Holy!
The next second, the divine mandate descended—
"The scourge of secrets!"
"By the Lord's mercy—holy!!!"
Within those fanatical pupils, an unnamed shadow silently spread, those countless tiny eyes staring wide open—
Looking at you!

(On the first day of school, we stood in the square for an hour watching people receive awards. That was our opening ceremony...)
(Also, thank you to the gentleman in the night for the generous donation.)
(I'll try to update twice a week on Saturdays and Sundays, but I still need to think about opening a bounty. I'm afraid that all I'll do in the future is write and write... Everyone else is a repeating machine, but I'm the only one who's writing...)
Chapter 208 Someone Actually Came to Steal the Wedding!
(The people in the group are all like this, sigh. Not only are they not letting go of Sirin, but they're not even going to let go of Bella [that dragon] and Hiyomaru. They're really insane...)
(They're all mine! Mine! Kemono Friends are so awesome!)
------
Looking at his properly dressed self in the mirror, Wei Jiaxing chuckled self-deprecatingly and walked out the door.
"He really does look quite respectable. I never thought that I, Young Master Wei, would have someone dressed so formally."
Thinking about his past arrogance and indulgence, Wei Jiaxing sighed deeply before leaving the house, as if saying goodbye to his past. He then put on a smile and opened the door.
Hello everyone, thank you for attending my engagement party.
The people discussing outside the door looked at Wei Jiaxing in surprise, finding it hard to believe that this serious man was the same mischievous devil he used to be.
He gets into fights, drinks, smokes, and goes to bars in groups. He's also known for being handsome and rich, and he has illicit relationships with some women.
Overall, he was a good-for-nothing playboy. The only consolation was that he hadn't done anything heinous. No matter how much he messed around, he always insisted on exercising, claiming it was to prevent the Wei family line from dying out. Otherwise, no matter how much his father cherished his only son, he would have given him a good beating.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that his fiancée would be Chang Xueyue, a woman who could be considered his childhood sweetheart.
Honestly, although he had pursued Chang Xueyue at first, he eventually gave up. Although Chang Xueyue was very beautiful and had a great personality, he wanted to enjoy his life for a few more years. After all, the Chang family was a prominent family in the city, and if they were to get married, his life certainly wouldn't be as carefree. So, in the end, they were just close friends.
So, why are we suddenly getting engaged? How could that somewhat old-fashioned old man from the Chang family possibly agree to something like this?
Farewell, my unrestrained life.
Goodbye, bar that witnessed my romantic history. I guess I won't be able to go there again for a long time.
Goodbye, my cronies. Although I know you just want to be friends with my money, I really miss the days when we drank and chatted together at the barbecue stand.
Goodbye, my lovely girls. We can only say goodbye from now on, especially Xiaoxuan. You looked absolutely stunning in your cosplay outfits. It's a pity that I can no longer play those cool games with you in the hotel room.
Goodbye, to the handsome, dashing, and debonair me of the past.
Although he was very sad inside, Wei Jiaxing still had a smile on his face and looked very happy.
Happy my foot! I still want to keep having fun.
After exchanging greetings, they got into the convoy's cars and headed towards the venue.
--------
Upon arriving at the scene, Wei Jiaxing and the others were all holding a wine glass and chatting by the table.
When Chang Yan entered the venue, he naturally attracted the attention of most people. Even Wei Jiaxing had to admit that this boy was much more handsome than him.
He's still a minor. If he grows up, girls will probably come to him even if he just stands outside for a while.
This child is destined for greatness!
Many young women attending the wedding banquet were feeling a surge of romantic feelings, but they were too shy to speak up. They simply asked their families to inquire about the incredibly handsome man.
"Hey Lao Chang, how have you been lately?"
"Haha, thank goodness."
"Oh, that's great. By the way, is that very handsome child yours?"
"You mean Xiaoyan? Of course he's from our family. He's the second son's child. Look how handsome he is. Could it be that your daughter has taken a liking to him?"
"Oh dear, what you're saying..."
However, some girls were quite bold and walked up to Chang Yan to chat with her. When the other girls saw that things were not going well, they didn't care about being shy anymore and joined in the conversation. Before long, most of the girls at the wedding banquet had gathered around Chang Yan, and there was a cacophony of voices, which made the other men around them feel envious and jealous.
Damn it, just because you're handsome doesn't mean you can be awesome!
Sorry, being handsome means you can do whatever you want.
They really wanted to go up and teach this pretty boy a lesson about how to behave, but he was the second young master of the Chang family, and today's wedding banquet was the wedding banquet of two of the city's most powerful figures. They wouldn't dare to act recklessly here even if they were beaten to death.
They are the children of wealthy and powerful families, so they know better than anyone who shouldn't be messed with.
"It's time to start."
When Wei Jiaxing and Chang Xueyue appeared, it also aroused a chorus of exclamations.
The saying that a woman is most beautiful when she wears a wedding dress is absolutely true, and this is best exemplified in Chang Xueyue.
"Ahem, everyone, welcome to today's event with me and—"
"and many more--"
Wei Jiaxing raised the microphone, about to say something, when he noticed the door had been opened and a loud voice rang out, attracting everyone's attention.
Interesting, interesting.
I just helped someone crash a wedding last time, and now someone else is trying to crash another wedding. How interesting.
(Side quest triggered: The Wedding Robbery!)
(Having just helped your friend steal her bride, you find yourself facing another attempt to steal her at your cousin's wedding. Resolve the situation as needed, and you'll be rewarded with a rare item.)
We're on a mission!
But this time the reward... a rare item? Not a summoning opportunity?
Anyway, let's see how things go first.
He quietly retreated to a corner, picked up a drink, and sat down, intending to enjoy the spectacle of the wedding hijacking.
Although one can use magical techniques to directly peer into the minds of these people, or even hypnotize them, wouldn't that be less fun?
While enjoying a peaceful life, you should also find some small joys for yourself.
"Sir, this is my engagement ceremony. You must have come to the wrong room."
Wei Jiaxing looked at the group of people who had barged in, stepped forward and said something, while simultaneously gesturing behind his back to have someone call the security guards over.
"The engagement ceremony? Then you've come to the right place. And let me tell you, Mr. Wei, I'm not here for anything else, I'm here to steal the bride!"
One of the young men walked up to Wei Jiaxing, their eyes meeting directly, and he uttered words that seemed utterly absurd.
What era are we living in? Still having wedding robberies? That's probably just a fool driven mad by love.
Chapter 209 Clash
(The Third Young Master's wife has passed away. Life is so unpredictable... I remember the first novel I ever read was the Third Young Master's Douluo Continent. I was completely obsessed with it back then.)
------
"Haocang? You, what brings you here?"
When Chang Xueyue saw the person's face, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
This immediately drew strange glances from everyone, who frequently looked at Ning Haocang and Chang Xueyue, seemingly trying to uncover the "affair" between the two.
At this moment, Wei Jiaxing felt that his long, flowing, jet-black hair had turned green, making him look like a green hat.
At this moment, the Chang family members' expressions also turned very bad. Didn't Chang Xueyue's behavior confirm that she was related to this fool who had barged in? And she was calling him so affectionately. Wasn't this going to infuriate the old man to death?
The third brother, Chang Wuming, discreetly glanced at his father's face, and sure enough, it was somewhat dark, clearly indicating anger. He quickly stepped forward and shouted at Ning Haocang:
"Sir, please leave immediately. This is a very important event in my daughter's life, please do not disturb her."
Although he spoke politely, his tone was anything but polite.
Ning Haocang initially didn't want to pay attention to this person, but when he heard "my daughter," he perked up and turned his head slightly to look at Chang Wuming.
"You are... Xueyue's father?"
"Watch your tone, sir! Now, please leave, or I'll call security!"
"Security guards? I've already taken them all down. No matter how much you shout, no one will answer you. Since you're Xueyue's father, you should know what kind of person Wei Jiaxing is, right? How can you bear to marry your daughter to someone like that?"
Chang Wuming felt somewhat embarrassed upon hearing this. They knew exactly what kind of person Wei Jiaxing was, and if he could, he wouldn't want to marry himself off to such a spoiled brat. But there was nothing he could do; the Wei family's business and influence had grown enormous, and Wei Jiaxing's father, Wei Xiuwen, was a devoted man, yet no matter how many children he had, he couldn't produce a second son.
The Chang family may seem powerful now, but in reality, they are already overburdened, and Chang Yan's father is the root of all this. But all these sacrifices are necessary.
Of course, only the old man and Chang Liming knew all this; Chang Tianming and Chang Wuming only knew a little bit of the rumors.
Therefore, they urgently needed a powerful external ally, but this ally could not be too powerful, so that they could not swallow up the Chang family in one go. Thus, the Wei family became the best choice.
However, now, it seems an unexpected situation has arisen.
Amidst his embarrassment, Chang Wuming was also somewhat annoyed. How dare a mere brat lecture him? What about his dignity?
The security guards were all taken down? They were just a bunch of ordinary security guards. The Chang family has developed extraordinary strength over the years. This young punk really thinks he's invincible just because he's learned a little martial arts, and he doesn't respect the rules? How laughable!
"I already told you, please leave!!"
Amidst those loud words, a disturbing magic seeped into Ning Haocang's brain, seemingly commanding him to leave immediately.
This unknown spell was learned by Grandpa Chang from a magic book he obtained from an unknown place years ago. Unfortunately, the "magic power" required for these spells is converted from one's own life force. Grandpa Chang was afraid that learning it would affect the development of minors, so he did not pass it on to his grandchildren.
Currently, only the old man and his three brothers, Chang Yun and Chang Tian, have studied it. Chang Xueyue was not allowed to study because she was about to get married, so she could focus on being a virtuous wife and loving mother.
"Brain Command Technique" is an extremely powerful spell, but unfortunately its duration is too short. In addition, fearing that the Wei family also possessed extraordinary powers, it was not used on Wei Xiuwen.
"Yes, I'll do it right away—roar!!!"
Ning Haocang's eyes immediately became confused. He had just finished speaking and was about to reincarnate when a roar of the king of beasts resounded from his soul, instantly waking him up. His eyes immediately turned fierce.
"You scoundrel, how dare you plot against me!"
Recalling the spell he had just used, Ning Haocang felt his back was soaked with cold sweat.
This spell is too insidious and dangerous. If it were to distract him for even a moment during a fight, he would probably be dead by now.
Fortunately, I learned Xingyi Quan from my master, otherwise I might have been tricked today.
"Hmph, I'll let it slide since you're Xueyue's father, but remember, there won't be a next time! Xueyue, I've said it before, if you don't want to, no one can force you! Now, give me your hand and come with me. I didn't have the guts to say it before, but now, I want to say it—"
"What the hell are you talking about! Threatening my fiancée here, do you think I don't exist?! Eat my dragon's breath now—"
Wei Jiaxing, who had been ignored for a long time, was furious. "You're going to confess your love to my fiancé right in front of my fiancé, and you're even going to try to steal the bride? Do you think I'm Jello Kitty if I don't lash out?"
However, I'm not a tiger, I am—
Dragon Vein Warlock!
Warlock, the most despised profession, yet also the most envied and hated. You don't have to do anything; just wait for your bloodline to slowly awaken, provided you have a good ancestor. The only downside is that sometimes you need to spend money to buy herbs to stimulate your bloodline.
However, the Warlock's stat allocation is Charisma!
The more handsome someone is, the stronger they are; the stronger they are, the more handsome they are—that's how shameless they are!
If you're handsome, why worry about not having money?
Dragon Vein Warlocks are arguably the most powerful and wealthy warlocks out there, possessing a host of shameless abilities such as dragon blood baptism and dragon transformation. Of course, Fate Warlocks and Divine Descendant Warlocks are even more shameless, one being accompanied by the protagonist's glory and the other having ancestors who are even more awesome.
With a roar from Wei Jiaxing, flames erupted from his mouth, and the intensely hot waves of fire struck Ning Haocang first.
"Xingyiquan - Turtle Fist!"
"Ice Talisman, Armor Talisman, Pardon—!"
"Instant Spell Casting - Slight Elemental Resistance!"
