The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 620 Weird Rules

"What's wrong? You seem to be worried about something?" Linghu Wen asked, his head tilted, with concern in his eyes.

Si Ning gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly, "The young master's flute music is so touching that it reminds me of the past."

Linghu Wen's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and it was difficult to describe, "How could you hear the deep meaning in the song?"

Si Ning nodded, his eyes sparkling with sincerity, "It's easy to get a fortune, but it's hard to find a soulmate. If I had to, I would also like to stay by your side forever."

Linghu Wen was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "If you hadn't fallen into this place for some reason, and if you were truly willing to submit to me, there would be a place for you in my demon world." Si Ning had mixed feelings and was hesitant to speak.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, Si Ning has spent more than four months in the Demon Cult. It was a hot July, and the heat wave was overwhelming. Facing the delicacies on the table, she had no taste for them, and fiddled with the food in the bowl absentmindedly.

Suddenly, a strange light caught her attention. It was a wax ball, lying quietly beside the food. She observed the maid calmly, and after confirming that she had not noticed, she sent her away with words.

After Xiao Ai left, Si Ning quickly opened the wax ball and a piece of paper came into her sight. It clearly read: "Rescue His Majesty in five days." Her heart beat faster. She was very familiar with the handwriting. It was written by Jun Yuanxun.

Just as she was secretly rejoicing, Linghu Wen's voice suddenly rang in her ears, "I heard that you want me to have dinner with you?"

Si Ning quickly calmed down and put on a gentle smile, "I just feel lonely and want to talk to someone." Linghu Wen shook his head helplessly, "With your personality, I really don't know how you survived in the deep palace."

Si Ning chuckled: "The empress doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, and I have my own way of survival."

Linghu Wen shook his head helplessly: "Anyway, I heard that your empress is not doing her job properly. I heard that she has thousands of male favorites in her harem. This is really the so-called harem of three thousand beauties! Since ancient times, women are often fickle, and this saying really applies."

Si Ning couldn't help but feel a little strange when listening to these words. These words seemed familiar, but when he thought about it carefully, weren't they used to describe men? He didn't expect that now that he came to this world where women are superior, these words were used by men to describe women.

There is a hot spring in the back mountain of the demon clan. Si Ning felt exhausted and wanted to take a dip in the hot spring to relax. Just as she was about to enjoy the hot spring, she suddenly heard a voice.

"You all wait for me here. No one is allowed to come in without my order." The person who spoke was Linghu Wen.

"Yes, Master." The subordinates answered in unison.

At this time, Si Ning quickly hid behind the rockery, thinking to himself: "This is the young leader, why would he come to bathe alone in the middle of the night without telling anyone? According to common sense, there should be a few maids serving him."

Si Ning stared at him as he took off his clothes, his face full of curiosity and surprise. His skin was white and smooth, as delicate as a newborn baby's. Si Ning couldn't help but screamed: "Wow!"

"Who?" A cold light came along with a deep voice.

Si Ning dodged swiftly and quickly jumped out of his hiding place, raised his hands and shouted, "It's me, don't do it!"

Linghu Wen's face instantly turned red, and he shouted in shame and anger: "You...what are you doing?"

Si Ning scratched his head awkwardly and explained, "I'm sorry, I really didn't see anything. I just wanted to come here to soak in the hot springs, and I didn't expect you to be here too."

"Shut up! If you dare to look around again, I'll dig your eyes out!" Linghu Wen was furious, with obvious anger in his voice.

Si Ning waved his hands and said anxiously, "Calm down and listen to my explanation, okay? I just said that I just wanted to take a bath in the hot spring and I definitely didn't mean to peek. I heard someone coming and I panicked and hid. I didn't want to see you at all."

"Then why are you staring at me?" Linghu Wen was so angry that he was shaking all over and wanted to rush up to her and teach her a lesson.

"Okay, okay, I won't watch it anymore. I'll leave right away." Seeing that the situation was not good, Si Ning quickly turned around and left.

After Si Ning finished speaking, she turned around to leave, but at this moment, Linghu Wen suddenly reached out and pulled her into the hot spring.

"Hey, who told you to leave? Come back! Do you want to escape?" Linghu Wen shouted loudly.

Si Ning was caught off guard, lost his balance, and fell directly into the water, shouting in fear: "Help... cough cough... help!"

Seeing this, Linghu Wen quickly cast a spell and pulled Si Ning out of the water. He frowned and blamed her: "What a stupid woman, don't you know how to swim?"

"You pulled me down from above and I couldn't even stand steadily. What does this have to do with whether I can swim or not?" Si Ning retorted angrily.

"You have so many excuses. Since we're here, let's take a hot spring bath together." Linghu Wen no longer paid attention to Si Ning and leisurely enjoyed the hot spring.

Si Ning was immediately caught in a dilemma. She felt awkward staying in the water, but it was inappropriate to return to the shore. In desperation, she had to find a spot not far away and start soaking in the hot spring.

Time passed quietly, and after an unknown amount of time, Si Ning and Linghu Wen came out of the hot spring together. At this time, Linghu Wen's men saw Si Ning, who was wet and had messy hair, and they were all stunned and couldn't close their mouths.

Linghu Wen looked back at Si Ning, and then said to the maid next to him: "Prepare the wedding ceremony. I will marry Ru Meng in three days."

At this time, Si Ning began to be surprised, thinking, what does this man mean? Didn't I just look at his body? Why did he ask me to marry him?

"Isn't this too fast?" Si Ning asked in surprise.

Linghu Wen suddenly turned around and looked at Si Ning in front of him coldly. The coldness in his eyes made Si Ning feel cold sweat on his back.

"What do you mean?" Linghu Wen asked coldly.

Si Ning was a little flustered, but still answered bravely: "No... I just think it's too sudden. We just met not long ago, and didn't you say you would wait for me to marry you voluntarily?"

Linghu Wen sneered: "Humph! The situation is different now. You have seen my body. According to the rules of the demon world, you must marry me."

Si Ning widened her eyes: "What? There is such a rule?" She couldn't believe her ears.

Linghu Wen explained expressionlessly, "Once a woman sees a man bathing, she must marry him no matter what. You are from the human race, don't you even know this rule? Although this is the demon world, the rules are the same as those of the human race."

Si Ning almost fainted when he heard this. What kind of weird rule is this? If a woman sees a man bathing, she must marry him. Who made this weird rule?

Suddenly, Si Ning remembered that he had seen Yuan Qi taking a bath before. No wonder Yuan Qi had such an expression that day. It turned out that the people in the demon world took such things so seriously.

"We have to choose a good day, even if we are ordinary people or royal family, it depends on the date whether it is a man marrying a woman or a woman marrying a man." Si Ning complained in her heart. She originally thought that she could delay it for a while, but she didn't expect Linghu Wen to be so determined and even set a date directly.

She secretly thought about how to deal with this situation, hoping to find some way to delay or avoid this marriage. After all, she was just here to complete the mission and didn't really want to become Linghu Wen's wife.
