I Just Want To Follow The Plot!

Arc 1.11

The four of them sunk into absolute silence, with the two people that are hugging completely unaware about the fact that they were caught red handed in the act.

"W-What are you two doing?", Nan XiSheng finally managed to ask with great difficulty.

Zero and Shi Lanhua simultaneously froze. At the speed of a turtle, they slowly turned towards the other two figures and made a face similar to a wife that had just been caught cheating by her husband.

Why is it that they suddenly feel as if they have a guilty conscience?

The two of them were siblings for gods sake!

"Ahh! You came just at the right time! FengFeng and I just took our relationship to the next level!" (Became even bigger sis/bro-cons)

"Next level?" (Lovers?)

"Yup! I'm so happy!" (I'm glad FengFeng won't stop me from marrying Zhelan!)

"I... still ended up losing, eh? I guess there really isn't anything I can do, so I just want to wish the both of you a very happy life in the future. Liu Feng you bastard, if I ever see you make my dear Lanhua cry, I'll hack you into a thousand pieces!"

"O-okay... wait what?" There seems to be a misunderstanding here? I'm supposed to be the one saying those words, not you!

"I already made a heavenly vow that if I make any form of intimate contact with people aside from Lanhua, I'll be struck by lightning until my body decays, so you really have to treat her well!"

"..." My future brother-in-law... we don't seem to be on the same page here..?

Just as Zero was about to say something, Nan XiSheng, who was standing at the side, suddenly interjected, "Why did you choose him?"

Shi Lanhua: "???"

"Senior Sister Shi, why did you choose Senior Brother Liu over Brother Yang?"

Shi Lanhua and Zero: "?!?"

Aiyo, protagonist ah, what in the world are you talking about?

Something feels really off... are you sure we're discussing the same topic..? Because it feels like we're light years apart!

"What do you mean by choosing FengFeng over---"

Shi Lanhua's words were cut off by a slightly impatient, yet melodic voice.

The group whipped their heads around only to come face to face with the awkward gazes from the rest of the participants, who look like they were watching some kind of melodramatic romance play.

"Ahem! Are you four going to be dilly-dallying your lives away over there, or will the two contestants surnamed Yang and Liu get their asses up here?! Kids these days, don't even have the slightest virtue!"

With faces flushed in embarrassment, Yang Zhelan and Zero quickly rushed up onto the stage while attempting to retain their elegance and repair their images as the reliable senior brothers, not that anyone had such an impression of them in the first place. 

"Since everything is ready, I will be asking the two of you beast tamers to try and get little wyrmy behind me to submit and pledge it's loyalty to you. If neither succeeds, then both are eliminated. Are you prepared? Please start anytime you'd like!"

When the last word was dropped, both Zero and Yang Zhelan started to plan out ways to have this huge creature to submit without agitating it or letting it backfire midway.

Truthfully, Zero could just get it to submit by exerting his God-leveled cultivation, but that would give him away to this mysterious Lady Liu and that is the last thing he wants to occur.
