Having collected her payment and left Qi Yixuan's residence, Matchmaker Zhang muttered to herself, "What terrible luck!"
How did she, an ordinary matchmaker, end up entangled with the Demon Cult of the Great Luo?
The Great Xia Kingdom comprised nine regions: Zhongzhou, Taihua State, Nanhua State, Donghua State, Qilin State, Qinglong State, Zhuque State, Baihu State, and Xuanwu State.
In the eastern part of Qilin State was a highly secretive sect—the Demon Cult of the Great Luo!
Known for their mysterious ways and ruthless methods, every disciple of the Demon Cult was a cold-blooded killer.
Whoever offended them would face merciless revenge.
Not long ago, the Cult Leader himself arrived in Cangxi City and kidnapped Matchmaker Zhang's family, demanding she ensure a union between Ye Xuzhang of the Ye family and the Cult Leader.
If she failed, none of her family members would survive!
Matchmaker Zhang had gone to great lengths to ensure Butler Chen of the Ye family chose her over other matchmakers.
She had presented a pile of portraits of unattractive women, along with the Cult Leader's image, to the Ye household.
In doing so, she left Ye Xuzhang with no choice but Qi Yixuan.
"May heaven have mercy! Please, Ye Gongzi, you must choose this Cult Leader tomorrow," she murmured in prayer.
The next day, outside the Ye residence, a luxuriously decorated carriage slowly approached.
"Whoa!"
The driver tugged the reins, and the carriage came to a halt at the gate.
Following behind, Matchmaker Zhang quickly ran to the front and opened the carriage door.
The first to alight was an elderly woman, her hair as white as a crane's feathers, her sharp eyes glinting occasionally with cold light. She exuded a chilling aura.
Next came a graceful young woman in a simple yet elegant long gown. Her silky black hair cascaded down her back, and her breathtaking beauty made her appear like an unparalleled gem. Supported by the elderly woman, she stepped out of the carriage.
Her beauty was so captivating that even the Ye household servants at the gate stood frozen, mesmerized.
"She's stunning!"
The young woman paid no attention to the servants, casting only a cold glance at the elderly woman beside her.
The woman flinched, fear flickering in her eyes before her icy aura vanished completely. In an instant, she seemed no different from an ordinary elderly lady.
Matchmaker Zhang stepped forward to announce their arrival. The household servants immediately opened the gates and ushered them inside.
In the guest hall, Butler Chen ordered tea to be served and smiled warmly. "Miss Qi, the Young Master will be here shortly. Please wait a moment."
Qi Yixuan smiled politely and nodded. "Thank you."
Looking at Miss Qi, Butler Chen marveled inwardly. What a refined and elegant lady she was—graceful and courteous.
Surely, she and the Young Master were a perfect match!
Even the Old Witch found herself curious.
She wanted to see what was so special about this Ye Gongzi that her Cult Leader would go to such lengths to marry him.
The Cult Leader's insistence couldn't simply be because of Ye Xuzhang's Pure Yang Constitution. While it would certainly benefit the Cult Leader's cultivation, marriage seemed excessive. Absorbing his blood essence would achieve better results.
Lost in thought, the Old Witch snapped to attention as Ye Xuzhang entered, accompanied by his maid, Ye Xiaoyu.
At the sight of him, the Old Witch froze.
What an extraordinary Young Master!
With a tall and straight posture, sword-like brows, starry eyes, and a handsome yet ethereal demeanor, he resembled a celestial immortal from the heavens.
Suddenly, the Old Witch understood why her Cult Leader had chosen to marry him.
Such an unparalleled young man would capture the heart of any woman who laid eyes on him!
At the same time, Ye Xuzhang was taken aback.
Qi Yixuan was far more beautiful than her portrait—ten thousand times so!
No painting could possibly capture even a fraction of her beauty!
Standing beside Ye Xuzhang, Ye Xiaoyu was equally stunned.
"This Miss Qi is too beautiful to be real!"
Breaking the silence, Matchmaker Zhang stepped forward. "Ye Gongzi, allow me to introduce you. This is Qi Yixuan, Miss Qi."
Qi Yixuan rose gracefully and performed a traditional bow. "Greetings, Gongzi."
Not only was her appearance stunning, but her voice was also melodious, like a warbler's gentle chirp or the soothing sound of a flowing stream.
Yet she seemed like an entirely different person from the day before.
Yesterday, she had been as cold as ice, untouchable and aloof.
Today, she exuded calm elegance, a perfect example of a refined young lady.
Ye Xuzhang returned the bow and smiled faintly. "Miss Qi, please take a seat."
