Open up and break into another world

Three days later.

Xu Ming, Li Xiujie, and the assembled Great Beings and geniuses, gathered once more in the Grand Hall of Matrimony.

This was the final stage of the marriage selection—the presentation of betrothal gifts!

"This outcome is truly unexpected!"

"Indeed! I never thought that the one laughing last would actually be Xu Ming!"

"The upcoming presentation of betrothal gifts is just a formality for Xu Ming! I think, even if Xu Ming brings out a cabbage, the Holy Emperor City Lord would happily marry his daughter to him!"

"Haha! Yes! Yes!"

As the Great Beings chatted, they unknowingly started talking about Li Xiujie.

"What do you all think… what exactly is going on with the slaps on Li Xiujie's face?"

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap…

The crisp and pleasant sound of slaps on Li Xiujie's face continued incessantly, never stopping.

The gazes of the Great Beings towards Li Xiujie were filled with strangeness.

"Who exactly did Li Xiujie offend? To be slapped like this at such an important occasion as the marriage selection; he has truly lost all face!"

"What he lost is not just Li Xiujie's face, but the entire Li family's reputation and glory!—If I were Li Xiujie, I would definitely withdraw from the marriage selection immediately in this situation!"

"It can only be said that Li Xiujie's skin is relatively thick, to be able to endure even this!"

"In my opinion, what's most surprising is that, even now, Li Xiujie still has the face to appear in the Grand Hall of Matrimony! You have to know, he no longer has any chance of winning, so what is he here for? Just to embarrass himself on purpose?"

"Who knows! Perhaps Li Xiujie has become addicted to losing face?—Anyway, he has already lost face for so long, he doesn't mind losing a little more!"

"That makes sense!"

…

After all the Great Beings and geniuses were seated; under the auspices of Old Bai, Yin Ran reappeared in the Grand Hall of Matrimony.

"Xu Ming!" As soon as Yin Ran entered, her gaze eagerly searched the hall, and immediately landed on Xu Ming.

Their eyes met.

The distance between them seemed infinitely close, as if they were already embracing tightly.

"Little Yin!" Xu Ming gave Yin Ran a reassuring look—Xu Ming had already prepared ten drops of Chaos Origin Fluid as a betrothal gift, absolutely foolproof!

Just as Ruler Yun had said before: If Xu Ming had brought out this betrothal gift earlier, he probably wouldn't even have needed to participate in the marriage selection; he could have directly taken Yin Ran home!

"Mm!" Yin Ran understood Xu Ming's gaze, and nodded firmly.

…

"Heh!" Suddenly, Li Xiujie's sneer rang out in Xu Ming's ear, "Are you feeling very proud now? Very confident?"

"Huh?" Xu Ming's expression darkened.

"Heh heh!" Li Xiujie, bearing the continuous slaps, sneered coldly, "Until the moment the result is announced, no one knows who will laugh last!"

"What do you mean!?" Xu Ming's expression was very unsightly; Li Xiujie's words made him feel very uncomfortable!

"Just watch!" After saying this, Li Xiujie said no more; he stood there arrogantly like an iron tower, enduring the slaps.

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap…

However, Xu Ming was made somewhat worried by Li Xiujie's words.

"Could it be… that Li Xiujie still has some trump card up his sleeve?" Xu Ming couldn't help but think, "Impossible! No matter what trump card he has, the Holy Emperor City Lord absolutely cannot choose him!"

You have to know…

In the Fate Assessment, Xu Ming crushed all the geniuses, directly monopolizing ninety-nine of the "Top Hundred" spots!

In the Talent Assessment, Xu Ming's age shocked all the Great Beings, causing them to doubt their lives!

In the Background Assessment, Xu Ming was like a monarch descending upon the world! The shout of "Greetings, Bro Ming" from the army of three thousand Sovereigns still faintly echoed in the ears of the Sovereigns and geniuses.

Xu Ming advanced triumphantly all the way, crushing everything in his path, unstoppable!

Now, in the "Presentation of Betrothal Gifts" stage that was about to begin, the betrothal gift that Xu Ming was going to present was even more valuable than the entire net worth of a Quasi-Saint!

Such performance!

Such potential!

Such conditions!

If the Holy Emperor City Lord still didn't choose Xu Ming, Xu Ming would probably directly resort to snatching the person!

In fact… if Xu Ming was willing to spare no expense, he could have already snatched the person within Holy Emperor City!—Although the Holy Emperor City Lord was considered an invincible existence in Holy Emperor City; however, if Xu Ming snatched the person and ran, the Holy Emperor City Lord wouldn't even be able to stop him!

However, Xu Ming would not do such a thing as "snatching someone" unless absolutely necessary!

Because… if Xu Ming won from the marriage selection and then married Yin Ran, that would be a proper and legitimate marriage! But if he resorted to snatching the person, then it would not be a proper marriage; in the future, Yin Ran might even be ridiculed by the entire God Domain.

Therefore, for Yin Ran's sake, Xu Ming would try his best not to use such an extreme measure as "snatching someone"!

Of course, if Xu Ming had already done so well, and the Holy Emperor City Lord still didn't betroth Yin Ran to him; then, Xu Ming probably wouldn't care so much—he would snatch her first!

But in reality, Xu Ming was only thinking too much and becoming anxious because he was taking the outcome of the marriage selection too seriously. Was it possible that the Holy Emperor City Lord wouldn't choose him given the current situation?

It was impossible!

…

Time slowly passed in an atmosphere of tense anticipation.

Suddenly, Old Bai's aura became solemn: "The auspicious hour has arrived! Please present your betrothal gifts!—Xu Ming, you go first!"

Xu Ming also intended to "go first"—although he was curious about what betrothal gift Li Xiujie would bring out; he believed that no matter what Li Xiujie brought out, it could not be more precious than his betrothal gift!

Ten drops of Chaos Origin Fluid!

It was even more valuable than the entire net worth of a Quasi-Saint! If Xu Ming went first, he could use the betrothal gift to properly intimidate Li Xiujie; it was even possible that he could intimidate Li Xiujie to the point where he wouldn't dare to bring out his "shabby" betrothal gift!

In that case, Xu Ming could win without a fight!

Boom!

Xu Ming exuded overwhelming confidence as he stepped forward a few steps.

"My betrothal gift is…"

The gazes of all the Great Beings and all the geniuses focused on Xu Ming; wanting to see what kind of betrothal gift Xu Ming would bring out.

Only Li Xiujie and the Li family head had a hint of contempt flash through their eyes.

Xu Ming spread out his hands, and ten exquisitely crystal-clear water droplets floated in front of him: "My betrothal gift is… ten drops of Chaos Origin Fluid!"

Sorry, there's only this one update today.

These past few days, work in reality has been too busy, I strained my back and am still working… From yesterday until now, I've only slept for more than three hours; coding is really inefficient and lacks quality.

Fortunately, it's already passed.

August has ended, this should be the month with the least updates since I started writing this book. In September, I will definitely update more.

Thank you!
