The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

When the young demigod Annand rampaged through the Demon Beast Forest grabbing territories, hunting down countless Cang Lin Demon Dragons to the brink of extinction, it was a pity that the direct line of his family had never produced a clever Magician, so the harvested hearts piled up in the storeroom.

Now, as a bridal gift to his daughter-in-law, the act was legitimate and proper, a fitting use of the spoils.

However, after all, Annand was still a demigod, so he did have some reservations. Although both the letters and the newspapers were to his liking, he hadn't yet met Miss Yangzi, so he couldn't proceed so rashly.

At the very least, he wanted to meet her in person to feel at ease.

"If Brother Su would agree, to cement this joyous occasion, we could meet via the magic network for an in-depth discussion at the evening banquet the day after tomorrow,"

"—Ri Zi's father, Anbei, respectfully.

The butler finished reading the last sentence of the letter.

Annand was very pleased, this Anbei, who would become his in-law, handled matters securely and arranged everything properly, and he also understood rituals and had culture. He wished to meet him to see what kind of talent he was.

Who knows, he might even become brothers with him.

With his son's marriage now in sight, Annand was delighted, and immediately wrote two letters in return, showing off a wave of his literary skill.

One letter was a reply to Brother Anbei, and the other was to inform Arthur, telling his child that at six o'clock the day after tomorrow, there would be a huge surprise waiting for Arthur! He was going to get married!

—

That day, in the evening.

The daylight was already dim and uncertain; the sun slowly sank over the horizon, and the sky gradually turned from orange-white to a dusky yellow. The Chaotic Frontier slowly fell into the silence of the night, all was quiet, and even the cattle and horse saints had finished their work and went home to rest.

In the entire Chaos City, only the lights of the 'Border Maiden Group' at the Recovery Department Chief's office remained brightly lit.

"I have a huge surprise for tomorrow!" Arthur announced with a face full of solemn sanctity.

Holding the newly received letter in his hand, he looked around the room, his gaze sweeping past An Su and Lister.

He read every word and sentence in the letter, struggling to contain his growing smile.

Arthur naturally trusted his father's words.

Although the demigod Annand was strict with people, when it came to keeping promises, he had never broken his word. If he said there would be a surprise, there would definitely be a surprise.

Moreover, his father had extremely high standards. Since Arthur's youth, noble young ladies had continuously come to propose marriage in the Sun Realm. Each one had a graceful temperament, talent, and beautiful appearance, but his father had rejected them one by one, which showed how high his standards were.

Arthur had thought he would remain single all his life.

But now, there appeared a woman capable of capturing his father's discerning eye, and naturally, she would be the most beautiful, most outstanding, and most powerful woman of the time.

Still, he didn't know who this girl called "Ri Zi" mentioned in the letter was, but she must be exceptional.

Only a lioness could match a lion.

With this thought, Arthur's smile grew even brighter.

Just in the morning he had received the deeply coveted "Abyssal Flame Dragon Heart", and in the afternoon came his father's surprising letter. He was reaping the rewards in both his career and love life.

It was truly a double blessing.

With this in mind, Arthur couldn't help but puff up his chest, his gaze mingling with pity and pride as he looked at Brother Su. Everything had always been led by Brother Su in the past, but now it was finally Arthur's turn to take the lead.

"I'm going to be single no more," he declared with a divine and majestic expression, as if reading an imperial edict, "Don't envy me too much."

"From now on, I am the boss," stated Arthur without question.

After all, he was the first among the three to become a man.

"Congratulations," An Su said with a smile to Arthur, genuinely happy for him.

Lister watched the two companions and couldn't help but push his glasses up in resignation.

Such a loss of composure was quite unbecoming of a noble.

As a noble, one must always maintain a composed and restrained spirit. It was just a woman, after all, what was there to fuss about.

Neither riches nor beauty should move a noble.

That was the true spirit of the Moon Family.

And the reason Lister dressed as Miss Yue'er was precisely to promote the spirit of the Moon Family. Sadly, the world was too vulgar, only caring about his beauty and failing to appreciate the noble spirit within him.

No one could resonate with his spirit.

"By the way, Lister, who's your top admirer?" asked An Su.

"I do not concern myself with such matters," Lister replied disdainfully, pushing his glasses, "In fact, I haven't even opened those vulgar gifts."

A flicker of light passed through An Su's eyes.
