Cangwu City fell into silence.
So quiet that one could hear people's breathing.
And the faint whispers of the wind.
The surroundings were utterly still, as if time itself had frozen at this moment. Everyone was stunned by Wu Yingxue's declaration.
"No… impossible!"
Finally, someone snapped out of their daze.
A terrified voice of protest rang out.
Followed by a second, a third, a fourth.
The entire Cangwu City erupted in uproar, shocked into speechlessness by the unbelievable turn of events.
How could this be?!
How could a mere good-for-nothing like Xu Xi be allowed to marry the Wu Family's precious daughter?!
"Please reconsider! He's just a worthless waste—how could he possibly be worthy of your noble status?!" someone cried out in the scorching sunlight, their face twisted with agitation.
"Silence!"
Gilded and razor-sharp.
A hilt gleaming darkly.
Her spear swept horizontally, flames roaring into the heavens.
Wu Yingxue's expression was icy as the phoenix-fire from her spear surged skyward, scorching the very air and painting the heavens with the illusion of an undying phoenix soaring through the skies.
"Today, I will marry him."
"Let me see who dares oppose this union!"
With that,
The inferno blazed across the sky,
Engulfing all of Cangwu City in its fiery embrace.
Flames clashed with dark clouds, exuding an overwhelming, apocalyptic pressure.
Wu Yingxue no longer held back—her cultivation as a Great Dao-Severing expert was now on full display!
"What?!"
"A Dao-Severing realm cultivator at her age?!"
"Wu Yingxue… is actually this terrifying?!"
The crowd erupted in shock once more—not just the citizens of Cangwu City, but even the armored retinue accompanying Wu Yingxue wore expressions of disbelief.
All who looked up felt as though they were standing before a deity who commanded flames.
"???"
Xu Xi felt question marks popping up above his head.
Wait a minute…
Are you the protagonist here, or am I?
We're both in the same simulation, so how are you this much of a show-off?!
"Yingxue, what are you—"
"Shh… Sir, I'm helping you."
Wu Yingxue smirked, her triumphant grin reminding Xu Xi of a certain smirking dragon king.
One arm wrapped around Xu Xi's waist,
The other wielding her spear to suppress the crowd,
She communicated telepathically: "Sir, having your engagement broken off would be too humiliating for you."
"If we make the marriage real, no one will dare laugh at you."
The logic of the young noblewoman was simple:
Broken engagement = mockery.
Successful marriage = no issue.
To prevent the man she respected from being ridiculed by fools, Wu Yingxue chose to go through with the marriage and preserve Xu Xi's dignity.
"Sir, don’t you think my reasoning makes perfect sense?"
Wu Yingxue blinked playfully.
Xu Xi sighed, about to respond, when another disturbance erupted outside.
The world darkened.
Crimson stained the skies.
The voices of Cangwu City were violently suppressed—
Absolute. Overwhelming. Unrivaled.
A sword-light of divine brilliance illuminated the heavens, its radiance so intense it rivaled the sun itself, forcefully dispersing Wu Yingxue's phoenix flames.
"This marriage—I do not approve!"
A cold, clear voice descended from beyond the skies.
Her gaze pierced through time itself.
Her blade severed the threads of fate.
Snow-white robes billowed wildly in the high winds as divine chains and dao principles swirled around her. In a single step, she traversed vast distances, arriving in Cangwu City in an instant.
"It's her!"
Someone in the city gasped, eyes widening as they uttered the newcomer's name.
"Xu Moli! It's Xu Moli!"
"The prodigy who unearthed the innate Profound Bone and ascended to the pinnacle of genius!"
"Why is she here?!"
Chaos. Confusion. Bewilderment.
The people of Cangwu City were utterly stunned, their gazes darting between Xu Xi, Xu Moli, and Wu Yingxue.
In everyone's understanding,
Today was supposed to mark the second fall of "genius Xu Xi"—
A day to witness his humiliation as his engagement was dissolved.
Some sneered. Some shook their heads in pity.
All believed Xu Xi's broken engagement was inevitable.
Yet, the situation had spiraled into the absurd. First, Wu Yingxue declared she would not break the engagement. Now, Xu Moli had arrived to voice her opposition to Xu Xi's marriage.
How could this happen?
How was this possible?!
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, completely unable to comprehend why Xu Xi's broken engagement had escalated into this mess.
Under countless stunned stares,
The flames surged once more—burning with life, yet courting death, cycling endlessly through destruction and rebirth.
"You don’t approve?"
Wu Yingxue frowned, her spear pointing at the white-robed swordswoman in the sky.
"What right do you have to oppose this?!"
With a cold snort,
Wu Yingxue produced a marriage contract—prepared long in advance.
It was one of the items she had automatically obtained upon arriving in this world, tied to her identity.
Ignoring the real world, in this place, she was Xu Xi's rightful fiancée!
"I. Do. Not. Approve."
A sword-light flashed—
A fleeting instant, a single moment—
A slash of immortal radiance cleanly severed the marriage contract in Wu Yingxue's hand, splitting it in two.
"My elder brother's marriage is not something to be decided so casually. It must be discussed with me first," Xu Moli stated coolly, her black hair dancing in the wind.
"You… are not qualified."
Not qualified?
Heh. Heh.
"Sir, please wait here for me. I'll be back soon."
Wu Yingxue laughed—a laugh of sheer exasperation.
Upon entering this world, she had thought she held all the advantages. Never did she expect to be intercepted halfway, losing her golden opportunity.
Without waiting for Xu Xi's response,
Wu Yingxue shot into the sky, clashing with Xu Moli in an earth-shaking battle.
The heavens trembled. The winds stilled.
Divine might shook the world, reducing mountains and rivers to ruin.
The two supreme talents fought with unbridled fury, their battle carrying them beyond the city, devastating vast stretches of wilderness.
"Stop! Stop fighting, both of you!"

Cangwu City.
Near Xu Xi's residence, silence reigned.
None dared approach—merely speaking of it brought fear.
Amid that oppressive stillness,
Xu Xi, Xu Moli, and Wu Yingxue sat inside the house,
Engaged in a thorough scolding session.
