Chapter 288: If you don’t want to marry, then don’t!

Chapter 288: Chapter 288: If you don’t want to marry, then don’t!

"Physiognomy? Haha... you even know that?"

Ye Wumei’s eyes formed two crescent moons as she laughed, "Then how about I have you look over my boyfriend before I date him?"

Fang Bai nodded seriously and said, "Alright! As long as they pass my scrutiny, I can’t say they’re one in a million, but they’ll definitely be suitable for you!"

Seeing him speak earnestly, Ye Wumei couldn’t help but giggle, laughing so hard that her shoulders shook and the full, upright mounds at her chest quivered, sending ripples through Fang Bai’s heart and making him hurriedly avert his gaze.

After her bout of giggles, Ye Wumei’s face once again turned worried. She rubbed her taiyang acupoints with her index fingers and said anxiously, "I have absolutely no interest in Wang Dong, but my mom has given me a strict order to meet him in Yanjing, no matter what... What should I do?"

At that, she tugged on Fang Bai’s sleeve with a pitiful look, "Fang Bai, please, think of something for me. I’m really worried to death!"

Fang Bai asked, "What if you insist on not seeing Wang Dong?"

With resignation, Ye Wumei said, "I’ve always been a good girl who listens to my mom. If I refuse to see Wang Dong, it will break my mom’s heart and disappoint her. And my mom has already arranged for me to meet with Wang Dong. If I stand him up, it will be a loss of face for him and even the Wang Family, and it could affect the relationship between our Ye Family and the Wang Family..."

"In that case..."

After thinking it over, Fang Bai said, "Then just meet Wang Dong. This way, you’ll give face to both Wang Dong and the Wang Family, and there’ll be nothing your mother can criticize. If you really don’t want to interact with Wang Dong, just make it clear to him face to face and let him give up hope!"

"But..."

Ye Wumei’s eyebrows furrowed deeply and she started rubbing her taiyang acupoints again, "I’ve heard that Wang Dong has a thick face. If he becomes persistent and refuses to take a hint, it’s going to drive me crazy! Moreover... besides my dad, other members of our Ye Family are very eager for me to interact with Wang Dong..."

"Why?"

Fang Bai asked, furrowing his brows.

He knew that in this world, the marriages of the children from prominent clans were not as free as those of common folk. Sometimes for the benefit of the family, these clans would engage in marriages of convenience. If the majority of the Ye Family supported Ye Wumei’s interaction with Wang Dong, then even Ye Xing, the Family Head, would find it difficult to object, leaving Ye Wumei no say in the matter.

"It’s all because of ’Wrathful Beauties’!"

Ye Wumei clenched her fists tightly, furiously saying, "Ever since I was kidnapped, our Ye Family’s interests around the world have been continuously infringed upon by ’Wrathful Beauties,’ causing significant losses. The family members want to have a marriage alliance with the Wang Family of Yanjing, then unite their power to jointly fight against the provocations of ’Wrathful Beauties’..."

"Wrathful Beauties... Again with Wrathful Beauties... They really are like a bad penny!"

Fang Bai muttered, with a cold glint flickering in his eyes.

Because of Ye Wumei’s kidnapping incident, Fang Bai had encountered the internationally infamous organization ’Wrathful Beauties’ several times, having killed many of its members and creating a vendetta of life and death. Although their members had stopped bothering him recently, Fang Bai felt they wouldn’t just let it go and were bound to make a comeback.

However, Fang Bai was fearless. His strength had now reached that of an Earth Level early-stage martial artist in the Ancient Martial World, and he possessed the ability to fight above his level. Moreover, with a thread of Divine Sense born in his Sea of Consciousness, it wasn’t easy for anyone, whether with open assault or covert schemes, to harm him.

Unless there is a Heaven Level Martial Artist within the "Wrathful Beauties" organization, and they are willing to take action.

Fang Bai had already come to understand that in this world, only Hidden Sects had Heaven Level Martial Artists, and these experts from the Hidden Sects usually avoided worldly affairs and did not interfere in mundane matters. Therefore, Fang Bai inferred that "Wrathful Beauties" did not have such powerful individuals. Otherwise, no one in the secular world would likely be able to control the organization’s reckless actions.

Feeling the killing qi suddenly emanating from Fang Bai’s body, Ye Wumei felt an invisible pressure filling the carriage, making it difficult even to breathe, and she couldn’t help but lose color in her face.

"If your family forms an alliance with the Wang Family through marriage, what help could the Wang Family offer you? As far as I know, the headquarters of ’Wrathful Beauties’ is not in the country, and although the Wang Family has some influence, it is only within the country. It seems challenging to go against ’Wrathful Beauties’!"

Seeing the fear in Ye Wumei’s expression, Fang Bai knew his released killing qi had frightened her and, with an apologetic smile, he retracted his aura and asked.

Ye Wumei breathed a sigh of relief, gave Fang Bai a look of reverence, and said, "According to my father, Wang Dong’s grandfather, Wang Huashan, is a Profound Level mid-rank Martial Artist, and he is infinitely close to the Profound Level high-rank, extremely powerful. If he could be persuaded to leave his seclusion, we would stand a much greater chance against ’Wrathful Beauties’."

"The Wang Family actually has such an expert at their disposal; no wonder Wang Dong, at his young age, is already a Yellow Level mid-rank Martial Artist."

Fang Bai expressed his astonishment.

Fang Bai knew that many prominent clans in Huaxia had some heritage. For example, Ye Xing, who is the Family Head of the Ye Family, is a Profound Level beginner-rank Martial Artist, and among the other members of the Ye Family, there are also many Profound Rank Martial Artists.

It was unexpected to Fang Bai that the foundations of the Wang Family of Yanjing were even deeper than those of the Ye Family in Lingnan, to have a nearly Profound Level high-rank Martial Artist in residence.

The Wang Family members in Yanjing were arrogant and overbearing in their actions, having offended many, but they remain unshaken to this day. It appears that Wang Huashan’s presence as an expert must have played a part in this.

It is said that within a special department comprised of justice-minded Ancient Martial experts in Huaxia, Wang Huashan is an important member, and even the current Prime Minister of Huaxia holds him in high regard.

"Yes, many members of our Ye Family want to use the marriage alliance with the Wang Family to leverage their power against ’Wrathful Beauties’. Consequently, they plan to use me as the ’sacrifice’ for the alliance..."

Ye Wumei took a light sniff, her nose slightly sour, and said in a dim tone, "Sometimes I think that for the benefit of the family, I might as well accept my fate, but... I truly don’t want to go against my own heart’s desire! Marrying Wang Dong, I would never be happy for the rest of my life!"

"If you don’t want to marry, then don’t marry!"

Fang Bai’s hand tightened on the steering wheel, and he spoke sternly, "We are good friends, and I won’t ignore your situation. If your Ye Family wishes to confront ’Wrathful Beauties’ in the future, you can come to me, and I’ll do my best to help; if anyone dares to force you to marry Wang Dong, you can also come to me, and I’ll stand up for you!"

Fang Bai had a life-saving grace toward Ye Wumei, as well as a bond from teaching her, and there was also an indescribable affection between them. Fang Bai did not want to see Ye Wumei jump into the "fire pit" that is Wang Dong, under the coercion of her family members.

Fang Bai was an Earth Level Martial Artist, much more powerful than Wang Huashan of the Wang Family. As he agreed to lend a hand in helping the Ye Family against "Wrathful Beauties," there was no need for Ye Wumei to go against her own will and sacrifice her lifetime happiness by marrying Wang Dong.
