232: Chapter 232 The Dragon Emperor's Orders!
After hearing Dragon Emperor Aotian's words, Daoist Master Cangxuan could not help but sigh in his heart.
He had known it.
The other party would absolutely not let him off easily.
A dignified Dragon Emperor, a super powerhouse in the Half-Step Immortal Realm, how could he possibly make such a big fuss to call him over just to ask a few questions?
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, what do you want to do?"
Daoist Master Cangxuan wore a look of resignation, his voice tinged with helplessness.
In a world where strength is respected, the weak can only accept the arrangements of the strong; they have no right to bargain!
He was very clear about this point in his heart!
And Dragon Emperor Aotian, who was on the side, spoke with a smile on his face upon hearing Daoist Master Cangxuan's words.
"You also know! Our Dragon Clan... is a very traditional race."
"Women in the Dragon Clan, once their bodies have been seen by someone, must either kill the person or marry them. Since you have seen my daughter's body, there are only two choices—either die, or marry her."
As his voice fell, the Dragon Emperor Palace was silent.
The expression on Daoist Master Cangxuan's face froze instantly.
He looked at Dragon Emperor Aotian's serious face, his lips trembling several times; he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
How do you have the nerve to say that your Dragon Clan is very traditional?
Do you think the four words "Dragons are inherently lustful" are just for show?
Or do you think I'm a country bumpkin who has never heard of anything?
Your Dragon Clan's romantic affairs could fill tens of thousands of pages if one just flipped through ancient books, and now you're telling me you're conservative?
Do you even know the meaning of the word 'conservative'?
This is shameless...
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, what you are saying is impossible!"
Daoist Master Cangxuan didn't even think about it and refused decisively.
"This Junior is used to being single and has no thoughts of marriage. Besides, your daughter would not agree either!"
Marriage?
What are you thinking!
I am a dignified powerhouse of the Domain Realm; what kind of woman can I not have?
Why should I hang myself on one tree?
Give up the entire forest for one blade of grass?
Such a stupid thing, how could I possibly do it!
Dragon Emperor Aotian's face darkened after hearing Wang Chen's refusal.
"Ah... you don't agree, then there is no other way. For the sake of my daughter's reputation, I can only painfully kill you."
Having said that, he slowly raised his hand, and a terrifying power began to condense in his palm.
That power emitted an aura that could destroy the heavens and earth, and the entire Dragon Emperor Palace was trembling slightly.
Daoist Master Cangxuan's expression changed drastically upon seeing this, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
He felt it.
Under this terrifying power, he didn't even have the qualification to resist; the other party could instantly blast him into smithereens.
"Sigh... wait!"
"Don't be impulsive, Lord Dragon Emperor! I... I didn't say I wouldn't marry her..."
Upon hearing this, Aotian's hand stopped instantly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"So, you agree?"
Daoist Master Cangxuan had a miserable look on his face, looking as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.
"I agree! What other choice do I have if I don't agree? Besides, do I... do I have any other options?"
"No!" Aotian answered crisply.
Daoist Master Cangxuan took a deep breath, feeling his heart bleeding.
He had been single for so many years and had been carefree for so many years; was this life really going to end just like this?
He hadn't had time to see all the scenery in the world, hadn't had time to eat all the delicacies in the world, hadn't had time to...
Forget it.
Don't think about it anymore; the more he thought, the more he felt he was losing out!
"However—"
He raised his head and asked with a serious face.
"Your Majesty, the Dragon Emperor, will your daughter really agree? She wanted to kill me just a moment ago. If she doesn't agree, then I won't have a problem!"
Upon hearing this, Dragon Emperor Aotian smiled slightly, his smile full of confidence!
"Rest assured, my daughter, I will make the decision."
Daoist Master Cangxuan's mouth twitched.
You will make the decision?
Where exactly am I lacking? If you have taken a liking to me, can't I just change it?
As if to verify his thoughts, a delicate shout suddenly came from outside the palace.
"Father! I don't agree!"
Princess Ao Linger's red hair fluttered, and she rushed into the Dragon Emperor Palace like a burning flame.
She stared fixedly at Daoist Master Cangxuan.
That look was as if she wanted to swallow him alive.
"How can I, a dignified Princess of the Dragon Clan, marry this lecher?"
And Aotian looked at Princess Ao Linger with affection, then sighed and said.
"Linger, you have also reached the age to get married. This young friend Cangxuan, although his strength is average, his character is not bad..."
"Character is not bad?"
Princess Ao Linger's voice changed its tone; how can you possibly think his character is good?
"He fell into my bath, saw my body, and even... even grabbed... Does this count as having good character?"
After hearing the other party's words, Daoist Master Cangxuan was somewhat unhappy in his heart.
You can question my strength.
But you absolutely cannot question my character!
"Your Highness, I really did it unintentionally..."
"Shut up!"
Daoist Master Cangxuan immediately shut his mouth obediently.
No way.
When facing Princess Ao Linger, he was indeed still a bit guilty; after all, he had seen her completely, that was a fact!
And Dragon Emperor Aotian was looking at the two, a meaningful smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
He suddenly felt that this matter also seemed quite interesting.
"Alright, this matter is settled." He said, making the final decision.
"Three months later, we will hold the wedding."
"Father!"
"Your Majesty!"
The two exclaimed at the same time.
But Aotian waved his hand and did not give them another chance to argue!
"Alright! You all should withdraw first. Linger, take young friend Cangxuan to your place and settle him in!"
At this moment, after Daoist Master Cangxuan and Princess Ao Linger looked at each other, they both saw despair in each other's eyes.
They understood in their hearts that this matter was a foregone conclusion; they no longer had any chance to argue...
Daoist Master Cangxuan wanted to cry but had no tears, keeping muttering silently in his heart.
Your Majesty, you have really harmed your subordinate...
Subsequently, Daoist Master Cangxuan and Princess Ao Linger walked out of the Dragon Emperor Palace one after the other.
Outside the palace, the sun was bright, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant, but their moods were as gloomy as the sky before a storm.
Princess Ao Linger was in front, and Daoist Master Cangxuan was behind, with a distance of ten zhang constantly maintained between them.
That distance, it was as if they were not walking on the same road, but in two different worlds.
"That..."
Daoist Master Cangxuan suddenly stopped his steps, wanting to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Your Highness, since we are getting married soon, shouldn't we get to know each other? For example, what are your measurements? What kind of men do you like? And what hobbies do you have?"
"Measurements?"
"You stinking lecher! If you have the ability, say that again!"
Princess Ao Linger stopped, turned around, and looked coldly at Daoist Master Cangxuan.
"Don't think that just because my father asked me to marry you, I will like you; stop dreaming."
Daoist Master Cangxuan: "..."
