Chapter 791: Substitute

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xuanyuan Chen couldn’t believe that these words came from Liuli Luoluo.

A few days ago, Luoluo treated him with such affection. How did she become so unfamiliar in the blink of an eye?

“Luoluo.” Xuanyuan Chen’s eyes gradually turned red. He reached out to pull Liuli Luoluo’s hand, but was mercilessly flung away by Liuli Luoluo. Xuanyuan Chen felt heartbroken, and he couldn’t help but lower his head to glance at Madam Xuanyuan. He refused to give up and asked Liuli Luoluo for confirmation, “Luoluo, tell me, do you have some sort of difficulty? As long as you say that you have difficulties, I won’t be angry. I’ll just pretend that you didn’t say these words. Even if I risk my life, I will fight to the end.”

When she heard the hidden meaning in Xuanyuan Chen’s words, a knowing smile appeared on Madam Xuanyuan’s lips. She looked at Liuli Luoluo and said calmly, “That’s right, Luoluo. Is there a misunderstanding between the two of you? If there’s a misunderstanding, then let’s talk it out. Don’t say such words to hurt Xiao Chen. I think Xiao Chen is devoted to you.”

Xuanyuan Chen originally suspected that Liuli Luoluo’s attitude towards him had changed because she had been threatened by Madam Xuanyuan. However, after hearing Madam Xuanyuan’s understanding words, Xuanyuan Chen felt that he was being petty.

He also stared at Liuli Luoluo expectantly. “Luoluo, did I do something wrong and make you angry?”

Liuli Luoluo said, “To be honest, I’ve never loved you.”

Xuanyuan Chen was stunned and subconsciously explained, “Three months ago, you were the one who took the initiative to tell me that you wanted to end our friendship and become lovers.” That day, Xuanyuan Chen’s mind was filled with Liuli Luoluo. For the first time, he lost interest in cultivation.

Even now, when he recalled the scene of Liuli Luoluo confessing to him, Xuanyuan Chen still felt his heart race.

But Liuli Luoluo said that she had never loved him!

Since she had never loved him, why confess to him?

Liuli Luoluo actually said, “I’ve always had someone else in my heart. Xuanyuan Chen, do you know who that person is?”

Xuanyuan Chen widened his eyes. “You… you’re talking about Sheng Xiao?”

Liuli Luoluo nodded and admitted frankly, “That’s right. I’ve never forgotten Sheng Xiao. I still love him. Unfortunately, he doesn’t care about me at all. Although the Liuli Clan cultivates the Free and Unfettered Dao, we can’t do something immoral like coveting a married man and ruining someone’s family. I heard that the best way to forget someone is to start another relationship. So…”

Liuli Luoluo stared at Xuanyuan Chen, who looked as if he had been struck by lightning. She said in embarrassment, “Xuanyuan Chen, you’re just a substitute to transfer my feelings for Sheng Xiao to.”

Substitute!

Xuanyuan Chen never expected Liuli Luoluo to treat him like this.

“Then… then why do you suddenly not want me as a substitute?” Xuanyuan Chen clenched the saber in his hand and gritted his teeth. He said forcefully, “Is it because I’m not a suitable substitute?”

Liuli Luoluo looked at the battlefield below and pointed at the battle stage with the words “Liuli Luoluo” on it. She said, “Do you see that? The people sitting under that stage are all people who want to marry me.”

Xuanyuan Chen looked over and naturally saw the 103 competitors he had defeated.

Liuli Luoluo continued, “Most of them are descendants of noble families with extraordinary backgrounds. Although their cultivation and talent are not as outstanding as yours, they are not bad either. The person with the worst status among them is the successor of a fourth-rate family. The person with the highest status is the acting Patriarch of the Yin Clan, a Grand Master powerhouse.”

“Since I want to find a substitute, why don’t I find a substitute with a more powerful family background and abilities?”

Liuli Luoluo was so straightforward that Xuanyuan Chen couldn’t find another excuse anymore.

“So, from the beginning to the end, you really never liked me?” Xuanyuan Chen looked at Liuli Luoluo in despair.

Liuli Luoluo shook her head calmly and said mercilessly, “Xuanyuan Chen, I’ve been your classmate for 12 years. If I really loved you, I would have fallen in love with you long ago. Why would I suddenly like you after Sheng Xiao got married?”

Xuanyuan Chen suddenly calmed down when he heard this.

He felt the cold temperature of the Crazy Demon Blade and stared at Liuli Luoluo’s cold and aloof face. Suddenly, he roared with laughter. “Alright, since that’s the case, then I, Xuanyuan Chen, wish you the best of luck in marrying a man. From now on, may you enjoy eternal glory and wealth!”

With that said, Xuanyuan Chen held his knife and jumped down from the watchtower. He dragged his seriously injured body and walked out of the battlefield firmly.

Three months of romance, regardless of whether it was sincere or not, was enough for him to repay with these injuries.

Liuli Luoluo’s eyes flickered as she suddenly turned around and looked down at Xuanyuan Chen’s back as he walked away. Her charming eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Liuli Nuonuo held the teacup and took a sip elegantly. She smiled and said, “Luoluo, you have to listen to me and walk forward. If you dare to take a step back…” Liuli Nuonuo glanced at Liuli Shao, who was quietly standing behind her, and the beautiful elders behind her. Her lips curled into an evil smile.” Then they will all die for you! ”

Liuli Luoluo’s body trembled slightly. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. “You’re so despicable!”

Liuli Nuonuo shook her head and only smiled.

Seeing Ji Linyuan enter the battlefield, Liuli Nuonuo said, “Ji Linyuan is not a lustful person. This person’s motives are not pure. You must not make any mistakes. If you ruin my plan… you will regret it.”

Liuli Luoluo dug her fingernails into her flesh and said hatefully, “You’ll die a horrible death.”

“Hehe…”

* *

Ji Linyuan felt ashamed at the thought of standing in the arena and competing for a woman with a junior in front of everyone. He dawdled for a long time before entering the arena in the last few minutes.

When he arrived at the battlefield and heard that Xuanyuan Chen had left without a fight, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

After tidying up the collar of his windbreaker, Ji Linyuan walked onto the stage alone.

“Look! Mr. Ji Linyuan really came to participate in the marriage recruitment event!”

“This eldest disciple of the Liuli Clan is indeed charming. She even attracted Mr. Ji Lin.”

“How old is Mr. Ji Lin? Why does he look more… mature than Patriarch Sheng?” The word mature had often become a term to tactfully evaluate a person’s appearance.

Ji Linyuan was not like other Beast Tamers who blindly pursued handsome and young appearances. His appearance showed signs of natural aging. He looked like a mature and charming man in his forties. He looked even more like a gentleman when wearing a windbreaker.

This was Ji Linyuan’s first time appearing in public. The moment he appeared, he won the hearts of many young girls.

Ji Linyuan cupped his fists at the 103 competitors below the stage. He was about to speak when he saw Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao coming to the battleground together. The two of them were sitting at the back of the audience. Yu Huang saw that Ji Linyuan had noticed her and quickly opened the banner with Sheng Xiao.

The banner said—

We wish Eldest Senior Brother success!

The corners of Ji Linyuan’s mouth twitched. He secretly glared at Yu Huang before saying, “I’m Ji Linyuan. I’ve admired Ms. Liuli Luoluo for a long time and have specifically come to ask to marry her. If anyone else wants to challenge me, please come on stage!”

The competitors sitting below the stage were all between the ages of 28 and 40. Most of them were Masters and early-stage Supreme Masters. Xuanyuan Chen had the highest cultivation level among them.

As a Grand Master, Ji Linyuan was an existence that most people couldn’t compare to. The moment Ji Linyuan went on stage, who dared to compete with him?

Even if all of them went on stage to attack Ji Linyuan, they wouldn’t gain anything.

The group of youths cursed Ji Linyuan inside. This old man was so shameless. He was already so old, yet he still came to snatch their girl. How embarrassing!

Ji Linyuan waited for a few minutes. Seeing that the competitors below the stage had all lowered their heads, he smiled and said, “Since no one challenged me, I’m the final victor.” With that said, Ji Linyuan nodded at Liuli Nuonuo, who was on the observation platform, and flew to pluck the big red flower at the top of the arena. He then put the big red flower on himself.

Bang!

The gong was sounded, and the steward shouted, “Grand Master Beast Tamer Ji Linyuan has successfully won and become Miss Liuli Luoluo’s spouse! Miss Liuli Luoluo, please make your appearance!”

Ji Linyuan looked at the small building on the right and heard a joyous tune. Then, there was a series of gongs and drums. Liuli Luoluo, who was wearing a gorgeous red wedding dress and a veil, walked out of the small building accompanied by Liuli Shao.

When he saw that she was wearing a wedding dress, Ji Linyuan’s expression changed slightly.

What, they were getting married right now?
