"Are you making fun of me?"
Du Shaofu could only smile bitterly as he looked at the charming lady before him. He recalled the North Vanquishing Prince's words. If this charming lady before him could not marry him in a few years, he would have no choice but to marry her. Awkwardness flashed across his eyes.
Xie Fei looked at Du Shaofu, the expression in her eyes fluctuating, as if she was rather surprised that he could recover to the point where there were no major problems in just ten days. Looking at the young man with a broadsword on his back, her heart was also secretly rippling a little, but she did not show it on her face. Her red lips slightly parted as she said, "I am not making fun of you, grandpa asked me to come and see how you are recovering."
"I'm fine now. I'll visit Grandfather Xie in a few days," Du Shaofu said.
Du Shaofu was about to lead Xie Fei into the mansion when the general, Ghost Child, Gu Xinyan, Wu Que and Guo Shaofeng coincidentally arrived.
The general and the other four had come together to check on Du Shaofu's recovery. However, when they arrived at the Courage God Mansion and saw that Du Shaofu was completely fine, they could not help but be surprised. Even their injuries were not as good as Du Shaofu's.
After a while, everyone naturally could not help but chat in the mansion's main hall.
As they chatted, the general, Ghost Child and the others could not help but be shocked when they saw Du Shaofu. The scene at the square back then had left them with lingering fear and shock.
Everyone knew that from now on, it would be difficult for them to catch up with the fierce lord in front of them in terms of strength. Being able to defeat a Martial King when he had just reached the Martial Marquis stage was simply abnormal.
"Your Highness, the First Princess has arrived."
While everyone was chatting, Dark Wolf hurried into the main hall and whispered into Du Shaofu's ear.
Just as Dark Wolf's voice sounded, a lady in an orange-red outfit had already walked into the hall. Her gaze swept across the hall as Xie Fei and the rest smiled. Her pearly white teeth gently parted as she said, "I saw the mounts outside and knew that all of you were here."
"Greetings, First Princess."
Xie Fei, General, Ghost Child, Wu Que, Ouyang Shuang, and the others stood up and bowed slightly. It could be said that other than Xie Fei, the others knew each other since they were young. They could even be considered childhood playmates.
"Everyone, there's no need to be so courteous. This is outside the palace, not inside."
The girl in tight attire walked forward with her long and slender legs, her slender waist was so small that it could not be grasped with one hand. Her elegant temperament carried a hint of coldness, but at this moment, she revealed a charming smile. Finally, she looked at Xie Fei and said: "I did not expect Sister Fei to be here as well."
"Grandpa told me to come and see the Brave God King, so here I am."
Xie Fei's beautiful eyes flickered as she looked around, giving off a different kind of charm. Her beauty was extremely alluring.
"Sister Fei, please send my regards to Grandpa Zhenbei after you go back."
The girl in tight attire was naturally First Princess Cheng Sheng-nan. After she finished speaking to Xie Fei, she looked around the hall. Xie Fei, Ouyang Shuang, Gu Xinyan, and the others were all present. Her beautiful eyes flickered with a slight ripple before finally landing on Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu looked at First Princess Cheng Sheng-nan. He originally wanted to hide, but in this situation, he was afraid that he could not hide anymore. Facing those beautiful eyes, he could only squeeze out a bitter smile.
"Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Cheng Sheng-nan secretly glared at Du Shaofu, but her extremely beautiful face maintained a smile the whole time.
"We're all on the same side, First Princess. If you have something to say, just say it here."
After being stunned for a moment, Du Shaofu immediately squeezed out a smile and said. He did not want to be alone with Cheng Sheng-nan. It would be bad if that woman suddenly attacked him. Moreover, he did not do it on purpose.
Cheng Sheng-nan raised her head and walked to Du Shaofu's side. She directly grabbed Du Shaofu's arm and said, "Just come with me."
As her voice faded, it was unknown whether it was intentional or not, but the First Princess Cheng Shengnan actually pulled Du Shaofu's arm and walked out of the hall under everyone's surprised and complicated gazes.
"First Princess seems to have a good relationship with him."
Wu Que, Ouyang Shuang, Xie Fei, Gu Xinyan, and the others were all secretly surprised.
"First Princess, what's the matter?"
Du Shaofu was being held by the First Princess. At this moment, he was definitely nervous. He knew very well that this woman would definitely attack at any moment. He had no choice but to be cautious.
"It's nothing big. Why are you so nervous? Don't worry, I won't hold it against you in the past. However, if you dare to say anything, I won't let you off."
The First Princess raised her head and glared at Du Shaofu with her beautiful eyes. However, she did not let go of Du Shaofu's arm and directly walked out of the mansion. She said, "Actually, it's my father who wants to see you. He has something important to discuss with you."
Du Shaofu was being held by the First Princess. He did not know when this woman would change her attitude again, so he did not dare to pull away. However, there was a faint fragrance beside him. It was like an orchid. For some reason, he felt a little restless.
Inside the Courage God King Mansion, many guards and maids were shocked when they saw this scene. …
"Greetings to the Courage God King!"
"Look, the Courage God King is here. He is the Courage God King who defeated Lu Kun from the Tianhu Empire and strengthened the prestige of our country."
"…"
As Du Shaofu entered the palace, there was a huge commotion in the palace. Along the way, many guards bowed respectfully with respect in their eyes.
Outside the Golden-dragon Palace, the First Princess Cheng Sheng-nan said to Du Shaofu, "My father is waiting for you inside. You can go in. I'll wait for you outside."
The Golden-dragon Palace was grand and magnificent. It had high eaves and green tiles. The rich Imperial Qi of the palace was still able to make Du Shaofu's surroundings tremble for no reason when he stepped in.
Inside the Golden-dragon Palace, a lifelike Golden Dragon was circling around. Emperor Cheng's aura was majestic without being angry. With a smile in his eyes, he looked at Du Shaofu and said, "How are your injuries recovering?"
"Greetings to Emperor Cheng. My injuries have recovered and there are no longer any problems."
Du Shaofu bowed slightly. When he faced Emperor Cheng again, he still felt an indescribable majesty. This majesty was closely related to the Imperial Qi of the palace.
"There's no need to be so polite. This time, I asked you to come here mainly to thank you on behalf of the entire empire."
Emperor Cheng smiled faintly. The dragon shadow on his dragon robe moved like a living creature. He looked at Du Shaofu with his deep eyes. He said, "This time, you defeated Lu Kun from the Sky Snake Sect and strengthened the prestige of our empire. You have made a great contribution. Therefore, I plan to give you the ten prefectures that I won as your fief. How about that?"
"Fief."
Hearing this, Du Shaofu was stunned. Ten prefectures. Who knew how many stone cities it would be? It was definitely a huge area. After pondering for a while, Du Shaofu raised his head and looked at Emperor Cheng. He said, "Emperor Cheng, I'm still young. I'm afraid this is not appropriate. I don't have the experience to manage ten prefectures. Why don't we talk about it in the future?"
Emperor Cheng's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise when he heard this. He then smiled and said, "If that's the case, then we'll talk about this in the future. Go back and recuperate well. If there's anything in the future, you can come to me at any time. If necessary, we can use the power of the empire."
"Thank you, Emperor Cheng." Du Shaofu nodded to express his gratitude. He chatted with Emperor Cheng for a while before leaving.
"How did the conversation with my father go?"
In the royal palace, First Princess Cheng Sheng-nan sent Du Shaofu out of the palace. She followed closely behind him with a charming smile on her face, which surprised many of the palace guards and maids. They had never seen the First Princess behaving in such a feminine manner before.
"We just chatted casually. We didn't talk much."
Facing the woman beside him, Du Shaofu felt uneasy. However, he knew that this woman could change her attitude at any moment.
"When are you returning to Tianwu Academy?"
Cheng Sheng-nan asked as she looked at the purple-robed young man beside her. She could still remember the domineering scene in the Spirit Canyon in the Savage Beast Mountain Range. This time, when he faced Lu Kun from the Sky Snake Sect, he was even more domineering, causing ripples in her heart.
"It should be soon."
Du Shaofu replied. He was a disciple of Tianwu Academy and there were many things that he had yet to learn. Naturally, he would have to return to Tianwu Academy.
"After you return, if you have the time, will you come and visit me?"
Cheng Sheng-nan suddenly looked at Du Shaofu and asked seriously. Her tall figure was like a proud snow lotus and her slender legs seemed to be teasing Du Shaofu.
Du Shaofu was taken aback. Looking at the woman before him, he asked, "Why should I visit you?"
"You …"
Hearing his words, Cheng Sheng-nan's expression changed. She looked at Du Shaofu angrily and glared at Du Shaofu before saying, "I won't be sending you off. You can leave the palace by yourself. Take this pill, it will help you recover from your injuries."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Sheng-nan smashed the jade bottle in her hand into Du Shaofu's palm. After which, she turned around and left.
"Women are truly fickle."
A bitter smile appeared on Du Shaofu's face as he watched the exquisite and tall figure leave. Then, he left.
"Idiot, you're definitely an idiot." Just as Du Shaofu left the palace, Zhen Qingchun's voice sounded in his ears.
Du Shaofu took out the small pagoda from his bosom and placed it in his palm. He asked Zhen Qingchun, "How am I an idiot?"
"That little girl has taken a liking to you. A little brat like you doesn't understand." Zhen Qing's mellow voice sounded out, and it revealed a feeling of age and seniority.
"She has fallen for me …"
Du Shaofu was stunned when he heard Zhen Qingchun's words.
Zhen Qingchun continued, "I feel that this lass isn't bad. Her talent is barely passable and she's pretty. Especially her figure, it's not bad. She's also the eldest princess of the Stone Dragon Empire. If you marry her, the entire Stone Dragon Empire might be yours in the future."
"I'm not interested in the Stone Dragon Empire."
Du Shaofu's eyes rippled when he heard Zhen Qingchun's words. He muttered softly, "I only want my family to be together."
