"Your highness, you must have seen it as well. As soon as we entered the Divine Medicinal Garden, Xin 'er and the others were surrounded and attacked by basically all the Divine Kings in the Divine Medicinal Garden. Under such tense circumstances, Xin' er had no choice but to swallow the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways. I hope your highness can forgive me …" Yun Lianqing stood behind the fifth prince as he spoke uneasily.
The fifth prince possessed great authority in the Sky Empire. He could command hundreds of people with a single call. Out of the several dozen princes in the Sky Empire, he was one of the three most dazzling princes who had the greatest chance of becoming an emperor in the future. He was highly valued by the current emperor of the Sky Empire, and he had the support of a peak sect in the Sky Empire. His authority was so great that the Yun family could not afford to offend him.
The hearts of the Divine Kings of the Yun family all sank when they saw how the fifth prince remained silent with a sunken face.
Suddenly, the Fifth Prince's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and a warm and enchanting smile appeared on his face. Immediately, it gave the Yun Family members a feeling as if they were bathing in a spring breeze. It was as if the haze in their hearts had completely dissipated at this moment.
"Congratulations, miss Yun Xin, for obtaining the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways. If everything goes smoothly, reaching Chaotic Prime will not be difficult," the fifth prince smiled at Yun Xin. Afterwards, under Yun Xin's surprised gaze, he clasped his fist at Yun Xin and said, "Miss Yun Xin, you must know who I am already. I hope to take you as my wife. May I ask if you like me, miss Yun Xin?"
Although the fifth prince spoke warmly and politely, his gaze towards Yun Xin was filled with some sharpness. He wanted everyone to understand that if Yun Xin did not agree, the outcome would not be good.
Yun Xin's pale face became even paler. She wanted to turn him down, but she did not dare to speak. This was because the fifth prince had already made it clear. No matter what reason she used to turn him down, she would be looking down on him.
If she offended the fifth prince in the Cang Poseidon Palace, the Yun family would fall into great trouble without a doubt. It might even lead to disaster.
At the same time, the Divine Kings of the Yun family constantly sent messages to Yun Xin. They all wanted Yun Xin to agree first helplessly.
Now that things had developed like this, the Yun family had no other choice. They could only compromise to ensure the safety of the family.
Yun Xin gritted her teeth. Even though she was unwilling, she still agreed to become the fifth prince's wife in the end.
"From today onwards, I will cultivate diligently. Once I become powerful, I will make the fifth prince regret this for the rest of his life," Yun Xin made up of herself, "Yun Xin made up her mind Yun Xin... At most, she had reached a verbal agreement with the Fifth Prince. As long as they were not married, they were not considered husband and wife.
The Fifth Prince laughed heartily and said, "Good, good, good. From now on, this Emperor and your Yun Clan are one family. Xin 'er, when we return to the Profound Thunder Continent, I will immediately report this to my father and marry you. " The fifth prince's unhappiness disappeared. Although he did not obtain the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, as long as he married Yun Xin, the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways would not fall into the hands of an outsider.
Moreover, with his relationship with Yun Xin, he would have an absolute advantage when fighting for the throne in the future.
"Xin 'er, let's go. You will follow me from now on. I will show you the splendor of the Cang Poseidon Palace." The fifth prince stepped forward and put his arm around Yun Xin's waist.
Yun Xin frowned. She twisted her body unnaturally, wanting to break free from the fifth prince's grasp. However, she discovered that she was unable to do so. Her face immediately changed, and she glanced at Jianchen beside her.
In order to protect the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways, Jianchen had engaged in an intense battle with Mo Cheng before fending off so many Divine King in the Divine Medicinal Garden. Yun Xin could clearly remember all the difficult battles he had gone through. Yun Xin felt a pang of sorrow for some reason when she saw Jianchen bathed in blood and the terrifying wounds all over him.
Yun Xin could not help but shed two streams of tears of regret when she thought about how she had made things difficult for Jianchen and how she had treated Jianchen when she first met Jianchen and learned that the three of them had taken up the spots that should have belonged to her three good friends.
"Jianchen, I'm sorry," Yun Xin could only apologize inside. Only now did she truly understand Jianchen.
The fifth prince noticed all the subtle changes in Yun Xin. He looked at Jianchen and asked gently, "Xin 'er, who is he?" The fifth prince's voice was filled with deep disdain for Jianchen.
"Your highness, the three of them came across our Yun family along the way. Due to the limited number of Divine King of our Yun family, we gave the three extra spots to them. In exchange for the spots, the three of them will temporarily become Xin 'er's guards in the Cang Poseidon Palace to protect Xin' er from harm, "Yun Lianqing immediately explained before Yun Xin could say anything. He understood the fifth prince's personality very well. Now that Xin 'er had become the fifth prince's consort in name, he was afraid that the fifth prince would hold a grudge and make things difficult for Jianchen and the others.
"Xin 'er, is that true?" The fifth prince looked at Yun Xin.
Yun Xin nodded without saying anything.
The fifth prince glanced at Jian Chen deeply before no longer staying there. He left the Divine Medicinal Garden with everyone.
After the fifth prince and the others left, Master Chanlong emerged from the formations. He exhaled deeply and said, "And I had thought that there would be an unavoidable battle, so I immediately cast down several formations as quickly as I could. Fortunately, the battle didn't begin, or even with my formations, we probably wouldn't have been able to stop the group of people because they have a god artifact. "
Jianchen sighed gently, "I wonder if letting Yun Xin eat the Spiritual Root of Heavenly Ways was the right thing to do. Although it's a great fortuitous encounter for her, it's also a pit of fire for her. Before she becomes truly powerful, she won't be able to break free from the fifth prince's clutches. "
Caia walked out as well. He stood beside Jianchen and looked at Jianchen's bloodied appearance. A sliver of mixed feelings appeared in his eyes as he asked nonchalantly, "Was it worth it for you to do this?"
"It's just that there are some things that can be done and some things that can't be done. It's not about whether it was worth it or not. However, it's all in the past now. Yun Xin has left with the fifth prince as well, so our agreement with the Yun family can be considered complete. " Jianchen continued after a moment of thought, "However, the fifth prince clearly saw the expression on Yun Xin's face when she left. He's not a kind person either, so no one knows what he'll do to us."
