Scaring Huo Ling'er to Tears

But how could that be true?

The more Huo Ling'er thought about it, the more unbelievable it seemed. ̵̰̙̻͉̦͙̗̥̉̓̓͊̑̂̑x̸͍̘̳͂͊̂̊̀͊̕͘.̷̹̦̆̆c̶͙͈͚̽̄̈̎̒͜ó̶̧̧̝̳̠͇͕̺̲̹̔̈́̃͝͝m̷̗͓̽̂̌̋̃̌

How could she know that the person before her had already visited their Fire Nation's palace?

Moreover, they have already defeated the Fire Emperor.

In order to keep such a genius, the Fire Emperor felt that it would be a good deal to marry his daughter to him, so he took the initiative to give him a token of love and betroth her to Qian Ye.

She didn't know that it was because she hadn't returned to the palace yet; the Fire Emperor would naturally tell her when she returned.

Whether or not Huo Ling'er agrees is up to her.

If Huo Ling'er disagrees, the Fire Emperor will not force her.

He's already extended the olive branch; if it works out, great; if not, he won't lose anything.

Moreover, the Fire Emperor wasn't unaware of his own strength; with Qian Ye's formidable power, he felt that winning over his precious daughter wouldn't be a problem.

Let's see what Qian Ye does and whether he takes a liking to Huo Ling'er.

But the Fire Emperor had great confidence in his precious daughter. With her beauty, talent, and status as a princess of a nation, she was outstanding in every way.

Therefore, I feel that there is a 99% or higher chance that this matter will succeed.

Even if the jade pendant is real, and the token of love was given to you by my father, so what! As long as I don't agree, you can forget about becoming my other half, Huo Ling'er. Even if my father agrees, I won't.

Qian Ye was well aware of Huo Ling'er's attitude.

Even if it weren't for her, no one could accept a marriage that came out of nowhere.

What's more, the other party is none other than the spoiled little princess of the Fire Nation, Little Chili.

"Besides, you're wearing a mask. I don't even know if you're pretty or ugly, so how could I possibly be interested in you? At the very least, you should take off your mask first and let me see your face. Are you the kind of person who's too ugly to show their face in public, and that's why you're wearing a mask?" Huo Ling'er teased.

That was a great use of reverse psychology!

Qian Ye thought to himself, "It seems that damned appearance is still to blame. Fortunately, with the cheat system, I'm getting more and more handsome every day."

He may not be the most handsome man in the universe, but he's certainly handsome beyond compare, and there's no doubt that he's handsome beyond all the heavens and worlds.

"Huo Ling'er, have you thought it through?" Qian Ye asked her with a serious expression.

"What have you thought about?" Huo Ling'er didn't immediately understand the meaning behind his words.

Qian Ye: "I mean, are you really ready to see my true face beneath that mask?"

"Hey! I really don't want her to see my undeniable good looks!"

"It's alright. Even if you're ugly, I won't be afraid. At most, I'll ask my father to annul this engagement. So please take off your mysterious mask... no, the Dragon King Mask, and let me see your true face."

"Hopefully it won't be completely unrecognizable?" Huo Ling'er muttered to herself. ღ(¯`◕‿◕´¯) ♫ ♪ ♫ ♫ ♪ ♫ (¯`◕‿◕´¯)ღ

My father loves me so much, he wouldn't do such a thing.

"You're mistaken. I'm afraid that if I were to pluck the flower and it blooms, I'd be so handsome that it would fill your heart, your stomach, your head, and make you so excited you'd bleed... no, it should be a nosebleed."

"That's shameless! You make it sound so real." Huo Ling'er didn't believe him at all, thinking he was just bragging without any proof.

"Since you're so handsome, why don't you go to heaven? There are countless beautiful fairies in the Upper Realm, each one more stunning than Upper Realm being. You could have any beauty there, so why stay in the Lower Realm and pluck only me, Huo Ling'er?"

They really know how to gild their own lily!

Qian Ye was speechless. "It's not that there was no other way. To be honest, I was coerced by your father into agreeing. I had no choice but to agree. Although you're not beautiful, you're just average, not bad. I'll just have to suffer a little loss and reluctantly accept you. Besides, even if I didn't accept, I couldn't afford to offend the Fire Emperor. So after much consideration, I finally agreed to take you as my wife."

"I'm just average? You think you're at a disadvantage? You only agreed reluctantly, or were you forced into this engagement by my father?" Huo Ling'er stomped her feet angrily. "How can you be so shameless, so utterly irresponsible, saying such irresponsible things?"

"I am so beautiful, naturally gorgeous, a stunning beauty who could topple kingdoms, yet you see me as just average? I think you're looking at an elephant through a goose's eyes, treating everyone the same?"

Huo Ling'er grew angrier the more she thought about it. From childhood to adulthood, everyone loved her and admired her, but in his eyes, she was just average-looking, yet he reluctantly agreed to get engaged to her?

Who does he think he is?

She was, after all, the little princess of the Fire Nation, exceptionally talented and outstanding. If not the most beautiful woman in the Eight Regions, she was at least the most beautiful woman in the Fire Nation, right?

"Let's take off that damn mask of yours first. You say I'm just average-looking? I'll see what kind of person you are, daring to judge this princess's beauty and looks like that!" Huo Ling'er said angrily.

"Are you ready?" Qian Ye asked gently.

"Die already!" Huo Ling'er roared at the emperor.

Qian Ye: "..."

He reached out his hand and took off his mask.

oh?

Huo Ling'er was stunned, never expecting that there was another mask beneath the mask. "Are you trying to cast a spell on me?"

Qian Ye reached out and plucked another...

"A mask?" Huo Ling'er stomped her foot angrily, "How many masks are you wearing?"

Without her, Qian Ye is gone again.

This time the mask was gone, leaving only a face, an indescribable face.

Not to mention handsome, he's at least unrecognizable, the kind of person who could scare someone to death.

Father, help!

Huo Ling'er could no longer hold back and turned to run.

Qian Ye thought to herself, "I'll scare you to death!"

He deliberately transformed his face into an ugly one, intending to scare her first and then punish her.

It's because she spoke ill of me in her heart.

Huo Ling'er ran for a while, until she was completely out of breath. Looking back, she wondered if he had caught up.

But as soon as she turned around, she saw that face was already inches away, which startled her so much that she fell to the ground.

"You... you better not come any closer, or I'll really get rough with you!" Huo Ling'er said, shuffling her hips backward.

Haha~

Qian Ye laughed. She was indeed easily frightened; his little trick had scared her like this. "Huo Ling'er, you're already my fiancée. Given our relationship, we can sit down and chat to deepen our feelings for each other. Why did you run away?"

"You... I don't want to be your fiancée, no!" Huo Ling'er refused.

She thought to herself, "How could my father have fallen for him? He's completely changed appearance, yet he still betrothed me to him? Is he bewitched by him? Or is he trying to ruin his precious daughter?"

Qian Ye took another step forward.

"Don't come any closer!" Huo Ling'er cried out, "Waaah!" "I don't believe it! I don't believe Father would betroth me to you! You're so ugly, if Father wasn't blind, he wouldn't have agreed. So there must be some unspeakable secret behind this, right?"

Qian Ye: "Well, the secret is that your father really likes me and insisted that I accept the token of our love. I couldn't afford to offend my future father-in-law, so I had no choice but to agree. It was really difficult for me!"

"You're talking nonsense. My father would never do such a thing. Even if it were true, I wouldn't agree. If he really agreed, then let him marry you."

"But he's a man," Qian Ye said.

Waaaaah~ Huo Ling'er burst into tears, gritting her teeth and saying, "I don't care, I just don't agree."

"Let go of that girl!"

Just as the two were locked in a standoff, a young man roared and appeared between them.
