"Master, I won't go to the Nine Families' wedding."
Atop the Misty Peak, Ye Xuan faced his nine masters and slapped the marriage contracts onto the stone table.
"My good disciple, don't you like beauties? These nine exceptional beauties, as graceful as goddesses, are more beautiful than beauty pageant champions!"
"Wouldn't living with them be better than peeping at village girls bathing?"
The nine masters seemed ethereal, yet their faces carried playful smiles.
"Masters, considering we're teacher and student, then there's no need to fool me... If there were really beauties, would it be my turn?"
"I suspect you have accepted others' money and want me to be the scapegoat!"
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes.
It’s the 21st century, and they're still doing this?
Do they think I don’t have internet access because I live on the mountain?
"My boy, we've already notified the other parties. If you refuse to go propose, it would be a blow to our reputation!"
The headmaster's smile stiffened, turning into anger: "Aren't you scared we'll smack you?"
"Beat me?"
Ye Xuan examined his nine masters and chuckled coldly: "Even if the nine of you old men gang up on me, you can't defeat me, can you?"
"You brat, has grown some wings!"
The other masters' faces darkened all of a sudden. However, they didn't dare to start anything. After all, Ye Xuan really wasn't just blowing hot air.
The waves behind drive on the waves before, and in the current wave lies a dragon crossing the river.
Not only is Ye Xuan a cultivator, but he also has a rich and ultra-powerful background, enough to rival a nation!
"Fine, if you aren't going, then I'll call your father. After all, it's your father who arranged this Nine-Gate marriage affair."
Master laughed slyly, "If we can't deal with you, can't he?"
"You're given one last chance, descend the mountain for the marriage proposal, or wait for your father to come!"
The other masters smirked, full of confidence in Ye Xuan's mysterious old man.
Even a mad dragon needs an immortal to subdue it!
"Damn, you guys have no martial morals."
Thinking of his father's terror, Ye Xuan clenched his teeth, "Fine, let's do it. I will father a bunch of kids with them, then bring them to the mountain and let you guys suffer from their noise!"
Saying so, Ye Xuan picked up the nine marriage certificates, and left the mountain in anger.
"Disciple, when you have time, go and see those few senior sisters of yours. They miss you quite a lot."
The nine masters laughed joyfully, it was only fireworks short of a complete celebration.
But they also knew.
Once the mad dragon leaves the abyss, the world is in for another remarkable event.
"After I get to the city, I'll break off all my engagements! What can you old men do to me!"
Although Ye Xuan cursed under his breath, he eagerly hoped that those facing him would be stunning beauties.
Because he had secretly peeped at his younger female disciple bathing, his father punished him by confining him to the mountain for a few months. This made Ye Xuan a bit restless.
Just as he reached the foot of the mountain…
A woman with a captivating figure stepped off a military off-road vehicle.
She was amazingly beautiful, with her long hair gracefully tied up, her skin as smooth as jade, and her lovely eyes held a flash of intensity!
Her straight legs, slender waist that was as supple as a willow, and the gentle, vast expanse of her chest were especially striking!
She was dressed in dark-green armor with a bold red cloak fluttering behind her, embodying an indescribable gallantry!
Standing behind her were two people, a male and a female, her subordinate officers!
Fully armed, with guns loaded, their eyes as sharp as eagles, displaying extraordinary momentum!
"May I ask, do you know a person named Ye Xuan? I heard he lives in this mountain."
The beautiful warrior lady turned her attractive eyes towards Ye Xuan, her gorgeous teeth faintly visible as she spoke.
"Oh?"
Ye Xuan sized up the female warrior from top to bottom, his eyes lit up!
He had just descended the mountain and had already run into such a breathtaking beauty!
"Lucky me."
Ye Xuan cracked a faint smile: “What a coincidence, I am the Ye Xuan you've been looking for!”
"You?"
Xiao Bingxue slightly furrowed her brows, assessing Ye Xuan with scrutiny.
Her face gradually turning more upset!
A look of disappointment filled her eyes, along with an unmistakable anger that she couldn’t conceal!
I truly can't understand why my father arranged this marriage for me?
"I am Xiao Bingxue!"
Xiao Bingxue spoke coldly, and promptly produced a marriage certificate: "When we were young, your father and my father had settled this marriage agreement. "
"You must have guessed who I am. I am the female war-god, who leads thousands of troops. And you... are just an apothecary, who plants in the mountains..."
During her speech, Xiao Bingxue glanced at Ye Xuan's mud covered feet, her expression turning increasingly haughty: "We belong to two different worlds, and we are not suitable. I came to terminate our engagement!"
Two adjuncts, a man and a woman, who were standing behind her, contemptuously gazed at Ye Xuan, their faces full of disdain!
A bucolic bumpkin, who has the audacity to marry our gorgeous lady war-god?
Daydreaming indeed!
"..."
Looking at the ostentatious demeanor of the other party, Ye Xuan's smile faded, his expression uncommonly turned cold!
He is naturally carefree, congenial, he is the kind of person who'll accord a mile worth of respect if you showed him an inch.
However, if someone were to scorn or sneer at Ye Xuan, he wouldn't let it slide, he'd pay back double in kind!
Ye Xuan grabs the wedding letter from Xiao Bingxue's hand, and in front of her face, tears it bit by bit!
"You think highly of yourself, utterly arrogant and condescending, it's clear that you're very poorly educated!"
"Other than looking a bit pretty, you have no merits!"
"A woman like you is completely unworthy to be my wife, even being my servant, you're not even qualified!"
"So be it then, this wedding agreement is henceforth declared void!"
Talk about closing a deal, the wedding letter had been torn into tiny fragments by Ye Xuan, fluttering and scattering on the ground.
Xiao Bingxue's face darkens, extremely unsightly!
She felt as if Ye Xuan had delivered a slap to her face!
Her two subordinates, a man and a woman, are filled with inimitable rage: "How outrageous! You dare to disrespect our miss? She is the War God from the Dragon Kingdom, code number 136! What rights do you have to say these things?"
Ye Xuan let out a cold laugh, his gaze filled with contempt: "What kind of person I am, you are not qualified to know!"
"Arrogant!"
Angered to the point where their faces are turning ash-grey, the two subordinates were about to take action to punish Ye Xuan, but were stopped by Xiao Bingxue's wave of hand.
"Ye Xuan."
Xiao Bingxue, her eyes still icy, said: "You were dumped by me, I know your mood is bad, and perhaps my previous words have seriously hurt your self-esteem."
"Here's the deal, I promise you one request, as long as it's within my capabilities, I'll help you achieve it! Speak up!"
The two official deputies, a man and a woman, behind them sneered repeatedly, their disdainful gazes even more pronounced than before!
Aren't you, Ye Xuan, very arrogant and conceited?
We would like to see, how this country bumpkin of yours would make outrageous demands!
However, what they didn't expect at all was that Ye Xuan's face was even more disdainful: "What you can afford, I don't fancy, and what I fancy, you definitely can't afford."
"Besides, I know many high-level people in your vaunted War Department, I don't need your help at all!"
"Don't make a fool of yourself, it's embarrassing! Let's go!"
Ye Xuan’s words instantly made Xiao Bingxue and the other two extremely uncomfortable!
They could feel that Ye Xuan was truly looking down on them from the bottom of his heart!
Any promises, any goddess of war, Ye Xuan doesn’t value them at all!
"Do you despise me so much?"
Xiao Bingxue's beautiful eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness!
"Yes!"
Ye Xuan curved his lips in a slight smirk, deliberately teasing, "Or perhaps, you'd like to join us for a meal, and then we can have a discussion about strengths and merits during dinner!"
Listening to Ye Xuan's provocative words without basis, Xiao Bingxue's face turned crimson.
The female deputy glared fiercely at Ye Xuan and berated loudly, "Shameless!"
"Forget it!"
A trace of contempt flickered in Xiao Bingxue's eyes, "He's nothing but a mere herb farmer who hasn't seen the world; You two shouldn't lower yourselves to the level of a country bumpkin!"
"Ye Xuan, I'm only passing by. I'm headed to join the Southeast's Nine War Gods to apprehend the Four Dark Heavenly Kings!"
"I'm kindly advising you - stop messing around in this dilapidated place, it will diminish your fighting spirit!"
Finishing her words, Xiao Bingxue took out a card, placed it down, and walked off.
On the road, the two deputy officers couldn't help but mutter, "Such a country bumpkin, arrogant and lewd, even claiming to know the higher-ups in our war department, how audacious!"
"Hmpf."
Xiao Bingxue gave a cold huff, "He's nothing but putting on a brave face. Just wait and see, he'll definitely come to me, begging for a compensation for the divorce!"
No sooner had they left, than Ye Xuan's special phone began to buzz.
The incoming call displayed - Head of Dragon Nation.
In the Dragon Nation's War Department, military law was as immovable as a mountain.
It took a series of promotions from various levels of military rank, and making significant contributions, to finally reach the level of a War God.
Above the War God are the principal directors of the major battle zones.
Above them are the high-ranking officials of the headquarters, followed by the five Great Emperors.
The head of the Battle Department, the primus inter pares among the five Emperors, the number one in the country!
The rank of the department head is five levels higher than that of Xiao Bingxue.
In other words, Ye Xuan wasn’t lying, he knows many high-ranking members of the Battle Department, including the highest-ranked one!
However, at the moment, Ye Xuan frowns slightly, "I just came down from the mountain, and Uncle Zhao is looking for me. Something doesn't feel right... Has something big happened?"
Ye Xuan answers the call, "Uncle Zhao, how have you been?"
"Not too well, I have some troubles on my mind," came the disgruntled voice of the department head over the phone. "The Four Dark Lords have escaped prison and fled to the South. They are naturally ferocious, and might cause a lot of trouble."
"Even though you're no longer in the Battle Department, you were the one who arrested and placed these four lords in prison, so I need your help in capturing them."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan's brows furrow, "You've got to be kidding. Isn't that the same mission that Xiao Bingxue was talking about just now?"
