Chapter 135 Increase The Wager (1/2)

”It's up to you, Belle.”

Everyone seemed amazed by Diana letting Belle decide.

The tournament would go on if Belle proposed to continue their bet. Diana thought that Belle would end up marrying into one of the three Ancient Families if that was the case. Should Belle want Diana to stop the bet, Diana would rob the magic spring water of the three Ancient Families.

Upon hearing what Diana said, Darren was even more impressed and appreciated Diana for what she had done. Not all the Holy Lords would be brave enough to make the same decision Diana did for the well-being of one disciple. After all, Diana would pay a heavy price or even lose her sect for her decision.

”I...” Belle uttered, hesitant and confused.

Now she had three choices to choose from: to be married to a member of an Ancient Family present; continue the tournament, but the chances of winning the contest were slim; Diana forcibly took the magic spring water from the Ancient Families.

Her sect would pay a heavy price if Belle chose the third option. It would mean that Diana declared war on three Ancient Families. Lotus Holy Land would end up with the same fate as with the Ancient Dragon Holy Land. Even if they could win the war, they would still suffer a tremendous loss.

Hence, she could never choose the last option.

”I will marry into the Yu Family,” Belle finally responded.

When they heard her decision, many people present felt relieved. If Lotus Holy Land would oppose the three Ancient Families, the two parties would pay the price.

”Belle, do you trust me on this?”

The masked teenager slowly revealed himself and took off his mask.

When Belle saw his face, she was taken aback. It felt like time stood still.

It felt like there were only her and the lad in the world, and everything seemed to blur.

”Brother...” she muttered, staring at the young man. She felt a lump in her throat and felt a sudden rush.

After a long while, she dashed forward and hugged the teenager. Her cheeks were bathed in tears.
