Nangong Qin thanked him first, and then said truthfully: "Your Majesty, my son-in-law is willing to marry Your Highness the Princess for two reasons!"
"Which two?"
Harudev said with great interest.
"First, in order to resolve the hostile relationship between the two countries and quell the long-standing disputes between the two countries, it should be a completely beneficial and harmless result for both the people on the western border of our Yong'an Empire and your country!"
"What about the first reason?"
Harudev asked.
"The second reason is, of course, to get the fairy root!"
Nangong Qin said bluntly: "We came here to worship the Moon Empire because we are looking for fairy roots. Since the only fairy root in your country is the dowry of your highness, I will naturally try my best to get it!"
"Is this why you want to marry Sarah?"
"Yes!"
Nangong Qin nodded.
As if he was afraid that Harudev would be unhappy, he hurriedly added: "My son-in-law has never met or interacted with Her Royal Highness the Princess before. My son-in-law has no emotional basis for her. If my son-in-law says now that it is because of
I love Her Majesty the Princess, even if I could say it to myself, I’m afraid you wouldn’t believe it, would you?”
"What you said is more truthful, at least it doesn't seem hypocritical!"
Harudev nodded with satisfaction.
Nangong Qin added: "Although my son-in-law and His Royal Highness the Princess have no relationship foundation, your Majesty, please rest assured that as time goes by, love develops. My son-in-law believes that as long as they stay together long enough, they will definitely develop feelings!"
"Are you sure you can tolerate Sarah's ugly appearance, spend the rest of your life with her, and never regret taking a concubine?"
Harudev once again asked such a tricky question.
"Your Majesty is joking!"
Nangong Qin said with a smile: "Beauty is certainly what people want, but inner beauty is also indispensable, otherwise it will just be gold and jade on the outside, and nothing but ruins on the inside!"
Hearing this, Harujev raised his brows and said with emotion: "It's such a beautiful thing, but it's all bad. With your words, I can rest assured that I will entrust Sarah to you and take her back to the Yong'an Empire!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your support and trust!"
Immediately, Nangong Qin seemed to have discovered something, glanced around, and asked: "Where is Your Highness the Princess?"
Isn't she here?"
Logically speaking, Princess Sarah, who is the party involved, should be present on this occasion.
But apart from them, Sara was not seen in this hall.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess is waiting for you at the palace!"
This time, before Harudev could answer, the high priest Nasim Paduraide, who was floating in the void next to him, spoke first.
"Wait for me at the palace?"
Nangong Qin was startled.
"good!"
Nasim Padred nodded, "If there is nothing else, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, please hurry up and don't keep His Royal Highness the Princess waiting!"
"this……"
Nangong Qin suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
Ye Chen and the others also looked at each other.
Is Princess Sara that impatient?
The results of the marriage recruitment competition had just been announced, and Nangong Qin was already waiting for him at the palace.
"how?
You don’t want to go?”
Seeing Nangong Qin's hesitation, Harudev on the throne suddenly asked.
Nangong Qin's body trembled and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? It is my son-in-law's lifelong luck to be favored by Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
After a pause, he hugged Harudev and said respectfully: "Since Her Royal Highness the Princess is still waiting, my son-in-law will leave first!"
"Well, go ahead!"
Harudev waved his hand, with a half-smiling look on his face, and the breath of "you know" came to his face.
This made Nangong Qin extremely embarrassed.
Originally, he had worked hard and hard to get this marriage.
But looking at the look on Harudev's face and the reaction of the high priest Nasim Paduraide, why does he feel like he has been deceived?
Not only Nangong Qin thought so, Ye Chen was also a little suspicious.
But now, he could only silently mourn for Nangong Qin.
After all, the marriage has been decided, and "sacrifice" is inevitable sooner or later.
Instead of making excuses to procrastinate, it is better to be cruel, close your eyes, and cook the raw rice into cooked rice to avoid any accidents in the middle.
"Brother Ye, since Her Highness the Princess is waiting, I will take the first step!"
Before leaving, Nangong Qin cast a bitter look at Ye Chen and others.
Ye Chen just nodded.
Nangong Kaige, Nangong Mingyue, Li Fengyu, and Jinlin looked strange, but they didn't say anything.
Under countless pairs of complicated eyes, Nangong Qin finally retreated out of the hall as if he was going into a sea of fire.
His back looks lonely and desolate!
But in the end, it gradually drifted away with the wind and disappeared from everyone's sight.
After eating and drinking for a while, Ye Chen and others also returned to the living area arranged for them by the Moon Worshiping Empire.
However, just when Ye Chen was about to go back to his room to rest, a man came to the door.
The contemporary high priest of the Moon Worshiping Empire, Nasim Padred!
"I wonder what I'm looking for at the sacrifice?"
Ye Chen asked with a smile.
"Can't I talk to you if I have nothing to do?"
Nasim Paduraide smiled brightly.
"Uh... of course not, it's just that it's late at night, I'm afraid..."
"I do not mind!"
Before Ye Chen finished speaking, he was picked up by Nasim Padred.
Ye Chen didn't say anything else.
But the faces of Li Fengyu and Jinlin next to them were a little ugly.
But in the end, they didn't say anything and retreated consciously to make room for Ye Chen and the two of them.
"After seeing the princess's appearance, do you regret it?"
After Li Fengyu and Jinlin left, Nasim Padred asked.
"This is a matter for His Highness the Fifth Prince. I have no right to decide for him!"
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and seemed to be saying something paradoxical.
"What if it were you?"
Naseem Paduraide asked.
"I never thought about this problem!"
Ye Chen still shook his head.
Nasim Padred did not struggle with this issue, but just thought thoughtfully: "Could it be that the fifth prince Nangong Qin did this just to win you the fairy roots?"
"That's just one of the reasons!"
"Can you tell me other reasons?"
"Sorry, can't!"
Nasim Padred's expression froze.
But after turning her beautiful eyes a few times, she pointed out something: "Don't worry, no matter why the fifth prince Nangong Qin made this decision, he will not regret it!"
"What's the meaning?"
Ye Chen was startled.
"You'll know later!"
Nasim Paduraide did not explain, but said with emotion: "Now that the fifth prince Nangong Qin and Princess Sarah have successfully married, my long-cherished wish for many years has been fulfilled!"
"The marriage between the royal families of the two countries can indeed reduce the hostile relationship between the two countries!"
Ye Chen nodded with deep understanding, "I only hope that the people of the two countries can accept this in the future, and then resolve the grievances between each other for many years and restore peace to the border!"
"By the way, when are you going to return to the Yong'an Empire?"
Nasim Paduraide asked again.
Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said, "If there's nothing else, I might leave in the next two days!"
"So fast?"
Nasim Padurad frowned slightly.
"There are still many things waiting for me to complete in the Yong'an Empire, and I don't have much time left!"
"What kind of thing?"
Nasim Paduraide said curiously: "Tell me, maybe I can help you!"
"I accept your kindness, but there are some things that I must resolve with my own hands!"
He left the Abyss of Sin and went to the Imperial Capital in the Central Region, originally to find a way to quickly improve his cultivation, and then before the Abyss of Sin began to harvest, he could break through to the peak of the imperial level and step into the fairyland where he could ascend in the daytime.
As long as he reaches this state, he will have immortal power from now on, so he can break the prison set by the gods in the abyss of sin and rescue the sinners trapped in it.
It's just that so much time has passed, and apart from wandering around the world, he has made no progress in his cultivation.
Now that he had finally obtained the fairy root, he had to hurry up and find other medicinal materials for refining the Emperor's Pill and refine it in one fell swoop.
"Since you don't want to say it, I won't force you!"
Nasim Paduraide did not ask further questions, but simply said: "I just hope we have a chance to meet again in the future!"
"Although the world is big, there are very few strong people like you. I believe we will meet again someday!"
Ye Chen responded.
Next, the two of them chatted about some innocuous topics.
It was not until the entire imperial capital fell silent and everyone fell into a deep sleep that Nasim Padred reluctantly said goodbye.
…
The next morning.
Ye Chen and others got up early and gathered together.
"Have you seen my fifth brother?"
Nangong Mingyue looked around and asked in surprise when she didn't see Empress Nangong Qin.
"Probably not back yet!"
Ye Chen smiled bitterly.
"You went to Princess Sara's palace yesterday and you haven't come back yet?"
Nangong Mingyue was secretly speechless.
Li Fengyu also lamented: "His Fifth Highness is indeed a true hero, and he can actually persist until now!"
But Nangong Kaige on the side muttered, "Isn't he unable to get up?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone almost fell to the ground.
Why can't you wake up?
Is this human language?
Especially the three girls, Li Fengyu, Nangong Mingyue and Jinlin, their faces were red, ashamed and angry.
"Crack!"
While everyone was talking and laughing, the sound of footsteps gradually came closer and closer.
"Maybe my fifth brother is back!"
Nangong Mingyue looked happy and immediately looked in the direction where the footsteps came from.
Sure enough, Nangong Qin, who disappeared all night, did come back.
However, he also brought someone with him.
However, when they saw the person next to Nangong Qin, Ye Chen and others were stunned with shock.
