Wedding ceremony tomorrow

Chapter 185 Make him marry me!

Luo Qingfeng was slightly taken aback.

This is a girl with long, fiery red hair, whose face looks unfamiliar.

He was certain he didn't know him.

I've never seen it before.

The girl was extremely tall, standing at least 1.75 meters, with a slender waist, long legs, a high nose, and pale blue eyes that made her look somewhat like someone from another region. Her gaze towards him was not only fiery but also filled with a strong sense of provocation and dominance.

Luo Qingfeng was secretly puzzled.

At this moment, Zhang Cuicui whispered in front of her, "Senior Brother Luo, she is the female disciple named Huo Man. She had been cultivating outside and only came to the courtyard a few days ago. I heard that she is at the ninth level of the Opening Heaven Realm."

It turned out that she had also noticed the other person's gaze.

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng was even more puzzled.

He had never met this girl before, and naturally there was no conflict between them. Why did she look at him like that the moment they met?

A thought suddenly struck him: Could this girl also be a member of the Yuan family?

Or perhaps, it's someone behind the Yuan family?

The Yuan family was clearly not the only ones coveting Nightingale's bloodline and physique.

Thinking of this, he immediately became alert.

"The Nine Stars of Creation..."

If we encounter this girl on stage in this competition, we must not be careless.

He would never show mercy once the other party had murderous intent.

As for what Team One and Team Two said about stopping short of hurting feelings, that's naturally impossible.

Once on stage, under the watchful eyes of so many high-ranking members and disciples, everyone will undoubtedly give it their all. Once the fight begins, who would dare to hold back? After all, everyone will do their utmost and go all out; if you're soft-hearted, you'll be the one who suffers.

Others should understand this principle as well.

The reason I'm giving you this heads-up is simply to avoid damaging the surface harmony, or rather, to hope that the competition won't be so ruthless.

However, if someone harbors murderous intent towards him, he will certainly not show the slightest mercy.

At this moment, Dean Xu Liao had already walked up to the platform and begun to speak.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he began to encourage everyone, and then talked about the past competitions between the South and North campuses, hoping that everyone would fight for the North campus this time.

"All participants will receive rewards. Those who place in the top twenty will receive generous rewards, including Xuan Gold, pills, and other cultivation resources. As for the top ten, needless to say, they will receive most of the cultivation resources from our Northern Academy..."

At this moment, the girl named Huoman suddenly spoke up: "Dean Xu, what if we make it into the top five?"

As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes turned to her.

At this moment, everyone was seeing the higher-ups of the Human Rank Department for the first time, and also seeing Dean Xu for the first time. They were all filled with awe and nervousness, and didn't even dare to whisper. Unexpectedly, this girl actually asked directly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Liao looked at her and smiled warmly: "If you make it into the top five, you can receive all the cultivation resources available in our Northern Academy. You can also make one additional request: any request that doesn't violate the academy's rules."

After listening, Huo Man asked again, "What if we make it into the top three, or even win first place?"

The higher-ups in the Human Rank Department all laughed.

Xu Liao's smile deepened: "We're not talking about first place, just the top three. If any of you make it into the top three, you'll not only be the most important disciple we cultivate in the Northern Academy, but also a disciple that the Main Academy pays close attention to. All of our cultivation resources in the Northern Academy will be allocated to you, and you can even make three requests. Even if those three requests are a bit excessive, we can grant them at our discretion."

Upon hearing this, Luo Qingfeng's heart stirred.

Three excessive demands?

Would it be acceptable to force Nightingale to leave the South Courtyard and then join the North Courtyard?

This request isn't really that unreasonable, is it?

After all, Sister Nightingale has already completed her mission. It's just that the Yuan family is deliberately blocking things. If the highest-ranking members of the North Courtyard speak up, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a surge of excitement.

At this moment, Huo Man suddenly said again, "Dean Xu, if I make it into the top three, I only need to make one request, can you grant it?"

Xu Liao smiled broadly and said, "As long as it's not asking me to kill or set fires for you, I'll agree to anything. If I can't do it, I'll ask someone else to do it for you."

Then he asked with some curiosity, "It seems you've already made up your mind. If it's convenient, you can come and talk to me later so I can be prepared."

Everyone laughed.

Unexpectedly, Huo Man said, "Then I'll tell you now."

As she spoke, she suddenly pointed at someone in the group and said in a forceful tone, "I want to cultivate with him, I want him to marry me, is that okay?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly young girl would make such a request in front of so many disciples and high-ranking officials!

To have a male disciple cultivate with her? To marry her?

How could you say that?

At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the male disciple in the group, and their expressions were quite interesting.

Zhang Cuicui also stood frozen in place.

Luo Qingfeng, the person involved, was completely bewildered.

Xu Liao on the stage was also stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "Huo Man, you can tell me this request in private."

Huo Man, however, remained calm and unconcerned, saying, "What difference does it make now? As long as Dean Xu agrees, I guarantee I will do my best to get into the top three."

Upon hearing this, the higher-ups of the Human Rank Department exchanged glances.

Xu Liao's gaze fell on the boy in the first team. He paused, and a green light suddenly flashed in his pupils. Then, his expression changed, and a look of realization seemed to appear on his face.

At that moment, Luo Qingfeng suddenly felt something enter his body and spy on him, but fortunately, the crimson bead automatically disappeared.

At this moment, Liang Lizhi walked to Xu Liao's side and whispered something.

When Luo Qingfeng first entered the Demon Suppression Academy, the people in the South Academy didn't want him, so it was he who took the initiative to invite him to the North Academy, and it was he who sent Luo Qingfeng to the Library.

After listening, Xu Liao nodded slightly, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes as he looked at the boy below the stage.

Upon seeing this, Luo Qingfeng realized something was amiss and quickly spoke up, "Dean Xu, I already have a wife."

Before the words were even finished, the girl named Huoman immediately said, "What does it matter? Just divorce her. If she doesn't agree, then let's fight. If she wins, I'll be her concubine; if she loses, she'll be her concubine."

Everyone: "..."

Xu Liao seemed somewhat speechless: "Huo Man, let's talk about this after the competition. Or, you can come to my place later and we can discuss it there."

Huo Man looked at him and said, "Dean Xu, this request isn't difficult, and you still won't agree. Then who will believe what you just said?"

These words startled everyone.

This girl is so bold.

A tall, thin middle-aged man on the stage immediately reprimanded in a stern voice, "Firevine, how dare you be rude!"

Huo Man stood tall and said, "This disciple was merely stating the truth. How was I being rude?"

Just as the tall, thin man was about to reprimand him, Xu Liao raised his hand and said, "Huo Man's words are not wrong. However, matters between men and women require mutual affection and consent. This matter..."

Huo Man immediately said, "Then I'll beat him into submission on stage tomorrow, and he'll naturally agree."

Xu Liao's lips twitched, and he gently advised, "Huo Man, let's talk about this later, no need to rush. Let's discuss tomorrow's competition first, as there are some rules that none of us know yet."

Huo Man glanced at someone again before saying, "Alright then, I'll call him to come along later. I have something to ask him."

His tone sounded exceptionally domineering.

Xu Liao seemed to know about her situation but didn't care. He began to explain the rules of tomorrow's competition.

"Tomorrow's competition will feature forty-eight participants. Opponents will be determined by drawing lots. The competition will proceed from forty-eight to twenty-four, from twenty-four to twelve, from twelve to ten. Once the top ten are determined, eliminations will begin one by one until the top three and the first place are selected..."

"Before the competition, an oath must be taken, stating that if the opponent surrenders or is seriously injured and unable to resist, no further action can be taken... At the same time, a life-or-death contract must be signed... After all, when competing on stage, everyone will go all out, and it is impossible for everyone to control their own strength at will, so injuries and deaths will occasionally occur..."

"Of course, whether it's the South Academy or our North Academy, the focus is on friendly sparring and competition, and we try our best to avoid any casualties. After all, the demons are our true enemies."

"When competing on stage, you cannot use poison, evil techniques, spirit beasts, or any other living creatures to assist you... Other techniques, formations, and various magical artifacts are not restricted..."

Luo Qingfeng listened attentively.

What just happened did not have any impact or cause him any trouble.

So what if that girl is domineering? He can just refuse. Does she think she can force herself on him?

He already had some guesses in his mind.

When the girl looked at him intently, he clearly felt a familiar and warm sensation. A flame had also faintly lit up in the girl's blue pupils.

The other person's natal star may be the same as his natal star.

Or perhaps there is some other connection.

Even so, he still found the girl's boldness incredible.

It seems this girl is indeed not from here, otherwise she wouldn't be so unrestrained and shameless.

Xu Liao spoke on the stage for a while longer before stopping.

Then, he began to encourage everyone.

The higher-ups in the Human Rank Department also spoke, offering words of encouragement.

Some people angrily spoke of the oppression and contempt from the South Campus, hoping to arouse everyone's fighting spirit of "common hatred against the enemy".

The speech ended close to evening.

Elder Wei of the Human Rank Department announced that all new disciples participating in the competition tonight can eat for free in the canteen, where they can eat as much of the various kinds of monster meat as they want.

The disciples immediately cheered.

Luo Qingfeng was also tempted, but considering that there were people waiting for him at home and that Sister Nightingale would definitely have a lot to say to him tonight, he had no choice but to give up.

If he doesn't go back for dinner, Nightingale and the others probably won't find it interesting to eat, and might just eat a few steamed buns for dinner.

Just as I was thinking about something, I suddenly heard footsteps beside me.

Immediately, a surge of heat rushed towards him.

Huo Man walked straight up to him, looking at him intently, and said, "Let's go, Dean Xu called us to talk about something, and I also have some questions for you."

The other disciples from Team One and Team Two watched from the sidelines.

Many of the male disciples looked on with envy and confusion.

Luo Qingfeng refused outright: "Sorry, I need to go home for dinner."

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Huo Man raised an eyebrow and reached out to grab him.

Luo Qingfeng swayed his shoulder and retreated four or five meters away.

Their eyes met, and suddenly, two flames ignited in their pupils.

Firevines grew even more excited: "I knew it! I've decided on you!"

Xu Liao on the stage hurriedly said, "Fire Mist, do not make a move."

Then he looked at Luo Qingfeng and said gently, "Qingfeng, are you willing to go..."

"I don't want to."

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Qingfeng refused.

The other disciples' expressions changed slightly upon seeing this.

They hadn't expected that not only was the girl bold, but the boy was also incredibly daring—the person on the stage was the second dean of the North Academy!

Xu Liao could only say, "Qingfeng, we just want you to come over and talk to you, not to force you to agree to anything."

Luo Qingfeng didn't believe him and cupped his hands, saying, "Dean Xu, if she doesn't go, then I will go."

Huo Man glared at him, clenching her fists and angrily said, "Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!"

Xu Liao was somewhat troubled.

At this moment, Liang Lizhi spoke up, "Qingfeng, we won't force you to do anything, but there are some things we need to discuss with you. As for Huoman, don't worry, with us here, we won't let her make things difficult for you."

Luo Qingfeng was exceptionally respectful to him, cupping his hands and bowing his head, saying, "Deacon Liang, what is it? Let's talk about it after the competition tomorrow. I have a wife waiting for me at home, and I can't go back too late. After all, there might be danger on stage tomorrow, and I have a lot to tell my family, so... I'm sorry."

Seeing this, Liang Lizhi didn't press the matter any further and looked at Dean Xu standing to the side.

Dean Xu gave a wry smile and could only say, "Alright, you can go back now. We'll talk again after the competition tomorrow."

Actually, he wanted to wait until tomorrow's competition to see. He had just briefly examined the young man and only found that his natal star was somewhat extraordinary, but he couldn't discern the young man's specific cultivation level.

According to Deacon Liang, this young man was rejected by the Southern Academy for forcibly squeezing out his potential with pills to advance to the next level, and it should have been impossible for him to advance again. Who would have thought that he would advance two levels in just a few days?

Judging from this, the young man was definitely not simple, so he was naturally curious and wanted to find out more.

However, let's wait until the competition is over tomorrow.

He was eager to see how the boy would perform tomorrow, and also to see the attitude of the people in the South Courtyard tomorrow.

Luo Qingfeng bowed and took his leave.

Just as Huo Man was about to stop him, Dean Xu quickly said, "Huo Man, don't rush, I still have something to ask you."

Firevine had no choice but to stop, its burning gaze lingering on the retreating figure one last time before it gave up.

The crowd whispered amongst themselves and gradually dispersed.

After leaving the Lin Yuan Tower area, Luo Qingfeng headed towards the library.

He needs to go and tell Senior Bai first.

Just then, Zhang Cuicui's voice suddenly came from behind: "Senior Brother Luo!"

Luo Qingfeng stopped in his tracks.

Zhang Cuicui caught up from behind, a smile on her face: "Senior Brother Luo, aren't you even a little bit tempted? Senior Sister Huo is so beautiful, has such a great figure, and is at the ninth level of the Open Heaven Realm."

Luo Qingfeng said, "My wife is much prettier than her."

Zhang Cuicui laughed and said, "Of course, in Senior Brother Luo's eyes, no beautiful woman in the world can compare to Senior Sister Ye. By the way, Senior Brother Luo, aren't you having dinner in the courtyard tonight? There's lots of monster meat there, and it's all free."

Luo Qingfeng said, "No, I still think home-cooked meals are the best."

Zhang Cuicui paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Senior Brother Luo is so family-oriented, Senior Sister Ye is truly blessed."

Luo Qingfeng glanced at the sky and said, "I still need to go to the library, so I'll stop here."

Zhang Cuicui nodded and didn't say anything more.

Luo Qingfeng waved and quickly left.

Zhang Cuicui stood there, watching his figure gradually disappear into the distance until it vanished into the woods. Fang Wei sighed almost imperceptibly and turned to leave.
