I Am Overlord

Chapter 1310: Two Options

The people from the Yu Clan were still staying in their camp. They were currently in a discussion with the Di Clan about their cooperation. Seated on the main seat was Yu Huayan. Seated around her were Yu Caidie, Di Mie, Di Chuan, and some other people. This was the first meeting between Yu Caidie and Di Mie. Just this one meeting was enough to fill Di Mie's eyes with desire when he looked at Yu Caidie.

Not only was he attracted by her good looks, but he was also attracted to her phoenix blood. He greatly needed someone with her physique. When performing dual-cultivation with such a person, his cultivation would grow even faster. He made a firm resolution that he would definitely take Yu Caidie as his wife.

Against Di Mie's invasive eyes, Yu Caidie shut her eyes and ignored him. Apart from Xiang Shaoyun, she had no other man in her heart.

"Queen Yu, have you come to a decision regarding the marriage between the two clans? If you can't make a decision, we can also head over to your clan and talk more. We of the Di Clan are sincere in our cooperation," said Di Chuan.

"Back then, you promised to come with first place as your betrothal gift. You seem to have failed?" said Yu Huayan nonchalantly.

Di Chuan's face twitched as he said, "Our prince was careless. However, that ranking doesn't matter. Our prince is someone who will enter the Heaven Battling Realm, becoming a Saint. After entering the Saintforce Realm, he will definitely be able to take that final step forward. After taking that step, he will have boundless prospects. The future is more important, isn't it?"

"That's right. I'm already prepared to break through at any time. I'm merely waiting to build a better foundation. After entering the Saintforce Realm, a breakthrough is inevitable," said Di Mie confidently.

"The Heaven Battling Realm is akin to a wall separating the elite cultivators from the normal cultivators. Only after taking that step would one be able to aim for an even higher height in the path of cultivation. Sure, Xiang Shaoyun has taken first place, but he is still only a fourth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. How long will it take him to reach the Heaven Battling Realm? He might not even live that long," said Di Chuan, his voice emanating a faint killing intent.

"If you dare touch him, I swear to one day destroy your entire clan!" Yu Caidie suddenly opened her eyes and snapped.

As she spoke, she emanated an aura that greatly resembled the aura of a Saint, shocking everyone present. She was only a fifth-stage Soul Foundation Realm cultivator. With such a big gap between her cultivation level and the Heaven Battling Realm, her powerful aura was proof of how strong her foundation was.

Just because both her and Devil Concubine had not entered the top-100 did not mean that they were weak. The two had merely been too preoccupied with searching for Xiang Shaoyun instead of hunting devils. Otherwise, the two would have been able to easily enter the top-100.

"How can you speak like that, Caidie?" berated Yu Huayan.

Yu Caidie made her stand clear, "In this life, only Xiang Shaoyun will be my husband. I'm his woman. Nobody can force me to act against my will!"

She then stood up and moved to leave the tent.

At this time, someone entered and said, "Caidie, don't be stubborn. The clan has decided that your marriage with Di Mie will proceed. Do not disobey the clan."

The newcomer was a slightly chubby middle-aged man with long narrow eyes. In his hand was a scroll of paper that he was carrying like an imperial edict. Hanging on his face was the bright smile of someone flushed with success.

He was Yu Youcheng, an uncle in the clan. His status wasn't too high in the clan, but it wasn't too low either. This time, he had made a great contribution to the clan as the marriage between the two clans was his handiwork.

Following behind Yu Youcheng was another person. That person was from the Di Clan, someone called Di Ganning. From his confident gait and the respect Di Chuan was showing him, it was clear he was someone with high status in the Di Clan.

Yu Caidie completely ignored Yu Youcheng. She stepped aside and continued heading toward the exit.

Yu Youcheng stood before Yu Caidie and questioned her while waving the scroll in his hand, "Yu Caidie, are you going to disobey the clan?"

"You're right. I'm disobeying the clan. From today onward, I'm leaving the clan," said Yu Caidie resolutely.

In her past life, she had compromised with the clan. In this life, she wouldn't repeat the same mistake. She would rather leave the clan than compromise. Everyone's expression changed upon hearing her words.

The old woman from the Yu Clan hurriedly said, "Young miss, do not say such words out of anger!"

"I'll decide on my own marriage. Don't even think of interfering," replied Yu Caidie unyieldingly.

"That's not up to you. Arrest her! I refuse to believe you can disobey the clan," said Yu Youcheng unhappily.

"Hold it. Let me talk with her," said Yu Huayan.

She stood up, walked up to Yu Caidie, and said, "Caidie, this is not the time for you to be willful. I'll give you two options. First, leave the clan as you said. Both you and Xiang Shaoyun will then be hunted by the Yu Clan and the Di Clan. Second, have Xiang Shaoyun fight Di Mie. The loser shall give up. What do you think?"

"No. The patriarch's command is already here. We don't need to waste any time with such senseless competition," Yu Youcheng disapproved.

Yu Huayan ignored Yu Youcheng. Instead, she looked at Di Mie and said, "Di Mie, if you're really sincere in taking Caidie as your wife, show some sincerity. She likes Xiang Shaoyun. If you can trample over Xiang Shaoyun, even if you obtain her person, you won't obtain her heart. What do you think?"

Di Mie met her gaze and smiled. "You're right. As a man, I should fight for my woman. I'm willing to accept the second option. I believe I'm the one fated for Caidie, not some random unknown person."

"Prince, there is no need for that," Di Ganning said.

"That's right. Both clans have already agreed to the marriage. She won't be able to refuse," Yu Youcheng agreed.

"You need to have confidence in me," said Di Mie as he flung his hair with a confident look.

"We're confident in you, but this is a waste of time," Di Ganning said.

"Caidie, have you made up your mind? Since Di Mie has agreed to fight for you, I believe Xiang Shaoyun is also not a coward. What do you think?" said Yu Huayan.

Yu Caidie was conflicted. Neither she nor Xiang Shaoyun had recovered their peak strength from their previous life. In fact, they were far weaker than their peak. If she chose violence, both she and Xiang Shaoyun would be endangered.

"If you want a fight, let's fight. I, Xiang Shaoyun, have never been afraid of nobodies," Xiang Shaoyun's voice rang out from outside the tent.historical
