"you……"

Pu Shangji thought he had misheard, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "What did you say?"

The more he looked at the arrogant and unreasonable female before him, the less she seemed like a real woman.

Ling Yunxi took a deep breath: "I know you don't like me. You only agreed to be with me because of family ties. I don't want to tie you down for life like this."

"So let's annul our marriage. I know the notice has already been sent out, but if you just say you don't want to, I have a way to cancel the wedding."

After Ling Yunxi finished speaking, she observed him.

Pu Shangji's eyes widened in surprise, and he pondered for a moment.

"Heh..." Suddenly, he let out a cold snort.

She leaned closer to him step by step, her eyes sharp: "Do you look down on me? Or..."

"You think I'm not good enough? Hmm?"

"That's not what I meant..." Ling Yunxi frowned, her heart pounding as he leaned closer, and sweat suddenly broke out on her forehead.

Her powers seem to be insufficient.

"If neither of those apply, why are you rejecting me?"

Pu Shangji leaned closer again, now right next to Ling Yunxi's ear.

“I already said that…” Ling Yunxi explained.

"What did you say?" Pu Shangji whispered in her ear, his voice low and deep: "Tethering?"

"ah?"

Faced with Pu Shangji's deliberate misinterpretation, Ling Yunxi felt a wave of dizziness.

She pushed him away abruptly.

"Since you yourself don't care about yourself at all, then I have nothing to say."

After Ling Yunxi finished speaking, she turned and walked away.

Pu Shangji turned around, staring at Ling Yunxi's back. He narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp and focused, as if he were weighing something, or perhaps trying to get to know her again.

The next morning, under blue skies and white clouds.

The wolf clan, with its deafening drums and music, its imposing presence, and the arrival of countless beasts, was a sight to behold.

Representatives of the orcs from various tribes gathered at the Wolf Clan.

This includes Chu Junchen, the son of the Lion King, who was once engaged to Ling Yunxi; Huang Yujing, the younger brother of the Crimson Tiger King; and Fu Huiyi, the son of the Leopard Clan…

They sat around the wedding stage in various postures: some languid, some sitting upright, and some chatting leisurely with each other.

On the wedding stage of the wolf clan.

On a huge, flat boulder, it had been deliberately polished beforehand, making it smooth and slip-resistant.

It is decorated with snow-white flowers and green vines.

Behind them was a huge wooden board with colorful flowers hanging on it, filling the entire place with fragrance.

Colorful birds, some swirling in the air, others perched on the surrounding branches, chirping and singing.

Below the wedding stage.

A vast, open space.

There were dozens of animal bone chairs arranged in front and thousands of wooden chairs placed in the back.

Several deer, with bone cups filled with sweet juice hanging from their antlers, slowly wandered among the tall seats of the orc guests.

In addition to the invited beastmen, there were also top-tier beastmen from the Beast Academy.

Some of them are with the Merfolk, and some are with the Wolf Clan.

The seats were all arranged near the front.

Around the arena, beastmen beat animal skin drums and danced primitive beastman dances.

"Yichuan, I heard that you tricked Ling Yunxi into falling into the water a while ago, almost causing her to drown. Did you apologize to her afterwards?"

Jiang Wangchuan, the son of the Snow Fox Clan Chief, sat on a chair made of animal bones. His white hair fell naturally to his shoulders, and his white animal skin shone brightly in the morning sun.

With an elegant, reserved, and mature demeanor, she turned her head and mentioned this matter to Jiang Yichuan, who was standing next to her.

“Brother…” Jiang Yichuan’s face turned pale, and his clear voice said, “How come even you know about this…”

"How could I not know!" Jiang Wangchuan frowned slightly and turned around:

“Your mother is so angry about what you’ve done that she’s almost driven crazy. Tell me the truth, haven’t you apologized to them yet?”

"No..." Jiang Yichuan lowered his eyes, his fluffy white fox ears drooping: "How is Mother's health?"

"Don't worry about your mother for now, take care of yourself first."

Jiang Wangchuan rolled his eyes and said solemnly, "Apologize to them as soon as possible, no, we must do it today!"

"No, what she did to me was far worse!"

"You still dare to refuse?" Jiang Wangchuan was so angry that he reached out and tugged at his drooping fox ears.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..." Jiang Yichuan shuddered, his tail wagging rapidly behind him.

"Fine, I'll apologize, okay?"

"That's more like it. Remember to prepare some apology gifts."

Jiang Yichuan said impatiently, "I know."

Suddenly, "Wang Chuan!"

Fu Huiyi, the son of the leopard clan, came over with a plate of fruit to greet us.

“Huiyi, you’re here too.” Jiang Wangchuan adjusted his posture.

“Yes, it’s the Holy Mother’s daughter getting married, so I came to join in the fun.” Fu Huiyi sat down in the empty seat next to him.

Jiang Wangchuan took a glass of juice hanging from the deer antlers and gave him one as well.

"I can't believe how fast time flies. We were classmates and good friends back then, and now we've all returned to our respective tribes."

"Who says otherwise..."

Seeing the two of them chatting, Jiang Yichuan got up and slipped away.

On the other side.

"I heard that the protagonist of today's wedding... is your former prospective female, Yu Jing."

Chu Junchen, the son of the Lion King, held a piece of beef jerky in his hand, his body turned towards the Crimson Tiger Emperor Yu Jing sitting next to him.

Huang Yujing's eyes flashed sharply, and he snorted coldly in a low voice: "Isn't it yours too?"

“This…” Chu Junchen raised an eyebrow. “I have never acknowledged her. At most, I have met her once.”

"Hmph..." Huang Yujing sat upright and snorted coldly.

Chu Junchen sat lazily, legs crossed:

"How could she, the daughter of a holy nun, have let herself get into this state? If she were even slightly better, I wouldn't have rejected her without even looking back."

Huang Yujing snorted coldly.

"Stop acting all high and mighty. We're the same." Chu Junchen rolled his eyes.

On a tree not far from the wedding stage.

Xiao Yeyu did not sit in the seat prepared for him below.

He found a huge tree, sat leisurely on its thick trunk, and slowly preened his feathers.

On the other side, Chi Yanling also wanted to transform back to his original form like him, but the thought of the bare space behind him filled her with anger.

At the entrance to the wolf clan, Mo Yanche was not idle. With so many beastmen coming to the wolf clan, he, as the strongest male wolf of the same era, had to remain vigilant at all times.

Of course, he was also tasked with maintaining order within the wolf clan.

Where to?

Mo Yanche sat on a large tree at the entrance of the wolf clan and noticed Jiang Yichuan leaving. He casually asked a question.

"Hey, you scared me!" Jiang Yichuan had already transformed back into his snow fox form and was about to run out.

"Go to the Merfolk and see that guy Xuan Yize."

Jiang Yichuan said a few words briefly and then left.

"Tell my brother that I might not be able to come back today, and tell him not to wait for me."

Mo Yanche did not respond to him.

He knew about Xuan Yize; today was also his wedding day.

But he went back not to get married.

Jiang Yichuan usually gets along best with Xuan Yizhe, so it's normal for him to go to the Merfolk.

The drumming at the wedding venue suddenly stopped, and Ling Huashuang walked steadily onto the stage.
