It's fake for now, but what if it becomes real later

In the library, Ying Bing stared intently at the scroll, appearing serious and aloof, though her fair hand holding the book was slightly curled.

"Hey, you've asked the right person."

"But I didn't ask, and who said the engagement... the wedding night is for the engagement..."

Ying Bing's learning materials on such matters were all from a certain gentleman, so she knew nothing about this aspect.

But she wasn't some naive kid either.

So, Qin Yuzhi looked at Shang Qinqing beside her.

"That's right, engagement means the wedding night! That's how it's been done since our ancestors' time."

"No one understands the wedding night better than I do. I'm the authority, listen to me."

A certain great merchant deity in charge of marriages and weddings nodded with a serious face, her words full of disregard for tradition.

Alright, although Shang Qinqing was trying hard to control her expression, her wildly upturned corners of the mouth betrayed her.

So what if it goes against our ancestors? A new life! I want to see a new life!

Ying Bing pursed her vermilion lips, pretending not to hear anything, and continued flipping through the scroll.

But seeing her fixed gaze, Shang Qinqing and Qin Yuzhi exchanged a look.

"Little Bing'er, could it be you two have already...."

"..."

Ying Bing remained silent.

But Shang Qinqing narrowed her eyes and sighed in relief: "Not yet."

"Hmm, the tips of her ears are red." Qin Yuzhi didn't even need to observe carefully. The usual Little Bing'er was never like this; it became very obvious whenever this topic came up.

Hearing this, Ying Bing silently let down the dark hair by her ear.

"For your first wedding night, you certainly won't have any experience. So, as the Azure Luan in charge of marriages, it's my duty to give you some basic knowledge."

"I also know a thing or two about this and can offer some advice."

Qin Yuzhi crossed her arms, looking like someone who had been through it all.

Alright, Old Qin actually hadn't tasted the pork either, but due to her constant sleepwalking, she had seen plenty of pigs running.

Shang Qinqing decided to start with the simple stuff:

"First, you need to prepare red cords. The bride needs to...."

"Be tied up." Qin Yuzhi's opening words were scandalous.

Shang Wu: "?"

This touched upon her blind spot. Preparing cords was for tying betrothal tokens to hang above the bed. Where did you learn the procedure of tying up the bride?

Shang Wu didn't understand and could only continue:

"Then it's drinking the cross-cupped wine. Oh, right, the wedding night, the 'wedding candles' are naturally part of it, so you need to prepare the candles in advance......"

Qin Yuzhi said as if it were obvious: "Right, choose the kind made from Sea Spirit Dew. They don't burn too hot, so they won't hurt when they drip on the body, and it's very stimulating."

Ying Bing: "Huh?"

The Cold Fairy rarely showed a bewildered expression. After all, with her perspective as a former empress in her past life, what scene hadn't she witnessed?

This scene she truly hadn't seen before.

Shang Qinqing: "?"

The deity in charge of marriages didn't understand but was greatly shocked.

Where have you brought me? Are those weddings you saw in your dreams proper ones?

"Yuzhi, where did you learn all this?"

"In the Grand Imperial Emperor's dreams. He was majestic and profound, so he should be quite authoritative, right? Is there a problem?"

"......I didn't expect..."

"Didn't expect what?"

"Ahem, let's talk about this next time." Shang Qinqing suspected the roots of those methods from the Joy Union Sect lay with the Grand Imperial Emperor, but he had been dead for thousands of years, so she swallowed the words 'the old man was quite frisky'.

"Your procedures are a bit too advanced. Better listen to me."

"Alright."

"Next is the important part, Little Bing'er, you must listen carefully. It's the most crucial thing about the wedding night!"

Shang Qinqing narrowed her eyes and meaningfully raised a finger.

"That is, how to make a baby!"

Little Mo is clearly a novice, and Little Bing'er seems completely clueless about this too. What if the two of them give up halfway? Then all her disregard for tradition today would be for nothing.

This sort of thing isn't easy to discuss with a man, so she could only guide Little Bing'er a bit.

"Come closer."

Qin Yuzhi was genuinely curious and leaned in. Ying Bing didn't move but could hear clearly, as Shang Qinqing's voice wasn't soft.

Our Sect Leader Qin listened, her face flushed red. Despite her age, she had truly only seen pigs run and hadn't tasted any pork at all. Now she was thinking about all that pork she had seen.

After talking for a long time until her mouth was dry, Qin Yuzhi suddenly paused mid-sentence.

Right.

Qin Yuzhi was having such a big reaction, so why wasn't Little Bing'er's face red or her heart racing?

Even though the two often slept together, she absolutely couldn't be mistaken—Little Bing'er was definitely untouched.

"Little Bing'er, did you take it in?"

"I listened."

"Then why are you reacting like this... Do you not understand?" Shang Qinqing asked, puzzled.

Ying Bing tilted her head: "I know. It's for dealing with Hammer Treasure. The childish one's learning materials have these things. I've accidentally seen them many times."

"....."

The words themselves were clear, but put together, they were hard to understand.

What does 'accidentally seen many times' mean?

Were you doing it on purpose or by accident...

What learning?

"And what the heck is Hammer Treasure.... Oh!~~"

Qin Yuzhi caught on.

Shang Qinqing felt somewhat embarrassed: "Then, Little Bing'er, is there anything else you don't understand?"

"There is."

"Like what? Tell me."

"It's... is getting clothes wet... normal?"

Ying Bing's face was ethereal and detached from worldly affairs, but the words from her mouth grew more scandalous the more one thought about them.

"Huh?" Shang Qinqing was stunned.

"What the heck is getting clothes wet.... Oh!~~"

Qin Yuzhi pondered briefly, had a sudden realization, and then her face flushed even redder.

"???"

Shang Qinqing gave a light cough. To be honest, she felt a bit creeped out and also a bit angry and chilled.

Little Bing'er is so pure and cool, yet in private, she's already... had so many new worlds opened by Li Mo? How many delightful moments had she missed in between? Damn it!

Maybe she should practice dual cultivation of the Time Dao—she wanted to reverse time and go back to watch!

She, a dignified deity in charge of marriages, actually had no say in this matter, all because the one she loved was a monk.

In the latter half, Qin Yuzhi did most of the talking. After recalling, she concluded based on proportion.

Getting clothes wet... that's not very normal.

"!"

The big-headed doll let out a sharp cry of alarm.

Ying Bing finally reacted, her clear, serene eyes losing focus slightly.

This wasn't normal, and it seemed quite embarrassing. So by asking just now, Qin Yuzhi and Shang Qinqing both knew...

Just as they were speaking, Li Mo came up to the library, having greeted Xiao Qin on the way.

"Are the engagement arrangements settled?"

Ying Bing averted her gaze, not daring to meet his eyes at this moment.

"Oh, all settled."

Li Mo nodded, wearing the face of a true gentleman: "Let's discuss the wedding night now."

"..."

Ying Bing lowered her eyes and glanced at the other two beside her.

So, did you all plan this in advance?

"?"

Shang Qinqing and Qin Yuzhi leaned back slightly, yet also felt like giving Li Mo a thumbs up.

This really wasn't planned in advance. At most, it's called great minds thinking alike.

No wonder he managed to pry open the doors to Little Bing'er's new worlds...
