The red veil was thin and hung in front of his eyes. Although he could still see, he couldn't see clearly.
Chu Wanning's eyes were hazy and his face was gloomy. He was brought to the parlor by the ghost.
Opening his eyes and seeing the person standing there through the red veil, Chu Wanning felt the temperature around him drop by several degrees.
Mo Ran was also stunned.
No ā€¦ Shouldn't it be Shi Mei who came out?
The "bride" in front of him was wearing bright red makeup, and her face was covered by a thin veil. Although her facial features were slightly blurred under the veil, no matter how he looked at it, it was still Chu Waning's cold, handsome, and murderous face. She was glaring at him unhappily, and that gaze was as if she wanted to kill someone.
Mo Ran, "ā€¦"
He was at a loss at first, then his expression gradually became complicated. All kinds of emotions flashed across his face like a merry-go-round. In the end, it became a strange silence. He and Chu Wanning looked at each other. The atmosphere was awkward to the extreme.
However, the golden boy and jade girl following behind them giggled and clapped their hands, and began to sing in a crisp voice.
"White Dishui, the waves are clear; Ghost Mandarin Duck, the flowers are welcome.
Together in the coffin, lying in the same hole; the will before the body, the will after death.
From now on, the two will accompany each other in the netherworld, lonely souls will never leave each other. "
The song was ghostly, but it also revealed a lingering sadness.
If he could speak, Mo Ran only wanted to say one word.
"Pei."
But he couldn't speak.
In front of the stage, there was a man and woman made of paper. Although they didn't have faces, they were dressed luxuriously. They were slightly loose and bloated. They should be representing the middle-aged parents.
The officiant began to sing again, "The bride is charming and shy. She lowers her head and her eyes are soft. The red veil covers her face and her smile. Please come and lift the veil."
"ā€¦" Mo Ran was very reluctant at first, but when he heard this, he was about to go crazy from holding back his laughter.
Hahahaha, the bride is charming and shy. Ahahahaha!
Chu Wanning's face was ashen. He suppressed his anger and closed his eyes, as if he would lose his hearing if he did so.
The Wandering Ghost smiled and handed a folding fan to Mo Ran. "Fan" and "good" had the same pronunciation, referring to the good karma of this marriage.
"The groom, please lift the veil."
Mo Ran held back his laughter and followed her advice. He held the fan and lifted the veil in front of Chu Wanning. His eyelashes fluttered with laughter as he looked at Chu Wanning's moving face.
As if sensing the other party's mocking gaze, Chu Wanning held back for a while, but he couldn't hold it in any longer and suddenly opened his eyes. His pair of eyes flashed with lightning and were filled with murderous intent.
However, when paired with the red veil on his hair and the fiery red wedding dress on his body, although the sharpness could not be reduced, the corners of his eyes, which were slightly red because of anger and grievance, actually had a unique charm.
Mo Ran looked at such eyes and couldn't help but be stunned. His smile froze in an instant.
The master in front of him suddenly overlapped with a moment in his previous life. For a moment, he didn't know what was going on.
Although it was only a short moment, it was enough to make Mo Ran break out in a cold sweat.
He had done three ruthless things to Chu Wanning:
The first was to kill, and that was to use a killing move against Chu Wanning.
Second, humiliate, forcing Chu Wanning to have sex with him.
Third ā€¦
Third, it was the happiest thing he did in his previous life, and also the thing he regretted the most later.
Of course, the Emperor of the Human Realm would not admit that he regretted anything, but the torment in the depths of his heart could not be escaped in the end.
Damn it.
Why did he think of that crazy past again, and think of Chu Wanning at that time?
Mo Ran shook his head and bit his lips, trying to get rid of Chu Wanning's face in his memory, and looked at the person in front of him again.
Chu Wanning had been staring at him with an "I'll kill you" look.
Mo Ran didn't want to provoke this thorn, so he had to pretend to be a grandson and smile with a helpless face.
The officiant said, "The bride and groom, wash and wash."
The so-called wash and wash was that the newlyweds had to wash each other's hands after they had cleaned themselves.
The ghost came with a porcelain pot full of water and asked the two to wash their hands. The water was collected by a basin below.
Chu Wanning's face was full of disgust, but he had to wash for the other after washing himself.
Mo Ran was a little absent-minded, so he seemed to be restrained. He silently washed Chu Wanning's hands. Chu Wanning was not good-tempered, so he splashed the whole pot of water on Mo Ran, and half of his sleeve was wet.
"ā€¦ ā€¦ ā€¦"
Mo Ran stared at half of his wet sleeve for a while. He didn't know where his mind was wandering, but there was nothing on his face. Deep in his dark eyes, there was a subtle light flowing.
He thought in a daze.
Chu Wanning didn't change, he never changed.
His actions, his thoughts, his past life, this life, it was exactly the same, he didn't change at all ā€¦ ā€¦
He slowly raised his head, and there was even a moment when he felt that he was standing at the peak of life and death, standing in front of the Shaman Mountain Hall. Chu Wanning walked towards him from the bottom of the stairs, and the next moment, he was going to kneel in front of him. His noble head was going to hit the ground, and his straight back was going to bend. Chu Wanning was going to kneel in front of him, and never get up.
"The wash and wash is done."
The Wandering Ghost suddenly sang a long song, waking Mo Ran up from his memories.
He abruptly regained his senses and met Chu Wanning's pair of eyes. Chu Wanning's pitch-black pupils flashed with a piercing cold light, like a curved blade covering snow, causing one's heart to tremble in fear.
Mo Ran: "ā€¦"
ā€¦ Er, the previous life was still the previous life. He could only think about Chu Wanning kneeling in front of him in this life. If he wanted to make it happen, the price he had to pay was too great ā€¦
After the washing ceremony, there was the ceremony of being in the same cell, and then the ceremony of being in the same position.
The Demonic Spirit sang slowly, "Husband and wife drink a cup of wine together, never to leave each other."
They exchanged their cups and bowed to the heavens and earth.
Chu Wanning looked like he was about to go crazy from anger. His slightly raised slender phoenix eyes narrowed dangerously. Mo Ran reckoned that after he left, he would be considered light if he chopped that damned MC into pieces.
But this kind of Chu Wanning really couldn't be scrutinized.
Even if he took one more look, he would fall back into those messy and dirty memories, unable to extricate himself.
"First bow ā€” kneel to the heavens and earth ā€”"
Originally, he thought that even if it was just a show, with Chu Wanning's arrogance, he would definitely not kneel. But he didn't expect that in order to complete this set of steps, his eyebrows twitched, and he closed his eyes and actually knelt down. The two of them kowtowed together.
"Second bow ā€” kneel to the elders ā€”"
Alright, I'll just kneel to those two faceless paper dolls. That can also be called elders.
"Third bow ā€” kneel to the heavens ā€” husband and wife kowtow to each other ā€”"
Chu Wan Ning lowered her deep eyes and didn't even look at Mo Ran. She turned around, and with a clang, she quickly bent over and gritted her teeth so hard that they almost broke.
Who knew that the two of them didn't have a tacit understanding. When they got closer, they bumped into each other with a bang.
Chu Wanning sucked in a breath of cold air from the pain. He held his forehead, raised his teary eyes, and glared fiercely at Mo Weiyu who was also rubbing his forehead.
"ā€¦" Mo Ran could only mouth, "I'm sorry."
Chu Wanning didn't say anything. With a gloomy face, he rolled his eyes.
Then it was the hair-tying ceremony. The praising official sang, "Tying hair as husband and wife, loving each other without suspicion". The ghost handed over the golden scissors. Mo Ran couldn't help but shrink back, afraid that Chu Wanning would directly stab him to death if he was unhappy.
Chu Wanning seemed to have this intention, but in the end, he only cut a bunch of each other's hair and put it in the brocade pouch presented by the golden boy and jade girl. The "bride", Chu Wanning, kept it well.
Mo Ran really wanted to ask him, "You won't take my hair in a fit of anger and use it to stab little people, will you?"
The praising official sang, "Ceremony ā€” complete ā€”"
Both of them sighed in relief and stood up from the ground.
Who knew that in the next moment, the praising official leisurely shouted again,
"The auspicious hour has arrived, send them to the bridal chamber ā€”"
What, the, ghost!!!
Mo Ran instantly froze.
He almost spat out a mouthful of blood!
What kind of joke was this? If he dared to enter the bridal chamber with Chu Wanning, this wedding would really become a f * cking ghost marriage!
Although dying under a peony flower and becoming a ghost was also romantic, but the person he wanted in this lifetime ā€¦ no, the person he wanted in both lifetimes was the unsullied Shi Mei who came out of the mud and not this cold-blooded demon Chu Wanning who tied up all those who coveted him and threw them into the mud to be dyed red!!
Was it too late to run away now?
