Chapter 411: The Popular Ye Wenxin
For the first time, Ye Wenxin heard about such a contest in this world, leading her to believe the organizer might be the mysterious man she sought-and perhaps, like her, he was from Earth.
However, she was puzzled by the contest's sudden announcement upon her arrival.
"Why is there no word about such a big event in your village?" Ye Wenxin asked, perplexed. The flustered girl before her blushed and stammered, "My name is Mo Ziqian. I'm of marriageable age, and my family is anxious, so..."
The revelation dawned on Ye Wenxin, and she couldn't resist pinching the girl's cheek. Mo Ziqian, with her delicate features, didn't seem like someone who would struggle to find a suitor, making Ye Wenxin suspicious of deeper motives.
Mo Ziqian blushed at Ye Wenxin's teasing and suggested, "Maybe we shouldn't hold it. Why don't you come home with me, young master?"
Winking at Ye Wenxin, Mo Ziqian seemed genuinely interested in taking her home. Ye Wenxin smiled, "Sure, if you can lift me, I'll go with you."
With a gleam of excitement, the girl tried to pull Ye Wenxin, but found her immovable. Exhausted and flushed, Mo Ziqian panted, "You're too much, young master."
Ye Wenxin laughed heartily, "Since you can't move me, I'll take my leave."
She waved her fan with flair, intending to make a stylish exit. But as she turned, she found herself surrounded by women, sleeves rolled up, looking predatory.
Mo Ziqian laughed, "Since I can't carry him, let's all lend a hand and take my good fortune home. I'm willing to share."
Encouraged by Mo Ziqian's promise, the women surged forward. Ye Wenxin dodged easily, checking the status of the Peach Blossom Chain's charm. Despite having deactivated it, the women's infatuation with her "Ye Liangchen" persona was intense.
Yet, their fervor seemed orchestrated, as if someone was behind it all. Realizing this, Ye Wenxin ceased resisting, allowing herself to be captured by the women.
"Release that young master!" A man's voice interrupted, trying to stop the women from taking Ye Wenxin. She wore a puzzled expression as the women glanced disdainfully at the man, finding him an obstacle.
"What do we do? Do we take him too?"
"Of course, maybe someone will like him."
The women chattered, while the man seemed eager for the women to take him along, as if it were a grand opportunity. Ye Wenxin watched, bewildered, as the man struck a pose and said, "I'm less trouble. Just three meals a day."
The women exchanged amused looks, smiling. "Alright, let's take him too."
One of the women fetched a rope from a basket, tying the man's hands and leading him away. He appeared delighted, as if being captured by the women was a stroke of fortune.
Ye Wenxin grew increasingly confused, unable to converse with the man as the women carried her off, watching helplessly as Xiao Zhang remained oblivious, engrossed in conversation with some older women.
"So tired."
"If you're tired, let me do it. You know how many sisters are waiting."
