274: Chapter 274 Forced Marriage

Tianyuan Sect.

Inside the discussion hall.

At this moment.

The hall was filled with people.

Sect Master Liu Yuanzong sat in the main seat, with the Elders of the Tianyuan Sect on both sides.

After all, the other party was a princess of the Dragon Clan with a noble status, and her father was a top powerhouse in their Great Desolate Ancient Realm.

Therefore.

The respect that should be given still had to be given. Except for the Old Ancestor at the Half-Step Immortal Realm who did not appear, all other Grand Elders at the Domain Realm were present.

At this moment, on the guest seat in the hall.

Sat a young woman dressed in red. She had a stunningly beautiful face and a noble temperament, with long, fiery-red hair as dazzling as flames.

From her body radiated the aura of the Late Stage of the Domain Realm.

She was none other than.

The Dragon Clan princess—Princess Ao Linger.

Liu Yuanzong wore a smile, but when he looked at Princess Ao Linger, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

He did not understand.

Their Tianyuan Sect had no dealings with the Dragon Clan.

Why would this Dragon Clan princess suddenly run over to their place?

"Your Highness, you have traveled from afar. Please forgive us for failing to welcome you properly."

Princess Ao Linger picked up her teacup, took a light sip, and then set it down.

"Sect Master Liu is too polite. I have come this time for a certain person."

"Oh? I wonder who Your Highness is looking for?"

Upon hearing Princess Ao Linger's words.

Liu Yuanzong was even more puzzled. Why would she come to them to find someone?

Could it be that someone in their Sect had a connection with the Dragon Clan? As the Sect Master, how could he have received no news of this at all?

"Dao Venerable."

Liu Yuanzong was stunned.

Dao Venerable?

Wasn't that their newly appointed Grand Elder?

What did the Dragon Clan princess want with him?

"Does Your Highness know Senior Dao Venerable?"

"I do."

Princess Ao Linger's voice was somewhat cold; if one listened carefully, one could hear a trace of resentment.

"He is my fiancé."

"Pfft—"

Liu Yuanzong spat out a mouthful of tea on the spot.

Fi... fiancé?

Their Grand Elder was actually the Dragon Clan princess's fiancé?

What the hell kind of situation was this?

It was too mismatched, right?

It wasn't that he looked down on their Grand Elder, but solely based on looks, how could their Grand Elder possibly be a match for the Dragon Clan princess before him?

At this moment.

Everyone present finally understood what it meant to have—a fresh flower stuck in cow dung!

The Elders in the hall also exploded with activity at this moment, and the sound of discussion instantly filled the entire hall.

"The Grand Elder is the Dragon Clan princess's fiancé? Is it true?"

"The Grand Elder is truly full of hidden depths! He even managed to win over a Dragon Clan princess!"

"No wonder the Grand Elder's strength is so great; it turns out he is the son-in-law of the Dragon Clan!"

"The Grand Elder is truly vigorous in his old age..."

"Awesome! The Grand Elder is truly a role model for us, though I don't know if the Grand Elder's body can handle it!"

"Sigh... although the Grand Elder's strength is very strong, this kind of thing isn't just about strength."

...

Liu Yuanzong wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth.

He said with an expression of disbelief.

"So that's how it is! Your Highness, rest assured, Senior Dao Venerable is here in our Tianyuan Sect. Someone, go quickly and invite the Grand Elder!"

A moment later.

Daoist Master Cangxuan arrived at the Sect hall unhurriedly.

He wore a white robe, had an ethereal temperament, and a calm gait, looking somewhat like a sage with the bones of an immortal.

However.

When he saw Princess Ao Linger sitting in the guest seat, his expression instantly became somewhat unnatural.

"You... why have you come?"

Princess Ao Linger stood up, looked at Daoist Master Cangxuan, and a trace of complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Of course, I have come to take you back to get married."

"Get... married?"

Daoist Master Cangxuan's face turned pale, and his voice even trembled as he spoke.

"Get married to what? Who wants to get married to you? I certainly didn't agree to it!"

"You..."

"You saw my body, and you even touched my... do you intend to deny it?"

The hall was deathly silent.

All the Elders widened their eyes and looked at Daoist Master Cangxuan.

He saw the Dragon Clan princess's body?

And even touched...

Grand Elder, you are truly something!

We never expected you to be this kind of person; it really opened our eyes...

Seeing the gazes of those around him.

Even with Daoist Master Cangxuan's strength, he couldn't help but flush red.

"That... that was an accident! I didn't do it on purpose!"

"Whether it was an accident or not, I don't care."

"But my father, the Dragon Emperor, said that if you don't go back to get married, he will come to the Tianyuan Sect himself to demand you."

Damn it!

The Dragon Emperor is coming himself?

That super powerhouse at the Half-Step Immortal Realm?

If he really came, wouldn't the Tianyuan Sect be blown to pieces?

Liu Yuanzong was also startled.

The Dragon Emperor is coming himself?

That was one of the most powerful existences in the Great Desolate Ancient Realm. If he came, the Tianyuan Sect would not be able to withstand it.

Although their Old Ancestor was also an existence at the Half-Step Immortal Realm, if they really fought, he probably couldn't beat the other party.

After all.

The combat power of Yao Beasts was generally stronger than that of humans.

Especially since the other party was the top-tier Dragon Clan among the Yao Beasts!

"Senior Dao Venerable, what do you think..."

Liu Yuanzong said cautiously, with a trace of pleading in his eyes.

"Why don't you just go back and get married? You won't be at a loss anyway. The Dragon Clan princess is so beautiful; many people wouldn't be able to get such a chance even if they begged for it."

Upon hearing Liu Yuanzong's words, Daoist Master Cangxuan exploded on the spot.

"Bullshit! What the hell do you know!"

"Do you think marriage is playing house? Besides, I'm used to being single, and I don't want to get married!"

"You have to get married even if you don't want to!!"

"I am a dignified Dragon Clan princess. You saw my body and touched my... If you don't take responsibility, where will I put my face? Where will the Dragon Clan put their face?"

"That... didn't I say, that was an accident!"

"Even an accident won't do!"

Seeing Princess Ao Linger's determined expression.

Daoist Master Cangxuan was practically about to cry but had no tears.

Why was he so unlucky? Falling into someone's bath, seeing her body, and then being forced to get married. What kind of situation was this?

"I... I need to consider this."

"No need to consider." Princess Ao Linger walked up to him and said with a serious expression.

"My father said that three months from now is an auspicious date. At that time, you must come to the Dragon Clan to get married, otherwise—"

She paused, and a trace of triumph flashed in her eyes.

"Otherwise my father will come to invite you in person."

After saying this.

She stood up directly, then leaned in close to Daoist Master Cangxuan, and whispered in his ear.

"I will be waiting for you at the Dragon Clan..."

After Princess Ao Linger finished speaking.

She said her goodbyes and left...

Daoist Master Cangxuan stood in the Tianyuan Sect's hall, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Getting married in three months—this time, he couldn't run away.

Because he knew.

If he ran away, the Dragon Emperor would definitely come to the Tianyuan Sect to demand him.

The Tianyuan Sect had treated him well, and he could not let them fall into a difficult situation.

"Grand Elder, congratulations!"

"The Dragon Clan princess is one of the most beautiful women in the Great Desolate Ancient Realm. You are truly blessed..."

"Blessed?"

"If I give this blessing to you, do you want it?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuanzong quickly waved his hands.

"Grand Elder, please stop joking... This Junior is not blessed enough to enjoy this, not blessed enough."

Although he said this.

In his heart, Liu Yuanzong was actually incredibly envious...
