After settling the official matters, it was time for the private matters.
The private matters were actually very simple. Wood and Bei Feng were registered as husband and wife, so what kind of 'private matters' would there be between husband and wife?
Hur hur, there was no need to mention it.
Bei Feng naturally did not have any objections to this. As a spy, even if he could not sleep with anyone, he would at least not take such matters to heart. In order to avoid leaking any secrets, Wood had been living the life of a bachelor all these years. Not to mention looking for a wife, he did not even dare to go to brothels. One had to know that the easiest place for a man to leak secrets was in a woman's bed.
Wood was a healthy man, both physically and mentally. This was especially so after he'd taken the All-Purpose Elixir. His condition was so good that it could not be any better. Seven times in one night was not a problem for him at all.
Under such circumstances, it was rather strange that he still persisted in abstinence like some clergymen.
His explanation was that he could not forget old feelings. His heart was already filled with one person, filled with an unforgettable true love. There was no room for another woman, another love.
This reason was too lofty. No one would be able to thicken their skin and force an infatuated man to have a change of heart. Wood also did not have any friends like Fafnir or Hugh, who were as wild and unrestrained as wild horses. Thus, he had been able to remain single all these years.
Until Bei Feng's arrival.
According to the 'setting' of the character, Bei Feng was the woman who had made him wait alone in his room for more than ten years.
So what would happen if they went to the city hall and confirmed their relationship as husband and wife and returned home?
In any case, the next day, Wood was in extremely good spirits. He was like a young stallion that had successfully bred for the first time. His entire person exuded an aura of 'I'm very happy'.
That day, he ran all over the place, visiting all the friends he'd made over the years and inviting them to a banquet a few days later.
"What banquet?" His friend Riff Kavat asked.
"My wedding banquet," Wood replied.
Riff's eyes widened in shock. After a few seconds, he asked, "If I remember correctly, you have a lover that you've been separated from for many years..."
"I just saw her again. Her life these few years has not been easy." Wood skipped over the unimportant parts. "But no matter what, she is now by my side, and will always be by my side."
Riff's eyes widened again.
This time, he was stunned for a longer time than the last time. Then, as if there were springs under his feet, he suddenly jumped up and hugged Wood's shoulder. "You bastard! You're really something! "
"It's been more than ten years. She must have gotten married a long time ago. She might have even given birth to a child … What kind of magic did you use to make her abandon everything to come find you? Follow you for the rest of my life? Brother Wood, you are my brother! How about you teach me a few moves? "
As the director of the mining industry in the Republic of Northwest, Reif's administrative rank was that of a sub-consul, and he could be considered as one of the senior bureaucrats. With his wealth, he would have married and had children long ago. It was just that Mr. Kavat, who was serious at work, was a henpecked husband at home. Needless to say, he only received pocket money after handing in his salary. In his daily life, he even dared not go west if his wife wanted him to go east.
Although Reif did not dislike this kind of life, sometimes he really wanted to slightly raise his status in the family. He dared not say that it was higher than his children, but at least it should be higher than his wife's cat! Because of this, he had consulted many people. For example, Josh, who had many wives and concubines and so many children that he could form a small army. For example, Xiuge, who was promiscuous and had a conservative estimate of the number of lovers he had … But these people's methods were useless to him.
As for his best friend, Clito, he was only slightly better at being henpecked by his wife.
Reif usually discussed this matter with Clito. The two of them sighed and often used Wood as a reference. What henpecked husband? At least he still had a wife. At least he was better than Wood, that old bachelor.
Who knew that he was a master? Once he made a move, it would be earth-shattering!
After more than ten years, he was still able to make his old lover fall head over heels for him. Once she found a chance, she would not hesitate to abandon her family and children to find him and spend the rest of her life with him. What a strong charm!
Compared to him, Josh was just a crude person, and Xiuge was a lecherous dog. As for Reif and Clito, they did not even have the qualifications to be used as negative examples!
At this moment, Reif Kavat was really looking at Wood with a look of worship in his eyes.
Seeing him so agitated, Wood felt a little dazed.
Even an ace spy would not have seen such a scene in the past!
But Wood was after all a professional. He quickly understood Reif's thoughts and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Why would you have such a ridiculous delusion? What do you mean by abandoning her husband and children to find me! What kind of person do you think she is?! "
"Ah? Isn't that the case? "
"Of course not!" Wood sighed and explained the 'background' of Bei Feng in detail.
When Wood said that Bei Feng had been sent to Cape Town in the far southwest of the main plane to get married, and that the person she was married to was a sea merchant who spent 11 months of the year outside, Reif could not help but sigh in sympathy.
When Wood said that the sea merchant had died and Bei Feng had sold off all his assets to pay off the debt, Reif could not help but nod his head repeatedly.
When Wood told the story of how Bei Feng had sold off all his remaining belongings the moment he received news of his disappearance, he could not help but look at Wood with a look of worship in his eyes.
Finally, Wood said that they had just registered their marriage at the city hall and were preparing to hold the wedding the next day.
"Don't worry! I'll definitely be there on time! "Reif was so moved that his eyes were practically sparkling with stars.
Then, he urged Wood not to be so anxious. Many people would not be able to make it in one day.
"I didn't intend for the wedding and banquet to be very grand," Wood said. "You also know that her status is not ordinary. If it's too eye-catching and the old man finds out … "
"What's there to be afraid of?!" Reif's eyes widened again. As a miner, he had never been afraid of anything. Back then, he had dared to fight an earthly demonic beast to the death with a magic pickaxe and even killed it!
"Isn't that just an earl? What's the big deal! "He advised." You're no longer the bard that he could pinch at will. Now, you're a great artist of the Republic of Northwest. You have a few Legendary Masters among your friends. When you were sick, even Grand Consul Felix came to visit you … He's just an earl. You're at least on equal footing with him now. What's there to be afraid of? "
Wood was stunned. He had never thought about this before.
Unknowingly, he had actually become a big shot?
He was silent for a while and shook his head with a bitter smile.
"Forget it. It's best that those things that happened more than ten years ago leave us forever. If that old man gets the news and causes trouble again, even if it doesn't cause any losses, at least it will make us feel very uncomfortable, "he said. "It's not easy for us to be together again. I want to live my life in peace and stability. I don't want to deal with those things anymore."
He paused for a while and said, "I think she doesn't want to be associated with the past anymore."
These words were said with sincerity and immediately convinced Reif. Even though he still muttered things like "this is too good for that stinky old man," he chose to respect Wood's opinion and did not say anything else.
But he did not know that in his heart, Wood could not help but sigh.
He was telling more and more lies to his friends. One day, when these lies were exposed, what should he do?
Reif and the others treated him well with sincerity. There was no falsehood or half-heartedness. They really treated him as a good friend, to the extent that they would go through thick and thin with him.
In the end … could he only repay them with a despicable betrayal?
For the rest of the day, he had a smile on his face as he visited family after family, but he was sighing in his heart.
On top of his head, Sui Xiong stared at him deeply, deep in thought.
