Chapter 3738: A New Addition (354)
Since it was a joyous occasion, they had expected that Gu Jinglian would not blow his top on this special day. Hence, they tortured him boldly.
There was a long corridor leading to the boudoir. It was now covered with acupressure boards.
“What’s this?”
The groomsman squatted on the ground and touched it with his hand. It did not feel anything out of the ordinary. However if he were to remove his shoes and walk on these boards with his bare feet, the sensation would be indescribable!
“How do we play this game?”
The bridesmaid said, “The best man will have to remove his shoes and carry the groom over these boards.”
Gu Jinglian was speechless.
The groomsmen and brothers fell silent.
This was insane!
“If you do not pass this checkpoint, you cannot enter this gate.” The bridesmaids said firmly.
The team of brothers did not speak but exchanged glances with the groomsmen. They had no choice but to take off their shoes. They stepped on the acupressure boards and tested them. It was itchy and painful. They shivered and immediately retracted their feet.
“I’d rather step on the edge of a knife than on this thing!”
“Exactly. They make the soles of my feet itchy and painful.”
The bridesmaids smiled and said, “No!”
Gu Jinglian’s expression turned icy as he barked, “Hurry up!”
Since the great demon lord had spoken, the men did not dare delay things any further. They removed their shoes and lifted Gu Jinglian. Two of them held onto his arms while the other two carried his long legs. The four of them formed a human sedan chair and lifted Gu Jinglian over the acupressure boards.
The men cried out in pain.
There were all kinds of screams.
“Sister-in-law, please spare me!”
“Sister-in-law, it hurts! Come out and help us!”
“Sister-in-Law, please have mercy! We came here sincerely to receive the bride!”
The group of people wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves, but there was no reaction from inside the door. It seemed that Chu He was determined to ignore them.
The brothers had no choice but to grit their teeth and close their eyes. They endured the excruciating pain on the soles of their feet and carried Gu Jinglian to the door. All up, it took several minutes to walk a few meters on the acupressure boards.
The brothers team put Gu Jinglian down.
The groomsmen also took off their shoes and walked over the acupressure boards. They knocked on the door and said obsequiously, “Sister-in-law, we’re here! Open the door!”
Behind the door, the sisters and bridesmaids resisted and did not allow the men to enter. Gu Jinglian turned the doorknob and found that the door was locked on the inside. It seemed like things were not going to get any easier.
The groomsmen were astute and immediately stuffed more red packets under the door. However, while the bridesmaids enthusiastically took the red packets, they refused to open the door.
“Open the door. We’ve given you so many red packets, why aren’t you letting us in?”
“Exactly, our groom is getting anxious! There’s not much time left before the auspicious hour is over!”
“Groom, do you see the ribbon under the door?”
Gu Jinglian looked down upon hearing this. Indeed, there were a few red ribbons under the door.
“I see them.”
“One of the ribbons is tied to the bride’s wrist. If you can pick the ribbon tied to the bride’s wrist, you may enter!”
Gu Jinglian squatted down and counted. There were a total of ten red ribbons, but only one of them was linked to Chu He’s wrist. It seemed like it would be difficult to pick that one.
The groomsmen also became nervous.
One of the groomsmen was just about to reach for a ribbon when the bridesmaid inside said, “If you’re wrong, you’ll be punished with a hundred push-ups.”
