Xing Yuan, after handling matters, returned to her original position. With a gentle wave of her hand, a faint glow flashed on Qing Su Yue's bracelet, and she was instantly teleported beside Xing Yuan.
Xing Yuan gently embraced her sister, her nose brushing against her neck as she sniffed. "Sister, I'm done. Did you miss me?"
"Yes!" Qing Su Yue wrapped her arms around Xing Yuan's neck and lightly kissed her lips.
Xing Yuan's face lit up with joy, and she triumphantly raised an eyebrow at someone in the distance.
Ya Yuan, who was openly subjected to this display of affection, forced a smile onto her face. However, the armrest of the chair beneath her turned to dust.
She wasn't angry at all, really!
It was just that she couldn't help but feel that Xing Yuan exuded an air of being utterly punchable.
Ya Yuan subconsciously sped up the flow of time in the illusion. She refused to believe that with so many people, she wouldn't find someone to her liking.
With Ya Yuan's superpowered enhancement, a group of people was quickly eliminated, while more entered the next round. It took a full hour, which translated to nearly a hundred years in the illusion, before the final few victors were decided.
One man and two women. The probability was quite low, but Ya Yuan didn't complain. A ball of light instantly lifted the three of them and shot them towards the sky.
To appear imposing, no, to showcase her noble image, Ya Yuan specifically created an energy platform in mid-air. The platform was vast and empty, with only a single throne upon it.
Xing Yuan was very curious and wanted to go up and watch the spectacle. However, the setup seemed to be specifically designed to keep her out. Due to the conflict between light and darkness, if she were to step onto the platform, it would likely be corroded. Furthermore, there were sound-blocking formations around, completely blocking Xing Yuan's path to eavesdrop.
Xing Yuan chuckled. As if she cared. She then nuzzled Qing Su Yue's face and said in a soft, spoiled tone, "Sister~ Shall we go shopping in Hui Cheng? Whatever you like, I'll buy it for you." She planned to have the stingy person above pay for it.
Qing Su Yue chuckled and stroked the adorable Xing Yuan. Although she could no longer hear her thoughts, due to their contract, she could clearly sense Xing Yuan's emotions. Xing Yuan's sudden display of affection likely stemmed from her inability to watch the show.
"Alright! But, did you bring money?" Qing Su Yue asked playfully, blinking her eyes.
"No!" Xing Yuan shook her head with certainty. "But you do! Everyone knows you. We can just put it on the Bright Temple's tab. Besides, I did her a huge favor before, so it's not a big deal for her to pay a little."
"Fine, as you wish," Qing Su Yue's gaze fell on Xing Yuan with infinite indulgence.
Above, Ya Yuan looked at the three individuals before her with a serious expression. She cleared her throat and asked in a low voice, "Why have you come to participate in my matchmaking?"
A woman with a rather dashing appearance stepped forward first, her eyes bright. "I am here naturally because I admire the divine being. Of course, if I can become stronger through this, that would be even better."
Ya Yuan nodded gently and then turned her gaze to a woman in green, who appeared more delicate. She asked kindly, "And you?"
"I, I have long admired the God of Light and wish to stay by your side to serve you." The woman's eyes were full of adoration, seemingly sparkling.
Ya Yuan couldn't help but curve her lips. Finally, she asked the man, "And you?"
The man had a gentle demeanor. Hearing Ya Yuan's question, he simply replied frankly, "I am much like them. However, my primary reason is to admire you, Divine Being."
"Mhm, you are all very good," Ya Yuan's smile could no longer be contained.
She swallowed slightly, thinking with some distress, could she have them all?
Since these people were sincere towards her, it felt like a waste to let them leave just like that.
As if being manipulated, Ya Yuan blurted out, "Do you perhaps mind staying by my side together?"
Soon, Ya Yuan reacted, letting out a dry laugh and quickly trying to salvage the situation. "It's mainly because you are all so outstanding that I can't make a decision right now."
"You are a Divine Being! There is nothing in this world that you cannot have if you desire it," the dashing woman said first.
She was a knight-captain and a devout follower of the God of Light. She had always believed in the principle of the strong ruling, and that the strong should have exceptions.
She then suddenly knelt on one knee, performing a gentleman's bow. "I am willing to serve the Divine Being alongside these few. This is my honor!"
The woman in green lightly stomped her foot, glared at the woman in front of her, and then curtsied gracefully. "This humble girl is also willing. Just being able to serve by the Divine Being's side is enough to make me happy."
The man was not to be outdone. "Esteemed Divine Being, please permit me to stay. I will prove my worth to you and will never give you reason to regret this decision."
Ya Yuan blinked, feeling bewildered yet somewhat surprised. Was she really that popular?
She lightly smoothed her hair, a blush coloring her cheeks. She said shyly, "Since that is the case, then you shall all stay for now!"
The three of them instantly said in unison, "Thank you, God of Light!"
The individuals exchanged glances and then let out a cold snort from their noses.
Don't think I (he/she) don't know your little schemes. It's just a tactic of advancing by retreating. I can do that too.
"Well then, shall we descend?" The blush on Ya Yuan's face had not yet faded, but she was thinking that if she hadn't had the whim to hold a matchmaking event, she might never have known that she was so well-regarded by some people.
With a wave of her hand, the group instantly descended back to the ground. Ya Yuan subtly concealed them amongst the crowd, making them not too conspicuous.
As she returned to the ground, Xing Yuan sensed something. She casually picked up another bottle and placed it in her palm. Turning to Qing Su Yue, she said, "Sister, why don't we go back first? I want to see who she finally chooses."
"Okay~" Qing Su Yue squeezed Xing Yuan's face and said softly, "Alright! Don't be angry anymore. Getting angry can make you ugly, you know!"
Xing Yuan huffed, stubbornly replying, "I won't!" Even if she did, she had ways to deal with it.
However, she still obediently relaxed her furrowed brow.
Sister's words were like imperial decrees, and she naturally had to obey. She would just take out her anger on the person who made her angry.
