Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort novel Chapter 719

Chapter 719: Chapter 154: The Ji Family Head’s Dilemma (2 Updates)

In Wankai City, it seemed like the entire populace had flooded out of their homes, crowding the streets and alleyways.

Ji Pianpian’s marriage competition platform was set up in front of the city’s central altar, as if invoking the protection of the heavens and the blessings of the ancestors.

"My old man, for this marriage competition, sent out notices to every state over three months ago. And that’s not all; he also posted notices among the tribe of Floating Guests to ensure that every city saw news of Pianpian’s competition," Ji Yaohua lamented to Mu Qingge and Ying Ze, who were accompanying him.

"How is this competition supposed to work?" Mu Qingge asked.

Ji Yaohua explained, "Originally, the old man’s idea was to have three rounds. The first round is a martial arts test, where anyone who defeats Pianpian can advance. The second round is a test of wit and strategy. The third round is a meeting where Pianpian will choose her ideal husband from the finalists."

Mu Qingge nodded, "It’s quite a rigorous process with high standards."

"The old man said that Ji family’s son-in-law doesn’t need to have a noble birth. Anyone who feels competent, as long as their age and character meet the requirements, can participate. That’s why so many people have shown up," Ji Yaohua grumbled.

His dissatisfaction wasn’t with his father’s lack of birth requirements for his future brother-in-law but rather with how eager his father seemed to marry off his sister.

After venting, Ji Yaohua sneaked a glance at Ying Ze, finding him still indifferent as if he didn’t care. So he snuck a look at Mu Qingge and coughed lightly to hint.

Mu Qingge caught his signal and asked, "To pass the first round, one needs to defeat Miss Ji. What level is her cultivation currently?"

"Although Pianpian stays at home in the Ji family and rarely goes out, she hasn’t wasted her time. At such a young age, she’s already at the Silver Realm First Layer. If she were to venture outside, she’d certainly be on the Green Talent List." Ji Yaohua explained while sneaking peeks at Ying Ze.

Unfortunately, Ying Ze remained unmoved, seemingly uninterested.

This left Ji Yaohua quite discouraged.

"Silver Realm First Layer? So to defeat Miss Ji, one has to be at least Silver Realm First Layer!" Mu Qingge continued to engage the conversation.

Ji Yaohua nodded, "Exactly! Imagine, throughout the entire Middle Ancient Realm, most people above Silver Realm First Layer are already quite advanced in age. If a man older than me calls me ’brother-in-law,’ wouldn’t that be awkward? Pianpian would be at a disadvantage too."

"You’ve been hinting at it for a while, what exactly do you want us to do?" Suddenly, Ying Ze stopped and asked Ji Yaohua.

Ji Yaohua’s face lit up as he replied, "What I mean is, there’s no need for three rounds in this competition. In the first round, just go out there and beat all the contestants away."

Ying Ze looked at him coldly and asked, "And then what?"

"Then what?" Ji Yaohua’s eyes darted as he quickly responded, "I’ll go talk to the old man, saying these contenders don’t suffice. This couldn’t be rushed. We should wait until more young talents from Middle Ancient Realm gather before holding it again."

Ying Ze frowned, seemingly contemplating the truth in his words.

After a moment, he asked, "Then why don’t you go up yourself?"

Ji Yaohua righteously said, "If I went up myself and chased everyone away, it would make people suspect that the Ji family is deliberately toying with the world’s heroes. That’s inappropriate!"

His words did seem to make sense upon consideration.

Ying Ze pursed his lips and remained silent as he continued walking forward.

Ji Yaohua took the opportunity to pull Mu Qingge aside and whispered in her ear, "Later, let him go up. You don’t."

Mu Qingge’s lip twitched, and she nodded. She didn’t want to get involved in the mess either.

Seeing everything was arranged, Ji Yaohua strode forward energetically.

...

At the platform, Ji Pianpian had already changed into her battle armor and was standing on the stage. Today, compared to her demure lady-like demeanour yesterday, she appeared more valiant and heroic, with a sharp glint in her eyes. Only when her gaze swept over Ying Ze and Mu Qingge did she offer a polite smile.

Mu Qingge said softly beside Ying Ze, "Miss Ji doesn’t show this heroic side easily."

Ying Ze remained silent, his thoughts inscrutable.

During Ji Pianpian’s marriage competition, the person hosting wasn’t the Ji Family Head but a Ji Family Elder. However, before he could get onto the platform, Ji Yaohua had already pulled him aside and leapt up there himself, standing beside Ji Pianpian.

"Hey, that’s the Ji Young Master, isn’t it?"

"Indeed, second on the Green Talent List!"

"Truly a young talent. If someone were fortunate enough to marry into the Ji family, then the second on the Green Talent List would be their older brother-in-law?"

"But that depends on whether you’re lucky enough to marry her!"

"Miss Ji is graceful and elegant, with charm beneath her heroic appearance, not to mention her impeccable figure. Whoever marries her will truly be fortunate!"

"Exactly! Initially, when I heard about the Ji family’s search for a son-in-law, I thought Miss Ji must not have an attractive appearance that forced this competition. Seeing her today, I realize how utterly wrong I was!"

The murmurs around reached Mu Qingge and Ying Ze’s ears.

Meanwhile, Ji Yaohua spoke loudly, "Everybody, you probably know who I am. Today is my sister’s grand marriage competition day, and as her brother, I naturally have to oversee things well. Don’t you think so?"

"Yes!"
