Avril was very quiet. She carefully looked around her, taking in this place that Xia Fei was born and had once lived.

Avril’s father and grandfather had nagged the entire trip here, highlighting all the unfairness Xia Fei had inflicted upon her. They did not mean that Xia Fei was bad for Avril. After all, anyone could see that the man had done plenty of things for her. In fact, even her life had been saved by him.

It was just that Xia Fei had too many bad habits, such as always getting into trouble wherever he went and randomly disappearing for long periods of time.

Precisely because Xia Fei was always in trouble that he had not much time to accompany Avril. Most of the time, she would be living her life alone, and that was why her father and grandfather had plenty of complaints about him.

“Xia Fei is someone destined for great things, so how can he always stay by my side?” Avril seemed to be in a rather good mood, holding a bag of chestnut candies in her hand and munching on them one by one as she spoke.

“It’s already like this, yet you’re still defending him?” Avril’s father Newman felt crossed. “He’s the hero of our universe and an undefeatable war god, but so what? You’re not getting any younger; you can’t just spend the rest of your life always waiting for him to come home! A year or two is fine, but what about a decade? Maybe even decades?! Just why must he always make you wait foolishly without any bit of contact from him at all?!”

Xiao Yu stuck out her tongue cheekily from the side. After all their chatter, the two still came back to the issue of marriage. This was something that they had not stopped nagging all these years, yet Avril had no desire to distract Xia Fei, and so she had never mentioned this to him whenever they were together.

Women would wish to get married sooner or later when they got older, and Ernst and Newman had long been ready with their dowry. All of them had been waiting for Xia Fei to mention the word ‘marriage’, yet the man went from the Panhuman Alliance to the Law Realm and later returned from it, only to leave the universe entirely!

Newman and Ernst felt that there was no sense of safety in Avril being with Xia Fei. There were people who fought, but who else fought so desperately like Xia Fei? It was practically endless!

“Xiao Yu, someone’s fishing over there; let’s take a look!”

Not wanting to hear her father and grandfather’s grumbling anymore, Avril ran off with Xiao Yu in tow.

She stood by the lakeside and leaned on the railings with her two hands propping up her head as she contemplated. She was not at all interested in the people fishing nearby.

The well-behaved Xiao Yu did not say a word. She knew that it was not that Avril had not thought of all those problems; rather, she did not wish to become a burden to Xia Fei. Though she would openly say that she did not care about such things, how could any woman just leave it as it was?

So many girls had been planning their own big wedding since they were very little; how could Avril be any different?

…..

Avril and her family ended their short vacation on Earth and returned to Sunset Villa that very night. Thanks to the existence of the Spatial Traversal Array, traveling across the stars had become very convenient. As Xia Fei’s partner, Avril, including her family, naturally had priority when it came to using it.

…

“What’s going on here?” Avril’s grandfather Ernst exclaimed in shock.

The moment they stepped out of the spatial door, everyone had been rooted to the spot. The villa was completely crowded! There were even many warships in the air, enough to blot out the sky!

People they recognized and some that did not all swiftly crowded around Avril and her family upon seeing their arrival, saying all sorts of funny words.

“Congratulations! This is wonderful! I didn’t even have the time to change what I’m wearing and hurried here the moment I got the news!” The one who had spoken this was Pine Williams, one of the Triumvirate of the Panhuman Alliance, a wide grin on his face.

“What wonderful news is this?” Ernst asked, confused.

“What? You mean you still aren’t aware? Then hurry up and come look. In any case, this is joyous news!”

Avril and her family were all baffled. Anyone of some status in the entire Alliance had all gathered on their property. Even more people congregated here than when they organized the Alliance General Assembly!

Taking several more steps, they were even more surprised to find that the major figures in charge of maintaining order in this universe had also lined up to receive Avril and company!

The one in the forefront was Old Demon Oro. Though he had turned into a human after receiving Xia Fei’s palm strike, that bold and easy temper of his had not changed one bit.

Oro gave Ernst a mighty hug and laughed. “I’ve been waiting for this day to come for a long time! That rascal, Xia Fei, has finally done something reliable. Don’t get mad at me when I say this, but I think that your Sunset Villa is too small. The gift that I brought over can’t fit here! I think that we should just level the entire Venal Galaxy; that’ll be more befitting of your family’s stature. As for the Panhuman Alliance headquarters, they can just move somewhere else!

Well, a gift that could only fit after leveling the most important location in the entire Alliance, Venal Galaxy?! This was a magnanimity of such grandeur it left the Triumvirate of the Alliance goggle-eyed. Just who could this person be? To think that they would not have a word in edgewise on the matter.

“No, there’s no need. The villa is big enough for our family to live in.” Ernst hurriedly refused while eking out a smile.

Avril and Xiao Yu were astonished. They had no idea why, but no matter who they saw today, they all looked at Avril with a very meaningful expression, the kind was filled with utmost respect and reverence.

A few more steps forward and it only got worse. The entire Law Realm, all those warriors that had cultivation above Law God had all gathered to receive them!

Regardless of how little they usually cared for others, they had all sincerely formed two lines at both sides of the road for Avril and her family. The majesty was simply indescribable.

Avril and her family were now totally confused. Who had ever seen a grand gesture to this degree?

When they reached the top of the hill, Xia Gucheng and Hosu, these two eminent Founder tier war gods, stepped forward to greet them. The other Founders in the Law Realm, including the patriarchs of major clans, were also present. The Skywings had even been fully mobilized; anyone who could come from that clan was here today. Andre from Quantum Holdings, Wulong, and the others, including Moon Song, Chen Dong, and Mech Race’s Sentinel Goddess Sophie, Phantom, Warstar, Pod…

….

There were truly too many people, and only after they had finally managed to get everyone settle down into the guest hall did Ernst and Newman have the time to stew in their baffledness. They did not know what they had done, for all these people who could be considered part of this universe’s upper echelon to have gathered here in their home, as if they had made preparations in advance.

Xia Gucheng coughed once and said in a serious tone, “Today, I’m here to inform everyone of two things: First, I received word from Xia Fei that beyond the Cosmic Gate is the Alpha Universe. He’s safe and sound; he said that it won’t be long before he finds a way to eliminate all the Inverse. When that time comes, we will attack from our side and eradicate those evil creatures once and for all!”

Most people had no idea about this matter, so they nodded in agreement, the slightest killing intent pervading from their eyes.

The battle that fateful day had been very dangerous, with the Law Realm losing plenty of its elite warriors. At the mention of there being a possibility of the Inverse being totally eradicated, everyone felt very excited and hoped for that day when they could take their revenge on those vile creatures.

After a pause, Xia Gucheng chuckled. “As for the second matter, it’s something Xia Fei entrusted me with, which is to propose formally to Miss Avril.”

…

The moment he said that, deafening applause filled the hall. The people outside the hall who were not qualified to enter it had no idea what had just happened, but they also joined in applauding, causing the entire Sunset Villa to erupt in thunderous cheer.

*Whoosh*

Avril’s cheeks instantly turned beet red. Even in her dreams, she had never expected that Xia Fei would make such a grand gesture just to seek her hand in marriage!

“How embarrassing.” Avril clutched her face and ran off to her room, which elicited laughter from everyone.

Strictly speaking, quite a few ladies present felt jealous. Never mind those women who had once crossed paths with Xia Fei, such as Moon Song, Xiao Yu, Nicole Sawyer, and more, even the elders from various clans could not help but think of their own ladies who had yet to marry.

Who was Xia Fei? There was no way to find another bachelor as eligible as him from all over the Law Realm or even the universe!

There was no need to mention his wealth, which could rival a nation, or that mech army he owned, which could dominate the universe. Just thinking of the entire Titan superwarship fleet was enough to make people’s hair stand. There was also the Skywing, a clan in the Law Realm filled with the craziest of crazies, whose influence and power had reached an extreme degree! These were the very same maniacs who could challenge the entire Law Realm with just their clan alone!

On top of all these, there was Hosu, a mysterious Great Spiritualist from the other universe, which made the imagination of all the people here run wild. Only Xia Fei alone had managed to extend his sphere of influence beyond the Law Realm’s scope. These elders were willing to exchange their lives if they could ensure that one of their own would be able to marry Xia Fei!

Alas, all they could blame was themselves. ‘Why is there no one among my daughters like Avril?’ This was the thought that all of them could not help entertaining at this time.

“Are you telling the truth?” Avril’s grandfather, Ernst, asked after being stunned for a good while.

“Of course! I bought the engagement gift right here,” Xia Gucheng said, who then laughed boisterously.

“Yes, we even brought along our congratulatory present!”

“You can use the radar to have a look; the ships bearing all the congratulatory gifts are all lined up beyond Venal Galaxy, and there are more on the way.”

“That’s right! This is major news for our universe and is worth celebrating!”

The crowd was noisy, making Avril’s father and grandfather feel uneasy. Just this afternoon, they talked about how unrighteous Xia Fei was, not allowing Avril to speak up on his behalf; now, it seemed that they had underestimated Xia Fei’s feelings for her.

This was when Xia Gucheng got up to his feet and made a gesture beseeching everyone to quiet down.

“Xia Fei said in the letter that, due to some grave matter, he couldn’t hurry to make it back to organize this engagement, but he’s still hoping that everyone will bear witness to what happens next.

“Also, he said─*cough*!” Xia Gucheng choked at this point, causing everyone to get more curious.

“What else did Xia Fei say?”

“Why don’t you spill it fast?” everyone hurriedly asked.

Xia Gucheng somewhat sheepishly rubbed his head and replied, “I’m unable to bring myself to say what that rascal, Xia Fei, wanna say, so Guanghai, come and take over!”

Xia Guanghai continued where Xia Gucheng had stopped, imitating Xia Fei’s tone as he proclaimed, “‘This is my and Avril’s engagement, so we must make this a huge deal! This ought to be done in a grand way that has never been done before and is impossible to replicate even in the future! Only that is worthy of my Avril!'”

The entire hall went silent.

Xia Fei’s words were simple, but they could all tell just how bottomless his love for Avril was.

Behind the door was a lone figure, with two streaks of tears running down from her eyes.

Avril, who could not contain the happiness and excitement that she was feeling, broke into tears…
