Abyssal Chronicles

Chapter 892 - 893: The Intense Reaction of the Crowd

"This is my fiancé, Brother Velin~" The girl’s voice, like a heavenly melody, was filled with joy and excitement.

As this declaration was made, the entire engagement venue instantly erupted into a frenzy. In an instant, countless eyes were filled with astonishment, shock, envy, and even jealousy. Everyone’s gazes were locked onto that elven youth.

"He, who is he? Velin? Never heard of him?!"

"Seems to be the second son of Elf King Karos, the one who has always been sickly?"

"That person hasn’t even interacted with Miss Yuan’er, why would Miss Yuan’er choose him?!"

"Attracted by his appearance? Gotta admit, that elven lad is quite handsome. But who would’ve thought, those elves who claimed to stay out of it, secretly submitted a marriage proposal? Hehe, impressive. Saying one thing and doing another, what a bunch of hypocrites."

...

...

At this moment, the elven people who had sought to keep a low profile by sitting in the corner of the venue suddenly became the focus of the entire hall.

However, Crown Prince Odom no longer had the energy to deal with this matter, let alone respond to the questioning words nearby and defend the reputation of the elven race.

Upon hearing Yuan’er’s declaration, he was directly stunned on the spot, mouth agape, eyes locked dead on the black-haired elven youth. He wanted to say something, but didn’t dare to.

After slightly accepting the reality, Odom unconsciously cast a strange gaze towards the elven youth. He had previously guessed that Yumo left the venue to deal with the matter of Yuan’er’s fiancé, with the purpose of stopping this engagement banquet.

In Odom’s view, with Yumo’s power and identity, stopping Yuan’er from getting engaged to another man should have been as easy as pie. But unexpectedly, the method she ultimately used was this?

Staring at the pink-haired girl who was happily hugging Yumo’s shoulders, Odom was very certain that the happiness in her eyes was genuine! It wasn’t some pretense.

After a moment’s hesitation, Odom unprecedentedly cast a questioning gaze tinged with a bit of reproach towards the elven youth.

-"Umm, Lady Yumo, is Miss Yuan’er...your daughter? Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to go seduce your own daughter?"-

-No! I’m not! I didn’t!! How could I possibly go seduce my daughter?! I’m not some kind of evl mother!!-

Faced with Odom’s questioning gaze, Yumo, who had transformed into an elven youth, cried out in her heart with great grievance and felt like weeping but had no tears.

Undoubtedly, after Yuan’er announced the elven second prince Velin as her fiancé, countless people in the venue were shocked. But strictly speaking, the degree of their shock was far less than Yumo herself.

Everything happening right now completely exceeded Yumo’s expectations. She never imagined that Yuan’er would choose the fictitious character "Velin" as her fiancé.

Velin and Yuan’er had only met once, Apart from that brief conversation on the rooftop, the two had no interaction at all?! Why would Yuan’er choose me?!

For a moment, Yumo’s brows twitched non-stop, and she could only force out an awkward smile under everyone’s gaze. While dealing with people’s stares, Yumo carefully lowered her body and whispered in Yuan’er’s ear:

"Umm, Miss Yuan’er, are, are you serious?"

Faced with Yumo’s question, Yuan’er turned her head to meet Yumo’s gaze and blinked very innocently and solemnly:

"Of course I’m serious, my dear~"

"Eh??"

When the words "my dear" fell into her ears, Yumo’s heart was directly hit by a critical strike.

"Ah, hehe, hehe. Being chosen by you is, is my honor. But, but, we, we just met for the first time, right? Why, why? Why would you choose me?"

Yumo still wanted to struggle a bit, asking in a stammering voice. Unfortunately, Yuan’er didn’t give her any chance to resist.

The pink-haired girl shyly covered her mouth with her sleeve, her face flushed, and said, "How could I have the nerve to say the reason in public, you meanie~"

After twisting her body coquettishly, Yuan’er directly chose to ignore Yumo’s question, and smilingly pulled her towards the ceremonial stage:

"Let’s not talk about this for now, come on, my dear, the ceremony isn’t over yet~"

Before the words faded, a terrifyingly powerful force erupted from Yuan’er’s arm. Yumo, whose set strength was only at the 4th level, naturally had no ability to resist. She could only let Yuan’er drag her, step by step, towards the ceremonial stage.

Why did it turn out like this?....

Yumo muttered to herself with immense frustration. It seemed like the situation was starting to develop out of contro.

"Damn it!! That elf looks really unhappy too?!"

"He’s not happy even after being chosen? Does he have a death wish?!!"

"Does he look down on Miss Yuan’er? Too self-righteous!"

"Others fought tooth and nail for this position, yet he got it effortlessly. Not only is he not grateful, he’s even disdainful? Infuriating!"

Although Yumo tried her best to conceal her emotions and put on a "happy" appearance, being chosen as her daughter’s fiancé was simply too ridiculous and shocking. Even Yumo couldn’t control her current emotions. Her smile was like it was forcibly squeezed out, full of awkwardness and dissonance.

The guests present weren’t blind. Naturally, they could see the elven youth’s unusual expression.

Therefore, countless angry gazes, like sharp swords, pierced Yumo from all directions, as if wanting to cut her to pieces.

Of course, the sharpest gaze among them didn’t come from these ordinary guests, but from the VIP room right above the ceremonial stage.

If the angry gazes of others were like ordinary blades, then the gaze shooting out from this VIP room was the scythe of the Grim Reaper!

Staring intently at the elven youth whose arm was held by Yuan’er, Kalina’s complexion had already darkened to the point of turning black.

Jiyan’s temporary disappearance had already made her extremely unhappy. And now? Her sister actually inexplicably chose a wet-behind-the-ears elven lad?!

Moreover, judging from that gaze, Yuan’er’s affection was heartfelt?! When did my little sister fall for that Karos fellow’s son?

It happened so abruptly that Kalina’s mind even entered a state of crashing for a while. And when she came back to her senses, realizing that her sister might have really been snatched away, Kalina’s worries and anger began to continuously well up from the bottom of her heart, instantly enveloping her entire being.

Clenching her fists tightly, a cold gleam gradually seeped out from Kalina’s eyes.

" Yuan’er, why would you fall for that elven boy?" Kalina was completely baffled.

And at this moment, Liyu’s words beside her added fuel to the fire! Perfectly demonstrating what it meant to "fan the flames".

"Sister Kalina! That guy, that guy is the scoundrel who lured Limo with chicken drumsticks before! After failing to harm Limo, he went to deceive Yuan’er’s feelings?! I said Karos couldn’t have been so lucky these years! Turns out he was raising a pretty boy to seduce us!"

Pointing at the elven youth on the stage below, Liyu angrily spoke in a tone of ’seeing through everything’.

As these words entered her ears, the flames of anger in Kalina’s heart climbed higher and higher. Let alone Kalina, when this thought surfaced in her mind, even the usually good-tempered Liyu had the urge to rush up and give that elven boy a good beating. The gray-haired girl’s pink fists remained tightly clenched.

"That stinking brat actually dares to deceive Yuan’er’s feelings? He must be, severely punished!!" Liyu huffed and made a vicious vow.

In Liyu’s heart, that elven boy had already been labeled as an emotional swindler.

However, making a vow was one thing, Liyu didn’t really dare to rush down and take action now. She was quite conflicted inside. After all, if Yuan’er truly liked this boy? And she rushed up to beat him, stopping the engagement, Yuan’er might hold a grudge against her.

Although she was doing it for her sister’s sake, the thoughts of a child in puberty were always hard to grasp. Yuan’er might think that she ruined her marriage?

She didn’t want to be hated by her sister. But at this juncture, if she didn’t take action herself, how should she punish that elven boy and stop the engagement banquet? Or who would be more suitable to go?

And just as Liyu was pondering, a familiar voice suddenly entered the gray-haired girl’s ears, instantly giving Liyu a feeling of enlightenment?

"Hey, good evening, my dear sisters~ Sorry for being a bit late with the gift, hahaha, sorry sorry. So, what’s the situation with the engagement banquet now?"

Hmm? This voice? Oho? There’s a way!

Turning her head to look behind, seeing that purple-haired man who bounced in laughing into the VIP room, a glint flashed through Liyu’s eyes.

The next moment, an anxious voice, with a slight sob, suddenly resounded in the VIP room.

-"Wahhh, Brother Pierre!! Something terrible has happened!"-
