Chapter 1189: Chapter 1188: Enraged from Embarrassment

A deathly silence envelops the scene.

Even the breathing of those nearby can be heard.

No one dares to speak, for the scene is simply too awkward.

Second Young Master Yun appears utterly confident of victory, yet he loses in just one move to Left Envoy Yang, an indelible embarrassment.

Even as he stands on the platform, Second Young Master Yun’s face alternates between red and white, speechless as he stares at Left Envoy Yang.

Clap! Clap!

"Bravo!" The silence is shattered by applause and cheers.

It’s Yang Chen.

Yang Chen claps his hands and cheers, "A lost bet must be honored, everyone heard it, plus six clan leaders witnessed it! You shall no longer harass Left Envoy Yang!"

"Shut up!" Second Young Master Yun suddenly glares at Yang Chen and roars. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

His face twisted in rage, Second Young Master Yun looks truly terrifying.

Yang Chen remains unfazed, shrugging, "What? Ashamed of losing and now enraged? I’m merely stating a fact; even if you’re angry, it changes nothing."

"Shut up! Shut up! I want you to shut up! Do you hear me?" Second Young Master Yun screams at Yang Chen, abandoning all dignity.

Yang Chen shrugs indifferently, "Alright! If you don’t want me to speak, I won’t!"

Second Young Master Yun burns with anger at Yang Chen’s gleeful appearance, wishing nothing more than to rush down and tear him apart!

Left Envoy Yang frowns as he observes Second Young Master Yun, a flash of disdain in his eyes.

The disdain stems from Second Young Master Yun’s carefully maintained image; he’s always been the epitome of a gentleman, courteous and polite to all. But his current outburst exposes his true nature.

This only arouses more dislike because who would favor a person who conceals himself so deeply?

Second Young Master Yun feels he’s lost his composure, takes deep breaths to calm himself, looks at Left Envoy Yang, and says, "Chenxi, is this what you want?"

"This is my most modest request, which I’ve stated long ago," Left Envoy Yang replies flatly.

"But! You belong to the Yun family, who else but me is worthy of you? As long as I refuse, no one in the Yun family dares to covet you! Looking elsewhere? The Yun family does not permit outside marriages, you know this, right? I’m the only match for you!" There’s madness in Second Young Master Yun’s eyes.

He desires Left Envoy Yang intensely! He must have her! This desire has driven Second Young Master Yun to obsession.

Left Envoy Yang furrows his brows, responding coldly, "Then I’ll be alone forever."

"You!" Second Young Master Yun flares, "You’d rather be alone forever than be with me?"

Left Envoy Yang remains silent.

"Why?" Second Young Master Yun demands hysterically; he must know why.

"There’s no reason!"

"Bullshit!" Second Young Master Yun finally snaps, pointing furiously at Yang Chen below, "Is it because of this man? Huh? Is it because of him!"

Left Envoy Yang furrows his brow, silent.

"Speak!" Second Young Master Yun yells.

Left Envoy Yang steps back, bows his head, and stays silent.

"Let me tell you, only I am worthy of you!" Second Young Master Yun stares at Left Envoy Yang, speaking each word clearly.

Unable to stand it any longer, Yang Chen argues, "Why say that? There are plenty of us! You may fail, but that doesn’t mean we will! Right? Don’t you all want to pursue a goddess?"

The crowd falls silent, looking at Yang Chen with disdain; they refuse to let him use them.

Seeing the silence, Yang Chen bursts forth with explosive news, "You truly don’t want to try? Left Envoy Yang still wants a contest, like an olden martial challenge to marry! Only the strongest can be with Left Envoy Yang, don’t you want that? It’s such a great opportunity!"

Upon hearing this, whispers of interest ripple through the crowd.

Yet, due to Second Young Master Yun’s pressure, none step forward.

"Enough!" Second Young Master Yun barks at Yang Chen, enraged, "Abandon such hopes! She will never marry outside; only Yun family members may approach her!"

"Why?" Yang Chen furrows his brow, glaring at Second Young Master Yun.

"Why?" Second Young Master Yun retorts with a cold laugh, "Because she’s a Yun family member! Born here, she’s a Yun family dog! Born here, she’ll die here, even as a ghost, still tied to the Yun family!"

"Say that again!" Anger rises in Yang Chen as he fixes his cold gaze on Second Young Master Yun.

Second Young Master Yun laughs coldly, "Even if I say it a hundred times, what can you do? That’s the reality!"

He turns to Left Envoy Yang, saying, "I fell for you at first sight, I admire you, which is why I’ve accommodated you, tolerated you! On Penglai Island, I offered you escape, opportunity, resources, paving the way to who you are today! Yet how do you repay me? You call for a contest—I oblige. Do you truly not wish to be with me?"

"The contest results are very clear!" Left Envoy Yang replies with a stern voice.

"Ha! Haha!" Second Young Master Yun laughs maniacally, "Fine! Fine! Just fine! Since it’s like this, I see no reason to indulge you further. As Second Young Master and Vice Clan Leader of the Yun family, I order you to accept my ring, my proposal, and become my fiancée!"

He’s about to resort to brute force!

Left Envoy Yang furrows his brow, using silence as refusal.

But Second Young Master Yun is relentless, stepping forward to seize Left Envoy Yang.

Seeing this, Left Envoy Yang starts, urgently brandishing his sword at Second Young Master Yun, "Don’t come near!"

Second Young Master Yun pauses, staring at Left Envoy Yang with agony in his eyes, "Will you harm me?"

"Don’t come near!" Left Envoy Yang repeats.

She will not, under any circumstance, agree to Second Young Master Yun.

Second Young Master Yun sneers, "Ha! Fine! Kill me, then! If I must die by your hand, so be it!"

He begins to move toward Left Envoy Yang.

Watching as Second Young Master Yun approaches her sword’s tip, Left Envoy Yang retreats repeatedly, her heart caught in turmoil.

Quickening his pace, Second Young Master Yun lets the sword pierce his chest, blood gushing forth, staining his white robe.

Left Envoy Yang gasps, hurriedly stepping back, reaching the edge of the platform.

"Wretched beast!" A sudden angry shout erupts, and black and white figures appear, moving directly to attack Left Envoy Yang, their energies morphing into giant black and white palms aimed at her.

Hit by these palms, a person would likely be crushed to pulp.

Left Envoy Yang, shocked, dodges swiftly.

In that instant, someone grasps her arm, pulling her away from the attack.

"You’re courting death!" Yang Chen’s voice is ice cold.
