The Unmoving Bride

After a while, excited voices could be heard from outside the room. Leading the way was Xiaoxuan, followed by two men and a woman. Before Wu Xiaopei could get a good look at them, the woman in the middle rushed to the bedside, grabbed Wu Xiaopei’s hand, and tears flowed down. “Meng’er, your mother has waited for this day for sixteen years. The City God really didn’t deceive your mother; you’ve really spoken.” The woman said joyfully. “Mother!” Huh? Why did I just call her mother? Wu Xiaopei felt utterly baffled. Hearing Wu Xiaopei call her mother, the woman hugged her tightly in excitement. Although the embrace was almost suffocating, Wu Xiaopei did not resist; instead, she was filled with an indescribable feeling, instinctively knowing this woman was her mother and she was her child. Moments later, a cough was heard, “Cough, cough.” Wu Xiaopei looked in the direction of the sound and saw a very familiar look in someone’s eyes. She started to say “Niu” when the person winked at her, signaling her to calm down. Hearing Wu Xiaopei say “Niu,” the woman seemed to remember something, quickly let go of her, and turned to the person who coughed, “Master Niu, what should we do now?” “Madam,” the speaker bowed to her, “please give us a moment. After I cleanse the miss’s room once more, everything will be fine.” The woman nodded to him, then turned to Wu Xiaopei, “Meng’er, after Master Niu cleanses your room, your father and I will have a good chat with you.” To find out what was going on, Wu Xiaopei nodded and smiled at the woman, agreeing to her words. Once everyone had left the room, Wu Xiaopei burst into laughter. “Brother Niu Qi, when did you become so proper?” “Hmph, you think I want to?” Niu Qi replied with disdain. “Hehe, can’t you turn back?” Niu Qi, upon hearing Wu Xiaopei’s words, snapped his fingers, returning to his original bull-headed form, and walked into the inner hall, sitting at the small round table. “Wow! Brother Niu Qi, you’re still as majestic and divine as ever, truly the best envoy of the Bull-Headed Corps.” Wu Xiaopei flattered him. Flattered by her, the corners of Niu Qi’s mouth couldn’t help but lift slightly, but only for a brief moment because there was something more important to do. “Xiaopei, there’s something very important I need to tell you.” Niu Qi said very seriously. Seeing Niu Qi’s grave expression, Wu Xiaopei also remembered the questions she had earlier. “Oh! I have something to ask you too.” “Is your question why after I nudged you, you rolled into a pitch-black place, and upon opening your eyes, you saw antiques, and even ancient people appeared? And have you been reincarnated? If so, it’s very strange, isn’t it? Because Meng Po clearly told you you were still reincarnated in modern times, so how could you be in ancient times?”
