Yang Xiao was sure this Wild Man King was just a childish old man, a real jokester.

The white-haired Wild Man King stood solemnly in the middle of the plaza on the flowerbed, with Ah Rui standing by his side.

Even Ah Rui didn't know why grandpa was suddenly looking everywhere for Ah Lang, wasn't she supposed to marry Yang Xiao? Could grandpa have changed his mind?

Ah Rui suddenly realized that having such a jokester grandpa was truly a deep tragedy!

"Grandpa, grandpa, are you confused?"

Ah Rui whispered to remind him.

Jokester grandpa completely ignored her, yelling continuously:

"Where's Ah Lang? Ah, this child, I was just about to announce the groom, why isn't Ah Lang here?"

The Wild People in the plaza immediately burst into laughter,

"Great Chief, just announce that the groom is Ah Lang and that will do."

"Once you announce it, Ah Lang will show up."

...

People around also started looking around to see if Ah Lang was by their side.

Ah Lang was a standout among the young generation of Wild People, well-known, many people recognized him.

Just then, a figure dashed from the back of the crowd like lightning,

"Here, here, here, I'm here, Great Chief, Ah Rui..."

The one who flew in was Ah Lang.

Ah Lang floated down to the wedding podium in the center of the plaza, glanced at Ah Rui excitedly, and bowed to the Wild Man King:

"Great Chief, Ah Lang is here."

The Wild Man King squinted at Ah Lang, patted his shoulder with his hand, and said:

"Good, very robust, hmm, Ah Lang, I know, you and Ah Rui have grown up together since childhood, you've always liked Ah Rui,

last year you even had your father come to me to ask for her hand in marriage, I told you to wait,

now, you don't have to wait,"

Someone below teased:

"You can enter the bridal chamber tonight, haha, no need to wait."

Everyone laughed.

Ah Rui stood aside, her face extremely embarrassed, not that she couldn't handle these crude jokes, but she was worried grandpa might suddenly decide to marry her off to Ah Lang.

Anxious, she kept making eyes at grandpa, but he completely ignored her.

Once the Wild Man King decided to marry Ah Rui to Ah Lang, she would just have to resign herself to fate.

The Wild Man King chuckled and said:

"You don't have to wait now, because you no longer have a chance,"

Ah Lang: "..."

"Now I announce, I am marrying off my beloved granddaughter to,"

The Wild Man King paused again and looked at Yang Xiao not far in front of him, and gestured,

"Yang Xiao, come here."

Yang Xiao felt his scalp tingle, this didn't feel like a wedding, it was more like walking to the execution ground, extremely awkward.

Ah Bao beside him gave Yang Xiao a push, pushing him out of the crowd.

Under the eyes of everyone, Yang Xiao involuntarily walked to the side of the Wild Man King.

The Wild Man King chuckled, took Yang Xiao's hand with his right hand and Ah Rui's hand with his left, and lifted them together.

"I announce, Ah Rui is married to, Yang Xiao!"

Buzz!

The whole crowd's minds buzzed, silence fell on the scene.

More than a thousand people stared at Yang Xiao, not knowing what kind of monster Yang Xiao was?

Ah Bao stared at Yang Xiao, totally stupefied, and after dozens of seconds, Ah Bao finally exploded in anger, bellowing:

"I don't accept this!"

Standing just a few meters away from Ah Bao, Yang Xiao could clearly feel Ah Bao's rage, and the killing aura radiating from him.

Of course, with the Barbarian King between them, Ah Lang could only furiously glare at Yang Xiao, although he really wanted to rush over and tear him to pieces.

The Barbarian King coldly glanced at Ah Lang and said:

"Ah Lang, I know you also like Ah Rui, and you are indeed an excellent person, but this Young Master Yang is just too outstanding. I can only apologize and marry Ah Rui to him."

Although Ah Lang dared not lash out at the Barbarian King nor at Ah Rui, he could vent his anger on Yang Xiao and immediately roared:

"Young man, since the Great Chief says you are outstanding, fine, let me see just how outstanding you are. If you can defeat me today, I will sincerely and wholeheartedly bless you and Ah Rui.

If you cannot defeat me, hmph, please leave Ah Rui immediately, as you are not worthy of marrying her."

Ah Rui, startled, immediately stood in front of Yang Xiao, shouting,

"Ah Lang!"

Ah Rui and Ah Bao, chatting, learned that Yang Xiao had just recently broken through to King Level Genetic Evolution, while Ah Lang had long since broken through the Intermediate Stage of King Level and was already close to reaching the Advanced Stage of King Level.

If Yang Xiao were to battle Ah Lang, it would indeed be very dangerous.

As for the Two-star Divine Weapon in Yang Xiao's hands, which even forced back the Emperor Level Qing Mu, it was only effective because Qing Mu was caught off guard.

This Two-star Bronze Divine Sword, although possessing a strong Killing Aura and unparalleled sharpness, could only be used in close combat.

Yang Xiao was two levels behind Ah Lang; for Yang Xiao, the effect of this Divine Weapon was barely adequate and could not even get close to Ah Lang.

Not everyone will just rush up to be killed.

Since the grandfather had announced that Ah Rui would be married to Yang Xiao, Ah Rui naturally had to protect Yang Xiao.

Seeing Ah Rui protecting Yang Xiao, Ah Lang immediately scoffed:

"Ha ha, you really are outstanding, having to rely on a woman to protect you. In our Barbarian Tribe, this is simply a legend.

What do you all say, since when did the men of our Barbarian Tribe need women to protect them, right?"

The over a thousand Barbarians around, out of a sense of sympathy for their own kind, all replied in unison:

"Yes!"

Someone else said:

"To marry Ah Rui, one must defeat Ah Lang; otherwise, get out!"

This statement seemed to resonate with many, especially those young men who had been secretly in love with Ah Rui.

At this moment, the crowd was inflamed, and everyone began to chant together:

"Fight, fight, fight!"

The Barbarian King suddenly pulled Ah Rui down from the flower platform, leaving the stage directly to Yang Xiao and Ah Lang.

"Grandfather!"

Ah Rui shouted.

"Listen to Grandfather, come down with me, let Yang Xiao face Ah Lang. If he wants to marry my granddaughter, shouldn't he show some real skills?"

"Damn!"

Yang Xiao cursed inwardly, suddenly feeling like he had fallen into this ridiculous Barbarian King's trap.

"Damn it, can't I just not marry this barbarian woman?"

At that moment, Yang Xiao truly wanted to just walk away.

However, reason told him he had absolutely no way out - defeating Ah Lang and marrying Ah Rui was his only path.

Unless he didn't want to leverage the strength of the Barbarians to implement his plans on Purple Origin Star.

Marrying Ah Rui, securing the support of the Barbarian King, and leveraging this tribal force to execute Yang Xiao's plan to confront Witch Star was crucial.

Yang Xiao truly had no way out.

The Barbarian King really was an old fox.

However, Yang Xiao still did not understand why this old fox of a Barbarian King was deliberately provoking Ah Lang to duel with him publicly?

This question was naturally shared by Ah Rui, Qing Mu, and Ah Bao.

All three knew that the Barbarian King had already promised Ah Rui to Yang Xiao, so why stage such a play?

The Barbarian King glanced at the visibly upset Ah Rui beside him and whispered:

"It's easy for Yang Xiao to marry you, but setting roots in the Barbarian Tribe is hard,

without real skills, who would accept him?

If he can't even defeat Ah Lang, I'll marry you to Ah Lang."
