Chapter 1
###Chapter1,Marriage
Eleven years.
The night wind was very cold.
From my perspective, the entire city seemed to be shining under my feet. Of course, if you stood at the top of the city's tallest building, you would have the same idea.
"The place you chose is not bad, and your courage is not bad."
A lazy yet incomparably cold voice rang out behind me. Every word seemed to have been dug out from the Arctic permafrost and hit me again, causing me to shiver uncontrollably.
After taking a few deep breaths, I finally turned around with a trembling body. My hands and feet had long been sore from being overly nervous. If I was careless, my fate would be a pool of meat paste that no one could recognize.
It was different from the sorry state that I tried my best to hold onto the railing to maintain balance. The black clothed man easily stood on a thin iron rod. The antique black robe was fluttering in the wind, and he seemed as if he was about to ride the wind.
There was no expression on his handsome face, but his eyes were as cold as snow.
This was my enemy, er, or rather the creditor. Although it was beautiful, I didn' t like him at all, let alone love him.
The grudge between me and him had to be traced back to my Great grandfather Zeng generation.
In the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the chaotic people in the world were bored. In order to escape from the war and escape from the countryside, I was Great grandfather Zeng accepted as a disciple by an old Daoist who seemed to be in a poor state. From then on, I embarked on a path of catching demons.
Great grandfather Zeng was kind and generous. He wasn't the most sinful and evil monster. He only cared about cultivation, so he let it go after a little punishment. It was also because of this that he met the best and most guilty brother in his life, the Third Young Master of the Hu Clan.
They said that it was best because they were friends with each other. They had both saved the other's lives, and they said that they were guilty. Sigh, that Third Childe Hu fiancée had no idea when she would Great grandfather Zeng her heart to me, or even not marry him.
I didn' t have the right to comment on this old ancestor's relationship life, but Great grandfather Zeng caused Third Childe Hu to lose his wife and not run away.
Back then, the Hu family had come to ask for forgiveness. Originally, they had wanted to harm my Great grandfather Zeng family, but in the end, they had Third Childe Hu magnanimous enough to come up with a compromise.
Since Great grandfather Zeng owed Third Childe Hu a wife, the first daughter he would give birth to would be married to a descendant of the Hu family. It was not a matter of public judgment, but after that, although our family had many people, there were men and women throughout the generations. This public judgment had been hanging in the minds of the elders of the family, becoming a lingering debt and shadow.
Until I was born.
That's right, I' m the unlucky girl who wanted to marry into the Hu family to pay off my debts. The man in front of me was Third Childe Hu most beloved grandson— Hu Anxi.
If it was to be said that this person was truly different from the heavens and the earth, how long had I Great grandfather Zeng been ancient, yet Third Childe Hu was still alive. It was just that he had already become the Elder of the Hu Clan, not leaving the mountain for a long time.
I' ve known about my fate since I was young. Although I' m a descendant of the demon hunter lineage, I' ve never learned any spells or spells. My brothers of the same generation are all working hard, but I' m playing with my temper.
This was a form of guilt and compensation. I understand.
No matter how unwilling he was, when he was eighteen, the Hu family would come to welcome me. Today was my eighteenth birthday.
The reason why I chose to meet at such a high place was because of my selfishness.
What kind of era was this? After the founding of the People's Republic, no one was allowed to become refined. How could they even talk about paying the debts of a father and a son? If I wanted to get married, I would also want to marry my beloved person and let me marry a fox demon to repay my debts?
Forget it!
I was thinking in my heart that if this Hu Anxi were easy to talk about, it would be fine. It would not be sweet to force a melon. With his Hu family's arrogant personality, he probably wouldn' t want a daughter-in-law that was eccentric.
If he wasn' t easy to talk about, then I would jump down from here. Even if I fell into a puddle of meat paste, it would be better than marrying a fox. What ancestor's agreement was related to my life's happiness. Rather than living a life worse than death, it would be better for me to gamble again and cast a good child.
Even though my heart was filled with grief and emotion, the moment I stood at the top of this towering building, I completely fainted.
Mother Mi, what happened to her legs and stomach? What was going on when he wanted to jump down the street without even seeing the traffic below? If it wasn' t for the fact that I had been training for a few days to strengthen my body, and that I still had some strength on my hands and feet to hold the railing tightly, I probably wouldn' t have been able to wait for Hu Anxi to appear and reincarnate.
Even though I was facing Hu Anxi, my entire attention was focused on the railing under my feet and in my hands. I was wrong, I was really wrong. If there's anything I can say, I' ll talk about it when I move back to the roof platform!
"I' m asking you something. Did the cat get its tongue?"
I was carefully moving my footsteps when a cold and Hu Anxi voice rang in my ears. The wet and hot breath pounced on my face, scaring me into reflexively shrinking back.
His hand was empty.
I widened my eyes, both of my hands grasping in vain in the air. However, I could only watch helplessly as the railing on the roof and the black-clothed man grew further and further away from me.
My life is over!
Motherfucker, Hu Anxi, even if I was a ghost, I wouldn' t let you go!
The wind whistled past my ears, and I screamed at the top of my lungs. Suddenly, a scene appeared in my mind as my grandfather looked at the pile of meat and shouted my name. Really, is this the time to think about this?
"Are you still afraid? "How strange."
My waist tightened and I heard that familiar cold voice ringing in my ears. Then, my eyes rolled and I fainted.
When I woke up again, I stared at the mahogany carved bed beam above my head for a while. Why did I return to my home so quickly after my death? Didn' t I have to wait seven days?
"Xiao Man, you' re awake?"
An old voice brought me back to my senses. I shifted my gaze to see my grandfather sitting by the bed, looking at me with a tired and serious expression.
"Grandfather, you' re also dead?"
I asked in a daze, and a sudden pain appeared on my forehead. It was actually my grandfather's cigarette bag that hit my head.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Grandpa blew his beard and stared at me. In a short while, he changed back to his previous seriousness and said to me,
"What did you do? Why did Hu Anxi send you over? "Do you need me to remind you of today?"
My grandfather's reprimand finally allowed me to regain my mind. It seemed like I wasn' t dead! However, after only three seconds of happiness, I realized a more serious reality.
"Grandfather, Hu Anxi haven' t left yet? "You can' t even get rid of him?"
These words exposed my true thoughts. When Grandpa heard this, he immediately became furious and berated,
"Xiao Man! How could you have such an idea? Your fate was destined the day you were born. Didn' t you already accept it? Getting rid of him? "Stop your absurd thoughts and marry me today!"
"Grandfather!"
I cried out in alarm and sat up abruptly. Even though I had known that this day would come sooner or later since I was young, I had always been hoping that when this day really came, at least my grandfather would try his best to protect me.
However, I was wrong.
No matter how much he resisted, it was useless. In order to stop me from running away again or doing something stupid, his grandfather even cast a "curse" on me.
"Xiao Man, don' t blame grandfather. This is something our Meng Clan owes to the Hu Clan. We' ve been too tired from carrying hundreds of years of debt. We' ve let you down."
I couldn't say anything, and I could n' t move. I could only let the women of the clan surround me.
He combed his hair, applied powder, and tapped his lips.
The scarlet wedding dress was wrapped layer by layer, and its jet black hair was tied into a bun.
As I looked at myself in the mirror, I became more and more unfamiliar. The makeup in my clothes was not for the person I loved. Sadly, I probably did not have time to find a person I loved.
There wasn't much time left before midnight. Grandfather had to let me enter the Hu family's door before my birthday was over. Otherwise, the Meng family would breach the contract, and he didn't know what would happen next.
I had no choice but to accept my fate.
The big red veil covered the area. The only thing that he could see was the tip of his foot. He held the red ribbon in his hand until he pulled me forward.
The wedding ceremony in the phoenix crown was all an ancient style. In other words, the person on the side of the ribbon should be my future husband Hu Anxi.
I suddenly wanted to see his current appearance. Although I couldn' t accept that he was actually a fox, I had to say that his face could be said to be like the word' devastating'.
That's right. A man was more than a street away from me in terms of appearance. This knowledge made me very displeased.
As soon as I reached the door, Hu Anxi suddenly stopped. I couldn' t stop and hit him on the back. I staggered and fell backwards. The ribbon in my hand suddenly tightened and led me into a hard embrace.
"I can' t wait anymore, huh?"
A deep and deep voice sounded in his ears, and it removed the coldness that he had felt when he first met. It actually carried a hint of ambiguity, a hint of temptation, and a hint of disdain.
F*ck! Are you looking down on me? This old lady didn' t care about this stinky fox!
Just as I was about to explode, I suddenly heard my grandfather say,
"An Xi, can I say a few more words to Xiao Man alone?"
Hu Anxi agreed and walked to the side.
If it was to be said that he and my family's seniority were truly a muddle-headed debt. If that matter hadn' t happened back then, based on my friendship with Third Childe Hu, he would have been a sworn brother. Hu Anxi could' ve considered my grandfather to be his great-grandfather respectfully. But now, he had become my husband, my grandfather's grandson-in-law. This was embarrassing.
The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to laugh. Suddenly, I felt something stuffed in my hand. Then, my grandfather patted the back of my hand, lovingly and guiltily saying,
"Xiao Man, you' re no longer a child when you get married today. Don' t be capricious. It's time for you to grow up and take responsibility. Even though we' re paying our debts, An Xi is still reliable. You can go down to the ground."
The thing in my hand was round and cold, like a good piece of jade. Although he didn' t know what purpose his grandfather had given me, the hand that was patting the back of my hand was clearly hinting at me putting it away.
No matter what, my grandfather wouldn' t harm me at this time. I' ll put it away. It seemed that my grandfather didn' t want Hu Anxi to know that he had given me this thing. It was better for me not to cause trouble.
