After being moved by this night, Raj originally thought he could complete the home run, but he underestimated the chastity views of ancient women. In the end, he was still driven out of Duan's boudoir… Of course, Raj didn't do nothing. He took all the advantages he could, and basically broke through everything except the last step…
When he left Duan's boudoir, Duan had already collapsed on the embroidered couch, unable to resist. If Duan hadn't said that she wanted to save her body for him on their wedding night, Raj would have probably played with her into eighteen different poses.
In addition, Duan also said shyly that she would give him a surprise on their wedding night, which made Raj full of anticipation.
The ten days passed quickly in Raj's anticipation.
During this period, Red Queen also reported some things. All his arrangements were in place, waiting for his order to plunge the entire world into chaos.
This day—Biyun Mountain's Banana Cave was decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
Today, monsters from within a hundred miles came to congratulate Princess Duan on her wedding. There was no way around it, who made Princess Duan the overlord of this area? Princess Duan, holding the innate treasure Banana Fan, had it too easy against those little demons…
Soon, the serving girls acting as greeters had collected gifts from the little demons who came to offer congratulations.
The auspicious time had arrived—
Princess Duan, wearing a bright red wedding dress, walked into the hall led by her younger sister. Praises could be heard everywhere…
"Princess Duan is truly like a celestial being descending to earth today!" This was a monster with a screw loose. How could you see anything when she was wearing a veil?
"The groom looks so handsome and dashing, matching Princess Duan perfectly! I wish the Princess and the groom a hundred years of happiness!" This one had brains, knowing how to take a roundabout approach…
Raj was also standing in front of the altar in the hall, wearing the groom's clothes, waiting for Princess Duan, led by Tie Shan, to walk towards him.
"First bow to heaven and earth…"
"Second bow to the ancestors…"
"Husband and wife bow to each other…"
"Send them to the bridal chamber…"
Just as the officiant's voice had not yet faded, a muffled voice came over. "I don't agree…"
"Huh?" Raj turned his head to look, only to see a burly man with two horns on his head stride in, followed by several monsters who looked like lackeys…
Bull Demon King… Raj suddenly understood. This guy finally showed up.
"Does my sister's wedding need your ugly freak's consent?" Tie Shan stood up without hesitation, pointing at the ugly bull and saying, "What do you think you are?"
"Duan… Have you forgotten our vows of eternal love?" Bull Demon King said with a look of deep affection.
"Bah, who made vows of eternal love with you?" Princess Duan angrily lifted her veil, pointed at Bull Demon King, and cursed: "You ugly freak kept pestering me, when did I ever talk to you?"
Princess Duan quickly grabbed Raj's arm even tighter, almost clinging to him as if fearing he might believe the Bull Demon King's words. Her fingers trembled, and the anxiety in her eyes was so real that even the guests around them murmured in confusion.
Raj gently squeezed her hand in return, giving her a reassuring smile. "Sweetie, I trust you," he whispered. "No need to panic."
But Bull Demon King clearly took that tender moment as a provocation.
"Young man," the Bull Demon King snorted coldly, hooves stomping the stone floor as the hall trembled faintly. "Step aside. Duan is my woman. I have long declared that whoever wants to marry her must defeat me first!"
The guests gasped.
Tie Shan jumped forward, face flushed with anger. "You ugly cow! Even if you grew ten more horns, Sister will never look at you! Who do you think you are, barging in on someone else's wedding!?"
The Bull Demon King frowned deeply. "Little girl, this is not your place to speak. Duan and I—"
"Shut up!" Tie Shan grabbed a stool and threatened to throw it. "You delusional beast, Sister blows you away every time you appear! If she wanted you, would she be marrying my brother-in-law right now?"
Raj cleared his throat. "Actually… yes. Today's kind of a bad day to confess your feelings for my wife. Maybe try again never."
Bull Demon King's eyes suddenly sharpened. "You're the groom?"
"Unfortunately for you, yes," Raj said, stepping forward without fear.
Some demons in the crowd backed away, whispering. "Does the groom have a death wish…"
"That's the Bull Demon King—the big name who wrestled a mountain barehanded…"
"Princess Duan's new husband is handsome, but does he have any skills…?"
Princess Duan—Tie Fan—bit her lip nervously. "Young Master Raj, don't fight him. Bull Demon King is dangerous… Even with the Banana Fan, I usually only use it to blow him away, not fight him head-on…"
Raj leaned toward her ear, whispering softly, "Sweetie, weren't you the one saying I 'feel like someone born to trample the heavens'? Let your husband save some face."
Tie Fan's cheeks turned red, but her eyes were full of devotion and worry.
Tie Shan stood between Raj and the Bull Demon King, arms spread wide. "Don't hurt my brother-in-law! Only we can bully him!"
Raj flicked Tie Shan on the forehead. "Move. Your brother-in-law will handle this."
She pouted but stepped aside.
Bull Demon King cracked his knuckles. A fierce demonic aura surged out, making the lantern flames tremble. "Boy, if you can withstand ten of my punches, I'll allow the wedding to continue."
Raj raised a brow. "Ten? Even Hundeds are not enough."
The crowd went silent.
Bull Demon King sneered. "Arrogant!"
He stomped the ground and charged like a living battering ram, the power of a mountain behind his fist—
Princess Duan gasped. "Young Master Raj!"
Tie Shan screamed. "Brother-in-law!"
The punch struck Raj squarely in the chest.
A thunderous boom shook the entire cave.
Dust exploded outward. The crowd shrieked in terror.
Princess Duan covered her mouth, her eyes tearing up—
But the dust settled…
And Raj stood there. Not only standing—
He hadn't even been pushed back. His robe hadn't shifted a single inch.
Raj looked down at the Bull Demon King's fist. "Are you done warming up?"
Bull Demon King's eyes bulged. "Impossible…"
Raj smiled faintly. "Darling, I already told you. I was born different."
Tie Shan pumped her fist in delight. "Brother-in-law!! Crush him!"
Princess Duan's heart melted completely. Her wedding veil fluttered as she stared at Raj like he was her entire world.
Raj calmly drew two four-meter demon-slaying swords from his bracelet.
Bull Demon King mocked them.
Raj vanished in a sonic boom.
A moment later he reappeared beside Duan—holding a cyan demon core the size of a head.
"Sweetie, need this?"
Duan sensed it. "…This is a demon core. Wait—this aura—"
The Bull Demon King suddenly wobbled. Then—
Rain. Of meat.
The mighty bull was sliced into thousands of identical thin pieces, falling like macabre snow. Silence.
Then: "…Thousand cuts…" a demon whispered.
Duan hugged Raj tightly. "Husband, you're incredible!"
Tie Chui clung to his other arm. "Brother-in-law is the best!"
Raj declared the feast would continue—using millennium bull demon for hot pot.
The little demons hesitated until he said:
"His meat prolongs life."
Instant loyalty!
Tie Shan clapped wildly. "Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!"
Princess Duan rushed to Raj's side, hugging his arm tightly. "Young Master Raj… You really… protected me…"
Raj placed a hand on her waist. "I already told you… Anyone who wants to touch you must step over my dead body first."
Tie Fan blushed so hard her veil nearly caught fire.
The hall erupted in cheers.
"Princess Duan's husband is terrifying!"
"So handsome!"
"Perfect for the Princess!"
"They really match!"
Tie Shan proudly grabbed Raj's hand. "Sister, good choice! Brother-in-law is invincible!"
Princess Duan beamed, eyes shimmering. "Yes… He is my husband."
Raj smirked. "And tonight, my sweetie… you owe me that wedding-night surprise."
Tie Fan's face instantly turned as red as her wedding dress.
Tie Shan covered her eyes. "I didn't hear anything! I didn't hear anything!"
Back in the bridal chamber, Raj, Duan, and Tie Chui enjoyed a mild, broth-based hot pot.
Afterward, Duan shyly pulled out a jade booklet. "Husband… this is my master's orthodox dual-cultivation method… the Heartbond Eternal Spring Sutra."

📜 Heartbond Eternal Spring Sutra
"When two hearts entwine beneath the eternal spring, devotion flows unbroken, and loyalty blossoms without end."
A masterpiece of ancient dual cultivation, the Heartbond Eternal Spring Sutra is whispered about across realms as both a blessing and a peril. Unlike ordinary pair-cultivation techniques that simply exchange qi, this sutra weaves together spiritual, emotional, and karmic essence, creating a bond so deep that even reincarnation cannot erase it.
Legends claim it was created by a lonely immortal whose lovers abandoned him one by one as his lifespan grew too long. In his grief, he forged a technique that ensured no heart bound to him could ever leave again. Later generations refined it, softening the harsher edges, leaving behind a sutra that grants eternal devotion, emotional unity, and mutual ascension.
The sutra is a self-evolving art: the more it is practiced between the bonded pair, the more profound its effects become. Love becomes cultivation, and cultivation becomes love.
🌸 Core Attributes :
• Heartbond Seal
A subtle mark placed upon the partner's spiritual sea. It does not coerce the heart — it simply locks existing emotions, preventing betrayal, wavering loyalty, or emotional drift. Once sealed, the partner's affection becomes unshakable.
• Eternal Growth
Each session deepens emotional resonance, turning fleeting attraction into everlasting devotion. Negative emotions dissolve, replaced by warmth, trust, and longing.
• Self-Evolving Sutra
The sutra rewrites itself as the bonded pair grows stronger.New layers, harmonics, and insights unfold without study or guidance.It is said to be alive — a scripture that loves alongside its practitioners.
• Dual Nourishment
Both partners gain qi and spiritual refinement, but the practitioner becomes the anchor of the bond. Their emotional stability and cultivation base determine the strength of the Heartbond.
🌌 Stages of Mastery :
1. First Bloom
Affection awakens; loyalty takes root.
Sparks of warmth in the partner's heart Gentle synchronization of breathing and qi cycles Emotional instincts begin shifting toward the practitioner
2. Deepening Spring
Devotion strengthens; emotions intertwine.
Qi connections stabilize The partner's heart essence aligns Separation causes mild longing or discomfort Trust becomes instinctive, effortless3. Boundless Rain
Feelings evolve into eternal attachment.
Hearts beat in resonance Emotional and spiritual support flows automatically Mental barriers dissolve The partner develops a lifelong heart-dependence on the practitioner
4. Eternal Heartbond
The connection becomes unbreakable, persisting beyond time.
Shared karmic threads Reincarnation-sense: each can feel the other across lifetimes No external force can sever the bond Even death cannot erase devotion; the bond reforms when souls reawaken

Raj stared at the text. "Is… is this written by ancient chickens?"
Duan laughed softly. "You're uneducated yet you quote stories like a bard… You slay a Great Sage but can't read cuneiform. I truly don't understand you."
"Doesn't matter. You'll read it to me."
She guided his meridians with her delicate fingers. They reached the last page, where her master's warning was written: If the entrusted person is not virtuous, this technique will bring calamity. Use with caution.
Duan hesitated only a moment—then looked at Raj's sleeping eyes, his honesty, his recklessness, his devotion.
Her heart settled.
He was not a wicked man.
And she trusted him.
Raj, meanwhile, had already entered the technique's circulation with shocking ease, aided subtly by Red Queen in his mind.
He opened his eyes. "My dear wife, it's time to rest." Raj opened his eyes and saw Duan's worried face. Thinking she was concerned about him, he smiled and said, "With your husband's intelligent talent, I can master a small dual cultivation technique with ease, so there's no need to worry!"
