Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

Zhao Qingxue, adorned with a phoenix crown draped in rosy light, stood before Hou Yuxiao with a layer of red silk covering her head. She said nothing, simply walking quietly to Hou Yuxiao's side, gently raising her hand to tap his mouth tenderly three times.

"I've made a vow with the Demon Path's heart. These three taps won't do anything!" Hou Yuxiao teased with a quirky expression, meaning to amuse Zhao Qingxue. But just as the words left his lips, he saw her shoulders tremble, and then from beneath the red silk, came her faint sobbing.

The slightest sound of weeping instantly touched the deepest recesses of Hou Yuxiao's heart!

Up to that moment, Hou Yuxiao had never felt that Zhao Qingxue genuinely loved him. He still believed that all of her reactions were because of the Life and Death Entwining Love Gu.

And for that very reason, he felt an even stronger desire to protect her.

Life and Death Entwining Love Gu, spanning the skies and descending to the Yellow Springs, impossible to cure with any medicine!

If that was indeed the case, then let it go uncured!

Without any hesitation, he grabbed Zhao Qingxue's wrist and pulled her into his embrace, chuckling softly, "Today is a joyous day. If you start crying now, I won't be able to take you with me later."

Sure enough, upon hearing these words, Zhao Qingxue gradually ceased her sobbing. She just slightly lifted her head to look at Hou Yuxiao. Though separated by the red silk, Hou Yuxiao could still feel the intense love in her eyes gazing at him.

He held Zhao Qingxue's hand tightly and then turned to look behind where Moxuzi, dressed in purple robes, had somehow come closer along with Mo Qingning and some Sect Members.

The reluctance in the eyes of Moxuzi and the Sect Members of the Ziqing Holy Sect made it clear that Zhao Qingxue had a lofty status among Moxuzi's line of disciples.

"Great Senior Sister, we'll surely visit you often in Hexi."

"If you're bullied in Hexi, you must send us a message, Great Senior Sister."

"That's right, if anyone in Hexi dares to bully Great Senior Sister, we'll never stand for it."

"Great Senior Sister, don't forget to come back to visit us too..."

"Master of Hou Family, you may be formidable, but if you dare to bully Great Senior Sister, we'll definitely come looking for you. You better remember that, hmph..."

"Hou Yuxiao, I'm not afraid of you. If I hear that Great Senior Sister has been wronged in Hexi, Mo Qingning will hold only you accountable!"

...

This was getting more and more absurd. Hearing Zhao Qingxue start to cry again, Hou Yuxiao swiftly stepped forward, patted his chest and said, "Rest assured everyone, once Qingxue goes to Hexi, I promise I won't bully her, and no one else will dare to either!"

With Hou Yuxiao's reassurance, Mo Qingning and the Sect Members whose names started with 'Qing' looked noticeably more relieved. However, there were still a few who, watching Zhao Qingxue stand behind Hou Yuxiao and thinking about how Great Senior Sister would now have to live in Hexi, away from her fellow sect brothers and sisters, couldn't help but tear up.

"It's getting late, Master of Hou Family. Let's set off. Don't miss the wedding banquet on the eighth day of the month!"

Even Elder Mo's voice carried a tinge of melancholy at this moment.

Hou Yuxiao nodded, thought for a moment, and with Zhao Qingxue beside him, knelt in the air before Elder Mo, bowing respectfully, "I take my leave now, Elder Mo. On the eighth of June, we await Elder Mo and all the Sect Members in Hexi."

Elder Mo looked at Hou Yuxiao and Zhao Qingxue, his expression slightly complex. Eventually, after a deep breath, he raised his hand to lift them from their kneeling position, nodding, "Go!"

Hou Yuxiao did not linger any longer. He gently lifted Zhao Qingxue, placing her on the red sedan chair prepared by the White Feather Guards. He mounted his horse and followed alongside, waving his hand, leading everyone back the way they had come.

Fetching the bride was not the same as getting married. This journey's purpose was to escort Zhao Qingxue away; the wedding banquet would wait until the eighth of June, the day they would truly gather all together.

What lay ahead was to see just how much turbulence they would encounter on this journey!
