Chapter 235 All-Night Revelry

Chapter 235 All-Night Revelry

Tang Li lay on the soft brocade quilt, her black hair cascading down her pillow.

She looked up at the man who was staring at her with eyes that seemed to want to devour her whole, but there was no fear in her eyes.

Instead, she stretched out her fair, jade-like arms. Like vines entwining a tree, she slowly hooked her arms around Pei Yunjing's neck.

"Pei Yunjing."

She called his name in a soft, seductive voice, like a bewitching enchantress about to devour a man's life force.

"Since I am a demon, you'd better guard the doors and windows well."

Tang Li tilted her head slightly, her red lips close to his ear, her breath sweet as orchids: "Don't let this demon of mine... get away."

"run?"

Pei Yunjing chuckled softly, the sound echoing within the closed tent, so magnetic it made one's eardrums tingle.

He lowered his head and bit her delicate collarbone, leaving a unique mark on it.

You can't escape.

His voice was muffled, yet it carried a possessiveness that ran deep in his bones: "It's easy to get into this Demon-Sealing Tower, but getting out..."

"Unless I am dead."

"Hmm..."

Tangli's gasp was completely silenced by a deep kiss.

Immediately afterwards.

"Ding-dong—ding-dong—"

The four exquisite gold bells hanging at the four corners of the bed began to shake violently.

The crisp, melodious ringing of the bell, accompanied by breathless, blush-inducing sounds, created a moving melody in the quiet of the night.

The red waves surged and rolled, continuing all night long.

...

Outside the window, the moonlight was as clear as water.

Unlike the enchanting and vibrant atmosphere inside, the outside world was tranquil and peaceful.

Beneath the window of the master bedroom, a massive white-browed tiger lay sprawled on the grass, utterly undignified.

The big white dog rested its head on its front paws, its majestic fur gleaming silver in the moonlight.

It seemed to have heard the noise inside the house, twitched its ears in dissatisfaction, then rolled over, revealing its white belly.

[Snoring...snoring...]

It snored contentedly and soon drifted off to sleep. In its dream, it had endless meaty bones to eat, and its eldest sister would scratch its back.

And on the top of a tall sycamore tree not far away.

The magnificent gyrfalcon "Lightning" had folded its wings, standing quietly like a black sculpture.

Although its sharp eagle eyes are closed, they will instantly transform into deadly arrows at the slightest disturbance.

One tiger, one eagle, one land, one day.

These two "comrades-in-arms" who had once accompanied Pei Yunjing through life and death and conquered the northern border were now guarding the peaceful sleep of the newlyweds in the house in their own unique way.

They know that this place is safe, this is home.

...

Inside the room, the red candles had burned out most of their power.

The candle wax dripped slowly down the candlestick, condensing into the shape of longing.

The sound of the golden bells gradually subsided.

Pei Yunjing embraced Tang Li, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion, from behind, resting his chin on the top of her head and interlocking his fingers with hers.

He looked at the person in his arms, his eyes filled with a satisfaction and peace he had never felt before.

He was once a madman suffering from fire poison and overloaded senses; the world was a red purgatory to him.

Later, she became his medicine, the only straw he could grasp at on the edge of a cliff.

And now...

She was his wife, his life, the light he would cling to even if he were to fall into the deepest hell.

All the suffering, all the killing, all the displacement and fear, came to a complete end on this night.

From this day forward, whether it be the treacherous court or the long and winding road of the martial world, whether it be spring, summer, autumn, or winter, or birth, aging, sickness, and death.

He will always guard this "Demon-Locking Tower" and this "little demon" that belongs only to him.

The rest of their lives are long, and only this breathtaking sweetness will accompany them year after year.
