Chapter 60: If you want to divorce and attain the Dao

Chapter 60: If you want to divorce and attain the Dao

A moment not long ago, above Chaoyun Sect lay a serene atmosphere. But if the perspective were raised a bit higher, overlooking the Star Sea from a place unreachable by human power, one would find the heavens suddenly silent.

The entire sky was wrapped in lightning like wandering dragons, where the dragons passed, accompanied by countless pitch-black lightning strikes, a terror absolutely unstoppable.

The lightning was silent.

——

In the room, a young couple gazed at each other, without words.

Silence quietly spread.

"What is the hair ceremony?" Yun Qian sat on the chair, asking very seriously.

Yun Qian appeared calm, seemingly no different from usual, yet in Xu Chang’an’s eyes... perhaps he had never seen his wife so shaken.

"You, ah." Xu Chang’an pushed the knife towards Yun Qian, then walked behind her, placed his hands on the chair, and said in her ear, "I told you, Miss should read more books."

"I understand that the body and hair come from the parents." Yun Qian pursed her cherry lips into a tight line, "Cutting hair is a very serious matter, I thought..."

"Cutting hair to sever affection?"

Xu Chang’an sighed, "Am I such a person in Miss’s heart? Even if you don’t understand, you must trust me."

"I trust you." Yun Qian turned her head, looking at Xu Chang’an’s face, gently said, "But... even the slightest possibility, no matter how tiny, I don’t want to be abandoned by you."

This is fundamentally different from someone guarding an empty room.

Her gentle eyes clear and bright, glimmering with soft water light, appeared to Xu Chang’an as beautiful as a delicate White Jade statue, both strong and fragile.

"How could I be so presumptuous?" Xu Chang’an covered his face, "Miss, if you don’t abandon me, I would thank heaven and earth."

He actually made Miss Yun uneasy.

"So... what do you want to do?" Yun Qian, feeling Xu Chang’an’s warmth, felt slightly relieved and tilted her head as she spoke, "Hair bonding for eternal life?" freēwēbηovel.c૦m

She had just asked Xu Chang’an what he wanted, could it be that he wanted immortality?

Something already obtained, there is no meaning in giving it again.

"Eternal life, what eternal life." Xu Chang’an lightly sighed, earnestly said, "Bonding as husband and wife, love without doubt."

To soothe Yun Qian’s unease, Xu Chang’an, while speaking, tucked the hair that had fallen out of place due to her panic behind her ear.

"Love... without doubt?" Yun Qian placed her hands on her knees, blinking.

"You’ve heard of hair-bonding couples, right?" Xu Chang’an said helplessly.

"Heard of it." Yun Qian responded.

"Then why did you think of cutting hair to sever affection just now?" Xu Chang’an smoothed his sleeves.

Yun Qian did not answer, for she had already said... even the slightest possibility, no matter how tiny, would make her uneasy.

Yun Qian’s slender fingers pointed at the sharp knife gleaming on the table, "Before, you would never let a knife be this close to me."

Again with cutting hair, again with knife presentation, for another young lady, she might think her husband wanted to cut affection and break righteousness, or even kill... wife to prove the path.

"The sense of ritual." Xu Chang’an’s tone was full of helplessness, "I just wanted some sense of ritual for the hair ceremony, after all, cutting hair with Spiritual Qi is too bland..."

How could he ever intend to harm Yun Qian?

His wife’s thinking path was indeed quite unique.

"Explain more precisely." Yun Qian said.

"At the wedding, the couple each takes a lock of hair, tie them together to signify unity, this is what it means to be hair-bonding couples." Xu Chang’an placed the Glazed Jade given by a Senior on the table, saying, "Wearing the bonded hair with Miss on my body... to me, there’s no gift better than this."

Yun Qian did not want him to wear the Jade Pendant given by a young lady, as the jade could have other ambiguous meanings.

However, if he carried their bonded hair with him, then... no matter what kind of jade, no matter what token, in front of this lock of bonded hair, it would be utterly insignificant.

This was Xu Chang’an’s way to reassure and satisfy Yun Qian.

"Hair bonding..." Yun Qian murmured, then a light blush appeared on her radiant face, her thin lips lightly parted, revealing exquisite pearly teeth, and her autumn-like eyes sparkled vibrantly.

She truly liked this suggestion.

"Wait a moment."

After leaving this sentence, Yun Qian, in Xu Chang’an’s slightly surprised gaze, treaded back to her boudoir in her embroidered shoes with a swift "thump thump thump."

Yun Qian stood in front of the dressing mirror, looking at her uncontrollable mouth corner.

——

At this time, the terrifying plasma beyond the nine heavens slowly dissipated, repairing the countless cracks as it left, dispersing the clouds to reveal the clear sky.

Yun Qian opened the cabinet.

Inside were all sorts of gifts Xu Chang’an had bought or made for her.

She took out a light-colored sachet, and Yun Qian fully removed the spices inside, wrapped them in cloth, and placed them back in the cabinet, taking out just the embroidered pouch.

These were all her treasures; even the spices couldn’t possibly be discarded.

——

"Miss?" Xu Chang’an blinked.

When Yun Qian emerged from the room, she was holding a delicate sachet embroidered with a cloud, a sachet that Xu Chang’an had bought and then modified himself, the stitching excellent.

Hmm, as a qualified housekeeper, how could one possibly not know how to handle needlework?

He had also learned embroidery while on the island, which he used to mend Yun Qian’s clothes and skirts, with the noble intention of honing his perseverance and meticulousness.

"You gave this to me." Yun Qian handed the sachet to Xu Chang’an, "I’m giving it back to you, use it to hold our bonded hair."

Xu Chang’an blinked, looking at Yun Qian’s enthusiastic expression, after the surprise, his eyes gradually grew warm.
