Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Rocky and Valeria began to light up the incense and kowtowed
in front of the divine censer which was on the high platform. Then, they inserted the incense they held
into the censer.
Afterward, the engagement covenant was sent to the stage and was put in front of the two.
"Lady first," Rocky said as he let Valeria go first.
As she looked at the engagement covenant in front of her, Valeria's heart began to pump hard. She
became nervous, knowing that once she signed the covenant, everything would be irreversible, and
she would now officially become Rocky's fiancee.
However, despite her hesitations, she could not disobey Flora's order. Hence, all she could do was
taking a deep breath before signing her name on the covenant.
But then out of nowhere, Gloria stood up and shouted, "Hold on!"
At this moment, everyone's gaze fell on her again, including Gilbert, the elders, Rocky, and Valeria.
"Ladies and gentlemen, pardon me, but I cannot bear to keep quiet. I am not Odin's sister... I am his
fiancee!" Gloria exclaimed. At this point, she felt that there was already no turning back. Hence, she
mustered all her courage and acted impulsively. Her main purpose was to destroy the engagement
between the Godly Geniuses of the Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief, but things did not go as she had
planned. Thus, she thought of a different way on how she could still achieve her goal. Now that she
suddenly announced that she was Rocky's fiancee, she wanted to see how Rocky and Valeria would
react to this.
Then, as soon as she issued her statement, the information she blurted out immediately caused an
uproar as if a bomb was dropped in the midst of the crowd. Everyone looked at Rocky and Valeria, at a
loss for words.
No one thought that such a development would disrupt the engagement ceremony. Obviously, they did
not expect that the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief already had a fiancee.
At the same time, Valeria was also dumbfounded. Although she didn't want the engagement to be
successful, she didn't expect that something so shocking would actually happen.
"Odin, what is this woman saying? Who really is she? Do you care to explain yourself?" As the leader
of the Ghost Fief, Gilbert could not help but question Rocky in a stern tone. He, of all people, knew how
important this ceremony was. Thus, he would not allow anyone to mess things up. However, Rocky
brought the woman here himself, saying that she was his sister. But all of a sudden, she claimed to be
his fiancee. Hence, Gilbert wanted Rocky to take responsibility and tell the truth.
"There is no need to hide it. He knows who I truly am!" Gloria immediately blurted out as she cast a
cold glare upon Rocky.
"Odin, speak up!" Gilbert turned to Rocky again, urging him to explain everything.
"Well, I guess there is no need to hide it. It is now out in the open. What she said is true!" Rocky just
shrugged his shoulders and played along to Gloria's ploy.
When everyone heard this straight from Rocky's mouth, loud gasps could be heard from the crowd. It
was so sudden and was actually not that convincing.
"You!" Valeria's face turned crimson in anger. She felt rather humiliated and disgusted. She was
actually convinced that Rocky was just deliberately asking someone to disguise as his fiancee in order
to get out of this engagement.
At the same time, Elder Leticia's face also darkened as she was worried about how things would
proceed from here.
Ironically, Gloria was the most surprised one. She only planned to cause quite a stir, but she didn't
expect that Rocky would also say that she was his fiancee. At this moment, she gritted her teeth,
feeling that she fell into his trap again.
"However, although she is my fiancee, my relationship with her won't hinder me from my engagement
with Valeria. I only have a verbal agreement with this woman. It means that there is no official
document, and therefore, it does not really count," Rocky explained.
"If that is the case, then it's fine. Nothing actually hinders a man to have several wives, let alone have
more than one fiancee. Miss Valeria, from what Odin said, you don't have to worry about it. We can still
proceed with the signing of the engagement covenant, and we can deal with this woman later. What do
you think, Elder Leticia?" Gilbert asked in desperation. Although it was not the ideal condition, he still
wanted to focus on the overall situation. Hence, he still wanted to have Rocky and Valeria sign the
engagement covenant and complete the ceremony.
"I agree. Valeria, sign it," Elder Leticia firmly said. Although she was also unhappy with the turn of
events, it was clear to her that this was part of her job. She also assumed that Gloria was just someone
who came here to destroy the ceremony. Hence, if she succeeded, things would just become more
disadvantageous for the Flower Fief.
Casting a disdainful glare at Rocky, Valeria firmly held the pen and signed her name on the covenant,
with the sake of the Flower Fief in her mind. Then, she left her fingerprint on the document.
Seeing this, Rocky was a bit disappointed. He didn't expect that after everything she heard, she would
still be willing to sign the agreement. Now, he realized that he had been underestimating her character.
At this point, Rocky had already done what he could to get out of the engagement, but it seemed that
he could not avoid it. Hence, he also took the agreement, signed his name on it, and left his fingerprint.
However, Gloria was still unwilling to admit defeat. She had already gone too far to back out right now.
Thus, without any hint of hesitation, she suddenly rushed towards Rocky, grabbed the engagement
covenant and pen, and hurriedly signed her name on it. Then, she bit her finger and left her fingerprint
on the paper as well.
She did all of these in a split second that no one was able to stop her. In fact, before the people could
react, she had already finished the deed.
Thus, right now, the original two people's engagement covenant turned into a three people's
engagement covenant.
Seeing this inconceivable turn of events, all the people present were completely stunned. Never in their
wildest imagination did they expect that things would end up this way. Gloria actually did the
unthinkable thing and also put her name on the document.
"There. I am also his fiancee now. It is in the official covenant," Gloria said as she raised an eyebrow
while staring at Valeria complacently.
"What the hell? Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Valeria was so astounded that she actually
wanted to smack Gloria. In her eyes, Gloria was just an unreasonable person who was deliberately
trying to make things worse.
"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear earlier? I am his original fiancee!" Gloria retorted without showing any
weakness.
Hearing this, Valeria seethed in anger, but she could not say another word anymore.
"Miss, what do you really want? Why are you causing such trouble here? Where are you from? Who
really are you?!" Gilbert had snapped as well. He shouted at Gloria, revealing a cold expression on his
face. However, there was some confusion in his heart, telling him that this strange young woman was
not someone ordinary. Besides, who in their right minds would dare destroy an engagement ceremony
in full view of the public? Moreover, it seemed that she had a deeper purpose for doing this.
"Fine! If you really want to know my true identity, then I shall tell you." Then, Gloria let out a cunning
smile and looked around the crowd with a charming expression. Then, she said in a sweet voice, "I am
the Godly Genius of the Genie Fief, Gloria Hu! I am just here to be with my fiance. So, please forgive
me if I offended you."
As soon as she finished her sentence, the square fell in silence. Obviously, everyone was rendered
speechless and was in shock upon learning her identity. It turned out the Godly Genius of the Genie
Fief wanted to be a part of the engagement that was originally between the Godly Geniuses of the
Ghost Fief and the Flower Fief. In the end, she got her wish, and the three of them were now engaged
—a first in the history of the Shura Race.
