43: Chapter 43 The Wedding Night, the Union of Yin and Yang

In the midst of the guests' well-wishes, Lin Yun held Wu Qingya's hand, walking slowly toward the bridal chamber.

This time, Lin Yun felt somewhat different than before.

Shen Youqing was gentle and sensible, while Wu Qingya was cold and stubborn; each had her own unique beauty.

To be able to marry such women, he was truly lucky.

At the wedding banquet, Wu De was surrounded by a group of guests, his face glowing with excitement.

Wang Shouyi and Feng Zhenbang had also arrived, and the two walked over to Wu De with wine glasses in hand.

"Old Wu, congratulations!" Wang Shouyi said with a laugh. "You've really climbed the high branch of the Lin family this time."

Feng Zhenbang also winked and nudged him: "That's right, Old Wu, don't forget about us! We each contributed a first-grade blood essence pill to help with the dowry!"

Wu De nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry. If there's any news, I will definitely notify you both."

This time, the betrothal gift from the Lin family for Wu Qingya was as high as one hundred million.

Although Wu De's legal wife acknowledged this illegitimate daughter, she wouldn't even consider providing an equal dowry, approving only forty million.

Wu De scraped together some himself, and Wang Shouyi and Feng Zhenbang also provided some "friendly sponsorship."

Each of them contributed a first-grade blood essence pill (with a total value of forty million), which was finally enough to make up the one hundred million, allowing him to marry his daughter off in grand style.

"But having said that," Wang Shouyi lowered his voice.

"Old Wu, after your daughter marries over, you must make sure she inquires about things."

"We are all waiting to know what kind of secret that Lin family kid has!"

"That's right," Feng Zhenbang also leaned in.

"If there really is some kind of Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique, you cannot keep it to yourself!"

Wu De patted his chest in assurance:

"Rest assured! My daughter is so smart, she will definitely be able to find out."

"When there are benefits, I will definitely not forget you two brothers!"

The three men looked at each other and smiled, each harboring their own thoughts.

In the bridal chamber, red candles flickered.

Lin Yun gently lifted Wu Qingya's red bridal veil, revealing her blushing face.

In the candlelight, she was breathtakingly beautiful; that aura of coldness mingled with shyness made it impossible for one to look away.

"Qingya, you are truly beautiful today," Lin Yun said softly.

Wu Qingya raised her head, glanced at him, and then quickly lowered her head: "Husband..."

Her voice was very small, but very clear.

Lin Yun smiled, sat down beside her, and took her hand:

"Qingya, thank you for being willing to marry me. I promise that I will treat you well, treat everyone equally, and never let you suffer the slightest grievance."

Wu Qingya nodded and said in a low voice:

"I believe in Husband. Sister Su and Sister Shen both told me that Husband treats them very well... I believe Husband will treat me well too."

"Of course," Lin Yun said earnestly.

"From today on, you are my wife, the person I must protect."

A warm current surged through Wu Qingya's heart.

Looking into Lin Yun's sincere eyes, she suddenly felt... marrying over might truly have been the right choice.

"Husband..." she said softly, "I... I am a little nervous..."

Lin Yun smiled understandingly: "Don't be nervous. We will take it slow, no need to rush."

He poured two cups of nuptial wine and handed one to her: "Come, let's drink the nuptial wine first."

Their arms intertwined as they brought the cups to their lips.

Wu Qingya looked at Lin Yun, who was close at hand, her heart beating wildly.

As the wine went down her throat, the spiciness carried a hint of sweetness, just like her current mood.

Both nervous and fearful, yet also secretly expectant.

After putting down the wine cups, Lin Yun gently pulled her into his arms.

His embrace was warm and strong, carrying a reassuring scent.

Wu Qingya's stiff body gradually relaxed, and she closed her eyes.

The red canopy fell, obscuring the candlelight and their figures.

[Ding! Marriage successful, rewards issued.]

[Reward 1: Martial Arts Talent increased to Yellow Grade High Grade (Experience value increased by 5%).]

[Reward 2: first-grade blood essence pill × 10.]

[Reward 3: Fertility Holy Body activation progress increased by 1% (Currently 3%).]

[Ding! Number of wives reached three, triggering extra reward.]

[Reward: Fertility Holy Body accompanying Cultivation Technique "Yin-Yang Harmony Technique" (Yellow Grade High Grade).]

["Yin-Yang Harmony Technique" is a direct-transmission Cultivation Technique, already automatically learned.]

["Yin-Yang Harmony Technique" is a Dual Cultivation Cultivation Technique; it runs automatically when husband and wife are intimate, and can also be actively paused or closed.]

["Yin-Yang Harmony Technique" can improve the cultivation of both parties when running.]

["Yin-Yang Harmony Technique" allows the party with lower Martial Arts Talent to slowly approach the one with higher talent when running.]

...

The System's notification sound rang in Lin Yun's mind, but he had no intention of paying attention to it.

The bride in his arms was so beautiful and moving.

Inside the red canopy, the spring atmosphere grew intense once again.

Meanwhile, in another room, a "live broadcast" was taking place.

As soon as the wedding banquet ended, Su Yingxue pulled Shen Youqing back to their room.

As soon as they entered, she mysteriously locked the door and took out that familiar tablet from a hidden compartment.

"Yingxue, you are again..." Seeing the tablet in her hand, Shen Youqing immediately understood.

"Of course!" Su Yingxue said righteously, "How could I miss such an important moment?"

She skillfully entered the password, and the screen lit up—it was the real-time scene inside the bridal chamber!

"Yingxue, you... how could you even have... in Qingya's room?" Shen Youqing was stunned.

Aren't we supposed to be watching the ones of us and Husband? How could it be this one?

She knew that Su Yingxue had installed cameras in her own and her room, but she didn't expect that even Wu Qingya's bridal chamber hadn't been spared!

Su Yingxue didn't care what she was thinking; she pulled her onto the bed and zoomed in on the image directly.

The expressions on the newlyweds' faces could be seen clearly.

Wu Qingya's shyness and nervousness, Lin Yun's gentleness and patience, were all laid bare.

From lifting the red veil to drinking the nuptial wine, and then to entering the bridal chamber... the two watched it all.

Shen Youqing's face turned bright red; she was too shy to look, yet couldn't help but want to watch.

She covered her face with her hands, but her fingers secretly opened a crack, her eyes peeking at the screen through the gap.

Su Yingxue was excited from beginning to end, like a child watching an exciting movie.

"I didn't expect Qingya to be so shy," Su Yingxue commented, "Even shyer than you, Youqing!"

"Yingxue!" Shen Youqing pushed her in embarrassment.

Suddenly, Shen Youqing realized: "Yingxue, you... you have mine as well..."

"Of course!" Su Yingxue held her head high triumphantly.

"Such a beautiful moment must be recorded!"

"Not only does this need to be recorded, I have also completely preserved your blood-stained bed sheet, Youqing."

"Tomorrow, after I get Qingya's, I will let you see it!"

Shen Youqing was already dumbfounded.

In her mind, the scene of her own wedding night involuntarily floated up.

The shy and nervous self, the gentle and patient husband, and... and that bed sheet used as "evidence"...

The more she thought about it, the redder her face became; it was practically burning up.

"Yingxue, you, you..."

Shen Youqing stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Don't worry, there will be one for every sister in the future!"

Su Yingxue patted her chest in assurance.

"This is our Lin family's 'heirloom'!"

Shen Youqing was speechless.

Her gaze was drawn back to the image on the tablet.
