"You look really beautiful dressed like this. I almost didn't recognize you."
In the Back Garden, Su Xian smiled and walked over as he watched Qian Renxue quietly sitting in the pavilion, observing the fish.
The Palace Dress outlined her exquisite, tall figure. Its golden embroidery shimmered with an air of nobility, and paired with her soft, flowing golden hair, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
"You're back. His Majesty didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Qian Renxue came back to her senses when she saw Su Xian approaching and immediately went to meet him. Her gaze was extremely complicated, impossible to decipher.
"Uh..."
As Qian Renxue turned around, Su Xian was completely stunned by her beauty.
Her delicate features seemed crafted by the gods, with bright eyes and pearly teeth. Her shapely M-shaped lips were elegant and refined, while her temperament was proud and noble yet playfully adorable, cool and ethereal yet petite and sweet.
With a wife like this, he would be willing to live fifty years less!
But Su Xian was unwilling to lose even a single year, because she was his wife.
She was now, and she would be in the future!
"What could he possibly do to me?"
With a light chuckle, Su Xian stared at her and said in complete detail:
"I have some good news for you. After my tireless, life-threatening... [omitted] pleas, my Imperial Father, though reluctant, still issued an edict making you my Imperial Prince Consort."
Of course he had been reluctant!
Would he have agreed if Su Xian had not threatened him with the Soul Guidance Cannons?!
Fifty-one Soul Guidance Cannons—that was tens of millions of gold coins!
Tsk, tsk... This wife had cost him far too much!
But it was worth it!!
After pausing slightly, Su Xian looked at Qian Renxue's dazed expression and could not help laughing.
"So from today onward, you're my wife—and the First Imperial Princess Consort of the Heaven Dou Empire!"
Boom!
It was as if a bolt from the blue had exploded beside her ears. Qian Renxue was instantly dumbfounded, her limbs going weak.
She... had really become an Imperial Prince Consort?
What the fuck?!
She had come here as an undercover agent, so how had things suddenly turned out like this?!
As the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, he had actually let his eldest legitimate son marry a lowly orphan girl he had only met once?
Was that something an emperor—a father—was supposed to do?!
Fuck!
I want to run away. I'm done with this!
"Don't get so worked up. We have a long life ahead of us."
Su Xian hurriedly supported Qian Renxue. Looking at the beauty in his arms, he could not help reaching out to brush her cheek, teasing her with a smile.
"Ah!"
Her face instantly flushed red like a cherry. Like a startled rabbit, Qian Renxue hurriedly escaped from Su Xian's embrace.
"You..."
Her little face was crimson as Qian Renxue glared at Su Xian in shame and anger, her heart in complete turmoil.
From childhood until now, she had never been so physically close to a man!
Seeing Qian Renxue's flustered and adorable appearance, Su Xian immediately found it amusing. He did not continue teasing her; everything had to be taken slowly.
"If you're not used to living here, tell me whenever you want. Don't wrong yourself."
His tone was gentle, his gaze tender as water. Su Xian looked deeply at her, then gave an unquestionable order:
"Ye Xing, from today onward, protect her without leaving her side. Don't let her suffer even the slightest harm."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
A cool female voice rang out, though it was impossible to tell where it had come from.
Qian Renxue also immediately came back to her senses. Looking at the courtyard before her, her expression shifted slightly.
Hm?
Her eyes darted around, and only then did Qian Renxue realize that Su Xian had already vanished.
Just as she looked around for him, a clear and hearty laugh suddenly rang out, followed by a song she had never heard before.
"Delicate clouds weave their patterns, flying stars convey their sorrow, the Milky Way stretches far in secret crossing."
"When golden wind meets jade dew, it surpasses countless meetings in the mortal world."
"Tender feelings flow like water, a happy reunion passes like a dream; how can one bear to look back upon the Magpie Bridge road home?"
"If two hearts remain true for ages, why need they be together morning and night?"
Understanding the meaning behind those lines, Qian Renxue's face flushed crimson, and she became unbearably shy.
When golden wind meets jade dew... Is he talking about him and me?
"It surpasses countless meetings in the mortal world..."
Murmuring the line, Qian Renxue's heartbeat sped up wildly, and she felt so embarrassed that she could barely contain herself.
It was the first time she had ever encountered such blatant confession of love!
"You shameless rogue! I won't like you!" Qian Renxue stamped her foot, mortified and furious.
Hmph! He was the First Prince, yet he was actually so frivolous!
The corners of her lips unconsciously rose, but when she remembered her identity, her smile instantly froze, bitterness filling her heart.
Xue Qinghe, you've fallen for someone you shouldn't love...
You and I are destined to be impossible in this lifetime!
You should give up!
I will never like you. Never!
After steadying herself slightly, Qian Renxue's eyes became resolute once more.
She had come here to prove something to that woman, and for Spirit Hall's future.
She absolutely could not be burdened by romantic feelings!
Absolutely not!
Writing poetry to flirt with a girl, showing off, then running away to leave room for her imagination—this was the ultimate secret countless transmigrators had learned through experience!
Just as he had come softly and left softly, waving his sleeve and leaving behind only a majestic, charming silhouette.
Without even thinking about it, Su Xian could guess Qian Renxue's expression right now. She was definitely overjoyed, probably wishing she could offer herself to him.
Sigh~
Such was the charm of a transmigrator, like a firefly in the darkness, turning his back on eternal night and illuminating the dawn. It simply could not be stopped!
Stay low-key... Don't fall for me. I'm just a bedtime legend!
With a melancholy sigh, Su Xian clasped his hands behind his back and slowly walked away. He did not return to his palace, instead wandering around the residence.
Although Heaven Dou City seemed safe, who could guarantee that accidents would never happen? For the imperial family, there was no such thing as absolute safety.
Therefore, for his own safety, Su Xian had to prepare in advance.
He had bought many formations from the Instant Kill System, so naturally, he had to turn the residence into an impregnable fortress.
"Done!"
He set up more than a dozen formations of varying sizes, surrounding the entire residence. Su Xian clapped his hands, anticipation flashing in his eyes as he wondered who would become the first victims.
Even a Titled Douluo would find it difficult to break through these formations, much less some petty intruders.
At this moment, Su Xian was actually looking forward to a Titled Douluo coming to his door so he could give them a good beating.
A level 30 Soul Grandmaster brutally crushing a Titled Douluo...
Just thinking about it was fucking exciting!
After finishing everything, Su Xian returned to his study and began designing the blueprints for Entertainment City.
For one thing, Su Xian wanted Entertainment City to make money. After all, the system required spending money, and he could never have too many gold coins.
What if the next item that appeared was something like the Pangu Axe? If he saw a 1 followed by an endless string of zeroes, he would not even have time to cry.
There were countless game concepts for making money in the future, while entertainment on the Douluo Continent—spirit fighting—was incredibly monotonous. He was not worried that Entertainment City would fail to make money.
For another...
Su Xian wanted to turn Heaven Dou City into the strongest fortress possible. Forget Titled Douluo—even if a Limit Douluo came, he would make them kneel and sing "Conquer."
That way, he could lie back and win in peace, leisurely spending his days with his sweet little wife in his arms.
