Chapter 164 Chosen
The young man had long white hair that seemed to radiate light.
His eyes were like a holy sea, pure white.
He had a handsome face that when combined with the power of his light, could make women go crazy with fascination.
His aura was also mysterious and deep, as if he cultivated in an entirely different way.
He was undoubtedly a striking genius, possessing strength far above average.
Of course, Ciel couldn't say that he was a genius one level above Mu Yixue, he thought they were still on par, but obviously this man was more experienced, probably because he had already adventured in many places.
His cultivation was also already at the Hegemon Ninth Stage. It was already at the threshold, it only took one touch to break through.
The factor of all that was actually because he was a few years older, so it was natural that he had that advantage.
Because he was also looking at him, so their eyes met instantly.
Even so, the first to speak was still the old man beside him.
"Miss Rin, why did you come to our place in such a frenzied manner?" the old man asked Rin.
He was actually also a famous figure in the Realm of Life, known as the God of Life Light, using the word life because his light could give people life force.
Basically, he could make an army stronger.
"We are here to ask for an explanation," Rin replied.
"What explanation?" the old man asked.
"Isn't it obvious? We Ice Palace just proposed to Princess Yasmin, now you're doing it too, isn't this a provocation?" Rin unhesitatingly spoke her mind even though her words might sound strange as this was a protest that should not have been uttered.
However, when people saw Rin say that, they could not help but think that the Ice Palace was domineering, not petty.
This of course had a difference as the word domineering described people who were powerful, having the strength to back up their unreasonable attitudes.
"I did not expect you to make such a big deal out of this little thing," replied the God of Life Light, shaking his head.
"So what, if you can't give my little brother an explanation, we'll fight here," Rin replied, adamant. She even slightly released her aura which easily cooled the hot desert air.
The God of Life Light seemed distracted by Rin's aura, as if he already knew the outcome in the event of a fight.
At this moment, the Divine Light Young Master, Gabriel, suddenly said, "Miss Rin, it's my decision, so if you want to ask for an explanation, it's more suitable for me to give one."
He looked at Rin before continuing, "but I don't think it's right for you to ask for an explanation. It should be him."
After saying that, he looked at Ciel again.
"And what is your explanation?" Apparently Ciel asked straight away, showing a clear demeanor without the slightest hesitation.
"Well, I can only say that I like Princess Yasmin, is there a problem if I propose to her?" Gabriel replied.
"You're doing it at the wrong time," Ciel replied.
"So? Are you afraid of competition?" Garbiel gave Ciel a faint smile that was actually a smile of mockery and challenge.
It seemed that it was not only because he did not want Yasmin to fall to Ciel, but also because of his hostility towards Ciel.
This was not a strange problem even though they had just met. Two people being hostile sometimes doesn't need a reason, just because of the place where they are.
"I'm here to compete in the fairest way possible," Ciel replied calmly.
"Do you want to fight with me?" asked Gabriel.
"No, let's just war. See who wins. If the war here is not enough, let's move on to a bigger war. Your sect against the Ice Palace and the Elf Kingdom."
"..."
People were stunned when they heard Ciel's words because if there was a war between the three factions, the entire Realm of Life could be shaken into disarray.
The problem was that a war between them would definitely involve many other powerful factions being forced to join one of the sides.
"Young man, be careful with your words, you think you have the right to say that?" The God of Life Light said in a quite loud voice to Ciel.
He looked so angry that he probably would have slapped Ciel across the face if there was no Rin beside him.
Ciel's words were indeed excessive as they should have been spoken by great figures, not juniors like Ciel. Even a God like him could not rightfully utter those words.
Unfortunately he had forgotten Ciel's identity.
Rin laughed and said, "trust me old man, my little brother can make it happen, don't compare him to the little junior beside you."
Rin said those words because she wanted to remind everyone that Ciel was different.
Being called Little Junior, Gabriel looked unhappy, but there was nothing he could say when Rin spoke about it.
What made him even more unhappy was the way Rin seemed to portray Ciel as being on a different level to him.
Meanwhile, Yasmin, Aunt Hala, and the others were also surprised by Ciel's words.
They imagined that scenario happening, and it scared them.
If it all happened, the starting point of the problem would actually be them.
"Aunt Hala, I'm already convinced that Ice Prince is the right one to be my husband, can you go over there and tell them about this," Yasmin suddenly said to Hala.
The latter opened her mouth as she was taken aback again.
However, she didn't think much either, she nodded before taking a step.
"Sorry," she said as whe appeared near the Ice Palace and Sect of Light's group.
Her appearance startled the people so their focus shifted to her.
Ciel, Rin, Gabriel, the God of Life Light stared at her, waiting for her to speak as they could all guess the reason for her arrival.
She didn't try to delay either, she simply said what she wanted to say.
"Princess Yasmin has decided to accept the Ice Prince's proposal."
She looked at Ciel when she said that and then looked at Gabriel and the God of Life Light whose expressions became visibly unfamiliar.
"I'm sorry Your Majesty, Young Master, but this is already her decision. Princess Yasmin has her own considerations in choosing a mate," she told them.
This sudden announcement still surprised Ciel while Rin laughed charmingly.
"I knew that girl was smart. She does know how to choose a husband well," she said, glancing at the God of the Life Light with a sardonic look.
The spectators watching from afar looked at each other, wondering what made Princess Yasmin make such a quick decision.
At the same time, Hala spoke again but to Ciel. "Prince, we believe that the wedding should not be postponed once it has been decided. Therefore, we plan to hold the ceremony tomorrow at Yasmin's residence. We will prepare everything, you just need to come with the dowry we asked for."
"Of course," Ciel replied directly, even he wanted to laugh with joy.
Married!
He was finally going to do it soon.
From the earth to this world, despite having experience with beautiful women, he had never actually gotten married, he was filled with curiosity towards it.
Of course, he would not refuse.
It was just that he was getting jealous looks from Mu Yixue and Mei Mei.
They were in contact with him first, but there was no such thing as marriage.
Yasmin whom he just met today is suddenly going to marry him.
What worries them is whether that means Yasmin's status will be higher because she will officially become a wife?
The problem with all of this is actually that the Ice Palace prohibits marriage, which in turn makes marriage seem like a very foreign thing there.
Even when Ciel had relationships with the women there, he was made to feel as if there was no need for marriage to establish their relationships.
Of course, he didn't think Yasmin would have a higher status.
In the end, she would be no different from Mu Yixue and the others.
Whose status was higher would be determined by their respective abilities while by his side.
Ciel chose not to say anything about this, he thought things needed to flow naturally.
He then looked at Gabriel who seemed to not believe what was happening.
He was obviously very confident. Even he was very confident that Yasmin would prefer him.
Although Ciel had a unique status, his status was also extraordinary. Most importantly he was a genius with great potential.
No matter how he thought about it, he felt he was a better choice for a husband.
However, why was Ciel the chosen one.
"There doesn't seem to be any need for competition between us, yeah this at least saves you the trouble because your sect won't be able to win," Ciel said, mocking him so blatantly that the Sect of Light disciples became angry.
"Brat, if you dare, have a duel with our Young Master," said one of them in a loud voice.
Because he was too angry, he no longer cared about the consequences.
"Right!" The others instantly agreed to his words.
"If you're so brave, fight our young master head-on," they said simultaneously.
