SBCEJM -Chapter 70 Ten Beauties Married Together! The Mad Groom’s Bridal Night Revelry!

Over a hundred women of various appearances and intentions flooded into the Zhao Residence’s main hall.

Zhao Dequan sat high on the main seat, beside him was his son Zhao Tianshi, whose face was already filled with a sickly excitement.

When Zhao Tianshi saw the crowd pouring in, his eyes lit up with greedy brilliance.

But when his gaze swept across the women below, his smile froze.

What the hell!

Are you kidding me?!

Why are there so many ugly ones?!

Even Zhao Dequan’s eyelids twitched violently.

This was the drawback of a “open selection”—any kind of oddity dared to show up and “register.”

Among the women in the hall, one-third were coarse in appearance, one-third were average, and only the remaining third could barely be considered presentable.

Zhao Dequan rubbed his forehead.

He gave a ceremonious opening speech, then instructed the steward to have the women step forward one by one.

The steward Zhao Zhong recorded their acceptance or rejection based on appearance and speech.

Disguised as a maid, Feng Zexuan stood at the side maintaining order.

She scanned the crowd and asked curiously in her mind:

【System, what’s going on? Why are there so many ugly women?】

【Host, some people are simply overly confident,】 the system explained.

【Last night’s nightmare scared away a batch. The rest were forced here by their parents—some even deliberately made themselves ugly so they’d be rejected.】

【See that one with the mole at the corner of her mouth? That’s stove ash mixed with rice grains stuck on.】

【Hahaha, this is hilarious—policy from above, countermeasures from below!】

The women standing in line were startled when they heard this voice.

That strange dream from last night… was it caused by this mysterious immortal?

They all held their breath unconsciously, eager to hear what else the “immortal” would say.

Among them, Wang Jingwen stood calmly, though her eyelashes trembled slightly.

The women began stepping forward, reporting their names, ages, and skills.

The steward glanced at Zhao Dequan’s expression and marked the registry with checks or crosses.

Zhao Tianshi kept his own list—he drew circles for those he liked and completely blacked out those he disliked.

Finally, it was Wang Jingwen’s turn.

“I am Wang Jingwen, legitimate daughter of the Yongning Marquis household, eighteen years old. I am somewhat proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and I also know a little medicine.”

Zhao Dequan examined her. Her appearance and temperament were both excellent. Although the Yongning Marquis household was hollow in power, their upbringing of daughters had not been neglected.

He nodded in satisfaction. Zhao Zhong immediately marked a firm check beside her name.

After seeing a parade of mediocre and ugly women, Zhao Tianshi finally brightened at Wang Jingwen’s appearance.

Her plain clothing could not hide her sharp gaze, like a tempered blade, making his blood boil.

This kind of thorny beauty… conquering her would be far more satisfying!

And her tears would surely be more beautiful!

【The Yongning Marquis’s legitimate daughter is quite skilled in medicine,】 the system commented.

【Wow! Impressive! Planning a technical counter-kill?】

Next came more women—either ugly or plain—prompting the steward to repeatedly draw crosses.

Then, a tall, striking woman with an alluring figure stepped forward with a sway of her waist.

“My name is Xia Ju, nineteen years old.”

She gave Zhao Tianshi a seductive glance.

“I have long admired Young Master Zhao. Due to my humble background, I only wish to become your concubine.”

Zhao Tianshi was completely enchanted by her sultry voice.

He thought: if such a demon cried, how intoxicating would that be?

Excited, he clenched his fist and drew a large circle on his list.

Zhao Dequan, pleased with his son’s reaction, stroked his beard and nodded.

Then the system suddenly laughed:

【Host, this one is actually a cross-dresser!】

Feng Zexuan was shocked:

【What?! I can’t tell at all! So beautiful! So he’s… a male lover?】

【Yes,】 the system replied.

【And he’s the top one too—what people call a ‘beautiful man top~’】

【Damn, damn, damn!】 Feng Zexuan felt like she had discovered shocking gossip.

【He has a good character and doesn’t want to harm decent men. But Zhao Tianshi is a pervert, and he just happens to fit his type, so he decided to step in personally and eliminate harm for the people!】

When this inner voice spread, the women below were all petrified.

Then shock waves surged through their hearts.

Their gaze toward Xia Ju shifted from pity and jealousy to admiration and awe.

【Hahaha!】 Feng Zexuan suddenly became excited.

【I have a brilliant idea. Since Wang Jingwen knows medicine, let her go first, then use hypnosis to help rewrite Zhao Tianshi’s memory afterward. A win-win cooperation!】

The system laughed:

【Brilliant, Host! You can secretly pass them notes later so they can coordinate. We’ll just sit back and watch the show!】

The girls who heard this inner voice all lit up.

With these two experts leading the charge, what was there to fear?

Wang Jingwen found the plan feasible.

Xia Ju became even more determined, her gaze toward Zhao Tianshi turning predatory.

Among the crowd, a poor girl named Xiao Tao thought of her sick mother and starving younger brother.

She gritted her teeth and tore off the large black mole on her face.

A delicate, clean face was finally revealed.

So what if it was a marriage with a madman?

She would do it.

Next, another graceful and dignified woman stepped forward.

But Feng Zexuan noticed something strange—her gaze didn’t linger on Zhao Tianshi’s face at all. Instead, she looked him over like a butcher inspecting meat, even licking her lips unconsciously.

【System, what’s up with her? That look is weird.】

【This one is Liu Yulan,】 the system said. 【Last night’s dream was too real. After touching Zhao Tianshi’s ‘fleshly appeal,’ she became completely obsessed.】

【What the hell! Someone is actually obsessed with a pervert’s body?!】

Everyone looked at the composed woman on stage, stunned.

What a strange world this is—stranger every year!

Then a cute, petite girl bounced forward. She even leaned closer to Zhao Tianshi and took a subtle deep breath, her face showing bliss.

“My name is Yu Jiaojiao…”

【This girl has no issues, right?】 Feng Zexuan asked weakly.

【She does,】 the system confirmed.

【She likes the faint smell of his… unique body odor from last night’s dream. She originally liked the stable boy’s smell, but after smelling Zhao Tianshi, she dumped him.】

“……”

Even the women below were speechless.

What kind of people are these?!

In the end, after selection, more than a hundred were reduced to just ten.

After discussion, Zhao Dequan and Zhao Tianshi finalized the arrangement:

Wang Jingwen of the Yongning Marquis household became the principal wife.

Liu Yulan became a noble concubine.

Yu Jiaojiao and Xia Ju became secondary concubines.

The remaining six became lower concubines.

“Ladies, you are aware that His Majesty has granted only ten days for the marriage. Now only six days remain.”

Zhao Dequan stood up and said loudly:

“To avoid complications, I have decided—today, all ten brides will enter the household!”

He lowered his voice to Zhao Tianshi:

“Since His Majesty has pushed things this far, we might as well make it grand. Ten beauties marry together—once it’s done, who can say anything?”

“Today, all ten brides and the groom will marry and enter the bridal chambers together!”

“WHAT?! Ten brides marrying at once?!”

Zhao Tianshi was ecstatic and completely satisfied with his father’s arrangement.

Looking at the ten beauties of different charm and temperament, he felt he had reached the peak of his life.

Just imagining entering the bridal chambers with all ten brides made his imagination run wild.

He would be able to collect so many precious tears at once.

The ten women, having already made up their minds, all agreed to proceed.

Feng Zexuan helped them change and dress in bridal attire in the back courtyard.

While adjusting Wang Jingwen’s wide sleeves, she subtly slipped a small note into her palm.

For Xia Ju, she hid a note beneath the tassels of the phoenix crown.

Both women received the “battle plan” and were startled, exchanging complex looks toward the maid’s departing figure.

Inside the ceremonial hall, red candles burned brightly.

The ten brides stood in a row, veiled in red.

Zhao Tianshi, dressed in wedding robes, looked at them with a foolish grin.

“Send the brides to the bridal chambers!”

With the final announcement, the brides were escorted into ten separate bridal rooms.

Feng Zexuan knew the real show was about to begin.

She slipped away from the crowd and leapt silently onto the roof.

With practiced ease, she lifted a tile and chose the best viewing spot.

【Hehe, VIP viewing position secured.】

Tonight’s gossip was going to be packed with technique and explosive material.

She would enjoy it thoroughly.

Come on—let the storm come even fiercer.
