Chapter 222: Engagement Annulled, Rule-Level Treasure Soul Capturing Pearl! (Please Follow)
It was the Kunpeng Quasi-Saint, Yunxi!
The moment she appeared, the oppressive force that had been crushing Xiao Ye instantly vanished without a trace, his body restored to freedom, able to move as he pleased.
"Sister Yunxi, you still showed up after all," Nangong Siyao and Cheng Bingxi rushed over, their pretty faces full of secret delight, taking their spots by Xiao Ye's sides.
Mu Cheng and Song Xi'Er were visibly pleased, but worried on the inside.
*The Dean of Kunpeng was only at the Venerable Realm. Up against that old Quasi-Saint, she probably wouldn't have the upper hand.*
Yang Junming and Cheng Yi were overjoyed. *They couldn't make out the realm of the old man and thought he was just a Venerable. Now that Kunpeng's number one Venerable, Dean Yunxi, had arrived, the Ye Family's matchmaking was basically dead in the water for today!*
Red-haired Ye Fan's eyes lit up, *Damn, this woman was gorgeous, on par with the number one beauty of the Imperial Capital!*
The young masters from Imperial Capital forces were looking easy, not worried at all that the old man wouldn't be able to dominate, because he was a Quasi-Saint!
But the old man's face twisted, and he said, "Knocking your heads on the ground is not going to happen, we of the Ye Family are willing to relinquish the marriage contract with the Mu Family, Young Master, it's best we don't linger, let's head back."
The old man's words left the Imperial Capital contingent baffled, thinking they'd misheard.
Red-haired Ye Fan's face darkened, "Elder Zhe, why?"
The old man withdrew his Quasi-Saint pressure, and gave Yunxi a long, deep look, "That Quasi-Saint's strength is above mine!"
At those words, everyone's faces in the room changed dramatically, full of shock!
This indescribably beautiful woman was actually a Quasi-Saint! And stronger than Elder Zhe!
Mu Cheng and Song Xi'Er were also shaken. *Kunpeng Venerable had broken into the Quasi-Saint Realm, and what's more, had gone even deeper down that path!*
"Elder Zhe, you've got to be kidding! You're an old hand at this, our family's marriage pact with the Mu Family can't just be tossed," Red-haired Ye Fan didn't quite believe it.
The wrinkled old Elder Zhe sucked in a deep breath, his gaze nervous on Yunxi.
*He was a Quasi-Saint, but hadn't sensed Yunxi's energy at all earlier, hadn't noticed her presence.*
*Just that was enough to show that Yunxi's realm was above his!*
Yunxi withdrew all her pressure as well, and said, "I watched all of this happen, Old Master, kids should run their own business when it comes to marriage. You can't force love."
"Since the Mu family's daughter already has someone, why mess things up by force?"
The old Elder Zhe's heart skipped a beat, *So she had been watching everything! He cupped his fists, "That's exactly what I want."*
"Young Master, no way we can force this marriage now. If you're not willing to call it off, the rest is on you!"
He sent a secret voice transmission, "Young Master, the Mu Family girl is just one of your fiancées. The other nine top base cities, you've got a marriage contract in each one. Why cling to this one that's already fooled around with someone else?"
"Ugh!" Red-haired Ye Fan's body went stiff.
He looked at Mu Qingxue's exquisite, pretty face, reluctant to give up.
*He'd been checked by the family's Saint Realm ancestor and discovered he could contract with multiple Beast Girls!*
*Ten fiancées, and he wanted them all!*
Ye Fan took a step forward, facing Mu Qingxue, "Qingxue, I'm going to ask you one last time, are you really willing to throw away your marriage to the Ye Family for this guy?"
"You better think it through. If the marriage deal is off, the Mu Family stands to lose a powerful ally!"
"In business, in networking, in all aspects, the major families of Dragon Country will distance themselves from the Mu Family because of this!"
*He could see it now—Mu Qingxue wasn't into him, but the marriage involved way too many factors, so he decided to pressure her using pros and cons.*
*But how could Mu Qingxue be scared by talk like this?*
*Her father, Mu Cheng, told her a long time ago, the Mu Family never depended on anyone. Everything they'd gotten was thanks to their own strength—always!*
*The Mu Family wasn't as good as the Ye Family, but they weren't weak either!*
Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes were full of contempt, "Sorry, Young Master Ye, our Mu Family never longed to marry into the Ye Family!"
"And I, for one, will never be someone's marriage tool."
Then Mu Qingxue suddenly threw herself into Xiao Ye's arms, cheeks blushing as she said,
"Even if I didn't have someone I loved, I wouldn't sign a contract with you anyway. Besides, I already have someone, and he's the most brilliant, most handsome, most dashing young talent in the world!"
Xiao Ye touched his own face. *He was the most brilliant and handsome person in the world? Since when?*
*Wait, is this little minx trying to latch onto him? No way!*
Ye Family's Young Master Ye Fan's expression was dark and cloudy.
The old Elder Zhe sent a voice transmission, "Young Master, from what I observed, the Mu Family's girl has already lost her virginity—she's not worthy of you anymore."
Ye Fan thought back and, yeah, that did seem true!
When Mu Qingxue walked in front of everyone, she walked with a strange gait!
*Anywhere else, people might think she was injured, but here, seeing her cozy up to that guy, it was easy to assume they'd crossed the line.* The M|V|LE&MPYR team worked hard on this chapter.
*Looking at her gorgeous, flawless face, but knowing her body was soiled, Ye Fan's impression of her dropped straight below passing!*
"Hmph! So you're really that kind of shameless woman."
"Elder Zhe, let's go!"
Ye Fan felt jinxed, storming out in a huff.
The other young masters from the Imperial Capital exchanged looks. *What the hell just happened? What does he mean, shameless?*
But with their boss gone, they followed out.
The old Elder Zhe threw a guarded glance at Yunxi, then said to Mu Cheng, "Mu Cheng, the marriage contract between the Ye Family and Mu Family is void, but don't forget—it was your Mu Family that broke the promise. Watch out for everyone's ridicule!"
The old man swept up every engagement gift in City Lord's Hall, went back outside to his floating pavilion, and rode the nine Flood Dragons, Shield Void, into the sky.
The sports cars and Hydra Supreme Demon Beasts left as well.
And just like that, the Ye Family left, their proposal in ruins, retreating back to the Imperial Capital.
In Xiao Ye's mind came the System's icy voice, [Congratulations host for completing the task] [Reward has been automatically distributed and placed in the system space].
Xiao Ye beamed, *The Soul Capturing Pearl was finally his!*
*Next, he needed to bind the Soul Capturing Pearl and find a private spot to talk about life with Mu Qingxue.*
"Pa!" Xiao Ye slapped Mu Qingxue's skin drum, "Hey, they're all gone. How long are you gonna keep hugging me?"
"Ah!" Mu Qingxue yanked her head up and looked around; Ye Fan and his group were really gone, but all eyes left in the room were on her.
In an instant, she felt like she died of embarrassment, her pretty cheeks flushing crimson.
"Ahem, ahem," Mu Cheng spoke up, "Xue'Er, save the cuddling for tonight under your blankets—let's skip the flirting and groping in front of everyone."
Xiao Ye chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Uncle Mu's right. We'll crawl under the covers tonight, cuddle all you want."
Mu Qingxue shot him a furious glare, *Like hell I'm getting in the covers with you!*
Mu Cheng looked over at Yunxi, gratitude on his face, "Kunpeng Venerable—no, Kunpeng Quasi-Saint, thank you for stepping in."
Yunxi waved her hand, letting the temperature return to normal, "No worries. Things are settled here, I'll be off."
In a flash of white light, she was gone.
But in Xiao Ye's ear, Yunxi's secret voice sounded out, "You bastard, you sure are lucky with the ladies. Careful, when Yun Bing gets back, she'll beat you up."
"And, since I helped you so much, you'd better give me a nice reward when you get back. If I don't get a few massages and a few hundred liters of golden blood, I'll be very, very disappointed!"
Xiao Ye's face turned dark. *A few massages, fine. But a few hundred liters of golden blood—are you trying to squeeze me dry?*
