Chapter 1599: Chapter 1597: The Lost Xue Wuheng
Ling Feng cursed silently in his heart, no wonder the princess called him here. It seemed she had this plan all along, trying to force him to comply!
However, Ling Feng thought about it, and it didnāt really harm him in any way. After all, he never intended to truly marry Princess Yunxuan. If he did as Princess Yunxuan suggested, it would actually be quite beneficial for him!
After all, Ling Feng was also thinking about using the power of the Abyssal Court. If Xue Wuheng became the Imperial Son-in-law, who knew if he would interfere?
"In that case, I accept the princessās proposal!" Ling Feng looked at Princess Yunxuan and said sternly, "But thereās something I want to tell the princess in advance; if you ever fall for another man, please let me know, and weāll settle our relationship. But I hope no ripples arise in our relationship, even if itās just in name!"
Princess Yunxuan raised her brows, "Ling Feng, youāre quite domineering."
"This isnāt domineering; itās the minimum respect for each other!" Ling Feng said blandly, "I have no intention of wasting time on romantic entanglements, so I actually hope the princess finds someone she truly likes!"
After a pause, Ling Feng continued, "If thereās nothing else, Iāll take my leave. After all, this is already the Inner Palace area, and itās not good for me to stay here too long."
That said, Ling Feng cupped his hands towards Princess Yunxuan and turned to leave.
"Really... a strange man? Does he really not have any thoughts about me?" Princess Yunxuan watched Ling Fengās clear eyes, feeling a sense of frustration. Why was this nobody so calm in front of her? It really annoyed her!
In a palace within the Inner Palace, the Witch sat opposite a gentle woman. In front of them was a light mirror, displaying the meeting between Ling Feng and Princess Yunxuan, and even their conversation was clear as day.
"This cheeky girl, really..." The gentle woman chuckled wryly, "This child has been spoiled by me, and she could even come up with such a method. Sheās quite a handful!"
"Sister-in-law, Yunxuan is still young. I think my brother is also a bit too aggressive!" The Witch looked at the woman and chuckled, "But arenāt you at all interested in that young man?"
The gentle womanās brows raised, "This is what you were after, right? Who is he?"
"Heās... considered a legendary commoner!" The Witch sighed, "I never thought he would reach this level. Back then..."
...
Princess Yunxuan and Ling Feng never imagined that their every move was already being clearly observed by the Witch.
When Ling Feng returned to the main hall, Xue Wuhengās sword dance had just ended. A sheen of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he received praise from the Demon King and others. He smiled contentedly, clearly pleased with his performance.
"Hey, donāt you want to show off?" Murong Xingguang quietly asked Ling Feng.
Ling Feng shook his head. He had already agreed with Princess Yunxuan; no matter how outstanding Xue Wuheng was, he couldnāt become the Demon Kingās dragon son-in-law!
Looking at Xue Wuheng, who was trying his best, Ling Feng felt a tinge of pity for him ā such a poor kid.
Xue Wuheng seemed to feel Ling Fengās gaze. He turned his head to glance at him, and couldnāt help but frown. Ling Fengās gaze, like looking at an imbecile, was really annoying.
"Father, Iāve found the person I want to marry!" At this moment, Princess Yunxuan said crisply.
Everyone was stunned. Nobody expected Princess Yunxuan to announce it in public at this moment. The Demon King had intended to discuss it with her after the banquet.
Xue Wuhengās heart was slightly joyful. He had just finished his performance, and the princess said she had found her suitor. Was there anyone else but him?
The Demon King glanced at Princess Yunxuan and smiled, "Well, Xuaner, tell us, among these three young men, which one do you like?"
Princess Yunxuan looked at the three people. Xue Wuheng involuntarily straightened his chest. Princess Yunxuan pointed her finger at Ling Feng and said, "Father, itās him. Among these three, heās the only interesting one."
Xue Wuheng was stunned because Princess Yunxuanās finger wasnāt pointing at him but at Ling Feng beside him. How could this be?
"Your Royal Highness the Princess, the person you are talking about is..." Xue Wuheng couldnāt help but ask.
"Ling Feng!" Princess Yunxuan looked at Xue Wuheng oddly, "Are you cross-eyed? Or was my pointing not clear enough?"
Princess Yunxuanās words hit Xue Wuheng like a bolt from the blue. How could it be Ling Feng? He hadnāt shown anything. His previous response was even detested by the Great General. Why was it still him? Even if it was Murong Xingguang, it wouldnāt be him!
Xue Wuheng gritted his teeth furiously, staring at Ling Feng with eyes like a ravenous beast.
Ling Feng sighed. The boy was really shaken, not realizing that the more he performed, the less the princess liked him, as she never intended to marry anyway!
Though the Demon King didnāt understand why Princess Yunxuan chose Ling Feng, he was the most suitable choice for the Demon King, so he smiled and said, "I didnāt expect Xuaner to decide so quickly. Ling Feng, Iāll entrust the princess to you. Can you protect, cherish, and make her forever happy?"
Ling Feng stood up, half-kneeling in front of the Demon King, "Lord Demon King, it is my blessing to earn the princessās favor. I will definitely treat her well and never let her suffer the slightest grievance!"
The Demon King nodded, "Good, Ling Feng, remember what you said today. If one day, you let Xuaner suffer, I will not spare you!"
Ling Fengās lips twitched slightly, then he said solemnly, "I obey!"
At this moment, Situ Xing spoke, "Your Majesty, my return this time is partly to meet Xuanerās future husband and partly because the Abyssal Battlefield needs a batch of young elites. I want to take some promising talents from the Martial Training Camp!"
"Just right, Nameless has already broken through to the Azure Sky Realm. Take Nameless with you this time," the Demon King said. "With Namelessās strength, staying in the Imperial Capital is not a good thing!"
Situ Xing nodded, "Indeed, only the most brutal battlefield can forge the strongest warriors. However, I have one more thing I want to discuss with His Majesty."
