My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 917 - 918 Long Qingyue

"Your Highness the First Prince, Your Highness the Second Prince, the identities of the perpetrators have been confirmed! They are Long Mie of the Black Dragon Clan and Ye Wudao of the Sea Beasts. Both are currently participating in the Dragon Clan Grand Tournament!" A subordinate reported.

"What, these two are participating in the Dragon Clan Grand Tournament?" The Second Prince frowned and said, "According to the rules of Dragon Island, it’s strictly forbidden to attack competitors during the tournament! Violators shall be executed without mercy!"

"Haha, mere insignificant troublemakers! No need for tricks. During tomorrow’s tournament, just kill them both in the open!" The First Prince toyed with the ring on his finger and ordered, "Arrange for the referee to pit them against strong competitors!"

"Understood!" The subordinate accepted the order.

...

Not far from the Heavenly Dragon Restaurant.

Long Hao nervously said, "Long Mie, my big bro, Ye Wudao, my second bro, you two have offended the Third Prince. It’s better not to stay on Dragon Island any longer—run quickly!"

Ye Wudao and Long Mie exchanged a knowing smile.

"If we were to leave, what do you think we’d take with us?" Long Mie asked with a grin.

"What?" Long Hao asked curiously.

"Of course, we’d take the arrogant Third Prince’s head!" Long Mie’s eyes radiated a fierce killing intent.

Hiss!

Upon hearing Long Mie’s words, Long Hao’s body trembled, not daring to utter even a single word...

Meanwhile, the incident at the Heavenly Dragon Restaurant quickly spread across Dragon Island, causing a massive uproar!

"That guy Long Mie actually dared to attack the Third Prince—he must not know his place!"

"Tomorrow’s tournament will surely be a nightmare for him!"

"If I were him, I’d skip the competition altogether and just flee."

...

The next day.

It’s the second day of the Dragon Clan Grand Tournament!

More and more spectators flocked to Dragon Island!

Due to the overwhelming crowd, Dragon Island even began selling tickets at high prices to discourage attendance!

The result? Nearly 200,000 spectators packed Dragon Island, leaving no room to breathe!

Five hundred Spirit Crystals per ticket!

On just the second day, Dragon Island had already raked in 10 million Spirit Crystals in ticket revenue!

A staggering fortune!

At that moment, a solemn voice echoed;

"The Dragon King arrives!"

As the Dragon King descended, every spectator on site knelt in devout worship!

"Rise!" The Dragon King said calmly.

The tens of thousands of spectators stood up, and sharp-eyed individuals noticed a stunningly beautiful woman in an exquisite golden gauze gown standing next to the Dragon King.

She was as cold as ice, her face pristine, with golden locks cascading smoothly down her shoulders like a waterfall. Her elegance was unmatched—slender waist, shapely curves, and a pair of perfectly proportioned long legs that evoked the grace of a pale winter moon, distant and untouchable!

"Hiss, this is the legendary daughter of the Dragon King!"

"Long Qingyue, the Palace Mistress!"

"Renowned as the most beautiful woman Dragon Island has seen in a millennium!"

"Wow, she’s stunning! If I had the chance to admire her beauty, I’d willingly lose a hundred years of my life!"

"A hundred years? What nonsense! I’d give up a thousand years!"

"If I could savor her charm, I wouldn’t mind dying tomorrow!" One after another, men bewitched by Long Qingyue’s beauty grew utterly frenzied!

With Long Qingyue’s appearance, the atmosphere on-site reached its peak!

"Is this the Palace Mistress of Dragon Island?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"Indeed, she’s breathtaking! If you claim the top rank, you’ll have the chance to marry her!" Long Mie chuckled.

"Certainly not a woman of the mortal realm!" Ye Wudao couldn’t help but marvel. Though he had admired countless beauties in his life—his main wife Su Yueli, the treasured sisters of the Xu family, the young idol Xia Shiqi, and the ethereal fairy Mo Feixuan, seemingly born from a painting—

All were top-tier women!

Yet Long Qingyue could stand shoulder to shoulder with them!

If judged solely by her icy demeanor and regal grace,

She surpassed them all!

"What, getting tempted, Ye?" Long Mie teased in a low voice, grinning slyly, "Hehe, struck by temptation, why not act on it?"

Ye Wudao quickly waved off the idea, "I wouldn’t dare! If I brought another woman home, Yueli would kill me outright!"

"Haha!" Long Mie laughed aloud.

The scene shifted, showing the referees’ table.

"Dragon King, Palace Mistress, please enjoy some tea," the Grand Elder offered two cups of tea.

The Dragon King took a sip and noticed his daughter Long Qingyue’s low spirits. He immediately inquired, "My precious daughter, what’s wrong? Are you bothered by the noise?"

"It’s simply dull," Long Qingyue replied coldly.

"Should the match begin, Dragon King?" the Grand Elder asked.

"Match? My precious little girl thinks it’s dull. To hell with the match!" The Dragon King, acting as a doting father, declared, "We might as well cancel it altogether!"

The surrounding Grand Elder and Dragon Clan dignitaries were utterly dumbfounded!

"D-Dragon King, that is absolutely out of the question! There’s too much at stake..."

"Indeed, our Dragon Clan is a prestigious noble clan. Every word and deed represents our standing! This cannot be done rashly!"

The Dragon King frowned briefly before turning to his goddess-like daughter by his side. Speaking in an ingratiating tone, he said, "Dearest daughter, how about watching just two matches?"

"Dull!" Long Qingyue uttered only this word before gracefully rising to leave.

"Wait, dear daughter!" The Dragon King quickly caught hold of her, saying, "I promise you’ll find it engaging! With so many robust young men from the Dragon Clan, surely one of them will catch your eye!"

After coaxing Long Qingyue, the Dragon King’s demeanor changed faster than flipping a book. He harshly glared at the referees, led by the Grand Elder, and bellowed, "Are you all deaf and blind? The Dragon Clan Grand Tournament is so dull—who would want to watch this crap! I’m giving you one incense stick’s worth of time—no, one cup of tea—to brainstorm something novel! Fail to come up with anything, and every one of you will have your wages fined tenfold!"

"What, only one incense stick’s worth of time?"

"Failing to come up with something means tenfold wage fines!"

"This is way too harsh!" A group of referees, like ants on a hot pan, wracked their brains.

Meanwhile, on-site tension mounted!

"What’s going on here—we’ve waited all this time, is there even going to be a match?"

"We paid a hefty price for these tickets to be here!"

"Will there be a match or not? We came from far away just to watch the Dragon Clan Grand Tournament!" The spectators were irritated and began shouting.

At this moment, the referees finished their discussion and reported their plan to the Dragon King, who gave his approval.

The Dragon Clan Grand Elder rose to announce, "Silence!"

The site fell quiet instantly.

"Urgent notice: By order of the Dragon King! The annual Dragon Clan Grand Tournament has become monotonous, and the Dragon King has grown weary of it. Thus, the rules of the tournament will be changed on the spot!" The Grand Elder declared.

"What, change the rules of the tournament?"

"What rules?" Many asked curiously.

The Grand Elder cleared his throat and continued, "The tournament will be changed to a cage elimination format with four iron cage arenas. All participants will be randomly assigned to these four arenas! Whoever survives to the end will be crowned arena champion and advance to the finals!"

Boom!

The entire audience erupted!

"Holy crap, cage matches?!"

"This is intense as hell!"

"The 500 Spirit Crystals I spent on these tickets were totally worth it!"

"Dragon King is the best!"

The nearly 200,000 spectators were in a frenzy of ecstasy! Some participants, however, appeared utterly crestfallen.

"My God, cage elimination matches are just too tough!"

"I hoped to make it to the top 100, but now it seems hopeless!"

On the other hand, top-tier competitors displayed confident grins.

"An interesting match!"

"I will undoubtedly prevail until the end!"

The Grand Elder announced, "All contestants, come forward to draw lots!"

Soon, hundreds of competitors stepped forward to draw their lot numbers.

"Ye, here’s hoping you and I don’t get assigned to the same arena. Otherwise, the pressure on me will be unbearable!" Long Mie said tensely as he opened his lot and saw the number "2" inscribed.

"I’m in Arena Two. What about you, Ye?" Long Mie asked.

Ye Wudao opened his lot and revealed the number "4," saying with a smile, "I’m in Arena Four—we’re not paired together!"

Phew!

Long Mie let out a deep sigh of relief, his face lighting up with excitement. "Thank heavens! Haha, the semi-finals, here I come!"
