Red candles burned brightly, illuminating the room.
As the bridal chamber for a Great Qin prince, it certainly wouldn't be as simple as lighting a pair of dragon and phoenix candles, as in later generations.
Within the entire sleeping quarters, there were dozens of lamps alone, lighting up the entire room.
Dong Jun, in a long red dress, had only a light veil covering half of her fair face, hanging down from her hair ornament.
But this half-concealment seemed to make Dong Jun appear even more ethereal and otherworldly.
"Husband, why do you hesitate?" Seeing Ying An merely standing at the door, observing her but not approaching, Dong Jun asked curiously.
"My lady is as radiant as a peach blossom, captivating the nation, and I was momentarily lost in her beauty!" Ying An laughed heartily and strode towards Dong Jun.
"Today, you and I become husband and wife," Ying An said with a smile after cutting a strand of each other's hair, completing the hair-binding ritual.
"I hope to live in harmony with my lady from now on!"
Dong Jun smiled gently and said softly, "I wish to be forever united with my husband!"
Having completed the elaborate rituals before the bridal chamber, Ying An finally ushered in the moment he had longed for.
...
The moonlight was hazy!
On the rooftop of Ying An's palace, a big loli, dressed in a red dress, with an abnormal red glow and faint patterns appearing on her hands, was sprawled on the glazed tiles, her face flushed.
Although she had been quite scared by Ying An just now, Da Si Ming dared not neglect her mission.
She was afraid that on the wedding night, Ying An would actually die in Dong Jun's arms, causing a scandal that would shock the Seven Kingdoms.
After fleeing for a short while, she had quietly sneaked back.
Only this time, Da Si Ming no longer dared to openly guard outside the palace door; she could only hide on the rooftop like a thief, constantly monitoring every movement inside the room.
Just as Da Si Ming's face was flushed from listening, and her bright, intelligent eyes were almost dripping with water, an unusual aura instantly startled her awake from inside the room.
Even while hiding on the rooftop, merely sensing this aura, Da Si Ming felt as if she had vaguely perceived the special Dao rhyme of Yin-Yang harmony within it.
The moment she awoke, Da Si Ming finally understood why Eastern Emperor Taiyi and Moon God had arranged for her to guard outside the bridal chamber, and why even Dong Jun had not objected.
It turned out that everyone had underestimated Young Master Ying An.
Having been sick in bed for sixteen years, he could actually cause such a commotion on his wedding night.
Clearly, Young Master Ying An had been hiding his true abilities all along!
She instinctively stood up, but because she had been too engrossed in eavesdropping, she stumbled instantly as she rose.
When Da Si Ming regained her balance and prepared to jump off the eaves, she discovered in horror that before her, a being radiating a hazy moonlight, like a divine statue carved from wood, stone, or clay in an ancestral temple or shrine, had appeared at some unknown time.
The moment Da Si Ming saw this figure, she instantly felt an unprecedented fear. A chilling aura swept over her.
Just as Da Si Ming was about to counter-attack with her Skeleton Blood Handprint, the figure suddenly transformed into mercury-like moonlight and vanished without a trace in a flash of lightning.
"Just now... what was that?" Da Si Ming blinked, a sudden fear rising in her heart. This kind of existence, beyond the scope of her understanding, truly made Da Si Ming uneasy.
With a thick layer of gloom in her heart, Da Si Ming rushed straight towards the main headquarters of the Yinyang Family.
However, Da Si Ming did not know that the moonlit, statue-like existence just now was none other than the Precious Moonlight King Body from the Past Amitabha Sutra's Divine Soul secret technique!
This was a Divine Soul cultivation that, upon reaching the Manifestation realm, allowed one to condense the Qi of heaven and earth—like smoke, mist, or moonlight—to manifest a true form using external objects.
Ying An hadn't expected that a single dual cultivation session with Dong Jun would lead to such a forced integration of his cultivation.
Ever since he obtained the Hong Yi template, Ying An had been continuously increasing his integration, thereby gaining various inheritances from Hong Yi. But this time, due to dual cultivation with Dong Jun, he was stimulated by her pure Yang Dragon Wandering Energy, and his Divine Soul cultivation instantly advanced by leaps and bounds. He directly bypassed the Night Roaming, Day Roaming, and Object Manipulation realms, reaching the Manifestation stage.
The sudden surge in his Divine Soul cultivation even led to a significant increase in his integration, causing Ying An to uncontrollably manifest the Precious Moonlight King Body.
The result was that Da Si Ming was startled.
In fact, while the Yang God World's mainstream cultivation methods are primarily Qi and Blood Human Immortal Martial Arts and Divine Soul Immortal Path, it doesn't mean there are no Qi refining methods. It's just that the difficulty of entering Qi refining in the Yang God World is almost unimaginable, far beyond what the Martial Arts True Qi of the Qin Shi World can achieve.
Precisely because the Qi refining methods in the Yang God World are too high-end, almost all entry-level cultivation involves primal sin True Qi, Central Wuji Void Great True Qi, carefree True Qi, moral True Qi, and so on. They hardly touch upon low-level domains.
This resulted in cultivators in the Yang God World never bothering to study low-level Martial Arts True Qi, as Martial Arts True Qi consumes Qi and blood.
It would needlessly slow down the cultivation speed of Qi and Blood Human Immortal Martial Arts. Moreover, cultivating such unpresentable True Qi is not as beneficial as directly using it to nourish the Divine Soul.
Due to the differences in worlds and environments, Ying An and Dong Jun's first night together involved mutual probing. Although it couldn't compare to true dual cultivation between two perfectly aligned hearts, this act caused Dong Jun's fervent pure Yang Dragon Wandering Energy to uncontrollably nourish Ying An's Divine Soul, leading to the current situation.
The moment she consummated the marriage with Ying An, Dong Jun felt her Dragon Wandering Energy, after entering Ying An's body, instantly begin to rapidly diminish.
By the time Dong Jun stopped her probing with Dragon Wandering Energy, nearly 30% of the Dragon Wandering Energy she had painstakingly cultivated was gone.
This was the massive Dragon Wandering Energy that allowed Dong Jun to transform into a truly substantial Three-legged Golden Crow!
With 30% gone, Dong Jun might not even be able to continue shaping the Three-legged Golden Crow with her Dragon Wandering Energy now.
Before Dong Jun could question him, Ying An, whose Divine Soul cultivation had rapidly surged in a short time, also saw his physical cultivation instantly improve.
How powerful was the physical body of a Viscera Refining Innate Martial Master, equivalent to the Divine Soul Manifestation realm? Such a person could fight a hundred, even achieve spiritual-physical unity, sense killing intent, and perceive and slay Divine Soul thoughts.
The abundance of his physical strength and the formidable nature of his Qi and blood almost instantly overwhelmed Dong Jun, leaving her no mind to question how Ying An had taken her Dragon Wandering Energy!
The commotion in the bridal chamber continued until nearly dawn before finally ceasing.
Both the exhausted Dong Jun and the transformed Ying An had fallen into a deep sleep.
