Ninth class citizen

Chapter 406 The Best Melissa

The head of the Child family let out a cold snort of anger: "You found out the identity of the bettor?"

"The betting location is a mining planet in the Alberta system. That planet is the private property of a mid-sized family, and the newly appointed head is named Payne. As long as we keep it clean, no one will know."

"Do you know whose property the entire Alberta system is? And I met this Mr. Payne you mentioned just a few days ago."

"Who did this nobody go through to be summoned by Father?" The second young master was extremely surprised.

"A summons? No, I was the one who approached him and spoke to him!" The head of the Child family's face darkened. "You probably don't know, do you? His Majesty the President's special assistant is named Payne Richie!"

The second young master blinked a few times, then suddenly realized something.

"Impossible, right? He was probably just representing himself."

"Forget it." The head of the Child family was speechless for a moment. "It's been delayed for too long. The money must be raised by tomorrow night and transferred as soon as possible—I will personally follow up on this matter. As for you, just be your playboy and don't get involved in family affairs anymore."

That evening, Nan Rong, who was already dizzy and disoriented from the wedding ceremony officials sent by the Presidential Palace, suddenly received a notification from the AI.

In preparation for tomorrow's wedding, she has come to Glory Star, where Tian Li has moved to a manor under her name.

Tianli insisted on making a big fuss over a wedding that could have been kept simple, with the ceremony manuals brought over by the etiquette officer alone being a thick stack.

After repeatedly expressing his opposition to no avail, Nan Rong began to become passive and apathetic.

Anyway, she can disappear at any time, and even if the etiquette officer runs until his legs are sore, he can't catch up with her.

But she didn't expect that Tianli would use another method to lure her into submission.

"Ding! Your Majesty, President Tian Li of the Federal Federation, has transferred 10 trillion Cowen to you. The following is the transfer message from the recipient: Dowry."

The term "betrothal gift" is not commonly used in the Delin Federation. However, for Nan Rong, who had read a vast number of books in the library and learned about the customs and cultures of multiple smaller planes, its meaning was not difficult to understand.

Even if she couldn't understand it, it didn't stop her from sweeping away the pent-up frustration in her heart and happily counting the numbers in her account.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleventh.

Although Cowen coins are just a string of numbers to Nan Rong right now, his love for them is still deep in his bones and will probably never change in this lifetime.

It's only a day or so, just bear with it and it'll pass. Getting so much Cowan in return isn't a bad deal.

"Have you tried on the dress?" Someone appeared silently behind her.

"No." Nan Rong slumped into the sofa chair, making excuses for her laziness: "It looks right at first glance, no need to waste time."

The person behind him frowned almost imperceptibly: "Don't you like it?"

Without waiting for Nan Rong's reply, he lightly flipped his hand, and rows of magnificent formal dresses and robes were laid out in front of her.

Red, golden red, golden purple, black and red, pure white, milky white, white with gold trim—hundreds of different colors.

The styles are mostly multi-piece robes with full embroidery, and the skirts extend for more than ten meters, which is completely different from the wedding dresses that are currently popular in the Delin Federation.

This style of clothing is somewhat similar to that of the Cosmic Heritage Academy, only much more elaborate and ornate.

The gowns were hung on racks made of golden sandalwood, each paired with a complete set of jewelry in the same color, shimmering and radiant, all made of rare materials unique to the universe's heritage space.

Nan Rong couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"It's just part of the plan, there's no need to go to such lengths, is there?" she said, picking up a hair ornament made of Kunshan jade and examining it closely. She felt that it was extremely warm to the touch, and that it contained a faint, gentle energy fluctuation.

"They're just small, readily available items. Wearing them can, to some extent, enlighten and enlighten the mind."

So, is he indirectly criticizing himself for being stupid and needing these external things to help him? "Thank you so much." Nan Rong wouldn't turn down a benefit offered to him just because of a little pride.

Nan Rong originally thought that this person would just take a look and leave, but to her surprise, he slowly sat down and naturally instructed Jacob, who was standing by his side, to prepare a meal, indicating that he wanted to freeload here.

Although Nan Rong was not very willing, the other party was, after all, a major investor who had just paid ten trillion yuan to Cowen, so it would be too much of an inconvenience to not even provide a meal.

However, during the meal, she still subtly reminded the other person that in most planes of this universe, there is a rule that the couple should not see each other on the eve of their wedding.

But the person sitting opposite seemed not to hear, slowly and deliberately eating their meal, every movement elegant and pleasing to the eye.

No, you're an old monster who's lived for so many years, you don't need to eat at all, do you?
Nan Rong admitted that she understood this great demon king less and less.

Fortunately, this person didn't take advantage of her for nothing. Before leaving, he gave her a meaningful look, then casually pulled something out of his pocket and tossed it to her.

It's the Five Realms Exquisite Stone! Nan Rong was overjoyed instantly.

"You're such a kind person!" she said with a smile, then quickly returned to her room.

Having been given the "friend zone" card, Tian Li stood there for a few breaths, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, before finally curving into a faint smile.

Melissa's soul had been nourished in Nan Rong's spiritual sea for a long time, and later bathed in the brilliance of the "Theory of the Origin of the Universe," so it had already gained a lot of benefits and become solid and compact.

As the Five Realms Exquisite Stone was created by the Great Demon King, it is the most advanced container in the universe for holding souls, and naturally it also has a variety of magical effects.

The amnesia, weakness, and other unexpected events that Nan Rong had worried about did not happen. Almost at the same time that the Five Realms Exquisite Stone was inserted into the head, the doll opened its eyes and stared intently at Nan Rong with its beautiful lake-green eyes.

"Nan Rong," she said, "it's been a long time."

"How did you know? How long has it been?" Nan Rong heard her own trembling voice.

“Because I’ve always been here!” Melissa laughed. “Every time you enter my spiritual sea to see me, I can feel it. I can also hear what you say to me, but I can’t respond verbally.”

"The feeling was strange, like being in a daze, yet clearly knowing who I was and where I was."

Looking at that bright face, Nan Rong felt a weight lift from her heart. She looked directly into Melissa's eyes and said what she had kept hidden in her heart: "I'm sorry."

“You never need to apologize to me.” Melissa gently hugged her. “It was all my own choice, and it has caused you a lot of trouble. And this body is so much stronger than the previous one; it must have taken a lot of your effort, right?”

The two of them held hands and crawled under the covers, chattering away all night long.

They were using higher-dimensional bodies, so none of them felt tired.

Top-tier dolls can eat normally, and food is automatically converted into energy to support the body's functions.

Even if it doesn't eat, it doesn't matter. The secret runes densely distributed within the doll's body will automatically absorb free particles from the universe, as well as energy from other substances, storing it for its own use.

Melissa was extremely satisfied with this body and happily accepted the bridesmaid invitation, which made Nan Rong overjoyed.

So when it came time to get her makeup done after the meal, she showed unprecedented patience.

The Federation's top makeup team moved into the manor a few days ago and designed hundreds of looks in advance.

Nan Rong let them do as they pleased for a long time, and with Melissa's help, she chose a white gauze robe with gold accents before walking out the door surrounded by the crowd.

Wearing a matching dress, Tian Li strode forward and put his arm around her shoulder.

His posture was as upright as a pine tree, and he wore a warm smile, which was completely different from his usual stern and imposing appearance.

The silver-white floating convoy had long been hovering outside the manor.

The wedding of the Federal President and His Majesty Nan Rong, the leader of the ninth-order evolution, began to be broadcast live simultaneously to the entire star system.
