Animal-eared Girl Era: Start by Forming a Contract with an SSS-Class School Belle-Chapter 199: Mu Cheng: You Are Engaged (Please Follow)
Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Mu Cheng: You Are Engaged (Please Follow)
The City Lord Mansion is an official force of Dragon Country. If the Hong Family wishes to establish martial arts schools in various base cities and obtain passes from the respective City Lords, they must first secure the procedures from the Modu Lord Mansion.
Should Mu Cheng intend to create obstructions, he could very well find it difficult to investigate and hold accountable the subordinate City Lord Mansions, causing them to revoke the issued permits for opening the Hong Family Martial Arts Hall.
Previously, Mu Cheng turned a blind eye, but now, he is bound to pursue the matter!
Not only that, but he will also personally visit the Hong Family, demanding an explanation face to face!
Mu Qingxue is aware of her father Mu Cheng’s thunderous methods. As his only daughter, the daughter-doting fanatic that is Mu Cheng will make the Hong Family pay a steep price. After finishing her complaints, she changed the subject and said:
"Dad, Mom, what did you want to see me for?"
She was a reincarnation from the Ancient Sacred Realm; however, she did not inherit the memories of her past life, only some skills and secret techniques. Through these skills and secret techniques, she knew a bit about her past life’s deeds.
Her emotions and experiences still belong to her current life as a 20-year-old young woman; her personality was not influenced by her past life.
Hence, there was no occurrence of estrangement or lack of affection towards her current family.
Upon hearing her, the expressions of Mu Cheng and Song Xier immediately became grave, as they seriously invited Mu Qingxue to take a seat, puzzling her greatly.
Mu Cheng smiled and started, "Xue Er, now that you are 20 years old, two years past adulthood, you are still single, not bound by any contract with the opposite sex."
Mu Qingxue understood instantly; they wanted her to establish a marriage contract with a man.
The handsome face of Xiao Ye flashed through her mind.
Ah, why am I thinking of that jerk? It’s impossible between him and me!
Then, Song Xier continued, "Indeed, the reason you haven’t entered into a contract with the opposite sex, we know why!"
"You must still be infatuated with that boy from the Imperial City, love at first sight that has lasted until now."
"We wanted to give you a surprise; in fact, when you were three, you already had a marriage contract with him!"
???
Mu Qingxue’s beautiful eyes widened with disbelief and astonishment filling her eyes overflowing with question marks.
Is this a surprise or a shock!
She opened her mouth, pointing at herself and said:
"Me? I already have a marriage contract, a fiancé?"
"I, Mu Qingxue, fell in love at first sight with some boy, and have been infatuated ever since?"
Bullshit.
Her disinterested attitude towards all men in this life stems from inheriting secret techniques and skills from her previous life, with experiences from being at the pinnacle of the Saint Realm. Practicing martial arts for her is like walking a path all over again; she is confident in reaching the Saint Realm alone.
Just like the supreme Kunpeng Yun Xi, who didn’t form a contract, cultivated in human form, and still became the unrivaled number one in Modu Base City with unmatched combat power, invincible among his peers.
She is confident that she can go even further than the supreme Kunpeng!
In her mind, there wasn’t a man in the world worthy of her!
Mu Cheng and Song Xier laughed, nodding their heads, "That’s right, you do have a fiancé. That young man is not simple; in Modu Base City you are the number one pride, but in Imperial Base City, you’d have to stand behind that boy."
"Prepare yourself mentally; in two days that boy will come to our City Lord Mansion with the bride-gift, formally engaging with you."
"You should dress up nicely, to make a good impression on your future in-laws."
The words from the two made Mu Qingxue’s eyelids twitch and the corners of her mouth tense.
Who would understand? Speechless, truly speechless!
The matchmaker’s words and parents’ orders are utterly ridiculous.
A strong dissatisfaction rose in Mu Qingxue’s heart; she could not possibly form a contract with a stranger.
In an instant, she said with a firm tone and decisively:
"Dad, Mom, I have absolutely no memory or impression of that boy, nor any love at first sight, I will not enter into a contract with him."
The smiles on Mu Cheng and Song Xier’s faces froze, they exchanged glances, surprised—Xue Er had no recollection at all of that boy.
The marriage arrangement was made over a decade ago. Although it was an oral agreement, with no marriage contract signed, as the Modu Lord Mansion, their words were like water that has been spilled, with no precedent of being retracted.
This oral marriage arrangement is not forgotten by the Ye Family, one of the Imperial City’s four major clans, who intends to offer a betrothal gift for the engagement, and the Modu Lord Mansion cannot shy away from it. ƒrēenovelkiss.com
The doting father Mu Cheng rubbed his brow in vexation. What should be done about this matter?
Song Xier also frowned deeply.
"Xue Er, when the time comes for the engagement, try interacting with him. Who knows, you might take a liking to him," Mu Cheng spoke.
Mu Qingxue shook her head vehemently. "Impossible."
Mu Cheng sighed and said, "The marriage has already been arranged, and without a suitable excuse, we cannot cancel it."
"There are currently two excuses and reasons."
"One is to use the fact that your realm is higher than his, and not wanting to bind a contract with someone weaker than you as an excuse to reject the marriage."
"Secondly, claiming you have a beloved, then finding him and proving that he surpasses the young man from the Ye Family, thus canceling this marriage arrangement."
Mu Qingxue asked, "What realm is that young man?"
Song Xier replied with a bitter smile, "Two-star Saint Realm, that young man is the number one prodigy among the younger generation of Imperial City."
"Hiss!" Mu Qingxue took in a sharp breath.
Having one Xiao Ye stronger than her was enough; now another young man from the Ye Family has emerged.
Mu Qingxue’s pretty face flushed, "I said, I cannot bind a contract with him, I won’t agree to an engagement in two days!"
Song Xier then inquired, "Do you have a beloved? Or a young man who caught your eye, someone you’ve had close contact with?"
Mu Cheng also looked on curiously.
A beloved?
Mu Qingxue was clueless; she had no beloved.
Nor anyone who caught her eye.
But close contact?
Mu Qingxue’s lovely face suddenly turned red, red to the tips of her ears.
In the Underground Crystal Mine, Xiao Ye had detoxified her, a process that took two to three hours—this should count as close contact, right? No, it was more than just close contact!
Ah, that scoundrel deserved to die, he took huge advantage of her, and afterwards he even dared to ask for a reward!
Remembering this, Mu Qingxue felt both shy and furious, her beautiful and delicate face alternately blushing and enraged, completely flushed.
!!!
Mu Cheng and Song Xier were astonished.
The two exchanged glances and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Xue Er has a beloved!
This conjecture was impossibly off, due to Xue Er’s reaction; she definitely had a beloved!
It was the first time they saw such a lady-like bashful reaction from Xue Er!
Filled with indignation, Mu Cheng demanded, "Xue Er, speak! Who is the guy that has stolen my precious daughter’s heart?"
Song Xier rolled her eyes at him, "What kind of question is that?"
Then Song Xier walked over to Mu Qingxue and kindly asked:
"Xue Er, why don’t you bring your beloved to meet us, and in two days when the Ye Family comes to offer the betrothal gift, we will be able to reject them."
Mu Cheng nodded and said, "Right, I’m also very curious, which little guy has captured the proud heart of my daughter."
Mu Qingxue was stunned.
Since when did she have a beloved?
Xiao Ye?
