The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler



On this day, the sky was clear.

In front of the Fantasy Divine Hall, there were many people, and it was very lively.

Quite a few youngsters had faces filled with excitement and expectations as they looked at the young girl standing at the head of the table in admiration.

Her red-golden dress outlined her exquisite lines and sparkled under the sun. The irregular skirt dropped down her slender and fair calves. When the wind blew, she looked especially charming.

Her skin was smooth, and her five features were exquisite. The most eye-catching thing was that pair of black grape-like eyes that were extremely clear and bright.

When she blinked lightly, her thick lashes swept across their hearts like a small brush.

Without asking, everyone knew that this was today's main character—Goddess Yue's legendary fiend and the red-gold heavenly phoenix clan's young mistress, Yi Tuan.

She stood there cutely with a smile on her face. A small dimple appeared on her face, which was even more dazzling than the sunlight.

Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu sat beside each other. Behind, the deities, the Left and Right Divine Generals, and the others had also come.

The meaning of backing her up was self-evident.

Seeing this formation, anyone could tell how highly Goddess Yue thought of Tuan Zi. It was precisely because of this that many people became even more nervous, afraid that they wouldn't perform well and anger the people above.

The rules were very simple. After Cen Yi briefly explained them, the competition began.

As there were too many people signing up, even the competition venue was temporarily split into two parts and screened at the same time.

The people in the arenas quickly fought to a stalemate.

Yi Fu and the others were also watching from below.

A young girl from the clan lowered her voice, but she still couldn't conceal her excitement. "Yi Fu, these people want to marry Tuan Zi, right? There are really so many people!"

Yi Fu smiled and nodded.

No matter how one looked at it, Tuan Zi was definitely in high demand. It was reasonable to attract so many people.

"Yi Ming also went. I think there might be hope!" teaseed that young girl as she smiled.

Everyone in the clan knew his thoughts, and most of them thought very highly of him.

Yi Fu asked, "Why are you so sure? Although Yi Ming is powerful, he's not considered the top here."

That young girl chuckled. "So what? He can definitely enter the top ten! At that time, can Tuan Zi still choose anyone else?"

In their opinion, no matter if it were his identity as her clansman or his unconcealed sincerity, Yi Ming was definitely Tuan Zi's best choice.

Every time she was with Yi Ming, she was also very happy, right?

Wasn't this a sure win?

Yi Fu didn't speak as her gaze landed on the person above.

Zi Chen sat not far away from Goddess Yue, next to Tuan Zi.

He sat there quietly, his expression as nonchalant and calm as usual. The battle below was in full swing, but he didn't seem to care at all.

Yi Fu frowned. I really don't know what Zi Chen did to cause Goddess Yue to set up such a marriage recruitment for Tuan Zi. Does he not want to fight anymore?

…

"Tuan Zi, it's the same if you sit down and watch." Looking at the figure that kept shaking in front of her, Chu Liuyue finally spoke.

Tuan Zi turned around and looked at her.

She really wanted to sit too, but Zi Chen was beside her!

After that night, this was the first time she had seen him. In the end, it was this scene…

Although Zi Chen didn't say anything and looked no different from before, she still felt that something was wrong.

Actually, she wasn't very interested in this marriage recruitment… She wanted to leave.

As if detecting her thoughts, Chu Liuyue raised her brows and glanced at her.

Tuan Zi pouted and finally sat down with much difficulty.

Her entire body leaned toward Chu Liuyue's side, almost as if she hoped that she would be separated from the right.

Zi Chen glanced at her. "Sit properly."

Tuan Zi murmured, "Oh."

She forcefully moved her stiff limbs and sat properly.

After a while, she finally couldn't help but secretly look over.

Zi Chen was originally looking toward the stands, but at this moment, he seemed to have sensed something and turned to look.

Caught off-guard, their eyes met.

His eyes were pitch black, and only the deepest part seemed to be suffused with a hint of purplish-golden.

It was as if a secret wave was surging, and it seemingly wanted to overturn everything.

Tuan Zi was stunned, and her heart trembled for some reason.

However, such an expression only flashed across his eyes for a moment. In the blink of an eye, he had already calmed down and retracted his gaze.

It was as if… everything was just her illusion.

For some reason, she felt guilty and felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. But Zi Chen didn't say anything.

She suddenly thought of something. After hesitating for a long time, she leaned forward and softly asked, "Zi Chen, you… you…"

She wanted to ask him if he would participate, but the words were stuck in her throat.

Zi Chen looked over with a questioning expression.

Tuan Zi scratched her head and dejectedly leaned against the chair.

She couldn't bring herself to ask. If he really had the heart, why would I need to ask? If he doesn't… Could I force him to participate? Also, many things seem different after that kiss.

Thinking of that day, the tips of her ears burned again.

However, the person beside her didn't move at all, as if he wanted to just watch from the side, which made her heart ache.

She threw a tantrum at a certain someone, puffing up her cheeks and not speaking.

…

Time slowly trickled past, and the competition became increasingly intense.

Perhaps it was because Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu were holding down and presiding over the scene, but those with ordinary conditions didn't dare to join in the fun. Hence, after a few rounds of selection, the remaining ones were indeed not bad.

No matter if it were their looks or capabilities, they were quite outstanding. Some of them were especially outstanding, and Yi Ming was one of them.

Many people had already started to secretly discuss who had the most hope of being liked by Tuan Zi.

Tuan Zi's thoughts were wandering, and she didn't look at them carefully. However, she still watched the competition very seriously, as if she was really choosing seriously.

When this burning gaze landed in the eyes of the youngsters in the arena, they felt even more encouraged and energized. They wished they could show off their most handsome and powerful appearance.

"Which one do you like?" A low and cold voice suddenly sounded beside her ear.

Tuan Zi was shocked and realized that the person asking was Zi Chen.

He leaned against the chair and supported himself with one hand in a lazy posture. He didn't look at her, as if he were casually asking.

Tuan Zi hesitated for a moment.

At this point, there were only 20 people left in the arena. After this round ended, the ten people who won would enter the final selection.

Is he… asking me to choose? Tuan Zi knitted her brows.

"They're all ok…"

In her eyes, it was no different.

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that Zi Chen's aura became colder.

She glanced at him, still waiting for him to reply, but he didn't say a word.

Very quickly, the last ten people were all chosen. Yi Ming was among them.

Apart from him, the remaining few were actually not bad.

At this moment, their gazes landed on Tuan Zi with unconcealable admiration and nervousness.

"Tuan Zi, take a closer look. Did you choose anyone?" asked Chu Liuyue.

Everyone's gazes gathered on Tuan Zi.

She blinked, but her throat seemed to be blocked.

"I…" She spat out a word with much difficulty.

Before she could finish her sentence, the person beside her suddenly stood up. "Since you can't choose, why don't I help you choose first?"

Once this voice sounded, it instantly caused the crowd to be stunned.

Countless people looked over in unison. Looking at the tall and burly man in black with a cold aura around him, they were confused. W-what's going on?

But very quickly, someone reacted. "That's Zi Chen. He actually wants to help Tuan Zi choose?"

"These two are Goddess Yue's legendary fiends. They seem to have a good relationship. I heard that Zi Chen has always taken good care of Tuan Zi, so it's normal for him to help her check on them at this time."

"That's true… But why do I feel that it's… difficult to pass his standards?"

"Tuan Zi didn't object either—Zi Chen has already competed!"

That's right.

When Zi Chen asked that question, he had already gone into the arena without waiting for Tuan Zi's answer.

Tuan Zi opened her mouth. Seeing that things had already come to this, she could only nod and reply meaninglessly, "…Okay."

Zi Chen walked slowly and finally stood still.

The youngsters present became nervous at the same time. There was no choice—the man's aura was too strong!

Just by standing there, he was almost suffocating.

Yi Ming felt a little uneasy. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he stood up first. "Yi Ming requests to battle! Senior Zi Chen, I hope you won't hesitate to enlighten me!"

He emphasized the word 'senior.'

Zi Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him. "OK."

His acquiescence was light, and the crowd was stunned for a moment.

A young man at the side immediately said, "Then, let's retreat for the time being and empty the space…"

"There's no need." Zi Chen spoke lightly. Then, he raised his palm slightly.

At this moment, an alarm rang in Yi Ming!

He retreated without hesitation, wanting to avoid it! But the moment he took a step, his body uncontrollably froze on the spot, and he couldn't move anymore!

An incomparably powerful pressure suddenly descended, almost making people despair. They could no longer say that they were lucky enough to escape!

The next moment, a purplish-golden light flashed in Zi Chen's palm!

Yi Ming's body instantly flew backward!

Bam!

He landed heavily on the ground, and his body trembled. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale.

Zi Chen glanced at him lightly, his tone nonchalant. "You're out. Next."

…

In the next 15 minutes, the crowd heard this sentence a total of eight times.

Everything happened too quickly. Before anyone could react, they saw that the competition had already ended.

The few youngsters who were still filled with high spirits and hope just now had no combat strength in front of Zi Chen. They were all eliminated! Moreover, it was all with one move!

Zi Chen seemed to be unwilling to waste too much time on this, so he didn't hold back.

Apart from others, no one knew that the current him had already become so powerful!

Those people were outstanding, but they were completely inferior to him. Hence, when they came back to their senses, there was only one young man left in the arena.

Zi Chen raised his eyes slightly.

That young man's face instantly turned pale, and his strong desire to live made him blurt out, "I surrender! I give up!"

Without waiting for Zi Chen to reply, he decisively jumped off the arena, almost rolling and crawling away as he disappeared into the crowd.

What's so important about marrying a wife? My life is more important!

Zi Chen nodded slightly and revealed a rare look of satisfaction at this young man's understanding.

He flicked his clothes and turned around. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked at Tuan Zi.ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

"Choose," he said.

…

Dead silence.

The crowd watched this scene with their mouths agape.

At this moment, the ten youngsters in the arena had already been beaten down by Zi Chen, leaving him alone in the huge arena.

What did he say? Choose?

Nobody is left. What's there to choose?!

Xiao Ba couldn't help but grind her teeth and roll her eyes. "Pfft! How shameless!"

Shi Fang and the others also nodded with complicated gazes. "I've never seen such a shameless person."

Originally, they thought that he was cold-hearted and emotionless, but who knew—

Jian Fengchi sighed and glanced at Mu Hongyu at the side. "If I had his guts…"

Wouldn't she have long been mine?!

Tuan Zi was also dazed. "Choose… which one?"

I don't think I have a choice! Those who fell off the arena aren't even qualified. He really didn't leave any for me!

Once she said this, she was suddenly stunned.

Meeting that person's gaze, she suddenly realized something, and her heart beat rapidly.

The surrounding crowd gradually sensed that something was amiss and fell silent. Suspicious and inquisitive gazes swept between the two of them.

This…

Upon hearing this, Zi Chen only raised his brows. "Anyway, you must choose today."

All the options had been eliminated by him. If she had to choose, she could only choose him.

Tuan Zi curled her fingers and asked softly, "But… didn't you say that you already have someone you like?"

Zi Chen nodded his head, and an extremely faint smile appeared on his lips. "What a coincidence. That person is you."
