After hearing Benimaru's decision, everyone present erupted into thunderous cheers.
Old Man White and Shuna, the two family members, were especially moved to the point of tears.
"Fine. But earning my blessing for this marriage won't be so easy. Are you ready to accept the test?"
The corners of Mo Li's lips lifted slightly, revealing a breathtaking smile as he spoke in a tone that seemed half-teasing, half-testing.
"...A-a test!?"
Benimaru and the others froze when they heard Mo Li's words. Going by how things were supposed to develop, shouldn't Lord Emperor have simply blessed the marriage directly?!
Why was there a test too!?
"A-Ari, what are you trying to do!? You can't go breaking up lovers!"
After hearing Mo Li's words, Rimuru tugged awkwardly at Mo Li's sleeve and spoke in a low voice.
After all, the two girls had gone through so much hardship just to earn the right to become Benimaru's wives, and Benimaru had made up his mind as well.
This could be called a love where both sides were running toward each other. Breaking up lovers really wasn't acceptable!
But Mo Li ignored Rimuru's words. Instead, he stared fixedly at Benimaru, who was kneeling on the ground, and spoke indifferently.
"Benimaru, you may refuse the test I have set. If you lack the courage and resolve for it."
Mo Li truly had no intention of breaking up lovers, but he would not allow Benimaru to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives without doing anything.
In this relationship, Kouyou and Alvis had always been the ones giving, while Benimaru had been the one receiving.
Although Mo Li knew Benimaru had already made up his mind, a test was still necessary.
"Lord Emperor, I am willing to accept your test!"
Benimaru was stunned for a moment
