"Grandma, do you mean... I should take the initiative to pursue Zhou Chen?"
Meng Yiran opened her beautiful eyes wide and said in disbelief.
In her mind, it's always boys who pursue girls; there's no reason for girls to take the initiative to pursue boys.
This is so embarrassing for her!
Seeing that her granddaughter was hesitant to back down, Snake Granny could only earnestly advise, "Girl, you can't hold onto those old ideas. For your own happiness, you should be brave and make your move. Otherwise, if Zhou Chen is snatched away by another woman, you'll have nowhere to cry!"
"But..."
Meng Yiran somewhat reluctant.
"There are no 'buts'."
The Snake Granny hugged her granddaughter tightly and said in a deep voice, "Look at that girl Yu Tianmeng. She's the eldest daughter of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, with a higher status than you. Doesn't she still dote on Zhou Chen? If you don't take the initiative, I'm afraid..."
Upon hearing her grandmother mention Yu Tianmeng, Meng Yiran immediately became wary.
Yes, she can do what Yu Tianmeng can do!
Thinking of this, Meng Yiran gritted her teeth and finally nodded, saying, "I'll listen to Grandma. I'll definitely take the initiative and make Zhou Chen my grandparents' grandson-in-law."
"That's right!"
Hearing her granddaughter agree, the Snake Granny was overjoyed.
With Zhou Chen as their grandson-in-law, the Meng Family is bound to soar to new heights...
At the same time.
"Achoo!"
Inside the lavishly decorated palace of the Silves Palace, Zhou Chen, who was lying on the bed preparing to rest, suddenly sneezed without warning.
"Who is thinking of me? Zhu Zhuqing? Na Na? Ling Ling? Yan Zi? Xue Ke? Or is there some treacherous subject plotting against me?"
Zhou Chen pinched his nose with some confusion and muttered to himself.
As the saying goes, what you keep in mind will eventually come back to you. With his strength reaching the level of Zhou Chen, he can sense if someone is plotting against him or missing him; a sneeze is one such sign.
However, he had many female confidantes and many mortal enemies, so for a moment, he couldn't figure out why he suddenly sneezed.
"Why..."
With a sigh, Zhou Chen suddenly touched the bed next to him; it was empty.
This made him feel very lonely and isolated.
He originally thought that Yu Tianmeng would keep him company tonight, but he didn't expect that the girl and her sister Yu Tianling were invited away by Zhang Ling Yun, the Soul Douluo of the Silver Moon Family, under the pretext of moon-viewing and eyebrow-painting, leaving him all alone.
"Knock knock!"
Just as Zhou Chen was tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, a crisp knocking sound suddenly rang out.
The next moment, a melodious young girl's voice rang out. "Palace Master Zhou, are you asleep?"
"No."
Zhou Chen's eyes lit up instantly. Judging from that voice, it sounded like Zhang Luo Shen, the young queen of the Silver Moon Family!
Was the queen knocking on his door in the middle of the night to discuss his life ideals with him?
Overwhelmed with excitement, he immediately sprang out of bed, leaped to the door, and opened it.
Under the moonlight, Zhang Luo Shen wore a long purple dress, with a crescent-shaped gemstone adorning her slender, white neck. A crown with nine wavy protrusions held her silky black hair back, making her look like a fairy from the moon palace.
Thinking about how this girl's Martial Soul seemed to be the moon, Zhou Chen felt a strange ripple in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but burn with desire.
Feeling Zhou Chen's intense gaze, Zhang Luo Shen blushed and whispered, "Palace Master Zhou, are you planning to talk to me right here at the door?"
"Haha, my apologies, please come in, please come in."
Zhou Chen stepped aside and extended his hand in an invitation.
"Thank you, Palace Master Zhou."
Zhang Luo Shen nodded her thanks politely, then lifted her long legs and walked into the room.
"Please sit down."
Zhou Chen pointed to a few chairs in the living room, then sat down first, and Zhou Chen Zhang Luo Shen obediently sat down opposite him.
Seeing Zhang Luo Shen's obedient appearance, Zhou Chen immediately understood that this girl definitely wanted something from him!
Therefore, Zhou Chen didn't keep them in suspense. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and asked directly with a smile, "Your Majesty, what brings you here so late at night?"
"Please don't call me Your Majesty, just call me Luo Shen."
Zhang Luo Shen's pretty face flushed slightly as she spoke gently.
"Alright, I'll call you Luo Shen from now on."
Zhou Chen immediately seized the opportunity and used a single sentence to bring the two closer.
However, he became slightly wary.
Unsolicited kindness is either a sign of malice or theft.
As expected, Zhang Luo Shen looked directly at Zhou Chen and said in a soft tone, "To be honest, Palace Master Zhou Luo Shen, I do have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
As she spoke, Zhang Luo Shen raised her fair and jade-like left hand, and a flash of light appeared in her palm, revealing a purple Seven-Star Token.
This token was given to her by Zhou Chen at the banquet tonight; even her aunt has one.
"Palace Master Zhou, you told me during the banquet that this token could get Purple Micro Palace to help me once."
Zhang Luo Shen stared nervously at Zhou Chen, afraid that he would change his mind.
"I did say that."
Zhou Chen looked completely bewildered, and said with a helpless smile, "I really didn't expect that you would want to use this gift so soon after I gave it to you! You're in such a hurry!"
"Please forgive me, Palace Master Zhou, I have truly run out of options."
Zhang Luo Shen gave a wry smile and said, "If there were even the slightest way, I wouldn't be so shameless as to visit you in the middle of the night."
"What difficulties have you encountered that have driven you, the Queen of the Silves Kingdom, to such desperation?"
Frowning, Zhou Chen guessed, "Is it the Holy Spirit Church or the Spirit Hall that's threatening you?"
"Neither."
Zhang Luo Shen said with a strange look in his eyes, "It's the Heaven Dou Empire."
"The Heaven Dou Empire? Isn't your Silver Moon Family just a subordinate of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family? What threat can the Royal Family pose to you?"
Zhou Chen asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Luo Shen sighed, her pretty face blushing as she said, "Xue Ye wants me to marry a member of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, but I don't want to."
Zhou Chen immediately understood.
No wonder Xue Ye chose the Silver Moon Family to inherit the throne of the Silves Kingdom.
So that's what they were planning to do, taking both carrots and rabbits at the same time!
First, let Zhang Luo Shen inherit the throne, and then let someone from the Heaven Dou Imperial Family marry Zhang Luo Shen. In this way, the entire Silves Kingdom, as well as the vast land and 300,000 troops of the Silves Kingdom, will all fall into the hands of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family!
What a cunning scheme! Xue Ye is truly something else!
Seeing Zhou Chen's strange expression, Zhang Luo Shen assumed he didn't want to help and quickly said, "Palace Master Zhou, do you know? Xue Ye wants me to marry Prince Xue Xing! He's over sixty years old! I really don't want to marry him! Please help me this once!"
As she spoke, Zhang Luo Shen stood up from her chair and knelt directly in front of Zhou Chen, her voice trembling with tears, "Palace Master Zhou, Luo Shen would rather marry you and be your woman than marry an old man in his sixties!"
