Let's Get Married

"I want to keep it a secret. Li Fang is well known in the Jiang state. There are many people who must have investigated his background." She said after thinking about it.

"They may not know about my whereabouts, but they know me. If we reveal our relationship, then they will come to know about this as well." Bai Yunxi told him.

"I don't want to bring any shame to Li Fang. If people start speaking badly of him because of me..." Her voice trailed off.

"Xi'er, don't worry. I have already thought about this. The Su family doesn't even know about you. I haven't told them about your real identity yet."

"They don't have to know about us. They only have to know that I'm the one who will take care of you."

"If I use the Su family's influence to help you, they won't doubt it. They already know that I'm close with Li Fang."

"As for the Li family, they're not involved in this. I've arranged for them to stay hidden."

"If they want to work, they can take on jobs in any of our businesses under different names. Or, if they prefer, they can live quietly elsewhere."

Su Kang wasn't concerned about Li Fang. Li Fang wouldn't kill him—Bai Yunxi wouldn't allow it.

She has accepted Su Kang from her heart, so she will not let him die in front of her own eyes. Su Kang wants to damage Li Fang's destiny with Bai Yunxi so Fate can steal some of his destiny.

Fate had already instructed him to marry Bai Yunxi. Being her lover and being her husband were two different things.

As a husband and wife, it will be normal to create a family of their own.

Su Kang didn't know if Li Xiao was truly dead, and he didn't want to waste his destiny points to confirm it.

Instead, he planned for the worst-case scenario. If Li Xiao ever returned, he needed to ensure Bai Yunxi would never leave with him.

The best way to bind her to him forever was through their children.

"Xi'er, if you don't want others to know, I won't tell them," he reassured her.

"But shouldn't we at least tell our families?" he tried to persuade her.

Su Kang can't hide Bai Yunxi from his parents. Once they come back, they will come to know about her; he will not lie to his parents.

His mother might feel uncomfortable about Bai Yunxi's past, but she will still support her son.

As for his father, as long as Bai Yunxi didn't become head wife, then he will be fine. The head wife will be the one in charge of his family affairs. Bai Yunxi's temperament is not suitable for this.

The Su family doesn't have many direct descendants, and their male members tend to have few female companions compared to other major families.

His father wouldn't care about her background—as long as she bore him grandchildren.

Bai Yunxi considered his words. She had no problem telling her mother, but she wasn't particularly close to the remaining members of the Li family, so there was no need to inform them.

"But do you think your parents will accept someone like me? My cultivation level is weak, and my family background is ordinary," she said with a hint of worry.

"Don't worry, my parents and family will not object to our relationship." He said.

He explained the Su family's situation—his father had never taken another wife besides his mother, though both of his uncles had two wives.

"Since your heart is not clouded anymore, your cultivation speed will return to normal. Without heart demon, you are once again the cultivation genius of Qin city."

"As for my parents and family, as long as we gave them some children, they will not have any problem with you."

After listening to his words, Bai Yunxi was convinced to some extent. But she is not sure about having children with him.

"About having children...I think this is bad." She said in a low voice.

Su Kang's face fell slightly, he thought about it and nodded. "If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Seeing his reaction, Bai Yunxi hesitated. This was all happening too fast.

Both of them are looking at each other. Su Kang, after thinking about her situation, said this to her,

"Xi'er, I want to marry you. Even if you want to hide the relationship, then we will hide it. But I don't want you to suffer injustice without a status."

Keeping her as a mere mistress would be too risky for his plans. A hidden married wife was better than a mistress status.

"We don't have to hold a big wedding. Even a small wedding is fine in this village." He said.

They can think about children later, but marriage is most important for him.

Fate had already told him—marriage vows held power when taken under Heavens.

"Your mother will also feel at ease knowing we're married," he added with confidence.

Bai Yunxi nodded thoughtfully. A simple wedding in this village would ensure no one found out, and it would make her mother happy.

"You are truly caring." She said with a smile.

"Okay, we will marry in this village." She agreed with him.

"Good, now let's go back to the village." He smiled at her.

He held her waist and flew in the sky. He looked at her face and said,

"Don't worry, we will be landing in darkness. No one will see us like this."

She didn't say anything and looked at the surroundings in the moonlight and sky with countless stars.

"After a long time I have seen such a beautiful sky." She said.

"In the future, we will be seeing many such beautiful nights. I will try to show you countless beautiful things." He said, caressing her hair.

"I'm really lucky." She muttered shyly.

"It's me, who has hit the jackpot." He laughed at her.

Soon they reached the village, and Su Kang landed with her in the outskirts of the village. He sent her back to her mother's hut and then left.

Since he will marry her sooner in this village, then he has to prepare everything. But for now he needs a house.

He can buy a house in the city, but then he has to arrange people there. To keep a low profile, he has decided to make a house for himself near the village.

He can use wood from trees to make buildings, and he has some furniture in his storage ring. Other materials can be purchased from the city, or he can even bring people who are proficient in this.

He decided to do this tomorrow, and then he took out his spiritual boat. He went inside the boat and sat on the bed.

"Fate, tell me now." He said in his heart.

"Since she had accepted your confession, I was successful in getting some power of destiny."

"How much did we get?" he asked.

"2000 destiny points for your convenience."

"We got 2000 destiny points by doing this. You said I can gain more in the future. But how?" He frowned at the numbers.

He already lost 1000 destiny points before, but Li Fang has around 32,000 destiny points. He feels like he hasn't gained much from him.

"She has only accepted your confession now. We can gain some destiny points when you sleep with her. You didn't get her body yet."

"Also, when you marry her, there is something that I want to tell you."

"There are marriage vows in many different cultures. Such vows taken in front of Heaven hold the power of destiny."

"When couples take such vows or show such gestures, then husband and wife's destinies are tied together to some extent."

"In this way, both husband and wife share their destiny together to a little extent."

"So our destinies will merge?" Su Kang asked.

"Not entirely. You'll gain about 10-15% of her destiny, but if she dies, you'll lose it. She will also receive 10-15% of yours, which she would lose upon your death."

"But this will only work as long as your marriage lasts."

After listening to Fate's words, Su Kang understood the benefits of marriage ceremonies.
