83: Section 83

Who else could it be but his big brother Xiao Bai? Even if he lost his underwear, he had to support his big brother.

The referee shouted, "Is contestant Bai Xiao ready?"

Xiao Bai transformed into a Heaven-Swallowing Giant Python and descended from the sky, his head diving straight into the arena floor, kicking up a massive cloud of white smoke.

A man in white appeared before the audience, and led by Mo Peng, the crowd erupted into loud cheers.

Nearly seventy percent had placed their bets on Xiao Bai. Although the surface data seemed to show a large disparity, they trusted Mo Peng's silver tongue.

Xiao Bai was certain that the person before him was a female fox demon. As for why the voice was male, for a member of the Yao Race with such Cultivation, it shouldn't be difficult to achieve; it only required a small prop.

Suddenly, Xiao Bai became gentlemanly, regarding Tian Kui from the bottom of his heart as a top-tier female fox demon.

"You are truly impressive. To have defeated the once-in-a-ten-thousand-year Genius of the Ghost Race so quickly, I am filled with admiration."

Tian Kui said indifferently, "The demon emperor fragment belongs to me, and the Royal Consort position belongs to you."

"Huh?"

Xiao Bai was stunned. He must have misheard. Who sets conditions before the fight has even started?

"The demon emperor fragment belongs to me, and the Royal Consort position belongs to you."

Tian Kui repeated herself, and only then did Xiao Bai snap back to reality.

"The Third Princess is a beauty of unparalleled elegance. Why don't you take the Royal Consort position? The fragment is useless anyway; I'll reluctantly accept it."

Tian Kui glared at Xiao Bai with sharp eyes. "I do not want to repeat myself a third time."

At this moment, her sharp longsword began to emit a cold glint, intending to make Xiao Bai retreat in the Face of difficulty.

Xiao Bai was very clear about his own strength; he feared that the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Techniques would not have much effect on Tian Kui.

Among all the contestants, Tian Kui had the strongest mental fortitude. Even Guizuka's bizarre and unpredictable movement techniques could not disturb her.

Xiao Bai considered it difficult to defeat Guizuka, let alone the even more powerful Tian Kui.

"Fine, since you like it so much, you can have that scrap of paper."

"But you have to concede first so that I can become the Royal Consort. Once I get the fragment from the Yu Emperor, I will naturally hand it over to you."

Tian Kui nodded slightly, agreeing to Xiao Bai's suggestion.

Seeing that they were slow to start, the audience below the stage became impatient. Xiao Bai's odds were several times higher, and judging by the situation, it seemed they didn't want to fight and intended to surrender.

This made the gamblers who had bet on Xiao Bai restless and unable to bear it, and they kept jeering below the stage to express their protest.

They felt like lush leeks being ruthlessly harvested by a sickle, their roots about to be cut off.

"Match-fixing!"

"Match-fixing! Refund the money! Refund the money!"

The sound of protest and noise at the scene was deafening; even Mo Peng could not persuade the rampaging gamblers.

Suddenly, Tian Kui picked up the white flag by the side of the arena and waved it, causing all the Demons and Monsters present to be shocked.

The Yu Emperor stood frozen in place. "Why is it like this? With her strength, she could easily take the championship; why would she voluntarily surrender and concede?"

"They were whispering to each other just now; what were they saying?"

The three referees were stunned simultaneously. The championship was within reach, yet it was the first time they had seen it handed over on a silver platter. They truly couldn't understand this bizarre maneuver.

Mo Peng shouted loudly, leading the fanatical gamblers to toss Xiao Bai into the air.

"Big brother is mighty! Big brother is invincible!"

"You referees, hurry up and announce the results! Tian Kui has surrendered, so the championship naturally belongs to Bai Xiao. He is the rightful Royal Consort of the Third Princess."

Celebration fireworks were ignited, and by the time Xiao Bai reacted, Tian Kui had already left silently.

The Yu Emperor walked up with his personal guards and personally shook hands with Xiao Bai. He could feel the demon emperor fragment in his mouth trembling.

From this, he could confirm that Xiao Bai was the holder of the demon emperor fragment. The Yu Emperor rolled his cunning eyes, quickly planning his next move in his mind.

He then revealed a calculating, fake smile. "Congratulations, warrior Bai Xiao, on becoming my worthy son-in-law. Tonight, I will preside over the wedding for the Third Princess and the Royal Consort."

Many citizens of the Yu race were watching, and there were also Demons and Monsters from other realms present. The Yu Emperor did not want to make a move against Xiao Bai in public.

Moreover, he had to fulfill his promise; otherwise, the Yu Emperor's prestige would be challenged. He urgently needed to preside over the wedding for Xiao Bai, and it had to be done tonight to avoid complications.

"Mo Ze, go and invite the Third Princess over, and tell her to prepare for the wedding tonight."

"Yes..."

A trace of viciousness appeared in Mo Ze's eyes. He headed straight to the West Palace and specifically instructed his trusted aides on some matters, telling them to carry them out immediately.

Yu Wei excitedly held Yu Yan's hand. "Congratulations, Third Sister, on getting your wish. Bai Xiao won the championship and successfully became the Royal Consort."

Yu Yan didn't seem that happy and was even a bit sad. "Sigh, I'm miserable now. I'll be played to death by him."

"I actually hoped the Royal Consort would be Tian Kui, so I could have an affair with Bai Xiao in private. That would be exciting."

Black lines immediately appeared on Yu Wei's Face. "Third Sister, you are a princess. Don't speak so frivolously; it will invite criticism."

"Don't panic, I won't go around talking nonsense. We two sisters have played with him together. With Bai Xiao becoming my Royal Consort, Big Sister should be the happiest, right?"

"Rest assured, I won't care how you two mess around in the future, as long as you don't dirty my bed."

Just as the two sisters were chatting enthusiastically, Mo Ze had already arrived at the door.

He bowed with cupped hands. "Greetings, First Princess. Greetings, Third Princess."

"The Yu Emperor has personally issued an order for the Third Princess to prepare for the wedding to be held in the main hall tonight."

Yu Yan scratched her scalp in confusion. "Is it that abrupt? Do we not need to choose an auspicious day? They are holding my wedding so hastily."

Mo Ze looked serious. "This is the order of Your Majesty the Yu Emperor. Your humble servant has no authority to interfere. I hope Your Highness the Third Princess will prepare in advance."

At this moment, eight maids carrying various dowries were already waiting outside the door.

"All of you, go in and attend to the Third Princess's grooming and dressing."

The First Princess glanced at Mo Ze, her eyes dodging and not daring to Face him, feeling a bit guilty in her heart.

"Your humble servant respectfully requests the First Princess to return to the North Palace."

Yu Wei looked indifferent. "The Third Sister is getting married. Do you think it is appropriate for me to return now?"

"Mo Ze, from now on, we will not interfere with each other. You can go out and mess around however you like."

Mo Ze hurriedly explained, "First Princess, you have misunderstood. Your humble servant has absolutely not done anything to wrong you."

"Whether you did or not, you know better than anyone. Hurry up and leave; you are not needed here."

"Yes... Your humble servant takes his leave."

Turning his head, Mo Ze immediately revealed an extremely vicious expression, wishing he could devour Yu Wei directly, seeing her treat him so coldly.

It was basically certain that he had been cuckolded; the First Princess must have a lover outside.

At the Yu Emperor's command, the main hall had been decorated very festively; it was quite efficient.

The dignitaries of Misty Cloud City were all present, and the main hall was very lively. Those who should have come had come, and those who shouldn't have come had also come.

A senior elder of the Yu race presided over this wedding. Inside, many Demons and Monsters had gathered, all of them coming for the demon emperor fragment from the Demon Emperors Tomb.

"Presenting the groom, Bai Xiao."

Xiao Bai arrived wearing a groom's outfit. Originally, he only wanted to get the demon emperor fragment; becoming the Royal Consort was secondary.

He didn't expect it to be so grand. This was inseparable from the Yu Emperor's vigorous promotion of this recruitment tournament; if it weren't grand, he would lose Face.

Subsequently, Yu Yan, dressed in luxurious red, was supported by the First Princess and walked slowly into public view.

"Damn, it's actually turned from a fake act into reality. I originally only treated her as a hookup; I never thought there would be such a grand wedding."

Previously, the most perfect bride in Xiao Bai's heart was Bai Su; both her temperament and figure were the best among all these wives.

The luxurious wedding he had once fantasized about had actually come true with a hookup he didn't pay much attention to. There was basically no affection, just a purely physical relationship.

Yu Yan also displayed a rare docility and did not make a scene to resist the wedding, which surprised the Yu Emperor.

Following the Yu Emperor's instructions, the wedding process was simplified, and it was soon announced that the ceremony was complete and they were sent to the bridal chamber.

As for the matter of the demon emperor fragment being the dowry, the Yu Emperor didn't mention it at all. Xiao Bai definitely had to ask clearly, otherwise, he would end up being a major sucker.

The guests attending the wedding were reluctant to leave. There was no banquet prepared for everyone in the evening; they were just there to bear witness.

"Your Majesty the Yu Emperor, it seems you have forgotten something."

The Yu Emperor pretended to be stupid and forced a smile. "Worthy son-in-law, why do you say that? I have betrothed my most beloved Third Princess to you; what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Xiao Bai extended his right hand. "It was previously agreed that the demon emperor fragment from the Demon Emperors Tomb would be the betrothal gift. Why is it still not seen, and why has Your Majesty the Yu Emperor not mentioned it?"

Mo Peng joined in the jeering and shouted, "Yeah, where is the demon emperor fragment? As the ruler of the Yu Country, the Yu Emperor wouldn't break his word, would he?"

Subsequently, the other Demons and Monsters present joined in the jeering, questioning the Yu Emperor one after another.

The Yu Emperor smiled indifferently. "Sigh, look at my memory. I was really too busy today and almost forgot."

"I intended to wait until after the Royal Consort and the Third Princess's wedding night to present the fragment. Since the Royal Consort is so anxious, I will hand it to the Royal Consort in front of all the guests in advance."

The Yu Emperor took out the demon emperor fragment from the inner pocket of his clothes, and his personal guards brought over an exquisite gift box.

Whoosh!

A beam of white light shot over, knocking the demon emperor fragment to the ground, where it burned into black ash.

A figure in black stood on the rafters and mocked, "As the noble Yu Emperor, you actually used a fake demon emperor fragment to fool everyone. How is this any different from the petty thieves of the marketplace?"

"Bastard! How could I do such a thing?"

"Tian Kui, what is your intention? You were the one who voluntarily conceded and handed the Royal Consort position to Bai Xiao. Do you regret it now?"

"I had long expected that the Yu Emperor would use this trick. The fragment was crafted by the Blood Moon Demon Emperor himself. There is no flame in the world that can destroy it; even after passing through tens of thousands of years, it remains unscathed."

The Yu Emperor couldn't find a better excuse for a moment and could only resort to killing, ordering his personal guards to surround the entire main hall.

"If you want to cause trouble in the Yu Country, let's see if you have the ability. Capture Tian Kui and Bai Xiao!"

"All others who are unrelated, leave immediately! Swords have no eyes; don't get hurt and become innocent victims later."

Seeing that the Yu Emperor was about to resort to killing, the Demons and Monsters ran outside the main hall. They were only there to watch the show and fish in troubled waters to gain some benefits.
