206: Chapter 206 Real witch?

At this moment, seeing that Cao Yang had returned, Ice Clan Chief Bing Jiuchou quickly led the Elders to greet him.

He knelt respectfully and said, "Thank you, Lord Realm Lord, for slaying the powerful enemy from beyond the realm and saving our lives."

The rest of the Ice Clan members also followed suit and knelt.

"Rise, there is no need for such formalities. As the master of the Divine Realm, it is only natural for me to protect its safety." Cao Yang waved his hand, and everyone stood up involuntarily.

Seizing the opportunity, Bing Jiuchou suggested with a fawning expression, "If the Lord Realm Lord has time, why not hold your wedding with Qianqian here in Ice City?"

Hearing her father's words, Bing Qianqian's heart tightened. She thought to herself that things were going south; this old man was going to ruin everything.

Cao Yang turned to look at Bing Qianqian, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes as he asked softly, "What does Qianqian think?"

Bing Qianqian blinked her bright eyes, the corners of her mouth curling into a sweet smile. She said coquettishly, "Brother Cao, you brought Sister Xue'er out to play; how could my matters be allowed to spoil the fun for you and Sister Xue'er? Besides, I can't wait to join Brother Cao and Xue'er in traveling across the Divine Realm! How about we consider this matter after we've finished our travels? After all, that way we can get to know each other better!"

However, behind that sweet smile, Bing Qianqian was secretly cursing her father, that loathsome old man, wishing she could teach him a lesson right then and there.

If it weren't for the fact that he was her father in this life, she definitely wouldn't have let him off so easily.

Although she had a good impression of Cao Yang and felt grateful toward him, it was still far from the level of liking him.

If it weren't for her lack of strength and the fact that she couldn't beat Cao Yang, she would have slipped away long ago.

Gazing at the innocent and romantic smile on Bing Qianqian's face, Cao Yang couldn't help but feel amused.

He knew well that it was no easy feat for this former Great Witch to show such a girlish demeanor now; she must have gone through countless internal struggles.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Seeing a former Great Witch show such a girlish side is truly an extremely difficult thing; it's just too hard!

Meanwhile, upon hearing Bing Qianqian's words, her father and the Ice Clan Elders' faces instantly darkened, as if covered by dark clouds.

They had originally expected Bing Qianqian to stand firmly on their side, but they never imagined she would say such things, leaving them incredibly disappointed.

Bing Jiuchou stole a glance at Cao Yang and saw that he was smiling and wasn't angry because of his daughter's words, which finally allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

He secretly felt lucky that he hadn't said the wrong thing, and at the same time, he felt admiration for Cao Yang's tolerance.

"Mm, what Qianqian said makes sense. Let's do as she says." Cao Yang smiled and agreed, his gaze sweeping over Bing Qianqian with a flicker of an imperceptible smile in his eyes.

But in his heart, he thought: Little Witch, you can't escape my Five-Finger Mountain.

Although he appeared gentle on the surface, deep down he had a firm determination and a plan.

After hearing Cao Yang's words, Bing Jiuchou immediately gave Bing Qianqian a look, signaling her to handle things carefully.

Seeing her father's look, Bing Qianqian understood his meaning and forced a strained smile.

"Don't worry, Father, I will serve Brother Cao well," she said, a hint of helplessness in her voice.

Despite her reluctance, she had to respond this way in the face of her father's hints and Cao Yang's authority.

"Mm, just have someone from your Ice Clan go to the Azure Empire to collect the registration task. I'm taking Qianqian with me." After Cao Yang finished speaking, he waved his hand, preparing to leave.

Xiao Lingxue stood to the side, quietly watching everything, her face maintaining its cold and elegant expression throughout.

As Cao Yang's voice fell, he, Xiao Lingxue, and Bing Qianqian vanished from the spot together.

Seeing this, Bing Jiuchou and the others hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully in unison, "We respectfully see off the Lord Realm Lord!"

Their voices echoed through Ice City, filled with awe.
