The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Everyone was stunned when they heard what Chi Miao said.

You're really something else! Nothing's even started yet, and you've already invited the mother-in-law?!

You're such a natural at making friends!

When Chi Miao asked Rong Miao this question, Rong Miaoling hesitated for a moment.

She wasn't unaware of Xuan Ji's feelings; she knew that Xuan Ji harbored feelings for Chi Miao that went beyond friendship.

If Xuanji were to choose for herself, she would definitely choose Chi Miao.

She had wavered before, feeling that she had already lost her own happiness and couldn't choose to be with the person she loved. Should she let Xuanji make the choice herself?

But... Xuanji had no choice. If she didn't use demonic energy to cleanse her celestial fox body, she would mutate into a demon, completely lose her human consciousness, and become a monster that everyone hated.

She knew she was wronging Xuanji, but if anyone had to bear the guilt, she should bear it alone—it was her fault to begin with. She was the one who met Wenren Yin while drunk, and she was the one who was violated by the Heavenly Fox Demon Clan. Even though she knew the child in her womb had a problem with its bloodline, she still insisted on giving birth to it.

She had already planned Xuanji's escape route... Once Xuanji's demonic energy was channeled away, she would use her own death to divert public attention and stage a drama in which she had forced Rong Xuanji for a lifetime.

Then...let her die alone, burdened with sin and unbearable suffering.

Rong Miaoling closed her eyes, her gaze gradually turning cold. She was just about to continue making things difficult for Chi Miao.

But the next second, Wenren Yin suddenly spoke up: "A good girl like Xuanji will naturally be loved by many people. A beauty... the capable will get her. I agree to your forced marriage, but... these days it's no longer a place where elders have the final say."

"Instead of making things difficult for Sect Leader Rong, why don't you ask Rong Xuanji what she truly thinks? Or... as Rong Xuanji's friend, have you never respected her human rights?"

"If she agrees, I have no objection whatsoever."

What a huge hat!

Chi Miao realized that Wenren Yin's greatest strength wasn't his thick skin or his association with the demons, but his ability to label people.

But... do you think you can trick her?!

"Ask her, that's definitely the best way." Chi Miao walked up to Rong Xuanji.

Wenren Yi jumped out and shouted, "Don't come any closer! What are you going to do to my wife? You bastard, you've ruined me so much, and now you want to steal my wife away, stealing my only chance to regain my status as a prodigy? You're a robber!!"

This time, he mustered up the courage to stand up.

Chi Miao clicked her tongue in annoyance and shoved Wenren Yi away.

"What do you mean 'your wife'? That's my wife! Shameless thing, get lost!"

It's so annoying! You have the most screen time all day, and you're both incompetent and always trying to steal the spotlight.

Wenren Yi was thrown onto the steps by Chi Miao, lying weakly on her side, feeling both frustrated and in pain, tears streaming down her face, helplessly pounding the ground: "Waaaaah!"

"Honey, say something!"

"That despicable Chi Miao! That despicable robber! He even preys on innocent women... I, Wenren Yi, will never let you get away with this! Waaaaah!"

"On our wedding day, many people said Yi'er wasn't good enough, but Yi'er refused to give up!!"

"You want to steal my wife? You'll have to step over my dead body first!"

Everyone: "..."

Chi Miao opened her mouth, speechless and shocked: "..."

No, bro.

You guys are the villains who forcibly took what you wanted, okay? How come she's the bad guy now?

Fine, let him be a bad guy.

Chi Miao stepped directly onto Wenren Yi's back and walked up to Rong Xuanji.

Wenren Yi let out a terrible scream, his soul almost leaving his body.

He really didn't expect it.

He was just saying it casually, but Chi Miao actually stepped on it!

Jin Shengfei: "Why did you provoke her? Isn't it better to just live a normal life?"

Yu Wuxin: "I've seen people court death, but I've never seen anyone seek humiliation."

Ying Wuhuo: "It's a long story."

Jingming: "Amitabha Buddha."

Jin Shengfei: "So our scenes are about criticizing the plot?"

Others: "..."

You have discovered the blind spot.

They clearly wanted to take Rong Xuanji, but the four men just watched the whole thing.

As for Yun Yao... she has too many status advantages, so it's inconvenient for her to show up.

Chi Miao's gaze fell on Rong Xuanji, her eyes fixed on her: "Xuanji?"

Rong Xuanji said woodenly, "I want to...get married."

They were indeed taken into control.

However, this time the manipulation wasn't done using demonic energy.

How come your family has so many ways to manipulate people? Are you running a wholesale business?!

Wenren Yi, who was standing to the side, gradually began to smile.

Rather than letting them play the villain and be criticized later, it's better to let Chi Miao be rejected by Rong Xuanji himself.

In this respect, they were aboveboard.

On the other hand... Chi Miao was humiliated by Rong Xuanji, one of his own people, which could potentially damage their relationship and save him some trouble in the future.

It's a win-win situation.

He asked, "So? Did she agree to be with you?"

Chi Miao smiled and looked at him, and then, in full view of everyone, Chi Miao took out a megaphone from her spatial ring.

"What kind of magical artifact is that? It has such a unique design."

"Nine times out of ten, it's a rare find!!"

Wenren Yin was also dumbfounded.

Yan Ge, who was most traumatized by this object, remained silent.

Alright, alright, you little girl have another load of nonsense to tell.

Chi Miao first spoke into the loudspeaker: "Xuanji, Xuanji, do you agree to let me marry you? If you don't agree, you can scream, beg for mercy, or run away."

The sound was amplified through a loudspeaker and reached everyone's ears.

Then she handed the megaphone to Rong Xuanji.

Rong Xuanji's voice was wooden: "I want to...get married."

Everyone: "Yay! Chi Miao's attempt to show off failed!"

But the next second, Chi Miao continued, "Xuanji, Xuanji, who do you want to marry?"

Rong Xuanji: "I want to...get married."

Everyone: "...?"

Something is wrong!

Something's not right!

At that moment, Wenren Yin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he narrowed his eyes as he stared at Chi Miao.

Chi Miao's smile grew wider as he asked Rong Xuanji several questions in succession.

The questions were so outrageous that they asked if Wenren Yi had secretly stolen other people's personal clothing or done anything strange.

But it was always so absurd, and Rong Xuanji only ever answered with those four words.

—I want to get married.

Now, anyone with eyes or no eyes can see that Rong Xuanji is not in a good state!

Chi Miao then spoke:

"I'd like to hear Xuan Ji's answer with my own ears, but... you have to let the real Xuan Ji come out and answer me, don't you?"

"If you control her, how can I know what Xuanji is really thinking, right?"

Everyone was shocked.

Rong Xuanji... was actually being controlled to complete this wedding?!
