"The Bride Snatching Game looks interesting. I might as well postpone it for a day. Staying here for a day or two is too rushed!" Ye Lang made a decision in his heart. He decided to participate in this event and extend his time here.

Based on the schedule, I should have more than ten days of free time. Taking a few days off shouldn't be a problem. Even if I can't make it to the big birthday celebration, I can still go and see them.

Ye Lang didn't care about the Empress Dowager's birthday celebration. He felt that his grandmother wouldn't be so stingy. Anyway, his parents were still alive, so it wouldn't matter if he was missing.

Ye Lang now needs to solve two things: first, the problem of food, and second, the problem of accommodation.

"I made some money performing today, so I can be a little more generous and splurge. I'm going to stay at a hotel, I want... a regular room..."

"What extravagance and generosity do you have? You've always stayed in the best and biggest rooms before," Ye Lang thought to himself, feeling a little contempt for himself. However, he only felt contempt for himself and did not change his original intention.

Although Ye Lang may seem a bit confused and indifferent, he always does what he says, no matter how difficult it may be.

Next, Ye Lang went for a stroll in the streets and then found an ordinary inn to stay in. He rented a regular room, and the cost for two days was only one Silver Coins, which Ye Lang could afford.

The food at this inn is also very cheap, no wonder it was recommended by the mercenaries, the prices here are very reasonable!

Ye Lang was unaware that he had been seen by several people while he was shopping, and those people seemed to have some influence over Ye Lang; they were several noblemen of different genders.

"I think I saw that person!" a noblewoman said with some doubt. She seemed unsure whether she had seen Ye Lang, because Ye Lang had just turned the corner at that moment.

"Who is it?" another male nobleman asked.

"It's that person who caused us to be driven out of the Holy City and made us a laughingstock!" the noblewoman said.

"You mean... that person? How is that possible? How could he be here? He has no connection with this place. Is he here for tourism?"

"No! I received information that that person will be in the Vermilion Bird Empire for some time, not here, so you must be mistaken!!"

"Could I really be mistaken? Hmph, if he really is here, then he's dead meat. This is my territory, and I'll make him pay for humiliating me!" the noblewoman said bitterly.

For the next two days, Ye Lang did not encounter these people or Debbie and the others. He was simply a tourist, traveling around.

Sometimes, on a whim, I'll busk on the street, playing the erhu or doing a few sword dance moves...

It was Ye Lang's whim that added a legendary street performer to the conversations of Aila City. Everyone wanted to hear his music or see his sword dance.

On this morning, everyone in the Aila City was looking forward to one thing: the Bride Snatching Game that was to be held today. However, many people were not concerned about who would win or lose; what they were concerned about was who the hundred brides would be.

This is also one of the biggest selling points of the Bride Snatching Game. These 100 brides are all beauties carefully selected from across the country, and all of them are virgins who have never been married.

Therefore, these brides usually become famous after this event, attracting more suitors and elevating their reputation to new heights.

Incidentally, this also allows these brides to enter an upper-class circle and gain access to power!

Regardless of whether these brides are there for fame, fortune, or power, their collective appearance is itself an attraction and a grand event.

On this day, most of the people of Aila City will come to watch or participate as spectators. Except for some essential service industries, the whole city is on holiday.

Among the hundred brides, there was one unexpected person this year. If it were Xi Er, everyone would think it would be normal, after all, Xi Er has participated many times. Known as Four Great Beauties of the empire, she was invited to participate every time, just like the other three.

It would have been strange if they weren't there, but this time they didn't seem strange at all, appearing once again among the brides.

The Four Great Beauties are now gathered together, forming a beautiful scene that attracts a lot of attention. It is because of this that people discover the unexpected person, because this person is right next to them.

This person is Debbie. Debbie is a celebrity. Everyone knows that she has an impulsive personality, sometimes like a man. At the same time, because of this personality, she has done many earth-shattering things, making her famous.

That's why no one believes Debbie will be the bride. Is there some mistake here?

However, why do people immediately think of Debbie as one of the brides, rather than as someone accompanying Xi Er? Everyone knows that she and Xi Er are almost inseparable.

Actually, everyone is sure that Debbie is one of the brides this time, and the reason is very simple: the dress Debbie is wearing now is a white wedding dress.

Although it's just an event, brides still need to wear wedding dresses. However, there are no restrictions on the style of the wedding dress, so even though everyone wears the same wedding dress, each bride's dress still has its own unique charm.

Debbie was wearing a wedding dress, and a very demure one at that, which was a bit different from her personality, but it did show a different side of her.

Many people felt a sense of awe, and at that moment, they even felt that Debbie's brilliance surpassed that of the Four Great Beauties. Many people thought this was an illusion.

Actually, it's just a matter of novelty. Even the most beautiful things will become tiresome after a while. The Four Great Beauties appear every year and look the same. Although they are still incredibly charming, they naturally pale in comparison to Debbie, a fresh and beautiful bride.

This Debbie, I never would have guessed she had such a beautiful side. Perhaps this refers to her static beauty, since she was always in motion before.

This time, Debbie not only surprised those who didn't know her, but also shocked those who did. The more familiar they were with her, the more they understood her, and the more surprised they became.
