Chapter 105: I Don’t Mind if You Pledge to Marry Me

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Brother, this is a personal matter of Purple Sun Sect, please do not interfere.”

In the face of Happy, who decided to interfere at a critical moment, the expressions of the man with the fan and his group instantly turned incredibly sour. Happy’s act of butting in during such an important situation without bothering about their emotions made their imaginations run wild. The tone of the man with the fan turned cold. His gaze sparkled as his emotions fluctuated.

“I don’t care about your personal matters, I just want to make a deal with the lady over there. It has nothing to do with you.” Happy moved toward the seven men from the corner at a moderate pace. Then, he walked past Phantom Jade, as if the man did not exist.

Phantom Jade did not dare create any misunderstanding. He froze while groaning in his heart.

The thing he was most worried about had happened in the end. Once this mysterious, young, and powerful player who came from unknown origins decided to interfere, he did not know how the situation would develop.

He began to guess darkly in his heart.

‘Do these two actually know each other? Or are we seriously going about the cliche storyline of a hero saving a damsel in distress?’

He had to admit, no matter which one it was, it was not good news to them.

At that moment, Red Coral saw Happy’s face clearly, and a dazed look flashed briefly in her eyes!

Happy was dressed like a hunter in the mountains. He looked extremely uncouth and inconspicuous, yet this young man who looked like a teenager at the cusp of adulthood, gave off a hint of the relaxed and elegant air only mature men would have when he strolled over. His relaxed expression and calm demeanor made others feel at ease, because he left them the impression that he was incredibly safe and confident.

What made Red Coral even more curious was that when Happy joined the fray, the man with the fan and his group looked as if they were up against a great enemy. Even the way they spoke became very strange.

The change in events made Red Coral ignore the way the young man had addressed her.

“Well?”

When he arrived in front of Red Coral, Happy came to a stop. He cast Phantom Jade an indifferent glance before he looked at the injured woman. As he admired her beauty, his lips curled up into a pleasant smile. “Are you interested in the deal I mentioned, miss?”

Red Coral did not say anything. She blinked her bright and big eyes, looked at the young and handsome boy walking toward her, then at the man with the fan and his group, who surrounded them.

“Of course! As long as you can protect my life, the jade slit ring is yours.”

For some reason, even if they were surrounded by enemies, Happy’s attitude of there being no one around him affected her, and most of Red Coral’s nervousness disappeared. Her head also became much clearer. A cunning light shone in her eyes.

But a pity for her, Happy was not a young and naive teenager who was completely inexperienced in the workings of society. When he heard her words, he shook his head.

“No, no, no. The deal I mentioned is not this.”

“Hmm?” Red Coral’s smile did not vanish. She put on an act as if she did not understand it. “You don’t want the jade slit ring? Could it be that you want me to pledge myself to you in marriage?”

“I obviously want the jade slit ring. As for pledging yourself to me in marriage? I don’t mind it if it’s an additional reward.”

Happy’s amused tone enraged the seven men in the area. ‘This brat doesn’t think of us as anything, huh? How dare he treat us as if we don’t exist?! He’s even flirting with the woman we’re about to kill right in front of our eyes!’

“Hmph, none of you men are good. You’re the same as them, even though you’re still so young.” Red Coral turned her head to the side, as if she was just arguing with her lover. It made her look incredibly charming. Then, she asked with a huff, “What exactly do you want?”

Happy smiled and swept his gaze over the seven people before he answered, “Give me the jade slit ring, and I’ll kill them for you.”

He said it in such a relaxed and casual tone that it sounded like he was just commenting about the weather.

His words made the seven people erupt in anger. “You impertinent brat!”

The eyes of the man with the fan grew sharp. He closed his paper fan and tightened his grip around it. His expression was so dark that it looked as if he could turn milk sour with just his face.

“Very well! I wanted to get rid of you after we killed the woman, but by the looks of it now... Hmph, you seemed intent on going against Purple Sun Sect. Very well. Very well!”

The man with the fan paused for a moment before his expression turned cold. He tossed away the paper fan, slapped his waist, and a black, metallic longspear landed on his palm from the Universe Bag. “I, Young White Dragon, would like to see just how good you are!”

The others activated their qi realms as well!

The seven people had an imposing momentum, and their expressions were murderous. Their weapons were pointed at Happy and Red Coral.

Happy looked around, but he was completely unconcerned by what he saw. He cast his gaze on Red Coral again, whose expression was grave. He extended his hand to her and spoke in a cold tone.

“If you want the deal, give me the jade slit ring, and I’ll kill them for you. If not, treat it as if I’ve never existed. Once they kill you, I’ll kill them, and I’ll take the item from them. You don’t have a choice.”

His final sentence was spoken without mincing words, causing Red Coral’s expression to turn red before her face went pale, because she had wanted to scheme against Happy.

“Hmph, here you go!”

She placed the jade slit ring in Happy’s palm in an impressive manner. She did not say anything else, as if she had accepted her fate.

Happy took the jade slit ring and looked at it closely before he put it into his bag.

“Hmph, I’ve recorded all of your words. If you don’t kill them, then it means that you broke your promise. At that time, you will either give me back the ring, or I will upload the video of you not keeping your promise online. Ha!”

As expected, Red Coral was not a person who was easy to deal with. Even if she was in a desperate situation, she still acted tough and threatened Happy.

“Stop talking big.” The longspear stopped in the air, and the man with the fan spoke coldly. “My men have already come in. Now, I’d like to see whether a powerful player who is of equal status to Xiao Shan and North Placating Duke will appear in this game!”

Red Coral’s expression changed. Then, she noticed two more people run in from outside the main hall to join the encirclement. They were the two Blessed Realm players who had been left behind to guard the entrance of the ancient tomb.

The man with the fan had a group of nine Blessed Realm players serving as his lineup.

Happy was only one man. Red Coral was his sole assistant, but she was injured heavily. Her combat ability was very limited!

“You still have room for regret. Hand over the jade slit ring, and you can leave now.”

When Phantom Jade suddenly spoke, his gaze was fixed on Happy, as if he was trying to give a word of warning to him.

Happy cast an indifferent glance at Phantom Jade with derision on his face. He spoke slowly under the dark gazes of the ten men, “You just have an additional two people coming over to die.”

“Kill!”

The man with the fan roared and spun the black metallic longspear. His qi surged out of his body and into the spear, and he thrust it forward at the speed of lightning.

The man with the fan might have usually acted like a scholar who considered himself to be distinguished and admirable, but he was second only to Phantom Jade in their group. When he attacked, he executed a fatal secret technique, and the momentum of that attack was like a bolt of lightning!

The other eight people attacked at the same time!

In an instant, the main hall looked as if a thunderstorm had come there.

Whoosh!

Happy tapped against the ground and leapt into the air.

“Get down!”

The two people who joined later clearly did not know about Happy’s abilities. When they saw him jump toward them, they jumped into the air together in a show of great cooperation. One of them held a saber, and the other an axe. They swung their weapons at Happy.

Whoosh!

A cold glare shone. One of them discovered, to his surprise, a fierce light charging at his chest the moment he jumped up. It was as swift as lightning, and he did not have time to react to the situation. Shock immediately appeared on his face.

Thud!

The person’s body froze in the air. Pain instantly neutralized his strength. He howled in pain before he crashed to the ground, as if he had been cut in half.

The other person was not in a better condition. He might also use a saber, but Happy used the high-tier martial art Flowering Knights’ Song, and it was clearly much better than whatever that person used. Their sabers crossed, and the person was cut so deeply that he flew backwards with his saber. Blood gushed into the air. When he landed on the ground, he tried to struggle to his feet, but he never got up even after a long time had passed.

In the first round, one person died and another was heavily wounded. Red Coral watched it with her eyes sparkling. She could not help gasping in admiration.
