221: You're trying to conquer yourself?!
The most important reason Kaidun III wanted to marry his daughters to Su Yang was to establish a more stable connection with Su Yang through this marital relationship, ensuring a more secure future for the Kaiyue Empire.
Essentially, marrying off one daughter was enough for this relationship. Two... didn't seem necessary.
He had originally planned to marry his other daughter to the heir of another Empire for a political alliance.
Both daughters marrying Su Yang... the atmosphere at the scene was fervent.
Kaidun III raised his hand, signaling the crowd to quiet down.
Immediately, he announced loudly: "Good! I, the King, declare the result of this competition: Su Yang wins!!!"
This officially recognized Su Yang's victory and the validity of the competition, but nothing else was mentioned.
In the VIP seating area.
Cold Moon's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
Crimson Phoenix, the Little Loli, rolled her eyes and muttered, "I knew this would happen..."
Wen Yunyao and the others clearly sensed this possibility. With these two sisters about to become their sisters, they mostly couldn't help but chuckle lightly, covering their mouths.
In this way, the group Cultivating alongside Su Yang would now be the Ten-Person Squad!
Imagining that scene... it was quite grand!
It made them blush slightly.
"Su Yang, you can't go back on your word."
"You won against both of us now, so you have to marry both!"
Kaina had already enthusiastically grabbed Su Yang's hand.
Losing was losing, and being conquered was being conquered. The look in her eyes as she gazed at Su Yang now held evident approval.
"My sister and I have done everything together since we were little. If we can marry the same person together, that's naturally the best."
Kailin said to Su Yang, her eyes also showing approval.
Su Yang glanced at Kaidun III on the viewing platform and said to them, "Your Royal Father is clearly not satisfied with your current decision. He probably only intended to marry one of you to me."
Kaina pouted and snorted, "Listen to him about everything? No way! We are going to marry you together! You won against us, so we should rightfully marry you together!"
Ling Lin nodded, her gaze equally firm: "Wait for us, we'll go persuade Royal Father!"
The two sisters left without explanation.
Su Yang: ...These sisters truly inherited their father's genes.
When Kaidun III was displeased, he would threaten violence.
Once he realized the situation was unfavorable, he would genuinely offer enthusiastic hospitality.
They were the same: when they decided not to marry, they were absolutely resolute.
Once they decided to marry, they were absolutely resolute about marrying.
Judging by their Aura, they had an unstoppable momentum.
Su Yang smiled. He was no Saint, nor did he ever claim to be a Virtuous Gentleman. Having two such passionate, spirited, and tall beauties to Cultivate alongside him naturally gave him no reason to refuse... The grand martial arts arena competition concluded.
Su Yang and his entourage returned to the Royal Palace with Kaidun III.
Upon returning, Kaidun III arranged for Su Yang and the others to rest, while he hastily summoned both of his daughters for a discussion.
Kaidun III sat in his seat, his fingers unconsciously tapping the armrest. The frankness he had shown before the public was gone, replaced by the deep contemplation and thoughtfulness of an Emperor.
"Kaina, Kailin,"
Kaidun III spoke slowly: "What you said today before the masses, did it come from your hearts? Was it not just a moment of impulse?"
Kaina and Kailin stood side-by-side. Hearing this, they met their father's gaze without flinching.
"Royal Father, of course it was sincere!"
"Young Master Su won the hearts of both of us sisters fairly and squarely with absolute strength. We people of Kaiyue Kingdom admire strength and respect the powerful. Young Master Su is the strongest expert in our eyes! We, your daughters, are willing to marry him!"
Kaina straightened her back, her red hair dazzling like flames.
Kailin nodded, her voice equally firm: "Royal Father, you once taught us that whether we are princesses or princes, our marriages must be considered for the Empire's sake. It is precisely with this consideration that we decided to marry Young Master Su together."
Kaidun III raised a thick eyebrow: "Kailin, you have always been steady; you should know your father's original plan. Imperial alliances, mutual support, this is common sense. Brother Su is naturally a peerless powerhouse, and I am relieved to entrust my Kaiyue Kingdom to him. But one of you marrying him is enough! The other one of you... I originally intended to ally with the heir of the Black Iron Empire in the Western Region or the Cangyan Dynasty in the south..."
Before Kaidun III finished speaking, Kaina interrupted: "What are the heirs of those Empires? They are merely good-for-nothings who rely on their ancestors' prestige and possess mediocre personal strength! How can they compare to Young Master Su? Young Master Su's strength alone surpasses a thousand armies! He is worth ten, or even a hundred, of those Empires!"
Kailin analyzed calmly: "Royal Father, the fundamental purpose of a marriage alliance is to strengthen the Empire's power and acquire stronger external aid and guarantees. I ask you, Royal Father, does marrying an ordinary Empire heir bring greater assistance, or marrying an unfathomably powerful Immortal Dao expert who might reach a higher Realm in the future? Which is more reliable, and which can protect our Kaiyue Kingdom in the long run?"
She paused, then continued: "Young Master Su has already promised to take action when the Empire faces danger. If both of us sisters become his wives, this connection will become even closer and more secure. If we bear children in the future, their Bloodline, flowing with both the Kaiyue Royal Family's Bloodline and that of a powerhouse like Young Master Su, their innate talent and potential will surely far surpass ordinary people."
"For our Kaiyue Royal Family and for the future strength increase of the entire Empire, isn't this more meaningful than an ordinary marriage alliance?"
Kaina nodded repeatedly: "Exactly! Little sister is right! Royal Father, just think, Young Master Su is so formidable, his children definitely won't be weak! If both of us sisters marry him and give birth to several powerful Little Princes and Little Princesses, won't the future of our Kaiyue Empire become even stronger?"
"This is much more reliable than forming alliances with Black Iron or Blazing Flame! Can their heirs guarantee giving birth to descendants as formidable as Young Master Su?"
The two sisters spoke one after the other, every point logical and straight to the core issue.
As daughters who needed to make sacrifices for the Empire, they actually disliked politics and disliked marriage alliances, but they also knew that using this reasoning was the most effective way to persuade Royal Father right now.
As Kaidun III listened to his two daughters, the seriousness on his face gradually eased, and a glint flashed in his eyes.
Indeed, a powerhouse whose strength far exceeded imagination was the greatest power and guarantee in himself, and his Bloodline was an invaluable treasure!
Tying both of his most outstanding daughters to the towering tree that was Su Yang, from the perspective of long-term and fundamental interests, truly seemed to align better with Kaiyue Kingdom's interests than scattered marriage alliances.
One daughter might eventually bear one or two children.
Two daughters could potentially bear four children.
All these children would possess the Kaiyue Royal Family Bloodline, and when they branched out in the future, the Kaiyue Empire would become stronger!
It makes sense!
It truly makes sense!
"Hahaha!"
"Good! Well said! Truly my daughters of Kaidun, possessing unique vision and profound foresight! It seems your Royal Father was momentarily rigid!"
Kaidun III suddenly burst into laughter, sweeping away his previous contemplation and returning to his true, heroic nature.
Both Kaina and Kailin sighed in relief.
They had finally persuaded Royal Father.
"Let's go, let's go! Go see your future husband and settle this matter now!"
Kaidun III immediately took the two sisters to find Su Yang...
