Inside the Capital City's restaurant.
Chu Kuangren woke up from his closed-door meditation. With his current understanding of the Dao and the help of the Black Light Sage's body, it only took him a few days to master the Gluttonous Devouring Technique.
This technique was very powerful, and Chu Kuangren believed that it would be of great help to him. However, this technique could easily damage one's luck, so he had to be cautious when using it.
Indeed.
In this world of cultivation, luck and merit existed as well. Therefore, many cultivators did not dare to go on a killing spree even if they were powerful. They were afraid that they would be tainted by karma and damage their own luck.
"Little guy, you're finally awake. Did you gain anything?"
The Seventh Forefather's voice came from the void.
"Yes, I gained something." Chu Kuangren smiled.
"Alright, I have something to tell you. You're quite lucky with women, kid. You even managed to win Princess Linglong's heart."
Chu Kuangren was drinking water when he heard the Seventh Forefather's words. He spat out the water in shock. "Seventh Forefather, how did you know!"
"Not only me, but the Sect Leader and the others also know."
"What happened?"
Chu Kuangren quickly asked.
"Two days ago, the Sect Leader agreed that the Black Heaven Sect will form an alliance with the Royal Azure Dynasty through marriage, and you will be the Fiancé of the Royal Azure Dynasty."
Chu Kuangren was dumbfounded.
What happened during his closed-door meditation?
It had only been a few days, and he was already sold?
How much did he sell for?
Can you give me a little?
"No, Seventh Forefather, why didn't you inform me first?"
"Princess Linglong has already given you the Godly Essence. Now that she has come to you, are you going to reject her?"
The Seventh Forefather teased.
"Princess Linglong and I did this for a reason. Back in the Secret Realm, we had to do this to protect ourselves. We don't have any feelings for each other."
"Feelings can be nurtured. If you really don't like it, when you become stronger in the future, it's just a matter of writing a divorce letter."
Chu Kuangren was speechless.
Was that even possible? That was just too much!
However, Chu Kuangren could sense something else from the Seventh Forefather's words. "You want the Royal Azure Dynasty to protect me?"
"Yes, that's right."
"The reason why I agreed to this was firstly to form an alliance with the Royal Azure Dynasty, which is mutually beneficial. Secondly, it was because of you."
"Little guy, you're too talented. Many people will have their eyes on you. Although the Black Heaven Sect is powerful, we don't have full confidence that we can always protect you. Therefore, we need allies."
"The Royal Azure Dynasty is a sage orthodoxy, and their strength is not any weaker than the Black Heaven Sect. If you marry Princess Linglong, the Royal Azure Dynasty will definitely protect you. Both of our sage orthodoxies will protect you."
After listening to the Seventh Forefather, Chu Kuangren fell into deep thought.
He could feel the Black Heaven Sect's good intentions, and by doing so, it was also a form of compensation to Princess Linglong.
As far as he was concerned, a marriage alliance would only be beneficial to him.
"Prince Consort? This is my first time doing it. "
Chu Kuangren scratched his head and said.
"Nonsense, how many more times do you want to do it?"
The Seventh Ancestor said snappily.
…
When he left the room, Lan Yu was waiting outside.
"Young Master, you're out of seclusion."
"Yes." Chu Kuangren smiled and nodded. After hesitating for a while, he told her about the marriage alliance between him and Princess Linglong.
Lan Yu was stunned for a while and felt a little sour in her heart. "I didn't expect Princess Linglong to have such a relationship with you. How should I address Princess Linglong from now on? Matriarch?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Besides, Lan Yu, I've never treated you as a slave." Chu Kuangren said the last sentence with a serious expression.
Lan Yu's heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
To her, Chu Kuangren was a deity, a creator like existence. She, on the other hand, was just a slave created by Chu Kuangren.
There was a clear line between a slave and a deity.
However, this deity was too gentle to her.
He was so gentle that she would occasionally feel different emotions, even trying to cross the line that she had set for herself.
"Brother Chu, someone's looking for you."
Just then, Li Xingchen shouted from downstairs.
Behind him was an old man wearing a tall hat.
"Look, it's Chief Cao from the palace."
"I heard that he's a trusted aide of the Royal Azure Dynasty King. He usually stays in the palace. Why is he here today?"
"And he's here for Chu Kuangren. That's strange."
The cultivators in the restaurant were discussing among themselves.
Chu Kuangren brought Lan Yu downstairs.
"Master Chu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Chief Cao walked up to Chu Kuangren and bowed in front of everyone.
Everyone was shocked by this.
Chief Cao's position in the palace was not ordinary. He was in charge of the palace's internal affairs. Even the Crown Prince had to treat him with respect.
Now, he was bowing to Chu Kuangren.
In a sense, it represented the Royal Azure Dynasty King's attitude.
"You're welcome, Chief Cao." Chu Kuangren smiled. He used the Eye of Revelation to take a look. 'Wow, this is an Honorable.'
Someone who could accompany the Royal Azure Dynasty King was no ordinary person.
"Master Chu, the Royal Azure Dynasty King has asked me to invite you to the palace for a chat."
"Alright, I understand."
Chu Kuangren nodded slightly and brought Lan Yu to the palace.
In the back garden of the palace.
The Royal Azure Dynasty King had long prepared to meet Chu Kuangren. He had only heard about it before, so he could not help but feel curious and excited.
Not long after.
Chief Cao led Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu to the back garden.
The Royal Azure Dynasty King could not help but be amazed at the first sight of Chu Kuangren. "What an immortal."
Dressed in a wide-sleeved white robe with a jade crown on his head, Chu Kuangren had handsome facial features and an ethereal aura. He was like a prince, peerless in this world.
"Greetings, Royal Azure Dynasty King." Chu Kuangren saw the Royal Azure Dynasty King at first glance. It was hard not to notice his golden dragon robe.
"No need for formalities. Come, have a seat."
"Thank you, Royal Azure Dynasty King."
"Heh, in a few days, you'll have to call me father like Linglong does." The Royal Azure Dynasty King smiled.
Chu Kuangren smiled but did not say anything.
"The reason I called you here is to meet you. I also want to inform you that I'll announce you as the Fiancé in two days."
"Understood. I'll leave it to you."
"Alright."
The Royal Azure Dynasty King nodded and did not say anything else.
Chu Kuangren was even more speechless. The two men sat together, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
"The Empress has arrived." At that moment, a graceful and elegant woman walked over slowly. Her facial features bore some resemblance to Princess Linglong.
Chu Kuangren stood up to welcome her. "Greetings, Empress."
"Oh, you're Chu Kuangren, right? You're indeed a celestial being. No wonder my Linglong is so infatuated with you."
"You're flattering me, Empress. You're the true mother of the world." Chu Kuangren smiled.
"Heh, you're such a sweet talker."
The Empress was very talkative. She talked about topics ranging from astronomy to geography, and in between, all sorts of interesting anecdotes.
Moreover, she was very observant. Once she realized that Chu Kuangren could not continue the conversation or was disinterested, she would subtly change the topic.
Her arrival instantly warmed up the atmosphere.
"Kuangren, come visit the palace more often when you're free."
The Empress said reluctantly before leaving.
"I will."
