It can be said that if this woman were not the great-granddaughter of the Great Villain Emperor, throwing an embroidered ball to select a husband on the street would probably scare n away in terror. However, since the ceremony is held in this hall, these Lords of Many Counties are indeed fearful, yet they cannot flee, and can only grit their teeth and sit there, secretly praying that this incredibly ugly woman does not choose them...
Amid the anxiety and panic of the Lords, the ugly woman, accompanied by two female servants, moved forward with lotus steps. Her gaze continuously scanned the Lords behind the tables on both sides, occasionally pausing her steps and showing signs of consideration and deliberation. From her expression, there were no flaws, but considering the actual situation, in this Ancient Immortal Realm where beauty is at the top, such an ugly woman would remain a spinster all her life if she weren't the great-granddaughter of the Great Villain Emperor.
Even in a brothel, she might not attract custors, let alone find a husband, not even one who cleans sewers, as people wouldn't want her.
This is why she relies on the prestige of the ancestor to throw an embroidered ball here to select a husband for herself. Whether judged by appearance or the nature of this event, it is logical and reasonable, without any trace of anomaly.
So even started to suspect that the Great Villain Emperor's sudden centennial birthday celebration without any particular reason was just a ruse to marry off his ugly great-granddaughter.
Though the ugly woman is disadvantaged in terms of appearance, she seems to be a proud and lofty person. From the entrance of the Jade Banquet Hall, she walked all the way to the table of the Great Villain Emperor, but did not throw the red embroidered ball, as if none of the Lords of Many Counties in the hall caught her eye, none of them matched her standards,
which, although secretly relieved the Lords, also made them extrely indignant, thinking that with her appearance, she dared to be so picky. Everyone here is outstanding, each a dragon among n, yet none of them is good enough for her.
While all faces showed strange expressions, the ugly woman's gaze fixed on the civil official opposite Wang Xiaoqiang. The civil official trembled all over when Mo Qingge stared at him, hurriedly lowered his head, and dared not et her gaze, fearing that the ugly woman might choose him.
Ultimately, there was no danger, and the ugly woman shook her head slightly, turned her body, and set her gaze on Wang Xiaoqiang.
Amongst the guests in the hall, only Wang Xiaoqiang possessed the Heavenly Eye, so from the mont the ugly woman entered the Jade Banquet Hall, he knew that either the husband selection was a joke, or there was sothing sinister within.
A stunning beauty, even more beautiful and noble than the leading dancer a mont ago, used bizarre spell techniques to hide her true appearance, disguising herself as extrely ugly to fool everyone. If this isn't a prank, what is it?
At that mont when Mo Qingge's gaze fixed on him, Wang Xiaoqiang suddenly realized, this is definitely not a prank, it's directed at him.
This is most likely a test,
He thought to himself, the Great Villain Emperor is probably testing my character to examine my personal cultivation base. Is he implenting a peace-through-marriage policy to offer this great-granddaughter to ?
The peace-through-marriage policy has always been a political asure, with nurous examples on Earth, like Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo, which later beca a celebrated story. Wang Xiaoqiang knew this, and the Great Villain Emperor's move to consolidate his regi through marriage was understandable, after all, Wang Xiaoqiang posed a threat to the Emperor's throne.
The reason for not openly marrying her off could be to test his nature, to see if he prefers beauty over ugliness.
Wang Xiaoqiang thought this way, so when Mo Qingge's gaze fixed on him, he did not dodge like those Lords, nor did he show any disgust; instead, he raised his head and t Mo Qingge's gaze with an expression of friendliness and admiration.
Mo Qingge's appearance post Face Changing, counted as ugly in the Ancient Immortal Realm and only diocre on Earth, was not to Wang Xiaoqiang's liking, but neither did he find it loathso. Therefore, although his attitude was not entirely sincere, it appeared quite genuine. Moreover, under his Heavenly Eye, Mo Qingge's peerless beauty caused him a dizzying sensation, yet he couldn't show it.
At this mont, everyone's eyes were fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang, and the Lords were secretly breaking into cold sweat for him. So even hoped inwardly, "Pick him, pick him, let this guy be in the spotlight, let him marry an ugly woman..."
When they saw Wang Xiaoqiang actually raise his head to look at the ugly woman with friendliness and admiration, all the Lords got goosebumps, feeling Wang Xiaoqiang had an unusually heavy taste.
Mo Qingge and Wang Xiaoqiang locked eyes, showing satisfaction, appreciation, and subtle shyness. She covered her mouth with her sleeve, then turned to take the embroidered ball from the servant and tossed it toward Wang Xiaoqiang.
At this mont, everyone held their breath, the scene was silent enough to hear a pin drop.
Wang Xiaoqiang, indeed, was hit.
Wang Xiaoqiang reached out to catch it, his face showing a joyful smile, saying "Thank you for your favor, Miss. Little Qiang will definitely cherish this sentint and ceremoniously wed Miss on a chosen day..."
Mo Qingge nodded, smiled, overflowing with shyness. To the Lords, this smile was extrely horrific, making them feel nauseous, with the wine and dishes they had just eaten rushing back up. Each used their cultivation base to suppress it forcibly.
Only Wang Xiaoqiang savored it sweetly, because under his Heavenly Eye, Mo Qingge's smile was captivatingly beautiful, overturning worlds.
Looking at that smile, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a thrill through his whole body, nearly unable to escape its allure, secretly noting how such a beautiful smile could exist in the world.
Just then, the Great Villain Emperor stood up from behind the table, heavily smacked the table with his right hand, giving a sense of finality, and laughed heartily, "Haha, my great-granddaughter Mo Qingwu has successfully selected a husband today, and is perfectly matched with her lover Wang Xiaoqiang, how joyful and worthy of celebration. Since so, why not consecrate their union now, Wang Xiaoqiang suggested choosing a day to marry Qingwu, yet I believe, strike while the iron is hot, take advantage of tonight's festivity, borrow everyone's presence here, and conduct the wedding now, haha... Co on..."
With the Great Villain Emperor's words, a person led two n and two won into the hall, he was the one in charge of organizing the wedding. Under his command, the two n walked in front of Wang Xiaoqiang and knelt, "We respectfully invite the Lord Imperial Son-in-Law to the rear hall to change into wedding attire..."
The two won approached Mo Qingge and knelt, together saying "We respectfully invite Miss Qingwu to the rear hall to change into her bridal gown."
"Eh? How did Wang Xiaoqiang agree so readily? His taste is really heavy indeed, but I heard his previous three won were all exceptionally beautiful,"
"Wang Xiaoqiang really knows when to act appropriately, this way, he not only dispelled suspicion but also found a powerful backer..."
"Throwing the embroidered ball to select a husband is not without reason, but this wedding is too rushed!"
The Lords started whispering amongst themselves in discussion; Wang Xiaoqiang listened to such talks, feeling quite puzzled in his heart, secretly thinking "This wedding is too urgent, this is truly a flash wedding within a flash wedding, is there so trickery here?"
