Chapter 1658: Chapter 1656: Feng Family Welcome Banquet
Looking at Princess Yun Xuanās angry face, Ling Feng smiled wryly, "Alright then, but my time is really limited. Letās go out for a walk tomorrow!"
Princess Yun Xuanās expression brightened up, "Alright, itās settled then!"
Yawning, Princess Yun Xuan said, "Iāve been traveling constantly these days, Iām exhausted. Iāll go rest for a bit... My fiancĆ©, would you like to join me?"
Ling Fengās mouth twitched, "Princess, donāt you think youāre playing with fire? Be careful that I really canāt control myself and force you; youāll regret it then!"
"Tch!" Princess Yun Xuan muttered, "If you dare, come at me! This princess isnāt afraid of you!"
But Ling Feng didnāt hear this sentence; instead, he turned and left the room.
Looking at Ling Fengās back view, Princess Yun Xuan felt a bit uneasy.
Initially, she really didnāt want to get married, so she made the agreement with Ling Feng. But on the way to the Abyssal Battlefield, when Ling Feng took on numerous attacks from different races, leaving the hope of retreat to her, a ripple stirred in Princess Yun Xuanās heart.
Later, when she was captured and in despair, Ling Feng appeared before her like a Heavenly God, killed Ye Tusu, and saved her. From that moment, Princess Yun Xuan found an emerging shadow in her heart, yet she was unwilling to admit it!
Until that dead girl Guli Jia openly attempted to "snatch" Ling Feng, only then did Princess Yun Xuan feel threatened, prompting her to follow Ling Feng under the guise of wanting to take a stroll.
Yet that stubborn Ling Feng seemed not to notice Princess Yun Xuanās change, which annoyed the princess the most.
Ling Feng left the room, looking at the surrounding, orderly buildings, his heart filled with admiration. The Fishmen Raceās Undersea City was not inferior to the Imperial Capital of the Abyssal Court.
"Ling Feng!" At this moment, a voice came from behind Ling Feng, prompting him to turn and see, "Senior Gui Hao, whatās up?"
Gui Hao approached Ling Feng, "Iāve spoken to His Majesty about you, and heās quite interested. After the welcoming feast, come with me; His Majesty wishes to ask you some things!"
An excited gleam flashed in Ling Fengās eyes; allying with the Fishmen Race indeed was a thrilling challenge. Ling Feng discovered along the way that the Fishmen Raceās strength surpassed that of the Abyssal Demon Abyss, and while probably not on par with the Abyssal Court, occupying the Sea of Spiritual Void put them in an indomitable position.
"Do your best, I have high hopes for you!" Gui Hao patted Ling Fengās shoulder, then turned away, leaving Ling Feng bewildered.
Shortly after, a servant came to invite Ling Feng and Princess Yun Xuan. They followed the servant to a palace within the Fishmen Raceās Imperial City.
"Come, Ling Feng, my little friend. Iāve heard about you from Gui Hao. Sit beside me; letās have a good chat!" Gu Lin, having seen Ling Feng, gestured for him to come over.
Ling Feng and Princess Yun Xuan sat next to Gu Linās right side. Gu Lin looked Ling Feng up and down, "Ling Feng, Jia Er and Gui Hao owe their rescue to you. One is my treasured Pearl, the other a pillar for our Fishmen Race; your contributions to us are immense!"
Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Actually, Senior Gui Hao helped me quite a lot as well; weāre mutually beneficial. Emperor Gu Linās gratitude is too flattering for me!"
Ling Fengās measured attitude made Gu Lin satisfied; he smiled at Princess Yun Xuan, "Princess Yun Xuan, although itās not as grand as the Imperial Capital of the Abyssal Court, it has its unique charm compared to the Abyss Continent. As Ling Fengās fiancĆ©e, and our friend, feel at home here."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Princess Yun Xuan responded with a gentle smile, her demeanor radiating the grace of a noble lady.
Ling Feng glanced around and saw that besides His Majesty Gulin, only Senior Gui Hao was present.
Just then, footsteps approached, followed by enchanting fairy music.
Two dignified and elegant women walked in, adorned in luxurious attire, Pearl Crowns atop their heads, their Rosy Cloud Robes sparkling. They seemed like fairies stepped out of a painting.

"Oh!" Upon seeing the two womenās appearances, Ling Feng couldnāt help but take a deep breath; the older woman was the Fishmen Raceās Empress, while the younger was shockingly Guli Jia!
"I didnāt expect Guli Jia to look so beautiful!" Ling Feng couldnāt resist glancing more.
Princess Yun Xuan instantly sensed a strong hostility, dressing so beautifully, was she trying to "seduce" my Ling Feng?
Moreover, seeing Ling Feng in a dazed state, Princess Yun Xuan quietly pinched Ling Fengās waist hard!
Ling Fengās mouth twitched; he glanced at Princess Yun Xuan, who seemed unaffected, maintaining excellent composure!
"Empress, Princess!" Gui Hao performed a deep bow; Ling Feng was preparing to follow suit, but was stopped by the Empress.
"Ling Feng, you are a guest and Jia Erās savior, no need for formalities!"
The Empressās voice was melodious, offering a pleasant feeling, yet Ling Feng sensed something unusual in the Empressās gaze directed at him.
Guli Jia stealthily glanced at Ling Feng, then cheekily winked, seemingly playful and mischievous.
"Originally, I wanted to host a grand banquet, but the Empress suggested that might be too distant and formal." Gu Lin said to Ling Feng, "So letās consider this a family gathering."
Gu Linās words carried implications, but Ling Feng didnāt see anything amiss; he didnāt like too much fanfare, so he nodded, "Thatās just right, the Empressās idea is considerate."
At this moment, three figures clad in armor walked in, "Father, has little sister returned?"
Walking in were three handsome and spirited youths, each at the Divine Sea Realm Peak cultivation, their words and demeanor clearly indicating they were Guli Jiaās brothers.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother!" Guli Jia, seeing her three brothers, almost jumped with joy.
"Where did you wander off to these days, you troublesome girl?" The eldest brother affectionately patted Guli Jiaās head, "You canāt do this again!"
"I know, I know, you donāt have to fuss over me!" Guli Jia pouted.
The youth laughed, then looked at Ling Feng, "You must be Ling Feng, the one who saved our little sister. Iām her eldest brother Guliyun; please accept my gratitude!"
Saying so, Guliyun gave Ling Feng a deep bow.
