My Old Fatherly Heart! (Please Vote and Donate)

"As long as you agree to take me in, I'm willing to marry you." Biting her lip tightly, Qian Renxue found it difficult to say the words. A flush of red drifted across her pale cheeks.

That's more like it. From now on, you'll be my wife. Su Xian was thrilled.

This was Qian Renxue, the future Angel God!

If he married her, he could save himself a lifetime of struggle.

Wahahaha!

This was personal charm!

Just look at this!

He had been transported here for less than a day, and he had already found himself a wife!

Who could be faster than him?!

Ah, ptooey!

How could a man say he was fast? Sinful, sinful...

"Wife?" Qian Renxue's mouth twitched sharply. She was deeply resistant to that form of address.

Wuwuwu~ She was here to carry out a mission, not to sell herself!

"This is our Love Token. You'd better keep it safe."

As he spoke, Su Xian took another Storage Ring from his Storage Ring and placed it on Qian Renxue's finger.

A Love Token?

Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly contracted. She fell into a daze as an indescribably subtle feeling surged into her heart.

Could it be... that he really intended to marry her?!

Seeing Su Xian's gentle, sweet, caring smile, Qian Renxue's heart trembled, and she could not help feeling a little lost.

Kawaii!!

"Come on! Your husband will take you around Heaven Dou City for some fun."

Seeing Qian Renxue standing there in a daze, looking adorably silly and cute, Su Xian's lips curled up slightly. He took her hand and led her away.

The Imperial Palace of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"What did you say? The First Prince refused my summons and even told me to come another day?!"

Xue Ye stared at the soldier kneeling on the ground, cold light shooting from his eyes. He seemed like a furious lion on the verge of exploding, frightening the surrounding guards until they trembled.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the First Prince truly said so."

Enveloped by a deep and dangerous aura, the soldier's limbs went cold as he answered in terror.

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye said nothing. His fingers tapped against the throne as he seemed to be contemplating something.

He knew his eldest son Xue Qinghe's character well. He had always been mild and courteous, and would never disregard an imperial decree.

Could something urgent have happened?!

In the end, Xue Ye chose to trust Xue Qinghe. After pondering for a while, he asked, "What has Qinghe been doing lately?"

Huh?

The soldier froze at the tone. How could he possibly know what the First Prince had been doing? Before he could reply, a figure clad in black suddenly appeared inside the hall and gave Xue Ye a slight bow.

A murderous aura erupted in an instant—deep, terrifying, icy, and chilling. The soldier trembled in fear and immediately lowered his head even further.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the First Prince suddenly gathered all the money in his residence today. Afterward, he remained alone in the palace for two hours."

"After refusing Your Majesty's summons, he went to the eastern side of Heaven Dou City..."

At that point, the man in black suddenly stopped. Xue Ye's brows furrowed as his gaze turned even colder.

Gathering all the wealth in his residence for no reason, then refusing his summons—his first thought was the word "rebellion."

But when he thought of Xue Qinghe, Xue Ye immediately shook his head, and his expression softened.

Of his four sons, he might suspect any of them of rebellion, but not Xue Qinghe. He simply could not believe it.

He was the First Prince to begin with, and Xue Ye had already hinted that he would inherit the throne. Moreover, with his benevolent nature, he would never rebel.

"Then... what could be the reason?"

Xue Ye frowned, utterly perplexed. But seeing that Night Shadow seemed to have something left unsaid, he immediately said, "Speak freely. I will not blame you!"

"Your Majesty, ten minutes ago, the Shadow Guards reported that the First Prince seemed to have gone to Qingya Courtyard."

As he spoke, Night Shadow lowered his head as well, not daring to look at Xue Ye's expression.

Qingya Courtyard?!

Xue Ye's mind went blank. He stared dully at Night Shadow as though he had misheard him.

What the hell!

What kind of place was Qingya Courtyard?

It was Heaven Dou City's largest flesh market—Goulan!

You little brat!

He refused his father's summons just to go to a place like that!

Aaaaargh!

He was infuriating me to death!!

A grand and tyrannical aura instantly swept through the entire hall. Xue Ye's face turned purple with rage, and his roar blasted through the palace.

"Guards! Bring the First Prince back immediately! If he resists, drag him back by force!"

"Yes!!"

Watching the soldier leave, Xue Ye sat down and let out a long breath, forcing down the fury in his heart.

"Night Shadow, tell me, what kind of women can't the other noble families in the palace provide? Yet that brat would rather go to such a place. He has utterly disgraced the royal family!" Xue Ye shouted, unable to quell his anger.

Night Shadow moved his lips, but in the end, he swallowed the words that had reached his mouth.

This was not something a minister like him could interfere with.

"You watched Qinghe grow up. You're practically half an uncle to him, so just say it!" Xue Ye said unhappily.

"I dare not!"

Night Shadow quickly clasped his fists in reply, his eyes filled with respect and gratitude. After organizing his thoughts, he finally said, "I believe that when the First Prince went to such a place alone, he had no intention of revealing his identity. Perhaps he simply wanted to see what it was like and relax for a while."

"You mean he feels too repressed in the palace and doesn't dare think about matters between men and women?"

Understanding Night Shadow's meaning, Xue Ye raised his brows and asked.

Night Shadow did not answer. His silence had already made his meaning clear.

"Mm, I understand."

Seeing this, Xue Ye also fell silent and began to consider the possibility.

But the more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

Qinghe was already fourteen, yet he still had no marriage arrangement. Xue Ye had not even heard of a girl he liked.

And as a member of the royal family, he could not do everything according to his own wishes. Perhaps Qinghe had been repressing himself for too long.

Otherwise, with his personality, how could he dare do such a thing?!

Sigh~

Letting out a dejected sigh, Xue Ye could not help feeling worried. Looking at Night Shadow below the throne, he asked in the tone of an old father, "Night Shadow, do you think I should find Qinghe a marriage match among the nobility?"

What the—

Could His Majesty really change his mind so quickly?!

Seeing Xue Ye suddenly shift his attitude and the topic so swiftly, Night Shadow was stunned as well.

"That's right! It is time to find him a marriage match, hahaha..."

Seeing Night Shadow's dazed expression, Xue Ye's lips curled up slightly as he laughed smugly.

How could a man establish himself before starting a family?!

If Qinghe had someone to anchor his heart, he could handle imperial affairs without distraction, allowing his masculine rationality to rise to another level!

More importantly, I could hold a grandson sooner!

The more Xue Ye thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. His face flushed red, and excitement rose within him.

Wahahaha!

As expected of me—I could even think of a solution like this!

Sigh~ My damned fatherly heart has nowhere to go!
