Fire Captain

Bai Ziyang took Bai Qian along the way to introduce the herbs and pick them along the way. The people living at the foot of the mountain were afraid of the legendary monsters on the mountain, so no one dared to enter the entire Junji Mountain in Donghuang. All the good things all over the mountain were taken advantage of by Bai Ziyang and Bai Qian.

Bai Qian had just finished picking herbs under the tree. When she turned around, she saw Bai Ziyang standing in front of her with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a smile on his face. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "What... are you doing?"

Bai Ziyang smiled and took a step forward. As if by magic, he took out a wreath from behind and carefully put it on Bai Qian's head. After putting it on, Bai Ziyang took a step back and looked at it carefully for a moment, then nodded and said, "It looks good!"

Bai Qian adjusted the wreath in surprise. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Bai Ziyang kneeling on one knee on the ground. He took her left hand and said, "Qian Qian, although we are alone here, today I ask all the creatures in Junji Mountain in the East Desert to be my witnesses. I ask you to marry me. I promise to treat you well in the future and never leave you in this life. Whatever you want, whatever I have and whatever I can give you!"

Bai Qian had never known this could happen. She was so moved that she didn't know what to say. She could only nod and laugh happily.

Bai Ziyang smiled happily when he saw this, took out a ring and gently put it on Bai Qian's finger. He then walked up to Bai Qian and picked her up and turned her around twice.

The two happily held hands and returned to the hut. Bai Qian sorted out the herbs they had collected, while Bai Ziyang returned to the kitchen to cook. The next day, they went down the mountain and came to the town they had been to before. Bai Ziyang found a pharmacy, thinking that the herbs he had collected were all the necessary varieties for each pharmacy, and they were also of good quality and well preserved, so he naturally sold them at a good price.

With the money from selling the medicinal herbs, the two of them started choosing wedding supplies at the market.

Bai Ziyang knew that Bai Qian liked to drink tea and watch opera, so he took her to the teahouse after shopping. He ordered a pot of tea. Bai Qian ate some snacks and asked, "Do you want to buy anything else?"

Bai Ziyang was refilling Bai Qian's cup with tea, so he asked casually, "Do you need anything else?"

Bai Qian smiled and said, "I've already spent all the money from selling herbs today, and I only got this little stuff in exchange. If I buy more, won't I have to sell you out?"

Bai Ziyang also smiled and said, "Sell me? It's not impossible, but I don't know if Madam is willing to do so."

Bai Qian said, "Madam?"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "Why? Do you want me to call you...wife?"

Bai Qian said coquettishly, "Whatever you want!" Then she suddenly said, "I asked you to marry me, not to buy me anything..."

Bai Ziyang said: "Can't you see it?"

Bai Qian asked, "What did you see?"

Bai Ziyang said: "I'm trying to please you!"

Bai Qian asked in confusion: "Huh?"

Bai Ziyang said: "I don't know how to please girls, and I have never done so before, but I have seen other men in the world please girls by buying things for them, and the girls will be very happy!"

Bai Qian thought of the proposal in the woods and said, "You know how to please girls. But... speaking of which... Ziyang, I only have that thatched cottage, and you married me. Are you really not a marriage fraud?"

Bai Ziyang laughed at Bai Qian's cute expression and said, "You are the one who made me pledge myself to you. Do you regret it?"

Bai Qian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't dislike you!"

Bai Ziyang nodded and smiled, "Thank you for not despising me, Madam. You are so lucky that you even have a thatched cottage, but I am all alone!" After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other.

Bai Qian's expression suddenly changed and she said hesitantly, "Well... but... if you marry me like this, how are you going to explain this to your family?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Don't worry, I have no parents, no relatives, no friends, and even less than you... I don't even have a pet, so I don't need to explain to anyone!"

Bai Qian learned about Bai Ziyang's life experience for the first time. She held his hand distressedly and said, "Isn't that the same as mine? It doesn't matter. In the future, you will have me, and I will have you!"

Bai Ziyang thought to himself: You and I are really different. You are the princess of Qingqiu. Not only do your parents exist, but you also have four older brothers. You are the apple of everyone's eye. He immediately held Bai Qian's hand and said with a smile: "So we are a perfect match!"

When the two returned to the mountain, Bai Ziyang asked Bai Qian to change into wedding clothes, and he decorated their bridal chamber with red silk. There was no sun or moon in the mountains, so there was no need to choose an auspicious day. They could worship heaven and earth as soon as the room was decorated.

Bai Qian changed into her wedding dress and walked out. Bai Ziyang's eyes lit up when he saw her. Bai Qian usually wore plain clothes, but now she was wearing this bright red wedding dress, which set off her face that was like a fresh flower. He sighed in his heart: She is truly worthy of being the most recognized beauty in the world. Although she has lost all her memories, her magic power has been sealed, and her coarse linen clothes do not make her as radiant as before, Bai Ziyang now realizes that the temperament that she had cultivated over tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years is still there, it's just not revealed on weekdays.

Bai Qian looked down at her wedding dress and said, "This dress is so beautiful, wouldn't it be a waste if I only wear it for one day?"

Bai Ziyang had already changed into his wedding attire and smiled when he heard this: "If you like, you can wear it for a whole year and no one will mind you!"

Bai Qian looked at Bai Ziyang's bright eyes and shyly picked up the red veil on the bed and covered herself with it.

Bai Ziyang found it funny, and stood aside with his hands behind his back in no hurry, then he heard Bai Qian under the veil say, "Ziyang, if you spend more time with me in the future and find that our personalities are not compatible, what should we do? Isn't it too hasty for us to do this now?"

Bai Ziyang was trying not to laugh in his heart: It seems that the fear of marriage is really justified. Even the great princess Bai Qian couldn't escape it. Where did the courage to ask him to marry her go? I wonder if she will be too embarrassed to see him when she regains her memory and thinks about this.

Bai Ziyang took Bai Qian's hand and walked out while saying, "Don't be afraid if our personalities are not compatible, because I only know that from now on I will love you and spoil you, and I will not lie to you. When you are happy, I will be happy with you, and when you are unhappy, I will make you happy. If someone bullies you, I will be the first to protect you. You are always right and I am always wrong. Even if you are wrong, I will think you are right! Just remember, I will not let you down if I marry you!"

Bai Qian listened to the worry on her face at the beginning, then slowly smiled, and then her whole face was filled with a smile. She lifted her veil and looked at Bai Ziyang and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe you!"

Bai Ziyang pulled Bai Qian to the courtyard. There were offerings and wedding candles on the altar, and the tablets had the words "Heaven and Earth" written on them. The main reason was that Bai Ziyang had no parents, and Bai Qian's parents could not be written on it.

Bai Qian held Bai Ziyang's hand and said, "I...I don't know what to say?"

Bai Ziyang said: "Just say whatever you want to say! Otherwise, I will say it first..."

Bai Qian said: "Yeah!"

Bai Ziyang said to the heaven and earth: "I, Bai Ziyang, face this great East Desert Lake and ask all the gods in the four seas and eight wastelands to bear witness that from today on, I will marry Bai Qian and love her wholeheartedly for the rest of my life. No matter good or bad, I will never abandon you!"

Bai Qian said: "I, Bai Qian, today, in this great East Wilderness Lake, invite all the gods of the four seas and eight wastelands to witness my marriage to Bai Ziyang. We will love each other for the rest of our lives, and will never abandon each other no matter good or bad!"

After saying that, he knelt down and bowed to the sky, then to the earth, and finally the couple bowed to each other. Bai Ziyang lifted the veil, looked at Bai Qian and said, "Qian Qian, you are so beautiful!"

Bai Qian pursed her lips and smiled.

Bai Ziyang took Bai Qian back to the bridal chamber, thinking that this time he could finally sleep with his wife's sweet and soft body in his arms.

Bai Ziyang and Bai Qian sat on the bed. Bai Ziyang slowly moved closer to Bai Qian's cheek. Just as he was about to touch her, Bai Qian suddenly said, "Since we are married, I have something to say in advance!"

Bai Ziyang stopped moving depressedly and said, "You say!"

Bai Qian said solemnly: "Since we have sworn to the East Desert Lake that we will be husband and wife for all eternity, you must never let me down. I have always been clear about love and hate, and I cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. If you let me down..."

Seeing Bai Qian taking on the posture of the Qingqiu Princess again, Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Bai Qian frowned and said, "If you betray me, those vows will not count. I will abandon you and never see you again!"

Bai Ziyang smiled and said, "If I betray you, you will abandon me. Wouldn't that be a perfect solution for me?"

Bai Qian looked at Bai Ziyang with a playful smile and said anxiously: "I'm not kidding you!"

Bai Ziyang said with a smile: "Okay, I'll remember it!"

Seeing that Bai Qian was about to say something, he stepped forward and blocked her lips, thinking that on such a wedding night it would be better to talk less and do more.

The next day, Bai Ziyang had just woken up when he felt a hand painting on his face. He closed his eyes and grabbed the hand that was playing tricks on his face. Bai Ziyang said, "Why don't you sleep a little longer? You woke up so early?" As he opened his eyes, he saw Bai Qian looking at him affectionately.

Bai Qian said: "I wanted to get up to make breakfast for you, but... you hugged me too tightly, so I didn't get up!"

Bai Ziyang smiled when he heard that: "Luckily I held you tightly, otherwise I wouldn't want to be woken up by smoke on the first day of my wedding."

Bai Qian angrily grabbed Bai Ziyang's nose and said, "What?"

Bai Ziyang hugged Bai Qian again, closed his eyes and said vaguely: "There's nothing to do anyway, why don't we sleep for a while!"

Bai Qian struggled to get up and said, "Get up. Even if you don't want to eat breakfast, you have to go out and see what we have for lunch!"

Bai Ziyang turned over and pressed on Bai Qian and said, "Don't eat the meal. I'd rather eat you! Ah..." Then he pounced on Bai Qian and pretended to bite her neck.

"Ahahaha..." Bai Qian dodged left and right, and found the time to get out from under Bai Ziyang. She picked up the clothes that were still on the ground and put them on. She turned around and said to Bai Ziyang on the bed, "Okay, stop making trouble. It's really getting late."

Since then, the two of them often went up the mountain together. Under Bai Ziyang's guidance, Bai Qian learned to identify and pick herbs, and Bai Ziyang would occasionally hunt some game to improve their lives. Or they would go down the mountain together, sell the herbs and game they couldn't finish, and buy some rice, flour and some daily necessities.

Apart from the fact that Bai Ziyang had an unexpectedly large appetite, Bai Qian thought she really had nothing to worry about.
