#1052 - Fake wedding and tension

"Speaking of which, have you ever tried Hawkins's divination? Is it accurate?"

Xia Ji suddenly asked.

"I can't say it's accurate. How should I put it? There's always a sense of ambiguity, but when things really happen, there's a sense of sudden enlightenment. So that's how it is."

Caroline said.

"Tsk, is that so? Never mind."

Xia Ji waved her hand and continued to drink fruit wine. This was the limit of what she could accept. After so much training, she could only drink a little fruit wine at most. She couldn't bear any more.

"So what do you want to see him about? Not for marriage, right? Hehehe, oops!"

Yuuki Wakaba looked at Xia Ji with an expression of Aniya, but the next moment, she was hit directly on the head by Xia Ji's righteous iron fist, and she immediately squatted down with her head in her hands, full of dignity.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I did ask about marriage, but I asked Sister Dai. I heard from Elena that Brother Jin and Sister Dai went to the underworld and met their parents. They asked a lot of questions, including questions about Sister Dai's marriage. I thought about asking Hawkins, maybe I can get something out of him, but since it's so ambiguous, forget it."

Xia Ji didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"Hiss - it hurts, so that's how it is. I thought you, Master, had finally gotten the idea."

As Yuuki Wakaba said this, she jumped to the other side and avoided the next punch from Xia Ji. Yuuki Wakaba, who was already very good at courting death, knew exactly what the result would be if she said anything, so she ran away the moment she finished saying this, or rather, she ran while she said this.

"Ahhh! Yuuki Wakaba! Come back here!"

Xia Ji jumped up from her seat and pounced towards Youmu Wakaba. The two of them started playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" in the room.

"It's started again. Forget it. I'm used to it. By the way, Xia Ji, why are you so anxious? Three years ago, you held a fake wedding to help Taylor fulfill his mother's wish. Taylor's mother died with a smile on her face. Even though it was a fake wedding, it was no different from the real thing."

Maso looked at the two people walking around the table and said with a helpless sigh.

"You said it too! It was for Aunt Anna! Who made Aunt Anna choose me?"

Xia Ji shouted at Ma Suo with a red face.

"Tsk, everyone knows that you were so excited that you couldn't sleep for three nights. Why are you still pretending? You are saying one thing and thinking another."

Yuuki Wakaba, who was looking for trouble, added fuel to the fire again, but this time she was successfully punished. Taylor, who felt guilty about the fake marriage, naturally couldn't let Yuuki Wakaba continue talking. He turned around and grabbed Yuuki Wakaba, picked her up and threw her to Xia Ji.

“Ahhh! Help!”

After falling into Xia Ji's hands, Youmu Wakaba immediately began to ask for help, but it was obvious that no one cared, because this was already the norm, especially after what happened in the past few years.

"Speaking of which, Taylor, didn't you ask Madam Lily to help you find your mother's spirit?"

Azu asked.

"I have found her. After she arrived in the underworld, she met my father. The two of them talked about some things. After that, she thanked Sister Lily and entered reincarnation. She is doing well."

Tiger said calmly that in his opinion, it was good that his parents were directly reincarnated, which meant that he had nothing to worry about and it was worth it that he paid so much to ask Xia Ji for help. However, he thought that his mother might have seen something a long time ago, otherwise she would not have slightly turned sideways and dodged Xia Ji's bow during the ceremony.

"That's right. I heard that people in the underworld can't feel certain feelings, and there's nothing good about staying there for too long. I think it's good that your mother was able to find your father and meet him. Come on, let's not talk about these unhappy things, let's drink."

Marceau raised his glass and clinked it with Taylor's.

"Speaking of which, you all know that the final battle will begin soon. How are you preparing?"

Shacklebolt Dale said as he took a sip of his wine.

"As for me, I don't have anything to prepare. Or rather, I have been preparing since the day I joined the Beasts. I have been ready."

Taylor smiled and shook his head. He had already taken care of his mother and had successfully fulfilled his filial piety. What he needed to do next was to be loyal. He had witnessed the development of headhunters over the years and knew that the so-called aristocratic rule was meaningless and could only have a counterproductive effect. Therefore, Taylor had already prepared for the final battle. He believed that they would not lose.

"I'm almost the same. I'm an orphan, as you all know. I grew up on a boat. If I hadn't joined the Hundred Beasts by accident, I might still be fishing in that unknown place. Of course, I might have been eaten by fish. Anyway, I've dedicated my whole life to the Hundred Beasts and their cause. No matter what the outcome, I'm ready. I don't care about life or death. I'll fight you if you don't agree! Hahahaha!"

Maso's words are consistent with his image as a typical reckless man.

"I don't have any problem. I was determined after reading those articles. I have lived a happy life these years. If I can help more people, I will be happier. I don't think that is the final battle. In my opinion, after this battle is over, we will clean up the world and sweep all the nobles into the dust of history. That will be the real battle, right?"

Shusui Denjiro said.

"You are still so serious, but you are right. This is what I wanted to say. The final battle is not entirely correct. As for preparation, this is probably the biggest stage in the world, right? My dream is to become the best superstar! How can I miss such a shining stage? Hehehe, I have prepared a lot of good things."

A-Zu smiled very sinisterly. It was obvious that this guy had prepared something extraordinary. Combined with the fact that this guy always liked to go to some strange places over the years, other people reasonably suspected that he had got some strange things from those strange places. You know, many devil fruits were found by this guy, and God knows what else he can find.

"I don't have anything prepared. Can't you see I've been busy as hell lately? Hiccup——"

Caroline said this and burped in an ungraceful manner.

"Okay, okay, you are all great, unlike me. I have been quite nervous recently."

Shacklebolt Dale said with a smile.

"You? You're nervous? That's the funniest joke I've heard this year."

Xia Ji said as she tidied up Yuuki Wakaba.

"Humph, that's more like it. If you, a killer, say you're scared, that's weird."

Caroline said.

"Blu blu blu"

"Hmm? That guy Archaon is calling. Wait a minute, I'll take the call."
