Ning Yu Zhou calmed himself down and walked into their wedding room.
 
Due to the wedding ceremony being held according to the world of mortal’s standards, the Seventh Prince’s palace was decorated with lanterns and coloured hangings. The atmosphere was joyful along with red coloured decorations. Usually, in the eyes of cultivators, the bright red colour looked tacky and vulgar.
 
However, the lady in the room, decorated with bright red decorations, looked beautiful. Her appearance weakened the vulgarness and improved the ambience of the room.
 
The servants saluted Ning Yu Zhou as they saw him come back. They left the room with a tacit understanding together with Lian Yue, who was cluelessly standing at her place.
 
Lian Yue didn’t want to leave, but the servants were cultivators. In their eyes, she was just like a bean sprout, which was easy to carry.
 
There wasn’t anyone else. Suddenly, the crowded room became spacious.
 
Wen Qiao was holding the flower pot while gazing at Ning Yu Zhou.
 
Ning Yu Zhou was looking at her too. He looked at the girl who had just taken a bath. He slightly coughed and asked,  “What’s inside the flower pot?”
 
“The seven-term spiritual seed that you gave me.” Wen Qiao replied and asked, “ I wanted to put it inside the room, do you mind?” 
 
“Of course not.” Ning Yu Zhou smiled, his sparkling watery eyes made people feel warm. “From now onwards, we are married, and we will share weal and woe. You can do anything you want without asking my permission.”
 
Wen Qiao’s calm expression looked better. She pondered and thanked him.
 
“Why do you want to thank me?” Ning Yu Zhou was clueless, he felt she treated him too politely.
 
“You’re a good person. Thank You.” Wen Qiao said seriously.
 
If he wasn’t a good person, he wouldn’t ask Emperor Cheng Hao to send an imperial decree for their marriage along with the gifts that she needed publicly while knowing well that she had a weak constitution and short lifespan. Even though people said the Seventh Prince valued her because he liked her, she felt the Seventh Prince was a person who emphasized righteousness. Due to the reason her father saved him in the past, he would protect her with no regrets.
 
Actually, it wasn’t necessary to carry out the wedding, who would know about the matter if the Ning family doesn’t mention it? Even if the Wen family knew, they wouldn’t offend the Ning family for a sick and short-lived child.
 
Marrying the Seventh Prince brought her many benefits, but she would become a burden to the Seventh Prince.
 
“A good person?” Ning Yu Zhou smiled again, but his gentle smile looked unpredictable.
 
While she still didn’t understand his smile, Ning Yu Zhou said softly, “Today has been a busy day, are you tired? You could have some rest.”
 
Wen Qiao: “En.” 
 
She thought about something and couldn’t help but look at him.
 
A person with a crafty thought couldn’t hide themselves from being stared at by a pair of limpid eyes. Ning Yu Zhou’s handsome face blushed. He slightly coughed again and went to the bathroom beside the room to take a bath.
 
While the Seventh Prince wasn’t in the room, Wen Qiao sat cross-legged on the arhat bed, put the flower pot beside her and started cultivating.
 
Wen Qiao was sending spiritual energy to the spiritual seed planted in the flower pot as usual. She thought the spiritual seed would be the same as the past month. Yet, after she started a while, she could feel a strange emotion. There was cluelessness, happiness and curiosity in the world.
 
Wen Qiao’s finger was stiff. She didn’t stop and continued to increase the pace of sending the spiritual energy.
 
Until the spiritual energy in her body was fully depleted, her complexion became even paler. Her forehead was full of sweat, she was suffering from the pain from her spiritual vessels and the uncomfortable feeling from her whole body. However, her uncomfortable feeling was soon replaced by the happiness that arose in her heart.
 
Wen Qiao looked at the flower pot joyfully.
 
There was a little green sprout on the dark brown coloured soil. People would ignore it if they didn’t look carefully.
 
Finally, the seven-term spiritual seed sprouted.
 
At the moment it sprouted, the information of the seven-term seed returned to her as feedback letting her know its breed. Unexpectedly, this was the seed of the Beauty Retaining Flower, which became extinct in the world of cultivators a long time ago.
 
The Beauty Retaining Flower could be used to make Beauty Retaining Elixir and also could be eaten directly. It was a kind of spiritual plant that every female cultivator would go insane for.
 
Even if the current Sheng Wu Continent had the Beauty Retaining Elixir, it was only made after the Beauty Retaining Flower went extinct by alchemists who had performed numerous experiments by replacing ingredients. The result was mediocre, some people even developed flaws after eating the elixir, it was inferior to the Beauty Retaining Elixir made by the Beauty Retaining Flower.
 
Even though Wen Qiao thought beauty retaining might be unnecessary to her, the vital essence of wood from the seven-term Beauty Retaining Flower still made her feel happy.
 
After playing with the little green sprout, Wen Qiao immediately refrained her mind and started meditating to recover her spiritual energy.
 
Time lapsed while she was meditating.
 
While the spiritual vessels in Wen Qiao’s body were filled with spiritual energy, the night was pressing up against the windows.
 
Wen Qiao opened her eyes and saw a man wearing a white robe embroidered with dark golden patterns was sitting near her. His black long hair made him look even more handsome.
 
He was sitting there quietly and gazing at her without blinking his eyes. While he saw her open her eyes, he gave her a gentle smile.
 
Even though Wen Qiao was usually calm, she was stunned.
 
Although she didn’t have a high rank of cultivation and much experience, she was shocked that she didn’t realise a stranger was sitting beside her and gazing at her. She doesn’t consider that and thought this was due to her diverting her full concentration while cultivating.
 
She was a lady with a young age who just passed her coming of age, her face was chubby. She looked little and dainty while she was wearing her pyjamas sitting on the arhat bed. He felt tender and protective towards her.
 
Ning Yu Zhou felt soft. While he saw her looking at him without saying anything, he said with a smile, “It’s already 1 a.m., do you want to sleep?”
 
Wen Qiao nodded and got up slowly from the arhat bed.
 
Ning Yu Zhou got up and went forward to help her ease up.
 
Wen Qiao’s finger slightly trembled, she took a glance at him and saw his gentle eyes. She couldn’t refuse him and asked, “Why aren’t you sleeping?”
 
“I saw you’re meditating here, so I want to have a look.”
 
Wen Qiao was stunned and couldn’t help but to look at him again.
 
The Seventh Prince originally had an excellent cultivation root. If he could cultivate, he wouldn’t be inferior to the Third Prince Ning Zhe Zhou. Unfortunately, when he was born, he was poisoned and his cultivation root was destroyed. Hence, his road of cultivation was ruined and caused him to only live as a mortal.
 
In other kingdoms, it was normal to live as a mortal. But he was born in the Tanglin Kingdom, people around him were cultivators. Would he felt unreconciled to be the only one who was unable to cultivate?
 
Would he feel sad while looking at other cultivators cultivating to achieve a higher realm?
 
Wen Qiao couldn’t observe his thoughts by looking at his refined and handsome face. If thinking about it from the perspective of the psychology of a common person, she felt that he would be sad.
 
“I’m not sad.” Ning Yu Zhou said.
 
Wen Qiao looked at him surprisingly.
 
Ning Yu Zhou helped her to sit at the bed and said with a smile, “Your thoughts can be seen easily, it’s all written on your face.”
 
Wen Qiao wanted to touch her face, nobody had told her about it before.
 
Ning Yu Zhou put the pot of spiritual plant near the window and continued saying, “I’m not sad, you can cultivate whenever you want, I won’t stop you. You can tell me if you need any cultivation resources. Although we were married, I won’t stop you from cultivating.”
 
Wen Qiao once again looked at him surprisingly.
 
Ning Yu Zhou smiled and said, “Can I call you Ah Zhuo?”
 
“Ah, you can.” She replied slowly-witted.
 
“Ah Zhuo, it’s time to sleep now.” Ning Yu Zhou looked gentle as before, “This is our first night staying together, we can’t simply deal with it. Your health can’t endure it either.”
 
Wen Qiao’s pale face blushed. Suddenly, she felt nervous after she looked at the bed covered with bright red bed sheets embroidered with a phoenix.
 
She felt nervous while she was laying on the bed and looking at Ning Yu Zhou who laid beside her after he put down the bed curtain.
 
This was her first time sleeping with another person. It seemed that she could feel his breath. Her arms and legs felt stiff as she had no idea where to put them.
 
“Let’s sleep.” Ning Yu Zhou said.
 
Wen Qiao replied to him with a small voice and closed her eyes.
 
The room was filled with a light scent from an unknown perfume, it wasn’t aversive. Wen Qiao thought she would fail to fall asleep because she might mind sleeping with a stranger. But she slowly fell asleep while she was smelling at the light scent of the spiritual perfume.
 
Before she fell asleep, she thought the Seventh Prince was a good person in her heart. She planned to ask about the type of perfume lighted in the room the next day.
 
While she was in a deep sleep, Ning Yu Zhou looked at the young lady who was sleeping in a curled position beside him.
 
He looked at her young and beautiful face then smiled silently.
 
She was just a child, it was still too early.
