"Uh, well, let's talk about that later!"
"I'm planning to visit the Heaven Dou Empire now. I wonder if you four..."
Luo Feng heard the thoughts of the sisters, Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
Then he saw the expressions on Wang Dong's and Ma Xiaotao's faces beside him.
Luo Feng immediately felt his head swell.
He couldn't handle this sort of fire in his own backyard.
Some things were better taken slowly.
He would return to the Heaven Dou Empire first and cement his status as the princess's consort.
"We sisters are willing to follow and serve Master all the way!"
Snow Empress was the first to state her position.
And her decision was Ice Empress's decision!
"I'm going with my husband too. Don't even think about leaving me behind!"
The next moment, Wang Dong also made her position clear.
Her approach was simple: where the husband led, the wife followed.
Ma Xiaotao, however, seemed somewhat hesitant.
After all, unlike Wang Dong, this girl was a mainstay of Shrek Academy's inner court.
She shouldered many responsibilities she had to fulfill.
The Continental Soul Master Tournament, for example.
Ma Xiaotao was the captain of Shrek Academy's entire team.
This wasn't merely a matter of her personal honor.
It also concerned Shrek Academy's legend of remaining undefeated for ten thousand years.
"Xiaotao, if anything makes this inconvenient for you, just say so. I understand!"
Seeing the conflicted look in Ma Xiaotao's eyes,
Luo Feng understood instantly.
As the saying went, the greater the strength, the greater the responsibility.
Those words suited Ma Xiaotao perfectly!
"A Feng, I... I want to go with you!"
"At least let me follow you to the Heaven Dou Empire and meet that princess!"
It seemed Ma Xiaotao still wasn't willing to give up.
The other three sisters were all going. What would it mean for her to return to Shrek alone?
"You're not forcing yourself?"
Seeing Ma Xiaotao's expression,
Luo Feng smiled.
Men and women really did think differently.
In fact, Luo Feng would accept it whether Ma Xiaotao went or not.
Even in front of the princess,
Luo Feng would acknowledge his relationships with these girls.
It was just that Ma Xiaotao's heart had softened after all.
"No more agonizing over it. I'm going with you!"
"If the academy needs me, I'll just rush back!"
It was as though she had found an excuse that could convince herself.
After announcing her decision, Ma Xiaotao looked relieved.
Over the years that had passed,
Ma Xiaotao had carried far too much on her shoulders.
She had considered other people's feelings at every turn.
She had never truly lived for herself!
So this time, Ma Xiaotao was ready to throw caution to the wind!
At the very least, she couldn't let her life be filled with regrets!
"All right!"
"Relax, everyone. It's not as though we're going to face some major exam!"
"Mm!"
As the saying went, when men and women worked together, the work wasn't tiring.
With these four great beauties accompanying him,
the ten-day journey passed quickly.
He had originally thought they would face many obstacles entering the Heaven Dou Empire.
But who could have imagined it?
His princess had long since plastered portraits of her consort all over the border checkpoint.
There was no chance anyone would stop them.
And even if someone did fail to recognize what stood before them,
once they saw Luo Feng's nine Soul Rings as a Titled Douluo, they all had the sense to scatter.
Although the king had yet to officially confer his title as the princess's consort!
Who would dare provoke a young Titled Douluo powerhouse for no reason?
Just like that, their party of five soon arrived outside the princess's sleeping quarters.
The person who greeted him was once again an old acquaintance.
It was Mu Xue, who could control her hair Martial Soul.
"It seems our consort really is quite popular with women!"
Seeing the four great beauties who had accompanied Luo Feng, the princess's guard seemed very surprised.
For one thing, Luo Feng's strength had improved far too quickly.
When they had parted, this fellow had clearly still been a Five-Ring Soul King.
Who would have thought that in just a few months,
this fellow would already become a Nine-Ring Titled Douluo!
What was even more inconceivable was that
the four beauties following Luo Feng were each stronger than the last.
The Heaven Dou Empire's intelligence agents had even uncovered an extremely shocking piece of information.
Wang Dong, who was beside Luo Feng, might be the young master of Clear Sky everyone had been talking about lately.
What sort of heaven-defying fortune was this?
He had managed to bring all these people to his side!
It seemed the human race wasn't unprepared!
"Mu Xue, where's Vina?"
Luo Feng might have felt that he was quite familiar with her.
So he had also become more casual in how he addressed her.
"Her Highness went for a prenatal examination!"
"Just three days before your arrival, Your Highness, the princess suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit..."
So that was what had happened.
He had to admit that the Heaven Dou Empire had responded swiftly in every respect.
They had immediately placed the princess under protection.
At the same time, they had tightened security on every front!
"All right, would it be convenient to let us in to see the princess?"
When he heard that he might already be about to become a father,
every cell in his body as the Dragon King cheered and leaped for joy.
And just then,
the long-absent system notification sounded again.
[Ding, congratulations to the host on unlocking a hidden quest.] [As long as you successfully hold the princess in your arms, you will receive an unexpected Dragon King reward.]
Oh!
To think there was a hidden quest too!
What could it be?
And this system requirement sounded very simple.
All he needed to do was hug his girlfriend!
"All right, then please follow me inside, Your Highness!"
"But as for the other four..."
Just as this dutiful guard was about to do something for the princess,
Princess Vina's delighted voice suddenly rang out behind her!
"Husband!"
"I knew you would come looking for me!"
"I've heard a little about these four sisters. Everyone, come inside together!"
Perhaps she had sensed something?
Or perhaps she had noticed the commotion outside.
Princess Vina, who had just finished her prenatal examination, was actually like a happy little butterfly.
Ignoring everyone else completely, she threw herself straight into Luo Feng's arms.
She even offered him a sweet kiss in public.
On the surface, it seemed a brief separation had made their reunion sweeter than a wedding.
In truth, this was also a display of might.
It was a struggle between women!
The princess seemed to want to prove her position.
But...
Before the princess could pour out all her longing,
a handsome young man suddenly sprang into Luo Feng's view.
He was glaring at him with blood-red eyes!
"And this is...?"
Seeing this, Luo Feng could naturally sense the other party's ill intentions.
So he unceremoniously released his nine Soul Rings.
Especially his eighth and ninth Soul Rings.
Their quality had probably already exceeded many people's imaginations!
"Long Aotian, what are you trying to do?"
"Today is the day my consort and I reunite. Don't make trouble!"
Hearing the princess's words,
Luo Feng took another close look at that handsome young man.
He finally matched the person to the anime.
But before he could catch his breath,
a tremendous surge of Soul Power suddenly came from nearby.
It seemed one of the Heaven Dou Empire's court guardians had made a move.
This fellow's intention was also obvious.
He wanted to put these visiting youngsters in their place.
Otherwise, they would behave without any regard for seniority.
They would be difficult to manage!
But at this sight, the princess waved her hand impatiently!
"I'll first take my husband around our imperial palace!"
"Then I'll take you all to meet my royal father!"
"He'll definitely like you!"
