465: The Empress ordered that they would get married in ten days!
A short while later.
The dignified Imperial Preceptor Nan Yin walked over with a tall, handsome middle-aged man.
Even South Yin was quite handsome for his age.
Compared to this middle-aged man, he fell quite short.
Guo Feng recognized him at a glance: this was Hua Yinxi's father and Hua Shangyue's elder brother—Duke Wei, Hua Wei Long!
Hua Wei Long was full of heroic spirit.
And very handsome!
Rumor had it that he was a hundred years older than Hua Shangyue.
Now, it seemed his siblings were indeed quite like biological relatives.
"Wind King, long time no see."
South Yin smiled and cupped his hands.
"Wind King, crew finally meet."
Hua Wei Long also had a warm expression.
Guo Feng cupped his hands in return: "Good morning, both of you."
He paused, "I wonder if you two have come to my King Feng Manor to convey a message from Hua Shangyue?"
"Indeed."
South Yin nodded, "Empress has already made up her mind, so she ordered us two to convey it to you, Wind King."
"She's not coming?" Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.
"She's not coming," South Yin shook his head.
Hua Wei Long then said, "Although Empress is brave and skilled in battle, it's naturally not appropriate for her to discuss these matters herself."
"So, what did she say?" Guo Feng looked at Hua Wei Long.
Hua Wei Long smiled, "Wind King, you are young and promising, handsome and talented, and your strength is outstanding, so Empress is naturally willing to marry you."
He paused, "So, Wind King, Empress has sent us here to formally inform you that she is willing to marry you and share the Yan Yang Empire with you."
South Yin also said seriously, "Congratulations, Wind King! However, Empress also brought her verbal decree."
"Oh?"
Guo Feng couldn't help but smile upon hearing this.
Hua Shangyue had finally agreed.
Whether it was her appearance or her temperament, Hua Shangyue was of the highest caliber.
Moreover, she exuded an alluring sense of mystery.
Although he knew she carried a certain danger, Guo Feng was still very satisfied and happy.
After all, such a woman was probably one in a billion.
He then looked at South Yin, "What verbal decree does she have? Speak."
"Empress said that your wedding with her will be held ten days later at the Imperial Palace in the Imperial Capital."
"At that time, she will abdicate the throne and cede it to you, and she will retire to the position of Empress Dowager."
"If you agree, she will send invitations to the other Nine Great Empires and the Chaotic Empire, inviting them to witness the ceremony."
South Yin said, looking at Guo Feng, "Wind King, ten days from now, you might become the Wind Emperor of my Yan Yang Empire."
"Is that so?"
Guo Feng frowned. What was Hua Shangyue up to?
Getting married directly in ten days?
And inviting people from the Nine Great Empires and the Chaotic Empire to witness the ceremony?
She was probably faking the marriage; the real intention was to cause a major stir.
However, once she sent out the invitations, Hua Shangyue would be his legitimate wife.
And he, Guo Feng, would legitimately become the Wind Emperor of the Yan Yang Empire in ten days.
No matter what tricks Hua Shangyue was playing.
She had paved the way.
As long as Guo Feng survived, everything would fall into place naturally.
He chuckled, "Marriage is a big deal. Her only sending you two is not sincere enough. Have her come herself."
He paused, "Also, tell her that I have other matters to discuss with her."
"Have Empress come..."
South Yin looked troubled.
Guo Feng said indifferently, "What, in ten days, I will be the Wind Emperor, and she will be the Empress Dowager. Is there anything inappropriate about me asking her to come here?"
"Nothing inappropriate."
South Yin gave a wry smile, quickly cupped his hands, "I will immediately go invite Empress."
"No need."
Before South Yin's words had even finished, a cold voice drifted over.
The next moment.
Hua Shangyue, radiating dazzling light, had already appeared at the entrance of the main hall.
"Greetings, Empress!"
Everyone hurriedly bowed to Hua Shangyue.
Hua Shangyue waved a hand: "Dispense with the formalities. All of you, leave. I have words to speak with the Wind King."
"Yes."
No one dared to hesitate, and they hurried out.
Guo Feng looked at Hua Shangyue and waved a hand: "Sit wherever you like."
Hua Shangyue glanced at him, first waved her hand, and set up a barrier in the main hall.
Then, she pulled up a chair and sat directly opposite Guo Feng.
The distance between them was less than a meter.
Her gaze carried a stubbornness and a strong will.
Guo Feng couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
This Empress, she would set up a barrier at the slightest provocation, and when no one else was around, she seemed like a completely different person.
Did she have dissociative identity disorder?
He then saw Hua Shangyue just looking at him, not speaking.
He couldn't help but feel a little unnerved.
He quickly broke the silence: "What do you mean by this arrangement?"
"Didn't you want Qin Wang City and Guo Wang City? Good, I'll give you the Yan Yang Empire, and I'll even help you conquer the entire Chaos Continent."
Hua Shangyue said.
"What?"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow. This woman really was planning something big.
Hua Shangyue continued, "Didn't I once say that my man must be stronger than me, a peerless hero?"
"And then?" Guo Feng asked.
"Then, I'll give the position to you! I'll widely invite people from the Nine Great Empires and the Chaotic Empire to attend our wedding and the abdication ceremony."
Hua Shangyue revealed a slight smile, "Afterward, we'll find a reason to either kill or imprison those who came to witness, and then issue a formal condemnation of the Nine Great Empires and the Chaotic Empire."
"At that time, they will inevitably be angered by us and unite, intending to carve up our Yan Yang Empire."
She stared at Guo Feng, "They'll come in waves, and we'll kill them in waves. Once their strength is weakened, we'll conquer them one empire at a time. Finally, you will be the sole Wind Emperor of the Chaos Continent!"
"Are you crazy?"
Guo Feng's mouth twitched. Hua Shangyue's plan was truly insane.
Hua Shangyue chuckled softly: "Didn't you completely disregard the Chaotic Empire's imperial family? Are you scared?"
Guo Feng stared at Hua Shangyue: "Are you serious?"
"I've told you this much, how could it be false?" Hua Shangyue retorted.
"Tonight, consummation. If we consummate, I'll believe you."
Guo Feng said.
Hua Shangyue shook her head: "Dream on. If we're going to consummate, it will be on our wedding day."
She paused, "Don't worry, I'll immediately have people send out announcements nationwide about our marriage and the abdication of the throne."
"Alright, but even if we don't consummate, you still have to show some affection; don't be so aloof."
Guo Feng said, patting his thigh, "Come up!"
"Guo Feng, you're truly domineering."
Hua Shangyue said, yet she stood up, not sitting on Guo Feng's lap, but instead cupping Guo Feng's face.
She domineeringly leaned down and kissed him!
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.
Hua Shangyue did not just peck him, but rather prolonged the kiss for a full two minutes.
Their lips parted.
"Hmm, not bad."
Hua Shangyue turned around, satisfied, "Guo Feng, I hope you don't disappoint me. I'm staking an empire on you."
She spoke as she walked out, "Don't just stand there. I naturally know about the Evil Demon King. Let's go to Sumeru Land first and wait for Mo Daoqing and the crew to meet up."
"Oh?"
Guo Feng was startled, then followed her, forcefully grabbing Hua Shangyue's hand.
He chuckled, "Woman, you can't be more forceful than me!"
With that, the two of them flew hand in hand out of the Imperial Capital...
