“The promise that I’m asking for is your 100,000 elite soldiers!” Chen Xiaobei said. “If… and I’m only saying if, Tenshou Starfield and Royal Dome Starfield launch a joint attack on Saint Duke, I hope that Neptune can send troops to help Saint Duke!”

“Childe Chen… Are you kidding?” The holy emperor looked puzzled. “Even though you’re participating in the competition to win princess Puti’s hand in marriage, we still don’t know who would be the one marrying the princess in the end. Isn’t it a little too early to ask for this promise?”

“I will definitely be able to marry Puti! I have to!” Chen Xiaobei said in a resolute, unwavering manner.

This proclamation stunned everyone in the room.

They all knew that this Saint Duke betrothal contest had drawn the attention of many powerful forces, and had gained the participation of a myriad of talented young men.

Everyone wanted to bring home the beautiful princess, but they all had to go through all sorts of demanding and grueling tests.

In fact, the most popular candidate of this betrothal was the man who ranked first on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard, Helian Tulong!

To pass all the tests and to compete against Helian Tulong was going to be extremely difficult – close to being a monumental and unfeasible feat.

No one could understand why Chen Xiaobei was so certain, so resolute!

Of course, despite that, they would never again doubt Chen Xiaobei’s abilities.

Previously, before Chen Xiaobei sealed the Demonic Beast, they were all cynical of his abilities to complete the task. But in the end, Chen Xiaobei did everything he had said, and delivered the most perfect outcome.

Indeed, the truth beats all rhetoric!

The people of Neptune believed that Chen Xiaobei was an indisputably extraordinary person – he could accomplish what most people could have never done in a million years!

“Alright! We agree to Childe Chen’s request!” The holy emperor answered. “As long as Childe Chen wins the betrothal contest, if and when Saint Duke is in trouble, Neptune Starfield will provide military assistance!”

“Good! I only needed to hear that from you, your majesty!” Chen Xiaobei grinned. “If there’s nothing else, I have to make haste and return to Saint Duke. I will have to be at the palace early tomorrow morning!”

“I have a question!” Ao Liancheng stood up. “Saint Duke requires 100 jin of Earth-God materials for the first elimination round. You’ve been helping us for the past six days and with what little time you have left, you can’t possibly complete the task!”

“I have a way to do it but it’ll all depend on my luck!” Chen Xiaobei shrugged. “What about? Do you have the materials prepared?”

“I didn’t have time either…” Ao Liancheng smiled bitterly. “On top of that, since you are so determined to have Princess Puti, it’s better for me to withdraw from the competition…”

“Why? Are you giving way to me?” Chen Xiaobei asked.

“No… I don’t think I can beat you. So, there’s no need to waste my time…” Ao Liancheng smiled sourly.

Chen Xiaobei teased him, “Heh, why is the super youth who ranks fourth on the Nine-Zones Earth Leaderboard be so humble? If word gets out about this, the jaws of all nine zones of Jianghu people will fall to the ground!”

“I am just speaking the truth…” Ao Liancheng said. “If the incident of the Demonic Beast is spread out, the nine-zones of Jianghu people will know that it is not because of humility that I withdrew from the competition, but because I am convinced that I stand no chance and ready to concede to you!”

“Alright. You better stop praising me or I’ll get all puffed up!” Chen Xiaobei chuckled. “If you want to withdraw, I will not try to advise you against it. But then again, you’ll have to send me back to Saint Duke. With my own flying vehicle, it would take me a month to return!”

“That’s too easy!” Ao Liancheng said. “As long as you don’t mind, I’m willing to be your personal chauffeur. I’ll be at your disposal!”

“Alright! Let’s leave now!” Chen Xiaobei answered.

So, Chen Xiaobei, Ao Liancheng and Octopus man went through the portal and back to the outmost planet of Neptune.

After that, they took off on the interstellar flying vehicle, traveling at breakneck speed to Saint Duke Starfield.

Because the journey would take half a day, they traveled through the night.

Ao Liancheng sent Chen Xiaobei to the lounge area to recharge his batteries and prepare for tomorrow while he and Octopus took charge of flying the vehicle.

Chen Xiaobei did not refuse of course – the Qixi Festival’s Red Envelope Snatching Session was about to begin, and he needed the personal space.

He stretched himself out on the bed in the lounge, hands clutching his cell phone, waiting for the Qixi activities to begin.

Ding!

[For ceasing war in a peaceful manner, you receive 500,000 merit points!]

Ding!

[Your current merit points total is 34,080,000. You are 10,920,000 merit points away from the next level.]

[Charm: 3,408,000; Luck: 3,408,000]

“Wow! 500,000 points for sealing the Demonic Beast and stopping the war between the Neptune and the beast… But why did the points come in so late?” Chen Xiaobei frowned, sensing that something was wrong. “Merit points are normally tallied on the spot. Why did it take so long for it to drop? Could there be some changes made to the merits system this time?”

Ding!

[Additional reward. Your Netherspirit Battlescouter’s level is inadequate. Please upgrade before inquiring again!]

“Wow! Additional reward? What does that mean…” Chen Xiaobei was very surprised. “This has never happened before. I really have to ask Brother Yanwang to help me upgrade my Netherspirit Battlescouter! Who knows, it could be a really big surprise!”

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

There was a sudden flurry of activities in the Red Envelope Group, drawing Chen Xiaobei’s attention away.

Niu Lang: Another annual Magpie Bridge reunion! After being apart for 365days, 2 hours and 45minutes, I can finally see Zhinu, who captivates me even in my dreams! ?

Zhinu: In the past, it has always been only the two of us, Niu Lang and me, during the Qixi Festivals! Today is the first Qixi Festival after the establishment of the Three Realms Red Envelope Group. We’ve decided to share the joy with everyone and celebrate together!

Niu Lang: First of all, we’d like to thank the Heavenly Path Holy Saint for setting up the Three Realms Intranet in his business, and giving us this platform to celebrate the Qixi Festival! We would also like to thank…

Bull Demon King: Don’t need to thank us! If you want to express your gratitude, then just send the red envelopes! We share the same surname Niu (Cow), and you have to learn from me and do things in an upright way! Just start the Red Envelope Snatching Session and stop babbling!

Zhinu: Mm! Big brother Bull Demon King is right! We’ll not prattle on then. Let’s get right into the Red Envelope Snatching session! But this time, there is a small rule!

Bull Demon King: What rule?

Zhinu: It’s very simple. Singletons are not allowed to snatch Red Envelopes! Only couples are allowed to!

Chen Xiaobei was on edge when he saw the message.

“Wow! What the f*ck! The Qixi Festival on earth was torture for single people, but the Three Realms Group Qixi festival is even worse! Which son of a bitch came up with such a stupid rule? How heinous!”

Chen Xiaobei had high hopes of this Red Envelope Snatching Session… but now this?

Zhinu: Oh right, one more thing. This rule was set by Shen Gongpao. People who break the rule will be severely punished!
