I used to love someone and be inseparable from them; now I love someone and keep them in my heart.
At first, Jiu Bailu was curious about Mu Fusheng because of their deep Mu Fusheng entanglement, which led her to contact him to learn about and explore him.
But the more he got to know him, the more he realized that Mu Fusheng had left a deep imprint on his heart.
Jiu Bailu held Mu Fusheng 'Mu Fusheng hand, her face beaming with joy.
Fortunately, my efforts were not in vain.
Fortunately, the cause and effect did not develop in a bad way.
Thankfully... he still has feelings for her.
Looking at Jiu Bailu's smile, Mu Fusheng sighed helplessly and said, "In the end, he still fell for a woman."
Jiu Bailu revealed a sly smile, like a little girl who had done something naughty, and teased, "You don't want to?"
Mu Fusheng gripped Jiu Bailu's hand tightly, their fingers intertwined, and smiled helplessly, "Now that things have come to this, there's no chance to object."
Gu Sheng Xiao Hei rolled his eyes at him.
This is simply taking advantage and then acting innocent.
You should know that Jiu Bailu is the undisputed number one beauty in the Chaos Realm, and her talent, strength, and character are all top-notch. How could you agree to marry such an outstanding woman, who is pursued by countless people and has been proposed to by various major forces?
If those who like Jiu Bailu Jiu Bailu are treated coldly by her heard this, they would probably want to stab Mu Fusheng a few times, right?
The Mo Clan patriarch and the dean of the Chaotic Spirit Academy chuckled at the sight.
They all turned to look at the Nine Dragons Sovereign.
The Mo Clan leader said, "The people behind him are no ordinary people. I suggest you refuse the Seven Treasures Holy Sect."
The dean nodded in agreement. "Today's decision will determine the future of the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty. Think it over carefully... Besides, you don't want to sell your daughter for personal gain, do you?"
Upon hearing this, the Nine Dragons Sovereign nodded, "A mighty divine dynasty that has to resort to selling its daughters to appease itself truly has no reason to exist."
The Mo Clan patriarch and the dean both smiled upon hearing this, and then left one after the other.
However, when the ministers heard the Nine Dragons Sovereign's words, they began to refute them.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider! That is the Seven Treasures Holy Sect. If they are determined to target us, the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty will not be far from its demise."
"Moreover, a marriage alliance between the Princess and the Seven Treasures Holy Sect would grant Her Majesty access to even better resources. Why not?"
The Nine Dragons Sovereign had now made up his mind, and with a wave of his hand, he said, "I have made my decision, there is no need to say more."
"If any of you believe the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty will perish, then leave now. I will not stop you."
Seeing this.
The ministers looked at each other, some thinking the king's actions were correct, while others believed the dynasty was doomed.
In an instant, more than a dozen ministers bowed to the king and got up to leave.
Seeing the departing ministers, the Nine Dragons Sovereign's expression hardened slightly. He said to his attendant, "Follow them secretly and kill them where there are no spies."
The attendant showed no surprise, nodded, and left the hall.
A minister, holding a high position.
They would inevitably know many of the secrets of the Divine Dynasty, as well as the distribution of its resources.
If this information were to leak out, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty.
not to mention...
As a minister, you openly contradict the king? This already sends a bad message.
If they are kept around, the monarch's absolute power and authority will be greatly diminished, which is an outcome the Nine Dragons Sovereign does not want to see.
As the ruler of a country, this level of ruthlessness and decisiveness is necessary.
After dealing with a series of matters in the court and deciding on measures to deal with the Seven Treasures Holy Sect, the other ministers also left one after another.
The Nine Dragons Sovereign then came before Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu.
Seeing the two still holding hands, Jiu Xuan couldn't help but ask with an ambiguous expression, "Should I call him brother-in-law?"
Jiu Bailu still had a smile on her face, but her ears were already bright red.
The Nine Dragons Sovereign glanced at Jiu Xuan, Jiu Xuan straightened up.
"I hope you can treat Bailu well." The Nine Dragons Sovereign looked at Mu Fusheng, a smile appearing on his face. "Your path ahead will likely be difficult, and I hope you can withstand the pressure from the Seven Treasures Holy Sect, just as you did when facing Ji Yang today."
Mu Fusheng nodded and said, "Now that a choice has been made, it is natural to carry it out."
and...
If the Seven Treasures Holy Sect were to shamelessly pursue and kill him with all their might, they would have no choice but to call upon their master to handle the situation.
Surely the master couldn't just stand by and watch his disciple's future happiness be ruined?
"Your wedding will be postponed for now, until this matter is resolved," the Nine Dragons Sovereign waved his hand and said, "Go and rest first."
After bowing slightly to the Nine Dragons Sovereign, Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu left together with Xiao Hei Gu Sheng.
Jiu Xuan wanted to follow, but the Nine Dragons Sovereign said, " Jiu Xuan, you stay here and tell me more about Mu Fusheng."
Upon hearing this, Jiu Xuan was taken aback, then nodded.
After leaving the main hall, the group returned to the small courtyard in the woods of the Jiu Bailu.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei and Gu Sheng suddenly said, "Ah, Gu Sheng and I have something to discuss. Call me when you're done."
That's all...
Mu Fusheng throbbed. How could this lousy road even be driven through?
Jiu Bailu, without batting an eye, watched Xiao Hei and Gu Sheng leave, then looked at Mu Fusheng and said teasingly, "Your senior brother is quite worldly-wise."
Mu Fusheng covered his head helplessly. " Little Senior Brother Hei isn't usually like this."
"So what should we do next?" Jiu Bailu pulled Mu Fusheng to sit in the pavilion, and after dismissing the maids, poured Mu Fusheng a cup of tea, saying, " The Seven Treasures Holy Sect won't let this go so easily."
After pondering for a moment, Mu Fusheng said, "Staying here might implicate the Divine Dynasty. I think we should take the initiative to go to the Cangxuan Continent to divert the Seven Treasures Holy Sect's attention. That way, the pressure on the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty won't be so great."
Hearing this, Jiu Bailu felt a warmth in her heart.
She understood Mu Fusheng's personality.
The Cangxuan Continent is the territory of the Seven Treasures Holy Sect, and going there voluntarily will inevitably increase the risks significantly.
This is completely contrary to Mu Fusheng's personality and way of doing things.
Jiu Bailu knew that this was for the sake of the Nine Dragons Divine Dynasty's wishes.
This was also to ease her worries about the affairs of the Divine Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Jiu Bailu smiled and asked, "And what happens after we go to the Cangxuan Continent?"
Mu Fusheng asked, "Do you know about the Dark Domain...?"
Jiu Bailu nodded. "I've heard of it."
After Mu Fusheng explained the Dark Domain to Jiu Bailu, he said, "Let's go help the Dark Domain gain a foothold first. As for how the Seven Treasures Holy Sect will act next, we can only deal with it as it comes."
Jiu Bailu laughed and said, "Then let's not delay, shall we set off now?"
"No." Mu Fusheng shook his head seriously.
Seeing Mu Fusheng's serious expression, Jiu Bailu couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Mu Fusheng said earnestly, "Let's wait two more hours. If we go out too early, my senior brother will laugh at us."
Jiu Bailu didn't react for a moment, and when she did, her face turned bright red.
What are you thinking?!
