The following morning the two of them woke up with their eyes as puffy as could be, the two looked at each other and laughed as they laid in bed. As the two of them were laughing a knock came at the door; after they talked for a while in the main hall of the four season-palace, they went to Hou Chi's room in the winter palace.
"Master, are you up?" Hou Yu asked her but it was Bai Jue who answered instead
"She is, you can come in." Bai Jue said and even though Hou Yu was flustered that Bai Jue was in the room with her master, she still came into the room.
"OH MY!" Hou Yu shouted once she saw the two's faces.
"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU TWO?!" Hou Yu asked them, Hou Chi remained quiet
"Stop staring at your master, she lost her voice crying with me last night." Bai Jue said to Hou Yu with a coarse voice and Hou Yu nodded confusingly at him.
"Bring a pot of ginger tea with honey for your master and me. Don't worry about helping her get ready, I will help her today." Bai Jue said and Hou Yu nodded as she started to head out of the room
"Oh, also bring two cold rags to cover our eyes." Bai Jue said to Hou Yu, the young beast nodded quickly before she rushed out of the room in embracement.
"Come." Bai Jue said to Hou Chi as he extended his hand to her and she took his hand with a smile.
"Just like back in the human world?" Hou Chi asked him and he smiled at her
"I've waited so long just to do this again." Bai Jue said to her and she smiled as she took a seat in front of her mirror.
Back when the two of them were in the human world for their turbulence, even though there was a maid who would help her get ready, the human Bai Jue would insist on at least brushing her hair for her.
"Is that so?" Hou Chi asked him with a small, soft and Bai Jue nodded as he looked at the mirror
"I can brush it for you as long as I'm alive." Bai Jue said to her and she smiled, the two were so immersed in their love that they didn't notice Hou Yu coming back into the room.
"Master. Teacher." Hou Yu said to them and the two of them finally looked at her
"I've brought the pot of ginger tea with honey." Hou Yu said to them and the two of them nodded, Bai Jue put down the comb and went over to pour a cup of ginger tea for Hou Chi.
"Have some tea." Bai Jue said to her and she took the cup of tea from his hand, she took a sip of the tea and she could feel the slight burn of the ginger but the sweetness of honey linger on her tongue.
Hou Chi nodded her head with a smile as she looked at him
"It's sweet." Hou Chi said to him and he smiled at her, Bai Jue caressed her cheek, and Hou Chi leaned towards his hand and closed her eyes.
"Ahem." Hou Yu cleared her throat
"What is it A'Yu?" Bai Jue asked her and she smiled at the two of them
"I sense that the other true gods and the other Season goddesses are outside of the winter palace." Hou Yu said to the two of them and Bai Jue nodded.
"Go welcome them and bring them to the guest room. I will help Hou Chi get ready and meet them." Bai Jue instructed Hou Yu and she nodded her head as she headed out of the room.
"Come, let's finish your hair, go out there and welcome your guest." Bai Jue said to her and Hou Chi nodded. Once the Bai Jue was done brushing her hair, with a wave of her hand; her clothing changed.
"Shall we head out?" Hou Chi asked, her voice sounded better after having some warm tea and Bai Jue nodded as he led her out of the room towards her guest room. They all look up at the two of them and laughed
"What is wrong with the two of you?" Shang Gu asked them, she quickly conjured up two bubbles and emerged their face into the bubble; their puffy eye returned to normal.
"We should've just called for your help this morning." Hou Chi said to her and Shang Gu chuckled
"Did you two cry together all night?" Qing Mu asked them and Hou Chi smiled as she looked at Bai Jue
"We did but we've also talked about multiple things as well." Hou Chi said to them and they all looked at her, waiting to hear the news.
"We've talked about getting married again." Hou Chi said to them
"Really? When should we hold it?!" Er'Xi asked her and Hou Chi chuckled
"Hou Chi and I wanted to hold it with just you all and announce it to all three realms." Bai Jue said to them, they all looked at each other
"Are you two sure?" Chang Ge asked them and the two nodded
"We had a big wedding in the human realm but we only had a few people we knew so this time we would like just to have people we know and love attend our wedding." Bai Jue said to them
"That is true. I also agree with inviting only people we know to attend the wedding." Hou Chi said to them as she held onto Bai Jue's hand the two of them smiled at their family.
"That is fine." Qing Mu said to them
"It might be fine to not invite anyone to a season goddess's wedding but what about not inviting anyone to a true god's wedding?" Shang Gu asked
"Of course. As important as it might be, it is also important to follow one's heart. A wedding is a union of two people, so if the two of them do not wish to invite others. That is fine." Qing Mu said to them. Hou Chi was happy to hear this news.
"Thank you for allowing this." Hou Chi said
"Even though I told Hou Chi that it was nothing to worry about, she wanted to talk to you all before we plan anything." Bai Jue said to them
"When would you two like to hold the ceremony?" Chang Ge asked her and Hou Chi smiled
"We would like to hold it three days from today." Hou Chi said
"That's very specific, is there a reason?" Er'Xi asked her and Hou Chi turned to look at Bai Jue
"It was the day we got married in the human realm." Bai Jue said
"I would've thought that you both wouldn't want to remember that day." Chang Ge said to them but the couple smiled as they looked at each other
"Our life in the mortal realm might not have ended in happiness but the day that we got married was the best day of our life as humans." Bai Jue said to them
"And the day we married was also the day that we met in the mortal realm as well." Hou Chi added
"Well, then three days from now it is." Er'Xi said to them and they all agreed.
"Then we would like you all to come to our wedding." Bai Jue said to them and Hou Chi nodded
"We'll be there for sure." Shang Gu said to the two of them
"Well, should we all head out? I believe that we all need to attend to our work." Qing Mu said to them, they got up and left.
"I will also head out as well." Bai Jue said to Hou Chi
"Why?" Hou Chi asked him and he smiled at her
"The bride and groom can't see each other for three days before the wedding." Bai Jue said to her and gave her a kiss on her forehead before he headed out.
