Everyone present was filled with intense astonishment in their eyes.

No one expected Ye Qiu to respond in such a way.

He doesn't want to get married!

In front of the renowned large Bai Family of the Capital City, in front of Bai Lan, the goddess who seems like a celestial being, Ye Qiu...actually said he doesn't want to get married?

Has this guy lost his mind?

Even if he's the Demon King, the God of the army, he is now just a retired soldier!

No family background, no connections.

To put it bluntly, isn't he just a poor nobody now?

Someone like Ye Qiu, anyone like him, encountering such a large family like the Bai Family, and a goddess like Bai Lan, would do everything possible, shamelessly trying to attach themselves to this big tree of the Bai Family.

And Ye Qiu actually refused?

What right does he have?

He's simply not appreciating the opportunity given, taking the face and not wanting to show respect!

"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with brother-in-law? Why would he say something like that?" The White Rose was completely dumbfounded, her mouth forming an 'O', staring blankly at Ye Qiu, unable to comprehend it for a long time.

Bai Lan was also stupefied for a moment, her smile becoming extremely stiff.

On the way here, she didn't deliberately emphasize these things, but she believed that with Ye Qiu's intelligence, he must understand what was going on, and since Ye Qiu decided to come along, he would certainly give her a clear answer, right?

However, no matter what, Bai Lan never expected Ye Qiu to refuse at the critical moment!

And to refuse so decisively!

In her heart, there was a tinge of bitterness, but ultimately, she said nothing more.

"Bai Lan, I'm sorry..."

Ye Qiu gave Bai Lan an apologetic glance.

Faced with Bai Lan, he had to admit that he had feelings for her, and pretty deep ones, otherwise, with his character, he wouldn't easily, repeatedly get involved with a woman like Bai Lan.

In fact, when Bai Hongguang mentioned marriage, Ye Qiu's first thought was to agree.

However, when the words reached his mouth, he forcibly swallowed them back.

Because, in that instant when the decision was about to be made, a superbly beautiful face appeared in his mind.

The Blood Empress Phoenix!

In that moment, that exquisite face, that heroic silhouette, was like a sharp blade frantically stirring Ye Qiu's heart!

The past scene still appeared in Ye Qiu's mind.

On the magnificent seaside, on the majestic cliff, Phoenix leaned against Ye Qiu's shoulder, watching the rising sun.

She smiled faintly, gently saying, "Qiu, would you marry me?"

"Of course, once this mission is over, we'll get married."

Phoenix laughed.

Laughed joyfully.

Her laughter, crisp like silver bells, lightly touched Ye Qiu's heartstrings.

That day, the two of them sat at the edge of the cliff, embracing each other, watching the rising sun.

They planned their future.

He said he would buy an island, a private world belonging to them, no one could infringe.

She said they would have two adorable babies, to make their world more complete.

That day, they made countless beautiful promises.

They were full of expectations for the future!

However, on that day, the Blood Empress Phoenix was ambushed, besieged by numerous strong adversaries!

She... fell with endless unwillingness!

That day, all their dreams, just formed, were shattered in an instant...

All the beauty vanished into smoke.

Ye Qiu's heart shattered too, leaving an irreparable wound.

He had a knot in his heart, an unsolvable one!

The guilt towards Bai Lan left him no reason, and no right, to agree to this marriage proposal!

"Ye Qiu, your answer surprises me. Perhaps you truly have some unspeakable secret, but regardless of the reason, making such an unexpected decision at this moment only means that you are letting Lan down."

"Ye Qiu, do you look down on our family or the Bai Family?"

Bai Hongguang and Mu Yun spoke consecutively, openly criticizing Ye Qiu.

The other members of the Bai Family around also murmured, very displeased with Ye Qiu's actions.

However, at this moment, Ye Qiu didn't care about these things.

Amidst the scolding of the crowd, he slowly turned around and left the hall.

Whew...

Autumn had arrived.

In the bleak autumn wind, Ye Qiu's slightly lonely figure walked further and further away.

...

At the same time.

Tianshang Club.

A group of the second generation heirs were gathered in the T word private room, playing with the young girls in their arms, chatting and laughing.

"Hey, did you guys know? Bai Lan is back," said a second generation with a cigar in his mouth suddenly.

"Brother Cigar, you're underestimating us. How could we not know about something this big?"

"I've seen Bai Lan's recent photos, she's becoming more beautiful and more graceful. Those girls I've been with are nothing compared to her, if I could get just one night with her, it would be absolutely amazing."

"Come on, you do know Bai Lan is Zhang Tianfu's fiancée, right? You're openly trying to take Zhang's brother's woman."

Mentioning Zhang Tianfu, the eyes of the second-generation heirs immediately turned in unison!

"Hehehe, actually, brother Zhang has already been preempted."

Brother Cigar gave Zhang Tianfu a meaningful glance and said, "From the information I've seen, Bai Lan has already been with someone named Ye Qiu.

Looks like she's even slept with that Ye Qiu, brother Zhang's fiancée has already been with someone else!"

"I've heard about this too, it's true."

"Brother Zhang, your wife has been with someone else, how embarrassing!"

Zhang Tianfu was wantonly groping the two beautiful girls in his arms, and upon hearing the other second generations' jeering, his face suddenly went stiff.

Thinking about the happenings of the past, a tremendous anger surged in his heart!

Being ridiculed by so many people for having his fiancée taken felt like utter shame, yet he had no way to deal with it.

Who is Ye Qiu?

He's the King of the Demon Corps!

No matter how powerful he is, how could Zhang Tianfu possibly be a match for Demon King Ye Qiu?

Besides, he had already been harshly taught a lesson before.

"Brother Zhang, what's with your expression? Your wife has been taken and you show no reaction?" Brother Cigar seized the opportunity, mocking Zhang Tianfu more severely.

"Indeed, now that Bai Lan is back, you have to seize the chance to regain your face?"

"If you don't properly teach Ye Qiu a lesson, what's left of your reputation to continue hanging around in the Capital City?"

The other second generations also joined in the ridicule.

"Ye Qiu! Ye Qiu!!!"

Zhang Tianfu's face grew uglier, soon distorting completely, secretly cursing, "Damn Ye Qiu! If it weren't for you, how could I be mocked by so many people?

You made me a laughing stock, I cannot let it go like this. No matter what, I must make you pay the price!"

"But..." Zhang Tianfu furrowed his brows again, thinking to himself that Ye Qiu is really too formidable, and his second uncle had specifically warned him not to provoke Ye Qiu. If he wanted to deal with him, he certainly couldn't act directly, maybe... he could use someone else!

"Who could possibly take him down?"

Zhang Tianfu's brain was working rapidly, and half a minute later, a person flashed in his mind.

Zhao Wenhua!

The eldest son of the Zhao Family, Zhao Wenhua!

The Zhao Family is one of the top families in the Capital City. If Ye Qiu offended them, it would be disastrous!

"Hehe, Ye Qiu, you're done for, you're dead!"

Zhang Tianfu's lips curled up in a sinister smile.
