Chapter 3: A Festive Wedding Celebration (R18+)
Heroic Chivalry: The Green Legend – Chapter Three
The courtyard of the Qiushui Sword Sect was especially lively today. Not only was it decorated with lanterns and streamers, but many people had come, because tomorrow was an auspicious day just right for the disciples’ wedding. The guests were all friendly residents of Qiushui City, who, upon hearing that the youngest disciple of the Qiushui Sword Sect was marrying his two beautiful senior sisters, came on their own accord to help prepare the new rooms and courtyard. The couple had originally planned a low-key wedding, but could not refuse the enthusiasm of the townsfolk. Several well-known hotels in the city even provided food and drink for free, making Sister Yuyan feel a bit embarrassed.
Though the residents who came were of much lower status and skill than Sister Yuyan, she treated everyone kindly and without airs, chatting and mingling with them. Everyone who spoke with her looked flattered and delighted. Watching Sister Yuyan speak warmly yet seriously with the people, a gentle warmth rose in my heart. I realized I had developed feelings for this beautiful, kind, mature, and gentle woman. Although my feelings were not as intense or unwavering as those for my wife, they flowed quietly into my heart like a gentle stream.
Seeing how beloved Sister Yuyan was among the people, I couldn’t help but think of the reputation of Heroic Chivalry Manor. In Hangzhou, people only feared the manor, not respected it, because we had never done much good for the locals. When my father led the manor, most of his energy went into fighting the demonic sect, leaving little time for management, which allowed many to use the manor’s name to bully others. When I took over, having lost my martial skills, I didn’t dare go out much, so our leadership was even weaker. Heroic Chivalry Manor has dozens of branch estates across the land, and I’m sure some have done evil in our name. When I return, I must reorganize the manor and strive to make it as beloved as the Qiushui Sword Sect.
After Sister Yuyan accepted some more gifts and sent off the enthusiastic townsfolk, she finally had a moment to rest and sat down with a smile. I immediately went to her side and gently massaged her shoulders, saying, "Wife, don’t tire yourself out. Your wounds have just healed; now is the time to rest."
"I know, but with everyone so enthusiastic, how could I rest?" she replied with a smile.
Her smile took my breath away, and I couldn’t help but say, "Wife... you look so beautiful when you smile."
She blushed at my compliment and replied, "You’re so annoying!" She turned her head, and as she did, a flash of guilt crossed her face. Then she softly said, "Brother Hao..."
"Call me husband!" I said, dissatisfied.
After hesitating, she softly said, "Husband, I... it’s enough for me to be your concubine. After all, I..."
"Absolutely not! I will never let you suffer any grievance or let anyone think I don’t value you. When we return, I’ll pick an auspicious day and marry you properly."
