Loulan Palace, Empress Palace.
Right now, the empress sat quietly in the pavilion. Beside her, Loulan Xue stood there like a statue.
"What do you think of him?" the empress suddenly asked.
Loulan Xue's silver eyes flashed. Glancing at the empress, she was confused.
"Ye Futian," the empress said again.
"He's very talented," Loulan Xue whispered.
"What else?" the empress asked again.
Loulan Xue's eyelashes fluttered. She still didn't understand what her mother meant.
Seeing Loulan Xue's eyes, the empress thought that her daughter was really ignorant. She gazed at the pond beside the pavilion and said softly, "He's very handsome too. It's hard to find such a handsome person in the palace. He's also very talented. He's a bit young but age has never been a problem in the cultivation world. What do you think?"
Loulan Xue's silver eyes gradually widened. A strange look flashed across her eyes. She naturally understood what her mother meant.
"I haven't considered it." Loulan Xue's voice was still cold.
"It's not too late to consider now." The empress' gaze slowly turned and landed on Loulan Xue. "You have to consider it sooner or later. Now that you've met such a suitable person, if you miss him, it'll be hard to find someone better."
Loulan Xue looked into the empress' eyes. The empress's words made sense.
He'd obtained the book with a ritual implement in the First Level Dharma Plane. Her mother had also told her that Ye Futian could communicate with the will of the ancestors in the book. His talent was obvious and he was also very handsome. He was indeed a very suitable candidate.
Seeing Loulan Xue thinking, the empress continued, "If you don't choose him this time, it'll be someone else in the future. Think carefully."
Loulan Xue thought for a moment and nodded lightly. "Okay."
Her answer was very simple. It was as if this wasn't a major event in her life but more like a mission.
Just as the empress had said, someone like this would have to happen sooner or later. She had a good impression of Ye Futian and found him pleasing to the eye.
"Then it's decided." A smile appeared in the Empress' eyes. She naturally knew what her daughter's personality was like. She was very indifferent to everything, just like her temperament showed. She was probably the same when it came to relationships. They had only known each other for a short period of time, so there wasn't any deep feelings. However, she knew how to make the right choice.
Ye Futian was indeed a good choice.
"Heaven Empress." At this time, a maid came over and said, "He came out."
"Just in time." The Empress smiled and said, "Invite him here."
The maid was shocked. The Empress actually allowed Ye Futian to come to her palace? No man had ever been treated like this.
Although she was shocked, she still suppressed it and bowed to accept the order.
Not long after, Ye Futian was brought here. Looking at the Empress and Loulan Xue, they were like sisters. They were both cold beauties, but the Empress' beauty was dignified. No one dared to blaspheme her. Loulan Xue had silver hair and white eyes, beautiful and enchanting.
"Greetings, Empress." Ye Futian bowed.
"Yes." The Empress nodded calmly. She looked at Ye Futian and asked, "How's your cultivation?"
"My cultivation has improved a little. Thank you, Empress," Ye Futian thanked her. He was a little confused as to why the Empress would invite him here. The palace where the Empress and Virgin lived didn't seem like a place he should step foot in.
"You deserve it," the Empress said casually. "How does the Virgin look?"
Ye Futian was stunned. He blinked. What was going on?
He looked at Loulan Xue beside him. She stood there coldly and quietly like a statue.
"Of course, she's very beautiful." Ye Futian nodded. This was the truth. He had always been honest.
"In Ancient Loulan, the Virgin is outstanding in both looks and talents. No one can compare to her." The Empress praised herself as well.
Ye Futian's mind raced. What did the Empress mean by saying this?
"It's also because of this that there are few men in Ancient Loulan who are worthy of the Virgin." The Empress looked at Ye Futian and said, "Her marriage is giving me a headache."
Ye Futian didn't dare to reply. An absurd thought formed in his mind.
Could it be that his looks had caused trouble again?
"What do you think about this?" The Empress' gaze fell on Ye Futian, smiling.
"I don't dare to comment on such an important matter." Ye Futian lowered his head. He had a bad feeling.
The Empress smiled at Ye Futian. Was this guy playing dumb with her?
He'd already said it so clearly but he didn't say anything. Did he have to make her say it herself?
This guy was really cunning.
"If I betroth the Virgin to you, what do you think?" the Empress asked calmly. Her tone was casual.
But Ye Futian's body tensed. He was even more nervous than when he'd faced the Noble army in the battlefield of the relic.
Now, he was in the Empress' palace. The Empress had betrothed the Virgin to him. One could imagine how much pressure he was under.
"How can I be worthy of the Virgin?" Ye Futian said politely.
As soon as he spoke, an invisible pressure fell on him. He felt cold. It was the Empress' aura.
"If I say you're worthy, there's naturally no problem," the Empress said. This guy still dared to say no?
"…"
Ye Futian was dumbfounded.
Thinking quickly, he said, "I've only just met the Virgin. We've never interacted before. Wouldn't it be too hard for the Virgin to be so careless?"
Loulan Xue looked at him calmly and said, "I don't have any objections."
"…"
Ye Futian was completely speechless. Even if he was handsome, he didn't have to be so direct.
"Since I asked you to come, I've obviously asked her. You don't have to consider anything else." The Empress looked at Ye Futian. "I'll choose a good date and announce it to the world. We'll pick a day to get married. What do you think?"
"Empress, you can't." Ye Futian's expression changed. Jieyu was still waiting for him in the Cangye Kingdom. How could he marry someone else? What was this?
The Empress frowned. She exuded a real, authoritative aura that fell on Ye Futian.
"I already have a woman I love." Ye Futian saw that he couldn't beat around the bush anymore and could only speak the truth.
"Can she be more outstanding than the Virgin?" The Empress asked coldly after a moment of shock. She had betrothed Loulan Xue to Ye Futian but he was unwilling and had even tried to stop her. As the Empress, she was naturally unhappy.
"Empress, this isn't a matter of excellence," Ye Futian said. In his heart, Jieyu was naturally more outstanding. However, he couldn't say that out loud.
The Empress stared at Ye Futian. However, she saw that Ye Futian's eyes were filled with stubbornness. He stared back at her and refused to budge.
The authoritative aura dissipated and the Empress said again, "If that's the case, then let her be a concubine."
Let Jieyu be a concubine?
Ye Futian looked at the Empress and shook his head.
The Empress' frown deepened. She stared at Ye Futian and said coldly, "Do you want the Virgin to be a concubine?"
She had already given Ye Futian enough face. If not for the Sage's favor, with her status as the Empress, she wouldn't have to treat a junior like this.
However, this guy didn't seem to want it.
"Then I'll kill her," the Empress said coldly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Futian's eyes sharpened. They were like swords stabbing at the Empress. Clenching his fists, he tried to control his anger.
As if feeling the change in Ye Futian, the Empress' aura grew colder. The space around them seemed to be frozen.
For a moment, the atmosphere in this space dropped to the freezing point. It was extremely cold.
Loulan Xue didn't expect things to turn out this way. Looking at the two before her, she said, "If he doesn't agree, then forget it."
Hearing Loulan Xue's words, the Empress' anger didn't subside. Instead, her coldness intensified. She had personally proposed for her daughter and betrothed her to Ye Futian but was rejected. Now hearing Loulan Xue's words, she felt that her daughter had been greatly wronged.
"Guards," the Empress said coldly. Several women flashed over.
"Take this b * stard down and watch him," the Empress ordered coldly.
"Yes." The women walked up.
"I'll go myself." Ye Futian turned and walked away. The women followed behind him.
"Arrogant," the Empress said angrily. This b * stard.
"You want me to marry him because you value his talent. You want him to become a part of Loulan. But now, you've offended him." Loulan Xue was actually calmer. Even though she felt strange, her mother betrothed her to Ye Futian and she'd clearly agreed.
But she'd actually been rejected …
"Then kill him," the Empress said coldly. So what if he was talented? She'd already given in and allowed him to marry two. But this b * stard had rejected her directly. Did he want Loulan Xue to be his concubine? Or did he think that Loulan Xue wasn't good enough for him?
"Why do this? Didn't you say that the sages all value him?" Loulan Xue tried to persuade.
The Empress' anger gradually disappeared. She was just unhappy. After all, this concerned her only daughter. She'd betrothed herself to Ye Futian but he'd ignored her. As the Empress, it wasn't hard to imagine how she felt.
"I'll go ask the sages." The Heaven Queen's figure flashed and she left the place. Not long after, she arrived at the ancient temple where she cultivated and sat down in the middle of the ice formation.
The book was still floating in the air. The Empress' consciousness entered.
After a while, the Empress opened her eyes again, a strange expression on her face.
Lifting her feet, the Empress walked out. After a while, she came to another place. It was where Ye Futian was imprisoned.
Right now, Ye Futian was being watched. Seeing the Empress, he was also unhappy.
Loulan Xue was beautiful, but so what? Was he going to marry her?
"What are you thinking?" The Empress asked Ye Futian. Her tone was calmer now. She wasn't as angry as when Ye Futian had left.
"I don't understand what you mean," Ye Futian said.
"After you left, I really wanted to kill you but the Virgin pleaded for you," the Empress said.
"Then thank the Virgin for me." Ye Futian's tone was cold.
"I'll take another step back. What if I don't separate wives and concubines?" the Empress said.
"No," Ye Futian said calmly.
