wielding a blood-burning skill, immune to all attempts at suppression.
Luo Xiu realized this might be due to the Nine Suns Creation Technique.
Ever since completing the cultivation of the Nine Suns Creation Technique through the Lotus Stele, the side effects on his constitution had been resolved, but his yang energy remained exceedingly vigorous.
When calm and composed, he felt nothing, but at the re thought of such matters, it beca hard to control.
This resulted in him losing control even if the woman before him wasn't Su Shenyun.
The air suddenly turned silent.
Luo Qingyu's gaze lowered, her heart racing, yet she maintained her composure.
She suddenly asked, "There's still ti, shall Qing Yu assist my husband?"
"Huh?"
Luo Xiu hadn't yet reacted when he saw Luo Qingyu kneel down on one knee before him.
Her movents were precise, like a knight returning triumphant, sacred and grand, kneeling for comndation.
Yet Luo Xiu knew what was coming next was far from sacred.
Kneeling on one knee in front of Luo Xiu, Luo Qingyu's face was calm, but her cheeks blushed slightly.
After a brief hesitation, Luo Qingyu parted her lips, releasing a soft, fragrant breath.
Soon after.
Luo Qingyu seed as if she had been famished for a long ti, savoring slowly at first, then devouring eagerly.
What Luo Xiu did not know was that for Luo Qingyu, the aura of Fortune-Forming Power radiating from him was equally irresistible.
After a long while.
Luo Xiu suddenly wore a look of "pain," instinctively holding Luo Qingyu's head tightly, his fingers entwined in her fragrant hair.
"Alright, alright, that's enough here!"
Luo Qingyu stood up, and without a word, suddenly pushed Luo Xiu towards the pool.
Luo Xiu, however, was quick to react, and as he fell towards the pool, he grabbed Luo Qingyu's arm, pulling her into his embrace.
With a splash.
Both fell into the water simultaneously.
Luo Xiu, without a thread on him, tightly held Luo Qingyu, savoring the indescribable soft fragrance, unwilling to let go.
"Have you hugged enough?"
"Uh... not enough."
Luo Qingyu twisted her tender body to break free, pushing Luo Xiu aside, "We'll talk next ti there's an opportunity; the wedding is about to start."
Then Luo Xiu sat cross-legged, the water in the pool just covering his chest.
He suddenly asked the previous question again: "What did you an when you ntioned a wife earlier?"
Luo Qingyu moved around to Luo Xiu's back, casually picking up a bath towel placed by the shore, and began to carefully scrub his back.
Luo Xiu felt as if all his bones were about to lt.
He decided to have Mu Yueqing learn how to scrub backs properly when he returned.
Luo Qingyu said, "Because Qing Yu will also marry Your Majesty along with the Holy Maiden."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu widened his eyes, "Why is that?"
Luo Qingyu suddenly leaned forward, pressing closely against Luo Xiu's back, causing his whole body to stiffen. Then she gently rubbed his arm back and forth, saying, "Every now and then, the Sacred Tree bears ten Dao Fruits."
"And for these ten Dao Fruits to survive smoothly until they mature, it's an arduous challenge."
"In normal circumstances, out of ten Dao Fruits, only one can survive."
"And the one Dao Fruit that survives in the end is called the 'Sacred Fruit.'
Luo Xiu nodded, carefully feeling the gentle touch on his back, said with forced composure, "A one-tenth chance, that's indeed quite small."
Luo Qingyu continued, "After the Sacred Fruit fully matures, the previous Holy Maiden, or the Holy Grandmother, selects a woman with pure Plateau bloodline to consu it. She then endures a painful fifteen-year gestation, eventually giving birth to a Holy Maiden."
"After the Holy Maiden is born, her biological mother returns to the Nine Heavens, having exhausted her Essence Blood, and the Holy Maiden is then raised and taught by the Holy Grandmother."
Upon hearing this, Luo Xiu frowned lightly, "So Luo Qingxian ca about this way?"
"Yes."
Luo Xiu asked, "Then what is your relationship with her? And what does this have to do with you marrying alongside her?"
Luo Qingyu said, "Because I am her Entwined Fruit."
"What is an Entwined Fruit?"
Luo Qingyu paused, saying, "In fact, this so-called Entwined Fruit was created by Your Majesty."
She continued, "The purpose and mission of the Entwined Fruit are to provide the Sacred Fruit with a constant source of vitality and nourishnt to ensure it doesn't rot or wither before it fully matures."
"When necessary, the Entwined Fruit might even sacrifice itself for the Sacred Fruit."
Luo Xiu asked with curiosity, "How did I create an Entwined Fruit?"
Luo Qingyu said, "Back then, after the Sacred Tree bore ten Dao Fruits, Your Majesty selected the one with the best potential and designated it as the Sacred Fruit."
"To avoid competition with the Sacred Fruit over nutrients, Your Majesty removed and refined eight of the remaining Dao Fruits into Essence, allowing it to be absorbed by the last Dao Fruit, which beca the Entwined Fruit."
"After that, under Your Majesty's Fortune-Forming Power, the Entwined Fruit continuously delivers Essence nourishnt to the Sacred Fruit."
Luo Xiu asked, "And then what happened?"
"Then... before the Sacred Fruit matured, Your Majesty was defeated against the Boundless Heavens."
"Because of this, without Your Majesty's interference, the Entwined Fruit ceased transferring Essence to the Sacred Fruit. Gradually, the Entwined Fruit grew together with the Sacred Fruit, becoming one."
Luo Xiu was silent for a mont and then asked, "So later on, were the two fruits eaten as one?"
Luo Qingyu nodded gently, saying, "After consuming the Sacred Fruit, my mother gave birth to both and the Holy Maiden."
"Actually, both Xian'er and I have the potential to be the Holy Maiden. It's even unclear to anyone who between the two of us is the Entwined Fruit and who is the Sacred Fruit chosen by you."
"Or you could understand it as, Your Majesty's actions back then resulted in two Sacred Fruits being born in this generation at the sa ti. This has never happened before in the history."
"Naturally, the Heavenly Plains cannot have two Holy Maidens coexisting, so this matter was concealed by the upper echelons, and Xian'er was chosen as the Holy Maiden. As for , I was trained as a Knight to lead the Sky Mastiffs in guarding the Plateau, engaging in battles and wars."
"As for why Qing Yu must marry you alongside Xian'er, it's because the two of us are in a symbiotic relationship. If we're apart for too long, we both weaken and eventually wither and die."
