Three years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Fang Yuan has successfully graduated from university.
Next was her twentieth birthday.
A female's twentieth birthday is her coming-of-age ceremony, and as a female in the Awakening Space, this coming-of-age ceremony is naturally grand.
Especially Fang Yuan, a duke who is unique in the empire.
Many people attended the banquet; they were all there to witness Fangyuan's growth.
It was also the moment to witness her choosing a husband.
As the dazzling lights illuminated the banquet hall of the Duke's mansion, Fang Yuan appeared at the top of the stairs on the second floor in a light blue off-the-shoulder long evening gown.
The huge blue diamond necklace around her neck sparkled under the lights.
She walked slowly towards Situ Ze, arm in arm with him.
Over the course of three years, the girl's charming appearance became even more captivating and alluring.
After taking the Rejuvenating Pill, her figure became even more curvaceous.
She shone brightly under the lights, making it hard to look away.
"This duke is really beautiful; she is the most beautiful female I have ever seen."
A male orc looked around and muttered to himself.
"No matter how pretty you are, it's not your turn. Didn't you see the royal family and those other officials are here?" another male orc reminded him.
"I saw it, can't I be a little envious? After all, this Duke is a rare beauty inside and out."
The male, who had spoken earlier, said somewhat resentfully.
Because of her online space, the prices of nutrient solutions and soothing agents have dropped significantly in recent years.
"·····"
Those who attended the banquet all praised Fang Yuan's beauty.
Beyond that, there was more jealousy towards her future husband.
Meanwhile, the few people who were being envied were now mocking each other, hoping to dance their first dance with Fang Yuan.
As the male Fang Yuan has her eye on, it would be great if he could dance the first dance with her at her coming-of-age ceremony.
That would mean becoming her first husband.
"Fifth Prince, do you intend to use your royal status to suppress us?"
Ruan Baitang looked at Jiang Nancheng in front of her with some displeasure.
What does it mean that this guy blocked his way as soon as he arrived?
Jiang Nancheng looked at him in surprise:
"Why would you think that? Wasn't it agreed that His Majesty the Duke would choose his own dance partner?"
"Then why are you standing right in front of me? Don't you think that's very rude?" Ruan Baitang asked coldly.
This guy stood at the very front as soon as he arrived, clearly trying to block them.
"Sorry, I'm late and didn't notice! I'll go to the other side then!"
Jiang Nancheng smiled apologetically, then walked to the other side.
He knew from a young age that he had to fight for what he wanted.
He stood in front of them on purpose; his goal was to get to the other side.
"Damn, we've been tricked!"
It wasn't until Ruan Baitang saw Jiang Nancheng's new location that she belatedly realized she had been tricked.
That was the place where Fang Yuan had come down from. The others had been too embarrassed to go there before, but this guy did it on purpose.
"I'm really curious, how have you managed to stay here for four years and still be so stupid?"
Si Yaxiu said with a hint of sarcasm.
He knew he would spend most of his time on the battlefield, so he didn't insist on becoming the number one male warrior in the area.
This fish is determined to be the number one male in the area, yet it's so naive.
Turning his head to look at that cunning fox, he suddenly felt that it wouldn't be bad for him to become the first male husband.
At least you don't have to worry about your female master being sold off later.
"What are you two talking about? May I overhear?"
Renault walked over, dressed in a dark blue tuxedo.
He had guarded the area for four years, and finally, he got this opportunity.
It's just unknown whether Fang Yuan will accept his invitation.
"Why are you wearing a tuxedo today? Can't you do your job as a bodyguard properly?" Ruan Baitang gave Renault a haughty look.
In his mind, this person was Fang Yuan's chief guard.
He didn't see Fang Yuan treat him any differently.
"I will certainly not neglect His Excellency's banquet. The guards around the venue are much stronger than usual, so Dean Ruan can rest assured," Renault replied calmly.
Before today, everyone had the same status.
After today, who knows...
"System, who do you think I should choose as my first beast husband?"
Fang Yuan held Situ Ze's arm and muttered to himself to the system.
She overheard the conversation of several people downstairs before she came down.
"Didn't you already decide?" the system asked rhetorically.
"Alright, I have indeed decided on someone." Fang Yuan looked around at the people in the hall.
After the preceding procedures were completed, the dance party began.
Fang Yuan's gaze turned to Jiang Nancheng.
Sensing Fang Yuan's gaze, Jiang Nancheng's lips curled up. He then took a few steps forward, stood in front of Fang Yuan, and gentlemanly extended his hand:
"Your Grace, would you like to dance with me?"
"sure!"
Fang Yuan smiled back and placed her hand in Jiang Nancheng's hand.
Seeing Fang Yuan accept Jiang Nancheng's invitation, Ruan Baitang frowned.
"Why would Xiaoyuan choose him? Aren't I good enough for you?"
He was genuinely resentful. He had clearly spent more time with Fang Yuan, so why did he choose that vixen?
"Isn't this obvious?" Si Yaxiu asked back, holding his wine.
Unless the female is stupid, she won't choose this idiot as her first male.
"You yourself were defeated by him, what's there to be proud of?" Ruan Baitang retorted.
They were all defeated by that guy; why would we want to kick him when he's down?
Watching the graceful and harmonious dance of the two people in the middle, Si Yaxiu only glanced at him:
"I never intended to be her first beastly husband!"
He would be content as long as he became her husband.
Although Fang Yuan was dancing with Jiang Nancheng, her spiritual energy was constantly being projected outwards.
She understood what the two men were saying.
So after dancing with Jiang Nancheng, she chose to dance with Si Yaxiu, and only lastly with Ruan Baitang.
"Why am I the last one? Yuanyuan, don't you like me?"
Ruan Baitang asked quietly while dancing with Fang Yuan.
Is he really that unlikable?
Is he even inferior to Si Yaxiu?
"If I disliked you, would I still dance with you?" Fang Yuan retorted.
She's definitely not going to give him a straight answer.
"Okay, I think I'm pretty likable."
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Ruan Baitang's mood improved again.
Not far away, Ruan Baitang's older brother looked at his younger brother's naive and innocent appearance and sighed.
"Yes, especially when you're not talking, I love that cool and aloof look of yours!"
Fang Yuan showered him with praise, making him so happy that he finished the dance.
After dancing with him, Fang Yuan chose to step aside and watch others dance.
Upon seeing this, the others instantly understood that the noblewoman had chosen these three men as her husbands.
