I am rich in the fairy world

Chapter 786: Dou Family Patriarch
The next day, at dawn, the dueling arena in front of the city lord's office hall in the center of the city was packed.

The circular venue was slowly expanded with auditorium seats. Except for the upper seats, all other places were filled with people.

Hu Qing and the other three also grabbed a good spot before daybreak. Fortunately, she didn't plan to go to sleep, otherwise she would have come here just now and there would be no place to stand in the aisle.

The city lord this term is Jiang Jia. He sits in the best position in the center, which is the city lord's throne. There are two kinds of animal figures carved on the wide back of the chair, one is a bird and the other is a beast.

It was too abstract, and Hu Qing couldn't recognize what animal it was.

Members of both families were present, and the contestants sat in the front area close to the competition square.

After observing, Hu Qing came to the conclusion that although the magic patterns could not be removed, the wealthy families obviously had the means to make them look good. The women of these two families all had forehead makeup, some had gemstones and pearl slices on their faces, or simply wore all kinds of seductive tassel masks. In short, girls always had a hundred ways to become beautiful. The men did not cover their faces, but mostly made majestic patterns on the sides of their faces, preferring to let the magic patterns show their masculine charm.

"How do they make the magic patterns grow according to their wishes?" Hu Qing touched the area from the corner of his eyes to the edge of his hair. He used to think it was good to have such a pattern, like a mask, but now compared with others, it's nothing.

"There is ointment that can make the magic pattern grow in the same way, but it's very expensive." Shui Xin complained. The magic pattern on his face grew on one side of his face, at the end of his eye and on his cheek. He was very dissatisfied and wanted to adjust it. I didn't see anyone selling it in the castle before, so this time I came to the big city and planned to buy it.

"Buy." Hu Qing approved it.

The city lord stood up and there was thunderous applause. When the applause stopped, he was about to speak when suddenly a person flew in from the air, followed by another person, and then two people fell down.

The city lord was startled, and then went to greet the visitor in person. It seemed that the visitor was of high status.

Hu Qing looked at the halos behind the two women's heads and was speechless.

No need to ask, you can tell at a glance that they are from the Demon Moon Palace. They even have a moon halo on their heads. They have high curly hair, grand palace clothes, and heavy makeup. Oh, there seems to be some discord between those two.

Then people from the two families came forward to pay their respects. Hu Qing could tell that they were obviously the ancestors of the two families.

After they finished paying their respects, another person came down from the sky. He was a man wearing a mask, but the two people who came earlier saluted him politely, so he must be a person of higher status than them.

This man was also from the Demon Moon Palace, because there was a big moon embroidered on his clothes.

Another round of greetings.

The city lord did not dare to be arrogant in front of the three people, and temporarily set up a higher seat behind his throne.

The three of them had just sat down when they heard the sound of wild laughter getting closer, and someone else came.

Hu Qing was confused. Is the election of successor so lively?
The person who came this time no longer had the moon symbol on his body, but there was a black scorpion more than a foot long lying on his shoulder.

More than a foot long... Is it delicious?

People around were talking.

"Why are people from Shahai here too?"

"Are they trying to snatch people from the Demon Moon Palace?"

"Isn't the sand sea very far away from us? They can't recruit people to come to our side."

Hu Qing and the others looked at each other. Sand sea? This couldn't be the place where they settled.

The next second someone said that the sea of ​​sand was in the east of Doujiang City.

Oh, no, they came from the southwest.

The three people on the stage were also asking. The man with the magic pattern on his face that had grown into a scorpion tail asked the city lord to give him a seat alongside the three people. He leaned up lazily and said, "I just happened to be passing by and saw you coming down to say hello and join in the fun. You wouldn't be unwelcome, would you?"

He was asking the masked man. Man: "Then watch carefully and don't make trouble."

The scorpion-tailed man sneered, "It's just a small event. I'm not interested. But I want to go with you to your Demon Moon Palace. Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Hey, why don't you start?"

The city lord had nothing to say. In the previous election of successors, sometimes people from the Demon Moon Palace came and sometimes they didn't. Usually, the elders of their own family came back to take charge and look at the younger generation, so that the residents of the city could see the strength of the two families. Other high-level people from the Demon Moon Palace who had no connection with them rarely came.

This time, not only did a person who had to be respected by the heads of both families come inexplicably, but also a person from the Shahai who had no connection with them came inexplicably.

The city lord waited for a while, and seeing that there were no more accidents, he stepped forward and made the announcement.

As usual, there was an official speech at the beginning, which briefly talked about the glory of Doujiang City, thanked the ancestors, thanked Moyue Palace, and thanked the people. Then it talked about the importance of the city lord, and finally read out the rules of the competition.

Hu Qing heard it clearly, there was no limit to life or death. Moreover, it was a form of defending the ring, and the two families were doing it at the same time. In other words, one family was fighting, and the other family was defending. The first person to enter the ring had to persist until he was defeated.

Tsk, this is so unfair but so magical.

Next came the speeches from the heads of the Fighting Family and the General Family. Their speeches were not long and contained content to encourage their descendants.

Then came the highlight, with both sides announcing their first person to defend the title.

The whole place was silent, and Hu Qing couldn't help but become nervous.

She only stared at the mouth of the Dou family's patriarch, listening to him loudly say: "The first person to go to battle in the Dou family is: the eldest daughter of the Baizi generation, Dou Baiyan."

Dou Baiyan stood up, and her cold face could be seen through the veil.

Hu Qing took a breath of cold air.

man!

The patriarch of the Jiang family is not the current city lord. He looked at the patriarch of the Dou family suddenly, as if saying: Are you crazy?
The city lord's eyes were also deep, and displeasure was written on his face.

Hu Qing looked at the four distinguished guests. Well, they all had smiles on their faces, as if they hadn't heard anything. Of course, they were just guests. What opinions could they have?

The head of the Jiang family had a headache. Dou Baiyan's biological mother and stepmother were both his sisters. They were not compatible since birth, and who would have thought that they would marry the same person. However, it was hard to say who was closer or distant with the two sisters. After all, they were all competitors during their growth period, so he did not pay much attention to their children.

That's right, the Dou family's head pushed Dou Baiyan out first, which somewhat slapped the Jiang family's face. It's not like he didn't have children born to him by other women.

Moreover, this is the eldest daughter.

This guy is so shameless.

The head of the Jiang family announced that the first player on his side was a weaker one among the Jiang family's children, but it was just a formality, which was also agreed in advance. So the child went up to the ring calmly and even smiled at his brothers and sisters.

Dou Baiyan also smiled at her brothers and sisters, but that smile made their scalps tingle. After all, she had crushed the neck of the head of the family's wife with her own hands the day before.

The wife of the head of the household had several children, and they were so excited by her smile that they almost rushed forward, but were held back by others.

The defender goes up to the stage, and those who want to challenge go up. The one who stands at the end is the winner - no one is allowed to go up a second time.

The children who were fighting on the stage were not the stepmother's children. After they came on stage, they politely called each other "sister".

Dou Baiyan raised his eyes slightly and glanced at the head of the Dou family, his disdainful look was clear.

The head of the Dou family clenched his fists in an instant, and his expression became ferocious.
