Best Young Master

Chapter 1929: Chapter 1794: Taking a Concubine

In the dead of night, all is silent, with specks of starlight adorning the deep blue sky, appearing extraordinarily beautiful.

A room in Ziyi Square emits a glimmer of light, and whispers can be heard from within.

Before long, the voices grow increasingly intense, as if the two people conversing were at odds, leading to a quarrel.

"No matter what, I don’t agree with this matter, Third Uncle. You love me the most; how could you bear to push me into the firepit?" Zi Huan’s face is pale, her eyes seemingly misty with moisture, yet her expression is extremely resolute.

"Huan’er!"

Zi Xiaoyi, with increased intensity, says in a low and raspy voice, "Don’t you understand? Our Purple Demon Family is now merely a name. The Ancient Demon King’s words are very clear. If Ye Fan performs excellently in the selection competition, he may still consider our family’s contribution and potential and support us; otherwise, our Purple Demon Family will truly become history!"

"Do you think I want you to marry Xingtian’s son? Uncle is helpless too! Ye Fan is indeed very strong, his potential is also astonishing, but he is not of our family’s direct lineage. We can’t put all our hope on him."

"Think about it, the Xing Family is ranked third among the Ten Great Families in the Demon World, whether in strength or power, they are extremely formidable, with astonishing energy. If we could get their help, the resurgence of our Purple Demon Family would be just around the corner!"

"Third Uncle, don’t say more, there is no negotiating this matter, I absolutely disagree. I believe Brother Ye will definitely make it into the top ten, maybe even win the championship. The strongest heirs of the Ten Great Families are nothing more than famous in name; they are absolutely no match for Brother Ye." Zi Huan’s attitude is very resolute, filled with absolute confidence in Ye Fan.

Zi Xiaoyi’s face turns somewhat ugly.

Zi Huan notices, and her voice softens, yet her expression becomes even more steadfast, "Third Uncle, I know you are thinking for the family, hoping for more security, to avenge the clan, and revitalize the Purple Demon Family. But I hold my own fate, and I will absolutely not sacrifice my personal happiness for the family’s benefit."

"You..."

Zi Xiaoyi trembles all over with anger, stammering, "I really don’t understand, what is so good about that Ye Fan? How could he enchant you like this? You must know, Xingtian is the Xing Family’s strongest heir, with strength and potential superior to Ye Fan. He is destined to be taken to the Upper Realm. If he takes a liking to you, it’s your blessing! When he becomes strong in the future and even takes over the Xing Family, both you and the Purple Demon Family will reap unimaginable benefits!"

"Moreover, don’t forget, you are a member of the Purple Demon Family. When the family requires your sacrifice, you must make that sacrifice!!"

"I’m sorry, Third Uncle, forgive Zi Huan for finding it difficult to comply! If you have nothing else, Zi Huan bids farewell!"

With those words, Zi Huan turns and leaves the room, leaving Zi Xiaoyi standing there bewildered.

"Sigh..."

After a long time, Zi Xiaoyi lets out a long sigh, like being drained, collapsing into the seat behind him.

"Have I really done wrong?"

Sitting on the chair, Zi Xiaoyi murmurs to himself, believing he hasn’t done anything wrong, but Zi Huan’s reaction makes him doubt his decision.

From the moment he saw Zi Huan, he was instantly struck by her beauty. Zi Huan’s beauty and appearance, her temperament, were certainly no less than any of the ancient beauties of Ancient Demon City.

After learning of the family’s drastic changes, he immediately thought of this idea, using the Memory Demon Crystal to capture her likeness while she wasn’t looking.

After meeting the City Lord, Ancient Demon King, he didn’t return immediately but went straight to the Heavenly Treasure Palace set up by the Xing Family in Ancient Demon City.

The ancestral land of the Ten Great Families is not in Ancient Demon City, yet all have their forces stationed there, with their own territories and influence.

The Heavenly Treasure Palace, set up by the third-ranked Xing Family among the Ten Great Families, resembles a grand palace, majestic and splendid.

Compared to Heavenly Treasure Palace, Ziyi Square is shamefully paltry, not only located in a remote area with few pedestrians but also occupying a small area, only the size of an inn.

A few days ago, Xing Family’s strongest heir Xingtian emerged from retreat, arriving in Ancient Demon City to prepare for the selection competition.

Since other families’ strongest heirs hadn’t arrived yet, Zi Xiaoyi had no choice. To revive the Purple Demon Family and avenge the clan’s grievances, he had to aim for the high branch that was the Xing Family for hope.

That afternoon, after enduring one tedious report after another, he finally met the Xing Family’s strongest heir, Xingtian.

Upon their first meeting, Xingtian displayed a high-and-mighty demeanor, utterly disdainful, showing no interest in conversing.

"I’ve heard that Xingtian has yet to marry. I have a niece, a peerless beauty, no less than any of the beauties of Ancient Demon City. I wish to betroth her to Young Master Xingtian; what do you think?"

Xingtian’s arrogance made Zi Xiaoyi very uncomfortable, yet he suppressed the indignation in his heart and stated his intentions straightforwardly.

At that time, he was afraid of being driven out by Xingtian!

"Oh? No less than any of the Ten Great Beauties, then I really want to see her. As for her being my wife, do you think it’s possible for your third-rate Purple Demon Family?"

Back then, upon hearing this, Xingtian showed no regard for Zi Xiaoyi, maintaining a haughty demeanor, "If your niece’s beauty catches my eye, I might consider reluctantly taking her as a concubine."

Reluctantly taking Zi Huan as a concubine!!

At that moment, Zi Xiaoyi was extremely furious and unwilling—he was very confident in his niece’s beauty!

With a sense of indignation, he took out the Memory Demon Crystal, infused it with Death Demon Energy, and showed Xingtian Zi Huan’s image, incredibly realistic.

A devilish figure, exquisite features, a charm radiating from within...

The outcome was exactly as Zi Xiaoyi anticipated; the moment Xingtian saw the projection of Zi Huan, he was stunned! Such a beautiful woman existed in the world, with a figure like a devil’s and exquisite features. Even though it was just a projection, he could feel the alluring aura emanating from Zi Huan.

"Your niece’s beauty is indeed remarkable, comparable to one of the top ten beauties of the Ancient Demon City, but you should know, your family and mine are as different as clouds and mud, there’s simply no comparison, hence, your niece is only qualified to be taken as my concubine!"

At that time, although Xingtian was awestruck by Zi Huan’s beauty, he still exhibited the pride of the Xing Family’s strongest heir without reserve, "If you agree, I’ll first order the Mo Family not to retaliate against you, and then ensure a thousand years of peace for your Purple Demon Family!"

"Being able to serve Young Master Xingtian is her blessing, what grievance could there be? My niece is the most obedient and sensible, as long as Young Master Xingtian treats her well in the future, I believe she won’t vie for any status."

Although Zi Xiaoyi felt it was unfair for Zi Huan to become a concubine, he also knew that what Xingtian said was a fact, so he agreed.

"Very well, this matter is settled. Three days later, I’ll visit Ziyi Square to see my beauty!"

This was the last sentence Xingtian said during the meeting in the afternoon.

"Three days later, Xingtian is coming, but Zi Huan doesn’t agree, what should I do?"

Reflecting on the last words during the meeting with Xingtian, Zi Xiaoyi felt a bit worried.

Initially, he thought Zi Huan would agree, but he didn’t expect Zi Huan to completely disagree with this matter, her attitude was very firm.

...

Meanwhile, as Zi Xiaoyi was fretting, Zi Huan, who had just left his room, felt very downhearted.

She never imagined that as soon as she arrived at the Ancient Demon City, she would be sold by her own uncle!

Although she also knew her uncle did it for the sake of the family, her heart had already been firmly occupied by a certain figure, and she could not accept anyone else, let alone become someone’s concubine!

Thinking about everything her uncle just said, Zi Huan’s eyes reddened, expressing extreme grievance, as if she had lost her soul, wandering aimlessly.

As she walked, Zi Huan found herself outside the door of the room where Ye Fan stayed.

This realization made her slightly startled, and then her expression turned hesitant, unsure whether to tell Ye Fan about what had just happened.

After a brief struggle, Zi Huan bit her lip, made a decision, and gently knocked on Ye Fan’s door: "Brother Ye, are you asleep?"

"No, come in."

Ye Fan was currently sitting cross-legged on the bed, silently practicing the Nameless Mysterious Technique, with pure Death Energy circulating in the newly developed meridians.

How powerful was his Divine Soul?

Even if unintentionally, there wasn’t a word of Zi Huan and Zi Xiaoyi’s conversation that could escape him.

Upon hearing that Zi Xiaoyi intended to sacrifice Zi Huan’s personal happiness for the sake of the family, Ye Fan felt somewhat uncomfortable, but it was just discomfort.

For one, he had no right to decide Zi Huan’s life, and more importantly, he was destined to be a fleeting passerby in the Demon World and Zi Huan’s life!

However—

What he didn’t expect was that Zi Huan’s attitude was very resolute, absolutely unwilling to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of the family!

"Can I bring her happiness?"

Reflecting on the choice Zi Huan made because of him, Ye Fan felt profound guilt in his heart.

Because.

He knew.

He cannot.

He was destined to leave this world!

For the sake of past vows and goals, no matter how many thorns and hardships lay ahead, he could never stop moving forward!

But deep in his heart, he also didn’t want the deeply devoted Zi Huan to be hurt!!
