Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

Victory celebration banquet.

The decorations were set up in the largest square, adorned with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.

Hundreds of low tables were arranged in a circle, and the place was bustling with people; every seat was taken.

Chen Nian sat in the banquet hall, along with Lu Ge and Tang Rou. As for Zhao Yixue, she did not want to give the princess any face.

The center is the stage used for performances.

Beautiful women singing and dancing, playing musical instruments and performing music, all took place in the center.

"Wow, I never expected to have the chance to enjoy such a traditional and elegant program..."

"Yes, it's really beautiful."

As the banquet progressed into its later stages, an old man suddenly walked to the center and spoke loudly.

"Gentlemen!"

"According to past practice, we would select a girl each month through a lottery ceremony to be sacrificed to the mountain god."

"But now that the mountain god has been eliminated, we no longer need him! However, the lottery ceremony can be replaced with something else."

"In the box on the left are the girls' names, and in the box on the right are the boys' names."

"I will be drawing lots on the spot later. If you are chosen, then it will be considered a destined connection!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, the guests erupted in deafening cheers.

Unexpectedly, the cruel lottery ceremony was transformed into a game to help people find love; it's quite interesting.

Lu Ge and Tang Rou were really into it; it was like watching a variety show, so much fun.

The old man first drew out a man's name.

"Yue Chao, please come to the center."

"To ensure fairness, you will draw the girl's name yourself."

The man indeed reached into the box and pulled out a girl's name. The girl then shyly stepped forward, and the two exchanged glances, seemingly about to become a couple.

The audience cheered loudly.

One couple after another appeared, and the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly lively.

"Next, let's see who it is? It's our hero, Chen Nian!"

"what?"

Chen Nian was stunned. He didn't expect to be selected.

Upon hearing this name, the audience's excitement was ten times greater than before!

"Go! Go! Go! Go!"

"Boss, just go for it. It's hard to refuse such a kind offer. You can always treat it as a game." Lu Ge chimed in from behind.

Forced by everyone's enthusiasm, Chen Nian had no choice but to walk to the middle.

"Just reach into the box and pull out a slip of paper that you like," the old man instructed with a smile.

Chen Nian had no choice but to reach into the box and pick up a piece of paper, handing it to the old man.

The old man took the slip of paper, his face beaming. "Let me see which lucky woman will be chosen by this hero?"

"Gu Qingyue! Good heavens, I never expected it to be Her Highness the Princess's name!"

Chen Nian: ?

Turning my head, I saw that the note indeed had Gu Qingyue's name on it!

Holy crap, what a coincidence!

At this moment, Gu Qingyue sat at the wooden table directly above, her face flushed with a captivating blush, her beauty breathtaking.

The crowd immediately erupted in excitement.

"Your Highness, Chen Nian has chosen you? What a perfect match!"

"Yes, Your Highness is kind-hearted and incomparably beautiful; a perfect match for a hero!"

"That's right, together! Together!"

"Your Highness the Prince Consort! Your Highness the Prince Consort! Your Highness the Prince Consort!"

Tang Rou couldn't help but cover her mouth: "There were so many names in that box, and the boss just happened to draw the princess's name, really..."

"I don't think it's that simple!" Lu Ge shook his head: "The names of the princesses should all be written on the inside of those boxes."

"Huh? But those people also drew different names before." Tang Rou blinked in confusion.

"Haha, they probably all have a note hidden in their sleeves. They're all just putting on an act to trick the boss into falling into their trap."

"I see......"

Chen Nian suddenly realized that he had never expected to be tricked.

The princess is so cunning!

Now that everyone is fanning the flames, she can use the excuse of conforming to public opinion to openly and legitimately approach him.

Gu Qingyue stood up and walked gracefully over, her face bright and beautiful, her bright eyes seemingly holding stars.

"Chen Nian, since everyone's so enthusiastic, let's go along with it..."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to your drama queen princess." Chen Nian shrugged helplessly and had no choice but to obey.

The old man picked up two cups of wine and said with a smile, "You two have gone through many hardships and are destined to be together. You've finally made it to this day. How about we drink a cup of nuptial wine together?"

"Here you go, my hero, take this."

"Your Highness, this is yours."

Gu Qingyue looked shy and timid, half-heartedly refusing to take the wine glass directly.

Just as she was pretending to be shy, a swift sword shadow suddenly shot from behind, directly knocking the wine cup into the air!

Chen Nian: !

Gu Qingyue: ?!

Everyone: ? ? ? !

Guard: Who?!

Amidst everyone's puzzled gazes, a graceful figure flew out from the crowd behind, her skirt billowing, and deftly caught the flying sword.

The sword blade caught the wine cup perfectly!

Even more amazingly, the spilled wine returned perfectly back into the glass.

This incredible skill immediately drew gasps of amazement from the audience.

But what's even more astonishing is the appearance of the girl who suddenly appeared!

Her long dress was stunning, and her features were exquisitely crafted, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes that seemed to sparkle with light. In terms of beauty, she was in no way inferior to a princess!

"Who is she...? She's dressed like one of us, and I've never seen such a beautiful woman in the city!"

"Yes... she looks so beautiful, she doesn't look inferior at all when standing next to the princess."

"If I could marry a woman like that, I'd be laughing in my sleep..." Some men even drooled.

Tang Rou and Lu Ge were stunned on the spot.

"Little Seven..."

"Damn, boss, this chaotic scene is inevitable!"

Chen Nian never expected that Su Jinyu would come here dressed in ancient costume.

She was undeniably beautiful, with a temperament and appearance that were comparable to a princess. He was stunned for a moment.

The guards had already surrounded them.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass on this victory celebration!"

"Put down your sword and surrender now!"

Gu Qingyue also realized that this girl was not simple, so she immediately took two steps back and did not speak rashly.

"Who am I? Hehe... You'll have to ask your great hero that question."

Su Jinyu deftly took the wine cup from the sword, swirled it in front of Chen Nian, and said with a smile, "Brother Chen Nian, weren't you going to drink the nuptial wine? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"Xiao Qi, this is just for fun, cough... don't take it seriously."

"Is that so? But it seems to me that this princess may not be taking it as a joke."

People were talking about it.

"Does this girl know a hero?"

"Haha, what a dashing and romantic hero! But what does it matter if such an outstanding man has three wives and four concubines?"

"Yes, only a hero is worthy of such a celestial woman!"

At this moment, Gu Qingyue finally couldn't help but speak up.

"Chen Nian, who is she?"
