Before Hua Shi'an could answer, a man below interjected, "It's your good fortune that our city lord married you. Countless women want to enter the city lord's mansion but can't!"

The man speaking was the same man who led the team to find Qinghu that day. Perhaps seeing that Hua Shi'an had a divine weapon and was fighting the other man to a standstill gave him a lot of courage.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, the man who had just spoken was sent flying against the wall, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood.

Ji Jiuying flicked her sleeve, looking down at the man with a calm voice, "It's your good fortune that I killed you. I wouldn't even bother with anyone else!"

The man stared at Ji Jiuying in shock. How dare she hit him in front of the city lord! In the far north capital, who didn't know that Zhong Zhou was a favorite of the city lord?

Isn't she afraid of angering the city lord?

Clearly, he was disappointed. At this moment, Hua Shi'an only had eyes for Ji Jiuying. He glanced at Zhong Zhou and cursed inwardly, "Serves him right!"

"A beautiful and graceful lady is sought after by gentlemen!" Hua Shi'an looked at Ji Jiuying with a wicked smile on his lips.

The group of onlookers below, judging from this, did the city lord force the woman to marry him?

Feng Che thought to himself, "You call yourself a gentleman?"

Upon hearing this, she slightly lifted her eyelids, glanced coldly at Hua Shi'an, and exuded an aloofness that kept people at a distance.

There are always strange things happening every year, and the elderly see a lot of oddities!

"So eloquent and shameless! Lord Hua, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror?"

Hua Shi'an was stunned for a moment; he couldn't believe that such vulgar language would come out of her mouth.

Those below couldn't help but feel a chill for Ji Jiuying upon hearing this!

Ye Qingchen's lips curled up slightly; she was still as mischievous as ever.

Feng Che looked at Hua Shi'an with disdain, as if to say, "You dare to even think of my niece?"

puff--

Jun Lintian couldn't help but laugh. Hua Shi'an glanced coldly at the source of the laughter. Uncle Ji tugged at Jun Lintian, and he immediately stopped laughing, but his heaving shoulders betrayed him.

At this moment, a voice exclaimed from the crowd, "No wonder that woman looked familiar! She is Princess Anping of Cangyue Kingdom!"

"What? Princess Anping of Cangyue Kingdom? Isn't that Princess Anping who has a contract with the Illusion Dragon?"

"Yes, oh my god! She's so beautiful!"

"I saw that dragon again when I was in the secret realm, but she was dressed in black and had a neutral look back then. Now she looks like a fairy descending to earth."

"Speaking of which, she's our savior!"

"·····"

But Hua Shi'an seemed not to understand human speech, and looked at Ji Jiuying with a wicked smile.

"Hehe, how about we make a bet? If I win, you marry me; if I lose, the bow in my hand is yours!"

Everyone was stunned! But Feng Che and Ye Qingchen clearly disagreed, as even Feng Che could only fight Hua Shi'an to a draw.

"Hua Shi'an, you're bullying me!" Feng Che roared.

"Xiao Jiu, don't fight him. Your uncle will protect you from getting married no matter what!" Feng Che said, looking at Hua Shi'an, but Hua Shi'an didn't take it seriously!

"Xiao Jiu, think it over. He's very strong!" Ye Qingchen advised.

"Yes, Miss is even on par with Second Master Feng!" Qingling said worriedly. That Hua Shi'an actually took advantage of Miss's vulnerability to kidnap her, and even wanted to marry her while she was unconscious. What's the difference between him and a robber!

Yingyue remained silent, but his eyes were filled with murderous intent as he looked at Hua Shi'an! As long as he was there, he would not give Hua Shi'an the chance to marry the mistress.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'm definitely getting that bow!"

"Xiao Jiu, no, I don't agree!" Feng Che said angrily. He had no good feelings towards Hua Shi'an, and in his opinion, no one on this continent was worthy of his niece!

"Second Uncle, believe me, I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do."

After some persuasion, seeing how stubborn Ji Jiuying was, they finally agreed. However, they all shared the same thought: even if Hua Shi'an won, they would rather die than let Xiao Jiuying marry such a person.

Ji Jiuying turned around and smiled gently, her laughter as beautiful as a soft murmur, "It's a deal!"

Hua Shi'an smiled with satisfaction. He knew that no one could resist the temptation of a divine artifact. "As for this bow, I won't use it as a wager, so that no one will say that I am bullying you."

After speaking, Hua Shi'an glanced at Feng Che, and the tension between the two was palpable!

Ji Jiuying's quick agreement was nothing short of suicide in the eyes of those people. They had all witnessed Hua Shi'an's strength, and they did not believe that Ji Jiuying could defeat Hua Shi'an.

"Let's go up the snow mountain to fight, this place is too small!" Ji Jiuying said before flying off towards the snow mountain.

Hua Shi'an chuckled and followed.

Those spiritual cultivators from all over the world also stepped forward. This was a contest between the strong, and they didn't want to miss it.

Yingyue summoned the Roc, and the group gave chase.

On the snow-capped mountain.

Ji Jiuying gathered her spiritual power and ripped off her red wedding dress, which was scattered on the snow and stood out conspicuously.

“Since Princess Anping doesn’t like this wedding dress, we can make it another day,” Hua Shi’an’s shameless voice rang out from behind.

"Lord Hua, what gives you such confidence? Even a fly would twist its ankle walking on the pockmarks on your face, yet you still feel so good about yourself."

Upon hearing this, Hua Shi'an unconsciously touched his face. Did he have dents on his face?

"Hehe~ Princess Anping is quite a surprise! But my confidence doesn't come from anyone, but I believe you will like me."

Ji Jiuying was really annoyed and didn't want to waste her breath arguing with him.

He unleashed the Crimson Phoenix Fan, and a gust of wind mercilessly swept towards Hua Shi'an. Hua Shi'an narrowed his eyes, leaped up, and pointed his red-tasseled spear at the snow mountain. Pillars of snow burst forth from behind him like thunderclaps, and as snowflakes scattered, a fierce force swept over Ji Jiuying.

The strong wind whipped her long black hair up, and her clear phoenix eyes seemed to encompass all things. Deep and sharp, a fierce spiritual power surrounded her and attacked without any mercy.

A wisp of hair obscured the blood lotus between her brows. Her face was expressionless as she gathered spiritual energy in one hand and suddenly opened the Crimson Fire Phoenix Fan. Wind and fire roared and crackled. A beam of fire spread outwards in a circle like ripples on water, causing a deafening, earth-shattering event. Snowflakes on the ground turned into blood flowers and poured down.

Hua Shi'an took a step back, raised an eyebrow, and chuckled. The woman he had his eye on was indeed fierce enough, and he felt a sense of conquest.

The spiritual cultivator who arrived from not far away witnessed this scene and was immediately stunned into place, realizing it was a contest between powerful individuals.

They dared not get too close, lest they be caught in the force and suffer the consequences!
