“Your Highness, you probably have no idea who he is! He is Ling Xiao, the big loser Ling Xiao, and the shame of my Ling family!”
Ling Tianci took the lead and sneered.
"What?!"
Xia Hongxiu's face was shocked, and she could no longer maintain her indifferent expression.
This name was like a nightmare in her heart. She tried desperately to get rid of it, and for this reason she even returned from the Sun, Moon and Stars Sect and came to the Demon Suppression Palace in person.
Now, the young man was standing in front of her, giving her an extremely unreal feeling.
"You... are Ling Xiao?"
Xia Hongxiu looked straight at Ling Xiao, with a sharp gleam in her eyes.
"Of course, absolutely genuine!"
Ling Xiao smiled, his smile was very bright, and his face was full of a playful look.
When he saw Xia Hongxiu coming to the Demon-Suppressing King's Palace with such a grand ceremony, he vaguely guessed Xia Hongxiu's purpose.
Is it true that I can’t avoid it? If I can’t avoid it, I’ll just face it!
"very good!"
Xia Hongxiu took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling slightly. She forced herself to suppress the shock in her heart, and her eyes became cold again.
"Since you are Ling Xiao, there is no need for me to look for the future Demon King! Return the marriage certificate to me, and we will be even from now on!"
Xia Hongxiu stared at Ling Xiao with clear eyes.
Back then, Xia Huang and Ling Zhen arranged a marriage for Ling Xiao and Xia Hongxiu because they were born on the same day of the same month of the same year, and they also made two copies of the marriage certificate. When the two of them turned 16, they could become husband and wife based on the marriage certificate.
Xia Hongxiu asked Ling Xiao to hand over the marriage certificate, and her intention to cancel the engagement was self-evident.
"What?! Are you really here to cancel the engagement?"
There was a hint of shock in everyone's eyes. They didn't expect Xia Hongxiu to make such a big fuss and actually wanted to cancel the engagement with Ling Xiao.
"Ling Xiao is in such a pity now. Not only has his position as the Demon Suppressing King been snatched away by someone else, but even his future wife is going to abandon him!"
Someone laughed with glee and said in a low voice.
"You're here to break off the engagement? This is intolerable. If Ling Xiao can still tolerate such a huge humiliation, then he is not a man!"
"Hehe, so what if he can't bear it? He's a loser, and the little princess is a true disciple of the Sun, Moon and Stars Sect. The two of them are worlds apart. Does he really want to take advantage of others? I think he will definitely hand over the marriage certificate!"
Everyone shook their heads and whispered.
Xia Hongxiu's words immediately made the entire martial arts arena noisy.
"Cancel the engagement? The little princess is going too far!"
Hearing Xia Hongxiu's words, Meng Ao suddenly became furious, his eyes widened with flames of anger.
"The engagement between the young master and the little princess was made by the prince and the king. The king's promise is as heavy as Mount Tai. How can it be changed at will? If this engagement is cancelled, how will the young master live in the future? Does Xia Hongxiu take the prince seriously?"
Meng Ao's temper flared up and he stood up in an instant.
"Tiger, don't get excited!"
Liu Xiongfei was startled and quickly pressed Meng Ao down. He smiled bitterly and said, "Look, Young Master, he's not angry yet. Why are you angry? Believe in the Young Master. He will definitely be able to handle this matter!"
"Hehe, Old Bear, I'd better tell the truth. Otherwise, I will rush into the Great Wilderness Palace and ask the king to settle the matter!"
Meng Ao glared at Liu Xiongfei with dissatisfaction, then sat down with a grumble.
Ling Yunxiang and Ling Tianci both had expressions of intense sarcasm on their faces, and they looked like they were enjoying a good show.
Logically speaking, Ling Xiao's engagement was broken off and the Ling family lost face, so the Ling family should be united in their hatred of the enemy.
However, Ling Yunxiang and Ling Tianci no longer regarded Ling Xiao as a member of the Ling family. Seeing Ling Xiao being humiliated in this way, they secretly felt very relieved.
Everyone's eyes fell on Ling Xiao, and it seemed that Ling Xiao might go berserk in the next moment.
"Marriage certificate? What marriage certificate?"
Ling Xiao was slightly stunned, then looked at Xia Hongxiu casually.
Ling Xiao had really never seen their engagement. When that cheap old man Ling Zhen left three years ago, he didn't even give him the engagement. So even if Xia Hongxiu didn't say anything, Ling Xiao would never marry Xia Hongxiu.
Because the engagement was nowhere to be found.
"Ling Xiao, you know! We are not from the same world at all. You and I are impossible! Therefore, I will never marry you, so don't waste your time! As long as you give me the marriage certificate, I can ask my father to let you inherit the throne of the Demon King!"
Xia Hongxiu frowned and looked at Ling Xiao with some contempt, her face full of arrogance.
She thought Ling Xiao didn't want to hand over the marriage certificate at all, so he refused.
Moreover, at this moment, Ling Xiao gave her the feeling that his cultivation level had not fluctuated at all, and he was still that useless guy.
If such a person is still unable to recognize himself and is still obsessed with fantasy, he is definitely not a smart person.
But Xia Hongxiu's words made Ling Yunxiang and Ling Tianci's faces turn green instantly.
What? As long as Ling Xiao hands over the marriage certificate, he will inherit the title of Demon Suppression King
Then what should I do with Ling Tianci
Ling Tianci was extremely unwilling, but he didn't dare to say anything to Xia Hongxiu.
Ling Yunxiang and Ling Tianci both looked at Ling Xiao with concern, fearing that he would agree to return the marriage certificate to Xia Hongxiu.
"Hand over the marriage certificate and let me inherit the throne of the Demon Suppressing King? Is this considered a deal?" Ling Xiao smiled faintly, with a hint of sharpness in his eyes.
"If that's how you understand it, that's fine!"
Xia Hongxiu's voice was still cold, and she stood there waiting for Ling Xiao's answer.
"But I really don't have a marriage certificate!"
Ling Xiao's face was full of innocence.
Xia Hongxiu finally became impatient, with a hint of coldness in her eyes as she said, "Before the Demon King disappeared three years ago, he must have given you the marriage certificate. How could such an important thing be gone? Ling Xiao, I advise you not to waste your time, my patience is limited!
Hand over the marriage certificate, and be your demon-suppressing king in the future. I will ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"
Ling Xiao's eyes also turned cold.
"Xia Hongxiu, first of all, I told you, my father didn't give me the marriage certificate! So I can't give it to you!
Second, I didn't originally want to marry you. I, Ling Xiao, have no interest in a spoiled princess like you who is arrogant, uncultured, and disrespectful. Even if you want to marry me, I don't want to marry you!
Third, I realize that I have changed my mind now. Even if I have the marriage certificate, I am not willing to return it to you. What right do you have to be so arrogant and cancel my marriage with Ling Xiao? What qualifications do you have? Even if I cancel the engagement, it will be me, Ling Xiao, who will divorce you and drive you out of my Ling family!"
Ling Xiao's voice was very excited, his eyes were clear, and he stared at Xia Hongxiu and spoke every word.
