Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 552: Chapter 552 Thanks for the rainbow gift from Old Iron (Third Update)
 

Today was a rare, clear day for Lingnan.

Though it was only an engagement ceremony, the Yu Family still hosted it with great pomp and circumstance.

They specifically invited guests from all corners to be witnesses.

Xue An’s family, as the most important VIPs, were seated in a separate room on the second floor.

Huyue stood by the window, watching the festivities with keen interest and occasionally letting out a few sighs of admiration.

“This little girl is quite attractive!”

“Ah, that one’s not bad either!”

Nian Nian and Xiang Xiang, two little girls, heard Huyue talking so animatedly and also came over to look down.

After watching for a while, Xiang Xiang looked up at Huyue and said.

“Uncle, I’ve noticed that none of these young ladies are as pretty as you!”

Nian Nian nodded in agreement next to her, “Mm-hmm, I think so too.”

Huyue’s smile froze, and after his eyelids twitched wildly for a bit, he helplessly said, “Nian Nian, Xiang Xiang, in the future you shouldn’t say uncle is pretty, you should say uncle is very handsome! Understand?”

The two little girls looked at each other, then shook their heads and said in unison, “Mom said lying is not what good children do!”

Huyue: “….”

The ceremony progressed in an orderly fashion, just as the couple was ready to exchange their engagement tokens.

At the distant horizon, a rainbow slowly unfolded.

This sight drew a chorus of gasps from the crowd.

Huyue, however, blinked in surprise and then said with astonishment, “How can there be such a weak deity?”

Huyue could see the deity’s aura contained within the rainbow, but that aura was so feeble.

It even made Huyue wonder how that deity managed to survive at all.

“It’s a young girl who became a deity after her death! She has ties with Yu Family going back several generations; this must be a congratulatory gift she’s giving to Yu Ming!” Xue An said as he walked to the window, speaking indifferently.

Huyue’s eyes began to sparkle, “Young girl? Is she pretty?”

Clearly, that’s where all his attention was now.

Xue An gave Huyue a glance, “Probably not as pretty as you!”

Huyue didn’t know how to refute that and could only thicken his skin and pretend he hadn’t heard.

Then he leaned out of the window and shouted toward the distance.

“Hey, thanks for the rainbow, buddy!”

The crowd downstairs was stunned by this sudden outburst.

And the rainbow in the sky seemed to be frightened as well, trembling slightly before hastily disappearing.

Huyue retracted his body and chuckled, “Quite shy!”

Xue An finally couldn’t help it, “Where did you learn all this from?”

Huyue smiled proudly, “From a smartphone! I think smartphones are the most interesting things in this world! People talk so nicely on them, I absolutely love it!”

As he spoke, Huyue took out a smartphone, skillfully opened a live streaming app, and excitedly swiped through.

“Look at this, how pretty the ladies here are! Especially this princess, she’s my favorite! She sounds so nice! Even though her face is covered, she must be beautiful!”

With that, he clicked on a stream.

At that moment, the princess was connecting with someone else on a call, and Huyue grinned as he held up the phone for Xue An to see.

“Listen to this, isn’t her voice pleasant?”

Xue An glanced at the smartphone screen, then his expression turned strange.

“Are you sure this is the super pretty young lady you’ve been talking about?”

Huyue nodded, “Of course! I even sent her a good amount of money!”

Xue An turned his head away, unable to bear looking, “Don’t say I know you!”

With that, he turned and walked away.

Huyue was somewhat perplexed, “Is there a problem? What happened to the beauty? How strange!”

As he spoke, he lowered his head to look at the screen.

Then, he froze.

He saw that the photo used by the lady he had rewarded to cover her face had somehow failed, revealing her true appearance.

And this true appearance turned out to be a grandmother-level elderly participant.

Watching this “grandmother,” who didn’t realize her face-covering software had malfunctioned, pretending to be cute, claiming to be a beauty anchor, and letting out giggles,

Huyue’s complexion went from green to pale, his hand holding the phone trembled incessantly.

“Uncle, what’s wrong with you?” Xiang Xiang piped up, having emerged from who knows where.

“Yes, Uncle, are you not feeling well?” Nian Nian asked.

“Uncle is fine, Uncle is just a bit tired!” Huyue said somewhat sadly.

Xiang Xiang leaned over for a glance at the phone, “Wow, Uncle, are you chatting with an old granny?”

At those words, Huyue shuddered and immediately threw his phone out of the window.

“No, how could I possibly be chatting with someone? Hehehehehe.” Huyue laughed nervously a few times.

This incident obviously dealt a great blow to Huyue; he sat on the sofa in silence for at least five minutes.

Only when his disciple Shi Xueqing came over did he ask, somewhat bewildered, “Good disciple, is there something in this world called ‘beauty filters’?”

Shi Xueqing was baffled by the question, “Yes! What about it, Ancestor Master?”

Huyue shook his head, “Nothing, it’s just that these ‘beauty filters’ seem to be more powerful than our Fox Clan’s Illusory Art.”

However, Huyue’s resilience was clearly very strong, and he soon returned to normal but developed a quirk.

That was, whenever anyone mentioned the word “grandmother” in front of him, he would flip out on the spot.

After a while, the banquet dishes started to flow forth like water.

While everyone was eating, Yu Ming, accompanied by Yuan Yunxin, came over to offer a toast and express their gratitude.

Yu Ran followed behind, holding a bottle of wine.

“Sir, your presence here is our honor. Yuan Yunxin and I would like to raise this glass to you!”

Yu Ming and Yuan Yunxin lifted their glasses.

Xue An smiled slightly and emptied his glass in one gulp.

Then Yu Ming gestured with his eyes for his sister Yu Ran to come forward to pour more wine.

Yu Ran, who had been lost in thought, snapped back to reality upon seeing her brother’s glance and hurried over to pour the wine.

Yet her hand shook slightly as she did so.

Huyue saw this scene, then took a meaningful look at Xue An and smiled profoundly.

He understood why, the first time he saw Yu Ran, he noticed such deep emotions knitting between the brows of this heaven’s pampered child.

So it was because of Xue An.

If that was the case, then she could only blame herself.

You see, his own sister Hu Ying was once touted as a beauty that appeared only once in a millennium in the Fox Realm.

Even with such qualifications, Xue An remained unmoved.

In the end, it resulted in Hu Ying running away from home, and her whereabouts are still unknown to this day.

Thinking of this made Huyue’s liver ache.

After the engagement party, Xue An and the family stayed in Lingnan for one night, then prepared to return to Beijiang the next day.

As for Huyue…

He naturally followed.

Especially when he heard that Xue An had come on a private jet, and that there were numerous flight attendants on board,

Huyue stated very seriously that he was following Xue An solely to quickly locate the Fate Secret Realm.

As for whether others believed him or not, that was inconsequential.
