Chapter 27: Bai Zhixi’s Important Announcement

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Bai Zhixi’s Important Announcement

The single sentence left the deputy stunned. Her eyes widened, and she could hardly believe what she had just heard.

What!

’What did the City Lord just say?’

’She’s... getting married?!’

’To whom?!’

’Huh?!’

’How could there be no warning at all!’

In an instant, ten thousand thoughts flew through the deputy’s mind.

Finally, after taking a moment to recover, she slowly asked, "City Lord... who are you marrying?"

"Ye Yunyi!" Bai Zhixi said, her face flushing slightly.

After all, being asked so bluntly was a little embarrassing.

Ye Yunyi!

’Ah, so it’s him!’

The deputy immediately slapped her forehead.

’Of course!’

’In all of Nebula Barrier, if there’s anyone who could capture the City Lord’s heart, it would have to be Lord Ye!’

"Alright, alright, hurry up and go. We’re running out of time." Bai Zhixi waved her hand, urging her to go and get things ready.

After all, her subordinate asking all these questions with that expression was making her feel a bit awkward.

"O... Okay." After agreeing, the deputy hurried out.

Once outside, a fond, knowing smile spread across her face.

She had originally thought the City Lord would never marry in this lifetime.

That she would live her life alone.

But!

Who would have thought!

’This was a straight-up critical hit!’

’To go from being single since birth straight to getting married?’

’So sudden!’

「Meanwhile.」

At the villa’s entrance, Zhou Huaiwei and the others were looking at the time, their faces filled with worry. After all, Ye Yunyi was heading deep into the forest this time.

There were powerful Exotic Beasts in there!

Although their husband’s power was formidable, they couldn’t help but worry.

Just as they were thinking this...

The next moment!

Little Heizi seemed to sense something and shot out of the villa!

His speed kicked up a whirlwind inside the villa!

He reached the yard!

One leap!

He crossed the courtyard!

Then vaulted over the fence!

And jumped out!

Huh?

The women stared, stunned by Little Heizi’s actions.

’What!’

’What’s happening?!’

They immediately got up and rushed outside the villa!

Outside, Ye Yunyi was riding the Wind-Chasing Leopard, rapidly approaching the villa.

In the next instant, the Wind-Chasing Leopard saw a black shadow leap out of the villa.

It was startled.

Its entire body screeched to a halt!

It came to a stop with a drifting whip of its tail!

Ye Yunyi: "..." ’What the hell are you afraid of!’

Then, he saw Little Heizi rushing toward him.

It leaped into his arms.

Ye Yunyi hugged Little Heizi, petting the dog.

’Geez, this guy sure is enthusiastic.’

Behind them, the women came out as well, happy to see Ye Yunyi’s return.

"Honey, you’re back safely!"

Zhou Huaiwei said.

She then welcomed Ye Yunyi back. "Did the mission go well?"

"Smoothly!" Ye Yunyi looked around and thought that he could inform the Mutants to continue with the grand banquet tonight.

’This tradition can’t be stopped.’

’From now on, it must continue every day until it becomes a habit!’

’However, the order needs to change a bit.’

After sitting in the villa for a while, he went out and found a few Mutants, telling them to spread the word.

「Evening.」

The grand banquet was about to begin.

Many Mutants were heading toward Ye Yunyi’s villa.

"Old Zhang, wasn’t it supposed to be your daughter’s turn tonight? What’s going on? Why the sudden postponement?" one Mutant asked, looking at Old Zhang.

A few other Mutants nearby were also confused and all looked at Old Zhang.

Old Zhang looked at the crowd, helpless.

’Don’t ask me!’

’How would I know?’

’Huh?’

’Isn’t this just ridiculous?’

"This is Lord Ye’s arrangement. It’s not like I can tell Lord Ye what to do, right?"

As Old Zhang spoke, he felt a knot of fear in his stomach. ’Could it be that Lord Ye doesn’t think my daughter is good enough?’

He was still hoping to become in-laws with Lord Ye.

’If this plan falls through...’

The other Mutants nodded as they listened to Old Zhang. After all, not only had Lord Ye displayed extraordinary power during the Exotic Beast Tide, but today, he had even tamed an Early-Golden Stage Exotic Beast, a Crimson Flame Tiger, as his mount.

Such power...

...was something they could never hope to match!

Not even close!

"Let’s not worry about it. Lord Ye is inviting us to a banquet, which is an honor. We should hurry over."

"Right, right!"

"But who exactly is Lord Ye marrying today?"

This single question stumped everyone.

"I haven’t heard Old Zhou or the others say it’s their daughter. I’m not sure!"

"That’s true. But never mind, we’ll find out when we get there!"

"Exactly. It’s not that we don’t care, it’s that we can’t do anything about it, right?"

...

The crowd walked and talked.

In the distance, many other Mutants were arriving in groups.

But they all shared the same confusion.

As they neared the villa, they saw it was decorated with lanterns and colored banners.

It was another festive scene.

「Nightfall.」

Everyone had arrived!

Looking at Ye Yunyi, dressed once again in a groom’s attire, many of the younger Mutants were envious.

After all, he was a groom every single night!

Who wouldn’t be envious!

However, no one knew who the bride would be tonight!

As the Mutants waited...

The next moment!

Outside the villa.

A figure appeared!

A phoenix crown!

And a wedding veil!

A festive red gown!

On her face, exquisite makeup!

Willow-like eyebrows and cherry-red lips!

Those lips made one want to steal a kiss at first sight!

Everyone stared at that face, made even more devastatingly beautiful by the makeup!

In an instant, the entire crowd was shocked!

Every single person’s eyes were wide, unable to believe who they were seeing!

’This!’

’Who is that?!’

’Huh?’

Over on their side, even Zhou Huaiwei and the others were dumbfounded!

They stared at the newcomer about to join their big family!

’Is that...?!’

’The City Lord!’

’Bai Zhixi?!’

’What?!’

"Holy crap! The City Lord?!" a Mutant couldn’t help but exclaim in a low voice, pulling everyone back from their shock.

Then, they saw Bai Zhixi, wearing the phoenix crown and wedding veil, walking forward step by step.

Ye Yunyi walked over and extended his hand. Bai Zhixi placed her small hand in his.

At that moment!

Everyone’s eyes were filled with shock.

No one had ever imagined that the one marrying Lord Ye tonight would be the City Lord, Bai Zhixi!!

This was just too astounding!

"With this, the two strongest people in our barrier are together."

"My God, how powerful will the child of Lord Ye and the City Lord be?"

"I can’t even imagine!"

...

The Mutants below all started discussing it animatedly!

On the stage, the ceremony was being held.

After the ceremony.

Bai Zhixi stood on the stage.

Looking at the surrounding Mutants without a hint of shyness, she straightforwardly linked her arm with Ye Yunyi’s.

"Next, I have a solemn announcement to make!"

Bai Zhixi said seriously.

Her words made the already tipsy crowd tense up.

No one dared to whisper another word; all eyes were on Bai Zhixi on the stage.

’What is the City Lord going to say?!’

’To be so serious!’
