Chapter 54 CK and XXZ special: Happy life?

Start from the beginning
                                    

[Married]

The night that Xiao Xiang Zi and Chu Kong got married, all the immortals were drunk. Without such a happy event for a long time, everyone seemed to discharge a lot.

Chu Kong entered the wedding chamber and saw his newly wed wife sitting quietly on the bed. His heart shook intolerable. Such a quiet Xiao Xiang Zi was really a too rare sight. He stood in front of Xiao Xiang Zi for a long time. Xiao Xiang Zi also didn’t hurry. She quietly waited for him to lift her red veil.

Due to the fact that Xiao Xiang Zi was really too quiet, Chu Kong couldn’t bear to break the silence. But without lifting the veil, things couldn’t be done……Chu Kong pondered and decided to nevertheless lift Xiao Xiang Zi’s veil. Then…..his expression suddenly became stiff.

His bride under the veil had a mouth full of oil after eating. Chu Kong sighed: “I just know that too quiet is definitely not a good thing……”

Xiao Xiang Zi looked once aggrieved at Chu Kong and muttered: “This marriage is really unequal. You eat and drink outside and I needed to suffer hunger inside. I was so hungry that I just needed to get something to eat. Otherwise, if we get married next time, we can change. I’ll go outside and greet them. You wait inside. I saw a lot of good wine……”

Chu Kong rubbed the veins that were about to explode on his forehead.

“This sort of thing was better not to have a next time!”

Xiao Xiang Zi with a mouth full of oil touched her stomach contentedly.

“It’s better to do things while being full.”

Chu Kong blushed and looked away.

“What……what did you eat?”

Xiao Xiang Zi lifted her fingers and began to count. Chu Kong glared at her for quite a while and saw that she was still counting, he sighed. He scratched his head and then his heart became ruthless. He grabbed Xiao Xiang Zi’s chin and smiled with squinted eyes: “I know you’re stupid. I’ll personally try it.”

“What…..”

His lips touched his wife’s. His tongue gently touched Xiao Xiang Zi’s lips and then went in. Not entangling for long, Chu Kong released her. Xiao Xiang Zi asked curiously: “Have you tasted what I’ve eaten?”

Chu Kong’s expression was serious: “No, I need to explore more carefully.”

Then he used one whole night to carefully explore…….

The next morning, when Xiao Xiang Zi woke up, she asked very persistently: “In the end, have you tasted what I ate yesterday?”

Chu Kong raised his hand and brought her in his embrace. He pressed her down and firmly replied: “Me.”

[Star Observatory]

The two things moved into the courtyard that the Jade emperor gifted. They lived a happy life mixed with a bit of noise. They brought the deer horse demon to heaven, saying it was a riding horse, but in fact he was treated like a pet.

This evening, Ying Shi came to look for Chu Kong: “Big brother Chu Kong, let’s go watch the stars.

Chu Kong pondered and then nodded: “Mm, alright.”

Then he shouted: “Xiao Xiang Zi, let’s go to the Star Observatory to watch stars.”

Timely, Xiao Xiang Zi was brushing the deer horse’ demon’s hairs. Upon hearing this, she patted the deer horse demon’s head: “Do you want to go to watch the stars tonight?”

The deer horse demon humphed while nodding. So, Xiao Xiang Zi said: “I’ll go after I finish brushing.”

After Chu Kong passed those words to Ying Shi, Ying Shi smiled a bit and said: “There’s someone waiting there for me. I’ll go first.”

However when the two of them arrived at the Star Observatory, they didn’t see Ying Shi and that “someone else”. Xiao Xiang Zi scratched her head: “Can it be that they aren’t watching the stars here?”

Chu Kong sat down on the ground. While looking at the star’s road, he said: “It’s just right with nobody here. It’s quiet.”

Xiao Xiang Zi also sat down. Suddenly, she remembered something: “Ah, after seeing the stars, I suddenly remembered. These two days, I forgot to tell you. I’m pregnant.”

Chu Kong nodded indifferently then his body stiffened: “What……”

“I’m pregnant.”

Chu Kong’s mouth slowly fell down: “Boy or girl?”

“How should I know?”

Translator's Comments:

In the first chapter, Chu Kong promised Ying Shi to go count the star’s at the Morningstar’s Hall. This chapter Ying Shi asked Chu Kong to go watch the stars with her at the Star Observatory.

So, this is the end of the book. Although, it was a happy ending, I felt it was a bit unfinished. Why did heavenly emperor Lee appear before them without doing anything? He could’ve at least scolded them for messing up the 7 lifetimes. Besides, I felt that the story of Ying Shi was a bit underdeveloped. But I enjoyed this book very much.

How I feel now: This is the first book which I’ve translated completely. I feel relieved and sad now. Relieved because I finished it! I’m so happy that I could finish it. Sad because I needed to part with it now and I’m gonna miss arrogant Chu Kong. Bye bye.

Little review:

Chu Kong: too shy, too arrogant and too unromantic, but very cute. I felt that he was the character who developed the most in this novel. After the first lifetime, he realized his feelings and was like how XXZ said it, chasing her. He became from a childish man to a mature man, although he really blushes too easily. I liked all 7 him.

Xiao Xiang Zi: too immature and too slow in the matters of love. She didn’t develop that much as a character. Aside from the second lifetime, every lifetime, I see her as her. The last lifetime was the lifetime which she developed the most as character.

The book was funny, but without much depth. It was a light read. I, personally prefer books with more depth. But because this book wasn’t a book with depth, it was easy to translate. I would give this book a 4/5 stars.
