Chapter Ninety-Six: The Marriage Contract

Extra-betrothal

Yingning wanted to get out of the ghost gate, she held back in the underworld for too long, and wanted to wander around the mortal world. I didn't think of the door, but I was stopped by the ghost.

"Fairy Yingning, the ghost king has explained, and you are not allowed to go out alone."

"I'm only going out for a while, and I'll be back in a while." Ying Ning asked softly, revealing a pitiful look.

The ghost said helplessly: "Fairy, don't be embarrassed, if I let you out without permission and the ghost king knows, I won't be able to eat and walk around." ”

Yingning was very helpless, but there was no other way. She can't just conjure something out, and if I knew, they wouldn't be able to escape the doorman's ghosts. She is just playful, and if she affects others, she is also guilty.

She had no choice but to turn back, and halfway through, she heard the sound of a gentle wind behind her. She looked back curiously, only to see an old man walking in the distance. Tsing Yi plain shirt, the appearance of fairy wind bones, at first glance, looks like a master of the Tao.

When the old man approached, he was about forty or fifty years old, and although his face was slightly wrinkled, he could still see from his eyebrows and eyes that he must have looked dignified when he was young.

The old man glanced up and down at Yingning and asked, "Who is this fairy?" It should be a bit of a grade to look at. Although the old man doesn't go to the underworld often, he still knows the people here. Look, the fairy is very strange. ”

Yingning smiled and arched his hand: "I am a descendant of the Xuannu Palace, my name is Bai Yingning, and I came to the underworld to experience by order. When I first arrived, it was normal for the fairy family not to recognize me. ”

The old man frowned, as if he was talking to himself: "I have never heard that the immortals are going to the underworld to practice, it is really rare. ”

Ying Ning nodded in agreement, and echoed: "I also think this matter is very rare. ”

The old man looked at her again, his eyes a little puzzled. After a moment, he looked away and asked softly, "Do you know where Zhong Wuqi is now?" ”

"Are you looking for me? What are you looking for him? He went to the mortal world, saying that he had business to do. Ying Ning said fifteen-ten.

The old man nodded, "It's okay to go out, I'll wait for him." As he spoke, he raised his legs and walked forward, looking at the posture, he was indeed familiar with the underworld.

Ying Ning followed behind the old man and asked the question in his heart: "I haven't asked this immortal family yet, do you have a big name?" ”

The old man looked around and replied, "The old man's surname is Zhong Mingli, and he is Zhong Wuqi's father. ”

"Father...... Father, are you the owner of the hole? Ying Ning asked.

Zhongli turned to look at Ying Ning and asked in a deep voice, "Have you been to another cave?" How did you find out that there is a hole? ”

Looking at his face, he seemed to be a little displeased. Ying Ning didn't know if she had said the wrong thing, but the words had already come out, and she had to answer stubbornly: "I went with my brother, we didn't break in on purpose, we just bumped into it by mistake." ”

"You know me well?" Zhongli was even more puzzled by the girl in front of him, calling out to my brother. His son, when he was young, was naughty and mischievous, and he was enthusiastic. It's just that when I grew up, I don't know who I looked like, I became cold-hearted and unsmiling. When had he ever allowed a girl to call him so intimately, it seemed that he must have had a great deal of affection with her.

Ying Ning tilted his head and thought about it, and replied casually: "Familiar, familiar, he often comes to my room to drink tea and chat with me." ”

Zhongli touched the beard on his chin, raised his eyebrows and said, "Just drinking tea and chatting, have you ever done anything else?" ”

"It doesn't seem like I've done anything else." Ying Ning replied solemnly that they were indeed doing these two things most of the time. As for the rest, some trivial things are just not worth mentioning.

Zhong Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he came in time. "Fairy Yingning, you don't have to pay attention to the old man, go about your own business."

Ying Ning shook her head and said with a smile: "I'm the most idle one in the underworld, and I have nothing to do. Why don't I stay here with you and wait for my brother to come back. ”

Ying Ning is so enthusiastic, Zhongli can't shirk it. Looking at the corners of this girl's eyebrows and eyes, they were all full of cleverness, and there seemed to be a sea of stars in her eyes, and he seemed to have returned to thousands of years ago in a trance. If the innocent child is still there, maybe he is so old, and he is such a smart and agile girl. Just a moment of heaven, a moment of hell. Wu Wu died, and his daughter was gone.

He sighed to himself and said to Yingning: "If the fairy doesn't dislike it, can you invite the old man to sit in your room?" ”

"I don't dislike it." My father, she naturally wants to be treated as her own father. Own father? She seems to have no father.

Yingning took Zhongli to his room and made tea for him.

As soon as Zhongli smelled the smell of tea, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "This tea is ......."

Ying Ning put down the teapot in his hand and carefully explained: "This tea was picked in a different hole, and you must know it." It's just that without your consent, I picked it up without permission, which is really an unforgivable sin, and I ask you to surrender your guilt, and Yingning is willing to be punished. ”

Zhongli took a sip of tea lightly and said softly, "It's okay, it's a pity not to drink such a good tea." The hole is not unique to me, if you like it, you can pick it at will. ”

My father was so talkative, and he wasn't angry at all. Strike while the iron is hot, she admits it, "I also took one of your books." ”

"Oh? What book? Zhongli asked lightly.

"The Chronicles of the Three Realms, I saw it and thought it was interesting, so I took it back." Ying Ning replied honestly.

"That book, if you like it, I'll give it to you." Zhongli said very generously.

Ying Ning smiled, grabbed Zhongli's sleeve and said, "You are really kind and generous, if I knew this, I wouldn't be honestly afraid." ”

Zhongli looked at her fingers, slender and slender, white as onion roots. He frowned, many years ago, there was also a little girl who liked to tilt her head up, blink her big eyes, and her fingers tightly clenched the sleeves of adults.

He took a closer look at Yingning again, his eyebrows and eyes were as tender as water, but they were a little heroic. I've seen it too much, but it's really a bit similar to Wuwu. Could it be ......

"Father." The door was pushed open, and I hurried back.

Zhongli retracted his gaze on Ying Ning, looked at Wu Qi and said lightly, "You're back." ”

"I received your message and rushed to the scene. You said you had something important to discuss with me, but I don't know what it was? I asked.

Zhongli stroked the sleeves of his shirt that were a little wrinkled by Yingning, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing. In the early years, I traveled to the South China Sea, and I met the Dragon King of the South China Sea. When I lived in the Dragon Palace in the South China Sea, I saw that the princess of the Dragon King was born with a beautiful appearance, so I set a family affair for you. A few days ago, I saw the Dragon King, and suddenly remembered it. I think you have also reached the age of marriage, so it is better to marry the princess of the dragon clan immediately. ”

When I heard this, I was shocked that he didn't know that his father was privately engaged to him. How does this work? He turned to look at Ying Ning, who didn't seem to fully understand the meaning yet, and looked confused.

"Father, don't do this." I said solemnly.

"Why? I still have this marriage contract with the Dragon King, how can I break it so easily? Where are you going to put your Father's credibility? Listen to me in these things, and do not disobey. "Zhong was displeased, although I was cold and indifferent, I always listened to him. He was so confronted this time that Zhongli couldn't get used to it for a while.

Wu Qi hurriedly said: "Father, this is absolutely impossible. I have never known the princess of the dragon clan, how can I marry her casually? What's more, the child already has a place in his heart, and I will never marry the princess of the dragon clan. ”

"Where does the heart belong?" Zhongli glanced at Wu Qi, followed his eyes, and looked at Yingning. Zhongli seemed to understand, he pointed at Ying Ning and said, "You like this girl?" ”

Wu Qi looked at Ying Ning affectionately and nodded firmly: "Yes, the child will not marry anyone in this life except Ying Ning." ”

"You ......" Zhongli stretched out his finger and pointed at Wu Qi, and said coldly, "What if I don't agree?" ”

Wu Qi suddenly knelt down and said in a deep voice: "Whether the father agrees or not, the child is married to Yingning, I am happy with Yingning, and I hope that my father will be fulfilled." ”

"Without the order of your parents, you dare to make a private life, which is really rebellious. Do you want me to wear this old face and break the contract with the Dragon King? ”

I straightened my back, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "If the father feels embarrassed, the child can go to the dragon king to ask for sin." ”

Zhongli looked at Yingning and asked, "Are you really in love with me?" ”

Yingning nodded and replied simply: "Mutual pleasure is naturally pleasant." ”

Zhongli saw that he had made up his mind, and knew that he couldn't take him, after all, he was no longer the well-behaved child he was many years ago. Zhongli let out a long sigh and said, "I can't let you ask you to plead guilty. After speaking, he looked at Ying Ning again and said to her: "You girl, you are really extraordinary." ”

Zhongli didn't sit long, got up and left, and when he left, he still looked like he sighed for a long time, and he seemed to have a little melancholy.

As soon as Zhongli left, Wu Qi got up from the ground, and he was about to take Yingning's hand, but she avoided him.

Ying Ning looked at him and said resentfully: "You actually got married to someone? ”

I was anxious and said, "I don't know, it's the first time I've heard it today." It's my father who makes his own decisions, and he can't blame me. ”

Ying Ning still looked resentful, and muttered: "You actually married someone else." ”

Wu Qi held her shoulders and said softly, "You also saw it, I refused." Even if I get married to someone else, I won't do it. ”

Yingning's mouth turned over and over again, and he still said the same sentence: "You actually got married to someone." ”

I hugged her into my arms and whispered: "I won't marry someone else, you have to believe me." In this life, in this life, in the next life, in the next life, you are the only one I want to marry. ”

Ying Ning sighed in his arms, some mist welled up in her bright eyes, and she bit her lip and said, "Really? ”

Wu Qi stroked her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Naturally it's true, when did I lie to you." ”

"However, you still made a marriage with someone else."

I suddenly had a headache, and I couldn't explain it clearly. "My father has already gone to get married, and I will no longer have a marriage contract in the future."

"What if you don't get married? You don't still have to marry someone else. A gentleman's words are hard to chase, and you can't be a person who doesn't keep his word. ”

"Even if I regret my marriage, I will never marry the princess of the dragon clan. It's not fair to you, to me, to her. You believe me, no matter what, I'll take care of this. ”
