Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 339 A Calm Wedding

Just then, the old housekeeper spoke up again.

"To keep things simple, my husband and I have discussed it and decided to cancel some of the more complicated steps. So now, please exchange rings and live a long and happy life together."

"..."

Mr. Xiao's smile deepened. He quickly pulled the wedding ring out of the box and whispered to A-Yuan, who was sweating profusely:

"Come on, let's exchange rings."

"After we exchange rings, we'll be husband and wife."

A Yuan: "..."

He resisted the urge to slap the goosebumps off his body and reached for the pigeon-egg ring in the ring box with trembling hands.

Damn it... why hasn't Lu Chusheng made a move yet...?

A Yuan was extremely anxious. He glanced at the players below the stage who looked sympathetic, and exchanged a look with Lan Ping and Qi Weitao, who were sitting below with pale faces.

Lanping's hands were clenched tightly, and large beads of cold sweat slid down her spine, making her gasp involuntarily.

"...Everything will be alright..."

Qi Weitao looked at her and asked quietly, "A Yuan is just getting married, he should be safe for now."

All the players present knew that if "Madam" really had to be tortured and killed while pregnant... then A-Yuan, as a man, should be the "safest" person right now...

But nobody wants this kind of security.

After all, it's just a hypothetical situation... What if A-Yuan were to die the most tragically among them?

No one can predict what will happen until it does.

In the end, A Yuan and Mr. Xiao exchanged wedding rings. As he reached out his hand and Mr. Xiao slipped the ring onto his finger, a malicious and cold gaze slowly fixed on him.

It was neither the butler nor Mr. Xiao.

A Yuan couldn't help but turn his head and meet the gaze of the young master in the audience, who was staring at him with a gloomy face.

The moment their eyes met, A Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

An inexplicable fear enveloped him, and the illusion of impending death made his movements stiff as he helped Mr. Xiao put on the ring.

Fortunately, the young master didn't stare at him for too long.

Because of Yu Shijiu.

For some reason, Yu Shijiu slowly walked to the young master's side, raised his hand and patted the other's shoulder, with an expression that said "I understand you".

"Are you angry?"

"Do you feel like the bride has stolen Mr. Xiao's attention from you?"

"Don't you think the bride looks like an eyesore?"

Young Master: “…”

He turned his head to the side with a gloomy expression, and gave Yu Shijiu a forced smile:

“It wasn’t just the bride; other people also stole my father’s attention from me.”

"?"

Yu Shijiu stared at him in disbelief and said:

"Who else? No one else, right? Are you talking about my sister? Ah, that's right, after all, she's also Mr. Xiao's daughter, so she'll definitely take away some of Mr. Xiao's attention..."

The boy's incessant chatter irritated the young master, who couldn't help but shove his arm away and hissed:

I'm talking about you!

"?"

Yu Shijiu was even more shocked now. He pointed to himself incredulously and blinked, saying:

"What does this have to do with me! I didn't call Mr. Xiao 'father'."

Young Master: “…”

After a moment of thought, the young master's not-so-bright brain finally came to the answer, "That's right," and his irritable face softened considerably.

The young lady sitting in the chair not far away glanced over, her brows furrowing slightly as she looked at the young master standing with Yu Shijiu.

"If you ask me," Yu Shijiu said earnestly, seemingly oblivious to the occasional glances directed at her by her mistress:

"The bride is just someone who can keep your father company. If you really want to have a good relationship with Mr. Xiao, it has to be your sister."

Yu Shijiu continued to sow discord relentlessly, finally letting out a sigh:

"Miss seems much smarter than you. Mr. Xiao probably prefers a smarter lady."

Young Master: “…”

As expected, the young master got angry. His face, which had just calmed down, instantly became distorted, and he kept saying that he was his father's most beloved child.

To be honest, it sounds a bit scary.

As the young master spoke, he began to distort the truth, and strange black thorns seemed to spread from his eyes again.

After concealing his achievements and exchanging a "friendly" glance with the young lady, Yu Shijiu found a table with cakes on it, sat down, and began to feast.

The players nearby, who had absolutely no appetite, were speechless.

Meanwhile, the young lady, who had been glared at fiercely by the young master several times, thought: "?"

She looked at the young master, who was clearly displeased with her, and felt that something was off.

Did he realize that I was deliberately lying to him?

The young lady quickly dismissed this point.

My brother is clearly a hot-tempered and brainless person, how could he possibly have come up with those ideas on his own?

After all, aren't they the next owners of this villa?

How can you let others divide your property and house?

If her brother was unwilling, she naturally was unwilling too.

Thinking of this, the young lady trembled all over. Looking at Mr. Xiao on the stage, who was already holding hands with his new "stepmother" and kissing each other's cheeks, she felt a chill run through her entire body.

My father wasn't a good person either.

Did he already know what his brother had done?

But he didn't stop it... not even—

"The wedding is now over."

The old housekeeper's voice interrupted the young lady's chaotic thoughts. She smiled and said to the players below the stage:

"Please have something to eat, and after the final dance, you can all go back to your rooms to rest."

The players breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Someone whispered, "It seems the wedding really is fine; the problem is the continued torture and murder of the 'Madam'..."

"But how do I pass the level?"

One player looked grim: "We haven't seen a single sign of clearing the game yet... Do you think it's possible we have to be chosen as 'Ladies' one by one before we can clear it?"

"..."

This is, to say the least, a very bold guess.

Liu Yao thought the player who made that comment must be mentally ill.

"Sigh, I've realized that there are always people who think they're pretty smart, but actually their brains are just a complete mess."

Wang Han: "..."

Wang Han quickly covered his girlfriend's mouth to stop her from talking nonsense and apologized to the player who turned around after hearing what he said.

"...What are you apologizing for?"

Liu Yao muttered something, but didn't say anything more.

She's just too annoyed.

Frustrated that she hadn't seen any sign of clearing the level yet—she had assumed the wedding that night wouldn't be peaceful.

Surprisingly, things really did calm down...

Just as Liu Yao was pulling her boyfriend away from there, she suddenly heard a painful scream.

Liu Yao: "?"
