Li Jiyan didn’t want her to leave. He took a step forward and grasped the scabbard of the sword at her waist. Yu Ziyu had just come down from the mountain, and the fresh scent of grass and trees on her body made him feel refreshed.
”I didn’t say you couldn’t see it,” he said softly.
Yu Ziyu turned around and gave his hand a sharp look: “Don’t touch my knife. It was blessed by my ancestral master. Don’t touch it, or you’ll ruin my luck.”
Li Jiyan let go. He went to the battlefield to kill enemies when he was a teenager. He had killed countless people and his hands were covered in blood. He had never seen any vengeful ghost come to claim his life.
He really wanted to crack open Yu Ziyu’s skull to see what this person was thinking, that he would actually believe in such deceitful things.
Yu Ziyu rolled up her sleeves and wiped the scabbard hard, carefully cleaning the places Li Jiyan had touched before turning her gaze back to him: “Then why don’t you hurry up and take off your clothes? All you do is waste my time every day.”
”Do you really want me to take my clothes off?” Li Jiyan asked again to confirm.
”Take it off when I tell you to!”
This time, Li Jiyan no longer hesitated. He loosened his leather belt, his clothes fell away, revealing his strong and muscular body. Since he was going to marry Yu Ziyu sooner or later anyway, what harm was there in letting her see him?
Yu Ziyu stared intently at him, scrutinizing him closely. He had only removed his shirt, revealing broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with smooth and beautiful muscle lines. His rough shoulders resembled the body of a fierce tiger, and his entire body was solid and muscular, exuding terrifying brute strength.
Her gaze finally settled on Li Jiyan’s well-defined abs, and she said reproachfully, “They’re like a washboard.”
She was secretly surprised. Li Jiyan didn’t look burly at all when he was dressed, but unexpectedly, his body was so strong and powerful when he took his clothes off. Such a physique was quite good; if she were to share a room with him, it would surely be beneficial to both her body and mind, greatly aiding her path of cultivation!
Yu Ziyu continued to issue orders: “Take off your pants too.”
”Take it off now?”
Li Jiyan was unable to contain himself and stammered, feeling embarrassed but also unwilling to actually refuse her order. He was torn between wanting her to see it and fearing she wouldn’t, leaving him in a dilemma.
”Take it off when I tell you to, stop dawdling.” Yu Ziyu raised her pretty face slightly, pointing the curved knife at his pants.
Li Jiyan’s brows furrowed, and his long, slender fingers reached down to undo his trousers. Once the white trousers were completely down, he closed his eyes, awaiting Yu Ziyu’s judgment.
Yu Ziyu stared at that spot, her bright eyes suddenly widening in shock. She staggered back a few steps, screaming in despair, “So ugly! So ugly! Li Jiyan, you’re too ugly!”
Li Jiyan was taken aback by her commotion: “Ugly?”
Yu Ziyu was so frightened that she burst into tears, sobbing and cursing, “Your crotch is ugly!”
Li Jiyan quickly pulled up his pants, tied the belt in a tight knot, and awkwardly bent over, saying, “Men are all the same, so why talk about ugliness?”
“Ugly is ugly. Why are you bringing up other men? I’ve never seen what they look like.”
Yu Ziyu had just turned eighteen and had never seen another man’s penis before. She found it unbearable to look at. Li Jiyan had such a handsome appearance, how could his lower body be so repulsive?
Li Jiyan lowered his eyes, fixing them on the snow-white skin on Yu Ziyu’s neck, and tentatively asked, “What are you thinking?”
Yu Ziyu clenched her fists, still crying, and said angrily, “What else can I think! Your thing is so ugly, I feel like throwing up just looking at it, how can I marry you?”
She had been prepared.
This marriage was also beneficial to the Yu family. Although she had no romantic feelings for Li Jiyan, he at least held the prestigious title of General Who Pacifies the Barbarians and was quite handsome.
She was originally willing to make do, to be husband and wife with him for a few days, to properly train him, and to have him help her cultivate.
Who would have thought that Li Jiyan’s pants would be so ugly, like a fire poker?
How could she possibly humble herself and consummate her marriage with this ugly man?
She didn’t know about other men, but she just thought Li Jiyan’s thing was ugly. How could such a handsome man have such a coarse and ugly thing? It was truly a case of one bad apple spoiling the whole bunch.
Li Jiyan leaned closer, inhaling the sweet fragrance emanating from the flowers. He wasn’t a clever man. How could someone in his twenties, uneducated and only able to write his own name, be skilled in sweet talk?
He suggested in a self-righteous tone, “After we get married, we’ll turn off the lights and do it on our wedding night. In the dark, you won’t be able to see my thing, so you won’t find it ugly.”
Yu Ziyu turned her pretty face around, her eyes red as she glared at him: “Idiot, do you think your thing will look better if the lights are off? You’re just burying your head in the sand.”
Yu Ziyu sobbed softly, feeling extremely wronged.
How could she have chosen such a man, all show and no substance? If she had known this would happen, she should have called him into the house and made him take off his pants for her to see when Li Jiyan came to propose.
If she had known earlier that his thing was so ugly, she wouldn’t have cared about him so much.
She even wanted to study the art of controlling her husband, thinking she could discipline him properly and teach him how to be a good person, but in the end, all her efforts were in vain!
Yu Ziyu was utterly disappointed. She pushed open the door and ran out, running straight back to the Yu residence without stopping.
With red eyes, she ran to her parents’ bedroom, crying and wailing, “Mother! You’ve really ruined my life! How could you find me an ugly man like Li Jiyan? You’ve ruined my life!”
Yu Ningying was talking with her eldest daughter, Yu Qingdai, inside the house when she heard Yu Ziyu’s heart-wrenching sobs. She quickly came out and asked, “Ziyu, what’s wrong? Didn’t you go up the mountain to find your master?”
Upon seeing her mother, Yu Ziyu felt even more aggrieved.
Wiping away her tears, she said, “Mother, are you deliberately trying to harm me? That ugly Li Jiyan, you actually want me to marry him! You’ve really ruined my life!”
Yu Ningying and Yu Qingdai were completely confused. Yu Qingdai patted her sister’s shoulder and said, “Where is Li Jiyan ugly? Since he came to the capital, many people have praised him as the handsome Pan An of the North.”
Yu Ziyu cried out, “He’s only good-looking. His crotch is hideous, like a burning stick. I feel like throwing up just looking at it.”
Yu Ziyu’s words were so blunt and vulgar that Yu Ningying and Yu Qingdai exchanged bewildered glances. The mother and daughter embraced her and led her into the house. Yu Ningying coaxed her softly, “Ziyu, what do you mean? Didn’t you go up the mountain? Why did you go to see Li Jiyan again?”
After entering the house, Yu Ziyu said, “I went up the mountain to see the Ancestral Master first, and then went down the mountain to find Li Jiyan.”
”Anything else?” Yu Ningying asked step by step.
Yu Ziyu sobbed, “I made him take off his pants to show me, but I never expected that his genitals were so ugly, they made me feel nauseous. How can I sleep with such an ugly man, how can I cultivate immortality, how can I attain enlightenment!”
Yu Qingdai poured her a cup of tea and asked her mother in a low voice, “Mother, what should we do?”
Yu Ningying was at a loss. Yu Ziyu had always acted erratically, but today she had gone to such an absurd degree. She was also worried about whether she would anger Grand Commandant Li.
She had no choice but to ask again, “Ziyu, what did Li Jiyan say? You told him to take off his pants, and he did?”
Yu Ziyu sat on the armchair, sobbing uncontrollably: “I am the chosen one to cultivate immortality. How dare he disobey me? It’s his blessing that I even have to look at his body!”
She grew angrier as she spoke, and stood up to draw her long sword.
”Damn it! This Li Jiyan must know he is ugly, that’s why he deliberately came to propose marriage, trying to ruin my cultivation and disrupt my Dao heart! This slut, so ugly yet still coming near me, he has ill intentions, I’ll kill him!”
Yu Qingdai pulled her back: “Ziyu, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood him. Aren’t all men the same? If you think he’s ugly, then we won’t marry him.”
Yu Ningying always doted on her youngest daughter, and coaxed her, “That’s right, if you really don’t want to get married, then we won’t. Mother will find you someone even better.”
Yu Ziyu was still shaken and held her mother’s hand tightly.
”Mother, if you’re going to find me another husband, you have to bring him to my room first so I can properly examine his body. I don’t want an ugly one. I’m choosing a husband to contribute to my great cultivation journey, so this matter can’t be taken lightly!”
Yu Ningying nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, I’ll do whatever you say.”
Yu Ziyu cried to her mother and sister for a while, then cursed Li Jiyan before returning to her room to meditate and cultivate.
Yu Qingdai said to her mother, “Mother, what should we do if Ziyu continues like this? Lately, she keeps saying that she wants to find a man to sleep with in order to help her cultivate. I’m really afraid that she will do something even more outrageous.”
Yu Ningying also looked worried: “I don’t know what she did, she actually made Li Jiyan take off his clothes for her to see. If she offends Grand Commandant Li, that will be a real problem.”
