32 Fen Tang Route

"Can Contestant Jiang Chen make his way onto the stage?"

Jiang Chen walked slowly and gracefully towards Leng Shui before coming to a stop right in front of her.

"Contestant Jiang Chen, please shout the disciple's name that you would like to fight against."

"I wish to fight Miss Fen Tang."

-------------------------

Right after Jiang Chen went up to the stage, Fen Tang's heart felt like it has been thoroughly shot out by Cupid's arrow.

Seeing your ideal type isn't something that would happen every day and would make anyone go crazy, not to mention a teenage maiden.

Fen Tang contemplated on how to get to know more about Jiang Chen.

Even though Fen Tang had promised the winner of her tournament her hand in marriage. That hasn't been set in stone yet, so she's able to give some compensation instead.

Who would you rather choose: Someone who you have no emotional attachment to or someone who's your prince charming?

The moment Jiang Cheng called her name, Fen Tang's heart, as well as her mind, were seemed to stop for a second. Countless questions streamed through her mind as she tries to figure out what to do.

Did he just really just call on me!?!?

Does this mean he wants to marry me?!?

Please don't tell me I'm dreaming right now!?!

From an outsider's point of view, Fen Tang seemed to be trembling with her face down. The crowd murmured unrestrictedly at the sight.

"Uh oh, that boy angered Princess Tang."

"Poor kid, the princess is gonna skin him alive."

"This boy has my respect. He had the balls to confess to someone way out of his league."

"Too bad that he won't live long because of that."

Fen Tang was an inner core disciple of the Ice Moon Sect. Inner core disciples are one of the top groups of people in a sect. Most of them would either become elders or someone of a high rank one day.

Because of this and her high social status as a princess, she had many pursuers. Every single one of them, who dared to challenge her, was beaten up mercilessly by her fists. Even with all of that, Fen Tang still has many secret admirers.

"Disciple Fen Tang, please make your way on stage."

Fen Tang's ears and cheeks felt like they were on fire. She felt like she couldn't walk anymore as her legs were beginning to become weak. Countless of her fellow sisters were pushing her up onto the stage, hoping for another show.

Fen Tang walked up to Jiang Chen in a shy manner. She situated herself a few feet away from him where she could see his features better.

Every single aspect of her perfect husband was projected on the man in front of her. From the face to the fingertips, Jiang Chen was currently the embodiment of her perfect love.

If Fen Tang didn't have any self-control, she would have just pounced on Jiang Chen in front of the crowd right then and there.

At the same time, Jiang Chen looked at Fen Tang as she approaches him.

She currently looked nothing like the previous rich and haughty girl that he had met on the road. Fen Tang had a bashful face that didn't dare to look him directly in the eye. Her fingers keep on fidgeting as if she nervous about walking towards him.

Is having a pretty boy face that powerful?

If that's the case, then couldn't I just put on a pretty face and cajole every pretty lady in town?

Jiang Chen had a perverted thought for a moment before taking a bow and cupping his hands.

"I have admired Miss Tang for a long time, so I won't be holding back. I hope that Miss Tang doesn't hold grudge against me for this."

Smoke can almost be seen coming out from Fen Tang's ears.

"I ho...pe to... ha...ve a g...ood m...match, too."

Leng Shui looked at both of them before raising her hand high in the air.

"Since both contestants are here. I hereby announce the battle between Contestant Jiang Chen and Inner Disciple Fen Tang underway!"

Cheering radiated into the air from below the stage.

Jiang Chen got into a graceful battle position while Fen Tang just stood there, seeming as if she was paralyzed.

"I will make the first move, Miss Tang."

Jiang Chen sprinted towards Fen Tang and appeared in front of her face. Even though she locked eyes with him, it was enough to make Fen Tang bashful.

Jiang Chen took advantage of this momentary stun and swept his leg.

"Ah!"

Fen Tang lost balance and started to fall back. However, Jiang Chen was right behind her and carried in the princess carry.

"Haha! Nice one, boy!"

"Sweeping her off her feet, manly!"

Jiang Chen heard a shout from the crowd that stood out from the rest. When he looked at the source, a rich-looking woman was standing in front of the crowd.

"Fen Tang! Are you alright?"

Fen Tang looked over and spoke in a quiet voice.

"Aunty Tang..."

Aunt Tang made a shocked face as if she knew what Fen Tang was thinking.

Countless years of seeing Fen Tang growing has made Aunt Tang more proficient at reading what is on her mind. Looking at her facial expression, Aunt Tang knew that Fen Tang was lovestruck with the boy carrying her.

Immediately, Aunt Tang knew what to do at that moment.

"Contestant Jiang Chen, since you are profaning Fen Tang like this, how do you plan on compensating?"

Jiang Chen acted like he was contemplating for a while before speaking.

"Like this."

Jiang Chen helped Fen Tang on her feet and got on one knee while taking one of her hand. He stared at her for a bit before kissing her on the back of the hand.

"Miss Fen Tang, will you marry me?"

Jiang Chen's mind cringed while he was doing this. Making sure that he acted as much of a gentleman as possible was something Jiang Chen had difficulty doing even with the system's trait list.

Countless cheers and whistles filled the air after Jiang Chen said this. Fen Tang had a weird expression on her face before fainting into Jiang Chen's arms.
