The Venerable Monster Tamer

Chapter 36: Yuwen Wan'er, Marriage Recruitment Conference

Yuwen Wan'er is sixteen years old this year.

On Mermaid Island, sixteen years old is not young, it is the age to talk about marriage. If you exceed this age and have not yet married, you will not be able to marry for life. This is a tradition that has been passed down for tens of thousands of years in the Mermaid Kingdom.

This tradition had been gradually abandoned, but for decades, the Mermaid King has been in power, promulgated decrees, picked up this tradition again, and even carried it forward. Now on Mermaid Island, fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls are already planning to get married. A sixteen-year-old girl is already an old girl in the eyes of the mermaid people.

This is not due to the tyranny of the Mermaid King, but due to the unique national conditions of the Mermaid Island.

Mermaid Island is full of yin and yang, and the population is not prosperous. Among the newborns, ten out of ten are girls, and only one or two are boys. In the early years, the population of Mermaid Island even experienced a negative growth. If it went on for a long time, the population would surely wither, and the country would lose its state. The consequences would be very serious.

Mermaid King encourages and advocates this tradition, but there is no other way. Every year, she will hold a nationwide marriage-seeking conference to attract young talents from other places to marry girls from the mermaid country.

The girl from the mermaid country is quite famous in Xingzhou. The women from Anding Kingdom are known as Xingzhou Double Walls, each with its own merits. Every year, a large number of young people travel thousands of miles to Mermaid Island to show off their talents and marry the beauties of Mermaid Island.

The Mermaid King has promulgated many laws to encourage young people from other lands to live on the Mermaid Island. Of course, if you want to go abroad with your wife, Mermaid Country doesn't force it. However, it is required that at least two children must be born and bequeathed to the Mermaid Nation for upbringing.

This national policy has been implemented for decades, and the population of Mermaid Island has shown a booming growth. But even so, after all, it is because of the weak foundation of the mermaid country, and it is still a situation with few people and many lands.

Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others, the Mermaid King has always strictly demanded that even his own blood family must follow this national policy, otherwise how can he convince the public?

So Yuwen Wan'er, even though she is a member of the royal family, but now at the age of sixteen, she still has to participate in recruiting relatives.

"Am I going to get married in today's wedding ceremony? From now on, will I live with a completely strange man? Or grow old together, or respect each other as a guest, or be like a passerby..." Walking in the corridor of the palace However, Yu Wenwan'er was at a loss for the future.

She was wearing a moon-blue silk long dress, delicate and elegant like the bright moon in the south of the Yangtze River, and her steps were beautiful, as if walking from the beautiful scroll of apricot blossoms and spring rain.

That head of black hair was like a spring, tied into a simple bun, even if it was a wedding ceremony, there were no pearls or hairpin decorations on the bun, revealing the owner's usual simple style.

Her eyebrows are like light willows and dragon smoke, and her eyes are like bright moon and clear waves. A small and delicate nose, pink lips with a lustrous luster. Her skin is like creamy fat, which can be broken by blowing bullets. Under the sunlight, her jade body glows like a Luochuan fairy.

She has an exquisite figure, is graceful and elegant, exudes the fragrance of books, and also exudes an unattainable but lingering melancholy.

An unexpected encounter three years ago made her meet Wan Du Wang. Wan Poison King was amazed that her appearance was so similar to his own when he was young. After some secret investigation, I realized that she was my own granddaughter.

It was an adventure. Because of this, Yuwen Wan'er learned about her true life experience, and her life quietly changed drastically. The Wan Poison King, who is about to die, poured his boundless love on her.

Wan Duwang had tried countless times to persuade him to recruit relatives, but Yuwen Wan'er insisted on doing so.

She has her own reasons and persistence.

Wan Du Wang thought that she wanted to repay the kindness of the Mermaid King's training, following the ten thousand year tradition of the Mermaid Kingdom. In fact, her real intention was not to cause another confrontation between the Wan Poison King and the Mermaid King because of herself. The Mermaid King brought her up, and Wan Du Wang was related to her by blood. She was caught in the middle and would rather sacrifice herself than see the two of them get hurt or die.

It's like the sigh of the king of poisons, she is so kind.

"Have you heard that this time, there are quite a few young and talented people who participated in the marriage recruitment?"

"Well, I heard that Mr. Leng Moming, the next generation master of King Yan's Sword Mansion, Mr. Gui Li, a traitor from Jiuyou City, Meng Fei, the little prince of Mengyuan Kingdom, and Sun Yan, the young leader of Lava Gang, all came to participate. This time the royal family has invited relatives."

"These four sons are the four most popular this year. If I can form a happy relationship with one of them, even if I die, I will be willing."

"Well, with our strength, don't even think about it. When recruiting relatives, not only young heroes have to compete with each other, but we also have to show our talents. At that time, the three princesses, six princesses, and ten princesses of the direct line The three princesses and others will definitely be among the best, with a glamorous demeanor. The four princes, how can we have our share."

"Hey, isn't this sister Wan'er in front? What a coincidence, I ran into you here."

A group of young girls rushed over from behind in the sound of Yingying and swallowing.

Yuwen Wan'er turned her head back, smiled gently, and suddenly she was like pear blossoms in full bloom, fresh and refined, illuminating the corridors brightly. With her unique soft tone, she replied softly: "I have met you sisters. In fact, it is inevitable to meet each other. I also want to participate in this recruitment."

Seeing Yuwen Wan'er's beautiful smile, the eyes of all the girls invariably showed a look of jealousy.

"Oh, I remembered. Sister Wan'er is sixteen years old this year, no wonder she is coming to invite relatives."

"Speaking of which, why is Sister Wan'er still dressed in her usual attire. This is the annual royal family invitation, even if she wears some pearls or jade hairpins, it's fine."

"Although we have to wear masks to cover our faces at the recruitment meeting, but those costumes and hairpins cannot be covered by masks. This is the main channel for us to show our charm! If we lose the election, the consequences will be disastrous .”

All the girls chattered.

Yuwen Wan'er shook her head slightly, and said with a slight smile: "I don't use those things all year round, and even if I lose the election, it's nothing. Yuwen Wan'er is still Yuwen Wan'er, and my life is stable and unchanged."

"Hehehe, Sister Wan'er, let's take a step first. Before participating in the marriage recruitment, we need to temporarily touch up the makeup."

"Yes, yes, sister Wan'er hurry up, recruiting relatives is a big deal."

The girls said with flickering eyes.

"Well, see you at the wedding ceremony." Yuwen Wan'er nodded.

The girls hurriedly left, and swept past her like a gust of wind.

"Unexpectedly, Yuwen Wan'er will also come to participate in this wedding invitation! This time is miserable. She is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is a master of nurturing. Fortunately, she has to wear a mask to cover her real appearance at the wedding invitation meeting. Otherwise, , I'm afraid that the third princess and the others will be snatched away by her."

"There are only three princesses, three princesses, six princesses, and thirteen princesses, but there are four of the most popular sons. At first, I had some extravagant hopes, but there is only one son left. Alas, my luck is really bad. This time, Yuwen Wan'er unexpectedly appeared Now, we don't have the slightest chance."

"This is a real person who doesn't show her face. I thought it was because of her weak nature that she doesn't want to compete with the world. I didn't expect that she had such deep thoughts and specially seized this good opportunity to go out."

"Hmph, listen to her haughty answer just now. She's talking ironically, maybe she's mocking us in her heart."

The women's discussions came from the wind, Yuwen Wan'er heard it, and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Why does telling the truth cause such misunderstandings? But forget it. Hasn't my side been filled with such and such misunderstandings all along...

Why bother to argue? That's just other people's opinions, I only live my own.

I really would rather lose the election, not marry for life, and spend my whole life with flowers and plants, serving grandma is a very happy thing.

For love, the fear and confusion in Wan'er's heart far exceed expectations.

"Go in, you are the last one. This is your mask. Once you put it on, it can only be taken off by your own husband. If you lose the election, Yuwen Wan'er, you will have to wear this mask for the rest of your life." A mask. The consequences are serious, so show yourself."

When she came to the hall, Yuwen Wan'er took the mask from the relevant personnel and put it on. Meimou glanced and found that almost all the seats were occupied, except for the most inconspicuous seat in the corner.

She suddenly understood why the girls said goodbye in a hurry just now. It turned out that he wanted to come in early and grab a conspicuous position.

She was not angry, she chuckled. She wished that everyone would ignore her, and she would be defeated in the end. Although it is necessary to repay the kindness of the Mermaid King and abide by the traditions of the Mermaid Kingdom. But if you lose the election, you can't blame her.

Compared with the unpredictable future, she still likes the peaceful and peaceful life now.

Going to the corner and sitting down, she hid her exquisite body in the darkness. He secretly sighed good luck in his heart, and his whole body relaxed.

The recruiting meeting has begun.

All of a sudden, young people from all walks of life, some elegant and handsome, some heroic and mighty, some coquettish and bright, some sunny and handsome, competed to appear on the stage.

Every time a test question is asked, they compete with each other. Sometimes he composes poems, calligraphy and paintings on the spot, full of economics;

Of course, the royal princesses present will not be idle either.

After the man's test question, there is another test question for the woman's side. The content is also varied, involving astronomy, geography, current situation, singing and dancing. Among the princesses, the competition is also fierce.

The hall was full of excitement, and Yuwen Wan'er seemed to have disappeared, becoming an outsider. She was not anxious at all, she stayed out of the matter, and passed the time by thinking about some difficult problems in cultivation with her cheeks on her hands.

(ps: There is another chapter at 22:00, to end this branch plot. Yuwen Wan'er is the second heroine, so I spent some ink to describe her and Jin Bihan's two personalities. I hope you like it.)
