The expressions of all the guests present twitched.
Xia Feng was also dumbfounded. “Uh… this is too fast. I don’t even know you yet.”
The soft sensation on his arm kept stimulating his nerves, making his speech a bit stuttered.
Yu Siya blinked her beautiful eyes and said playfully, “It’s alright. We can get to know each other slowly later.”
Xia Feng swallowed hard. “Well, your family isn’t here either. An engagement banquet should involve both families… Miss Yu—”
“Call me wifey!” Yu Siya pouted and stomped her foot, pretending to be annoyed.
“Uh…”
Xia Feng opened his mouth but just couldn’t say it. After a long pause, he cautiously said, “How about I call you Siya instead?”
“Siya? Fine, I guess.”
Yu Siya pouted again, looking a little disappointed. Her pitiful expression could truly melt anyone’s heart.
Xia Feng quickly turned his head away, not daring to look into her eyes. “Siya… maybe you should talk to your family about this first?”
He really couldn’t believe that a Holy Maiden would travel thousands of miles just to throw herself at him. There had to be some unknown reason behind this. Even though this Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden was stunningly beautiful, extraordinarily powerful, and so gentle toward him, he didn’t dare accept it.
Even if he wanted to, would the Heavenly Fox Holy Land ever allow their Holy Maiden to marry a “waste” who hadn’t even become a proper martial artist?
Yu Siya giggled, cupped his face in her hands, and said softly, “No need. We can do it first and explain later.”
Do it first and explain later?
Everyone felt like they had misheard.
Those words actually came out of the mouth of the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden?
She didn’t seem like a proud, peerless Holy Maiden at all… she looked more like a clingy girl hopelessly in love!
Liu Shiyu, still kneeling, lowered her head with a grim face. A dignified member of the Ten Supreme Holy Maidens was actually throwing herself at that useless trash?
Why?
Seriously—why?
Could it be he had some hidden identity or ability she didn’t know about?
If Yu Siya had appeared at any other time, she wouldn’t have been this shaken.
But the timing was too cruel.
She had just broken off the engagement, just mocked Xia Feng as a waste, and in the next moment, the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden arrived to propose to him… It made her look like a blind fool and an utter joke.
She felt like everyone around was secretly mocking her.
She clenched her fists tightly, screaming in silence inside.
Xia Feng, meanwhile, looked at the beautiful face just inches away, breathing in her gentle fragrance, feeling the heat of her breath against his skin. His mouth went dry.
He quickly looked away and swallowed again to moisten his throat. “Um… Siya, can you let go of me first?”
“Nope! If you agree to marry me, then I’ll let go.”
Not only did Yu Siya refuse, she leaned even closer.
Xia Feng leaned back to keep some distance and chuckled awkwardly. “Everyone’s watching. It doesn’t look good.”
“Who dares to stare?” Yu Siya said with a grin.
As soon as she spoke, the guests who had been quietly enjoying the drama instantly turned their heads away, not daring to look again.
Xia Feng glanced around and was speechless. Seriously? Were they that scared?
“Husband, would you be willing to marry me?”
Yu Siya’s voice was full of temptation. Her red lips were so close, they were almost touching Xia Feng’s cheek.
At that moment, snowflakes began to appear out of thin air and drifted throughout the restaurant. The temperature dropped suddenly by more than ten degrees.
The wine and drinks prepared for the guests froze solid in an instant.
Everyone felt a bone-chilling cold. They hugged their arms tightly, rubbing their sleeves as their teeth chattered.
“So cold!”
“What’s going on? Why is it suddenly freezing?”
After advancing to the martial path, ordinary heat and cold no longer affected them.
Everyone who had been invited to the banquet by the Xia and Liu families were prominent figures in Xingyu City, most of them martial artists—some even Martial Masters.
They hadn’t felt cold like this in years, but now it was as if they were going to freeze to death right there.
Strangely, though the snowflakes filled the entire restaurant, they avoided the Xia family entirely.
That terrifying cold didn’t harm them at all.
“She actually came this quickly…”
Yu Siya sighed softly, her voice tinged with helplessness.
“Who?” Xia Feng asked curiously.
Yu Siya extended a pale finger and tapped him on the forehead. Then she wrapped her arms around his and pouted, “You’ll know soon enough. If you had agreed to marry me earlier, the engagement banquet would’ve already been over.”
She was just about to lock down her husband, but now a rival had appeared. Things wouldn’t be so easy from now on.
“Uhh…” Xia Feng scratched his head, unsure what to say.
The softness pressing against his arm was making it hard to think clearly.
“Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden, we’ve apologized and knelt for so long. Could we please leave now?” Get faster updates on g.com.
The Grand Elder of Mist Mountain Sect finally spoke. He could also feel the deadly chill in the air. Whoever was coming—this was not someone to mess with. Staying here felt dangerous.
“Kneel!” Yu Siya said coldly.
She was already frustrated that she hadn’t secured Xia Feng yet, but she couldn’t vent on him, afraid of ruining her image. The Grand Elder of Mist Mountain Sect just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.
“Yes, yes!” The Grand Elder didn’t dare talk back. Even though he felt deeply humiliated and furious, he had no choice but to obey.
Still, he didn’t just sit there. Silently, he crushed a communication jade slip.
He had already sent everything that had happened back to the Mist Mountain Sect, hoping the sect master would find a way to get him out of the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden’s grasp.
“Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden, what does that useless Xia Feng have that makes him worthy of you?!”
Right then, Liu Shiyu finally lost control of her emotions and stood up, shouting.
“Kneel!”
Yu Siya let out a cold snort. Without using any charm techniques, just a wave of her terrifying aura forced Liu Shiyu back to her knees.
Pfft!
A mouthful of blood sprayed from her lips.
Finally, she calmed down, lowered her head, and dared not say another word.
“Shiyu!” Liu Tianxiang and his wife were panicking like ants on a hot pan, but they couldn’t do anything.
Even their strongest backer—the Grand Elder—was kneeling. What could they possibly do?
“Demoness! Let go of my husband.”
A cold voice suddenly echoed through the restaurant.
Everyone, still trembling with their arms crossed, turned toward the sound.
A young girl in a blue short skirt with long blue hair walked in slowly.
She had a round face and large eyes, her beauty tinged with an adorable charm—but her emotionless expression made everyone who saw her feel a chill rise from deep within their bones.
So cold!
This chill was different from ordinary cold. It wasn’t from outside in—it spread from the inside out.
External cold could be warded off with thick clothing. But this inner cold… nothing could stop it.
Looking down at her long, snow-white legs—slim and smooth—every step she took in her heels left a frosty footprint behind.
Husband?
Everyone couldn’t help but glance at Xia Feng.
Another stunning girl throwing herself at him?!
