Liu Sanniang salivated at the thought and quickly put everything else on the back burner. She followed him to the kitchen.
To her, a weasel, the greatest temptation was eggs and chicken.
She could not resist this kind of food that she was born to like.
On the day of the wedding.
The courtyard was very lively. Liu Sanniang saw many strangers and a few women helped her dress up. Liu Sanniang felt quite uncomfortable. The more she looked at these women, the more they looked like men to her.
She held the comb and smiled awkwardly. “I can do it myself. Thank you.”
However, these women did not seem to hear her. They looked at her with envy and said sourly, “Your skin is really good. I didn’t expect that little brat to be so lucky to marry such a beautiful girl.”
Another woman nudged her with her arm. “Everyone has their own fate. Stop talking.”
“Look at her figure. She’s really gorgeous. She has everything a woman wants…”
Liu Sanniang found it strange to hear these praises coming out of these women. No matter how she looked at them, they were men.
Fortunately, it didn’t take long for her to dress up. She could finally put on the red veil and go out.
After being brought out, Liu Sanniang could vaguely see Chu Yan through the red veil, who was wearing wedding clothes. He was dressed very simply and his hair was tied up with a red cloth. He was also looking at her with a gentle smile. Liu Sanniang felt that she was infatuated.
She walked over to him step by step.
The ritual was to pray to heaven and earth before entering the bridal room.
Liu Sanniang sat on the edge of the bed, unable to calm down.
She was finally married to such a gentleman.
In the future, her life would be ordinary, but when she thought about the ordinary life, she felt very happy.
The laughter outside gradually died down, and the sky darkened slowly.
When the door opened, Liu Sanniang immediately sat up. A tall figure walked in and closed the door. Liu Sanniang knew that he was standing in front of her.
Lifting the red veil, Chu Yan held two glasses of wine in his hand. “Come, drink this glass of wine. We’ll be husband and wife for the rest of our lives and nothing can separate us.”
Liu Sanniang took it and nodded.
After drinking the wine, Liu Sanniang was at a loss. The bed sank a little as Chu Yan sat down next to her, pulling her into his arms. Liu Sanniang closed her eyes and couldn’t help but tremble.
Chu Yan’s eyes were deep and oppressive. He slowly leaned over and kissed Liu Sanniang’s forehead. “Sanniang, wake up.”
They couldn’t stay in this illusion forever. The momentary joy would only make Chu Yan less and less satisfied. Therefore, it was time to end it.
Suddenly, Liu Sanniang opened her eyes wide. The chaos in her mind instantly dissipated, and her mind became clear.
She looked at Chu Yan beside her and was stunned. “Chu… Chu Yan?”
In the darkness, Chu Yan’s eyes were like a wolf’s, extremely dangerous. He replied calmly. “Yes, it’s me.”
Liu Sanniang felt like she had been struck by lightning. She looked at her red clothes and then looked around before saying with difficulty. “Where are we?”
Wait a minute, she felt a little dizzy. She remembered some memories and her face turned red.
She did not expect that she would be in the illusion of Huanghu Village 20 years ago, and she would become Huang Xianxian, while Chu Yan would become Huang Lang’er.
Liu Sanniang wished she could bury herself six feet under right then, when she thought of how she enjoyed Chu Yan’s cooking and even ran down the mountain to marry him!
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang’s confused look and said in a low voice, “Just treat it as a rehearsal of our real marriage, okay?”
Liu Sanniang quickly got off the bed and walked out. As she walked, she said, “If we have an identity in Huanghu Village, what about the others? Are they also in this illusion?”
Chu Yan stood up and followed behind Liu Sanniang. He said without hesitation, “I don’t know. I just woke up too.”
Liu Sanniang blushed. If he didn’t wake up in time, what would happen?
She heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing too outrageous happened.
It was night time and the villagers were starting to go to bed. There was no one outside.
Liu Sanniang looked at the courtyard. The small courtyard was neat and tidy. Many things were made of bamboo and were exquisite. At the thought of having lived with Chu Yan in this courtyard for two months, Liu Sanniang found it difficult to calm down.
Chu Yan looked at Liu Sanniang and smiled.
Seeing that Liu Sanniang wanted to go out, he walked over and held her hand. He did not allow her to break free and said, “It’s night now. There might be danger. We’ll go out tomorrow morning.”
Liu Sanniang could not break free and was a little annoyed. She lowered her voice and suppressed her anger. “Let go.”
Chu Yan squeezed Liu Sanniang’s hand and then left it.
He said in a horse voice mixed with joy, “Go back to your room and sleep. I’ll be in the next room.”
Liu Sanniang’s heart raced. She ran back to the room and closed the door. She took a few deep breaths to stop herself from screaming.
She did not expect Wu Ju to be so powerful as to create an illusion for everyone. In the illusion, everyone had an identity and could experience what had happened in the past.
She had been living as Huang Xianxian for two months without realizing it.
As for the others, they were also playing various roles. Liu Sanniang recalled that the ‘women’ she had interacted with during this period of time were not real women at all. They were clearly government officers and constables. Their appearance had not changed, but their identities had.
In this illusion, they would only be recognized by the role they played. As for murderers and people who were killed in the previous four murder cases, they were all present as well.
Liu Sanniang did not feel sleepy the entire night. When dawn finally came, she immediately got up. As soon as she opened the door and went out, she saw an unfamiliar man coming out of the kitchen. He looked at Liu Sanniang in shock and rubbed his eyes. After confirming that Liu Sanniang was human, the man said, “You, who are you? Why are you in my house?”
