Chapter 84: Marry Again

Chapter 84: Chapter 84: Marry Again

Lord Ye might not be tired, but they sure were!

They couldn’t take it anymore!

They had to prepare a wedding gift every single night!

The quality of their gifts was now visibly declining!

None of the other Diamond Powerhouses in the city were like this!

In that moment, they all felt that Lord Ye had become the very dragon he’d slain!

He was even worse than Zhao Kang!

But!

But!

How could they put it?

Zhao Kang had outright demanded things from them!

But in Lord Ye’s case, they were the ones giving the gifts!

The situations were completely different!

Sigh!

They were helpless!

"Everyone, we have to think of something!"

"If this keeps up, my family’s entire fortune will be gone!"

"I’m losing my mind!"

Patriarch Zheng looked around at the others, pleading for help.

The other patriarchs just sighed again and again.

What could they do?

They were at their wit’s end, too!

Only one patriarch actually had a smile on his face.

Patriarch Zheng stared, stunned.

"Old Yang, what are you so happy about?"

"How can you be smiling when we have to send so many gifts?!"

At his words, the other patriarchs also turned to look at Patriarch Yang.

They saw that he was, indeed, smiling.

"I was thinking of something happy."

Everyone: "..."

’You’re thinking of something happy?!’

’What could possibly make you so happy right now?!’

’Are you kidding me?!’

"Lord Ye is the one getting married every night, not you! What do you have to be happy about?"

Patriarch Zheng’s words were laced with disdain.

Patriarch Yang just chuckled. "My devastatingly beautiful daughter comes of age today."

His words!

It silenced the entire room. Then, all eyes turned to Patriarch Yang.

Their eyes were filled with disbelief!

’What did that guy just say?!’

’Could he be planning to...?’

’Huh?!’

Then, Patriarch Zheng stood up.

’That bastard.’

’Does he mean he’s going to marry his daughter to Lord Ye?!’

’If that’s the case, isn’t he just trying to ride Lord Ye’s coattails?!’

’And we’ll have to prepare another wedding gift!’

"Brothers, get him!"

As Patriarch Zheng shrieked hysterically, the other patriarchs shot to their feet!

...

「Meanwhile, in front of the garden.」

The members of the Hundred Flowers Alliance saw Ye Yunyi.

Then they looked at the girl he was carrying on his shoulder.

Many of the members fantasized about being the girl on his shoulder.

Ye Yunyi entered the garden.

Zhou Huaiwei and the others came over.

They were stunned to see him put down Yu Yan.

Then they saw she was even wearing a mask.

’What’s this?’

"Honey, is... is this a new sister?"

Zhou Huaiwei asked.

Ye Yunyi nodded.

Then he looked toward Bai Zhixi and Dongfang Ruoyu.

"You two should find her familiar."

Hmm?

Bai Zhixi and Dongfang Ruoyu looked confused. ’What does he mean?’

As he spoke, Ye Yunyi removed Yu Yan’s mask.

The next moment!

Yu Yan’s face was revealed to everyone.

’She’s beautiful!’

This was everyone’s first impression.

But then, Bai Zhixi and Dongfang Ruoyu realized something.

They immediately covered their mouths in shock.

’Isn’t this... Isn’t she one of the girls with a bounty on her head?’

’And not just any bounty—the one for a Diamond Tier Exotic Beast Crystal Core!’

’What! How did Honey capture her?!’

But then, Bai Zhixi remembered what Ye Yunyi had said earlier.

"Sister, we’re all family now!"

"Our husband is a very good man!"

"And very powerful!"

"You’ll see!"

At her words, Yu Yan froze. ’Family...’

That was a word she hadn’t heard in a long time.

’But this feeling... it’s so nice.’

"Come, we’ll show you around!"

The girls took Yu Yan by the hand and started showing her around the garden.

Bai Zhixi, however, sidled up to Ye Yunyi.

She had an expression on her face that was practically begging for praise.

"Hehe, Honey, praise me!"

As she spoke, she took out a large bundle. When she opened it...

It was filled with Golden Level Crystal Cores!

Whoa!

When Ye Yunyi was leaving the Poison Barrier, he’d seen all the Mutants gathered there and figured Bai Zhixi had auctioned off all the Antidote Medicine.

He just hadn’t expected her to get so much for them.

’This girl really has the blood of a merchant in her veins,’ he thought.

"Alright, next time I’ll reward you with a few more hours."

Bai Zhixi was speechless. "..."

Huh???

W-what?!

"Huh? Not enough?"

Ye Yunyi said with a wicked grin, seeing her expression.

"It’s enough! More than enough! You don’t need to add any more!"

Bai Zhixi said hurriedly, waving her hands in dismissal.

Ye Yunyi looked at these Crystal Cores.

Now that he had slain the giant snake, the poisonous fog would gradually dissipate over the next few days.

’Looks like I’ll have to sell off all the remaining Antidote Medicine tomorrow, most likely.’

’Time to make a killing!’

「Meanwhile.」

The Mutants who had won the auction for the Antitoxic Pills earlier today were returning one after another.

"How was it?!"

"Are there a lot of Crystal Cores inside the Land of Poison Barrier?!"

"Tell us something!"

...

The moment they returned, they were swarmed by a crowd of other Mutants.

Every one of them had eyes full of anticipation.

Amidst all the expectant gazes, a few of the returning Mutants grinned. "That place is a real treasure trove!"

"You can just pick up Crystal Cores everywhere!"

"The few of us who just focused on diligently picking up Crystal Cores covered our costs and even turned a small profit!"

As they spoke.

They showed off all the Crystal Cores they had picked up.

Everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief. They could hardly believe what they were hearing.

’It’s really just like everyone guessed!’

’There are really that many Crystal Cores?!’

’I’m so jealous!’

’So, so jealous!’

Not far away, the few Mutants who had greedily gone after High-Level Crystal Cores instead of collecting the ones on the periphery felt their mouths twitch.

Damn it!

Not only did they not make back their investment!

They lost big time!

Now, to have salt rubbed in the wound like this... they were absolutely sick of it!

"If I had known, I would have gone to the auction too!"

"Wow, I can’t believe it was really just like the legends said!"

"Then why did you guys come back so early?"

"Did the effect of the Antitoxic Pill wear off?"

...

Immediately, the Mutants all started talking at once.

One of the Mutants who had been inside the Land of Poison Barrier held up a hand, and the crowd instantly quieted down.

He sighed. "Our power just isn’t enough. We couldn’t go any deeper. I have a feeling that further in, there are definitely Late-Golden Stage... and maybe even Diamond Tier Crystal Cores!"

What?!

Diamond Tier?!

This!

Immediately, every one of them saw red with envy.

But then they calmed down.

They couldn’t venture that deep.

Besides, there were no more Antitoxic Pills to buy now.

Sigh...

「That night.」

In the garden.

The wedding began.

Yu Yan was dressed in red.

But her face was covered by a red wedding veil.

She walked slowly toward Ye Yunyi.

Her graceful figure and long legs were enough to make one’s imagination run wild.

Ye Yunyi thought.

’Early-Diamond Stage power, on top of that body and face.’

’This is going to be one hell of a battle.’
