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

"I do!"

"I'm willing to marry Chi Miao! Even if it's just a hollow title, even if we might go our separate ways at any moment, at least for now... I'm willing to marry Chi Miao for my freedom, for my life, for myself!!"

While she was moved, she also knew very well that marrying Chi Miao in front of everyone was the best choice right now.

Everyone else knew perfectly well that the marriage between the two was nothing more than a charade, a performance put on for them, and had no real effect whatsoever.

That's precisely why Chi Miao has to put on a show for them.

The curse of the Celestial Fox Body: one must marry before the age of twenty, or face a tragic backlash and death.

Now that Rong Xuanji has married Chi Miao, the curse has been broken.

Furthermore, once Rong Xuanji marries Chi Miao, everyone will know that Rong Xuanji is a virgin. Even if she and Chi Miao part ways in the future and she marries someone else, it will not affect her in any way.

On the one hand, it silenced everyone's mouths, and on the other hand... neither side would suffer any losses. In fact, they could directly state their positions.

Rong Xuanji will have Chi Miao protecting her in the future, and Nine Swords Mountain will protect her as well.

If the Hehuan Sect agrees, that would be a truly good thing for the two sects to unite. If the Hehuan Sect doesn't agree... Rong Xuanji doesn't lack powerful backers either.

At this moment, Rong Xuanji gained true freedom.

Chi Miao pulled Rong Xuanji along and bowed slightly to everyone.

"Since we are both willing, then... today, everyone is welcome to attend my wedding with Xuanji."

As soon as she finished speaking, the sign next to her that read "Wenren Yi♡Rong Xuanji" was quickly taken down by the members of the Tianjiao Group.

Jin Shengfei quickly took out a brand new, gleaming gold plaque and placed it there.

The plaque reads "Chi Miao♡Rong Xuanji".

Everyone: "Wait...you guys are this well-prepared?! Isn't this gold plaque a bit too dazzling?!"

Although I knew that today's smooth wedding hijacking couldn't have been unplanned, your actions were just too fluid!

Can you guys at least pretend a little?

Yu Wuxin chuckled, "Isn't it because I was afraid you'd think it was true?"

Everyone: "...Do we look stupid?"

Ying Wuhuo: "Hmm."

Everyone: "..."

Jingming: "Amitabha Buddha."

It's hard to judge; this year's elite team feels... a bit too unconventional.

Were these prodigies of the past really this abstract?

but……

"Even though I know it's fake, I'm still so excited."

"Of course it's touching! This is the purest and most sincere redemption between girls! It's truly a moving friendship!"

"Friendship my ass! They're married! They're real!"

"Wake up! You actually believe their farcical wedding?!"

"I don't care! They're married! They're real! They're more real than pearls! More real than the needles in the Sunflower Manual!!!"

"Good heavens, are you obsessed? The genius group themselves said they were afraid we'd be too stupid to tell they were fake, so they quickly changed the signboard."

"I don't care! They're really obsessed! They're real!!!!"

The others were frightened and dared not speak.

If I say another word in front of this person who ships couples, I might get slapped for no reason.

Now that things have come to this, it's a foregone conclusion that Chi Miao has successfully stolen the bride.

Wenren Yin, who was seated in the upper seat, was clearly about to lose his composure.

Just then, Yan Ge silently walked over.

Wenren Yin: "?"

Yan Ge: "What are you looking at? Get out of your seat!"

Wenren Yin: "??"

Yan Ge: "This is my disciple's wedding to Ren Xuanji. What kind of behavior is it for you to linger in the seat of honor? What is your relationship with my disciple? You're so old, and you don't even know any manners."

Wenren Yin: "Pfft—!!"

"You...you Nine Swords Mountain, don't push your luck! This is still my Heavenly Sword Sect's territory, after all!"

His mood was already extremely volatile, as his own children and grandchildren had been abducted for marriage, and his only chance to regain his status as a prodigy was gone.

So Yan Ge actually came over and unleashed his ultimate attack right in my face?

Who could possibly stand this?!

Wenren Yin quickly calmed down, his eyes darkening: "Isn't it too early to be happy now?"

Yan Ge: "Whether it's early or not is none of your business! Get out of your seat and let me sit down."

Wenren Yin: "..."

So you're after his seat, aren't you?!

Get sick!

"Like teacher, like student."

Yan Ge: "Oh, I wasn't like this before. I only became like this after spending a lot of time with my disciple. So, like disciple, like master."

Wenren Yin was silenced once again.

Reversing the Heavenly Gang!

He took a deep breath.

However... since things have come to this, he's not one to suffer a loss.

Rong Miaoling's control was useless, and her attitude was completely undermined by Chi Miao, making her a useless pawn.

Chi Miao's actions today have crossed his bottom line.

Given time, I fear that the Heavenly Sword Sect, which he has built up over his entire life, will be defeated by Chi Miao.

Since we can't take Chi Miao's life, then...

Let's cripple her.

Wenren Yin's eyes turned cold...

At this moment, in front of everyone, everyone was happy that Chi Miao had saved Rong Xuanji from danger.

Chi Miao, in particular, dragged Rong Xuanji and skipped the formalities, running to the children's table to eat with the group of prodigies.

Jin Shengfei: "Now we can say that we've finally collected all the illustrations. We have to eat at both Chi Miao's funeral and wedding feasts. It's quite a感慨 (feeling of mixed emotions)."

Chi Miao ate meat and drank juice with gusto: "Of course! Even I got to eat it. Who else could do that? I'm going to publish a book called 'Chi Miao's Awesome Life'."

Jingming: "...Amitabha."

It's really unlucky to eat at your own table.

Chi Miao: "Monk, why don't you eat meat? Why don't you drink alcohol? You usually like it a lot, don't you?"

Jingming tensed up completely.

Suddenly, Master Puning appeared out of nowhere, a smile on his face, but his aura gradually turned dangerous: "Eating meat and drinking wine?"

With her eyes closed, Jingming quickly said, "Amitabha," adding, "It's all just Chi Miao talking nonsense; she's not mentally sound."

Chi Miao narrowed his eyes.

OK OK.

You insulted her!

"You're finished! I'm talking nonsense? I'm not mentally sound? I have a video recording!!"

Just then, she raised a photo stone high.

Even Jingming was stunned, momentarily unable to control his emotions: "You...you recorded this?!"

Get sick!

"Hehe." Chi Miao chuckled mischievously, then shouted, "Record Stone! Activate!!"

"Don't--!"

That is, in this very instant.

puff--!

A flying sword pierced through Chi Miao's abdomen, with most of the tip protruding, and bright red blood sprayed onto the faces of the people next to Chi Miao.

Everyone's pupils contracted and their breathing stopped.

Chi Miao lowered her head little by little:

"What just shoved in like that?"
