The Yao Emperor and His Human Doctor.

Chapter 92 - Weddings

Su Ning's injuries took some time to begin to heal, just as Qiang Yong predicted. In addition to humans not being able to recover quickly, Su Ning did not receive light damage, after all he almost died. But now the emperor could be at his side, as he had wanted the first time they met. This time, he could wipe the sweat from Su Ning's forehead when he had a fever and could help him clean himself and eat.

After a week in bed, Su Ning was finally able to take light walks in the garden and was able to meet An Shu again. Qiang Yong was alerted by the flower fairies to the snake's location and the emperor arrived in time to rescue him.
An Shu who had also been burned was also fully recovered and the doctor's treatment helped. Han Chia didn't even leave any scars on his skin. Fire was this yao's weak point, whether it was cultivators or not.

With her two sons-in-law healthy again, the Dowager Empress can now busy herself with preparations for two weddings. She couldn't help but hug Su Ning tightly when she saw him.
"I already had him as a friend, now I have another son!"
Su Ning was very grateful for the affection and returned the hug. He never thought he could have a family, much less one with members so dear to him. Qiang Ling, Ren Loo, Ren Shyu, An Shu who was already friends with him... and Qiang Yong, whom he already loved deeply now.

A few days later Qiang Ling had already achieved more than half of the arrangements she planned. The doctor was amazed at how quickly she pulled her strings and how grand the event was. What could he expect after all from the Emperor's wedding? The guest list was huge! Mostly yao, although the Empress invited the leader of the medical sect, Lai Guen and Emperor Zhi Lu. The latter was shocked to death by the news.

Su Ning couldn't blame him for being so scared, he considered the doctor an ascetic. In any case, Zhi Lu gladly accepted the invitation.
Su Ning wasn't used to parties and another thing the doctor couldn't get away with was his wedding outfit. The Empress went to great lengths to make it as luxurious as she could, not even An Shu's was left behind.

It was all decorated with gold thread, with lotus motifs and detailed arabesques. The crown itself was extremely heavy and the doctor feared he would break his neck with all that weight. He preferred to leave it until close to the time of the ceremony. Su Ning couldn't get used to such extravagance, but seeing the Empress so happy and satisfied, he didn't dare object.

He also couldn't help but feel extremely happy on the long-awaited day. His heart suddenly felt so warm and light, like he had never felt before. He was sitting on the garden bench, drinking tea, when Qiang Yong appeared. The emperor walked slowly and silently, admiring the beauty in his garden.

Before knowing who Su Ning was, he already considered him very handsome, after his identity was confirmed, for the dragon he was the most beautiful being in everyone (What love doesn't do, right people, although the doctor was handsome same).

He stood before him, as if he wanted to mark him forever in his memory like this, dressed entirely in red like a precious stone. The combination with the blue-black tones of his hair created a very beautiful contrast to see. Su Ning smiled, watching him reciprocally. The red and gold dragon emperor was quite manly and Su Ning's cheeks flushed.

"Can I ask you to dress like this every day?" Qiang Yong asked.
"Uhm... won't you get sick of seeing so much red?" Su Ning laughed, turning even redder.
"No, mainly because it matches the tone of your cheeks whenever you see me."

Su Ning even let out smoke from his ears. "If I'm going to dress like this, you'll have to do it too. A groom always needs his date."
"Uh! You're right. Let's both wear red forever, hehe." Qiang Yong gently hugged him, pulling him close to him. He left the chrysanthemum stone pendant clearly visible on his chest and Su Ning resting against his chest could feel the temperature of the cold stone.

"There's something I want to show you first."
"What is it?" Su Ning asked curiously. What else could they do?
"Come with me." Not satisfied, Qiang Yong blindfolded him with a strip of red silk. He was pleased to see that Su Ning didn't object and fully trusted being guided by him in the dark (I know... I was in the mood to try some BSDM, yes 👍).

Su Ning felt that they were leaving the Fortress, in the few days he had been there he had already become familiar with the environment. His curiosity was already aroused, but he contained himself.

"There! We're here!" Qiang Yong removed his blindfold. They were in front of a newly erected building adjacent to the fortress, in fact an extension of it. The place was extremely familiar, It is more elegant and reinforced. Ning stared at her in amazement, unable to help but circle the building in amazement.

"That's it..."
"Yes. It's a replica of your clinic."
"You mean an improved version of my clinic!" The doctor said with shining eyes.
"An Shu helped me by making a detailed scheme. There are still a few details left here and there. But the main thing was ready and I wanted to give it to you as a wedding gift..."
Qiang Yong couldn't finish speaking because Su Ning threw himself into his arms, kissing him. "YOU are my best gift!"

"Oh! Does this mean you're going to stop taking medication and spend your entire day with me? Am I more important than medicine?"
"If that's what you want, yes. Today I can tell you that I would drop everything for you!"
This time Qiang Yong was caught off guard  and he also kissed him, intensely. He only let go of Su Ning's lips after they turned as red as his robes.

"I would never ask you that. But I confess that I am very happy with this answer!" Qiang Yong caressed his cheek, his eyes moist.
The dragon then took his beloved to see his new workplace, highlighting the improvements and features that he and An Shu had added. He also justified himself for not having rebuilt in the same place.

Firstly, because the fortress was also on a mountain. He even had pine trees planted around it, since he knew Su Ning appreciated them. Second, because he wanted to be close to him. The emperor didn't mind yao and humans coming to consult, as long as Su Ning was safe. At this point the doctor thought that Qiang Yong was afraid that Ce Rang would return and he did not object therefore.

The near-death experience also made him fear for the dragon's safety and he did not want to be separated from Qiang Yong even for an instant, fearing some retaliation against him. (The doctor has no idea that this ordinary man already crossed the Yellow River a long time ago and will probably never know).

Now he knew what he really felt for the dragon and realized that as Han Chia said, once trapped by love, there was no escape. He never wanted to leave that person's side again. Finally, the two couples came together at the end of the day. Ren Loo looked magnificent in her far from discreet outfits. She also felt whole again, regaining a feeling she thought she had lost a long time ago.

Ren Shyuo, who she thought might cause trouble, accepted the marriage very well. He already considered An Shu as a friend, now he even respected him, especially because he had shown himself worthy of protecting his mother. The wedding banquet lasted until late at night, when the guests were so drunk that they didn't even notice the bride and groom retreating to the wedding bed.

Author's Note

Qiang Yong crying because Su Ning loves him more than medicine now... a declaration at the time of death and another above his own passion, this time Dr. Su outdid himself 😅, but the dragon deserved this retribution.
This time I didn't focus so much on the wedding, in the next novel there won't even be one (THAT'S RIGHT! I'm writing another one, but it doesn't even have a name yet, just the skeleton of the story lol).
And now it's time for extras. I should make a book just with extras. And the part I like the most, after the lemons and romantic declarations.
