Inside Liu Mansion's main hall, the atmosphere turned somewhat delicate.
Shi Haotian maintained his cupped-fist salute, his eyes filled with anticipation and a trace of barely perceptible nervousness.
Beside him, Zi Yue lowered her head deeply, her slender fair neck flushed crimson. Her hands twisted the corner of her clothes, so nervous that she seemed to have stopped breathing.
Liu Yuan sat upright in the seat of honor, his gaze sweeping over Zi Yue's graceful figure as the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
Although he had not met Zi Yue many times since transmigrating, as someone well versed in the original work, he was naturally familiar with her character.
Though this City Lord's daughter was somewhat spoiled and arrogant, that was because she possessed exceptional talent and an eminent family background. Ordinary women naturally could not catch her eye.
But once she truly fell for someone, this girl was exceptionally devoted.
Moreover, Zi Yue's looks and figure ranked among the finest in all of Flame City, even the Great Yan Dynasty. She truly deserved to be called a refined and beautiful lady.
Liu Yuan was not some hypocritical gentleman. Since such a delicacy had delivered itself to his door, why should he refuse?
With that thought, Liu Yuan set down his teacup with a crisp sound.
"City Lord Shi, you flatter me."
Liu Yuan looked at Shi Haotian, then let his gaze settle gently upon Zi Yue as he smiled.
"Miss Zi Yue is naturally beautiful and extraordinarily gifted, a rare beauty in Flame City. It is also Liu's honor to receive Miss Zi Yue's favor."
"I accept this marriage."
Phew—
Upon hearing those words, Shi Haotian let out a long breath, and an ecstatic smile instantly bloomed across his face.
"Good! Good! Good!"
He said "good" three times
