Chapter 297: Encountering Three Great Demons, Yingxue’s Skirt Hem Slightly Dirty

"Sir, do I look good?"

"You look very beautiful."

At the wedding table, facing the commandery princess's sudden inquiry, Xu Xi nodded in affirmation.

A red and white martial arts robe.

A simple and elegant light green long dress.

The reason these two outfits looked good wasn't because the clothes themselves were extraordinary, but because Wu Yingxue herself was exceptional enough.

That beauty was beyond doubt.

Immediately after.

Wu Yingxue asked a second question.

"Sir, am I powerful?"

"Of course you are powerful."

Xu Xi affirmed once more.

If even the Supreme Realm isn't considered powerful, then the other living beings in the Multiverse Sea might as well die of shame.

Altering Karma, reversing time and space, manifesting words into laws, and reigning Supreme across eternity.

These unique transcendent essences.

Made Wu Yingxue invincible across the heavens long ago.

Having received two affirmations in a row, a smile blossomed on Wu Yingxue's face, her joyful eyes reflecting Xu Xi's face and the bright red wedding decorations behind him.

She asked the final question.

"Sir, how is my character?"

"Excellent."

Xu Xi answered quite quickly.

In the Martial Arts World of the third simulation, he had witnessed the girl's growth with his own eyes, shedding blood and tears as she stubbornly walked to the end, step by step.

She would grieve for the hungry and cold commoners.

She would strive because of her own weakness.

In terms of character, Wu Yingxue had gained Xu Xi's recognition long ago.

At this point.

At the joyous Wedding Banquet, the two sat across from each other at the red table, and the light in the girl's eyes had reached an unprecedented peak.

She was a bit too nervous and swallowed softly.

Her two index fingers poked together.

She didn't dare to meet Xu Xi's gaze.

Hesitant, her voice was tiny, and her cheeks were tinged with a blush from the decorations of the Wedding Hall.

"Sir, since I am so good, then could you consider…"

"Greetings, Grand Master Xu! Greetings, Little Master Wu!"

At the most critical moment, a loud greeting came, interrupting the commandery princess's words.

The newcomers were commoners from the Qiuhuo Army.

A family of three.

Parents brought their child to offer greetings and thanks, asking about Xu Xi and Wu Yingxue's recent situation, and enthusiastically stuffing a bag of fruit into their hands.

"This is what we grew ourselves. Grand Master Xu and Little Master Wu, please take it back and eat it!"

Warm smiles overflowed from the commoners' faces as they insisted Xu Xi accept it.

It wasn't until a good while later.

That the family of three said their goodbyes and left.

"Yingxue, what were you trying to say just now?" Xu Xi waved his hand, storing the fruit gifted by the commoners into his spatial ring, and looked at Wu Yingxue in confusion.

The girl adjusted her breathing and patted her cheeks.

Recalling the words she had prepared in her heart.

She looked solemnly at Xu Xi and spoke again: "Sir, I actually wanted to say…"

"Xi-geer, we've come to see you!"

Another voice arrived just at the right time.

Interrupting the commandery princess's words.

The newcomers were other commoners in groups of three or five, the wrinkles on their faces a joint creation of time and sunlight, shouting that they wanted to toast Xu Xi.

Some carried roast chicken and fruit, stuffing them into Wu Yingxue's hands.

"We remember that Little Master Wu loves eating this the most."

"Don't mention it, don't mention it, just take it and eat."

"I…" Wu Yingxue really wanted to say something.

But facing one simple, smiling face after another, all the words got stuck in her throat and she couldn't say them.

Finally.

She could only accept those gifts.

Drowned in the people's enthusiastic greetings.

After a long period of pleasantries, the people's enthusiasm slowly faded, and they bid farewell to Xu Xi to return to their seats.

Something was wrong.

Something was very wrong.

The warm and lively Wedding Banquet was filled with the scent of happiness everywhere, but looking at this scene, Wu Yingxue, who finally had a moment to breathe, sensed something unusual.

"Rather than an accident, it's more like a targeted interruption."

Coming to greet is normal.

Giving gifts is also normal.

But the timing was simply too coincidental.

"Sir—"

Wu Yingxue looked up at the sky. In that clear, azure sky, nothing existed, but under the gaze of the Supreme, some enemies were faintly appearing.

This time.

Wu Yingxue no longer tried to say those important words.

Instead, she temporarily bid farewell to Xu Xi.

"Sir, I suddenly remembered something. There are some demons I haven't had time to deal with. Could you please wait for me here for a moment?"

The commandery princess stood up.

And walked away from the red wedding table.

She said there were particularly powerful demons waiting for her to deal with.

Wu Yingxue told Xu Xi not to worry, her strength could ignore any petty scoundrels. Once she finished with the demons, she would tell Xu Xi those unfinished words.

"Sir, I'll be right back."

With that.

Wu Yingxue's figure disappeared from the Wedding Hall.

She broke through the Void Realm, going who knows where.

"Is that child… really going to be okay?" Xu Xi was a bit worried.

He wasn't worried about the commandery princess's strength, but rather felt that with her impulsive personality, it was truly hard to be at ease.

Sunlight spilled into the Wedding Hall, moving slowly with time, climbing up the pillars covered in Double Happiness characters.

The smell of wine.

The smell of meat.

The smell of incense.

Various complex scents intertwined and permeated the air of the Wedding Banquet.

Wu Yingxue was right; she indeed returned very quickly.

The flames of the red candles flickered in the wind.

Bright red wax dripped down the candle holders and cooled into solids in the wind. From the time the commandery princess left until her return, the red candles had only shortened by a tiny bit.

"Sir, I'm back."

She reported her safety to Xu Xi.

Her long dress was illuminated by the candlelight.

Highlighting her beautiful face.

But Xu Xi clearly saw that there was a bit more dust on the commandery princess's face, and her light green dress was much more disheveled, as if she had just been through a fierce battle.

"Yingxue, are you alright?"

Xu Xi stepped forward to help the commandery princess tidy her clothes while wiping the dust off her face.

The commandery princess was uncharacteristically silent for a moment.

"It's nothing, Sir. It's just that the demons I encountered were a bit strong." Wu Yingxue took a deep breath, seemingly suppressing something, as she answered Xu Xi with a forced smile.

"Very strong?"

"Yes, three very strong demons, but they still weren't as strong as me."

"Then why do you look so disheveled?"

"Ahem, it's just that the hem of my skirt is slightly dirty. Don't mind it, Sir."

As she spoke.

The commandery princess sat down beside Xu Xi.

From the roast chicken on the table, she tore off a large, glistening chicken leg and, with a forced laugh of delight, took a huge bite of the meat.

She didn't continue the previous topic with Xu Xi, her eyes half-closed as if she had completely forgotten about it.

Her cheeks puffed out as she focused solely on eating the meat.

Damned demons.

So annoying!

…

At dusk, A-Niu and his wife stepped out from the inner room and returned to the Wedding Hall to toast the guests.

Toasting one by one and exchanging blessings.

"Brother Xu!"

"Congratulations, A-Niu."

Xu Xi, who rarely drank, clinked glasses with A-Niu today and downed a large cup of wedding wine.

A-Niu's tolerance for alcohol wasn't very good.

After clinking glasses with Xu Xi.

He burst into tears and hugged Xu Xi, refusing to let go.

"Brother Xu, I—I will be happy forever from now on!" He wailed, making a promise to Xu Xi.

"Yes, I believe you, A-Niu." Xu Xi felt that he too was becoming a bit overwhelmed by the alcohol. He tilted his head back, looking at the orange sunset, and remained silent for a long time.
