Tang Rao knew this martial arts marriage contest wouldn't be so simple.

"Your Highness King You Lan, I'm not handsome, I have bad breath, and I'm sinister and despicable, I could never be the ideal son-in-law in your heart."

Please spare me!

He was almost kneeling in front of King You Lan.

"Boy, do you think my daughter is worth so little? Dodging left and right, are you courting death!"

King You Lan's temper was so big, he could practically be Chen Tuan's brother.

His intimidating presence was immense; just seeing the waves forming on the pond in front of him would tell you enough about King You Lan's fierceness.

"Please calm down, calm down. Isn't it just marrying You Xiaoxiao? I'll marry her, isn't that fine?"

So ugly, marrying her is like being a widower. When You Xiaoxiao can't stand it anymore and returns home, it won't have anything to do with Tang Rao.

Tang Rao was calculating in his mind, and as King You Lan received the promise of a son-in-law, he began to smile with satisfaction.

"Now that's my good son-in-law. Come, bring Xiao Xiao over, let her see if she's satisfied."

Of course, she's satisfied. I'm so handsome, being paired with your daughter is like a waste, isn't it?

The guard disappeared, while over on You Xiaoxiao's side, she really couldn't bring herself to smile.

"Miss, who would've thought he actually won? I think you two are quite a match. How about spending some time with him and see? If it doesn't work out, just tell His Highness. I don't think he'll make it difficult for you."

Seeing You Xiaoxiao's whole face almost wrinkled like a pickle, Xiao Ju didn't know how to comfort her.

"So what if it's him? At the sight of a woman, he just knows how to run. How much capability could he possibly have?"

As far as You Lan and Xiao Ju were concerned, he was something to look at.

But to You Xiaoxiao, Tang Rao was just a good-for-nothing who only knew how to talk big.

"Miss, His Highness requests your presence at the marriage contest area to meet your future ideal husband."

The guard approached with a smile, but why did the Miss's face not look pleased at all with such joyous news?

"I'm not going. If you want someone to go, let Xiao Ju go. After all, it's an ideal husband selected for her, so you can take her instead."

You Xiaoxiao agreed with King You Lan, planning exactly this.

"Miss, I already have someone in my heart. Miss, you should find an ideal husband for yourself."

Xiao Ju didn't care whether You Xiaoxiao would hit her or not; anyway, at least she tricked her into meeting him. How could Xiao Ju not see through You Xiaoxiao's little tricks?

You Xiaoxiao only wanted to watch the exciting parts of the martial arts marriage contest. Finding an ideal husband was not You Xiaoxiao's ultimate goal.

"Xiao Ju, do I really have to go? But I don't want to have a blind date. I want to find a man I like myself. What if the one Daddy picked isn't as good as the one I choose?"

You Xiaoxiao pouted.

"Miss, His Highness has been waiting for a long time. If you don't go soon, he might get angry."

The guard urged again and again.

To avoid provoking King You Lan's thunderous temper, You Xiaoxiao decided to compromise.

At worst, she could just make things difficult for Tang Rao when the time came, so he would retreat. Let's see if he dares approach her even a step.

"Fine then, this Miss will be right back. Wait for me."

You Xiaoxiao threw a flirtatious wink at Xiao Ju before following the guard away.

Tang Rao had seen a lot of large-scale matchmaking events, but he'd never seen a woman as high-maintenance as You Xiaoxiao.

Ugly people cause the most trouble; the ancient saying of the Blue Star folks was indeed correct.

Tang Rao waited for over ten minutes before You Xiaoxiao slowly approached.

However, the You Xiaoxiao he saw, was she the real one?

Where was that overweight woman in official dress?

This You Xiaoxiao wore no makeup, her delicate face full of emotion.

You Xiaoxiao had never been in contact with men and in her mind, men couldn't possibly accept a woman without makeup.

Anyway, You Xiaoxiao miscalculated, because Tang Rao actually liked women like You Xiaoxiao.

The rumors Tang Rao spread said You Xiaoxiao was a total ugly duckling. Many people started conceding and withdrew from the martial arts marriage contest after seeing the discussions in the Illusion City. But the outcome was that she wasn't ugly at all.

She was like a little sprite.

"Xiao Xiao, this is Tang Rao, your future ideal husband. Hurry up and greet him."

King You Lan was as happy to see You Xiaoxiao as if meeting a lover from a past life.

Those peach blossom eyes couldn't tear away from You Xiaoxiao, having thought of many ways to have more presence before her.

"This is my ideal husband? Daddy, when did your taste get so poor? Shall we have Uncle Zhou check if everything's alright with you?"

You Xiaoxiao's words were sharp, sparing no one, not even King You Lan.

"A Little Princess living in King You Lan's underground palace, who wears maid clothes all the time—her aesthetics can't possibly be that high. You reject me, and I reject you, Your Highness King You Lan, I want to annul the marriage!"

Tang Rao originally had a bit of interest in You Xiaoxiao, but seeing she wasn't as smart as Jinxiu, not as strong as Hong Xiu, nor as gentle as Sheng Xuan, and so aggressive, he surely had no wish to marry her.

"What? You dare say you reject me? Daddy, look at how badly mannered this person is. Look at the sort of people you're finding for me. I won't accept it."

You Xiaoxiao's eyes filled with tears as she began to cry.

No one had ever openly rejected You Xiaoxiao to her face. How dare this man criticize her in front of everyone?

"What's your problem? I'm just helping someone with a matchmaking, it's your daddy who insisted I marry you. I agreed to marry you, but you have so many complaints. Then convince your daddy not to let me marry you, and I'll leave right away."

Tang Rao had his own principles. If he seriously married this little ancestor You Xiaoxiao, Tang Rao would never hear the end of it.

"Enough, the martial arts marriage contest has been publicly announced, and the result can't be changed. I even swore an oath before the Heavenly Dao!"

For something as trivial as a martial arts marriage contest, he swore an oath. Wasn't that excessive?

It seemed that if Tang Rao didn't marry You Xiaoxiao, King You Lan would really become enemies with Tang Rao.

"Daddy, is there no other possibility?"

"None."

"King You Lan, can I not marry You Xiaoxiao?"

"No."

Tang Rao and You Xiaoxiao both hung their heads.

"You Xiaoxiao, have you thought it through? If you dare agree to marry me, I'll make your life unbearable."

Tang Rao summoned the courage to look at You Xiaoxiao.

You Xiaoxiao had no choice but to marry Tang Rao due to King You Lan's oath before the Heavenly Dao.

"The one who'll have a hard time is you."

You Xiaoxiao pouted.

The future is long, she wouldn't easily compromise in front of Tang Rao.

Seeing that the two had no objections, King You Lan stood up and applauded, saying: If you knew you had to compromise, why waste so many words? Come, bring out my daughter's dowry for my good son-in-law."

Seeing the two reached a consensus so quickly, King You Lan immediately ordered servants to bring out the already-prepared dowry.

To avoid showing off, he packed everything into the Space Ring and handed it along with a dowry list into Lu Ziqian's hands.
