Even with Yu Longyue's composure, she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
She was making every effort to control her facial expressions.
It turns out, it wasn't just about lusting after his body.
They're also envious of his family fortune, status, power, and identity...
They want to swallow all the benefits that are good for the Star Luo Empire in one gulp.
That's incredibly bold.
I just don't know if you guys have the ability to eat your fill in one go.
Most of the people in the palace smiled more as they looked at Yu Longyue Yu Longyue, seemingly waiting for her to nod so that everything would be over.
Patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Pavilion Master of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion Master, Representative of the Douluo Federation, future General, possessor of God Level Martial Soul, born prodigy... and so on.
Their numerous deeds left them in awe; absolute Miracle had occurred to one person.
I initially thought there would be a lot of heated debate, with each of us arguing back and forth, but now it seems like the issue is about to be resolved easily.
All eyes were focused on Yu Longyue, waiting for his answer.
At this point, if he simply nods, everything will be fine.
Dai Yun'er's gaze was filled with eagerness; she had even forgotten about a girl's reserve.
Please say yes, I beg you, please say yes.
She was even prepared to throw herself into his arms immediately, regardless of her status, as long as he agreed.
But Yu Longyue looked at Dai Tianling with a calm expression:
"I understand your love for your daughter, and I understand the importance of political marriages between nations. But I hope you can understand that marriage is based on mutual affection, not simply a political transaction."
Dai Tianling smiled slightly, seemingly unsurprised by Yu Longyue's answer:
" Yu Longyue, I'm not forcing you. I'm just stating a fact: Yun'er has deep feelings for you, and I believe that if you could become my son-in-law, it would be the best guarantee for the relationship between our two countries."
"I respect Dai Yun'er's feelings, but I cannot make a personal decision for political reasons," Yu Longyue retorted expressionlessly. "Furthermore, I already have a fiancée, and I have no right to accept Dai Yun'er's feelings. Also, this is a modern society, based on monogamy, not polygamy. Thank you."
He's a warrior of pure love.
I hate NTR the most.
Although I used to occasionally empathize with the blond guy, sometimes when I enter a state of sage-like clarity, I can think about everything from the smallest things to the very end of the universe.
For example, he pondered a question while in "wise man mode".
If a man stealing the spotlight from the main character is considered NTR (Netorare, a form of infidelity) for the male lead, then if a woman stealing the spotlight from the female lead, would that also be considered NTR for the female lead?
This is a strange question... but in the end, Yu Longyue still felt that a harem is a harem, so where does this talk of pure love in a harem come from?
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena, for some reason, revealed a subtle hint of satisfaction.
In contrast, Dai Yun'er trembled slightly upon hearing Yu Longyue's explicit refusal, striving to maintain the dignity and pride befitting a princess.
But the storm raging within her eyes welled up with tears, blurring her vision.
Her once beautiful eyes, like clear spring water reflecting all things in the world, have now become hazy because of Yu Longyue's rejection, as if a thin mist has shrouded the lake, obscuring all the light.
Before this, as a princess of a country, she believed that her looks, status, and position were in no way inferior to anyone else's, and her heart was filled with longing for the future and desire for love.
Now it feels like being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, only to be suddenly released, leaving behind an empty sense of loss.
The pain wasn't a sharp, stabbing pain, but a bottomless emptiness, like losing the most precious thing in life.
Before meeting Yu Longyue, no boy had ever caught her eye.
But strangely enough, after such a brief acquaintance with Yu Longyue, she inexplicably fell for him.
Especially after separating from Yu Longyue, she devoted her whole heart to him, just by learning about his deeds online.
The problem is, Dai Yun'er had no idea that Yu Longyue actually had a fiancée.
She hadn't even inquired about the slightest scandal involving Yu Longyue.
Even during the time when she went to the Shrek Academy as an exchange student with Long Yue, it was the same.
After attending the Sea God Matchmaking Convention, she was devastated to learn that Yu Longyue hadn't participated at all.
Even now, upon hearing that Yu Longyue was coming to the Star Luo Empire, she had made ample preparations.
I'll get him, even if it means drugging him!
Dai Yun'er bit her lower lip hard, trying not to show her vulnerability in front of others, and at the same time, she made up her mind to do so.
You refuse?
Then we'll make it a fait accompli...
Seeing Yu Longyue's resolute refusal, Dai Tianling's face turned ashen.
My precious daughter went up to him and practically begged him for his money, but he still refused.
They refused in front of the entire nation's top leadership.
How can they save face now?
In particular, Dai Tianling also took a moment to secretly glance at his precious daughter, and seeing the tears welling up in her eyes, he was also burning with anger.
The emperor's hands were bulging with veins, and his aura fluctuated somewhat erratically.
"Your Majesty." En Ci's call made Dai Tianling's breathing ease slightly, and he turned to look at the Imperial Preceptor.
En Ci gently shook her head at him, a hint of melancholy in her eyes.
When he heard Long Yue say that Dai Yun'er hoped he could help with this, he readily agreed, because it was a good thing for the Star Luo Empire, a great thing.
But today's situation was unexpected. With Yu Longyue's attitude so firm, this marriage alliance is unlikely to succeed.
Moreover, even with his Demigod -Limit Douluo cultivation, he couldn't see through Yu Longyue's cultivation level at all. From his perception, Yu Longyue was just an ordinary person.
It may seem full of flaws, but once there is any movement, it will surely split mountains and shatter rocks.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, for the sake of the nation, we must suppress our anger for now.
The entire palace fell silent once again. Yu Longyue could clearly feel that Dai Yueyan, sitting opposite her, was blazing with fury in his eyes, as if he wanted to burn her to ashes.
Yu Longyue didn't react at all, not even glancing at him.
If it weren't for Huo Yuhao's sake...
They are all Huo Yuhao's direct descendants, so we should be more accommodating; they are his juniors.
But if they take advantage of your kindness, then don't blame them.
He's not some saint, why does he care so much about others?
If you're feeling down, then everyone around you should feel down too.
Seeing that Yu Longyue ignored him, Dai Yueyan snorted coldly. In another situation, he would have pounced on Yu Longyue and attacked her.
Dai Tianling coldly looked at Yu Longyue: "Since Your Excellency does not accept such a simple request, then it's very simple, our Star Luo Empire will make another request."
"In ancient times, a dueling method was once prevalent on the Douluo Continent called the Trial of Five Gods. In any conflict between nations, if the weaker side had someone who could face five challenges from the stronger side and win all five, then the stronger side was required to cease hostilities and refrain from further warfare for at least a year."
" The Star Luo Empire Kingdom values martial prowess, but even more so, it reveres individual heroism. If Yu Longyue can prove to us that he is indeed that kind of hero, then we can agree to all of the Douluo Federation's conditions."
"Hehe."
Yu Longyue finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Hahahaha...
Yu Longyue, who suddenly burst into laughter in the palace, completely changed her previous peaceful and refined demeanor, replacing it with a hysterical madness.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena also realized that something was wrong.
He seems to have been influenced by the Golden Dragon King?
Could it be because my Spiritual Power is too low?
" Five Gods Decisive Battle? A nation that doesn't even have a Limit Douluo with the cultivation of Quasi-God, Five Gods Decisive Battle?"
Yu Longyue's smile vanished. She glanced disdainfully at everyone present, her chin slightly tucked in, her eyes narrowed, and a sharp glint appeared in her eyes.
"It seems I've been too much of a pushover lately. There are always some people who like to take advantage of nice guys."
"Then I'll be blunt."
"Are you worthy?"
