Chapter 70: Whom Should I Propose To?

  "I give up! I give up!" the night snack said with a somewhat unclear mouth, and the blood in his mouth continued to flow out from where he had lost several teeth...

  "Stop!" The referee saw someone concede and hastily shouted stop, fearing that if they continued fighting, it would result in loss of life.

  "Did I win?" Ye Chen looked at the referee with an innocent expression.

  "You won!" The judge said somewhat speechlessly, what kind of person is this!

  Ye Chen walked down from the stage and came directly to Leng Ruo Xue's side.

  "Xue Er, I won!"

  "Hmm, I see." said Leng Ruoxue with a hint of helplessness.

  The matches between Feng Mo and Di Fei, Huo Qing and Pang Sen all ended with the victories of Feng Mo and Huo Qing, thus concluding the five matches on the first day.

  Leng Ruo Xue and others returned to 'Ya Lan Ge' together after the competition ended.

  In the following two days, 10 more individual matches were held consecutively, among which Leng Ruxue, Ye Chen, Feng Mochen, Huo Qing and Mu Li all won two games in a row, temporarily tied for first place.

  After three days of finals, there will be two days of rest.

  "Hehe, girl, our college must win the championship in the individual competition!" In the reception room, Old Man Qiu said with a smile, the individual competition is the most important match in the college competition.

  "Autumn old man, Pongson from Moon Shadow Academy lost all three matches, we'd better be on our guard against Moon Shadow Academy, lest they go crazy. " Qing Ruo Xue reminded, Pongson is the only seedling left in Moon Shadow Academy, and Moon Shadow Academy has pinned all their hopes on him."

  "This is indeed the case, the shamelessness of Moon Shadow Academy is notorious. Alright, for the next two days, you all stay in 'Ya Lan Pavilion', don't go out. Even if it's absolutely necessary to go out, don't go alone." Autumn Elder said after some thought.

  "Hmm." Cold-as-snow and others nodded, for now they could only do this.

  Several people finished their meeting, and Leng Ruo Xue returned to her own room, directly entering the 'Qian Kun Chui'.

  "Sister." Qing Jue appeared, standing in front of Leng Ruo Xue.

  Cold as snow, she picked up the delicate little baby and said, "I say Qing Jue, why don't you ever grow up."

  "When sister removes my seal, I will naturally grow up." Qing Jue explained.

  "Alas! Who knows how much longer it'll take?" Leng Ruo Xue felt depressed, the Inverse Heaven Decree had nine levels, but she hadn't even broken through to the second level yet. This wouldn't do! She made up her mind that after the academy's competition ended, she would focus on cultivating.

  "Sister, someone is knocking on the door." Qing Jue reminded.

  "Oh." Leng Ruoxue took out the 'Qiankun Ring', opened the door, and the demon was standing right outside.

  "What's wrong?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, looking at the demon, she had told them before returning to her room that they shouldn't disturb her unless it was something important.

  "Huangpu Lian has arrived, do you want to see him?" Ye Chen said somewhat displeased.

  "What's he doing here?" Cold-as-Snow was somewhat perplexed, her stunning face filled with confusion.

  "I don't know, do you want to see him?"

  "Let's meet then!" Leng Ruoxue said somewhat helplessly.

  Leng Ruo Xue left the room and went to the living room with Yao Jie, where Huang Fu Jian was chatting with her grandfather.

  "Miss Leng." Huang Fu saw Leng Ruoxue and stood up involuntarily.

  "Your Highness, please take a seat."

  "I don't know why Your Highness has come here, what is it for?" Leng Ruoxue asked directly.

  "Don't call me Crown Prince, just call me Huangfu Jian."

  "Good." Leng Ruoxue was also calm and collected.

  "It was Mother who made me come." Huang Fu explained.

  "Is there anything wrong with Her Majesty the Queen?"

  "Huangpu Yu Xing has woken up, but he's become an idiot. The empress dowager told me to remind you to be careful, as Xu Guifei won't let you off." Huangpu Jian explained the reason for his visit to Leng Ruo Xue.

  "On behalf of me, thank you for Her Majesty's concern, I will be careful." Leng Ruoxue said politely.

  "I've said what I needed to say, I'll take my leave first." Huang Fu said as he stood up, he really didn't know how to win the girl's favor, and his mother's last words of advice before she left made him very embarrassed.

  "Grandfather, what do you think?" asked Leng Ruoxue after seeing off Huangfu Jiang.

  "Xu'er, let's be on high alert these days!" Leng Qingtian said after some thought. He knew how evil Xu Linger was, so he couldn't let her harm his grandchildren again.

  "Ah, Xue'er, I think I saw the Seventh Prince at the competition venue that day." Leng Qingtian suddenly remembered and said.

  "Seventh Prince? He's back this month?" No wonder Leng Ruo Xue has been feeling like someone is staring at her lately, could it be the Seventh Prince?

  "Grandpa, don't mind him, I think he came with Xu Na'er." Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment and guessed.

  "Uh-huh."

  "Grandpa, I'll go back to my room first."

  "Good."

  The two-day break passed quickly.

  On the fourth morning of the individual finals, Leng Ruoxue and others arrived at the competition venue, drew lots, and sat on the edge of the arena waiting.

  Leng Ruoxue's opponent today drew a wind and snow card, and she was also the first group to take the stage.

  The time for the match arrived quickly, and after the judge's order, the two walked onto the stage.

  "Judge, I concede this match." Feng said to the judge as soon as the game started.

  "Are you sure?" The judge looked at Feng and confirmed calmly.

  "Confirmed."

  "Alright then! The first match today, Leng Ruoxue wins." The judge announced helplessly.

  "Feng Ge, what's going on here?" Leng Ruo Xue asked somewhat displeased after stepping down from the stage. In four matches, all four opponents had unexpectedly conceded defeat.

  "Xue Er, we're not even a match for you! Why waste our time? It's better to conserve our energy and deal with others." Feng Mo Ran explained with a smile.

  "It's all right, miss. We're all on the same side, no need to be so particular. Unity is what matters most." Feng Da said as he stepped forward.

  "Snow, what they said makes sense!" The demon also echoed in agreement.

  "Don't tell me you're going to give up too?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the demon and asked, she had always been unclear about the demon's strength, and really wanted to have a good fight with him.

  "Ah, Xue'er, you're the mistress of our household, I wouldn't dare to fight with you! You must spare my life!" The demon said with a flattering tone.

  "Am I the master of this house?" asked Leng Ruoxue, her beautiful eyes staring tightly at the demon.

  "Ah ah, you absolutely are!"

  "My words will surely be heeded then!" said Leng Ruoxue with a faint smile.

  "Listen, you must listen!"

  "What if I don't let you admit defeat?" Cold-as-snow gazed at the demon with an unfathomable depth, a hint of calculation flashing in her beautiful eyes.

  "Xue Er, in front of so many people, you'd better show some mercy. If you want to use domestic violence on me, wait until there's no one around and then beat me up!" The demon looked at Leng Ruo Xue with a pitiful expression, his face full of pleading.

  “……”

  After hearing what the demon said, Leng Ruo Xue's head was filled with black lines. This demon had gone too far! When did she want to start domestic violence against him?

  "Hmph! Cold as snow, relying on teammates to win so many games, what skills do you have? Brother Qing will definitely defeat you." At this time, Xi Men Ya walked over and said with a disdainful face.

  "Where did this madwoman come from? So rude!" Cold-as-snow lightly swept a glance at Ximen Ya, her tone flat.

  "Damn it, who are you calling a madwoman?" Ximen Ya bellowed, regardless of her image.

  "Calm down, calm down, your boyfriend definitely won't like a shrew. Look at Miss Shui, she's much gentler than you." Leng Ruo Xue said with a deliberate glance at Shui Yan Ran, who was tenderly caring for Huo Qing, and provoked.

  Ximenya's schemes are far inferior to Shuixinran's, and even ten of her wouldn't be a match for Shuixinran.

  "You... humph!" Ximen Ya glared at Leng Ruoxue with a cold gaze, but her eyes were filled with emotions as she looked at Ye Chen, then elegantly walked in the direction where Huo Qing was.

  "Brother Qing, Ya will be cheering for you from under the stage!"

  Ximen Ya's gentle voice came from a short distance away. Upon hearing it, Han Yue's body hair all stood on end. These women were truly skilled at acting.

  "Xue Er, you must also cheer for me from under the stage!" The demon said with some arrogance. His opponent today was Huo Qing, and he would definitely beat him until he was rolling on the ground looking for his teeth. Hmph! Anyone who dared to covet his woman should die!

  "Uh-huh, we must win today." Leng Ruoxue nodded and said.

  "Don't worry, don't worry, I won't let my future wife down." The demon promised.

  Next group, Huo Qing vs Ye Chen.

  "Xu'er, it's my turn now." The demon said, turning around and walking up onto the stage.

  "I won't show mercy." said Huo Qing with a gentle tone.

  "No one wants you to show mercy." Ye Chen said somewhat impatiently, what's wrong with these people from Long Sheng College? Why do they all like to say things like this before a fight.

  "Let's get started!" Huo Qing didn't want to waste any more time either. This year, the students of Feng Tian Academy were his greatest enemies.

  "What's the point of saying more!" Ye Chen said displeased, hurry up and finish, he wants to go accompany Xue Er.

  Huǒ Qíng listened to Yè Chén's words, somewhat annoyed, and directly used his strongest spiritual technique 'Fire Cloud Array Mountain'. Only seeing the massive fire attribute spiritual power, like a towering high mountain, pressed down on Yè Chén...

  "Wow, that's amazing! This should be the strongest heavenly spiritual technique of your Fire Clan, right?" A middle-aged man said to another man of similar age beside him in the VIP seat.

  "Yes, this spiritual technique can only be learned by geniuses like Qing'er. Ordinary geniuses are not qualified to use it." The middle-aged man said with a proud face, Qing'er was the most outstanding child of their Huo family in this generation, and also his pride.

  "That night, Chen was also mysterious, and it's unknown who will win this battle?" said another middle-aged man with some curiosity.

  "By the way, Ye Xiong, isn't that Ye Chen not a member of your Ye family?" He turned his head to ask the middle-aged man in all black who had been silent and taciturn beside him.

  "It's a collateral relative of our Ye family." The man in black said with a serious expression, his lips tightly pursed.

  Damn it, the crossbreed actually dared to hurt his son and had a talent that surpassed his son's. This Night Chen must not be spared, otherwise he would pose a threat to his son in the future. The black-clothed man thought to himself, having already formed the intention to kill Night Chen.

  The people on the VIP seats had different thoughts, while Leng Ruoxue below looked at the extremely large fire attribute spiritual power pressing down on the demon and also became worried. She could feel the pressure of the spiritual power from below the stage, let alone the demon on the stage. She wondered if the demon would be able to handle it... Thinking about this, her heart couldn't help but knot up...

  Ye Chen on the stage watched the incoming spiritual energy with a smile, and casually released his own dark attribute spiritual energy. The black spiritual energy, which was only the size of a fist, fearlessly approached the fire-type spiritual energy that was over a hundred times larger than it. Soon, the fist-sized black spiritual energy was surrounded by the fire spiritual energy, until it disappeared...

  "Isn't this like hitting an egg against a rock? What can that little bit of spiritual power accomplish?"

  "It's settled then, it seems that Zhēnghuǒ has won this round."

  The audience began to discuss again.

  As for the discussion among the audience under the stage, Huo Qing on the stage didn't care at all, because he simply didn't believe that Ye Chen really only had this much skill.

  "Don't tell me that's all you've got, if so, it would be very disappointing." The passionate and warlike person said, finding a good opponent is not easy.

  "You'll find out soon enough."

  "What's going on?!" someone in the audience exclaimed.

  Only to see the fire attribute spirit power on the stage getting smaller and smaller, while the dark attribute spirit power that was thought to have been swallowed up slowly grew stronger...

  "This..."

  Everyone who saw this scene was speechless. On the first day of the finals, Ye Chen won against Ye Jia Shaozhu with this move. Who would have thought that today he would use the same move again? What kind of divine skill is this? How can it absorb all kinds of spiritual energy?

  When that small dark attribute spirit power completed its mission, it immediately returned to its master's side and circled around Ye Chen in a flattering manner.

  Ye Chen stretched out his hand and grasped the dark attribute spiritual energy in his palm. After a moment, the spiritual energy vanished.

  "It's my turn now." Ye Chen said calmly, although he was the one who had made the first move just a moment ago.

  Ye Chen's words had just fallen, a strand of black spiritual energy finer than hair shot towards Huo Qing. The moment it touched his body, it bound him round and round...

  Huǒ qíng yī lèng, xiǎng yào zhēn tuō, kě shì què hěn móe zhēn bù kāi, suí jí, yī gè quán tóu zhāo huì dào le tā jùn měi de liǎn shàng, shèn zhī, quán shēn xià xià dōu méi néng xìng miǎn...

  Translation:

  He was caught off guard and tried to break free, but couldn't manage to do so. Immediately, a fist came flying towards his handsome face, and even his entire body wasn't spared...

  Tai's face was as cold as snow, with a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead. What kind of grudge did this demon have against them? He specialized in slapping people's faces, and Ye Xiao couldn't escape this fate either. Alas! It's really pitiful! A beautiful man like him is going to become a pig-headed person again.

  "You barbarian, stop it at once! Don't you dare hit my Gege!" Water Fairy looked on as her heartthrob was being beaten up and immediately lost her composure, shouting loudly without regard for appearances.

  Ximen Ya also looked a bit dazed at the scene, but she wasn't as excited as Shui Xiang Ran. After all, she wasn't someone who would only marry for love, she just liked strong men, whoever was the strongest would be her choice. Now looking at this situation, Ye Chen's majestic aura really had a masculine charm to it!

  "Judge, did I win?" Ye Chen still looked at the judge with an innocent expression.

  "You... you win." The referee said somewhat weakly, Huo Qing hadn't conceded defeat, but it was clear he no longer had the strength to fight back. Moreover, the referee was very certain that if he didn't declare Ye Chen the winner, he would continue to beat him up.

  "Thank you!" Ye Chen thanked politely and walked down from the stage calmly.

  As for the fire, of course, it was put out by someone.

  "Night brother, you're so cool!" Ximen Ya exclaimed as soon as Ye Chen came down, rushing to be the first to greet him with a somewhat infatuated tone.

  "Don't call me Brother Ye, scram!" Ye Chen yelled somewhat impatiently, then, without even bothering to glance at Xi Men Ya, he strode over to Leng Ruo Xue's side with a fawning expression.

  "Xu'er, I won, is there a reward?" The demonically beautiful face was filled with expectation as it looked at Leng Ruo Xue.

  "What reward do you want?" Leng Ruoxue gazed at the demon with a smile that was not quite a smile.

  "Give me a kiss!" The demon said with some shyness.

  "Alright! You close your eyes." Leng Ruoxue agreed very readily.

  "Good, good!" The demon's heart was excited! Xue Er finally wanted to kiss him, he obediently closed his eyes.

  “……”

  "It's all over!" said Leng Ruoxue indifferently.

  "Kiss... is that it?" How can it be so fast?! I just kissed his face, and it feels kind of off, like it's fluffy or something.

  "Snow, you're too fast, no one has any feeling." The demon said with some dissatisfaction, but his eyes were somewhat suspicious as he looked at the small silver wolf in Cold Snow's arms. When did this little thing come out?

  "Xiao Fengfeng, go give him a kiss!" Leng Ruoxue said to the little Silver Wolf in her arms.

  "Sister!" Xiaofeng's fluffy little face was full of shyness, waa... Sister is so bad, her first kiss actually went to a male...

  "Xu'er, is this little thing yours?" The demon asked with a terrified face, one hand constantly wiping the place that had just been kissed.

  "What's wrong?" Cold-as-snow looked at the demon with a confused expression, her face full of puzzlement.

  "Ugh... I want you to kiss me!" The demon looked at Leng Ruo Xue with a wronged expression, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears that threatened to fall at any moment.

  "You didn't say!" Cold-as-snow's face was full of innocence.

  "Now I've said it, now you kiss me!" The demoniacal being said relentlessly.

  "No! You said just a peck, but now you've already kissed me!" Leng Ruoxue said firmly.

  "Xue Er, you're too evil!" Not tolerating this kind of bullying, the demoness felt more and more wronged, so she turned her head around and ignored Cold-as-Snow.

  "Hey! Hey! You little monster!" Leng Ruo Xue poked his back with her finger.

  Who would have thought that the demon not only ignored her, but also shook his shoulders non-stop, as if crying...

  This demon won't really cry in front of so many people, will it? Leng Ruoxue had many doubts in her mind. No way, she couldn't fall for it. This demon loved to pretend to be pitiful in front of her...

  Thinking of this, Leng Ruo Xue made up her mind and decided not to bother with him for the time being, lest he take advantage of the situation again!

  Until all the matches of the day were over, they returned to 'Ya Lan Ge', and Yao Jiao had been ignoring Leng Ruo Xue...

  The fifth day...

  The Sixth Day...

  The competition continued as scheduled, but from the fourth day's final to the sixth day's final, the demon had not responded to Leng Ruo Xue at all...

  In the reception room of Fengtian College's 'Ya Lan Ge'.

  "Miss, you and Night Commander still haven't made up yet!" Feng Da walked to Leng Ruo Xue's side and couldn't help but ask. For the past two days or more, the low pressure between Night Commander and Miss had made everyone afraid to speak loudly, each person being extremely cautious.

  "He won't even acknowledge me, what can I do?!" Leng Ruoxue said helplessly. That scoundrel was being too petty, it had been over two days and he still wouldn't talk to her.

  "Miss, men are to be coaxed, you're a woman, you should give in a bit to the Night Commander!" Feng Da said with what he thought was utmost fairness.

  Leng Ruo Xue heard Feng Da's words and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. What is this about men being coaxed? What is this about women yielding to men?

  Why does she sound so twisted? Is it said in reverse? Although, she has never been in touch with love in her past life or present life, but it's not that deceiving, is it?

  "Miss, you'd better go and coax Night Commander well, he's good at coaxing." Feng Da continued to say to himself.

  "Alas! Alright then!" It won't do to keep going on like this, without any monsters sticking to her side, she's actually a bit unaccustomed to it!

  Leng Ruo Xue left the reception room and rushed straight to Yao Jiao's room.

  She arrived at the door of the demon's room and knocked on it, but no one answered for a long time.

  Is nobody there? I haven't heard that the demon has gone out. Leng Ruo Xue waited for a while, turned around and was just about to leave when the door opened.

  "What are you doing?" Leng Ruoxue walked into the room and couldn't help but ask. This demon was really too abnormal.

  "Daydreaming!" The demoness said coldly, her eyes still slightly red.

  "Are you still angry? I was wrong, don't be angry anymore, okay?" Leng Ruo Xue coaxed patiently.

  The demon lowered his head and remained silent...

  "Am I talking to you? Can you hear me?"

  The demon child still doesn't speak...

  "If you don't speak up, I'll leave!" Leng Ruoxue threatened, then turned around and prepared to leave.

  Just two steps away, she was tightly hugged by a pair of sturdy arms.

  "Don't go!" The demon tyrant said, his arms embracing even tighter.

  "You ignore me and I won't leave?" Leng Ruoxue said on purpose, but in her heart she was overjoyed. Humph! It's not just the demon who can act.

  "It was you who bullied me first." The demon said with a wronged tone.

  "I..." Just as I was about to speak, Grandpa outside the door interrupted me.

  "Xue Er, someone from Huo's family has arrived." Leng Qing Tian stood outside the door, knocked on Ye Chen's door first, and then said directly.

  "Got it, grandpa."

  "You wicked creature, the Huo family wouldn't be here to settle scores with you, would they?" Leng Ruoxue guessed, this wicked creature had beaten the Huo family's talented young master until his face was completely disfigured, it would be strange if the Huo family let him off!

  "Hmm, then you have to protect me." Ye Chen said with a bit of arrogance, Mmm, Xue Er smells so good and feels so soft!

  "Let's go take a look!" Leng Ruoxue said, with three more matches to go, the individual competition would be completely over. I wonder if Huo's family will send someone at this time, and what does it mean?

  "Do I have to go out?" The demon lord said somewhat reluctantly, it's rare for a beauty to be in his arms, how could he bear to leave? Ugh...it really isn't the right time, you know, his endurance over the past two days was all for this moment!

  "Grandpa has come to call us, of course we have to go." said Leng Ruoxue, if it wasn't for something important, Grandpa wouldn't have come to disturb her.

  "Fine!" The demon reluctantly said, but his arms holding Xue'er did not loosen, and he was still not satisfied with the hug!

  "Let go!" How can I go out like this?!

  "I won't! I haven't hugged enough yet!" The demon said somewhat willfully.

  "We'll go take a look at what's going on first, and then come back to let you hug." Leng Ruoxue cooed, this demon was sometimes just like a little kid.

  "This is what you said!" The demon said happily.

  "Uh-huh, I said so."

  After the two left the room, they went to the living room. A senior member of Huo's family was sitting in the living room waiting for her.

  "Xue Er, this is the great elder of the Huo family," said Qiu Long Lao.

  "Elder, hello." Leng Ruoxue gave a polite greeting.

  "Hehe, Miss Leng is being polite." The Great Elder of the Huo family looked at Leng Ruoxue with satisfaction. The current Leng Ruoxue was a far cry from her past self, where she used to be a detestable fool! Who knows how many people have been pining for her? However, such a woman with both strength and beauty, probably only their young master could match up to her."

  The Great Elder of the Huo family thought about his mission this time, and casually glanced at Ye Chen beside Leng Ruoxue. He frowned slightly. Although Ye Chen's strength was not bad, in terms of status and position, he couldn't be compared to their young master at all. So, he was very confident that after Leng Ruoxue heard his intentions, she would definitely make the most correct choice.

  "What brings you here this time, Great Elder?" asked Leng Ruoxue directly, her time was precious, so it's better to get straight to the point.

  "Hehe, don't be impatient, Miss Leng! Listen to me slowly." The Great Elder was extremely calm.

  "Elder, just say what you want to say, we have a match the day after tomorrow!" said Leng Ruoxue, implying that they didn't have much time to waste on him.

  "Hehe, Miss Leng is still an impatient one." The elder said with a smile, his face full of warmth.

  "It's fine as long as the elder knows." Leng Ruoxue was driven impatient by this slow and sluggish elder.

  "Hehe, that's right, General Leng and Miss Leng. Today I'm mainly here to propose a marriage." The Great Elder said his purpose, but his words were like a bomb, almost blowing the souls out of everyone present.

  "Propose... propose marriage? To whom?" Leng Qingtian stuttered, had he just hallucinated?

  "Of course it's Miss Leng!" The elder said matter-of-factly.

  "What?!" The demon was enraged as soon as he heard the elder's words. Did the Fire Family think he was just a decoration?! They actually came to propose to his fiancée, how dare they!

  "What's gotten into you? Let the elder finish speaking!" Leng Ruoxue hastily pulled back the furious Yao Jiao, coaxing him.

  Fine, he endured! He wanted to see what the great elder had to say. Ye Chen strongly suppressed his anger and glared at the great elder of the Huo family.

  "Wait, old man, which Miss Leng?" Leng Qingtian asked somewhat perplexedly. He only had one granddaughter and she was already engaged.

  "General is really fond of joking, of course it's Miss Leng Xue! Aren't you the only granddaughter?" The elder tried to ignore him, staring at his gaze.

  "Elder, I'm afraid it's not possible! My granddaughter already has a fiancé." Leng Qingtian explained.

  Digression

  Thank you for the beautiful crystal and flowers from jenhui.
