Qin Feng's words "He is not qualified enough" are like an eternal Chaos Divine Thunder, exploding a bottomless black crack in the depths of Princess Longji's sea of consciousness.
All pride, all persistence, and all faith were crushed to pieces by those understatement words at this moment.
She was completely stunned. She stood there blankly, her body as stiff as an ice sculpture that had not melted for thousands of years. Only her beautiful phoenix eyes still retained a trace of confusion that could not be focused.
It's over.
This is the only thought left in Princess Longji's mind.
This time, it's really over.
The mission failed. After I returned, I couldn't explain it to Imperial Father.
The anger of Imperial Father and the majesty of Heavenly Court will be like two invisible sacred mountains, suppressing her forever.
But the conditions offered by Qin Feng are not a dead end leading to the abyss?
Let her Imperial Father, who values face above all else and majesty above heaven, come to Skeleton Mountain in person to negotiate face to face with a guy who in his eyes is just a demon from the lower world?
This is more uncomfortable for him than killing Haotian!
This is simply a fantasy, it is absolutely, absolutely impossible to achieve!
Entering, there is a cliff of ten thousand feet.
Retreating is a bottomless abyss.
Princess Longji I feel like a fish caught in a big invisible net. No matter how hard I struggle, I can't escape this suffocating despair.
What should she do?
What can she do?
An unprecedented helplessness and grievance, like a cold tide, instantly flooded her heart.
From childhood to adulthood, she has been the proud daughter of heaven, Imperial Father's most favored daughter, and the existence that Heavenly Court has countless gods and stars holding her in the moonlight.
How has it ever been like today, where we are in a dilemma, with heaven and earth unable to respond, and earth and earth unable to function?
As he thought about it, Princess Longji's nose felt sour, and his originally bright and dazzling eyes were uncontrollably covered with a layer of crystal mist.
The eye sockets turned red little by little.
She endured it and bit her lips to prevent the tears of humiliation from flowing down.
But that stubborn look, coupled with the expression that was about to cry, only added a bit of fragility and poignancy that I felt pity for.
Her eyes, subconsciously, with a final hint of pleading that even she herself was not aware of, turned towards the person who caused all this.
She hoped to see a trace of movement, a trace of intolerance, even the slightest bit of looseness on Qin Feng's handsome face.
However, no.
Qin Feng's expression was still so calm and indifferent, as if the princess Heavenly Court who was about to collapse in front of her was no different from a stone or a weed on the roadside.
This extreme indifference became the straw that broke the camel's back.
Princess Longji The extremely tight string in my heart finally broke with a bang.
Just when the crystal teardrop was about to fall down the cheek, a plain voice rang out without warning.
"I didn't mean to embarrass you."
Qin Feng suddenly spoke.
His tone was no longer the indifference that overlooked the eternity before, nor was it the domineering kind that regarded the Lord of the Three Realms as nothing. Instead, it was like the gentlest wind in spring, gently blowing over Princess Longji's almost broken heart.
This sudden change made Princess Longji stunned, and he even forgot to shed tears.
She raised her head in confusion and looked at Qin Feng.
I saw a faint smile on the corner of Qin Feng's mouth, and her deep eyes reflected her confused look at this moment.
"The fault for this matter is not yours." Qin Feng's voice was very slow, but it carried a strange soothing power, "But it is your arrogance Imperial Father."
Boom!
This sentence, like a warm current, instantly hit the softest place in Princess Longji's heart.
From childhood to adulthood, everyone has been telling her that Imperial Father is heaven, Imperial Father's will is the truth, and disobeying Imperial Father is the biggest sin.
This was the first time she heard someone say, wrong, it was Imperial Father.
This feeling is amazing.
There is a bit of treason and fear, but there is also an indescribable ease of being understood.
"Since you are a guest, I will not embarrass you."
Qin Feng changed the topic, his eyes moved away from Princess Longji's face, and fell towards the mist-shrouded fairyland outside the hall, his tone was casual, as if he was talking about an ordinary trivial matter.
"You might as well stay here for a few more days."
"Auntie, who is accompanying you, also took the opportunity to see if my Goddess Immortal Alliance is really an unsightly Demonic Evil place as rumored by the outside world."
These words were said so calmly and calmly.
But in the ears of Princess Longji, it is no less than the gospel coming from nine days away!
This is a step up!
A step that was so perfect that she couldn't refuse it and couldn't find any reason to refuse it!
Stay?
This thought exploded in Princess Longji's mind.
Yes, she can stay temporarily!
In this way, there is no need to go back immediately to face the thunderous wrath of Imperial Father, and it also gives things a buffer.
This is simply the only glimmer of hope in her desperate situation at the moment!
Princess Longji's heart was beating wildly uncontrollably. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but for a moment, she didn't know how to respond.
If you agree too quickly, will you appear too weak and lose Heavenly Court's face?
But if you don't agree...
Just when she was at war with nature and hesitating in her heart, a warm and soft jade hand gently held her hand.
"Yes, Your Highness Princess, our sisters just need a companion. Please stay and talk with us."
A voice as cold as moonlight, yet filled with sincere warmth, sounded in her ears.
Princess Longji turned around and met Fairy Chang'e's eyes as clear as water.
There was a slight smile on Chang'e's face. There was no hypocrisy or politeness in that smile, only pure goodwill and closeness.
This friendly attitude was like a warm current, instantly melting away the last bit of defense and reserve in Princess Longji's heart.
Before Princess Longji could speak, Yao Ji on the other side also walked up and took her other arm affectionately.
"Long Ji, just listen to Alliance Leader." Yao Ji's face was filled with a heartfelt peaceful smile, "You haven't talked to your aunt for a long time, just think of it as coming to my place to relax, okay?"
One is the Moon Palace Fairy who is famous in the three worlds.
One is my own aunt Blood Connection.
The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, surrounded her. Their words were kind and their postures were natural. They didn't mean the slightest bit of force, but they created a warm atmosphere that she simply couldn't refuse.
This...
Princess Longji completely ran out of ideas.
She looked at Chang'e with a sincere face, then at Yao Ji with eyes full of concern, and finally, her eyes involuntarily drifted to the man who had controlled the rhythm of the entire scene from beginning to end.
Qin Feng just looked at them quietly without saying another word, but his plain eyes seemed to have already understood everything.
Princess Longji suddenly understood.
From the beginning, I had no choice.
Whether it was the overbearing ultimatum before or the tender and affectionate offer to stay at this moment, it was just a chess game he laid out casually.
And I, from the moment I stepped into this Goddess Palace, I was already in the game and could no longer break free.
But...
For some reason, after thinking about all this, Princess Longji felt not only no anger at being plotted, but... a sense of relief.
Maybe it would be good to just stay like this.
At least, there is no need to go back and face the cold and majestic Imperial Father, and there is no need to be that involuntary puppet on strings.
Once this thought arises, it can no longer be contained.
Princess Longji's tense pretty face finally relaxed slowly. She lowered her eyes gently, and her long eyelashes cast a shallow shadow on her fair cheeks.
"Then... then Long Ji, I'll be bothering you for a few days."
Her voice was very soft, with a subtle hint of shyness and anxiety, like a mosquito humming.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became relaxed.
"Great!"
Chang'e and Yao Ji looked at each other and smiled, holding Long Ji's hand, looking even happier than she was.
In this way, a serious diplomatic incident that could trigger a full-scale war between Heavenly Court and Skeleton Mountain was eliminated in a few understatements by Qin Feng.
Princess Longji, who was sent to negotiate by Heavenly Court, didn't even achieve his goal. He was just half pushed and half put on the spot, and was "deducted" as a matter of course.
In name, I am accompanying my aunt and being a guest.
But in fact, everyone knew that from the moment Princess Longji nodded, she had become a substantial bargaining chip in Qin Feng's hands that could be used to beat Heavenly Court at any time.
