Chapter 124: Calling to Account

Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Calling to Account

However, Ye Yunyi wasn’t going to worry about all that. If they were giving him things, he’d just take them.

Was he supposed to refuse?

The next moment, a voice rang out.

"Lord Ye, we are the Rose Clan from the West. We have come this time because our Patriarch wishes to befriend you. This is Sovia, a direct descendant of our clan. We hope to form a marriage alliance with you."

His interest piqued, Ye Yunyi looked over.

Then, he froze for a moment.

’Is that... the Golden Lion King?!’

A Western beauty!

He had received a Western beauty back when he conquered the Mighty Barrier!

That day, Ye Yunyi had experienced the unique feeling that came with a Western beauty.

A beauty completely different from that of Eastern women.

How should he put it?

Setting aside looks and figure,

the feeling itself was just vastly different!

They were more passionate and open!

Eastern beauties, on the other hand, were shyer. Each had their own unique charm!

Listening to the introduction from the person beside her, the young Western woman’s lively eyes turned to Ye Yunyi. Seeing his handsome face and the respect so many people around him showed, a blush crept onto her cheeks.

But she still gazed at him boldly.

"The Rose Clan, is it?" Ye Yunyi beckoned with his hand.

He then called the members of the Rose Clan over.

Ye Yunyi looked at Sovia with a smile and immediately took her hand.

The moment he touched it, her small hand felt as if it were boneless and delicate.

And her skin... it could truly be described as white as snow.

"So, you are friends from afar. Since you’ve shown such sincerity, I accept. Help me thank your Patriarch. If I ever go to the West in the future, I might just pay a visit."

"We should get to know each other better. I particularly enjoy interacting with Western beauties, and I’d like to learn more about the West of today."

Ye Yunyi said, looking at the people next to Sovia.

Hearing his words, the group nodded.

They hadn’t expected it to go so smoothly.

They had originally thought Ye Yunyi would only deal with them after all the other patriarchs, but to their surprise, he addressed them first.

However, their Rose Clan was no small family in the West; they were likely much more powerful than these other families. So, it made sense that Ye Yunyi would agree to their proposal first.

Nearby, Zou Kai’s mouth twitched as he listened to what Ye Yunyi had just said.

’What the?!’

’Since you’ve shown such sincerity, I accept?’

’Is this how you’re supposed to put on airs?’

’Huh?!’

But then, Zou Kai sighed. ’This guy... he really is a wife-collecting maniac. He shows absolutely no courtesy to those who come offering!’

Of course, the other party wasn’t being polite with Ye Yunyi either, having sent over their family’s beauty.

As he thought this, Zou Kai’s mind turned to his own little sister. ’In the future, I have to tell my sister to stay far away from people like this. The guy is just too shameless.’

’She has to stay far, far away!’

While Zou Kai was lost in thought, the patriarchs standing nearby grew anxious.

After all, they had arrived first, but now a clan from the West had cut in front of them.

They immediately crowded around Ye Yunyi, their anxiety palpable.

"Lord Ye, what about my daughter?"

"Lord Ye, my little girl is so lovesick she can’t eat or drink. You see..."

"You must take my daughter with you."

........

Seeing the patriarchs’ anxious faces, Ye Yunyi waved his hand. "Everyone, no need to rush. I understand what you all mean. Let’s proceed as before and sign the marriage contracts first."

Hearing this, the patriarchs were overjoyed.

This was exactly what they wanted.

They then happily signed the marriage contracts with Ye Yunyi.

A short while later.

Ye Yunyi held a new batch of marriage contracts in his hand.

Then, looking at all these beauties, Ye Yunyi thought, ’It seems my power and influence will increase significantly in the future.’

Watching from the side, Pan Gongsheng’s mouth twitched. So many families were trying to curry favor.

’Could this be considered a blessing in disguise? At least my daughter got in ahead of the children from these other families.’

As he was thinking, someone came up to his side.

"Patriarch, I just remembered something."

"Hmm? What is it?"

Pan Gongsheng’s mood wasn’t completely shattered by the prospect of giving ninety percent of his family’s assets to Ye Yunyi anymore; he was actually feeling a small sense of relief and good fortune.

Being interrupted now, he turned to look.

"I recall you previously contacted the Jiang Family and reached a verbal agreement to marry Lady Pan Xuechun to the Jiang Patriarch’s son."

’Oh?’

Pan Gongsheng instantly remembered. In his extreme terror earlier, how could he possibly have recalled such a thing?

Immediately, Pan Gongsheng clamped a hand over the man’s mouth, his face a mask of undisguised threat.

"Say no more!"

"Go to the Jiang Family right now and tell them it’s off!"

"And explain the situation. Even they won’t dare to say a thing!"

After hearing this, the man hurried off.

Pan Gongsheng also returned home to oversee the preparations for the wedding that evening and the inventory of resources.

No mistakes could be afforded.

「A short while later, at the Jiang Family estate.」

The Jiang Family Patriarch, Jiang Ming, and his son, Jiang Kun, were sitting in the courtyard.

Jiang Ming looked at his son. "In a few days, I will go to the Pan Family to formally propose. Then, Pan Xuechun can marry into our family."

"This Pan Xuechun is much better than the daughter from the Zheng Family I wanted to arrange for you before."

Hearing his old man’s words, Jiang Kun’s face lit up with excitement.

After all, his father really understood his tastes.

The young women from both families were, in fact, stunning beauties!

With their slender figures, it was no exaggeration to call them beautiful enough to topple nations.

But the Pan Family was different now. With their Patriarch cured of his poison and his strength restored to the Early-Star Stage, the Pan Family could once again be called a first-rate family in the Cyan Ink Barrier.

The Patriarch of the Zheng Family was only at the Late-Diamond Stage, a whole tier below the Pan Family.

’So, my apologies, beauty from the Zheng Family.’

As Jiang Kun thought this, his anticipation grew. ’After all, with Pan Xuechun’s pretty little face and that body... wouldn’t she drive him wild with pleasure?’

Just as he was thinking this...

...a figure was brought in.

It was a member of the Pan Family.

The Jiang Family Patriarch stared at the man, stunned. "What’s wrong?"

"Our Patriarch sent me with a message. The verbal agreement he made with you is canceled. Our young miss is marrying someone else. The wedding is tonight."

BOOM!

Those words left both Jiang Ming and Jiang Kun utterly stunned!

They had just been talking about this!

How did things suddenly turn out like this?

Huh?!

Jiang Kun was even more frantic!

If Pan Xuechun was marrying someone else tonight, didn’t that mean he had completely lost all hope?

He had been fantasizing about the wonderful life ahead, and now, it was all shattered?

He immediately looked at Jiang Ming. "Dad! This—!"

Hearing his son’s cry and understanding his meaning, Jiang Ming’s face darkened. He glared at the Pan Family member before him. "What is the meaning of this?"

His words dripped with an accusatory tone, a clear demand for an explanation!
