Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress

The crowd of people below the stage had heard what the deputy said, crystal clear! They were shocked to the extreme. They truly never imagined that the deputy was such a two-faced person.

Nangong Ba coldly spat out a single word, “Kill!”

“Ah! Ah…” Soon enough, the deputy, Qin Siyue, and the elders all had their throats slit.

“N-Nooo, cousin! I beg you to spare me!” Lin Yimei cried with a terrifyingly pale face.

Nangong Ba looked over at Lin Yimei and shut his eyes. “Kill!” He ordered.

“Ah!” Just like that, Lin Yimei died by the man she loved the most.

All of a sudden, the quiet crowd started to rile up again.

Gong Yifei of the Celestial Cultivation Sect spoke naively and without malice. “I want to be Nangong Ba’s disciple! He’s so awe-inspiring!”

Jin Yuyao felt even more infatuated with him and she became dizzy. So handsome! So domineering! She really liked him!

The third brother, Hua Moyu grunted coldly. “What a truly cold-hearted and merciless person!”

The senior brother Hua Moyu concluded, “Nangong Ba had the strength to get rid of the deputy and the others ages ago. But, he didn’t, which goes to say that he’s still a man of sentiment. Now, Nangong Ba may look impressive, but who knows just how much blood, sweat, and tears he put into killing the deputy and the others without hesitation. He must have been extremely hurt a long time ago.”

Hua Moyu pursed his lips. Whatever! He just didn’t like Nangong Ba.

Jin Yuyao saw that they had more or less taken them all out, so she immediately cried in a high-pitched voice, “Mayor, will the beauty contest still proceed? After all, it was held in your name. You mustn’t make us come here all for nothing! Also, earlier, the deputy said whoever wins can marry you. Does that offer still stand?”

“Yes! Mayor, does that offer still stand?”

…

Over a hundred beautiful women from every corner of the land immediately bolted up in hopes that the beauty contest would continue.

Nangong Ba’s face looked instantly grim. He glared at Jin Yuyao, who yelled earlier, and looked troubled.

“Mayor, I want to marry you!” Jin Yuyao continued to scream.

The corner of Nangong Ba’s mouth twitched. She was the first woman who had loudly announced her desire to marry him. How truly shameless.

At that moment, Liu Rushuang and Han Moze were stood to one side to watch the show.

“That woman is so straightforward. I like her,” Liu Rushuang said with a faint smile.

“With just one look, you can tell that woman’s a love-struck fool. What’s there to like?” Han Moze said rather speechlessly.

Liu Rushuang had no comment, so she quietly watched the scene unfold.

Nangong Ba grinned, then spoke with a voice as clear as wine. “The beauty contest will go on as planned. The most beautiful woman will be awarded a Superior Slaying Shrine token.”

“What use is a Superior Slaying Shrine token? Also, wouldn’t it be better to marry the most beautiful woman?” Jin Yuyao furrowed her brows.

Nangong Ba stared at that stunningly beautiful woman with a slightly more grim look on her face. “If you don’t want the Superior Slaying Shrine token, then you don’t have to take part in the beauty contest. Lady, you may leave now,” He said coldly.

“Yeah! Get lost! You actually look down on the Superior Slaying Shrine’s token!”

“I heard there are only five Superior Slaying Shrine tokens. With the token, you can practically be on the same level as the master.”

“I want the token.”

…

Jin Yuyao fiercely gritted her teeth. He had unexpectedly asked her to leave? But she couldn’t bear to leave! The mayor was truly beautiful. For the rest of her life, her goal was to pounce on the mayor. Just thinking about it excited her! So, she then yelled in a high-pitched voice, “Mayor, I’ll take part in the beauty contest! I’m determined not to leave!”

Nangong Ba saw the overwhelming affection on Jin Yuyao’s face and broke out in cold sweat. This was the first time he had ever seen a woman so love-struck.
