122: From now on, my daughter will be named Su Ji!

The True Phoenix Imperial Princess, Phoenix Princess, was stunned.

In her eyes, which burned with golden divine fire, there was nothing but shock.

What did she just hear?

He agreed?

This man actually agreed?

"You..."

Phoenix Princess pointed at Su Xuanchen, her finger trembling from both anger and shame.

"What right do you have to agree?!"

"When did this Imperial Princess ever say I would marry you?!"

"I came here to refuse! Refuse! Do you not understand human speech?!"

Overwhelming shame and indignation caused her beautiful face to turn bright red, like a Phoenix with its feathers ruffled.

She was a proud Imperial Princess, the future hope of the True Phoenix Clan.

In her original script, she was supposed to haughtily throw out the line "You're not worthy of me" and then leave with a flourish, leaving this man with an unattainable view of her back.

But now.

The script had been torn up.

Not only was this man not discouraged, but he also had an expression that said, "Since you've come to my door, I'll reluctantly accept you."

This was simply rubbing her dignity into the ground!

"What right?"

Su Xuanchen laughed.

He walked down the steps one by one, and with every step he took, the air in the hall grew heavier.

"By the fact that this is the Luoshen Clan."

"By the fact that your current life and death are held in my hands."

Su Xuanchen stood three feet in front of her, looking down at her from above.

That gaze didn't look like he was looking at a noble Imperial Princess.

Rather, it was like he was looking at a throwing-a-tantrum... little wild chicken.

"How dare you!!"

Phoenix Princess's composure completely broke.

A terrifying Quasi-Emperor Aura erupted from her body.

True Phoenix Divine Fire soared into the sky, transforming into a Fire Phoenix Phantom to burn this insolent man to ashes.

"I will kill you!!"

She struck out in anger, her jade palm thrusting forward; within her palm, Major Thousand Worlds were being born and destroyed—this was the True Phoenix Clan's Supreme Slaughter Technique!

"Imperial Princess, no!!"

Behind her, the True Phoenix Clan Elder's Soul was Flying Away and Spirit Scattering in fear; he wanted to stop her, but it was already too late.

However.

Facing this strike that was enough to incinerate stars.

Su Xuanchen didn't even lift an eyelid.

"Playing with fire in front of me?"

"A mere parlor trick."

He simply extended a single finger.

A gentle tap.

"Poof!"

The incredibly powerful Fire Phoenix Phantom let out a mournful cry and dissipated the moment it touched his fingertip.

The divine fire filling the sky instantly extinguished.

Immediately after.

A terrifying Aura as vast as the heavenly might crushed down from Su Xuanchen's body.

That was Supreme-grade Divine Might!

Furthermore, it was an invincible momentum he had cultivated after refining Great Emperor Tian Peng's remnant soul!

"Kneel."

Su Xuanchen spoke two words softly.

Phoenix Princess felt as if a Primordial Divine Mountain had slammed onto her shoulders.

Her spine, which had been perfectly straight, instantly bent.

Her knees buckled.

"Thud!"

A crisp sound rang out.

This proud and insufferable True Phoenix Imperial Princess knelt before Su Xuanchen without any power to resist.

Her face was full of humiliation!

"You... you..."

Phoenix Princess tried to struggle, tried to stand up.

But that pressure was like Heavenly Dao Shackles, firmly suppressing her to the ground, making her unable to move.

She looked up, staring at Su Xuanchen, her eyes red and tears welling up.

What a great humiliation!

She, a dignified Imperial Princess, was actually forced to kneel?!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

Su Xuanchen crouched down, reached out, and unscrupulously pinched her exquisite chin.

"Quite a temper you have."

"However, I have a certain quirk."

"The wilder the horse, the more I enjoy riding it."

"You..."

Phoenix Princess shook with anger, wanting to bite him, but Su Xuanchen grabbed her cheeks, leaving her only able to make "wuwu" sounds.

"Head of the Su Family! Please show mercy!"

The True Phoenix Clan Elder also fell to his knees with a thud, kowtowing like a woodpecker.

"The Imperial Princess is young and ignorant, and she has offended the Head of the Family. For the sake of the marriage alliance, please forgive her this once!"

"Young?"

Su Xuanchen let go, stood up, and clapped his hands.

"Since she's ignorant, I'll teach her slowly in the future."

He looked down at Phoenix Princess with a playful gaze.

"I forgot to ask just now."

"What is your name?"

Phoenix Princess gritted her teeth and turned her head away, not wanting to acknowledge him.

"Not talking?"

Su Xuanchen sneered, and the pressure increased by a notch.

"Ugh..."

Phoenix Princess let out a muffled groan, her bones creaking; the fear of being crushed forced her to submit.

"Huang... Phoenix Princess!"

She squeezed those words out from between her teeth.

"Phoenix Princess?"

Su Xuanchen rubbed his chin and nodded thoughtfully.

"Nice name."

"'Ji' means 'beauty'."

He suddenly grinned and pointed at Phoenix Princess's stomach, saying something shocking.

"Fine."

"The daughter we have in the future will be named Su Ji."

"Saves trouble."

"What?!"

Phoenix Princess's eyes widened, and her head buzzed.

"Su Ji?"

"Naming their daughter after her?"

"Was this bastard trying to take advantage of her, or was he trying to annoy her to death?!"

"Who wants to have a daughter with you!!"

Phoenix Princess shrieked, wanting to die of shame.

"I wouldn't marry you even if I died!"

"I'm going back to the clan! I'm going to tell my Imperial Father that you bullied me!"

"Back to the clan?"

Su Xuanchen acted as if he had heard a huge joke.

He turned his head toward the True Phoenix Clan Elder kneeling on the ground.

"Old man, you tell her."

"Can she still go back?"

The Elder trembled, not daring to look into Phoenix Princess's eyes; he lowered his head, his voice dry.

"Imperial Princess..."

"The Clan Chief and the Old Ancestors... have already finalized the Marriage Contract."

"From the moment you stepped out of the True Phoenix Heavenly Realm..."

"You have been a member of the Su Family."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, striking hard at Phoenix Princess's heart.

She froze.

Her burning anger instantly turned into a bone-chilling cold.

"Sold?"

"She had been sold by her own clansmen, by those Elders who were usually so respectful to her?"

"No... impossible..."

Phoenix Princess murmured to herself, her face as pale as paper.

"Imperial Father loves me most... Uncle Clan Chief also loves me most..."

"How could they possibly sell me to this demon..."

"How could they not?"

Su Xuanchen heartlessly added another blow.

"Because they are afraid of death."

"Because they are afraid that I will storm the True Phoenix Heavenly Realm and wipe you all out."

"So, they could only offer you, this Imperial Princess, as a sacrifice to appease my wrath."

Su Xuanchen's words were like daggers to the heart.

"You thought you were here for a marriage alliance?"

"No."

"You are here to atone for their sins."

Phoenix Princess's body went limp, and she slumped onto the ground, the light in her eyes completely extinguished.

So that was it.

What dignity of an Imperial Princess, what pride of the True Phoenix.

In the face of overwhelming power and survival, it was all worthless.

"Head of the Su Family."

Seeing this, the Elder quickly pulled a storage ring from his robes and offered it with both hands, fearing Su Xuanchen would change his mind.

"This is our clan's dowry."

"Besides ten million catties of Divine Source and a hundred stalks of Holy Medicine..."

The Elder gritted his teeth, glanced at Phoenix Princess, and said heartlessly:

"There are also the Heaven And Earth Treasures left by the Great Emperor for the Imperial Princess to help her break through to the Supreme Realm."

"They are also... included as part of the dowry to be presented to the Head of the Su Family!"

"What?!"

Phoenix Princess looked up sharply, staring at the storage ring.

That was the Foundation her Imperial Father had left for her to attain the Dao!

The clan had actually given even that away?!

"You... you all..."

Phoenix Princess was so angry she spat out a mouthful of blood, pointing at the Elder, unable to speak for a long time.

Too cruel.

They were tearing her bones apart to sell them!

Su Xuanchen took the storage ring, scanned it with his Divine Thought, and nodded with satisfaction.

"Not bad."

"The True Phoenix Clan is quite sensible."

He put away the ring and looked at Phoenix Princess with a bit more "pity."

Of course, it was the pity one has for prey.

"Alright, stop crying."

"Marrying me isn't exactly a raw deal for you."

Su Xuanchen waved his sleeve, dispersing the pressure.

"Get up."

Phoenix Princess stood up dazed, like a puppet whose Soul had been removed.

"And the rest of you."

Su Xuanchen's gaze swept over the group of trembling Heavenly Maidens behind her, finally landing on Phoenix Princess.

"Since you've entered the doors of my Su Family, you must follow my Su Family's rules."

"Now."

"Call me husband."

The several True Phoenix Clan Heavenly Maidens looked at each other, their faces filled with embarrassment and fear.

But seeing their own Imperial Princess's miserable state, who would dare resist?

"Hus... Husband."

The pair of twin Divine Maidens spoke first, their voices soft and slightly trembling.

With someone leading the way, the rest of the Heavenly Maidens also curtsied one after another.

"Greetings, husband."

A chorus of feminine voices—it was quite a lively scene.

Only Phoenix Princess remained.

She bit her lip hard, even drawing blood, refusing to speak.

This was her last bit of stubbornness.

"You won't call me that?"

Su Xuanchen raised an eyebrow, not getting angry.

He simply said plainly:

"I heard the True Phoenix Clan still has a few sleeping Ancient Ancestors?"

"If I don't hear you call me husband today, I'll go to the True Phoenix Heavenly Realm tomorrow and invite those Ancient Ancestors out to sunbathe."

"And while I'm at it, I'll chop down your Parasol Trees to use as firewood."

"You—!!"

Phoenix Princess looked up sharply, her eyes full of hatred.

Despicable!

Shameless!

Threatening her with the lives of her entire clan!

"Will you call me that, or not?"

Su Xuanchen took a step forward, his Aura oppressive.

The Elder was also frantically signaling her from the side, almost crying in anxiety.

"Imperial Princess! Call him! Quickly call him!"

"For the sake of the clan!"

Phoenix Princess closed her eyes.

Two lines of clear tears slid down her beautiful face.

Her pride and her dignity were completely shattered.

"Hus..."

Her voice was weak, filled with endless humiliation and resentment.

"Husband."

"Louder, haven't you eaten?"

Su Xuanchen picked at his ear.

Phoenix Princess took a deep breath and shouted with all her might:

"Husband!!"

"Aye—!"

Su Xuanchen answered loudly, his face beaming with joy.

"Now that's more like it."

"Since you've called me husband, we're one family now."

Looking at Phoenix Princess's tearful and pitiful appearance, his desire for conquest soared.

This was an Imperial Princess.

The feeling of pulling a high-and-mighty Divine Maiden off her pedestal was simply exhilarating.

"Since we're family, don't just stand there."

Su Xuanchen suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Phoenix Princess's slender waist.

"Ah!"

Phoenix Princess cried out, before she could even react.

Her whole body was lifted into the air.

Su Xuanchen carried her directly in his arms in a domineering princess carry.

"You... what are you doing?!"

Phoenix Princess panicked, her hands pushing against Su Xuanchen's chest as she struggled desperately.

"Put me down! This is in public, where is your sense of propriety!"

"Propriety?"

Su Xuanchen looked down at her with a wicked smile.

"We're husband and wife, what's wrong with a little hug?"

"And besides..."

He leaned into Phoenix Princess's ear, his warm breath blowing against her sensitive earlobe.

"Since the dowry has been accepted and you've called me husband..."

"Shouldn't we get down to business?"

"Bu... business?"

Phoenix Princess's mind went blank as an ominous feeling welled up in her heart.

"Of... of course, the Bridal Chamber."

Su Xuanchen said as if it were a matter of course.

"No time like the present."

"I see the weather is nice today, quite suitable for making a child."

"Right now."

"Let's go to the Bridal Chamber!"

"Wh... what?!"

Phoenix Princess was completely dumbfounded.

"Now?"

"Here in the Luoshen Clan?"

"Consummating the marriage right after meeting?!"
