### Chapter 95: The Wedding Banquet, Forced Into the Bridal Chamber - Ah? The Wives I Abandoned Turned Out to Be Real

### Chapter 95: The Wedding Banquet, Forced Into the Bridal Chamber **[You awaken to find yourself back in that dungeon.]** **[It is still furnished with the same new furniture, complete and pristine.]** **[But now you feel your sea of qi sealed; you’re unsure what method Fei Lingxue used, but your true qi is completely sealed.]** **[As you get lost in thought, Su Jin enters with a lunchbox.]** **[She walks in gracefully, her eyes calm, exuding a pure tenderness.]** **[Seeing Su Jin, you can’t help but feel she is just as gentle and endearing as before.]** "Su Jin." "You’ve become more elegant than ever." **[Upon seeing you, Su Jin’s eyes reveal a hint of surprise.]** **[It’s her first time seeing you as a man, and despite the resemblance, it leaves her flustered in a way she can't describe.]** "Xiao... Young Master Su." "Please, eat first." **[Her voice is soft, and you feel an inexplicable joy hearing it.]** **[After speaking, Su Jin leaves the lunchbox behind and prepares to leave, but you stop her just in time.]** "Su Jin, don’t go, stay and chat with me for a while." **[Hearing your plea, Su Jin hesitates slightly, then nods in agreement.]** "Young Master Su, what would you like to talk about?" "What about Fei Lingxue?" **[On hearing your question, Su Jin speaks up.]** "Miss is taking a nap." "Napping?" **[When you hear that Fei Lingxue, the bothersome woman, is napping comfortably somewhere, you feel an indescribable vexation.]** "What’s happened to me?" "How did my dantian and sea of qi get sealed, leaving me unable to exert any inner force?" **[Su Jin shakes her head when she hears you.]** "Young Master Su, I don’t know." "Perhaps Miss used some secret technique." "Alright, Young Master Su, I can’t talk to you for too long, or Miss will be angry, I must be going." **[Watching Su Jin leave hastily, you feel a pang of regret.]** **[If you could somehow win Su Jin’s affections, there would be no regrets in life.]** **[There’s still no clue about Li Shenbu and Bing’er.]** **[How did Fei Lingxue manage to get you here all by herself?]** **[You think long and hard, but fail to reach any conclusion.]** **[In the meantime, a sense of fear begins to take root in your heart.]** **[What if Fei Lingxue decides to keep you imprisoned here for life?]** **[You can't tell, but just the possibility fills you with dread.]** **[This madwoman might really be capable of such a thing.]** **[The following days match the monotonous time of your prior captivity, with Su Jin bringing meals and occasionally a few maids to clean the place.]** **[With your inner power sealed, you are no more than a clumsy fighter; they don’t fear you escaping.]** **[You seize the opportunity of alone time with Su Jin to begin a verbal and emotional courtship.]** **[This extraordinary man before her, compounded by past affections for you in your female form, easily wins her over, and her feelings quickly shift towards you, enhancing your bond.]** **[Yet, her loyalty to Fei Lingxue remains unyielding, preventing her from crossing any boundaries, not even allowing you to hold her hand.]** **[You, in turn, feel at an impasse.]** **[After keeping you for half a month, Fei Lingxue shows up in the dungeon wearing a translucent, gauzy outfit.]** **[Staring at her dazzling figure covered only by a thin veil makes you feel an intense heat rising within.]** **[Yet, Fei Lingxue seems only to tease you, idling outside the cage without entering.]** **[Feeling strained, your tone turns impatient.]** "You crazy woman, how much longer are you going to keep me here?" "And my inner power, what sorcery did you use to render it useless?" **[Fei Lingxue laughs triumphantly at your words.]** "You’ve fallen victim to my Meridian-Dissolution Technique; don’t expect to wield any inner power for at least a year." "Weren’t you planning to marry that Kong Bing woman?" "How dare you do that behind my back." "And do you know why Su Jin hasn't let you touch her, not even once? I’ve been watching you all along." "I’m making sure you can never touch another woman again." **[Understanding suddenly dawns on you, explaining why Su Jin wouldn’t let you touch her; Fei Lingxue was spying from some hidden chamber.]** **[Seeing your silence, Fei Lingxue begins flaunting her allure before you.]** "You seductive woman!" ... ... ... ... "Enough… enough!" ... **[Deprived of inner force, you succumb after just two hours.]** **[Fei Lingxue cradles your limp body, laughing with derision.]** "My dear husband, I’ve changed my mind. Tonight, I’ll send you some snow fungus with rock sugar and old ginseng boiled in chicken broth, to replenish your strength properly." "We’ll continue this later." **[Your face darkens at her words.]** **[This crazy woman, she’ll be the death of me!**] **[Days simplify to a monotonous cycle, day after day, year after year.]** ... Su Mo looked at the scene, feeling somewhat helpless. Was this simulation destined to last like this forever? Though she wore different clothes and tried new tricks each time, sometimes even called Su Jin over, the monotony made it tiresome. ... **[Three and a half months into this indulgent life, you long to escape, but feel powerless.]** **[Yet, as time passes, you notice your inner power gradually returning. At this rate, in less than a month, your power will be fully restored.]** **[Fei Lingxue notices too, but doesn’t hinder your recovery; rather, her demands become more intense.]** **[Another month passes, and while embracing Fei Lingxue, you suddenly realize all your inner power has returned.]** **[In your excitement, Fei Lingxue is the first to sense it.]** **[Her flushed face starts to pale, a melancholy shadowing her mood.]** "Are you leaving?" "If you wish to leave, then go." "I’m content having had you for so long." **[Seeing her expression, an inexplicable twinge of sadness tugs at your heart.]** **[But recalling the multiple times she entrapped you, you don’t dare to risk staying. You dress promptly.]** **[Yet as you depart, you soften unexpectedly.]** **[In a moment of weakness, you say:]** "If you ever miss me, come to the Su Residence." **[With that, you leave without looking back.]** **[Watching you depart, Fei Lingxue smiles triumphantly, her eyes a pool of myriad emotions.]** **[In the end, acceptance is inevitable...]** ... **[As you leave, you stop by to see Su Jin; upon hearing your farewell, she feels reluctant, yet helpless.]** "Young Master, isn’t it good here?" "Could you stay?" **[Seeing Su Jin’s reluctance, you're similarly hesitant; you’re fond of her, enthralled by the idea of enveloping her completely.]** **[Amidst hesitation, a sultry voice reaches you from behind.]** "Su Jin, if you’re so reluctant, return with him." **[Fei Lingxue, dressed up, stands behind you at this moment.]** **[Su Jin is startled to hear this.]** "Miss." "That’s not what I meant." **[However, Fei Lingxue remains tranquil.]** "I’m serious. I have plenty of tasks, look after him for me. Also, keep an eye on him, don’t let him flirt around." "I wouldn't have enough for myself otherwise." **[At her calm words, you suddenly feel a slight twinge in your waist.]** **[On your way back, you opt for a stealthier route on horseback with Su Jin.]** **[You arrive at the Su Residence five days later, which runs smoothly in your absence. As your return is announced, Kong Bing rushes to the main hall to see you.]** "Husband." **[Before exchanging pleasantries, she notices Su Jin standing beside you.]** **[A peculiar tension rises among the three of you.]** "Bing’er, is something wrong?" **[You embrace Kong Bing directly, though her body stiffens, revealing a hint of resistance.]** **[Prepared with a slew of justifications, you take the initiative to speak.]** "Bing’er, Su Jin is a maid of Fei Lingxue from the Blood Garb Tower. Without her help, I might never have made it back." **[At this moment, Su Jin speaks up.]** "We've met before, haven't we? Miss Kong?" **[Upon learning it was Su Jin who aided your escape, Kong Bing sets aside her jealousy, slipping from your embrace to hold Su Jin’s hand.]** "Of course, I remember you. At that time in Liuzhou, I felt you were a kind-hearted sister." "Dear sister, thank you for helping Brother Su." "Otherwise, I might never have seen him again." **[Kong Bing looks at you with eyes full of tenderness, though you are riddled with guilt.]** **[Su Jin handles the situation gracefully.]** "It’s nothing, sister. As long as Master Su is happy, nothing else matters." **[Despite a hint of discomfort in Su Jin’s words, Kong Bing graciously maintains her composure.]** **[She then calmly inquires.]** "Su Jin, do you perhaps have feelings for Brother Su?" **[Su Jin blushes, her voice as soft as a whisper.]** "Yes..." **[Kong Bing sighs and gives you a slight rebuking glance.]** "With someone as outstanding as Brother Su, of course, he’d have countless admirers." "Well, in that case, why don't you join me in marrying Brother Su." **[Witnessing Kong Bing’s understanding nature fills you with boundless joy.]** "Thank you, Bing’er." ... **[With the previous wedding disrupted, you organize another, this time with two brides.]** **[On the wedding day, after the ceremony, you spot Fei Lingxue among the guests at the banquet, sitting alone in a corner, sipping her drink with a look of deep melancholy.]** **[Her presence reminds you of the promise you once made to her.]** **[It’s clear she regrets not marrying you; despite her high status and strong personality, she is still a woman at heart.]** **[You take your wine and approach her.]** "You’re here?" **[Seeing you approach, Fei Lingxue forces a smile.]** "Aren’t you supposed to be with your brides? Why come to me?" **[You say nothing, opting instead to scoop Fei Lingxue up and carry her into the bridal chamber, unperturbed.]** **[After all, regrets are meant to be mended.]** **[Seeing the sheer happiness on Fei Lingxue’s face, you realize you’ve made the right choice.]** (End of Chapter)
