"Wait a minute …" Mei Xue's voice sounded a little hoarse under the concealment of the illusion. Her emotions could not be heard at all.
"Isn't this marriage a disguise?"
Hearing Mei Xue's emotionless voice, Su Daji's delicate body trembled slightly. Then, she revealed an incomparably complex expression.
It was a gaze of loneliness, sighing, and confusion, like a young girl whose dream had been shattered.
Yes, a disguise. That was all there was to it.
No matter how seriously she treated this wedding, or how resolutely she swore the solemn vows, to the iceberg in front of her, it was all just a silent drama.
To her, this should have been the most important day of her life.
But to him, this was probably just an insignificant wave in his long life of cultivation.
So there really was such a cold and heartless person in the world. Even in front of the rare white fox beauty, she was not moved at all.
His heart had long lost all warmth, entering the legendary state of forgetfulness.
Her unwavering love for her entire life was ultimately unable to change his heart. She could not even move it.
This was Zheng Xuan, the reclusive Black Fox Elder of the overseas Fox Demon clan, an expert who had embarked on the path of forgetfulness, and her husband.
It was impossible for her to let him change the Great Dao he cultivated. Black Fox Elders who could survive the death calamity for ten thousand years were all powerful beings at the peak of Divine Will. How could they change the Great Dao they cultivated just because of a moment's desire?
Moreover, he was not moved at all.
He was like the cold moon high in the sky, like an ice mountain that would never melt in a world of ice and snow. When she looked at his figure from afar, it was as though she could see the endless vicissitudes of time and eternity.
She should have known this outcome. Even though the wedding represented a lifelong vow to her, it did not represent her happiness.
Didn't she understand this when she decided to marry this cold and heartless Black Fox Elder?
Then, why did she feel so disappointed now?
He was clearly in front of her, so close that she could touch him, but the distance between them was so far, as though they were separated by an entire world?
You are really heartless, my husband.
…
It's a disguise!
That's right!
Mei Xue anxiously looked at the silent White Fox beauty in front of him. Su Daji, the inheritor of the overseas Demon Fox Clan, had taken the initiative to marry him.
All of this was supposed to be an act. He and she had worked together to fake a wedding between the Demon Fox Clan and the Demon Fox Clan of Green Hill.
This was to calm the hearts of the people. It was also something that he, as the Black Fox Elder, had to do. In order to not expose his true identity, he had teamed up with the White Fox beauty to put on a show.
However, after they entered the bridal chamber, Mei Xue found that from the beginning to the end, no one except him seemed to think that they were acting.
The overseas Fox Demons who had traveled thousands of miles to return to Green Hill, the Green Hill Queen, the Black Fox Elder, and even the golden-furred, jade-faced Nine-tailed Fox Princess who had returned from Blue Dragon College and learned of his identity. Everyone gave him and Su Daji their sincere blessings.
More importantly, Su Daji didn't seem to have any intention of acting. She was serious and performed all the etiquette of a bride. She even took the initiative to kiss him and kowtow three times to heaven and earth before they consummated their marriage.
In the hibiscus warm tent, she took off her phoenix crown and red cape. Her snow-white face had a slight blush, as if she was waiting for something, but also seemed to be hinting at something.
This … this … is there a mistake?
It was only then that Mei Xue realized that he was the only one in the entire Green Hill who thought that the wedding was an act!
Looking at the bride who had bowed to Heaven and Earth with her and drank the wine, Mei Xue finally realized that she seemed to have been fooled!
"Husband, the wedding is over. From now on, I'm yours." Su Daji calmly looked at Mei Xue, who was disguised by the illusion, and said slowly, "Don't worry.
"Whether husband is willing or not, or how you will treat me, tonight is our wedding night."
"That … That's not a joke. Are you really willing to spend the rest of your life with me?" Mei Xue was dumbfounded. The joke had gone too far.
"I, Su Daji, swear in the name of the ancestors of Green Hill!" Su Daji raised her hand at Mei Xue who still did not understand what was going on.
"No matter what happens in the future, no matter if you truly love me or not, I will spend the rest of my life with the person before me."
"Even if … I can't be by your side?" Mei Xue finally understood what it meant to be in big trouble.
"No matter where you go in the future, I will wait for you."
Su Daji smiled. Since she had chosen Elder Black Fox who cultivated the Path of Supreme Forgetfulness, separation was almost a foregone conclusion. She had long understood that.
"Even if we can't meet?" Mei Xue was increasingly aware that she had gotten into big trouble.
"No matter if you live or die, no matter if you like or hate me, I will do everything I can as a wife."
"This is my vow."
She would not run away or pretend. There were countless choices in life, and no one would know which one was absolutely correct.
The only thing Su Daji was certain of was that the choice she was making now was something she acknowledged and was willing to accept.
Ever since she was young, she had held onto such a belief to do everything to the best of her ability.
Whether it was becoming the heir of the overseas Fox Demon Clan or marrying Elder Black Fox, as long as it was something she felt 'necessary' to do, she would do it to the best of her ability.
It was because of this determination that she became the young clan leader of the overseas Fox Demon Clan. She was destined to lead the overseas Fox Demon Clan forward.
"Sigh … Why?"
Mei Xue could not understand the thoughts of the White Fox beauty. If she shook her head, this wedding was destined to be a show between the two of them.
On the stage, as the bride, she performed flawlessly. On the other hand, the inexperienced Su Daji was full of flaws. Without the Golden Fur Jade Face Nine Tailed Fox's illusion, she would have been exposed long ago.
Who would have thought that she would turn the fake show into reality? What was she trying to do?
"Husband, do you dislike me that much?"
This was the first time Su Daji realized how unattractive she was. It was a huge blow to her confidence.
Although she was not a Fox Demon who specialized in the Path of Charm, the title of the overseas Fox Demon Clan's number one beauty was not given to her by herself. It was a title that was recognized by everyone.
"No … It's not like that …" Mei Xue shook her tail in annoyance. Her body unconsciously emitted the unique fragrance of the Golden Fur Jade Face Nine Tailed Fox.
