After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 13:

Chapter 13: Husband, I Even Brought My Dowry

“Hmph!”

Zhao Lingxuan, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Fire, let out a cold snort. “Since that’s how it is, let’s settle this without using any spiritual power. The loser leaves and never returns—how about it?”

“Fine. Who’s afraid of whom?”

Lin Wanqing, the Holy Maiden of Extreme Ice, agreed without hesitation.

“Hand-to-hand combat? Sounds fun.”

Yu Siya, the Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden, also didn’t refuse.

The two women finally let go of Xia Feng and slowly stepped forward, forming a triangular standoff with Zhao Lingxuan.

Everyone present was dumbfounded, watching three top-tier Holy Maidens about to brawl over Xia Feng.

Seriously now—could you not mind your image?

You’re top-tier Holy Maidens!

All this over one man? Was it really necessary?

There were countless men in the world, including many Holy Sons in the Great Xia Empire. Why were they fighting over Xia Feng like this?

If word got out, how could those young prodigies who dreamt of winning a Holy Maiden’s heart even live with themselves?

Liu Shiyu’s expression turned even darker as she watched the three Holy Maidens, prepared to fight like ordinary women over Xia Feng. A nameless fire of rage burned within her.

For a moment, it even made the pain from the Heavenly Fire’s roasting feel less unbearable.

She stared at Xia Feng through the wall of fire. Even though her eyes were burning with pain and tears were streaming down, she didn’t look away.

She wanted to see clearly what it was about this so-called “trash” she thought she knew so well, that made three top-tier Holy Maidens behave so shamelessly.

“Xia Feng! What have you been hiding from me?”

She roared inwardly, her heart consumed by resentment and fury.

Xia Feng didn’t notice her. He was looking at the three top-tier Holy Maidens about to fight for him, feeling an odd sense of pride and vanity in his heart.

Whatever their motives, at this very moment, he was the center of attention, and the Xia family was basking in the spotlight.

“Uh… Siya, Wanqing, and Miss Zhao… how about we sit down and talk this over calmly? There’s no need for a fight—it’ll just ruin the mood.”

Xia Feng cautiously tried to mediate.

“If husband doesn’t like fighting, then let’s not fight,”

Yu Siya giggled and gracefully stepped back from the battlefield.

“Alright, I’ll listen to husband too,”

Lin Wanqing nodded and also returned to Xia Feng’s side.

“Siya? Wanqing? So close already?”

Zhao Lingxuan was momentarily stunned. In a flash, she appeared right in front of Xia Feng, pouting and teary-eyed. “Husband, why do you call them so intimately, but call me so formally? You can call me Xiaoxuan too…”

Everyone around was speechless again. Just moments ago, she was fierce and dominant. Now, the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Fire was crying?

“Uh… Miss Zhao, don’t cry…”

Xia Feng was completely at a loss. Seeing Zhao Lingxuan’s teary face, he actually started to feel guilty.

Damn it!

I don’t even know her!

These top-tier Holy Maidens were all ridiculously talented, incredibly powerful, stunningly beautiful, and masters at seduction.

And worst of all—he couldn’t stand it when girls cried. Once they did, he had no idea how to respond.

What he didn’t know was… these women had lived with Xia Feng for a thousand years in their shared dream world. Of course they knew everything about his personality.

“Wuwu… I’m still just a ‘Miss Zhao’ to you…”

Zhao Lingxuan looked even more heartbroken, her tears glistening and ready to fall.

“…Xiaoxuan.”

Xia Feng finally gave in and called out gently.

“Yay!”

Zhao Lingxuan immediately broke into a radiant smile. The tears vanished instantly.

That level of emotional control left everyone around utterly stunned.

Even Yu Siya and Lin Wanqing couldn’t help but roll their eyes. Still, they had to admit—Zhao Lingxuan’s acting skills were top-notch.

“Husband, when do you plan to marry me? Since so many people are here today, why not take this chance and marry me now?”

Zhao Lingxuan grinned playfully.

“That’s way too direct!”

“The Heavenly Fox Holy Maiden only asked Xia Feng to hold an engagement banquet. But the Heavenly Fire Holy Maiden wants to go straight to the wedding—skipping the engagement entirely!”

Everyone was speechless again.

“Why should he marry you? If he’s marrying anyone, it’s me,”

Yu Siya snorted coldly.

“Ridiculous. Husband will marry me,”

Lin Wanqing also refused to back down.

The crowd rubbed their foreheads. Here we go again… more jealous drama.

“Hmph. I’ve already brought my dowry,”

Zhao Lingxuan said flatly.

“I brought mine too.”

“You think you’re the only one with a dowry? I have one as well.”

Yu Siya and Lin Wanqing both sneered.

“What the hell?! They all brought their dowries?!”

“This level of throwing themselves at him… I’ve never seen this even among normal girls. And they’re top-tier Holy Maidens—three of them! Damn it, my worldview is collapsing!”

Everyone was shocked once more.

Xia Feng stood there helplessly. In both his past and present lives, he had never experienced anything like this. He had no idea how to handle it.

Thankfully, his mother stepped in at just the right moment.

“Young ladies, you’ve been standing so long—why not sit and have a cup of water while we talk?”

Madam Xia smiled warmly as she looked at each girl, clearly delighted.

These three girls were perfect—whether in strength, status, beauty, or figure.

Any one of them would make a wonderful daughter-in-law.

“Alright, Auntie.”

The three women, who had just been arguing, all smiled sweetly at Madam Xia and softened their voices instantly.

After all, this was their future mother-in-law—they had to make a good impression.

“Good, good, come, have a seat!”

Madam Xia beamed as she led the three girls to the nearest table.

She picked up the teapot, ready to pour them some tea.

“Auntie, let me do that.”

Yu Siya quickly took the teapot from her and poured her a cup.

“Auntie, please have a seat.”

Lin Wanqing, who was a step slower, immediately helped Madam Xia into her chair.

Seeing this, Zhao Lingxuan quickly grabbed the cup that Yu Siya had just poured, handed it to Madam Xia with both hands, and said sweetly, “Auntie, please enjoy your tea.”

“Good, good!”

Madam Xia was overwhelmed with joy. These were three top-tier Holy Maidens! Who else in the world could enjoy being served by them all at once?

Xia Feng’s father, Xia Feng himself, and everyone else were completely stunned, not even knowing how to react.

Inside the wall of fire, Liu Tianxiang and his wife, soaked in sweat, gritted their teeth so hard they almost shattered.

BOOM!

Suddenly, the clear blue sky darkened as thick clouds gathered. Thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed—like the end of the world had arrived.

“What’s going on?”

Everyone turned toward the restaurant windows, confused by the sudden change in weather.

Yu Siya, Lin Wanqing, and Zhao Lingxuan all furrowed their brows at the same time.

Another one… coming for their husband.
