I Got Together with the Goddess [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 106

During this period, the reason Lan Changge used to decline commissions was always the same five words: “Master Luo is preparing for her wedding.” These simple words gave Luo Shuyu’s clients quite a fright.

In Florence, Annie gasped and covered her mouth in shock. A large blot of ink soaked into her notebook; thinking that her course project was now ruined, she frantically wiped it with a paper towel while confirming with Lan Changge: “Are you saying the Luo Shuyu? The mysterious exorcist from the East? That woman who looks more ascetic than a cloistered nun?”

“Her marriage partner is a family friend, a very beautiful young girl,” Lan Changge explained. “Shuyu sincerely expresses her apologies for any inconvenience caused. Once the wedding is over, she will head abroad to assist with the hauntings.”

“The ghost isn’t that much trouble; I saw Miss Luo resolve it last time just by tossing a stray talisman,” Annie remarked. “Why not take this opportunity to have Miss Luo hold a wedding abroad? Let us international friends see the two brides.”

Annie opened the website they had established for Luo Shuyu, which documented every instance of her exorcisms abroad. Led by her former clients, a massive fan base had long since gathered. Once Annie went public with the news of Luo Shuyu’s upcoming marriage on the site, the group chat exploded with excitement.

“I’m in Switzerland! I want to see the two beautiful brides!”

“I’m in the UK. I admire Ms. Luo Shuyu so much; I truly hope they can come to the River Thames to see the beautiful reflections here.”

“I am a Finnish witch and I am very interested in ancient Eastern mysticism. I wonder when Miss Luo can come to Northern Europe? I can travel anywhere in the surrounding area.”

Lan Changge hadn’t expected the enthusiasm of the international friends to be so high, so she could only relay the situation to Luo Shuyu, saying, “So many people are looking forward to you holding a wedding abroad. They want to meet you and Yiqing.”

Luo Shuyu replied, “I see.”

On the other side, after Jiang Yiqing told her friends the news of her marriage, she similarly received a great deal of support from her friends abroad. Some expressed deep regret that they couldn’t attend the wedding, but invited her to go skiing abroad whenever she was free, promising they would make up for it with blessings then.

“Why don’t we consider it?” Jiang Yiqing suggested. “Coincidentally, Mom has gone abroad again for business. If we do it there, she can participate as well.”

After acquiring the Qingshu land, Luo Shu had continued to stay busy with other affairs and was currently abroad. Although she would definitely return to China for her daughter’s wedding, the Luo family had many friends overseas as well. If everyone were expected to travel for the wedding, it might be a bit too grand an undertaking. Given the demand, they might as well hold a second wedding abroad.

“Alright then. One in China, and one abroad,” Luo Shuyu said as she helped Jiang Yiqing fasten her protective gear.

At the start of the New Year, Jiang Yiqing announced she wanted to go skiing. The Jiang family was very nervous; after all, she had just suffered a fall, yet she wanted to ski again.

Luo Shuyu could only keep a close watch on her. Unlike the others who believed Jiang Yiqing was a master-level skier, only Luo Shuyu knew that the current Jiang Yiqing had to learn how to ski all over again from scratch.

Before setting out, Luo Shuyu had a conversation with her.

“Why do you want to go skiing?” Luo Shuyu asked. “Are you worried that you aren’t the same as the ‘previous’ Yiqing? In truth, everyone and I know that Yiqing is Yiqing—not anyone else.”

“Can’t I just want to learn for myself?” Jiang Yiqing looked up with a smile and said, “If I don’t know how, will you teach me? Please?”

What else could Luo Shuyu say? Whatever Yiqing said went. This time, she absolutely could not let anything happen to her.

The two arrived at a ski resort nestled between snow-capped mountains. The surrounding scenery was breathtaking, but the wind was biting and cold.

Jiang Yiqing, however, didn’t seem to mind the cold at all. She held up her phone and took a photo of the two of them, posting it to her social circle. It served as a way to let Lin Jing and the others know she was safe; they had all assumed she had quit after her injury, but now they knew she was back.

Luo Shuyu admired this spirit of persevering through setbacks. She cautioned, “We can’t be careless just because there’s a system and we can buy items. You can’t go to places that are too high or dangerous, you’re not allowed to overspeed, and you’re certainly not allowed to get hurt.”

“I’m just a beginner, you’re overthinking it.”

Under Luo Shuyu’s guidance, Jiang Yiqing slowly glided along a gentle slope. This sport was very taxing on the knees, but for some reason, she seemed to have a natural talent for it.

Soon, the beginner area could no longer satisfy her. Jiang Yiqing said, “I want to try a steeper slope.”

“…” Luo Shuyu sighed. “I’ll hold onto you while we slide.”

“How can you hold someone in this sport?” Jiang Yiqing had seen people being carried while skiing, but she didn’t like that.

Skiing was indeed difficult to support someone in, but without Luo Shuyu, even with her talent, Jiang Yiqing kept falling. She couldn’t experience that “flying” sensation she craved.

Luo Shuyu’s posture was very practiced whenever she went to help the fallen girl up. Jiang Yiqing felt a bit embarrassed: “You should just ski yourself. Don’t worry about me for a bit; let me figure it out on my own.”

“That won’t do.” If it weren’t for coming with Jiang Yiqing, Luo Shuyu likely wouldn’t have come skiing at all. She walked over, brushed the snow off Jiang Yiqing’s hat, and asked, “Do you really want to experience that feeling?”

If she really wanted to, she could use the system, but Jiang Yiqing wanted to learn on her own. Hearing Luo Shuyu speak like that, it seemed like there was a way.

“Shuyu, do you have a good idea?”

Luo Shuyu arched an eyebrow and said, “I can take you with me.”

“I don’t want you to carry me; it’s too dangerous,” Jiang Yiqing said.

“Then how about this: put both hands on my waist and lean down low, okay?”

Jiang Yiqing tried the posture and realized she was essentially hanging onto Luo Shuyu. However, it was indeed safer than being carried because her legs were positioned between Luo Shuyu’s, meaning all four skis were on the ground.

Since she was facing away from the slope, she could look up and see the clear blue sky and the surrounding snow mountains at a glance, as well as Luo Shuyu’s beautiful face. This posture provided an incredible sense of security—like a baby joey tucked into a kangaroo’s pouch.

“Is this really okay?” Jiang Yiqing was a little nervous.

“It’s no burden for me,” Luo Shuyu said. “But you must hold me tight. No matter what happens, do not let go, otherwise we will both have a very nasty fall.”

“Mhm.” Jiang Yiqing nodded.

Luo Shuyu began to glide down the ski run. Surrounding tourists looked on in surprise, clearing the path for them.

As Luo Shuyu grew more comfortable, she skied faster and faster. Jiang Yiqing’s vision gradually became a blur of rapidly changing scenery, but at the center of her field of vision, Luo Shuyu’s presence never shifted an inch.

That wind-like freedom made her cry out in joy. She thought to herself that this must be the feeling the “other” Yiqing loved so much.

“Shuyu, this is so much fun!!!” Even after they reached the bottom, Jiang Yiqing’s voice continued to echo through the valley between the mountains.

The crowd turned to look, and Luo Shuyu shouted back, “If you like it, I’ll take you to play for a lifetime. I’ll take you anywhere you want to go.”

Finally, the two came to a sudden stop. Jiang Yiqing was pulled into a full embrace by Luo Shuyu, and they tumbled back onto the thick snow. Even through their heavy winter clothes, they could feel each other’s heartbeats. Jiang Yiqing leaned in and kissed her lips, enjoying the rush of endorphins.

The newly built “Great Ming Everbright City” in the south of the city had surged to become a hot spot on social media. Not only was it a scenic attraction, but it also offered free wedding venues, allowing every girl who wanted to get married and have others witness her happiness to cosplay as Princess Xianming and enjoy the treatment of a royal wedding.

On this day, Jiang Yiqing was dressed in the wedding attire of a Great Ming princess. When she appeared atop the tower of the Everbright City, which was adorned with three thousand bright lanterns against the night sky, the tourists below erupted into cheers.

Countless red Kongming lanterns rose from the ground into the sky. Following the neighing of a horse, another woman dressed in red wedding robes galloped from the other end of the path toward the tower.

Tourists held flowers and showered them upon Luo Shuyu. Amidst the rain of petals, Luo Shuyu brought her horse to a halt and spoke softly to her lover on the tower: “Princess Anxu, will you marry me?”

“Wasn’t it Princess Xianming? Why is it Princess Anxu?”

“She must be named Anxu. It’s a cosplay, not like they actually have to use the original name. Don’t you know how to be flexible?”

As the passersby discussed it, they looked up to see the stunning beauty holding an embroidered ball encrusted with dazzling jewels, which she threw toward the person on horseback.

“If you catch it, you are my Prince Consort!” Jiang Yiqing shouted loudly.

The crowd stirred for a moment, only to see that the woman on the horse was a skilled martial artist. she leaped into the air from the saddle—not even giving the crowd time to react—caught the embroidered ball in her arms, and landed back on the horse.

The crowd broke into applause.

Jiang Yiqing then stepped over the tower railing and, under the watchful eyes of the public, jumped down.

“There must be a wire, right?”

“Definitely. Otherwise, who would jump? They’d lose their life.”

The night was deep, and no one could see where the wire was. They only saw the bride dancing gracefully through the air, while the “female Prince Consort” on horseback steered forward. Just as the bride descended, she was caught perfectly in her arms.

The tower’s loudspeakers began to play traditional-style music specifically composed for this wedding. Accompanied by the soul-stirring melody, Jiang Yiqing and Luo Shuyu toured the Great Ming Everbright City on horseback. Everywhere they went, thousands followed in their wake.

Everyone marveled at the creative ingenuity and unparalleled grandeur of the wedding.

Jiang Yiqing and Luo Shuyu rode for a distance, their red robes trailing and fluttering in the night, reflecting the light of the Kongming lanterns.

Next, they dismounted and boarded a painted boat by the lake. As the boat moved through the green ripples and flower-covered bridges, two rows of young attendants tossed wedding candies and red envelopes to the crowd. People along the banks pushed open their windows to greet them, and those on the stone paths scrambled to catch the treats.

Jiang Yiqing felt as if she had returned to the place where she was born, but this time, it felt more beautiful than anything she had experienced in her past life. With her lover walking hand-in-hand in this world, the road ahead was sure to be a magnificent one.

After landing, they passed the opera house and entered Lingshu Temple. Together, they held incense and made their vows before the Buddha.

“May my family be at peace, and may my Royal Sister be well.” Jiang Yiqing stole a glance at Luo Shuyu. The other was also looking at her, lips curled in a slight smile, careful not to smudge her rouge, yet looking so beautiful. Jiang Yiqing thought to herself: I pray that Shuyu and I, through all the years to come, never lose our smiles; may our hearts be joined forever, and our bond proven through every lifetime.
