No one is allowed to force a daughter of the Zhou family to marry!

The people surrounding them who had come to attend the cocktail party were all whispering in low voices, while the Eight Great Families all frowned!

This was not how Marriage Proposal Letters were delivered; first of all, the Dragon King himself had not come!

No one knew what the situation with this New Dragon King was.

Whether he was tall or fat, how old he was, what he looked like, or what his character was like—all of these were unknowns!

Secondly, delivering Marriage Proposal Letters to eight families all at once was something unheard of since ancient times!

Especially since the Eight Great Families were all top-tier wealthy clans in Shanghai; now, in front of so many people, he actually said he wanted to marry eight!

Where would that leave the Face of the Eight Great Families?

Everyone was a person of status; in the end, who would be the wife and who would be the concubines?

"Now that the Marriage Proposal Letters have been delivered, let the heads of each Family come forward and collect their own!"

"When Lord Dragon King returns, he will bring the Marriage Contract and come to your doors to marry them!"

The Dragon King Emissary swept his gaze over the crowd, taking in everyone's expressions.

He also knew that doing it this way would definitely make the Eight Great Families unhappy and cause them to lose all Face!

But he didn't care; in his view, these Eight Great Families were just servants of the Dragon King.

He was now representing the Dragon King to deliver the Marriage Proposal Letters; these Eight Great Families had to accept them whether they wanted to or not!

As his voice fell, not a single person from the Eight Great Families stepped forward to receive the Marriage Proposal Letters!

The atmosphere at this moment became heated.

People from other families felt the increasingly heavy atmosphere and shut their mouths; it was best to just watch now and absolutely not speak.

If they offended either side, it would likely be more than their own families could bear!

"Lord Dragon King Emissary, first of all, I thank the Dragon King for his affection for my granddaughter, but my granddaughter already has a marriage engagement. How about choosing someone else?"

The Liu Family, Li Family, and Qin Family had all felt the Dragon King's wrath before, so they remained silent for a while.

But the other families had not; the reason they were respectful toward the Dragon King was only because of the deeds they had heard about him before.

They hadn't seen it with their own eyes or felt it personally.

Therefore, they weren't as afraid of this so-called Dragon King as those three families were.

In their hearts, they even scoffed at the claim that the so-called Dragon King controlled Luck.

Thus, they were currently giving the Dragon King Face, but if it truly touched their interests, they were still unwilling!

At this moment, the one speaking was the Zhu Family! The Old Patriarch of the Zhu Family was full of energy, his voice resonating with vigor.

After he finished speaking, the Zhao Family and Yang Family also began to talk about marriage engagements.

As for Zhou Cheng, he was currently watching the drama unfold.

No wonder those Dragon Kings, after coming down from the mountains, would take Marriage Contracts and go marry several young misses.

So that's how the Marriage Proposal Letters were delivered; impressive, truly impressive.

Zhou Wanyu, who had originally been standing in the crowd casually watching the spectacle, frowned instantly when she heard this so-called Dragon King Emissary delivering Marriage Proposal Letters and saying he wanted to marry her.

She then quickly walked to Zhou Cheng's side and grabbed the corner of Zhou Cheng's suit jacket with one hand.

She hadn't even met this so-called Dragon King yet, and she didn't want to marry him, especially not along with seven other women to one man!

This was feudalism!

"Xiao Cheng, what do you think?" Feiyu's brow was locked in a frown as he turned to look at Zhou Cheng, wanting to ask for his opinion.

"What else can I think? According to the laws of the Xia Country, we have a monogamous system, so this is an illegal act. Our Zhou Family definitely cannot do this," Zhou Cheng said softly.

This made Wanyu breathe a sigh of relief.

Then her heart filled with joy; her second brother was still very reliable. Indeed, the law-abiding and law-savvy second brother was the most handsome.

Feiyu also nodded upon hearing Zhou Cheng's words.

If Wanyu and that Dragon King were mutually in love, it would be fine, but if Wanyu was unwilling, he would naturally do his best to protect Wanyu. No one can forcefully marry a daughter of my Zhou Family!

Wanyu was delighted to see Feiyu nod without hesitation as well.

Her big brother and second brother were both great; one was gentle, and the other was domineering.

Qin Ming also became anxious after hearing Wanyu's name!

He quickly walked to Old Master Qin's side.

He whispered, "Grandfather..."

"Don't speak yet. I know you can't bear to see your cousin marry like this, but..." Old Master Qin said in a low voice, his mind thinking of the five families that had been wiped out before, hesitating and wavering.

"No, Grandfather, how can they deliver a Marriage Proposal Letter to the Zhou Family to marry Wanyu? She's had a marriage engagement with me for a long time; she's the person I love most..."

Qin Ming's words made Old Master Qin's expression turn awkward!

He glared at Qin Ming. Good boy, it doesn't matter if your own cousin gets married off, yet you're managing the Zhou Family's affairs first? You just don't want the person you like to marry someone else, right?

You don't care about your own cousin's situation at all, do you?

How did our Qin Family end up with such a dead simp like you.

The Dragon King Emissary's expression remained unchanged as he listened to everyone's words, as if he didn't care about them at all!

He said casually:

"Whether there's a marriage engagement or whatever other reason, the Marriage Proposal Letters have been delivered. Anyone who doesn't accept them is opposing Lord Dragon King! Bear the consequences yourselves!"

Wasn't this threatening the families and trying to forcefully marry their daughters!

As his voice fell, everyone went silent!

While the Liu Family was hesitating, Old Master Liu sighed and stepped forward to accept the Marriage Contract!

The Li Family followed suit. The Wang Family, Zhu Family, Zhao Family, and Yang Family wavered, but in their hesitation, they still accepted, thinking to take it for now. Since the Dragon King hadn't returned yet, maybe there would be a turn of events later!

Finally, only the Qin Family and Zhou Family were left!

Old Master Qin looked at Zhou Cheng beside him.

"Zhou Cheng, how about accepting it first? Lord Dragon King hasn't returned yet; maybe he won't return at all. Even if he does, the timing is uncertain. There might still be a turn of events!"

Old Master Qin's thoughts were similar to those of the Zhu and Wang families.

But Zhou Cheng knew that these Marriage Proposal Letters must not be accepted. If he didn't accept, he would be in the right, since he hadn't agreed and there was no Marriage Contract!

But if he accepted, it meant he had agreed. When the Dragon King came, how would he handle it then?

Breaking the contract and canceling the engagement? Wouldn't that be slapping the Dragon King's Face? He would take it as an insult and then directly wipe out your Family!

So either don't accept it at all, or if you do, you must fulfill the contract!

Zhou Cheng wanted to speak his thoughts, but at that moment, everyone's gaze turned toward the Zhou Family!

Zhou Cheng simply didn't bother to speak or explain!

Now, only the Qin Family and Zhou Family remained!

The Dragon King Emissary's group also looked toward the Zhou Family. The Black Robed Envoy holding the Marriage Proposal Letter for the Zhou Family's Zhou Wanyu was still holding it out.

Now that the Zhou Family was delaying in accepting the letter, did they want to resist the Dragon King Emissary? Directly disobey the Dragon King's order?!

The Old Patriarch of the Liu Family looked at Zhou Cheng with a deep frown; he really was a newborn calf who didn't fear the tiger!

"Dragon King Emissary, is it? Although your act of delivering Marriage Proposal Letters is very cool, as a police officer, I must still provide you with some basic legal knowledge!"

"According to Article 1043 of our Xia Country's 'Civil Code,' it clearly stipulates the implementation of a monogamous marriage system. Your act of publicly delivering proposals and wanting to marry eight wives for the Dragon King is completely illegal, do you understand?"

Zhou Cheng looked at the Dragon King Emissary and spoke word by word.

The importance of popularizing the law!
