However, he was well aware that he was not without feelings for Wei Yuan.
Therefore, he was grateful to Wei Yuan for his persistence and unwavering support.
I'm grateful to him... for waiting for me all these years.
"Why are you thanking me, Divine Doctor..." With that hurdle in his heart over, Chu Jiangli's mood seemed to lighten considerably. He hugged Yu Tang and rubbed against the man's neck a couple of times: "Divine Doctor is my savior. I should repay you with my body. I even regret that I said it too late, making you suffer so much injustice for nothing."
Good heavens! Why does he feel like Chu Jiangli has suddenly changed?
He used to be such a coward, only knowing how to be jealous in secret. How come he's started saying flirtatious things now that he's just confessed his feelings?
"It's not too late, it's good to talk it out."
"Hmm..." Chu Jiangli responded, paused for a moment, and then said, "But since we are mutually in love, shall we hold the wedding ceremony when we return to Liyue Palace?"
"ah?"
Chu Jiangli threw out two bombs in quick succession, leaving Yu Tang completely stunned.
He said, "Shouldn't we wait for this to happen first? Besides, isn't the Moon Palace currently under siege? We must wait until the danger is over before..."
"There is no danger left at Liyue Palace," Chu Jiangli said. "For the martial arts world today, I am the greatest danger."
Yu Tang fell silent.
He recalled that night in Sanshui Town and Chu Jiangli's decisive and efficient skills just now, and he actually felt that there was nothing wrong with what the other party said.
In Chu Jiangli's hands, even a blade of grass, a tree, or a piece of broken stone or tile could easily take a person's life.
He's a walking human bomb; everyone avoids him.
Later on, if the protagonist hadn't had such an incredible cheat ability that he found another peerless martial arts manual and joined forces with all the masters in the martial arts world to attack Mount Nanlu, he would have been in trouble.
It's not necessarily true that they can kill Chu Jiangli.
As if to verify his words, rustling sounds came from the surrounding woods.
The next moment, two dark figures stepped across the river and arrived beside Chu Jiangli.
Two young men dressed in black and gold clothing knelt down and bowed before Chu Jiangli.
"Nan Yun, the Left Protector of the Moon Palace."
"Bai Xiao, Right Protector of the Moon Palace".
"Greetings, Palace Master!"
The fleeing Blood Refining Hall cultists brought news of Chu Jiangli's return to the front lines. Upon hearing the news, the left and right protectors of Liyue Palace immediately set off for the front.
Upon seeing Chu Jiangli, his eyes seemed to ignite with flames, and the infatuated and adoring gaze made Yu Tang think he was seeing a modern-day fanatic.
But when their gazes fell on Yu Tang, who was being held in Chu Jiangli's arms, their eyes widened in disbelief.
When had they ever seen Chu general Li be so affectionate with anyone?
Since Chu Jiangli became the Palace Master of Liyue Palace, he has been extremely strict in this regard.
You can pay for prostitution, but you cannot forcibly abduct women or do anything to force them.
Especially within the Moon Palace, it must be a pure land. If he discovers any public displays of affection, the punishment will range from fifty lashes to death.
But now... look at their palace master, what is he doing?!
"Um……"
Chu Jiangli had already noticed their movements, so he wasn't surprised at this moment.
He lazily lifted his head from Yu Tang's shoulder and said, "Pass on my order: Deputy Sect Leader Feng Lu has betrayed the sect and escaped. Send people to find him, and remember to capture him alive. I don't want the traitor to die so easily."
Yu Tang knew that this Feng Lu was the one who tripped up Chu Jiangli at the Yanwang Temple in Sanshui Town. Judging from Chu Jiangli's tone, this guy was probably in big trouble.
"Yes!" Nan Yun and Bai Xiao responded immediately.
Chu Jiangli nodded and then asked, "Have all the people down the mountain evacuated?"
"They've retreated!" Nan Yun said excitedly. "When they heard the news brought by the scattered members of the Blood Refining Hall that you killed Old Ghost Wei with a single sword strike and that your martial arts had not diminished at all, they were so frightened that they forgot to pack up their tents and scattered and fled!"
Chu Jiangli hummed in agreement, grabbing Yu Tang's hand and playing with the man's fingers: "Divine Doctor, you see, I wasn't wrong. Right now, for the entire martial arts world, I am the greatest danger."
Yu Tang really didn't know how to respond to that.
All I can do is silently praise you in my heart, you're amazing!
"so……"
Before Yu Tang could speak, Chu Jiangli gave orders to the two protectors: "Nan Yun, Bai Xiao, you two immediately send people to prepare the things needed for the wedding. In a few days, I will marry the divine physician by my side."
Chapter 25
Died for the villain for the sixth time (25)
Has this relationship progressed at breakneck speed?
Everyone was stunned.
Yu Qi had just secretly told Xiao Han about the conversation between the group and Chu Jiangli before they were attacked.
So, just a moment ago, Xiao Han was marveling at how Yu Tang and Chu Jiangli were actually in love, but not long after, Chu Jiangli said something like that.
It caught him off guard.
So this is the adult world?
Have you already settled your marriage so quickly?
The most shocked were Nagumo and Baixiao.
After stammering for a while, Nan Yun finally managed to string together a sentence: "Palace Master, why are you suddenly getting married?"
This was the first time he had ever lost his composure like this; he looked at Yu Tang as if he were looking at some monster.
What is it about this man that makes him so charming?
How could they have managed to bewitch their usually unyielding palace master to this extent?
"I should repay your life-saving grace with my body," Chu Jiangli said. "The divine physician saved me, and we are in love with each other. Why can't we get married?"
That statement is actually quite accurate.
In the end, Nan Yun and Bai Xiao had no choice but to suppress their shock and doubt, accept their orders, and leave.
Yu Tang was left bewildered in the wind.
He couldn't help but ask Chu Jiangli, "Ali, isn't it too fast to get married now?"
Chu Jiangli remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Does the divine physician refuse?"
The tone was pitiful, like a large dog about to be abandoned.
It's not that I'm unwilling.
"So you're thinking about your Yuan'er?" Chu Jiangli's tone turned cold as he said, "Do you think he's more qualified to marry you than I am?"
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment, and finally understood why Chu Jiangli was in such a hurry to get married!
That jealous man!
I've already told him that he's the one I love, but he still doesn't believe me. So I'm going to use marriage to tie him down and prevent him from going back on his word!
However, Yu Tang also knew that he had dug this hole himself, and he had to fill it in quickly.
Otherwise, given Chu Jiangli's personality, he could be so jealous of himself that he'd die of anger!
He composed himself and earnestly asked Chu Jiangli, "Do you want to hear the truth?"
Chu Jiangli tightened his grip on him, and a murderous intent emanated from him, startling the system cat that was quietly approaching, causing all its fur to stand on end!
Xiao Han quickly hugged him and whispered, "Xiao Jin, don't go over there, Brother Chu is so scary!"
"I want to hear..." Chu Jiangli replied, "Go ahead and tell me..."
“Yuan’er is someone I made up.” Yu Tang started making up stories, telling Chu Jiangli one by one: “I was sickly since I was a child and rarely had the chance to play with my friends.”
So I created a playmate for myself, named Wei Yuan, whose face was blurry. I could only meet him in my dreams.
"Then after I met you, I dreamed that Wei Yuan's blurry face in my dreams turned into yours."
That's why I called you Yuan'er back then.
Yu Tang said, "Doesn't that sound a little funny?"
"But that's the truth."
“So, sometimes I think,” he patted Chu Jiangli’s arm to help him relax, “maybe we knew and loved each other in a past life. That’s why we have this destiny in this life.”
Actually, not everything Yu Tang said was a lie.
After all, if one world is considered one lifetime, they have already reincarnated six times.
After hearing Yu Tang's words, Chu Jiangli finally calmed down.
He asked Yu Tang, "Are you really not lying to me?"
The last syllables of his voice all rose slightly, revealing his hidden joy.
Yu Tang thought to himself that this kid was only in his early twenties, but he was a fearsome demon outside. After he confessed his feelings to him, he was easy to coax.
"Of course I'm not lying to you."
Chu Jiangli immediately said, "Then let's go back and get married?"
Yu Tang sighed helplessly, "Fine..."
Chu Jiangli was finally overjoyed.
With a smirk, he tossed his outer robe to the ground, pulled Yu Tang into his arms, and pinned the man down.
She whispered in his ear, "It's still a while before dawn. Divine Doctor, rest a little longer. We'll return to the Moon Palace when it's light."
Yu Tang rubbed his itchy ear, gave Chu Jiangli a nudge, and teased him on purpose: "Before, all I did was ask you to go to bed with me, and you kept dawdling and trying to distance yourself from me. Now you're clinging to me and won't let go?"
Chu Jiangli coughed, his cheeks burning: "I didn't know before that the person you loved was me, but now that I know, of course I won't let go."
He muttered, "Besides, after we get married in a few days, we'll both have official status. Isn't it only natural for a husband to hold his wife in his arms?"
Looking at him, Yu Tang felt as if she were seeing the shadow of a former villain.
