Chapter 462: Chapter 461: The Fairy from the Moon Palace

"So he’s Ye Feng... Divine Doctor Ye?" It was as if Jiang Tao had been struck dumb. He froze, utterly stupefied. A long moment passed before he finally came to his senses. He walked over to Ye Feng and spoke, his voice thick with shame:

"I was shallow. For my insolence, I apologize to you!"

With that, he performed several resounding kowtows—THUD, THUD, THUD—then rose and said, "Divine Doctor, I won’t disturb you any longer. Farewell!"

Then he quickly departed.

Just then, Huo Chao came before Ye Feng, saying with embarrassment, "My boy, I was blind. I underestimated you. Please, you mustn’t hold it against me!"

From behind, Ye Lingtian let out a hearty laugh. "He’s your son-in-law. So what if you said a few words to him?"

It dawned on Huo Chao, and he nodded eagerly. "Yes, yes! He’s my son-in-law!"

Then, looking at the butler beside him, he shouted urgently, "Quickly! Make the arrangements! We’ll hold their wedding tonight!"

Ye Feng was utterly dumbfounded. ’A wedding? Just like that?’

At that very moment, a woman’s angry voice erupted from the doorway:

"Dad, I know you want Grandfather to recover quickly, and I do too. But you shouldn’t use me as a bargaining chip! You’ve already promised me to Brother Feng. In my heart, I already belong to him. In this life, I will marry him and no one else!"

With these words, a young woman stormed in, fuming.

Ye Feng turned to look at her. She stood there, tall and elegant. Without a trace of makeup on her face, she was pure, lovely, and breathtakingly beautiful.

Even Ye Feng, accustomed as he was to beautiful women, was taken aback by her exceptional beauty.

Seeing Ye Feng’s transfixed gaze, Ye Lingtian chuckled from behind him. "It’s settled. This is settled!"

At that moment, the girl spotted Ye Feng, and her eyes instantly brightened. She took several quick steps, stopping in front of him to grab his wrist, and cried out excitedly:

"Brother Feng, is it really you? You finally came to find me. You’re finally here!"

A joyous smile bloomed on her face, but in the next instant, it was bathed in tears.

"You’re... Qingzhu?" Ye Feng asked hurriedly, looking at the peerless beauty before him.

The young woman nodded quickly, then turned to face Huo Chao and declared, her voice firm as iron, "Father, I’ll say it right here and now: in this life, I will not marry anyone but Brother Feng!"

Huo Chao beamed and said, "Excellent! I agree!"

Huo Qingzhu froze for a moment, then it quickly dawned on her. In the next instant, she threw her arms around Ye Feng and cried out excitedly:

"Brother Feng, did you hear that? Dad agreed to our marriage! He agreed!"

The next moment, unable to contain her emotions, she began to cry tears of joy.

Ye Feng’s hands hovered awkwardly at his sides; he didn’t know where to put them. He looked at Huo Qingzhu, cleared his throat, and said:

"But Qingzhu... I... I’m already married..."

Before the words were even fully out of his mouth, Huo Qingzhu suddenly straightened up. She stared at Ye Feng, and a moment later, a wretched smile twisted her lips.

"Brother Feng... all these years, I’ve waited for you, keeping myself pure. I never thought... you don’t like me at all. You don’t want me!"

Then, she murmured, "That’s right. How could a crude person like me ever be worthy of Brother Feng? I was getting ahead of myself."

With that, she stumbled away, heading for the door.

Ye Lingtian glared at Ye Feng and yelled, "Ye Feng! This girl has a fiery, unyielding personality. If you reject her, she’ll absolutely try to take her own life! Are you just going to stand there and watch her die?"

All the fight went out of Ye Feng. Blushing, he could only call out, "Qingzhu, if you won’t hold it against me... I accept."

Everyone roared with laughter.

Someone came over and gently escorted Huo Qingzhu away.

Ye Feng turned his head, only to see Long Xi’Er standing off to the side, smiling silently.
