Journey to the End of the Night Chapter 1576 - 961: Picking Up the Golden Goblet, Kneeling on the Cloud Carpet

"Since all of you show such earnestness, does it mean you are prepared to accept any condition I propose?"

The elegantly composed Mu Yunye offered a slight smile and stated, "Provided it does not contravene the Heavenly Dao, if the Third Miss has any wishes, I shall endeavor to fulfill them."

Fang Geyu swiftly downed her wine, her eyes bright as she looked at him and inquired with a smile, "So, you wouldn't object if I were to keep a male consort?"

The declaration was astonishing!

Such a bold and direct request, causing a visible shift in the expressions of the hopeful suitors at the banquet.

Even Fang You's mouth twitched, fighting the urge to reprimand her.

"What preposterousness are you uttering! It seems your Father has indulged you too much over the years!!"

Before Fang You could suffer further embarrassment, it was important to note that, with the exception of Ji Xinnian, all others present were scions of Immortals from the Upper Pure Immortal Realm.

If these proud individuals had not genuinely intended to seek marriage into Shifang City, why would they have stooped to descend into this mortal plane?

Yet, before even selecting a husband, she openly declared her intention to keep a male consort.

Was this not akin to profoundly disrespecting and humiliating these noble immortal offspring?

How could such presumptuousness be tolerated!

Indeed, the previously tranquil atmosphere at the table began to ripple with unease. The esteemed suitors knitted their brows, their expressions gradually darkening, as if deeply insulted.

They had traveled here to offer marriage proposals; agreeing to wed into Shifang City was already a significant concession on their part.

Who could have foreseen such an astonishing demand?

This certainly was not the Demon Realm, so did she fancy herself a sovereign empress of the Demon World, requiring three thousand consorts to be at her beck and call?

Utterly audacious!

They, who were born of noble immortals, could not possibly permit themselves to be disgraced as mere consorts.

In stark contrast to the sons of Daoist Immortals, who were radiating palpable anger, Mu Yunye's handsome visage remained serene, his eyes as placid as a still lake.

He smiled without a trace of artifice, inclined his head slightly, and declared, "The Third Miss is the one my heart desires. Should I be fortunate enough to earn the Third Miss’s affection and fulfill my deepest wish, Yunye pledges his utmost devotion. Whatever the Third Miss desires in life, I shall endeavor to grant it for you, one by one."

This declaration instantly brought a hush to the table.

Even the typically unruly Situ Ye appeared as if a phantom had seized his breath, stifling any potential outburst of resentment.

This prodigy of the Immortal World, the son of a Golden Immortal, Mu Yunye, displayed such profound sincerity and magnanimity.

Despite his esteemed status, he betrayed no hint of displeasure or anger.

How could any of them possibly continue to make a scene?

Situ Ye felt a surge of suppressed fury and frustration, inwardly chastising himself for his previous impulsiveness.

Perhaps, in his haste, he had inadvertently paved the way for Mu Yunye, alongside those other fools.

Setting aside whether the Third Miss of the Fang family would truly insist on keeping male consorts after marrying an offspring of a noble immortal.

Mu Yunye's heartfelt declaration alone was potent enough to capture Fang Geyu's favor.

If this trend continued, whoever made the decisive move would undoubtedly be Mu Yunye.

In response to Mu Yunye's astonishingly accommodating words, Fang Geyu's expression remained impassive.

She offered a calm smile, her fingers lightly gripping the empty wine vessel, allowing it to slip silently from her delicate white fingertips, landing without a sound upon the luxurious, thick carpet.

"I acknowledge Immortal Lord Mu’s sincerity, but to marry me, sincerity alone is insufficient."

Mu Yunye's gaze was steady and assured, "I am willing to face any trial you set forth, Third Miss."

Witnessing this exchange, Situ Ye, concealed in the periphery, nervously clenched his fist.

The palpable atmosphere between the two clearly indicated that this Third Miss of the Fang family was gradually developing an inclination towards Mu Yunye.

Throughout the entire banquet, Mu Yunye had remained largely silent, speaking only sparingly, yet each utterance captivated the lady immensely.

And this Fang Third Miss, too, during the feast, displayed a capricious spirit and made startling pronouncements.

However, Situ Ye observed keenly that this seemingly detached Fang Third Miss had, from the very beginning, shown no genuine interest in anyone.

Even her engagement in conversation seemed purely at her whim, and she had certainly never exchanged more than three sentences in genuine discourse with any individual.

Economical yet remarkably discerning.

Yet, she had already conversed with Mu Yunye for considerably more than three sentences.

It appeared the status of a Golden Immortal's son held an irresistible allure, even for someone in Shifang City.

The handsome 'Rong Lijun' had shifted his position to Baili An's table shortly after the feast commenced, discreetly dropping shelled walnut kernels into his palm and consuming them one by one.

"I say, you foolish feline, your cherished eldest young miss is on the verge of being captured and cooked, yet you idly crack walnuts. Aren't you worried she'll be unfaithful to you?"

Baili An cast a side-eye at her. "Can't even the walnuts silence you?"

Ning Feiyan shook her head, remarking, "Based on my extensive experience in winning over women, the eldest young miss will next expect Mu Yunye to retrieve the fallen wine cup for her.

Mu Yunye, ever compliant, will pick it up with consideration, showcasing his gentlemanly bearing and grace.

The eldest young miss will then offer a subtle smile, gently pushing the wine cup forward, an unspoken gesture of camaraderie.

With this scenario unfolding, the connection between them will inevitably deepen, and tonight, Mu Yunye will be the sole individual permitted close proximity to the eldest young miss.
