Tragic death in the previous life: After rebirth, the sickly prince pampers her every night

Chapter 3224 Lesser Fullness (The Wedding Night?)

Hu Xiaoman couldn't help but tease, "Frozen peaches, I wonder what they taste like?"

Little Peach, who was concentrating on setting up the formation, froze, her voice filled with grievance and accusation: "Little, little master, this hurts, it hurts my heart!"

Hu Xiaoman smiled, pursing her lips, and her gaze returned to the Ice Demon.

The ice demon was putting in extra effort to impress her, and it seemed he could stall for a while longer.

Just as she was about to enter the leaf pendant hanging around her neck to check on Hu Qingye's condition and, incidentally, to provoke him with her "marriage" with the Ice Demon to see if he would wake up, a bone-chilling cold suddenly assailed her without warning.

Hu Xiaoman was startled and immediately stood up, subconsciously distancing herself from the Ice Demon who had somehow appeared beside her.

She looked at him warily: "W-what are you doing? Why did you stop?"

The Ice Demon's lips curled into a smile, his crimson eyes fixed on her: "Little beauty, why are you hiding so far away? Come here quickly!"

"As I said, I am invincible in this ice cave!"

"I have just demonstrated my physical strength to you. Are you satisfied now?"

"So let's not waste any more time and hurry up and go to the bridal chamber!"

As he spoke, he approached Hu Xiaoman step by step.

The chill emanating from him grew stronger, causing Hu Xiaoman to shiver involuntarily.

"Wait!" Hu Xiaoman quickly took a step back, her mind racing. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she exclaimed, "There's still one last step to complete! We can't go to the bridal chamber so soon!"

The Ice Demon paused, a look of confusion and slight impatience on his face: "What other steps are there?"

"Let's drink the nuptial wine!" Hu Xiaoman said with a smile. "How can a human wedding be complete without the nuptial wine?"

"A wedding is incomplete without the nuptial cup being drunk together!"

The Ice Demon frowned, his crimson eyes filled with confusion: "Why is your human marriage so complicated? First you have to bow to heaven and earth, then you have to do push-ups, and now you even have to drink some kind of nuptial wine..."

"No trouble at all," Hu Xiaoman quickly waved her hand and explained with a smile, "It's all about the ceremony. It shows that we value this wedding and that you care about me!"

The Ice Demon said with some difficulty, "But I don't have any wine here."

Hu Xiaoman smiled and said, "It's okay if there's no wine, we can just use water instead!"

She pointed outside the cave: "Go outside and fetch some clean snow water. We'll use the snow water as our nuptial wine, it'll be just as meaningful!"

The Ice Demon hesitated for a moment, his scarlet eyes fixed on Hu Xiaoman with a hint of wariness: "Little beauty, you won't take this opportunity to run away, will you?"

Hu Xiaoman immediately shook her head: "Of course not!"

She put on a sincere expression: "I've already agreed to marry you, why would I run away?"

"Besides, you have just proven your strength and stamina to me."

"With such a wonderful husband, I can't bear to run away!"

The Ice Demon stared at her for a long time, his scarlet eyes swirling with an unfathomable light, as if carefully discerning the truth or falsehood in her words.

Hu Xiaoman's tone softened, as if she were coaxing a child.

"Now that I've agreed to marry you, why would I run away?"

"Besides, you just proved how amazing you are with your own strength."

She deliberately emphasized the word "amazing," her eyes filled with admiration.

"Don't worry, with such a good husband like you, I'm too busy cherishing you to run away."

The Ice Demon's crimson eyes brightened: "Then you wait here obediently, I'll be right back!"

He turned and strode out of the cave, his icy blue robes sweeping across the broken ice on the ground.

Hu Xiaoman watched his figure disappear into the cave entrance, and the tenderness on her face vanished instantly.

"Little Peach, is the formation set up yet?"

"Almost there, almost there, almost there..." Little Peach's voice was filled with a chilling coldness, as stiff as an icicle frozen in place.

"Just one last rune is needed, almost done!"

Hu Xiaoman: "Hurry, hurry, or your young master will really be ruined by this ice!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure in ice blue suddenly turned back—it was the Ice Demon who had returned.

Hu Xiaoman jumped back in fright: "You, how did you get back?"

Shouldn't we have him fetch the cleanest water?

So fast?

The Ice Demon smiled and said, "I almost forgot something important!"

He strode to the ice wall at the corner of the cave, and with a casual wave of his icy blue sleeve, an ancient wooden box appeared out of thin air in his palm.

As soon as the box was opened, a faint blue light poured out, and a chilling aura rushed out, carrying a bone-chilling cold.

Caught off guard, Hu Xiaoman couldn't help but let out a crisp sneeze.

When Hu Xiaoman saw the piece of jade-like material in the box, which had a faint blue luster, her pupils contracted slightly.

Is this the Yin Marrow of Ten Thousand Years?

She immediately spun half of her consciousness into Man Zhou Shikong.

In the wooden box in the pharmacy, the ancient Yin marrow she had previously stored lay quietly, gleaming with the same luster.

As Hu Xiaoman withdrew her consciousness, she looked up and saw the Ice Demon grinning, revealing a set of sharp, white teeth. Its scarlet eyes were full of smugness as it slowly spoke: "Over the past ten thousand years, countless cultivators have coveted the Ten Thousand Year Yin Marrow, all wanting to seize it for cultivation."

"Therefore, I divided the ten-thousand-year-old Yin Marrow in two and hid it away long ago."

"You are my wife, so naturally you should have half of me."

He tied the wooden box around his waist and patted it: "I need to personally carry this half to feel at ease."

After doing all this, he turned around again and strode out of the ice cave.

Hu Xiaoman watched the Ice Demon's retreating figure, her lips twitching uncontrollably!

She thought this ice demon was an easy little puppy to fool, but she never expected that this "little puppy" would have such a mind. She had underestimated him!

Now things are really complicated. Not only do we have to escape, but we also have to figure out a way to trick him out of that half of the ancient Yin marrow in his waist.

Hu Xiaoman sighed heavily, a look of worry creeping onto her face. She wondered how her fourth senior brother and fifth senior sister were doing.

Not long after, the Ice Demon returned carrying an ice-sculpted bowl, which was half-filled with clear snow water and still emitting wisps of cold air.

"Come, my little beauty, let's drink the nuptial wine!"

He handed the bowl of ice to Hu Xiaoman.

Hu Xiaoman took the bowl of ice, and when her fingertips touched the cold bowl, she couldn't help but shiver.

She pretended to take a small sip, then handed the bowl back to the Ice Demon.

The Ice Demon took the bowl, tilted his head back, and drank the snow water in one gulp. Then, he looked at her with a silly grin, his eyes full of expectation, and asked eagerly, "Now, can we finally go to the bridal chamber?"

Hu Xiaoman: “…”

Is there nothing else in this ice cube's mind besides getting married?

How eager they are to have a baby!

[Little Peach, are you done yet?!]

[If this doesn't go well, your little master might really have to go to the bridal chamber with this block of ice!]
