Zhan Qingge's beautiful face lost all color.
She knew full well.
The demon before her.
Had audacity enough to defy heaven.
And a savage, ruthless nature.
He had even dared to slaughter a Spirit Emperor of her War Family.
Abducting her for Xiao Chen's pleasure.
Was something he truly dared to do.
He was not joking.
Thus.
At this very moment.
Zhan Qingge's thoughts were tangled like hemp.
She was utterly terrified.
She immediately brought up her betrothal.
Using it as an excuse to refuse.
As for that betrothal.
She had not lied.
For an Ancient Clan maiden of her exalted standing.
Matters of marriage.
Were rarely hers to decide.
Between Ancient Clans.
Powerful alliances were favored.
Marriages between their Heavenly Prodigies.
Quite often.
Were more like transactions.
"A betrothal? Easily handled! When the time comes, I'll personally visit the Nether Realm and offer some kind words of persuasion, so your future husband's family calls off the engagement themselves!" Qiongqi was utterly unconcerned.
In the past.
With something like this.
He would not even have bothered explaining.

He was a little more reasonable.
Of course.
In those bygone years.
Given his status.
Countless divine maidens and celestial beauties had adored him.
Whatever he requested.
They could not have wished for more, and none would refuse.
As for forcing anyone.
He had always disdained it.
First, there was absolutely no need.
Second, all things depended on affinity; without it, he would not insist.
"Senior, my future husband's family is powerful. They won't agree!"
Zhan Qingge looked pitiful and helpless.
"No matter. I excel at persuading others with reason. If they refuse to listen, heh heh..." Qiongqi chuckled sinisterly.
