The prince is very fierce

It was already noon when we returned to the inn.

Nightingale contacted the government to recruit people to dig the stone wall. It was estimated that they had reached the deep underground. If Ning Qingye went down to search, it would take some time to come back.

Although only one day had passed, for Xu Buling and Zhongli Jiujiu, it was no different from licking blood on the edge of a knife for several years. Returning to a slightly safer place, they relaxed their tense hearts and no longer had the strength.

The doors and windows of the room in the inn were closed, and the jade seal was placed in a box with the packed clothes and sheets.

Xu Buling was wrapped in a thick quilt, his wet hair was hanging down, and he took a long-untouched wine gourd and drank strong liquor.

The small table was full of food, roast chicken, lamb legs, etc., all of which were bought by Zhongli Jiujiu just now. The food in the small border town was not delicious, but at this time, there was no such thing as "eating fine food and eating delicate food".

Zhongli Jiujiu changed into a new dress and sat opposite Xu Buling. She had been emotionally fluctuating for a short period of time and had not yet recovered. However, she ate very politely. She cut the mutton with a dagger, put it in the two bowls, and ate slowly.

The room was very quiet, and only a little noise from the street outside could be heard.

Zhongli Jiujiu chewed slowly, occasionally looking up, and saw Xu Buling eating heartily without saying a word. I don’t know if she felt the atmosphere was awkward, so she made small talk:

“I will never go underground in this life... It’s better to die on the street than to die of suffocation underground.”

Xu Buling’s physical strength was replenished, and his complexion had returned to normal at this time. He smiled and said:

“Yes, I didn’t expect there was such a large underground palace under Bodhi Island. I’m sorry to scare you this time.”

“…”

My wife…

You are talking about something else.

Zhongli Jiujiu put down her chopsticks, her expression slightly tangled, her eyebrows slightly frowned, and she spoke without much momentum:

"Sister, I said I was joking... You also know the situation. When people are very nervous, they will do things that they would not do normally. You... You are taking advantage of others' misfortune..."

Taking advantage of others' misfortune?

Xu Buling narrowed his eyes slightly: "Do you think worshipping heaven and earth is a child's play? Well, just pretend it never happened." As he said that, he took out the jade pendant of love from his arms, opened the window and prepared to throw it out.

"Wait!"

Zhongli Jiujiu's body stiffened, and she stood up quickly, grabbing Xu Buling's arm with some annoyance:

"Why are you like this? After all... after all, it's a souvenir left behind from the hardships together..."

Xu Buling's eyes were slightly cold. After eating and drinking enough and warming up, it was time to think about business.

Realizing that Xu Buling's eyes were very sharp, Zhongli Jiujiu was a little afraid to look directly at him. She wanted to take back her hand, but was held back by Xu Buling.

Xu Buling stood up, pulled Zhongli Jiujiu in front of him with a little force, and said condescendingly:

"We are all adults, you have to be responsible for what you say and do. Go over and lie down!"

"Lie down?"

"Lie down is fine."

"..."

Zhongli Jiujiu shrank her hands, glanced at the embroidery bed that Xu Buling pointed at, and suddenly became nervous and anxious, shaking her head vigorously:

"I won't! Xu Buling, don't be too presumptuous, sister I... I'll poison you..."

As she said this, she wanted to touch the dragon-locking Gu placed between the two balls.

"Let me help you."

Xu Buling was tough, his left hand was around Zhongli Jiujiu's waist, and his right hand was touching Zhongli Jiujiu's collar.

"Ah—you..."

Zhongli Jiujiu's face flushed, and she grabbed Xu Buling's hand, almost crying:

"Don't mess around... Qingye is coming back, and we have to escape, there is no time..."

Xu Buling held Tuan'er and frowned, saying: "Okay, let's consummate the marriage after leaving Leting County, do you have any objection to this?"

"I..."

Zhongli Jiujiu was confused and didn't dare to look into Xu Buling's eyes, and her voice was very low:

"Okay... okay..."

Xu Buling pinched it slightly: "Say 'husband, I know I was wrong'."

? !

Zhongli Jiujiu was taken advantage of and bullied, and she was not convinced anymore. She twisted her shoulders gently: "What did I do wrong? Let me go, stop rubbing..."

"Say it or not?"

"Woo~, you naughty boy...Okay, okay, husband, I know I was wrong, okay?"

Xu Buling then let go of his hand and nodded with satisfaction: "Little Jiu is good."

"What little Jiu, Jiujiu is Jiujiu..."

Zhongli Jiujiu straightened her clothes, curled her hands on her chest, and had a mixed expression. She gave herself away for no reason, and she still felt a little dreamy. I was happy, but I couldn't tell. I regretted it... I didn't regret it, but it was weird anyway...

Xu Buling raised his hand to straighten the gold hairpin on Zhongli Jiujiu's head, then turned around to take out paper and pen, and began to write.

The tip of the pen slid across the paper, and the room was extremely quiet.

Zhongli Jiujiu stood in the corner, hesitating for a moment, and found Xu Buling writing under the blanket. Out of curiosity, he walked up to him:

"What are you writing?"

"Call me husband, how many times do I have to say it?"

"..., husband, what are you writing?"

"Read it yourself."

?

Zhongli Jiujiu pursed her lips and said a few words silently. Judging from her mouth shape, it should be "What's your attitude..." She leaned forward and looked at it carefully, but saw the following written on the paper:

"Two surnames are united in marriage, a contract is signed in one hall, a good marriage is forever, and a match is the same name..."

"Marriage certificate?"

Zhongli Jiujiu's fox-like eyes showed a bit of shame and annoyance:

"Are you serious? Let's think about it carefully..."

"We've already worshipped the heaven and earth, and you forced me to do it, what else are you considering?"

Xu Buling's voice was flat. He finished writing the marriage certificate carefully, took out the ink pad, pressed his finger on it, and grabbed Zhongli Jiujiu's arm and pressed it into the ink pad:

"Be good, sign the contract of selling your body."

"Bah - what contract of selling your body..."

Zhongli Jiujiu wanted to die, and was completely passive. She didn't even have a reason to refute. Her wrist was held and she couldn't break free. She didn't dare to let the bug bite her. After pulling and tugging for a few times, her thumb was still pressed on the ink pad, and then pressed on the paper.

"Wait, wait..."

Zhongli Jiujiu closed her eyes, and her delicate face was full of tension:

"Let me think about it again... just for a moment..."

"Three, two, one!"

Puff -

The fingers pressed on the paper, and the two bright red guidelines came together.

Zhongli Jiujiu's body froze instantly. This time it was written in black and white. Even if you take it to the Nanyue government, you have to recognize it... No, there is no notary...

Zhongli Jiujiu wanted to say a few more words, but then he saw Xu Buling took out the imperial seal, smeared it with ink, and then held the seal in his hand and solemnly stamped it on the marriage certificate. A solemn and awe-inspiring seal appeared:

Mandated by Heaven, Long Live and Prosper

I think nothing in the world is more credible than this seal.

Seeing that she had become Xu Buling's woman, Zhongli Jiujiu felt guilty and thought:

"Xu... Xiang... Hey~, I... I have to go back. Marrying without telling you means I will have no offspring. Even if I don't go back to the village, I have to discuss it with Chuchu. Isn't it a bit too hasty for such a big thing?"

Xu Buling put away the marriage certificate, put it in his arms and patted it:

"My wife, please do as you please. Anyway, even if you tell the King of Hell, you are my legitimate wife. You can figure out how to explain it to others."

Zhongli Jiujiu wanted to lose her temper, but she didn't dare to. At this point, she hesitated and said resignedly:

"Be nice to me, and I will agree to you."

"How do you mean nice?"

"Like... when you were close to me, I was on top and you were on the bottom. You came to pursue me, but you can't be so condescending and treat me like a concubine. I don't like it..."

Xu Buling looked satisfied , walked up to him, and nodded seriously:

"Okay, you'll be on top from now on."

"Can I be mean to you? Don't spank me..."

"Okay."

After getting permission, Zhongli Jiujiu finally became a little tougher. Her clothes rose and fell several times, revealing her usual appearance. She hugged her arms and snorted:

"Xu Buling, why are you so heartless? You're always asking for more. I've used all my dragon-locking poison on you, and I've even given you to serve the girls at home. Don't you feel bad for treating me like this?"

Xu Buling laughed, supported Zhongli Jiujiu's shoulders, and sat down at the table:

"It's so uncomfortable. Let's eat. We have to go on the road later."

Zhongli Jiujiu sat opposite, fidgeting. Seeing Xu Buling's nonchalant look, the more she thought about it, the more she felt at a disadvantage, but she had nothing to say. After a while, she frowned and said:

"Hey! Tell me again about the elopement of Ling Caichen and Fahai. I didn't hear it clearly last night."
