Chapter 104: Marriage with Xingluo.
Zhu Zhuqing was in a state of confusion, unsure what to do.
The Pope's Palace.
Members of the Xingluo royal family and the Netherworld family came to meet Pope Bibi Dong.
They were very distinguished, including Crown Prince Davis, a princess, the Netherworld Duke, Zhu Zhuyun, and others.
The Netherworld Duke said, "Your Holiness, we are here not only to participate in the competition, but also to form a marriage alliance with Spirit Hall!"
A marriage?
Bibi Dong was quite interested and said, "Oh, let's talk about it."
The Netherworld Duke said, "Xingluo is willing to form a marriage alliance between Dai Lingyun and Zhu Zhuqing and Spirit Hall's Xia Li to establish friendship between the two sides!
Both of them achieved excellent results in this competition, and Zhu Zhuqing even won the championship. Your Holiness, please consider it."
Xia Li, standing next to Bibi Dong, was stunned. A marriage alliance with me?
This was a bit sudden. He remembered Dai Lingyun, had some impression of him. After all, he was the only White Tiger Spirit in the entire arena, and he didn't even make the top twenty, having been eliminated during the fierce competition.
Bibi Dong smiled at Xia Li and asked, "What do you think?"
Xia Li was a little embarrassed and said, "Zhu Zhuqing has already joined the Spirit Hall. How can a marriage between her and me help to improve relations between us?"
The Netherworld Duke said, "Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. No matter where she joins, she is a child of my Netherworld Family! She represents the Netherworld Family in public!"
Xia Li thought, in fact, they must have originally intended to arrange a marriage between Dai Lingyun and me. Later, after arriving in Spirit City, they discovered Zhu Zhuqing was also there, and after learning that she had joined the Spirit Hall, they decided to do her a favor and use her as a gift.
The girl named Dai Lingyun was wearing a veil, but Xia Li remembered her appearance. She was not bad, and her figure was rather curvaceous.
They talked for a while longer. Xingluo's intention was simple: they were going to fight the Heavenly Dou, so they were sending women to the Spirit Hall. If the amount wasn't enough, they could add more.
However, they hoped the Spirit Hall wouldn't interfere, or perhaps send troops to help. The two sides would unite, and upon success, they would share the profits.
Hu Liena stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please go to the hotel and rest. This matter involves many things, and we need to reconsider it." Zhu Zhuyun looked at Xia Li and said, "Master Xia Li, despite your youth, has already reached the level of a Soul Sect. You are truly gifted. Dong Hui and Yang Mingxin fell in love with you at first sight. Please don't be disdainful and show them some warmth."
Zhu Zhuyun looked at Xia Li, puzzled and perplexed. Even if you didn't like Dai Lingyun, Zhu Zhuqing's figure was captivating, not to mention giving Dong Hui and Yang Mingxin away for free.
Could he possibly like...?
The Netherworld Duke said, "Your Holiness, please take the world as your responsibility. We will take our leave."
The Xingluo group withdrew.
Hu Liena burst out laughing, throwing herself into Xia Li's arms, and said with a grin, "Junior brother, you're so popular! Even Xing Luo is offering you women."
The three of them returned to their dormitories. This matter was of great significance. The marriage was only superficial, but it was undoubtedly good news for the Spirit Hall. Xia Li had been hoping for an escalation in the war so he could reap the benefits.
And for Xing Luo to fully commit, they had to resolve this concern of the Spirit Hall first, so they were willing to offer the princess.
Bibi Dong said, "Agree to it first, but keeping this princess around is a hassle. Send her back. We'll agree to their terms."
Xia Li swallowed. Everything except the princess. Fine, for the sake of the Spirit Hall's grand plan, I'm going to make another sacrifice, forced to be with someone I don't love.
Hu Liena pouted, bit her lips lightly, and said, "Teacher, aren't you jealous?"
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "No, I'm not jealous. Even if they really come, Xia Li won't touch them!"
Hu Liena agreed with her, "Well, little junior brother, when will I eat you up?"
Inthe afternoon, Zhu Zhuqing, who had just gotten up from the hospital bed, was struck by a bolt from the blue when she heard Hu Liena's words. How could they make the decision for me?
They had arranged an engagement between me and Dai Mubai, and now they're just handing me over to someone else. Why?
I'm not their tool.
Hu Liena said thoughtfully, "I sympathize with your situation. If I hadn't met the teacher, my fate might not have been any better.
Originally, I told you to pledge allegiance to Xia Li, but because of the marriage, it became a matter of whether you agreed to the marriage or not.
If you agree to the marriage, your body will naturally be his. If you don't, you can still get the soul bone. It's your choice.
Oh, by the way, your father is here. Do you want to see him?"
She was very angry and wanted to confront her father.
"Okay, I want to see him!"
She followed Hu Liena out of the ward and met the Duke of the Netherworld in the meeting room of the Spirit Hall.
Zhu Zhuqing was filled with resentment. She hated herself for being so weak, for letting herself be manipulated. Now she understood that this tournament should have been hosted by Xia Li.
She had initially thought Xia Li's unspoken rules were overbearing, but when compared to Xing Luo, they were completely different. At least Xia Li had given her a chance to choose.
She had fought tooth and nail to win the match. Even if she didn't achieve a spirit evolution, just a spirit bone would have been worth it. Even if she chose to decline, she wouldn't lose anything. The danger of a match was far less than a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest.
She simply didn't want her sister's spirit to evolve, and Zhu Zhuyun hadn't hesitated to kill her. Although they were sisters, they were mortal enemies.
The Netherworld Duke saw Zhu Zhuqing and sighed deeply. "Zhuqing, I've made another decision for you. I know you might blame me, but I'm doing this for your own good! Do you understand?"
Zhu Zhuqing remained calm upon seeing him, as if she were meeting an ordinary person. She remained silent.
The Netherworld Duke continued, "Zhuqing, you have won the championship this year, I congratulate you.
You are now in a foreign country, without anyone to look after you. I have heard that Xia Li treats people well and is a good person.
If you can follow him, coupled with your outstanding talent, you may be able to obtain more resources from the Spirit Hall and become a strong person in the future!"
Zhu Zhuqing listened to his words, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. She had many things to say to the Netherworld Duke in person, but she kept them silent.
Zhu Zhuqing said, "I agree, I'm leaving."
After turning her back, she was already in tears. She didn't know how to face the Netherworld Duke, and she didn't understand whether this was still family affection.
She was at a loss.
