Chapter 14

"Can you even imagine the beauty? Although I can't marry her now, I absolutely won't let her fall into the hands of a beast like you. You are now a college student and a lay disciple of Xian Yun, yet you still think about chasing girls every day. Do you feel worthy of your master's expectations? Do you feel worthy of my cultivation of you? Do you feel worthy of your own family...?" As Zhan Yi saw Dong Dabao's eyes gleaming like a wolf's, he rejected him without hesitation and began a relentless lecture to correct his attitude.

"Damn, boss, how can you be like this? I'm thinking for you, aren't I? Are we going to just watch such a beautiful girl get taken by someone else? Don't you want the Five-Element Grass anymore?" Dong Dabao felt a pang of pain from Zhan Yi's words and became even more suspicious that Zhan Yi might like men.

"How can I let you sacrifice yourself? Don't worry, I will definitely get the Five-Element Grass. But I can think of a way to escape after winning the championship. This way, it won't affect her daughter finding a husband, and we can accomplish our goal. It's a win-win situation." Zhan Yi thought for a moment and said with a righteous tone.

"Uh... Boss, can you tell me your sexual orientation? Are you sure you like women?" After hearing Zhan Yi's words, Dong Dabao thought for a long time and finally asked the question that had been on his mind. To him, it was easier to believe that a man had a crush on another man than to believe he was a gentleman.

"Damn... Don't measure my uniqueness with your despicable character. I can clearly tell you that my sexual orientation is absolutely normal." Zhan Yi was taken aback by Dong Dabao's words but quickly understood what was going on and couldn't help but give him the middle finger.

"Ha ha, boss, it's a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding. I was just asking casually. We'll do it your way. We'll win the championship and then find a way to escape. I'll go brush my teeth and wash my feet now." Seeing Zhan Yi's expression as if he was about to strangle him, Dong Dabao couldn't help but laugh awkwardly and quickly left the room.

The next morning, Zhan Yi and Dong Dabao rushed to the Moer Clan Square in Moer Town. According to Dong Dabao, today was the start of the marriage contest, and they needed to gather information and prepare thoroughly.

The Moer Clan Square was like a leisure square in a city, but since it was the Moer Clan, it had other meanings. Besides being a place for the Moer people to relax, it was also where major events like sacrifices and festivals were held.

Therefore, the square was as spacious as a regular leisure square in a city, and there were some thick stone pillars around it, carved with reliefs. At the end of the square was a huge platform with a massive statue of a barbarian, over ten meters tall, holding a thick war club. A majestic eagle perched on the barbarian's shoulder, making the whole scene look extremely grand and imposing.

Zhan Yi was puzzled and asked Dong Dabao, who then explained that the barbarian was the ancestor of the Moer Clan, Moer, and the eagle was the totem they worshipped. Zhan Yi didn't say much more, but he felt that there was some special connection between the stone pillars and the statues, and the entire square seemed extraordinary, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

However, what troubled him was the sheer number of people on the square, like a bustling market in the countryside. Dong Dabao, on the other hand, seemed particularly excited, which Zhan Yi couldn't understand: "Dabao, there are too many people here. They can't all be here for the marriage contest, right?"

"Ha ha, boss, of course not. Didn't you see all the women? Some of them are old and gray. Even if they participated, they would probably lose their sexual ability by then." Dong Dabao looked into the distance and said nonchalantly.

"Damn, what are you looking at? Think of a way for us to participate in the marriage contest." Zhan Yi saw him still looking at the distant platform and couldn't help but feel frustrated.

"Boss, don't be noisy. The Moer Clan's first beauty, Mai, will appear soon. Let's see what happens first." Dong Dabao glanced at Zhan Yi and said.

Zhan Yi realized he was being too hasty. The contest hadn't even started, and they didn't know how it would be conducted. There was no point in rushing in, so he joined Dong Dabao in looking at the platform in the middle of the square.

A large stage was set up on the platform, and people were continuously walking up, but they were all older. Once they reached the stage, they sat behind the tables, looking like leaders on a podium.

After everyone was seated, a middle-aged man in the center finally adjusted the microphone and began speaking: "Hello everyone, I'm sure you all know that today we are holding a marriage contest, and the one to be married is the Moer Clan's first beauty, Mai. As the current chief of the Moer Clan and Mai's father, I welcome all of you here..."

The next ten minutes of speech were mostly empty words, praising the Moer Clan's etiquette and hospitality, and how much he valued his daughter. Zhan Yi almost fell asleep, but he was relieved that the chief spoke Mandarin, or he would have been even more frustrated.

After observing the chief, Zhan Yi had even less hope for the so-called first beauty of the Moer Clan. The chief had a large nose, large mouth, large eyes, large head, large height, large face, and a large chin, with a mouth full of large teeth. If he were magnified several times, he would look just like the barbarian statue nearby. It was hard to imagine what good genes could come from such a person.

After about ten minutes, the chief finally said, "That's all I have to say today. Next, our elder will explain the rules of the marriage contest."

This statement even made Dong Dabao angry, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn, is this a marriage contest or a seminar?"

Despite his anger, they had to continue listening. Fortunately, the elder who spoke next noticed the audience's impatience and quickly got to the point, explaining the rules of the contest, which made people pay attention.

After his explanation, Zhan Yi and Dong Dabao finally understood how the marriage contest would proceed. First, participants must be between twenty and thirty years old and over 1.7 meters tall, with no restrictions on ethnicity or region.

However, participants must be able to lift a 200-pound stone lock on the stage for more than five minutes and answer some basic knowledge questions to qualify.

Then, those who meet the conditions will compete in martial arts, and the champion will answer questions posed by Mai until she is satisfied, thus becoming the successful contestant.

After explaining the rules, the elder added, "Next, another elder will explain the other rules of the competition." This statement made many in the audience raise their middle fingers and curse.

The next elder seemed to interpret the audience's reaction as enthusiasm and began a long speech, greeting everyone and waving his hand like a celebrity, earning endless disdain from the crowd.

After another long speech, which was mostly about taking responsibility for injuries during the competition and maintaining harmony, he finally said something useful after about ten minutes: "Next, please welcome the Moer Clan's first beauty, Miss Mai, to the stage."

This statement made everyone in the audience perk up. As a group of people escorted Mai to the stage, the crowd erupted. Even Zhan Yi's eyes widened, for the woman was incredibly beautiful. She had a black silk strand on her forehead, arched eyebrows, eyes like stars and the moon, a delicate nose, rosy cheeks, and a cherry mouth, truly a beauty that could topple a kingdom.

Her figure was also extremely alluring, especially her high, full chest that seemed to strain against her clothes. However, her demeanor was cold and noble, like a fairy from the moon palace.

After standing still, she smiled slightly at the excited crowd and said softly, "Thank you all for coming to my marriage contest. Besides requiring a capable husband, Mai has another requirement: he must be upright, for only such a person can shoulder the responsibility of being the future chief of the Moer Clan and is worthy of our clan's treasure."

Her voice was calm and beautiful, making the crowd even more excited, waving their arms and cheering as if Mai's husband was one of them.

Only Zhan Yi, after hearing Mai's words, became even more determined to take the Five-Element Grass and run. It wasn't that he didn't find Mai attractive, but she clearly wanted to choose the future chief of the Moer Clan, and he had no intention of staying here to be that person. So, he was definitely going to run.

After Mai finished speaking, she walked off the stage, but her father quickly picked up the microphone, looking very pleased with the excited crowd: "Everyone, please be quiet. You've all heard what Mai said. Remember, if you don't have good character, don't embarrass yourself. Even if you win the championship, my daughter won't look at you. Ha ha, now I announce the start of the marriage contest registration. Music." He snapped his fingers, and the crowd seemed to be watching a bear dance.
