Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 891 - 892: A Shocking Candidate

12/12

In a certain VIP room of the banquet hall.

Crack!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, a table shattered into pieces under Kalina’s palm.

Staring intently at the venue below, staring at the embarrassed Malok, Kalina quickly realized the current situation.

That guy Jiyan was missing!!

"That bastard, I told him to cooperate properly, and now he’s nowhere to be seen?"

Although it was a temporary act, becoming my sister’s fake fiancé was a blessing you could only receive if your ancestors’ graves emitted green smoke! You bastard, how dare you waste the opportunity we gave you like this?!

You dare to make my sister lose face?!

I’ll uproot your entire Malin family later!

Realizing the current situation, Kalina’s displeasure had already spread like a virus in her heart, and killing intent gradually oozed out from her body, slowly transforming into substantial blood-red flames.

Of course, Kalina wasn’t the only one whose emotions were "slightly" fluctuating after realizing the situation.

…

Seeing Malok hesitating and struggling without revealing the fiancé’s name, Odom poked the black-haired elf youth beside him who had a beautiful smile:

"Nephew, why did he stop halfway through the announcement and can’t speak?"

"Hmm?"

As this question entered her ears, Yumo who had been observing her daughter’s changes, was instantly stunned. Then, the joy on her face faded away at a visible speed, replaced by unease and a bit of panic!

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over!!! Something went wrong!!! Damn it! I forgot about this matter!

After taking in the sight of the people around her discussing in a lively manner, Yumo, the "culprit," suddenly had the urge to slap herself a few times.

Yuan’er and the others don’t know that the fiancé was dealt with by me, right?!

If the organizers announce the fiancé’s name, but the fiancé is not present?!

In that case, won’t everyone think the fiancé is unwilling to accept the engagement and left on his own accord? If so, what about my baby’s reputation?!

Ahhhhh!!

I really shouldn’t have dealt with that bastard just now.

No, no, that’s not right.

That bastard already made a move, so it would have been difficult not to deal with him even if I wanted to. Besides, with his character, it’s impossible to let him become Yuan’er’s fiancé.

The problem is, after dealing with him, I should have created some explosions to delay the start of the engagement banquet, and also let Yuan’er and the others know about Jiyan’s situation…

How could I have thought I had it under control and then happily returned to drink tea and watch the show?!

In an instant, a strong sense of regret surged in Yumo’s heart. Thinking that she might have caused her daughter to lose face, Yumo felt verry disappointed on herself.

However, more than regret and self-blame, what Yumo was more concerned about now was how Yuan’er would handle this situation.

Cancel it temporarily? Or choose someone else on the spot?

Or should I lend a hand?

But in this kind of occasion, I can’t recklessly use my powers…

What should I do?!!!

Yumo’s heart let out a series of hysterical roars.

However, just as Yumo was feeling conflicted and at a loss, Yuan’er on the ceremonial stage took action first.

The pink-haired girl walked step by step to Grand Marshal Malok’s side and whispered to him:

"Leave the rest to me, Grandpa Malok."

"Miss Yuan’er?"

Seeing Yuan’er’s confident demeanor, Malok was stunned for a moment. But in the end, he complied with Yuan’er’s intention and handed the microphone imbued with amplification magic to Yuan’er.

After taking the microphone, Yuan’er gracefully walked to the front of the ceremonial stage.

She didn’t show any sign of stage fright despite the hundreds of sharp gazes, still maintaining the elegant and dignified image of a young lady. Even though she was a girl who disliked being on stage and stared at, there was no trace of panic in Yuan’er’s eyes at the moment, only brimming with confidence.

Looking at the VIP guests below who were whispering to each other and constantly emitting puzzled emotions, the corners of Yuan’er’s mouth curved up slightly, revealing a sweet and charming smile.

"Everyone, could you quiet down a bit?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the still somewhat noisy hall instantly fell silent, and everyone’s eyes unanimously gathered on Yuan’er.

Under such gazes, a hint of guilt appeared on Yuan’er’s face.

"I apologize. In the host script I gave to Mr. Malok earlier, I deliberately didn’t write the name of my fiancé. So, it led to a brief awkwardness. Please forgive me. As for why I did that... umm, because this is a major life event after all, and I wanted to announce it myself..."

As these words entered their ears, the people below all showed expressions of "so that’s how it is," seeming to understand the reason for Malok’s earlier embarrassment.

"Then, who exactly is the engagement partner that Miss Yuan’er and the Lord have finally chosen?"

An elderly man dressed in luxurious attire curiously asked from below.

When this question was raised, the eyes of the VIP guests looking at Yuan’er were instantly filled with intense anticipation.

However, in response to this question, Yuan’er only smiled slightly and teasingly raised her hand to twirl her pink hair.

"About that..."

While teasing, under the focused gazes of everyone, the pink-haired girl stepped down from the ceremonial stage one step at a time.

On the other hand, unlike the anticipation and curiosity of others, Yumo felt unease towards the words spoken by Yuan’er on stage.

Indeed, Yuan’er’s words did temporarily alleviate the awkward atmosphere, but it couldn’t fundamentally solve this problem.

That guy Jiyan was already lying unconscious outside the White Crystal Castle! What can you announce, you little girl? Don’t tell me you’re really going to randomly choose someone?!

Even for the sake of saving face, you can’t be so reckless!!!

Randomly choosing someone won’t lead to happiness!!!

Yuan’er! Don’t be so impulsive!

Undoubtedly, at this moment, Yumo’s heart had already entered a roaring mode. Even vaguely, some dangerous thoughts popped up in Yumo’s mind.

Should I just blow up the scene?

I can’t take action myself, that’s true, but in that case, can’t I have Yue take action?

However, just as Yumo was about to summon Yue to start taking action, Odom beside her kept poking Yumo’s waist under the table with his finger. Under this series of stimulation, Yumo’s consciousness instantly returned from her thoughts to reality, and she looked at Odom beside her with some confusion.

"What’s up?"

In response to Yumo’s question, Odom didn’t reply and just kept looking forward.

Feeling puzzled, Yumo also raised her head and looked forward.

Then, she froze.

"Huh?"

Wh-What’s going on?

At this moment, Yuan’er, who had just said she would personally announce the engagement partner, had already crossed through one VIP guest after another at some unknown time, ignoring one young man after another harboring expectations, and directly came to the area where the elf VIPs were seated, arriving in front of the elven young man that Yumo had transformed into.

Then, under the breathless gazes of everyone, Yuan’er...

Staring at the girl in front of her who had her hands behind her back and a radiant, blissful smile on her face, Yumo blinked a few times, somewhat at a loss.

Why?

Why did Yuan’er come to me??

Wait? Could it be?!

In an instant, an ominous feeling arose in Yumo’s heart.

Soon, this feeling was confirmed.

The next moment, before Yumo could say anything, under the dumbfounded gazes of countless people, the beautiful pink-haired girl excitedly stepped forward, grabbed a certain frail elf, and intimately hugged his arm in front of everyone~

"Everyone, let me introduce you. This is the most suitable engagement partner that Grandpa and I have chosen, Brother Velin!!"

Yumo: Hmm? Huh? What? WTF?!
