Chapter 205: Chapter 203 Engagement (2)

"This child, you’re really impatient, huh? Even though it’s true, you are very beautiful, the whole of Cangxuan City couldn’t find anyone prettier than you but..."

"Hehe..."

Yi Mu’s laughter interrupted her mother, then she said confidently, "Mother, you need to know, your daughter, not only is the number one beauty in Cangxuan City, but even in the Five Great Cities, or even the entire Canglong Continent, it would be difficult to find another girl as beautiful as me. I’m not even 16 yet, it’s too early to talk about marriage!"

"Oh, alright..."

Yi Mu’s mother looked at her with disdain.

"You’re really full of yourself, saying the whole Canglong Continent couldn’t find another girl like you, truly conceited."

"Haha!"

Yi Mu giggled, "Mother, just say what you need to say!"

"Mumu, let me ask you now, if we betrothed you to Young Master Yan, would you agree?"

"No," Yi Mu refused immediately.

"Why?"

"I don’t fancy him!"

"Young Master Yan is handsome and refined, his mannerisms are impeccable. At a glance, you can tell he is a dragon among men. What kind of young talent doesn’t appeal to you? Then tell me, what kind of man do you fancy?"

Yi Mu became serious.

"Mother, my ideal man must be a strong figure in the Cultivation World."

"Isn’t Young Master Yan strong enough?"

"Hmph!"

Yi Mu scoffed, "What’s so strong about him? Ever since I met him, aside from his tone being overbearing, I’ve never seen him take action even once. He even needed me to handle two small thieves, I don’t know what you see in him."

Hearing Yi Mu’s complaint, her mother kindly said, "Silly child, don’t forget, if he weren’t strong, how could he bring out such a Heaven-defying Technique?"

"Mother, just bringing out a Heaven-defying Technique means he’s strong?"

"Mumu!"

Yi Mu’s mother finally couldn’t help but explode, raising her voice and angrily said, "I’ve finally figured it out, the so-called strong men of yours, which one isn’t an old man who has lived for hundreds of years? And you compare them to Young Master Yan."

"Uh, what are you talking about?"

Yi Mu became flustered, "Mother, I think you got it wrong."

"What did I get wrong?"

"Mother, the strong man I talked about is someone who’s invincible at his level."

"Hah!"

Yi Mu’s mother said coldly, "Mumu, Young Master Yan comes from Huaxia, it’s a long way from here. Think about it, how much danger must he have faced on the way here? As for the invincible people at the same level you mentioned, they might not even be worthy in front of Young Master Yan."

"Hmph!"

Yi Mu scoffed, "Look how you praise him, as if he’s about to ascend to the Immortal World."

"Yi Mu, I don’t have time to chatter with you here. Tomorrow, you must go to the Dragon Abyss Sect with Young Master Yan. Just tell me now, what will it take for you to agree to this marriage?" her mother said impatiently.

Yi Mu disdained, "Mother, don’t waste your breath, no matter what, I won’t agree to this marriage."

"Alright then." Her mother said angrily, "I’ll go with your father to see Young Master Yan, and formally propose to the Yan Family."

"Propose?"

Yi Mu was shocked, thinking, "No way, if mother and father go to propose, that damned Yan Rufeng will surely agree. If I refuse then, my elders who are keen to repay Yan Rufeng’s kindness will force the marriage. What do I do, what do I do..."

Getting more and more anxious, Yi Mu saw her mother turning to leave, and an idea suddenly came to her.

"Hehe!"

She laughed and said, "Mother, don’t leave in such a hurry. If you want me to agree to this marriage, there’s one condition..."

"What’s the condition!" Her mother turned and asked, smiling.

"He must defeat me in a fight."

Yi Mu proposed this condition because she thought if Yan Rufeng agreed to a duel and lost, she could rightfully refuse the marriage. Her parents wouldn’t be able to say much, and there wouldn’t be any forced marriage.

Moreover, Yi Mu knew her parents only did this to repay Yan Rufeng for teaching them a Cultivation Technique. She was confident that if she beat Yan Rufeng, her parents wouldn’t marry her to a weakling...

...

"Fine, I’ll take that as you agreeing to the marriage," her mother said.

"Mother..."

Yi Mu wanted to say more but her mother interjected, "Why call me? If we’re late, Young Master Yan might go to bed soon."

"Sigh..."

Watching her mother leave, Yi Mu sighed, "Why was I so stupid just now, why take this risk? If Yan Rufeng really beats me, what should I do then? I know nothing about him. If I lose and get engaged to him, what if he treats me badly later..."

"Waa waa waa..."

...

Yan Rufeng, who went with Yi Hong to see Tang Yue, had just saved Tang Yue’s life when they saw Yi Zhantian and Yi Mu’s mother approaching.

With a smile, Yi Zhantian said, "Nephew Yan, how do you plan to handle Tang Yue?"

Yan Rufeng said, "His cultivation has been abolished, so let’s send him back to the Tang Family. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to the Dragon Abyss Sect with Mumu."

Yi Zhantian instructed his clansmen to take Tang Yue away and then smiled, "Nephew Yan, would you join this old man for some tea?"

It was so late, who drinks tea now? Yan Rufeng understood Yi Zhantian’s intention. Since they were going to the Dragon Abyss Sect tomorrow, Yi Zhantian must have something to say.

Yan Rufeng followed Yi Zhantian to the guest hall of the Yi Family. Yi Zhantian smiled faintly, "Uncle Yi, if you have something to say, just say it."

Yi Zhantian took a sip of tea and said, "Nephew Yan, around here, men your age mostly have children. Pardon me for saying, but you’re getting on in years, haven’t you thought about your lifelong partner?"

With a forced smile, Yan Rufeng said, "Uncle Yi, of course, I’ve thought about it, but I haven’t met anyone suitable yet."

"Haha..."

Yi Zhantian laughed heartily, "Nephew Yan, what do you think of Mumu?"

At this point, if Yan Rufeng couldn’t understand Yi Zhantian’s meaning, he’d be a fool.

Yan Rufeng suppressed his excitement, thinking, "I never expected Uncle Yi to want to betroth Mumu to me. Could it be that Mumu agreed..."

But Yan Rufeng quickly dismissed the thought, mumbling, "It’s a bit unlikely."

Yi Zhantian frowned, "Nephew Yan, what’s unlikely?"

Realizing his mistake, Yan Rufeng hurriedly said, "Uncle Yi, Mumu is cute and beautiful, no need to ask, very likable."
