Chapter 162
Hua Wuhuang swallowed, then said, “I want to see the full story from beginning to end.”
The fortune-teller smiled. “That’ll cost extra.”
“How much?” Hua Wuhuang asked.
“One thousand taels,” the fortune-teller said.
Without the slightest hesitation, Hua Wuhuang took out a Silver Banknote for one thousand taels.
Only then did the fortune-teller reach into the cabinet, pull out a censer of incense, and light it.
“This incense is called Past Life Heart. If you smell it and close your eyes to meditate, you can look back on all the karmic ties and romantic entanglements of your past lives.” After saying that, he still couldn’t help adding, “But take it easy. There are some things I can’t even stand after looking at them too much, tsk tsk.”
Hua Wuhuang closed his eyes, utterly speechless.
The incense curled upward in wisps, and everything from the past began to replay before his eyes.
Hua Wuhuang saw how he had been struck down into the mortal world by the heavenly tribulation, how he had met Lu Yin in his previous life, and how, before Lu Yin died, it had finally agreed to marry him in the next life.
When the censer of incense burned out, Hua Wuhuang cried.
Not because he was moved, but because he couldn’t believe how stupid he’d been in his last life, stupid enough to be fooled by Lu Yin all along and nearly let himself be taken advantage of completely…
Right now, all he wanted was to pin Lu Yin to the ground and grind him into the dirt. Lu Yin was truly detestable, making him owe such a huge debt of gratitude, and even making a wish of him on his deathbed!
That lunatic had really had something wrong with his head in every life!
Lu Yin was still just as crazy this life, but Hua Wuhuang was no longer stupid.
He thought it through calmly. The world had its own rules, and gods could not kill people in the mortal world at will. It did not matter whether the target was good or evil. In his last life, because of Lu Yin’s death, he had committed bloodshed. Added to that, he had to fulfill Lu Yin’s wish, which was why he had come to the Glazed Continent to be reborn and undergo tribulation.
If he wanted to succeed in his tribulation, he had to satisfy Lu Yin’s wish and go through a wedding ceremony with him.
As for Lu Yin, perhaps because he had died too wrongfully in his last life and had also come to appreciate how important cultivation was, he had worked hard this life and become an elder of the Tianwen Sect, a genius in swordsmanship…
In terms of cultivation, even this current self of his would not be a match for Lu Yin.
After weighing it for a long time, Hua Wuhuang finally made his decision: endure it and marry him!
After all, if he failed the tribulation, he could still return to the Heavenly Realm, but his cultivation would be greatly diminished…
Just then, a familiar laugh came from outside the door.
“Wuhuang, I heard you came here to have your fortune told. Are you here to ask about the best day to marry me?”
Lu Yin walked in laughing loudly.
Hua Wuhuang glared at him, his eyes practically shooting flames.
“Lu Goudan!!!”
“???”
Lu Yin frowned. “What did you call me?” Lu Goudan?
Hua Wuhuang sneered. “That’s right, Lu Goudan! From now on, I’ll call you Lu Goudan. That name rolls off the tongue so nicely!”
Lu Yin was speechless for quite a while before he laughed. “Fine, Lu Goudan it is. As long as you’re willing to marry me, I don’t care if you call me Dog Egg, Duck Egg, or Goose Egg. Call me whatever you want!”
Hua Wuhuang: “…”
Hua Wuhuang said word by word, “Lu Goudan, listen carefully. I’m willing to marry you, and the sooner the better!”
“!!!”
Lu Yin couldn’t help but throw his head back and laugh in satisfaction.
See? Happiness really did come this suddenly!
A month later, Hua Wuhuang returned with Lu Yin to Cangwu Fief and joyfully completed the wedding rites.
In his heart, he silently said, Lu Goudan, what I promised you, I’ve already kept…
Night fell.
All the formalities had been completed, and only the final step remained: the conjugal rites.
Only then did Hua Wuhuang tell Lu Yin, “Lu Goudan, let me tell you a secret. Actually, I’m a man.”
“What? A man?” Lu Yin looked utterly shocked.
“Yes,” Hua Wuhuang said, lifting an eyebrow. “Because my father wanted a daughter, and then I was granted the title of Princess, I have been dressing as a woman while actually being a man… Didn’t see that coming, did you?”
Lu Yin said, “I really didn’t.”
Hua Wuhuang snorted with a laugh.
Lu Goudan had always wanted to marry a woman. He had even once entertained the ridiculous idea that he might turn into a woman himself. Now that Hua Wuhuang had fulfilled his promise, that guy was going to end up empty-handed…
Hua Wuhuang said, “I’ve already written the divorce letter. If this gets out, you won’t exactly look good either, so let’s just part on good terms.”
Lu Yin said, “Wait, I have a secret to tell you too…”
Suddenly, Lu Yin pushed him down onto the wedding bed. Leaning close to his ear, he laughed, “Actually, I like men!”
Hua Wuhuang: “…?”
Hua Wuhuang didn’t believe it. “Since when?”
“Since you said you were a man.”
Lu Yin laughed wantonly. “Wuhuang, I like you. Even if you’re a man, I still like you. I want to do happy things with you so badly!”
Hua Wuhuang: “…”
Two lifetimes, and he was still this same shameless bastard, changing his preferences on a whim with no bottom line whatsoever!
And in this life, he was no longer the penniless Lu Goudan. He had inherited the title of marquis, and now he had wealth and cultivation too. He would only become even more lawless!
In a daze, Hua Wuhuang recalled how, once in that thatched hut, he had smiled at the young man and said, I’m willing to do happy things with Ah Lu…
Hua Wuhuang could not help but fly into embarrassed fury. “Get lost! I don’t want to do anything with you!”
“You will,” Lu Yin said, starting to kiss him fervently, his voice hoarse. “I’ll make you want to.”
Hua Wuhuang: “…”
He realized that under the man’s kisses and caresses, he was actually shamefully aroused!
His body and mind were both aroused…
Lu Yin noticed it too, and his smile grew even more triumphant. “Wuhuang, admit it. You like me… You clearly like me, so why won’t you admit it?”
His hand slipped beneath the quilt and pulled out the scented ointment he had prepared long ago.
He had once been a normal man too, interested only in swordsmanship and nothing at all in romance.
Then, three years ago, while in the military camp, he had accidentally seen Hua Wuhuang changing clothes, and from that moment on, something in him had gone wrong…
He discovered that he actually liked a man?
And he wanted, no matter what, to marry him home and be with him!
Now, that wish had finally come true…
Lu Yin laughed like an idiot, and at the same time secretly put the ointment back away.
He had originally thought that with this thing, his lover wouldn’t hurt.
But seeing Hua Wuhuang so shy like this, he decided to take it slow instead, letting him accept him step by step and feel the happiness of being with him!
And so he held the person he loved, kissing downward with fervor and devotion…
In Cangwu, far from the emperor’s reach.
For many years after, the story of the marquis and his wife living in perfect harmony spread among the common people.
That wife had a very unusual temperament. He liked wearing men’s clothes, looked even better in them than in women’s clothes, and would often chase the marquis around beating him.
As for the marquis, he indulged all of his nonsense. When the two of them were together, they didn’t look like husband and wife at all, but more like brothers.
In addition, the marquis successfully acquired another title: Lu Goudan.
His wife always called him Lu Goudan, and he never minded.
So the people of Cangwu gradually abandoned the marquis’s original name.
When outsiders asked for the name of the local lord, they would answer, “Our marquis has such a nice name. He’s called Lu Goudan!”
