The dark night passed and it was another sunny day.
Yue Wen gang all survived as expected.
Those who will be eliminated by Nightmare Object on the first day are basically Third Realm players, and those with the Gang Realm and above are basically retained. This year is a rare genius year for Jiang City, and the number of the Gang Realm players is far more than in previous years.
Today, almost all the players who are still in Nightmare Town will attend the marriage ceremony of the mayor's daughter.
Let's celebrate together!
The three of them came outside a flower shop in the town. The owner of the flower shop was a beautiful sister wearing a blue sweater and a white cotton skirt. She had long, slightly curly hair, fair skin, and a pair of big, gentle eyes.
"You were the ones who helped my dad beat a Blackflame Bear yesterday, right?" the flower shop owner greeted, "He sent me some bear meat early in the morning, and also asked me to help you prepare some flowers that Miss Zhao, the mayor's family, likes."
She asked the clerk to hand over a bouquet of blooming purple flowers, "Ms. Zhao likes purple fairy roses the most. I have prepared a bouquet for you. Giving it to her will definitely make her very happy."
"Thank you sister." Xing'er took it with a smile, "If there is a pervert harassing you these days, you must come to our office and I will help you teach him a lesson!" "Okay." The flower shop owner also smiled sweetly, "I also wish you a smooth marriage today. The mayor's daughter is a very good... Well, everyone likes her very much."
Xing'er turned around and looked at Yue Wen and Qi Dian, "I think our team should send one person to compete to avoid internal friction. Who do you think is more likely to win in the marriage proposal?"
Qi Dian looked at Yue Wen, then looked at himself, frowned and said, "It's hard to comment. In terms of charm, Brother Yue and I... can be said to have our own strengths and weaknesses. It's hard to tell the difference."
"Indeed." Xing'er thought deeply, "If you put aside your appearance, put aside your intelligence, put aside your personality, put aside your talent, put aside your emotional intelligence, put aside your taste, put aside your name... you two really have a fighting chance."
Qi Dian:..."
After a few seconds of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you even going to throw away your name?"
"Yue Wen sounds grand, like a boss, and Qi Dian sounds like an employee." Xing'er analyzed clearly.
"Ha, don't play inside jokes at this time." Yue Wen said with a smile, "I think it's better to let Brother Qi go get married, and I will try my best to help him. Because my cultivation level is higher, I can persist for a few more days even without Sunfire Seed."
"That is indeed the case, then we will fully support Qi Dian." Xing'er nodded.
Then she frowned and said, "Why does the mayor have a daughter but no son? This is really unfair."
Yue Wen smiled and said, "Maybe she likes girls. We can't assume her preferred gender for the time being."
The three of them chatted and laughed all the way until they arrived at the small square at the entrance of the town.
At this time, strands of colorful ribbons had been hung around the square, and a small curtain was set up on the wooden stage in front, which seemed to be where the mayor's daughter would appear later.
An area below the stage closest to the stage is marked with a white line. No one is allowed to get close to it for the time being. It should be prepared for people participating in the ceremony. As expected, almost all the contestants who are still alive are here.
Yue Wen saw the three brothers Thunder Martial Arts Hall at a glance, because Du Shuai's size was so outstanding that he stood out among the crowd. Later Yue Wen also inquired about it, and found out that one of his two brothers was named Wei Si and the other was named Deng Ran.
The round-headed Wei Si saw Yue Wen and the others from a distance, and gave them an unkind look.
Xing'er was almost about to reply Heaven-Pointing Halberd Finger Art, but Yue Wen and Qi Dian quickly stopped her, "Xing'er, it's not time to use this magical power yet." If a fight breaks out here and disrupts the ceremony, let alone a marriage proposal, both parties may be arrested and imprisoned.
Most of the people arrested yesterday were only sentenced to one day in prison, but no one was released from prison today. Apparently, they were all eliminated in the first wave of Nightmare Object last night.
I don't know what the "most terrifying Nightmare Object" in Nightmare Prison is, but no one can come out alive.
This makes people outside even more fearful.
The small groups of Dong Mengyao and Xiao family brothers also came over, and not far away there was the team of Xuanfeng Temple, and then there was the team of the Hu Family. Seeing Hu Yunting taking the lead, people nearby retreated.
Su Renxue came over by herself, Hidden Dragon Pool Several disciples came in together, but now she was the only one left. The little girl inquired, "Have you seen my idiot junior brother?"
"Ji Yang?" Xing'er looked around, "I haven't seen it before."
"Brother Ji is pretty good. Nightmare Object won't eliminate him in the first wave." Yue Wen replied, "Is it possible that he was caught and sent to Dream Demon Prison?" "Maybe." Su Renxue covered his forehead and sighed silently.
At this time Dong Mengyao also came over and said to them, "Have you heard? Yesterday someone caught a Diamond Dragonfish in the Dream River and sold eighty Sunfire Seed in the small town fish market!"
Yue Wen thought to himself that Sister Yao was a source of information wherever he went. He immediately shook his head and asked, "Is the profit from fishing so high?"
Yesterday, he saw in the newspaper that Dream River was in a good fishing season. He had thought about it, but his luck in the past two days was relatively average, so he did not waste time on fishing.
Since practicing Dragon Pool Carp Pinching Art, Yue Wen has found that most of the time his luck is average, and only a few times it is on the high or low side. As for the rare situations of extremely high or low, he has rarely encountered it.
Relying on the accumulation of many days, there is now a lot of faint golden koi aura surrounding him. According to Big Dragon, if he encounters a karma disaster in the future, these luck beasts will take the initiative to help him ward off the disaster.
So when he sees more and more gold energy in his body, he feels a sense of security in his heart.
"Everyone has a chance." Dong Mengyao added, "I heard that Hu Yunting joined the security team. Although there is no formal establishment, he has law enforcement powers. Now everyone will shy away from him when they see him."
Yue Wen looked at Xing'er and said with a smile, "People are really different. People can think of joining the security team, why can we only think of breaking the law and committing crimes?"
Xing'er lowered his head and muttered, "There is no distinction between high and low in profession."
Xiao Chubai lamented. "Since Brother Yue you are here, we will definitely not have a chance to propose marriage this time."
"Hoho." Yue Wen said with a smile, "I won't participate in the competition, you just go and grab it."
"Really?" Xiao family brothers was immediately happy.
It seems that as long as Yue Wen does not participate, the talented people from the Immortal Gate family around them will be like chickens and dogs, and will never be their opponents. Especially Xiao Chubai, whose limp and droopy hair just stood up.
After everyone said a few words, a middle-aged man wearing a navy blue Chinese tunic suit, a hat of the same color, and a mustache walked onto the stage. As soon as he appeared, the residents of the town below cheered enthusiastically. It seemed that he was very popular.
"Hello everyone!" The middle-aged man waved his hand and said with the microphone, "Friends from outside may not know me. I am Zhao Dabao, the mayor of Nightmare Town. The matter of your coming to Nightmare Town for the trial this time was jointly discussed with the leader of the Supervision Bureau. Today, I also want to choose a suitable husband for my daughter from among the young talents from outside."
"Okay!"
Some male players were already excited, pumping their fists and cheering, eager to do so.
Zhao Dabao smiled and waved his hands, and then said, "Everyone is so enthusiastic, my little girl must be very flattered. Then, let me invite my precious daughter Xiao Li to make an appearance first!"
Amid the applause of the crowd, the curtains on the stage were opened, and a girl with a light and slender figure wearing a lace white dress walked out shyly. She glanced at the people below, seeming a little surprised, and nodded in thanks.
The applause stopped abruptly.
Because everyone was surprised to find that this "Zhao Xiaoli" actually had a lizard head covered with tiny silver scales on the body of a human girl!
Although it is a very delicate-looking lizard head.
But she is still a lizard.
All of you here are righteous practitioners. If you saw this monster in another scene, I don't know how many people would draw their swords and call out "Bold Monster". "Don't be nervous, everyone, our Xiao Li is not a monster." Zhao Dabao saw that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, and quickly explained.
"It's just that her mother is a great demon in disguise. Xiao Li has undergone a slight mutation since she was born... She is definitely of the bloodline of Human Race, but there are some negligible demon characteristics remaining on her skin. You don't need to panic, it will not affect your life at all."
So her mother is a lizard demon?
The surprised eyes of those present looked at Xiao Li, and when they turned to the mayor, they turned into exclamations.
Zhao Dabao, you are a ruthless person!!
"Thank you all for coming to my marriage proposal ceremony." Xiao Li's big round vertical pupils swept across the audience, and he suddenly shouted in surprise, "Ah, it's the Purple Fairy Rose!"
She pointed to Qi Dian nearby, "You even specifically asked me what flowers I like? You're so thoughtful!"
"Ah?" Qi Dian, who was a little stunned at first, was suddenly startled and said quickly, "I picked these flowers on the roadside."
As he spoke, he threw the bouquet aside.
But a slender red tongue suddenly popped out of Xiao Li's mouth, and with a slurp, he wrapped the bouquet and took it back to his hand.
She smiled sweetly, revealing a mouth of sharp and dense teeth, "Although I like this bouquet of flowers very much, the marriage ceremony must be fair. I can't favor you."
Qi Dian showed a moving smile, "Thank you for being fair."
Zhao Dabao took out a round ball covered with flower clusters. There were small wings on each side of the ball. It looked very exquisitely made. "My daughter will throw this hydrangea over her back later. Whoever the hydrangea ball hits will be engaged to my daughter! If you have this intention, you should actively fight for it." He handed the hydrangea to Xiao Li with a smile.
Zhao Xiaoli carried it on his back and counted softly. "Three... one!"
Whoosh.
Xiao Li was quite strong and threw the hydrangea at once, very fast, and went straight towards the crowd.
Then...
The crowd that came to attend the marriage proposal ceremony exploded!
But no one was fighting for the hydrangea. Instead, they were running away from the hydrangea.
Just kidding, everyone is mentally prepared to participate in this ceremony. If you are older, uglier, fatter... it doesn't matter. After all, it is just an engagement, and it is just a part of the ranking battle, so it cannot be done seriously.
But you get a lizard head.
This is really worrying. Even if there is a one-ten-thousandth chance that the fake act will be real, people cannot bear the risk! This Nightmare Town is too weird.
But the hydrangea comes very quickly, and the crowd disperses very slowly, and it will eventually fall on people.
The closest one was Deng Ran from the Thunder Martial Arts Hall. He simply shouted, "Brother, didn't you ask us to help you propose? You also said that after the engagement, you will take care of us and catch us!"
After that, he made an upside-down golden hook and kicked the hydrangea hard towards Du Shuai! Bang!
"Stop it!" Du Shuai said sternly, "I have changed my mind, let's leave it to someone who is destined to do it!"
He also hit a powerful volley, and a world wave shot the ball directly towards the fleeing crowd in the distance, bang!
"This black guy is so despicable!" Xiao Chubai, who was almost hit, shouted, then the dragon swung its tail in the air and kicked the hydrangea back to this side! "Don't get involved!"
Bang!
"Whoever loves wants it!"
Bang!
For a moment, the scene was like a football match. Everyone was scrambling to kick the embroidered ball with their feet. No one dared to catch it with their hands. They were indeed actively competing, but they were all scrambling to hit others!
The speed of the ball was so fast that it almost left an afterimage in the air. Everyone was extremely focused, fearing that they would be hit accidentally.
Bang bang bang
Finally, when the hydrangea flew towards Yue Wen, he made a rescue with his big kick, kicked the hydrangea high into the sky, and shouted at the same time, "I'll come to the rescue, everyone, leave quickly!"
"Justice!" Everyone echoed and ran away as far as they could.
The hydrangea flew up into the sky, turned into a point of light, then reached the highest point and then fell in an arc...
