This competition to recruit a bride ended with Wuming successfully becoming the consort. When Wuming was about to leave, a guard came forward and said, "Consort, the princess invites you."
Wuming hesitated for a while, and then left with the guards. After all, if he refused in public, it would definitely cause an uproar. By then, everyone in Emperor Yan's capital would probably know about him, and it would be much more difficult for him to find someone from the Blood God Sect.
The guard did not take Wuming to the high platform, but prepared a sedan. Wuming asked where he was going. The guard replied: "Go to the princess's house and ask the consort to take the sedan." Wuming had no choice but to sit on the sedan and let them Take yourself to the princess mansion.
Although he didn't open the curtain, Wuming knew that there must be many people around him looking at him. The princess's mansion was located within the palace. As he approached the palace, the comments gradually became quieter.
When the sedan stopped, Wuming got out of the sedan and saw a tall palace standing in front of him, "Tsk, tsk, tsk." Wuming was stunned in his heart, is this where the princess lives? Sure enough, it is luxurious. Even before you get started, Wuming can feel the aura of luxury.
"Your Majesty, please." A maid greeted from the side. Wuming felt that she looked familiar. She seemed to be Liu Miaoyun's maid. Could it be that Liu Miaoyun was also in the princess's mansion? After Xiaoru said that, she turned around and walked towards the mansion to lead the way for Wuming.
"What's your name? Liu Miaoyun is here too?" Wuming asked.
"My slave calls me Xiaoru. As for the person you are talking about... he is naturally there too." Xiaoru thought about who Wuming mentioned as Liu Miaoyun, thinking that it should be the name his master told him.
Following Xiaoru's footsteps, Wuming came to the outside of the main hall. Seeing that Xiaoru had no intention of going in, but stood aside, Wuming knew that he would go in next.
When Wuming opened the door and walked in, the door behind him was slammed shut. A little candlelight suddenly lit up in the room, illuminating one side of the room. On a couch, a person had his back to Wuming. She has a graceful posture, and the dim light makes her figure looming, and a faint scent hits the tip of Wuming's nose.
This fragrance made Wuming feel very familiar, like orchids in an empty valley.
"I have fulfilled your request, can it be over?" Wuming broke the silence in the air and said to the man.
"Tsk." The man on the other side tutted, then stood up and faced Wuming, "You still noticed it." Although he was discovered, he was obviously not unhappy about it.
Liu Hongyan looked at the young man in front of her with great interest. When she first met, she was tricked into falling off a cliff. Although she fainted at the time, she knew that the cliff was hundreds of feet high. If she had landed on the ground, she would have fallen into a pile of mud. It can be seen that The force of the fall was huge at that time, but Wuming caught it easily. There seemed to be some mystery about him that attracted her.
Wuming didn't respond, but he didn't comment on her words. Although she had lied to him, he didn't lie to her. Li You was just a name he made up at the time.
"How about it? Do you want to be my future husband? If you become my husband, you will definitely be the one who is not inferior to one person, but the one who is superior to ten thousand people." As she said this, Liu Hongyan raised her slender legs as if she was deliberately saying something. Wuming's eyes were wandering, but he saw that Wuming remained unmoved.
"Why are you so cold? Is this princess not good-looking, or are you not as good as Long Yang?" Liu Hongyan looked at Wuming, her eyes full of weirdness. As a princess of a country, she was already so provocative. He But there was no reaction at all.
The corners of Wuming's mouth twitched, he didn't expect Liu Hongyan to say such words.
Speaking of Long Yang's kindness, Wuming couldn't help but think of Ren Pingsheng and Ye Yuntian, who had been separated for several months. Although he missed them very much, Wuming couldn't help but shudder when he thought that Ye Yuntian seemed to have strange habits.
"Don't think about it. My orientation is normal, but I won't think about personal relationships between men and women, at least until I do that..." Wuming sighed. That incident was naturally the culprit of finding Lishan Town's disaster. It is his mission and what he must do to destroy the culprit and let thousands of residents of Lishan Town rest in peace.
"Oh? That thing? Let me tell you, there is nothing that I can't do in this imperial capital. You said earlier that you came to the imperial capital for something, could this be it?" Liu Hongyan asked Wuming What he said was very interesting and could make people give up being the prince-consort of a country. Obviously, this matter was quite important to him.
Naturally, Liu Hongyan would not hesitate to help the person she likes, but she originally owed Wuming a life. It shouldn't have been two lives. One was for saving her life when she fell off a cliff, and the other was for being surrounded by Zheng Qian's people. At the time of killing, the latter was replaced by a favor.
Wuming thought for a moment and decided that it would be better not to tell Liu Hongyan. After all, he had to face evil cultists organized by cultivators, and their methods were extremely cruel. Although Liu Hongyan was a princess, the bodyguard was still a mortal after all.
How can a mortal survive from a cultivator with a body that transcends ordinary people? Even if she is protected by guards, she will not be able to escape.
"Are you okay? If nothing happens, I'll leave first." Wuming didn't seem to want to stay here. Although there was a beauty by his side, it was not what he expected.
"Hey, why are you so anxious? Am I so scary?" Liu Hongyan was very angry at Wu Ming's words. What's wrong with this person? Is this princess ugly? Why are you so eager to disappear from my eyes?
Wuming retracted his legs that were about to walk out, wondering what else Liu Hongyan wanted to do with him.
"There is a dinner party at my house tonight, and my father specifically told me to ask you to go with us." After Liu Hongyan said this, Wuming's eyes paused slightly. Does the emperor want to see him? Did he simply want to meet his future uncle or did he see something?
Wuming pondered for a moment and agreed. He also wanted to see what was going on with the emperor up close. He felt a familiar aura from the emperor outside the grocery store earlier. This aura might be that of a cultivator.
As for if the emperor is really a cultivator, he is not afraid that his identity will be discovered. With the breath masking technique taught to him by Master Mang, a cultivator who is not a higher level than himself should not be able to detect it.
"Huh." Liu Hongyan breathed a sigh of relief. Of course anyone else, Liu Hongyan, wouldn't be so careful. After all, she is a princess. If she pisses her off, she will be beheaded. But the person in front of her is her sweetheart after all, and he is still His own savior, besides, he couldn't use a strong one. The miserable situation of those masked men before was still vivid in his mind.
After Wuming agreed, Liu Hongyan raised a happy smile, then clapped her hands and several maids walked out of the darkness.
"Take your master to tidy up." Liu Hongyan gave the order, and all the maids took action, leading Wuming towards a room.
Wuming was speechless in her heart. She opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't know what to say. Although she was pretending to marry her, she always felt that Liu Hongyan was pretending to be real, but she didn't know what to say. He agreed to accompany her to the palace to meet the emperor, so he followed her.
On the other side, Liu Hongyan saw that Wuming had entered the room, with a victorious smile on her face. She was lying on the couch, thinking about how to get Wuming to know what he wanted to do so that he could help him complete it, so that he would feel at ease with her. Get married yourself.
Although Liu Hongyan initially just wanted to ask Wuming to help her overcome the difficulties of this marriage, she gradually became particularly curious about him during several interactions, perhaps because Wuming had a life-saving grace for her and was particularly close to Wuming.
Just as Liu Hongyan was lying on the couch staring at the box containing the mask she had placed aside, she saw Wuming coming out of the next room.
"You guys go down first." Liu Hongyan waved her hand, and first dismissed the maids who had been treated by Wuming before, then stood up and walked to Wuming and looked up and down a lot. After a long time, she patted Wuming's body and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, yes. You look like a prince-in-law, please, Mr. Li."
Wuming is now dressed in gorgeous clothes, like a nobleman. He doesn't look like a savage in the mountains just a few days ago.
After that, the two of them entered the palace in a carriage. In the carriage, Liu Hongyan told Wuming that they should observe some etiquette when they see the emperor later. After all, Wuming's current identity is Liu Hongyan's fiancé, and the emperor is his future father-in-law. Wuming had previously The promise was to help Liu Hongyan get married, but it would not have too much influence or interfere with anything.
What dissatisfied Liu Hongyan was that the space in the carriage was quite large, and Wuming insisted on sitting at the farthest end, where he closed his eyes and meditated.
When the carriage stopped, Wuming slowly opened his eyes. Just as he was about to go out, a soft little hand grabbed one of his hands, and then held their palms together. This sudden move made Wuming just... His body froze when he wanted to lean out, and he turned to look at Liu Hongyan, his eyes full of confusion.
"Ahem, pay attention to our status now. We are an unmarried couple now, and we must act like we are in love." Liu Hongyan was a little embarrassed when Wuming looked at her like this, so she had to cough twice to relieve the embarrassment.
Wuming asked doubtfully: "Is this the first day?"
"Of course, it's all like this." Liu Hongyan naturally didn't give him a chance to get rid of her.
Wuming didn't think too much and accepted it. After all, it wouldn't hurt to hold hands.
When the unknown two people arrived, the tables in the palace were already full of people, and only two seats were left empty. When the people sitting there saw that the two people came in holding hands, they were all stunned, with surprise in their eyes. .
After the two of them sat down, Emperor Liu Tianlin of Dayan, who was sitting on the main seat, was the first to ask: "What is your name and where are you from?"
"My name is Li You, and I am from Qingshui Town, Wenzhou." Wuming stood up and clasped his fists, saying that Lishui Town was the town Wuming passed through before, and he also helped the residents of the town defeat mandrills and rescue their children.
"It can be seen that Xiao Qi likes you very much." Liu Tianlin said with a smile on his face.
"I'm not talented, so I feel ashamed to be favored by the princess." Since I promised Liu Hongyan, I have to play it out to the end.
"Okay, in addition to celebrating today's beauty's lucky husband, let's start tonight's Autumn Lantern Festival." Liu Tianlin ordered the banquet to start tonight without asking any questions.
