Chapter 270 The End of Fate
"I……"
The cold, masculine voice from the high-standing man on the stage reached out, and Shu Ning opened her mouth, but the words stuck in her throat.
The audience was all around, many of them watching with a theatrical gaze, while others, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up for the Holy Maiden on stage.
"Where did this female come from, interrupting someone else's wedding?"
"The female of the viper leader, so ignorant of etiquette?"
"I can't stand it anymore, Holy Mother, kick her out!"
"Yeah, kick her out!"
"..."
The surrounding noises quickly escalated into a cacophony.
"Jin Tong, if you're going to marry another female, shouldn't you end your partnership with me first?"
A loud, clear voice broke through the noisy shooing.
The entire hall fell silent instantly.
"What...does she mean?"
"I don't know..."
The guests quieted down again and all looked at the two people on the stage.
Especially that young and handsome snow fox beastman.
"Jin Tong?" the male on the stage asked in confusion, anger flashing in his eyes. "What nonsense are you talking about!?"
"Female, please have some self-respect. If you continue to pester me like this, I don't care whose female you are, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Seeing that things were not going well, the holy female of the merfolk, who was about to call for people to drive them away, was overjoyed when she heard these words.
“You…” Shu Ning bit her trembling lower lip and clenched her fists.
His chest heaved violently with heavy breathing.
Suddenly, a rough yet warm hand grasped her slender wrist.
A sense of security filled her heart, and the female's tightly clenched fists loosened slightly, her trembling body calming down considerably.
Looking up, she saw a pair of deep, gentle, golden vertical pupils looking down at her, their eyes filled with worry and heartache.
The moment he saw her tears, Yi Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, and his brows furrowed.
He gently wiped it away, bent down to kiss her forehead, and stroked her hair with his other hand.
A moment later, as he turned his head, his eyes became terrifyingly gloomy.
“Jin Tong…” Yi Yuan’s tone was suppressed, clear and cold.
With a sinister look in his eyes, he stared at the male orc on the stage. "If you don't make things clear today, you can forget about getting married!"
"What...what's going on?"
"Could it be..."
The guests nearby suddenly changed the subject, realizing that there might be more to the story.
"You guys are just here to cause trouble, aren't you!?"
The male on the stage showed no fear, gripping the sword at his waist, his expression already on guard.
While keeping watch, he gently comforted the female beside him, "Don't be afraid, Mistress. Let your husband go and deal with them."
"Jin Tong, is it really you?"
Mo Li shielded Shu Ning behind her, staring incredulously at the familiar yet unfamiliar male on the stage.
With a look of disdain: "Isn't it said that your fox clan only has one mate for life?"
"Hmph...who would have thought she'd change partners so quickly in just a few months!"
He deliberately raised his voice: "I really overestimated you."
"Mo Li, what exactly is going on?" Mo Yu realized something and stood up to come over.
"Second Brother, the specifics are still unclear, but it's certain that the one up there is Jin Tong, who is also Ning Ning's other beast husband," Mo Li replied simply.
“If that’s really the case…” Mo Yu narrowed his eyes, looking at the orcs on the stage with disdain.
It seems there's no longer any need for the merfolk to establish diplomatic relations.
"Ah? I didn't expect it to be like this..."
The observing guests suddenly realized what was going on.
"He hasn't even ended his previous relationship, and he's already seducing a new female. What a scumbag! Ugh!"
The two females on the stage frowned slightly when they sensed the conversation was turning sour.
"What nonsense are you talking about? There is no one named Jin Tong here, and I am not your beast husband. If you keep making trouble, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Get out of here while you still can!"
The male on the stage was already furious.
"Someone come here!" shouted a female nearby.
Soon, a group of armed beastmen entered the hall and quickly formed a circle around Shu Ning and the others.
"Mermaid Holy Female, what do you mean by this?" Yi Yuan frowned, his face darkened, and he exuded a cold aura.
"Snake leader, your females slandered my beast husband as your female's beast husband and openly ruined my wedding. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
The merman saintess looked the females below her up and down, her eyes filled with contempt and mockery, a sneer curling at the corners of her lips.
"What's there to explain? Your beast husband just married our Ningning a few months ago. As the highest leader of the Merfolk, didn't you bother to find out anything about him?"
Yi Yuan caught a glimpse of her arrogant and domineering demeanor, and his eyes turned cold.
"Or do you know he has females, but still choose to mate with him?"
"you……"
Yi Yuan spoke methodically, while the Holy Mother of the Jiao Clan frowned.
"Who said I didn't send people to the fox clan to investigate? It's just that the fox clan doesn't have such a person at all."
"And your female, I remember she had a fox-clan beast husband, but that beast husband was a red fox, which has nothing to do with my new beast husband."
"You just grab any good-looking male and claim it as yours? Do you think my merfolk are easy to bully?!"
As she finished speaking, she deliberately raised her voice, filling the entire palace with her loud, shrill tone.
"Jin Tong, are you really that spineless?" Yi Yuan wanted to say something, but felt Shu Ning pulling him from the side.
His angry gaze faltered for a moment, and he turned around.
Shu Ning watched the scene of the orcs confronting each other around her.
This includes the Viper Clan beastmen and the Jiao Clan beastmen.
“Yiyuan, forget it. Since he likes the Holy Maiden of the Merfolk so much, I don’t want to force him. I don’t want to ruin the harmony between the tribes because of me…”
“Ningning…” Mo Li frowned and turned around.
Shu Ning took a deep breath, walked past Yi Yuan and Mo Li, and stepped forward.
"Jin Tong, listen up!"
Shu Ning forced herself to remain calm: "Since you have chosen someone else, then our marriage ends here!"
Shu Ning's voice wasn't loud, but all the orcs in the palace heard it clearly, especially the males standing on the platform.
The female's resolute words reached his ears, and a pang of pain suddenly flashed through the fox's heart.
"hiss……"
It felt like I had lost something important.
He reached up and touched his chest.
It's throbbing violently.
A tear had rolled down her cheek without her noticing.
Reaching out to touch my cheek, the water droplets on my fingertips were crystal clear, both real and unreal.
Looking at the sadness in the eyes of the women below the stage, he frowned slightly.
The moment she turned around, he released the female he was holding and unconsciously took a step forward.
The female figure gradually disappeared into the distance.
His vision also became blurred.
The female eventually disappeared into the crowd.
That figure...
The familiar scene reappeared—almost exactly the same as the figure that had appeared in my dreams countless times.
He started walking, wanting to catch up.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my head.
"ah……"
He quickly covered his head, his whole body trembling, and his legs began to go weak.
With a "bang," everything went black.
The shouts in my ears gradually faded away.
