Chapter 577: Nightly the Bridegroom

"Aunties, stop arguing. Let the village chief decide who goes first. Isn’t the Enlightenment supposed to be the night before the wedding? Your daughters are all getting married tomorrow?"

Yang Cheng said, looking speechless, wondering what the fuss was about.

As soon as he spoke, everyone quieted down. Even if they were eager to get married, it couldn’t happen tomorrow.

A woman’s marriage is a major event, so preparations should be made in advance to avoid being looked down upon by the husband’s family.

"Little Divine Doctor, I heard from the village chief that you’ll be the Enlightenment Master for half a month. All the eligible girls in the village will definitely be getting married during these days. You’ll be the groom every night; your body won’t be able to handle it, so I have some deer blood wine to give you."

"I have antler velvet and some aphrodisiac herbs. I’ll give them all to you. When my daughter is enlightened, you should eat some more."

A few aunties gathered around, offering tonics to him, hoping he would perform well when their daughters’ turn came for enlightenment.

Listening to their conversation, Yang Cheng gradually understood. Yun Chan said yesterday that during the Enlightenment, it should be at least twice a night. In fact, it’s because the villagers believe that the longer it lasts, the more times it’s done, the more evil spirits inside the bride can be absorbed.

Moreover, if the Enlightenment Master can’t get enough, having more times also proves the bride is delightful, which makes the groom feel proud and ensures that married life won’t lack joy.

Yang Cheng was dumbfounded, surprised at how this seemingly conservative village was actually more open than outside, with such bizarre requirements.

"Stop arguing, with Little Divine Doctor’s stamina, three or four times a night shouldn’t be a problem. Don’t you worry your daughters will be overwhelmed with all the deer blood wine and tonics you sent over!"

One auntie with small eyes shouted, causing a round of laughter.

"My daughter won’t be marrying until about ten days later. By then, Little Divine Doctor might be spent from being a groom every day; where will he have the strength?"

For the first time being teased by so many people, Yang Cheng blushed.

He was thinking of finding an excuse to leave when the small-eyed auntie said proudly, "My daughter doesn’t need to worry about that. She’s getting married the day after tomorrow, just in time for enlightenment tomorrow, so she can be first."

As she spoke, she smiled warmly at Yang Cheng. "Little Divine Doctor, you’ve seen my daughter yesterday. She’s young and hopes you’ll take good care of her."

Yang Cheng found this auntie familiar, remembering she was the one trying to marry her daughter to Yue Feng yesterday; her daughter looked about eighteen or nineteen but was well-developed, with flirtatious eyes, indeed very enticing.

He casually asked, "Is your daughter marrying Yue Feng?"

"Exactly! I went to Yue Feng yesterday to propose, and after he met my Chunxing, he agreed. Anyway, he has no parents, and the wedding dress for my daughter is already embroidered, so we might as well get the marriage done early to avoid unforeseen troubles."

The auntie spoke, glaring at a nearby chubby auntie, like a triumphant rooster, full of pride.

Yesterday, Yue Feng’s face healed, and everyone thought he looked handsome. Many families came to propose, and ultimately he agreed with Nanny Chunxing, making many envious and sour.

"Isn’t it just about getting a good son-in-law; what’s there to boast about? Our girl isn’t bad either; she’s sure to find an even better match. I think Da Shan is a good choice!"

"I’ve heard that Da Shan likes Yue Ying! Would he even notice your daughter?"

"What do you mean by that? My daughter isn’t lacking in anything. Marrying her would be fortune from a previous life!"

The aunties began to chatter and argue.

Yang Cheng was getting a headache from the noise, so he went inside to change into some clothes and prepared to head up the mountain with a basket.

As he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard a shout from behind, "Little Divine Doctor!"

Turning, he saw Yue Ying running over, clutching her chest, her face somewhat pale.

"Walk slowly, don’t rush. Your body has just recovered; no strenuous exercise,"

Yang Cheng quickly cautioned her and hurried to meet her.

"No more running. Even though your injuries have healed, you still need to recover gradually."

He gently reminded her, "Were you looking for me for something?"

Yue Ying’s cheeks were slightly red as she worriedly whispered, "Is it true that you’ll be the Enlightenment Master?"

"Yes, I promised the village chief that I’d stay in the village as the Enlightenment Master for half a month."

Yang Cheng nodded, surprised that the news decided last night spread through the village so quickly.

After brief silence, Yue Ying took two steps forward, grasping Yang Cheng’s hand, and spoke tenderly, "I’ve thought it through. I know I’m just a village girl, unworthy of you. There’s no way to leave Hidden Cloud Village. It’s better to marry soon; at least I can spend a night with you."

"Marriage is no trivial matter. You can’t just marry off recklessly."

Yang Cheng frowned slightly, feeling disheartened at her stubbornness.

"Didn’t you say that Da Shan is good? I’ll marry Da Shan. I knew he liked me before, and my brother wanted to marry me to him. But Da Shan’s parents are sick, and my brother feared I’d suffer by marrying him."

"Besides, my brother died because of Da Shan. He feels guilty towards me, and wouldn’t treat me badly. Since I must marry eventually, I might as well marry him."

Upon learning Yang Cheng would be the Enlightenment Master, Yue Ying thought a lot, ultimately deciding to marry early.

Though she couldn’t marry Yang Cheng, being his bride for one night fulfilled her girlhood dream.

Hearing her words, Yang Cheng felt even more pain for her. He held Yue Ying’s hand and walked up the mountain.

It was still early, with no villagers up the mountain yet, so no one noticed them.

Yue Ying didn’t know what he planned to do, just being led along.

Once they were hidden among the trees, Yang Cheng stopped and pressed Yue Ying against a tree trunk, lowering his head to kiss her.

"Mmm..."

The girl moaned shyly, without any resistance, she wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to meet his passionate kiss.

Their lips and teeth entwined, creating ambiguous wet sounds, until Yue Ying felt she might suffocate, and the kiss finally ended.

"Huff huff!"

She panted heavily, her pretty face flushed, looking shyly but deeply at Yang Cheng.

"Yue Ying, I’m not rejecting you because I don’t like you, but I thought if I took your purity, you wouldn’t be able to marry."

Yang Cheng also panted, his eyes filled with desire.

"Brother, I don’t mind. Ever since you saved me that day, I’ve decided on you. Though I can’t leave Hidden Cloud Village, spending a few days as husband and wife with you satisfies me."

Yue Ying’s voice choked, as she embraced Yang Cheng tightly.

After comforting her for a while, his heated hand slid inside her clothes, caressing her slender waist, gently kneading her soft chest.
