Dragon Clan: They're all insane, and you still want me to slay dragons?

Su Enxi argued vehemently with Jiu Demai, then puffed out her chest and declared that only a high-quality woman like herself, with real skills and expertise, could maintain a relationship for a long time.

"Do I need to consider the possibility of fading beauty?" Mai rolled her eyes.

The sales assistant immediately chimed in, "Miss Mai, of course you don't need to worry about aging. The cosmetic surgery industry is so advanced these days; you can still look beautiful even when you're seventy or eighty. Even if you don't consider cosmetic surgery, as long as you're willing to take care of yourself, you can maintain your youthful appearance for a long time, and you'll still have a unique charm even when you get older."

The sales assistant thought that Mai Shude meant to say that she was naturally beautiful and would be beautiful even when she got old, but Su Enxi knew that Mai Shude meant exactly what she said: she hardly needed to consider the possibility of aging.

The future of the world rests in the final choice of the Second Advent Child.

If the Second Son ultimately chooses to follow the original prophecy and divine instincts, then the belated Last Judgment will arrive, and at least 144,000 people may be spared. Those who are not believers, such as the monks of the Valley of the Dead, will surely be cast into the lake of fire in hell.

If the Second Adventist Son ultimately chooses to break the agreement, canceling or implementing the Last Judgment with more lenient standards, then Mai Shude will be the Son's bride, the bride of God.

Since a spouse is one of the persons of the religious God, what need is there to consider regarding aging?

"Besides, no matter what, I am a girl, and tonight is my wedding, so it is only natural that it should be more solemn."

"Since it's a wedding, why not wear a wedding dress?"

"Fun fact: Before the 1920s, there was no strict concept of wedding dress. At that time, European nobles wore formal attire for their weddings, and the color was arbitrary."

Queen Victoria of England stunned the world with her pure white wedding dress, after which European nobility began to embrace the white gown, eventually establishing it as a tradition.

"You even know this?" Su Enxi was greatly surprised.

As a finance professional, she genuinely didn't know this, and similarly, she believed that Mai Shude, as a henchman, shouldn't know this either.

"Don't underestimate me. I graduated from the Music Department of Tokyo University." Mai Shude raised her chin.

"So, is there any necessary connection between the University of Tokyo's music department and the origin of wedding dresses?"

"Of course, music and fashion design are both art-related majors, and many aspects of art are interconnected."

Chanel's tailor and fashion designer agreed with Mai Shude's view, saying that many artists' inspirations come from an abstract concept in other fields, and the connection between the two is weak, but it does exist.

Su Enxi thought to herself, "Isn't this just mind racing?"

Despite her complaints, half an hour later, Su Enxi obediently paid for Jiu De Mai's expenses by swiping her card. She also took the opportunity to act as the young lady's maid, carefully helping Jiu De Mai into the van before getting into the driver's seat and driving off.

Along with the two of them, dozens of sets of various outfits and underwear were also sent to the Park Hyatt Tokyo. Mai Shude knew that the expensive dress she was wearing, which cost millions of dollars, was just a disposable item and would probably be torn to shreds tonight, so she had to prepare other clothes in advance.

Back in the hotel room, Mai took out her phone from her bag and asked Gao Kui if he had found it. Gao Kui said he was about to leave and would arrive in about half an hour.

Mai replied, "I'll wait for you," and then, as if on cue, went to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of mid-aged Bordeaux and a decanter, and began to decant it. For this type of vintage red wine, the decanting time is usually between half an hour and an hour.

Every detail was handled perfectly by Mai Shude.

While pouring the wine into the decanter, Mai Jiude didn't forget to direct Su Enxi, who was busy running around, telling her which clothes couldn't be left there, and which wardrobe should be hung in that one...

That arrogant manner infuriated Su Enxi, who wanted nothing more than to throw Jiu Demai's clothes into the dressing room. However, reason ultimately prevailed.

“Aside from not wearing a wedding dress, you really look like a bride right now, I mean a bride from ancient China,” Su Enxi teased.

In ancient China, weddings began at dusk, but before the groom came to fetch her, the bride would dress up, put on her wedding dress and veil at her parents' home, waiting for the groom to come and fetch her.

After being taken to the groom's house and kneeling to worship heaven and earth, she will be sent to the bedroom. She will then wait until the groom has finished entertaining the guests before they can consummate their marriage. During this time, she cannot eat or drink and cannot lift her veil herself, otherwise she will be considered to be behaving promiscuously.

Isn't this state very similar to that of Mai Shutoku now?

After Su Enxi finished packing her clothes, Jiu Demai started to discard her like a used tool, saying, "Alright, there's nothing more for you here. Go back to your room. Remember to keep your phone on at all times. I'll call you if I need anything."

Su Enxi remained calm, having already composed herself. She simply considered Jiu De Mai as the bride and herself as the bridesmaid; it was only natural for the bridesmaid to be a little busier.

"What's the rush? I can go back to my room once everyone arrives."

Su Enxi poured herself a glass of water and stood by the window, gazing at the view below. From her vantage point, she could see the main entrance of the Park Hyatt Hotel.

With nothing else to do, Mai Shude also stood by the window, standing side by side with Su Enxi, looking out the window and chatting idly.

Su Enxi said, "Your current posture is called eagerly anticipating something; you're not reserved at all."

Mai Shude said, "Isn't it normal for me to have some expectations? Also, when did you get the idea that I would be reserved? When you meet someone you like, you have to pounce on them like a hungry wolf. Be fast, fierce, and ruthless. That's the style of a female assassin or ninja."

Su Enxi sighed again, "The world is really amazing. You're actually in a relationship now. It feels a bit out of character compared to your past persona."

Mai replied, "Just think of me as having physical needs. It just so happens that Gao Kui is outstanding in all aspects, so I plan to find him as my regular fuck buddy. Would that make it not be out of character?"

"Did you say the same thing to Gao Kui?"

"Otherwise, sincerity is the ultimate weapon. Isn't that the strategy we came up with together?" Mai Shude retorted.

Su Enxi gave Jiu Demai a thumbs up with heartfelt admiration. With such sincerity, you deserve to take this blood.

How many people dare to tell others their truest thoughts and show their most rational side to others?

I dare to drink alcohol, but I don't play those superficial love-themed games. In the end, isn't so-called affection just dopamine?

I'm attracted to you because you're handsome, have a great physique, excellent bloodline, and are a saint who can give me a sense of security. So, I'm asking you if you'd like to be my girlfriend.
