Chapter 320 A Marriage Alliance Is Still Necessary

"Yan Chu... don't..."

Luo Jin called out softly, her voice gentle and tender, like a little kitten.

Her two slender, fair hands pressed against Yan Chu's chest, pushing him away feebly, while her gauze garment slipped slightly, revealing her collarbones that were as white as snow.

"Don't actually means do!"

Yan Chu thought to himself.

If you didn't want to, you wouldn't be holding me so tightly.

The wind on the grassland carried a hint of chill, but it could not extinguish the fire within him. After all, he was a man who Cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Art, and the intensity of his fire far exceeded that of others.

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding grass flew up, forming a grass cage that enveloped the two of them.

The sunlight was blocked out, and the breeze was shut out; Luo Jin finally stopped being so shy and resistant.

Princess Yunshu watched the whole thing from start to finish, dumbfounded.

She didn't know whether to leave or stay.

She only had the cultivation of the Sixth Realm; where could she go in this vast, endless grassland?

Before long, the sounds coming from the grass cage made her face, delicate and fair as congealed fat, turn bright red, and her ears burned hot.

But she didn't expect that this was just the beginning.

For the next two full days, the sounds never stopped.

Sometimes high and sharp, sometimes low and melodious; in short, there was never a moment where they stopped to chat or were quiet.

No... Big Brother... Aunt Luo?

Princess Yunshu was not unfamiliar with such things within the palace; when she left the imperial palace, there were even matrons who had specifically taught her about these matters.

But what they said at the time was:

"Ordinary people last for the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea. If one encounters someone strong and enduring, they might last for the time it takes an incense stick to burn.

Martial artists are different from ordinary people; half an hour to an hour is about right. However, while this matter is largely related to cultivation and physical body, it ultimately depends on individual talent."

"After all, if your cultivation is powerful, your opponent's strength will certainly not be weak!"

"When evenly matched, it's very likely that one will be defeated in no time."

But what she had seen and heard now had truly shattered her imagination.

She didn't know how long had passed. For Yunshu, every second felt like a year, but the sounds inside the grass cage finally stopped.

"Phew..."

Princess Yunshu let out a long sigh, "It finally stopped!"

She touched her face and ears; they were burning hot.

With the movement inside stopped, she finally had time to think about other things.

A few days ago, she and Luo Jin had just heard about the incident that occurred in the Central Plains.

Her father, whom she thought was seriously injured and dying, had actually displayed Divine Might and severely wounded the rebels who had reached the capital. This left Princess Yunshu feeling both happy and worried.

She was happy that her father was fine and that she once again had the greatest backing.

She was worried because since her father had been hiding his strength all along, why did he want to marry her off far away to Northern Mang? Could it be that he didn't care about her, his daughter, at all?

Her mood could not help but become anxious and uneasy.

And there was another matter.

Now that Yan Chu had become the Khan of Beiman, he might stand on the opposite side of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future. Listening to what he said, it seemed he didn't care about the Great Jin Imperial Court at all.

Would he clash with the imperial court and her father in the future?

And then there was Aunt Luo. She should be on her side, after all, she was the Empress Dowager's confidante. Although her cultivation was far above her own, she had always cared for her deeply.

But now that she had become Yan Chu's woman, if Yan Chu really came into conflict with her father in the future, wouldn't she definitely stand behind Yan Chu?

Then she would be her enemy...

Various chaotic thoughts made Princess Yunshu's beautiful eyes flicker constantly. She felt as if her mind was a tangled mess, not knowing what to do.

At this moment, a small opening was made in the grass cage from the inside, and Yan Chu walked out with a calm expression.

As his cultivation had advanced greatly once again, in addition to his unparalleled explosive power, he had also added a nearly inexhaustible stamina.

Although two days had passed, he had not yet had his fill.

However, Luo Jin was now too weak and had fallen into a deep sleep, so he naturally had to stop for the time being.

"Yan... Great Hero Yan!"

Princess Yunshu was sitting on the grass in a daze. Seeing Yan Chu suddenly appear, she hurriedly stood up, her stunning face, which could make the world lose its color, turning red again.

Her black hair was loosely coiled into a bun, and her bright yellow palace dress was brushed by the breeze, clinging tightly to her curvaceous, delicate body, making her the most beautiful scenery on this grassland.

"What is the Princess thinking about?"

"No... nothing!"

Princess Yunshu looked at Yan Chu at this moment as if looking at a devil, hurriedly shaking her head like a rattle-drum.

A mischievous smile suddenly appeared on Yan Chu's lips, and he said:

"I suddenly remembered that the task the Empress Dowager entrusted to me has not been completed yet!"

"What task?"

Princess Yunshu was a bit confused.

Yan Chu laughed and said:

"Of course, it's to escort you, Princess, to betroth!"

"Betroth to whom?"

A flash of panic crossed Princess Yunshu's beautiful eyes.

"Hasn't Luan Di Tianye already died at your hands, Great Hero Yan? The matter of the betrothal should naturally be dropped!"

"What do you want to do? Yunshu poses no threat to you, Great Hero Yan!"

She thought Yan Chu had already made up his mind to be an enemy of the Great Jin Imperial Court and wanted to harm her by sending her down.

Yan Chu waved his hand.

"That's not what I meant!"

"The task I received was to escort the Princess to marry the Khan of Beiman. This Khan doesn't necessarily have to be Luan Di Tianye!"

Ah?

Princess Yunshu was as clever as ice and snow; she immediately understood Yan Chu's meaning.

He didn't want to send her down; he wanted to send her up.

"Great Hero Yan, you... I... But you just... Aunt Luo..."

She actually didn't resent Yan Chu.

After all, Yan Chu was young, handsome, and one of the most powerful people in the world.

For Princess Yunshu, who grew up in the palace, was accustomed to deception, and was forced into a betrothal, this was the best possible backing.

But the backing she wanted was someone who could be devoted to her and could protect her. It was obvious that Yan Chu was not a devoted person.

The number of women around him was countless.

Besides, he was so strong, how could she handle it?

"Your father is not only alive, but living better than anyone else. You know this, right?"

Yan Chu did not force her, but instead asked about another matter.

Yunshu fell silent upon hearing this.

"You were sent here for a betrothal, yet your most beloved father did not step forward to stop it. Is your status in his heart as high as you think it is?"

"Now the situation in the Great Jin Dynasty is chaotic. In my opinion, if you go back, not only will you not gain the freedom you imagine, but you will be treated as a tool again and sent to marry someone else. Although the target is different, the result will not be much different."

"Do you think my guess makes sense?"

Yan Chu said with a faint smile, stating the cruelest of facts.

This was also what Princess Yunshu had always been worried about.

Being in the royal family, even though she possessed beauty that could topple nations, she was merely a tool.

When she went to Northern Mang before, her father did not step forward to stop it; it was possible that the matter of the betrothal was decided by him personally.
