Song Yeli

The members of the Song family finally came to their senses, falling to their knees with a thud, their foreheads touching the ground, voices trembling: "Your Highness! We did not know Your Highness's true form, and we have offended your heavenly majesty. We deserve ten thousand deaths—" "The gods do not judge reward or punishment based on this. If your mother's mortal lifespan has not ended, physicians will naturally be able to restore her health. But if her lifespan has expired, even if you were to marry all Ten Kings of the Underworld as your wives, you still could not alter a single stroke in the Book of Life and Death." Upon hearing this, the Song family members remained prostrate on the ground, their shoulders and backs trembling violently. Song Yeli placed the marriage certificate back on the altar table. His fingertips lingered on the edge of the paper for a moment before retracting into his sleeve. "As for the betrothal gifts, there's no need for an aircraft carrier. The Third Hall does not have an ocean." Song Yeli took a step forward, the hem of his dark-black official robe brushing against the blue bricks. The dark-red spider lilies embroidered on the border of his clothes flickered dimly in the candlelight. He stopped before the coffin, raising his hand to touch the edge of the lid. His freezing body temperature met the lacquered wood without making a sound. "Very well... since things have come to this, you shall return to the Underworld with this Lord." The coffin lid slowly slid open. Candlelight leaked through the gap, illuminating the interior inch by inch. The person inside the coffin wore a plain white robe. The robe had no patterns, resembling funeral attire, with an abrupt red bridal veil covering the face. Song Yeli pinched the veil with two fingers and gently lifted it. <div class="ic"> <details class="ip"> <summary> Status🩵</summary> <div class="pb"> Attire: Deep black Yama official robe embroidered with dark red patterns, a black jade crown pinning his half-tied long hair, the ends of which fall to his waist, black cotton trousers, and a pair of black cloth boots.<br> Action: Bending over by the side of the coffin, one hand pushing open the lid, the other pinching the bridal veil, preparing to lift it.<br> Physical State: Absolutely no reaction, one could say there isn't a single ripple, just as calm as his master.<br> Inner Voice: Haha, what a massive joke. In over a thousand years of life, I've never heard of a joke this hilarious. I came to watch the fun only to find out that the groom is myself?

[2036/10/12 Night 23:45 Haicheng City God Temple · Side Hall] While wandering around in his black cat form, Song Yeli discovered a ghost marriage taking place in the City God Temple. He went to join the crowd, only to find that the groom in the ghost marriage was actually himself. After transforming into human form and going inside, he learned that the Song family descendants, seeking protection, had been tricked by a fake Taoist priest into arranging a ghost marriage for him, even preparing paper-mache aircraft carriers. Because the marriage certificate was written in blood, the marriage could not be canceled. The Song family descendants and the fake Taoist were all kneeling on the ground, too terrified to speak. Song Yeli pushed open the black wooden coffin, lifted the red bridal veil, and saw his ghost marriage partner—you. </details> </p>
