-Wind City.
Well, perhaps it’s not quite appropriate to call it Wind City anymore. After all, as early as five years ago, Wind City, the eastern outer regions of the Winter Forest, and many nearby cities and tribes had already established a brand new power under the leadership of Marquis Xiumu, with the full support of the Asumos Church.
This is the now-famous Night Wish City on the Ancita Continent.
In the past, monitoring the Abyssal Demons and setting up defenses on the outskirts of the Winter Forest were jointly participated in by various empires.
However, due to the constant infighting between the major powers, the quality of the defenses was not satisfactory.
Six years ago, after the northern defenses were repeatedly breached by the Abyssal Demons, the major powers could no longer tolerate it.
So they agreed to establish this so-called absolutely neutral Night Wish City.
The major powers jointly funded it, with Night Wish City centrally managing and commanding the entire northern defense line.
Facts have proven how "brilliant and mighty" this move was.
After Night Wish City took over the defense line, that long border defense was never breached by the Abyssal Demons again. Every attack by the Abyssal Demons was perfectly ’repelled’. To the point that when people on the continent thought of Night Wish City, they associated it with their impenetrable defenses.
After witnessing the strength of Night Wish City, for their own future safety, to prevent the terrifying Abyssal Demons from appearing before them, various countries and major powers on the continent with a certain amount of financial resources sighed and loosened their purse strings one after another, providing financial support to Night Wish City. They hoped to use their money to buy the other party’s blood, using the existence of Night Wish City to contain the Abyssal Demon hordes and protect the human world from the threat of the Abyssal Demons.
And Night Wish City, which received financial support from nurous forces, did not disappoint the masses of the continent. The northern defense line remained as solid as ever. The existence of the Abyssal Demons seed to be gradually forgotten by the people.
Because of this rit of resisting the Abyssal Demons, Night Wish City gradually gained a lofty reputation on the Continent, and those who worshipped it were countless.
Such a city, upon releasing the news that its young lady was about to get engaged, the people all over the Continent couldn’t help but focus their attention on this major event.
You should know, the daughter of the lord of Night Wish City was in the pri of her youth. Not only was she a peerless beauty, one of the top in the northern lands, she also possessed enviable talents, a true paragon of beauty and ability. At the sa ti, the young lady had no airs of a noble lady at all, treating people gently, pure and kind-hearted, long occupying the top three most popular beautiful girls on the entire continent. The number of noble sons infatuated with her was countless.
The engagent of such a young lady undoubtedly exploded like a nuclear bomb in the public opinion circles of the Ancita Continent, setting off a huge uproar.
And after a brief mont of shock, the reactions of the masses were also quite different.
There was surprise, bewildernt, displeasure, jealousy...
But the vast majority, the first thing they felt was joy, and they sincerely sent their congratulations to that young lady of Night Wish City.
After all, Night Wish City had made unparalleled contributions to the peace of the continent.
Just based on this rit alone, wasn’t the engagent of Night Wish City’s young lady worthy of the masses celebrating and giving their blessings?
Unfortunately, this matter that made the vast majority happy, a certain old nanny begged to differ.
At this mont, in the western part of the Holy Lomari Empire, in the port city of Dotori, a young girl with rainbow-colored hair, wearing a strange and trendy long coat, was standing motionless next to a street newsstand, seemingly engrossed in reading the latest newspaper in her hand. And the front page of this city newspaper was the news about Lord Xiumu inviting distinguished guests from various countries to attend his granddaughter’s engagent banquet.
Staring intently at the words on the newspaper, the girl’s body gradually began to tremble due to her increasingly agitated emotions.
The girl’s pretty face grew more and more gloomy.
Not only that, the surrounding temperature also began to plumt, to the point that the owner inside the newsstand curled up his body, shivering.
After failing to restrain her emotions, the girl couldn’t hold back anymore and violently threw the newspaper on the ground! And stomped on it with her foot!
"Celebrate my ass!!!! Which bastard wrote this newspaper?!!"
?!!
With this exasperated roar, the passersby couldn’t help but focus their gazes on this girl dressed very differently.
Many of their eyes were filled with anger.
The reason was also very simple.
Because the location where the girl was standing happened to be right in front of the building of Dotori City Newspaper’s editorial departnt.
Many employees of the city newspaper were gradually gathering at the entrance due to work.
Feeling the strange and displeased gazes of the people nearby, Kain, who knew he couldn’t attract attention and had to keep a low profile, suddenly changed his expression greatly! He, who was carrying a pile of luggage and panting heavily, didn’t care about his exhausted body and directly burst out with astonishing speed, rushing to the girl’s side! And did the bravest thing he had ever done in his life!
That was to press down on the girl’s head, ’forcing’ her to bow her head in apology.
"S-sorry for disturbing everyone! M-my sister, she, she has so ntal issues! Please, everyone, d-don’t mind..."
In a humble tone, Kain kept pressing down on the girl’s head and frantically nodding and apologizing to the people nearby.
As for Kain’s apology, the crowd quickly accepted it graciously.
After all, this girl who dyed her hair in all sorts of colors and cursed loudly in public clearly had so ntal issues.
And when people no longer paid attention to the girl, Kain didn’t feel any sense of relief. He could only tremblingly move his hand away from his ’sister’s’ head and said with a look of trepidation:
"Uh, um, Sister, y-you don’t mind... I, I just now, had no choice but to offend you."
Avoiding attracting attention was important, but if he offended this living monster because of it, Kain didn’t think he could live to see the sun tomorrow.
But fortunately, after reading the newspaper published by the Dotori Press, his lovely ’sister’ didn’t have ti to pay attention to her stupid ’brother’s’ offensive behavior. Although her head was pressed down and she was ’scolded’, the girl’s gaze was still fixed on the front page of the newspaper, her light blue eyes filled with a chilling murderous aura.
Very obviously, Kain’s ’sister’ was none other than Miss Yumo in disguise. The purpose was to sneak back to the Ancita Continent while keeping a low profile.
As for Yuan’er’s upcoming engagent ntioned by Kain, Yumo didn’t quite believe it at first, thinking he had heard wrong.
But when she returned to the continent and saw the newspapers of the Holy Lomari Empire loudly promoting this matter, Yumo was certain... This wasn’t hearsay, but actually true?!!
"Yuan’er? That, that, that child? Is, is, is getting engaged?!! Is this a mistake?!!"
Thinking of her little daughter, thinking of that little girl who relied on her embrace every day to act spoiled, inexplicably getting married?!!
Yumo’s heart erupted with an uncontrollable rage!
To the point that she montarily forgot about her purpose of concealing her identity, and let out an exasperated roar.
If Kain hadn’t intervened in ti, Yumo’s plan to ’sneak into the village’ would have likely been exposed on the spot.
But even so, Yumo was still pouting, her face filled with ’displeasure’.
"That child, is, is only how old?!! Getting married?!! Is this a mistake! This is illegal, isn’t it?! What is that old Xiumu thinking?! Pipi and Kalina too! Their little sister is only that young?! How could they let her get married? Child marriage is a cri!!"
Hearing Yumo’s grumbling complaints, compared to the increasingly uneasy Kain, the star-eyed girl behind Yumo couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
"Please, Master, has your brain short-circuited again? Miss Yuan’er is getting engaged, not married. Also, Miss Yuan’er’s original body is human. After six years, she’s already sixteen now. According to human customs, especially for major families and nobles, getting engaged at fourteen and married at twenty is very common. Sixteen is already considered an adult, not a child anymore. There’s no issue of child marriage..."
However, before Yue could finish speaking, Yumo forcefully interrupted her:
"I don’t care!!! I don’t care! I just don’t care!! Yuan’er is only sixteen! Not an adult! Although she used to be human, she’s now a Demon! She should be at least one hundred and sixty years old to be considered an adult! Underage! Can’t get married!"
"I said, it’s engagent..."
"I don’t care if it’s engagent or marriage! Neither is allowed!! I won’t allow it!! If I say it’s not allowed, it’s not allowed! Absolutely not allowed!"
