Chapter 241: Forming the Covenant! (Seeking to Follow)
The host looked at Xiao Ye and asked, "Xiao Ye, do you admit and accept Mu Qingxue as your fourth wife?"
Whoa!
The audience was in an uproar, totally blown away. They all felt like this was something new. These kinds of questions, they had never seen before. In the age of Beast Girls, this was absolutely unique!
Xiao Ye answered with a smile, "I do!"
The host asked again, "You are to care for your wife with gentleness and patience, cherish her, and welcome her into your big Beast Girl family. You should respect her family as your own, fulfill your duty as a husband for life, and never let her down. You must walk side by side with her, just like you do with your other three Beast Girls, train together, fight together, and grow together. In front of everyone, do you promise to do so?"
Xiao Ye was silent for a moment.
*Mu Qingxue grew anxious inside, *Damn it, hurry up and say yes already.*
Mu Cheng twitched at the corner of his mouth, his fists clenched unconsciously. He looked a little angry, but also a bit anxious.
He was angry because Xiao Ye already had three Beast Girls; he didn't want his daughter to be treated badly after getting married. But he was anxious, worried that Xiao Ye might back out, that the Mu Family would lose this mythical-level son-in-law, and he was also scared that the old ancestor would lose it and beat him up after the fact.
The host asked again, "You are to… fight together, grow together. In front of everyone, do you promise to do so?"
Xiao Ye glanced at Cheng Bingxi, Nangong Siyao, and Liu Ya, who were sitting on the dais. The three of them looked back at him with calm smiles, showing no sign of anger or jealousy.
Cheng Bingxi caught his gaze and gave him a gentle smile, then nodded with her flawless chin.
Nangong Siyao playfully winked at him and stuck out her tongue.
Liu Ya curled her lips, but the angle was so exaggerated it seemed almost creepy—what, was she doing a crooked-mouth meme?
Xiao Ye understood, so he answered the host's question,
"I do! I am willing to accept Mu Qingxue as my fourth wife, and let her live with me and the other three Beast Girls. No matter what the situation, I will train with her, fight alongside her, and grow together with her!"
Mu Qingxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Cheng glanced over at the three Beast Girls nearby, his face darkening as he sighed, thinking to himself,
*Xue'Er's place in Xiao Ye's heart clearly isn't as high as the three Beast Girls. After the contract, she'll have to work hard to catch up.*
The questions for the groom ended, and the host turned to Mu Qingxue and asked, "Mu Qingxue, are you willing to marry Xiao Ye and become his fourth Beast Girl?"
Fourth Beast Girl? *This bastard really had a lot of luck with women.*
Mu Qingxue bit her lip hard. After struggling for a few nanoseconds, she answered, "I am willing!"
The host asked again, "Are you willing to marry him at the age of twenty, be gentle and dignified, submit to him, respect and love him, help him, and live together with his three Beast Girls? You should respect his family as your own, do your best to be filial, fulfill your duty as a wife for life, stay faithful to him, and get along harmoniously with the other three Beast Girls, becoming like sisters. In front of everyone, do you promise to do so?"
Whoa!
The audience went wild—these explosive questions, no matter how many times they heard them, always turned their worldview upside down.
*Damn, this is really opening my eyes!*
At the same time, doubts popped up in their minds. *Would the bride really agree to this? Being the fourth Beast Girl meant she wasn't the only one, and the groom wouldn't devote much attention to her.*
Mu Qingxue bit her lip so hard she almost drew blood. "I do. I, Mu Qingxue, am willing to marry him at age twenty, accept and acknowledge Xiao Ye as my husband, live with him and the other three Beast Girls, train together, fight together, and grow together!"
"Clap clap clap! Clap clap clap!"
The crowd burst into thunderous applause, their eyes filled with blessings.
The host smiled and turned to the row of seats behind the dais, asking, "Madam Cheng, Second Madam Nangong, Third Madam Liu, do you accept Fourth Madam Mu Qingxue?" The canonical source for this content: M|V|L2EMPYR.
Mu Qingxue's nerves tightened. If she remembered right, there was at least one Beast Girl who really didn't want to see her here.
Xiao Ye tensed up as well.
Cheng Bingxi, Nangong Siyao, and Liu Ya all spoke in unison, "We do."
Mu Qingxue couldn't help the small smile that played at her lips.
*Xiao Ye felt conflicted—happy, guilty, and grateful all at once.*
*They were so understanding that he felt a little pain in his heart.*
The vow segment ended and it was time for the contract ritual. The host, well-versed in the procedure, looked serious and said,
"So next, under everyone's witness, the groom and bride will begin the contract ritual!"
Xiao Ye found the red wedding veil on Mu Qingxue's head was in the way, so he reached out to remove it, but the host stopped him, "Don't rush, groom, lifting the veil is something to do in the bridal chamber."
"Is that so, got it." Xiao Ye scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes glared at him as she secretly transmitted, "Xiao Ye, you're my husband now. Don't act so clueless and do something so childish. You're embarrassing me—please be more mature!"
Even with the veil, as someone at peak Grandmaster Realm with spiritual power overflowing, she was super sensitive. The veil couldn't block her vision at all.
"Uh." Xiao Ye was helpless. *This little chick was acting proud again.*
*But no worries. Once the contract was done, he told himself he'd punish this little chick.*
*Signing the contract was basically getting the marriage certificate—after that, they could do whatever they wanted and no one could say a thing!*
*Oh right, there was the bridal chamber, too!*
*He'd make sure to really teach her a lesson there.*
*At that point, no matter how loud she screamed or how pitiful she sounded, even if things got wild, nobody would say a word, and both families wouldn't stop them.*
*In fact, people would think it meant they were truly in love!*
For the contract ritual, all they had to do was hold hands, start the template, and sign the contract on it.
Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue raised their hands, fingers interlacing and locking tightly together.
Just then, a melodious but rather cool voice rang out from the audience, "Wait!"
Whoa!
Everyone turned to look. The voice belonged to a tall, slender, and stunningly beautiful woman in a bulky white robe—a total goddess.
It was Kunpeng Supreme Yun Bing, Devil City's number one in both combat and supremacy!
What did she want?
A question popped up in everyone's mind.
Yunxi looked at Mu Qingxue on stage, her delicate brows furrowed, her face stoic.
*That's the spot Yun Bing should be standing in.*
*But things change—what was supposed to be Yun Bing's spot was now taken by Mu Qingxue.*
As Yun Bing's twin sister, Yunxi felt pretty pissed for her.
Looking at the Quasi-Saint who looked about ready to explode, Mu Cheng got a bad feeling, secretly sending a message, "Quasi-Saint Kunpeng, could you give me some face? If you have any complaints, save them for later. I guarantee I'll make it up to you."
"Hmph!" Yunxi vanished in a flash, leaving the scene.
Everyone exchanged glances. What just happened?
Xiao Ye was baffled too. *What was up with Yunxi? Was she mad? But what could she possibly be mad about?*
The host cleared his throat, "Ahem, since there are no objections, the contract ritual proceeds as scheduled. Groom and bride, please begin the ceremony."
With that, Xiao Ye and Mu Qingxue, watched by everyone, joined hands and successfully signed the contract.
