Chapter 92

Planning a grand wedding is not an easy task, but Xie Fuzhi was clearly very happy.

Early the next morning, he appeared in the training area of the disciples, "Yu Jiu, you are in charge of our sect’s assets, right? Gather all the floating light silk. If it’s not enough for the wedding invitations, go down to the city to buy more."

"Wedding invitations?"

Xie Fuzhi then smiled brightly, "Yes, it’s for my wedding with your senior martial sister. She proposed to me yesterday, and we are going to hold a grand ceremony."

Yu Jiu stood still for a while. He had known these two were partners, but nothing had hit him as hard as this moment.

However, Xie Fuzhi was chosen by Yun Chuyou. In his eyes, she was the only phoenix in the world, and she somewhat deserved to be with his senior martial sister.

Yu Jiu quickly composed himself and showed an appropriate smile, "That’s truly a great event for our sect, congratulations Master! Did your senior martial sister say when the wedding will take place?"

Xie Fuzhi thought for a moment, "Please wait while I calculate the best time and date, and I also need to discuss it with my senior martial sister."

He certainly wanted to do it as soon as possible, but it was too early to focus on the grandness of the bonding ceremony. So, he needed to choose a suitable date that could ensure many people would attend the celebration and make it beautiful, but it couldn’t be delayed for one or two years.

Xie Fuzhi decided to get everyone in the sect busy, "You just need to prepare the satin for the invitations. I will write the invitations myself, and then I will give you a list."

Yun Chuyou entrusted him with such an important task; he needed to understand the entire process. He didn’t need to do everything himself, but he should manage every step carefully.

Yu Jiu was clever, but the other person could indeed manage such a large Ghost Realm.

Yu Jiu replied immediately, "Yes, Master."

Xie Fuzhi flapped his wings and turned to disappear; he still had to go inform the other two unmotivated disciples about this joyful event.

Yu Jiu quickly sent a message to Yun Chuyou, "I heard Master mention the bonding ceremony. He also said that you, senior martial sister, were the first to propose."

Seeing the message, Yun Chuyou laughed quietly. She thought to herself, no wonder Xie Fuzhi hadn’t come to bother her early this morning; he must have been busy worrying about the bonding ceremony.

She communicated through the Spirit Connecting Jade, "Yes, I proposed to him."

Yu Jiu originally planned to complain to the senior martial sister, but he didn’t expect Yun Chuyou to admit it so readily. He was stunned for a moment and added, "The senior martial sister treats the master so well. Men in this world, and male spirits too, often take advantage of kindness. The senior martial sister really spoils the master too much."

Yun Chuyou didn’t follow his words directly and asked back, "Am I not good to you, Meng He, and the younger martial sister?"

"Of course you are." Yun Chuyou has always been good to them, but that good was limited and not excessive; her kindness toward Xie Fuzhi was indulgent.

Yun Chuyou didn’t see Yu Jiu, but she could guess what her junior was thinking through the words, "Yu Jiu, you are my junior martial sisters and brothers, but he is my partner, someone who will live and die with me, who will accompany me for life. My kindness to him is natural. One day, when you meet someone you like and want to entrust your life to, you will also unconsciously treat her well."

Thinking of all that Xie Fuzhi has given her, she said, "Your master is also very good to me. However, many of his efforts, you have not seen. I hope to receive your most sincere blessings."

In those constantly repeating pasts, Yu Jiu’s outcome was not necessarily good, but he didn’t remember, so there would be no accumulated pain from repetition.

Yun Chuyou knew that Yu Jiu had built up a very large power in the Ghost Realm, and as the sect leader and senior martial sister, she had actually helped a lot during this time.

Yu Jiu cannot cultivate using spiritual power, but he can exchange spirit stones and other resources for what he needs.

The methods and treasures collected from outside include those from human cultivators, demon cultivators, and of course, ghost cultivation methods. Yun Chuyou places them in the common area, and anything useful for Yu Jiu, she gives to him every year on his birthday.

Of course, she is not biased. Whether it is her junior brothers or younger martial sisters, everyone has their own birthday celebration.

Not only do they have a celebration every year after joining the sect, but once the sect becomes wealthy, Yun Chuyou also makes up for the years they were not in the sect.

This idea came from Zhong Wei. The little girl was not favored from the moment she was born. Yun Chuyou made up for the first few years and even held a grand birthday party for her to show that she is someone to be looked forward to and celebrated in this world.

Yun Chuyou also made up for the other two junior brothers to ensure fairness. Meng He always claims he is older than Meng He, but Yun Chuyou still gave him the same amount.

Later disciples who joined the sect do not receive such treatment. After all, those who joined later are no longer Yun Chuyou’s junior brothers; they are her nephews and even grandnephews. These disciples should be cared for by their own masters.

Xie Fuzhi, her master, could also receive the same amount of gifts, but his lifespan is simply too long. If Yun Chuyou were to give him a gift every year, she’d end up emptying her own treasures and still wouldn’t be able to meet the demand.

If she started giving gifts from the time they first met, Yun Chuyou has never missed Xie Fuzhi’s, so there’s nothing to make up.

"By the way, the expenses for my marriage with your master will come from my private account, so take whatever is needed from my funds."

Even though the Qingxu Sect is very rich now, Yun Chuyou never thought of being greedy. Public matters are public, and private matters are private. Besides, she does not lack this little spirit stone.

Yu Jiu looked at the message on the Spirit Connecting Jade. After a long time, he replied, "Okay."

Just as Yun Chuyou would not interfere much with him, he would not interfere much with her choices.

Meng He was the second person in the sect to receive the news. He was standing alone on a peak, swinging a big knife, when his master Xie Fuzhi suddenly appeared in front of him.

Xie Fuzhi stood with his hands behind his back and seriously commented, "The way you wield this knife is really good, Meng He. Are you planning to perform your sword skills at the ceremony between me and your senior martial sister?"

Meng He rarely heard Xie Fuzhi praise him. Hearing it this time, he immediately swung his big knife at his master, saying, "Where did this monster come from, daring to pretend to be my master!"

His knife was easily restrained by Xie Fuzhi, who gave it a gentle strike, bouncing it back, "Rebellious disciple, do you want to harm your master?"

Meng He quickly replied, "Master just praised me, so I thought you were an imposter."

He heard Xie Fuzhi’s tone was very proud, and his first reaction was that it could not possibly be his master. Because of the comparison with his senior martial sister, it was clear that his master did not like him.

But if he doesn’t like it, then he doesn’t like it. Meng He doesn’t really care; it’s enough that the senior martial sister likes him. After all these years, it has mostly been the senior martial sister taking on the responsibilities of being a teacher.

Hmm… Xie Fuzhi still looks normal with that scowling face.

Xie Fuzhi scowled and gritted his teeth, saying, "Did you only hear the praise? Didn’t you hear what came after?" The first part is the key point; the first part isn’t even important.

It dawned on Meng He what Xie Fuzhi had said. His knife clattered to the ground, and he jumped up suddenly, completely losing the calmness of the knife master. "What did you say?! The bonding ceremony, whose bonding ceremony?"

He must be dreaming. He went to bed too late last night and hasn’t woken up yet; he dreamt such a strange and illogical nightmare.

Xie Fuzhi’s face lit up again, and he couldn’t help the corners of his lips curling up. "Of course, it’s the bonding ceremony between me and your senior martial sister."

"Yu Jiu is already busy. You should come help me too. You are good at refining weapons, so make some decorations for the event."

Right now, nothing is more important than his bonding ceremony with Yun Chuyou. It’s just a matter of a few months; if he practices less for a few months, Meng He’s skills won’t drop.

Moreover, any effort they put in these months will be compensated later with resources; he won’t let them work for nothing.

Unlike Yu Jiu, Meng He reacted much more strongly, "No way! Why are you going to form a contract with the senior martial sister? Aren’t you teacher and student? A true teacher-student relationship!"

This is not some kind of nominal teacher-student arrangement; Yun Chuyou is Xie Fuzhi’s only direct disciple!

Xie Fuzhi looked at Meng He with a complicated expression, "You are not even human, why do you care about human customs? Besides, what do you mean by a true teacher-student relationship? I have no blood ties with your senior martial sister!"

Meng He shook his head again, "I don’t believe it! I want to see the senior martial sister!"

He directly left Xie Fuzhi behind and ran to Yun Chuyou.

Yun Chuyou was busy counting her accounts when she saw Meng He burst in with a fiery spirit, "Senior martial sister, Xie Fuzhi said you are going to hold a contract ceremony with him. Is it true, or is he just joking?"

Meng He was so angry that he didn’t even call her master and just referred to Xie Fuzhi by his full name.

Yun Chuyou found it a bit amusing and a bit funny; she wasn’t going to go back on her word about this matter, "It is definitely true."

Meng He messed up his own hair, "Why? Everything was fine, why is this happening so suddenly?"

"Senior martial sister, maybe it’s better not to make a contract. If you two get married, how should I call you? Should I call you senior martial sister or should I call you master wife?"

Yun Chuyou smiled, "If you feel awkward, you can call me the sect leader and him Supreme Elder."

Her attitude showed that the decision was made, and it would not change just because others felt uncomfortable.

Yun Chuyou found it a bit funny, "We have long called each other companions on the path, holding a contract ceremony is just to complete the ritual. Is it so hard for you to accept?"

Meng He shook his head vigorously, "That can’t be the same! I thought you two would be apart."

The cost of being together is low. Breaking up and getting back together is very normal. He thought that one day, senior martial sister might just find this annoying phoenix displeasing and would turn away from him.

But holding a contract ceremony was different, especially because Xie Fuzhi revealed while boasting that they would hold a ceremony that binds their lives together, an unbreakable contract.

Meng He looked heartbroken, "Senior martial sister, please be sensible. There are so many handsome men in this world. Don’t give up a whole forest for just one tree."

In their demon race, there are no devoted monsters. They generally do not make contracts with humans. A demon king would only have one demon queen, but he might have many demon concubines and countless lovers.

Besides, this demon queen means that there can only be one at a time. If she dies, a new one can still be chosen.

Meng He did not have any special feelings for Yun Chuyou. Even if he returned to the Demon Realm, killed all his former rivals, and successfully took the throne, he never thought of marrying Yun Chuyou.

The great senior martial sister is an elder he respects; she is like a motherly older sister. Meng He thinks that even the title of demon queen would be an insult and a humiliation to the great senior martial sister.

His own great senior martial sister is so powerful; at such a young age, she has reached the Astral Projection Stage. She will definitely advance quickly to the Soul Changing Stage and Transcendency Stage, and even ascend to a higher realm.

And how old is the phoenix? The great senior martial sister is much younger; she should not be bound to Xie Fuzhi.

Xie Fuzhi, who rushed over, turned pale when he heard Meng He’s words.

"Traitor, go to the cliff of reflection and face punishment! A whole year of punishment!"

Within a year, he will have bonded with Yun Chuyou. By then, when everything settles down, he won’t be afraid of Meng He causing trouble or shaking Chuyou’s mind.

What a foolish person! It’s one thing to be unable to accept reality, but to come over and demand that Chuyou break up with him. If it weren’t for Yun Chuyou, he would have set this traitor on fire.

Yun Chuyou patted Xie Fuzhi’s back, "Alright, alright, take a deep breath and don’t be angry."

"Meng He, once I make a decision, I won’t easily change my mind."

She sighed, "If you can’t accept it, go to the Reflection Cliff, get some fresh air, and think it over. Come back when you understand."

"You are my junior brother and one of the most important people in my life. During my bonding ceremony with your master, I hope to have your blessings."

Meng He was unwilling to accept reality and quickly ran to the Reflection Cliff, trying to clear his mind: Wait, does the senior martial sister really like Xie Fuzhi that much? What about him attracts the senior martial sister?

After feeling upset in front of Meng He, Xie Fuzhi felt less inclined to seek out Zhong Wei.

After comforting him with hugs and kisses for a while, Yun Chuyou helped Xie Fuzhi calm down. Noticing he still wanted to show off, she suggested, "It wouldn’t be good if anyone from our sect felt left out. The younger martial sister is sensitive. If we don’t let her know, she’ll feel really sad."

Xie Fuzhi didn’t care whether Zhong Wei was sad or not. He wished that Chuyou’s thoughtfulness was just for him, but reason told him that it was precisely because Yun Chuyou was a kind and thoughtful person that made his heart flutter.

"Okay, but I want to spend a little more time with you."

Yun Chuyou smiled and squeezed his hand, "I will go with you, so there won’t be any misunderstandings later."

"There are now hundreds of disciples in the sect, so there is no need to inform each one individually."

Yun Chuyou said, "To spread some happiness, you can go directly to our sect’s task board to post a task, like leaving a blessing message, offering ninety-nine lower grade spirit stones or something similar, with each person able to claim it once."

Ninety-nine means lasting a long time. Although lower grade spirit stones are not much for her level, they are a good amount of income for the new disciples in Qi Refining Stage.

A small task that can be completed with a blessing message is like a spirit stone gift; I am sure many disciples would be happy to do it.

"You are really smart, Chuyou!"

Xie Fuzhi thought of the many uses for the task board. He could use spirit stones to post other tasks related to the commitment ceremony, and then all the disciples would happily get busy.

With tasks to take and spirit stones to earn, those disciples would surely be cheerful and willing. He didn’t want them to look unhappy while working, as if they were forced, which could ruin the good luck for his marriage with Yun Chuyou.

After Zhong Wei, who was with Yun Chuyou and Xie Fuzhi, found her own demonic pill and Spiritual Root, she now has the cultivation of Nascent Soul Stage, which is more than enough to be a peak leader in the small Qingxu Sect.

In her peak, she did not take any human disciples; all she accepted were demon beasts. Some were pureblood demon beasts, and some were half-demons who were bullied on both sides.

Half-demons, who are mixed between humans and demons, are often bullied. Half-demons feel that only purebloods can have great power, and human cultivators reject half-demons simply because they are not of their kind, believing their hearts must be different.

Because of the Beast Control Sect incident, with Yun Chuyou, Xie Fuzhi, and the support of Qingxu Sect, they brought back many demon beasts that had been harmed by cultivators from the Beast Control Sect.

Although the rules of the Beast Control Sect state that disciples must treat their demon beasts well, even the best sects still have bad apples. Most cultivators love their spirit beasts, but some treat their demon beasts as mere goods, abusing them as they wish.

With the decline of major sects, it is clear that the Beast Control Sect allowing Danchenzi to do things like that and accepting a direct disciple like Zhong Wei’s eldest sister shows that the sect is deeply rotten, no longer like the times when demon beasts and humans coexisted harmoniously for thousands of years.

In the storyline that Yun Chuyou saw, the wicked supporting character Zhong Wei also succeeded in her revenge. She not only regained her Spiritual Root and demonic pill but also managed to bring down the entire Beast Control Sect.

Of course, she alone did not have the ability to overturn one of the top sects. The chaos in the Beast Control Sect started to crumble from within, caused by the demon beasts that were severely abused in various ways.

But now it is still early; before those demon beasts suffered more harm, Zhong Wei took them out.

At this time, those demon beasts did not harbor such strong hatred towards human cultivators, but they certainly trusted Zhong Wei, the half-demon, more than the human cultivators.

More importantly, Yun Chuyou, the leader, inspired many of the injured demon beasts to come out and show themselves.

Of course, taking away so many demon beasts at once meant that some were weak and of low quality. The Beast Control Sect did not mind, but some were of good quality and worth a lot on the market.

Even the compensation for Zhong Wei was a bit too much, but Yun Chuyou took some money from the sect’s funds and also sponsored some from her own pocket, paying with many spirit stones, and successfully brought all these demon beasts out.

With a lot of spirit stones for feeding, these demon beasts were all well taken care of, and their once terrible fur became smooth and shiny; Zhong Wei did not raise them in vain.

Demon beasts naturally have wild traits, so they cannot all be raised to be lazy and just wait for food.

Once the injured demon beasts are healed, she will let them go into the mountains to hunt, trying to help them be self-sufficient.

Because at the time of taking the demon beasts away, Yun Chuyou, as the leader, put in a lot of effort, and she often comes here to feed them tasty little snacks; as soon as she arrives, a big group of fluffy creatures gathers around her.

"Chirp chirp chirp," "Grumble grumble grumble," "Whine whine whine," "Meow meow meow," "Howl howl howl," "Bark bark bark"…

The various sounds of different demon beasts sounded like a zoo had opened up in the mountains.

Xie Fuzhi watched with a lot of jealousy as Yun Chuyou was buried under all the fluffy creatures, and she was barely visible.

He transformed into a phoenix and gently fanned the fluffy balls away with his wings.

"Alright, alright." After fluffing the phoenix’s feathers, Yun Chuyou crouched down again to pat each fluffy ball on the head, giving them tiny treats one by one. She remembered what each spirit beast liked to eat.

However, as she continued, Yun Chuyou noticed many new faces. No matter if they were familiar or not, they were all adorable fluffballs. For the newcomers, she gave them some general spirit beast treats, patted their heads, and rubbed their bellies.

Xie Fuzhi did not stop Yun Chuyou from petting these little fluffballs, but he stood by, watching, wanting to pull out any fluffball trying to sneak back for a second round of treats.

What a joke, it was already hard for him to accept Yun Chuyou taking care of these fluffballs; if each one came back for second and third treats, Chuyou’s time would be completely taken up by them.

Zhong Wei heard the commotion and came out to help. As soon as she did, a small group of fluffballs immediately clung to her, "Big senior martial sister, what brings you here?"

In the original story, Zhong Wei was not liked by either side and faced too much hostility, so later, she wanted to change from being human to having pure demon blood, using quite radical methods.

Just because she wanted to become a pure-blood demon does not mean she liked the demon race; she simply believed in having great power and thought that weak demons should be eliminated. To become a demon, she was very harsh towards both humans and monsters.

But now, Zhong Wei’s expression was gentle as she looked at these little furry balls with warm eyes. Even though these little fluffballs had very little power and were of low cultivation, she still liked them very much.

Yun Chuyou did not come every day to pet the fluffballs; usually, she visited about once every two weeks when nothing else distracted her.

The last time she came was just three days ago.

Yun Chuyou praised, "You have raised them very well; they are friendly and not afraid of people."

Among them were some demon beasts that had been hurt by human cultivators. Although they acted affectionate in front of Zhong Wei, they could not help but show signs of dislike when they saw other human cultivators. Still, these little fluffballs were very well-behaved.

Zhong Wei shook her head, "Some of them are still very scared of people. When other disciples from the sect come close, they show their teeth and act fierce. But they all really like you, senior martial sister."

"It’s okay to be a little fierce, as long as they do not hurt people on purpose," Yun Chuyou said. "Raising a spirit pet is all about fate. If a demon beast wants to form a bond with a cultivator, let them choose the person they like."

The Beast Control Sect mainly selects demon beasts that are strong, talented, and of high cultivation. Those with weak abilities are often disliked. Some with high cultivation and great talent may have poor tempers, strong pride, and do not want to be submissive, so they may be forced into a bond with certain cultivators.

The Beast Control Sect has a unique method of controlling beasts; forcibly bonding only harms the demon beasts, not human cultivators.

Zhong Wei nodded and agreed, "That is exactly my plan. Also, for every demon beast I have a contract with, I will arrange for some disciples to visit regularly, and these visiting disciples will also change."

Yun Chuyou showed an appreciative expression, "Little younger martial sister, you have thought this through very well."

Zhong Wei humbly replied, "I learned all this from you, senior martial sister; you taught me well."

As the two of them continued to humbly praise each other, Xie Fuzhi tugged at Yun Chuyou’s sleeve to remind her of their purpose here, "Chuyou, didn’t you forget the main point?"

Zhong Wei took the initiative, "Senior martial sister, you came here to discuss the contract ceremony, right?"

Yun Chuyou nodded, "You already know?"

Zhong Wei said, "Yu Jiu and Martial Brother Meng He just told me through the Spirit Connecting Jade, and Martial Brother Meng He seemed a bit excited."

Yun Chuyou replied, "He is indeed quite excited; he is still by the Thought-Reflecting Cliff feeling the cool breeze. I thought it would be better to share this news face to face, and I came over to check on them. At the contract ceremony, they can also join the fun."

The various fluffy demon beasts appearing at the contract ceremony will surely create a very romantic atmosphere.

When Zhong Wei saw this news, she felt very excited. However, being a woman, her thoughts were more delicate, and after her excitement, she quickly calmed down.

The big senior martial sister does not like female cultivators, and compared to those unknown people outside, Xie Fuzhi is not bad at all. At least he is handsome, capable, and very generous towards the big senior martial sister, with a devoted heart.

She knew when she joined the sect that her master was indeed biased, but he favored the big senior martial sister. To her, such a wonderful person like the big senior martial sister deserved the best.

Xie Fuzhi’s personality is not great, but he treats the big senior martial sister well enough, and that is enough.

Zhong Wei sniffed, not sure what scene came to her mind, feeling a bit reluctant, "Then I want to congratulate the big senior martial sister first; you must be happy and joyful."

Yun Chuyou glanced at Xie Fuzhi, "Actually, there isn’t much difference after the contract ceremony than before; I am very happy now."

"After the contract, I still live in Qingxu Sect, and I am still your big senior martial sister. We will continue as we did before."

Zhong Wei realized, "That’s true."

Fortunately, Yun Chuyou chose Xie Fuzhi instead of another sect’s cultivator. Her senior martial sister is so outstanding; if she were to find a partner, she must look for someone of equal status to match her.

If that is the case, the great senior martial sister might step down as the leader of Qingxu Sect. Although it is possible that the man may follow the great senior martial sister, there will still be some complications.

Moreover, if the man is a cultivator from another sect, even if he comes with the great senior martial sister, during festivals or when other sects hold events, the great senior martial sister will have to take people out of the sect.

In this way, it seems better for the great senior martial sister’s partner to be a cultivator from Qingxu Sect. It will be easier within the sect, and the great senior martial sister won’t even need to change her territory.

At this point, Zhong Wei was truly happy. While feeling happy, she asked a question similar to one she had asked Meng He, "So after the bond, what should I call you?"

Yun Chuyou replied, "Call me whatever you like."

Zhong Wei happily said, "Then I will still call you great senior martial sister and call you master."

By keeping the original titles, she could fool herself and pretend that the bonding situation never happened.

Zhong Wei said, "Great senior martial sister, don’t worry. I will definitely train these demon beasts well, and on the day of the bonding ceremony, I will not let you down!"

Since it was something that was destined to happen, she wouldn’t be foolish like Meng He and speak out to stop it.

Zhong Wei has two rules for life. The first rule: whatever the great senior martial sister decides is definitely right.

The second rule: if you think the great senior martial sister is wrong, take a deep breath and read the first rule again.

The fluffy creatures that Yun Chuyou loved inspired some ideas in Xie Fuzhi. He suddenly said, "I heard that on the Qixi Festival, magpies build a bridge. Chuyou, how about I have them build a bridge for our bonding ceremony too?"

So he stood on one side, and Yun Chuyou stood on the other, and the two of them walked towards each other across the bridge.

Yun Chuyou did not like the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, but instead of saying it was rude for the Cowherd to steal the clothes, she just said, "But the meeting on the magpie bridge is because the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl were separated by the Queen Mother, and they can only meet once a year."

"Then let’s skip that part!" He could see Yun Chuyou every day, so it wouldn’t make sense to only meet once a year after they bonded.

Xie Fuzhi hoped that every part of the bonding ceremony would be filled with beautiful meanings, and he wanted to avoid any unlucky rituals.

"Then I’ll look through some books and find something else!"

The Phoenix tribe has its own traditions, but those are only for their own knowledge, like how the male bird must build a huge and beautiful nest for the female bird.

The traditions of the Phoenix Clan must be followed, and the traditions of the human race must also be followed.

He has already decided to knock down the house they live in on the mountain and rebuild it.

"Master, master, you are going to hold a bonding ceremony, how can you not call me?"

Carrying a burden, Hu Xiaobai appeared in front of Yun Chuyou through the teleportation array. The message about Hu Xiaobai came from Zhong Wei, who received it from Yu Jiu Meng He.

To make it easier for Hu Xiaobai to go home, Qingxu Sect and Blue Mountain built a new teleportation array, which is located on the peak where Zhong Wei stays.

Zhong Wei’s other half of her bloodline is from the Fox tribe. Their peak also took in some of Blue Mountain’s Fox tribe, including some very young demon beast cubs, and they specially invited experienced fox spirits from the Fox tribe to come and take care of them.

With his six tails, Hu Xiaobai could be said to bring pride to his family at Blue Mountain. As soon as he learned the news through the Spirit King, he quickly packed his little bag to come back.

No, when he went, it was a small bag, but when he returned, Hu Xiaobai carried a large bag and a small bag, bringing back many special products from Blue Mountain for his family master, along with gifts for others and other demon beasts.

Although Hu Xiaobai is Yun Chuyou’s demon beast, since Yun Chuyou moved to the top of the snowy mountain to sleep with Xie Fuzhi, Hu Xiaobai has spent most of his time at the peak where Zhong Wei is, and those fluffy cubs really like Hu Xiaobai’s big tail.

So, although Hu Xiaobai is only a few hundred years old, he is already an excellent and skilled young father who takes care of children.

Yun Chuyou smiled and said, "I was just about to let you know for the next one."

She helped take off the big and small bags from Hu Xiaobai, "You came back so quickly; I was planning to send you to Blue Mountain with an invitation."

Her ceremony with Xie Fuzhi would definitely invite more than just human race cultivators.

The demon race and the ghost tribe can invite some friendly guests, but for the demon race, that’s not possible for now.

After all, the demon race has been blamed for many wrongdoings over the years. When something bad happens in the spiritual world, people like to blame the demon race. Some things are indeed their fault, but others are purely blaming them.

In the spiritual world, the demon race is synonymous with troublemakers, disaster starters, and the root of all evil. Even a sect like Qingxu, which doesn’t mind if their disciples are purely from the human race, cannot openly associate with the demon race.

Hu Xiaobai patted his chest, "Now that we have a teleportation array, it’s very easy to go to Blue Mountain. I have enough spirit stones saved up for the trip."

That’s right, even for Hu Xiaobai, using the teleportation array of the sect requires spirit stones. However, as a contracted spirit pet of the leader of Qingxu Sect, he holds a status similar to that of several elders, so the cost of using the teleportation array is greatly reduced.

This money is for extra expenses, not necessary expenses. Yun Chuyou won’t pay; Hu Xiaobai must use his own pocket money.

Xie Fuzhi said, "The invitation hasn’t been written yet, and it isn’t made yet."

Hu Xiaobai happily suggested, "Then let’s print my fox paw on the invitation!"

It is Yun Chuyou’s spirit pet, and it can be considered part of the family.

"No way," Xie Fuzhi thought Hu Xiaobai’s idea was too fanciful. How could they include Hu Xiaobai in the ceremony for him and Yun Chuyou? Not even the spirit pet could be included.

However, this was not a bad idea. One moment it was Hu Xiaobai’s, and the next moment it belonged to him, "Chuyou, should we add one of my feathers to our invitation?"

Yun Chuyou was very surprised, "How many feathers do you have? Are you planning to pull them out one by one? That’s not nice."

Although the phoenix can be reborn from its ashes, it doesn’t shed feathers like other creatures. When Hu Xiaobai grows and reaches a higher level, old fur falls out, and he also sheds fur normally. If he collected it, the fluffy fox fur could fill an entire cave.

But the phoenix is different. Other demon beasts are made of flesh and blood, while a phoenix can be reborn because it is essentially fire.

Xie Fuzhi does not shed feathers; when he is reborn, all of his feathers will turn to flames.

The feathers he uses to attack fly away as spells, but those feathers are actually just flames and leave no traces after they burn.

If he wants to give Yun Chuyou the kind of feathers that protect her, he can only pluck them from himself.

When Yun Chuyou entered the secret realm before, those feathers were plucked like that, and at that time, Xie Fuzhi tricked her, saying they just fell off.

She still really likes the beautiful, soft feathers of the phoenix and cannot accept Xie Fuzhi plucking feathers for the wedding.

"I meant to make the shape of my feathers with other materials, not really use my feathers," he said.

Xie Fuzhi replied, "All of mine are from Chuyou, including these phoenix feathers; I will not do something you do not allow."

There is a saying in the Mortal World, "The body and hair are received from parents; one must not harm them."

Xie Fuzhi is a naturally born phoenix, having no parents from the beginning, but once he has a partner, he belongs to Yun Chuyou, whom he recognizes as his wife.

Hearing Yun Chuyou’s caring words, Xie Fuzhi felt a warm happiness inside.

"That’s fine." Yun Chuyou still had some unused phoenix feathers, so she would draw the design based on those.

Although she was single in her last life, she attended many weddings while studying, so she could refer to the invitation designs from her previous life.

"The shape of the invitation can be cut into the shape of a phoenix."

She thought about the fancy invitations she received at the Grand Gathering; their bonding ceremony could be designed to be even more extravagant.

Although she said she would leave everything to Xie Fuzhi, she couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. Since she was skilled at crafting, she decided to take care of the invitations.

"What Chuyou said is good, so let’s design the phoenix circling around the clouds."

The phoenix and clouds clearly showed that they were becoming partners in marriage.

The bonding ceremony was finally set for two months later, which was a great day, suitable for marriage, feasting, ground-breaking, and more.

Xie Fuzhi spent a lot of money to send out invitations, inviting many guests to the feast.

Yun Chuyou used the call order given by the Hundred Clans Competition for the first time by sending a message: the leader’s wedding is in two months, please come quickly.

The call order has a limit on the number of words, ten words is the maximum.

However, the people receiving the call order can see who sent it and can also see the address.

Yun Chuyou didn’t mention her name, but when they saw Qingxu Sect Yun Chuyou, they naturally knew who the main character was.

Qingxu Sect is very powerful and can accommodate as many guests as they come.

The last time everyone was summoned, it was for the great disaster.

However, previously Yun Chuyou fainted and was unresponsive, and that Tianji Sect master was caught by Xie Fuzhi and taught a harsh lesson.

When the people behind asked him how to respond, Master Yan just shook his head and said to see how it goes. Tianji has improved, but as for the solution, he didn’t know.

The great disaster of the world is unknown when it will arrive, but everyone has to continue with their lives.

This joyful wedding feast certainly adds a bright splash of color to everyone’s lives.

Two months quickly passed, and on the day of the wedding ceremony, many spiritual ships from different sects gathered outside the Qingxu Sect’s entrance, even more than during the grand gathering of a hundred sects.

Not all these cultivators came just to attend the ceremony and celebrate the newlyweds.

Among the sect masters, there were whispers that at this Phoenix wedding ceremony, there might be trouble from the demon race, and this could be the beginning of the Tribulation of Destruction.
