Chapter 125: She Longed to Escape, but Couldn’t Get Away

Chapter 125: Chapter 125: She Longed to Escape, but Couldn’t Get Away

Jiang Ming’s voice was cold, his eyes filled with menace. He glared at the members of the Pan Family. ’Do they think the Jiang Family is a pushover?!’

’The Pan Family has a Star Powerhouse watching over them!’

’Well, so does the Jiang Family!’

’I, Jiang Ming, have just reached the Early-Star Stage!’

’Even if we’re not as strong as the Pan Family, the gap isn’t that wide!’

Seeing Jiang Ming’s words and attitude, one of the Pan Family members sighed and said plainly, "Our young miss is marrying Lord Ye!"

’Lord Ye?!’

In an instant, both Jiang Ming and Jiang Kun were stunned. ’What Lord Ye?!’

’We’ve never heard of him!’

"He’s the one—Lord Ye Yunyi! The man who single-handedly toppled the entire Hu Family, slayed Hu Xiang, and displayed his head at their gate!"

BOOM!

Just one sentence!

It struck their ears like a clap of thunder!

Their eyes went wide, unable to believe what they had just heard!

’What the hell!’

’So *that* Lord Ye!’

Immediately, Jiang Ming felt his legs go weak, all his earlier bravado completely gone.

After all, who was Hu Xiang? He was a Mutant who had been at the Early-Star Stage for a long time!

And his family’s foundation was immense!

The entire Hu Family had plenty of other powerhouses besides Hu Xiang!

If a family like that could be annihilated in such a short time, what chance did they have?

’In front of Ye Yunyi, we’re nothing but small fry!’

Seeing Jiang Ming’s attitude, a smile lifted the corner of the Pan Family member’s mouth. "Patriarch Jiang, I’ve delivered the message. I’ll be heading back now."

Then, the two of them watched the Pan Family members leave.

Jiang Kun’s mouth twitched.

’Damn it!’

’My bride was stolen right from under my nose!’

Jiang Kun’s eyes were filled with gloom, his face dark as water.

’Isn’t this just bullying?!’

’Using his strength to steal women, is that it?!’

’Fine, fine, fine!’

’Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west!’

’Don’t bully the young and poor!’

So he thought. But there was nothing he could do. The wedding was tonight. ’What am I supposed to do, take her back later when she’s secondhand goods?’

Then, he remembered. ’Don’t I have a backup?’

’The daughter of the Zheng Family!’

At once, Jiang Kun looked at his father. "Father, what about the Zheng Family’s daughter?"

Jiang Ming understood his son’s meaning.

"Alright, let’s pay a visit to the Zheng Family."

Although Jiang Kun was reluctant to give up on Pan Xuechun, he thought, ’At least I still have a backup, right?’

「A short while later.」

The two of them arrived at the Zheng Family’s residence.

Jiang Kun looked at Patriarch Zheng and got straight to the point. "Didn’t our two families discuss forming a marriage alliance before? What do you think? Shall we set a date?"

His words made Patriarch Zheng freeze for a moment.

Then he waved his hand. "You can’t just say things like that. When did we ever discuss a marriage alliance?"

’Huh?!’

"Didn’t we talk about it last time we were drinking? What is the meaning of this!"

Jiang Kun was furious. ’What is this guy trying to pull!’

"Ah! You can’t take words spoken over drinks seriously." Seeing Jiang Kun’s expression, Patriarch Zheng took out a marriage contract. "My daughter is already engaged to Lord Ye. So, you really can’t make such claims anymore."

Looking at the marriage contract, Jiang Kun’s mouth twitched!

’What the hell!’

’Ye Yunyi!’

’Ye Yunyi again!’

’Son of a bitch!’

’Not only did he steal Pan Xuechun, now he’s taking the Zheng Family’s beauty too?!’

Then, Jiang Kun froze. ’Wait a minute, what the hell? How can that guy get engaged to the Zheng beauty after marrying Pan Xuechun?’ 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

’He’s marrying two women?’

He immediately voiced his question.

"Lord Ye is exceptionally powerful, and many women flock to him. I’m afraid the number of peerless beauties at his side is already in the dozens. Many more are clambering over each other to form a marriage alliance with him!"

Patriarch Zheng explained.

This made Jiang Kun’s mouth twitch!

’What the actual fuck!’

’Dozens of beauties!’

’And more are constantly on their way!’

’A wife-collecting maniac!’

’If this isn’t a wife-collecting maniac, what is?!’

He never expected to run into someone like this!

’Dammit!’

’It’s like I said, thirty years east of the river, thirty years west!’

’You just wait!’

A while later, the two of them left the Zheng Family’s residence, dejected.

Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi had returned home.

The house was already being decorated!

’Looks like the big red lanterns are going up again!’

Next, Ye Yunyi sent out invitations to all the major families.

’How could I miss such a great opportunity?’

Ye Yunyi also wrote a special invitation for the Eighth King General.

Although the Eighth King General had given him good things, one more couldn’t hurt.

「That evening.」

Night fell!

Many Patriarchs arrived, bearing congratulatory gifts.

Bai Zhixi and Dongfang Ruoyu were at the reception area, accepting the gifts.

The smiles on their faces were unstoppable. Bai Zhixi was discovering more and more that she was really suited for this kind of work!

「A short while later.」

Zou Kai also came over.

He presented his own congratulatory gift.

Then he found Ye Yunyi and gave him another gift. "This is a wedding gift for you from the Eighth King General!"

Ye Yunyi opened it.

’Whoa!’

’What a grand gesture! Another Star Level Crystal Core!’

’Not bad, not bad at all!’

"She said she couldn’t make it and asked me to bring her gift to you."

As he spoke, Zou Kai felt a pang of heartache.

It wasn’t because of tonight’s gift!

It was because he knew Ye Yunyi’s character and had seen all those marriage contracts today!

’I’m afraid where there’s one, there will be two, and where there are two, there will be three!’

’If he’s a new groom every night, how could I possibly afford all these wedding gifts?!’

"By the way, back at the Cyan Flower Barrier, I told you that I’m the host here. So, why don’t you come over to my place tomorrow?"

Zou Kai invited.

Ye Yunyi thought for a moment and nodded. "It’ll probably have to be around noon tomorrow."

’After all, tonight, I have to properly punish this girl who dared to owe me a debt!’

’At the very least, I need to collect on all the debts she owes!’

’Of course, paying one’s debts is only right and proper. It’s a natural course of events.’

「A short while later.」

The grand banquet began.

Pan Xuechun also walked over.

Behind her!

It was Pan Gongsheng, leading a group from the Pan Family, bringing with them all the inventoried assets of the Pan Family.

All as a dowry!

Then, the reading of the list began.

Everyone present listened, their mouths twitching!

’Damn it all!’

’So many assets?’

’The Pan Family’s foundation really is substantial!’

And just like that, they weren’t just giving away a beauty, but their family fortune too.

However, no one dared to laugh at the Pan Family now. In fact, some from families without beautiful daughters even cast envious glances their way!

Ye Yunyi accepted it all without question.

「After the grand banquet!」

Ye Yunyi picked up Pan Xuechun in his arms and walked toward the innermost room.

"Tonight, you’re going to repay your debt properly!"

Ye Yunyi’s words made Pan Xuechun’s body tremble!

Her face was filled with an expression of fear!

After all, Ye Yunyi was a Star Level Mutant!

’She wanted so badly to run, but there was no escape!’
