Being One Princess's Imperial Son-in-law or Two Made No Difference
After a moment's hesitation, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu's eyes darted around, and she said:
"You agreed so readily?"
"You didn't even ask what those three things were?"
Chen Changqing smiled faintly and said:
If I'm not mistaken.
"Xiaoyu, you haven't figured out exactly what the three things you mentioned are yet, have you?"
"If that's the case, why ask so many questions?"
"Besides..."
At this point, Chen Changqing paused slightly before adding:
"From this day forward, we shall be dao companion."
Your business is my business.
"Don't even mention promising you three things, even if it were more, what difference would it make?"
As Chen Changqing spoke, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu felt a warmth in her heart, and a faint blush involuntarily rose to her cheeks.
Just as Chen Changqing said.
She hadn't yet decided which three things she wanted him to agree to.
"Alright then."
"You said it yourself, so don't go back on your word later."
"Otherwise..."
As she spoke, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu gestured with her small fist at Chen Changqing.
Chen Changqing saw this and couldn't help but joke:
"How?"
"Xiaoyu, are you planning to murder your husband?"
Upon hearing Chen Changqing's words, Xuanyuan Xiaoyu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Okay!"
"Come on, let me show you around the Divine Dynasty Imperial Palace."
Chen Changqing nodded, then reached out and pulled Xuanyuan Xiaoyu up.
Xuanyuan Xiaoyu lowered her eyes, and the blush on her face deepened.
Time slips away quietly.
In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.
After staying at the Divine Dynasty Imperial Palace for a few days, Chen Changqing also planned to leave.
The matter with Xuanyuan Xiaoyu is now settled.
The two became dao companion partners, Divine Dynasty announced this to the world, thus canceling the wedding ceremony.
Afterwards, Chen Changqing bid farewell to Xuanyuan Xiaoyu and set off for the Maple Leaf Dynasty.
Before long, he had entered the territory of the Maple Leaf Dynasty.
What shocked Chen Changqing was...
In just a few days, the Maple Leaf Dynasty has undergone earth-shattering changes, with the Imperial Dynasty territory expanding many times over.
In addition, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi became incredibly abundant throughout the entire Imperial Dynasty territory.
"Is this the benefit of winning first place in the Hundred Dynasties War?"
After a moment's thought, Chen Changqing composed himself and then flew on his sword toward the Imperial City of the Maple Leaf Dynasty.
Soon, he arrived in the Imperial City.
Before Chen Changqing could even reach Liu Ruyan's residence, a beautiful figure gracefully arrived—none other than Liu Ruyan herself.
"Changqing Brother Changqing!"
Liu Ruyan was naturally pleased to see Chen Changqing.
Earlier on the way back, with Liu Ye's encouragement, she had figured things out.
Even if Chen Changqing becomes the prince consort of the Divine Dynasty, she will still have opportunities.
As they approached, Liu Ruyan gazed at Chen Changqing with tender affection, and then said:
"You... you're back."
"Um."
Chen Changqing nodded slightly and looked Liu Ruyan up and down.
Besides noticing that Liu Ruyan had become even more alluring, he also discovered that Liu Ruyan cultivation had improved again in just a few days.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable under Chen Changqing's scrutiny, Liu Ruyan pursed her lips and said:
"Junior brother, why are you staring at me like that?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing realized he had been somewhat out of line and quickly looked away, saying:
"Senior sister, I saw that your cultivation has improved again."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan smiled and said:
"The Maple Leaf Dynasty of today is not what it used to be."
"After the Empress Dowager returned, she immediately used the Nine Provinces Supreme Order to completely transform the entire Imperial Dynasty."
At this point, Liu Ruyan changed the subject and asked:
"Oh, right."
"How did your discussion with the Third Princess go?"
When will the wedding be held?
"When the time comes, our Maple Leaf Dynasty will have to prepare a grand gift for you!"
"After all, the Maple Leaf Dynasty's current transformation is entirely thanks to your help, Junior Brother."
Seeing that Liu Ruyan spoke so casually and generously, Chen Changqing realized that Liu Ruyan must have come to a conclusion.
After a slight pause, he replied:
"It's cancelled."
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was taken aback, wondering if Chen Changqing had called off the engagement after she left.
Seeing Liu Ruyan's expression, Chen Changqing quickly explained:
"Senior sister."
"I've discussed it with the Third Princess."
"The wedding will not be held, but I will still be the son-in-law of the Divine Dynasty, that remains unchanged."
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded in understanding and responded:
"I see."
Then, Chen Changqing paused, looked at Liu Ruyan with a serious expression, and said:
"Oh, right, senior sister."
I've come to find you.
"I wanted to tell you that I'm preparing to return to Mount Shu."
"I don't know if you're staying here or coming back with me?"
Liu Ruyan didn't hesitate and answered softly:
"My mother wants me to stay in the Imperial Dynasty to cultivate."
"Now, the Maple Leaf Dynasty has become the number one Imperial Dynasty, with all kinds of Cultivation Resources readily available. Cultivating here is no worse than cultivating in the Shu Mountain Sacred Land."
"In addition, I will also undergo baptism at the Dragon Transformation Pool of the Divine Dynasty."
"This time, I won't be able to return to Mount Shu with you, Junior Brother."
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing nodded slightly and said:
"That's fine too!"
And so, Chen Changqing and Liu Ruyan chatted as they walked.
For a moment, Chen Changqing paused.
"Um?"
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan frowned slightly, puzzled, and said:
"What's wrong, junior brother?"
Chen Changqing didn't rush to speak; instead, he looked at Liu Ruyan with a serious expression.
Seeing Chen Changqing staring at her so intently, Liu Ruyan was taken aback, and her heart began to beat faster for no reason.
"Senior sister."
Actually... there's something else I want to tell you.
Liu Ruyan paused, then asked with a hint of panic:
Wha... what did you say?
Chen Changqing didn't keep them in suspense and answered directly:
"The point is... being an Imperial Son-in-law is the same whether you have one or two."
"Ah?"
Upon hearing what Chen Changqing said, Liu Ruyan immediately panicked, her cheeks flushed, and she said coquettishly:
"Junior brother, you..."
She naturally understood what Chen Changqing meant.
"How?"
"Senior sister, you don't want to?"
Seeing Liu Ruyan's expression, Chen Changqing pressed for an answer.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's blush deepened, and she quickly said:
"No, I... I do!"
As she spoke, she lowered her head involuntarily. Chen Changqing's sudden words caught her completely off guard, leaving her unprepared.
Of course, deep down, Liu Ruyan was extremely happy.
"Junior brother."
"Actually... actually, I'd be content as long as you leave a place for me in your heart."
After a brief silence, Liu Ruyan stammered.
Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing nodded slightly and took the initiative to reach out and help Liu Ruyan up.
Then, Chen Changqing frankly told Hua Yao about her situation.
Liu Ruyan didn't care. Since she could accommodate Xuanyuan Xiaoyu here, she could naturally accommodate Hua Yao as well.
