"The teacher didn’t force either."
The Female Sword Emperor smiled and said, "Although I agreed imdiately at the ti, the teacher gave one right, which was to choose for myself!"
"I only have one requirent," the Female Sword Emperor leaned in close and looked into Bailuo’s eyes, "as long as you can defeat , you can do whatever you want."
The Female Sword Emperor was not a fighting maniac, and if any other man defeated her, she would never tolerate such humiliation.
But since she had agreed to her uncle’s proposal and had a marriage arrangent with Bailuo, as long as Bailuo proved he was a strong enough match for her, what would the Female Sword Emperor have to be dissatisfied with?
Conversely, if Bailuo lacked strength, then the so-called marriage agreent would be nothing more than a worthless piece of paper; the Female Sword Emperor would never allow a weaker man to dominate her.
One was eager, and the other could choose freely.
The uncle did not force them, because whether it was Shi Xiyu or the Female Sword Emperor, the uncle allowed them to judge for themselves.
If you think Bailuo is suitable, then marry him; if not, forget it.
"Uncle!!!"
"Hey, hey, okay, okay," the uncle covered his ears with both hands, his eyebrows deeply furrowed, "how was I to know you’d turn out to be so outstanding back then?"
"What does that have to do with whether I’m outstanding or not!"
"How can it not matter!"
The uncle said as a matter of course, "As an elder, is it wrong for to worry that my child might not be able to find a wife in the future?"
"No."
"Then is it wrong for to arrange a marriage for him in advance?"
"Well, that’s not wrong either."
"I’m just worried!"
The uncle continued, "I’m not so old feudal patriarch, I fully recognize the concept of free love."
"So, you see, to , a marriage agreent doesn’t an much. Can a piece of paper really tie soone to you?"
The uncle said, "What if she doesn’t want you anymore? What if she dumps you? What if she finds soone better?"
"....."
As the old saying goes, don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
In the world of martial arts, having more debts doesn’t weigh you down!
"As long as I prepare enough reserves, even if you fail once, twice, or a dozen tis, as long as there is one success, then it’s all good!"
One must admit, the uncle’s words truly left Bailuo at a loss for what facial expression to make.
What’s wrong with an elder being eager to find a wife for his child?
Nothing!
But Bailuo felt persecuted by his uncle, he just lacked evidence.
Just before this, Bailuo was trying in a roundabout way to trick his uncle, but who could have expected, the next second, the uncle presented evidence of his life-long love for Clearspring.
Look, the Labyrinth Demon Queen and the prominent Female Sword Emperor!
Facing such temptation, the uncle managed to remain unfazed, passing them all to Bailuo, and he did so consistently over decades.
This unwavering determination, this sincere purity, who dares say the uncle isn’t a good man?!
"I, Saros, have never straddled two boats."
The uncle patted Bailuo’s shoulder and showed a kind smile, "But you, my boy, were already a bustling harbor, where many ships vie for passage, even before you were born."
Terrifying!!
The wisdom of the uncle is indeed as formidable as this!
Bailuo had just begun to entertain the thought of persecution, and before he could turn around, the uncle dazzled him with a show of cleverness.
"Do you, do you always trick people like this?"
"Trick?"
The uncle said, "You can refuse, can’t you? Co on, prove it!"
"....."
He was indeed the man who understood Bailuo the best, having completely seen through his thoughts.
Shi Xiyu and the Female Sword Emperor were both Masters of Miracles; no matter what, it was unthinkable for them to tear up this so-called marriage arrangent.
Bailuo might choose not to fulfill it, but he could never refuse it.
Because once he refused, not only would it an slapping soone else’s face and shaming the other party, but it would also sever the sweet relationship between them.
As Yatun’s leader and the king of his nation, Bailuo could not possibly do such a foolish thing as to render himself impotent.
"Saros?"
"Isn’t that Saros?"
"You’ve also beco a Master of Miracles? Oh, a Miracle Creature, huh? All the sa, all the sa, shall we drink?"
Soon, a great number of Masters of Miracles walked in, most of whom Bailuo had never seen before, except for the King of Aolai and the Cain Empress, with whom Bailuo had a slight acquaintance.
"This is just too..."
Uncle’s wide connections were well known to Bailuo, but even having witnessed them firsthand, he was still shocked by Uncle’s awesoness.
Uncle: I’m just an ordinary old man.
Uncle No. 2: I know a little bit, really just a little bit.
Uncle No. 3: An old and mature man should not show panic.
Uncle No. 4: I am, perhaps, just a billion tis stronger than him.
Showing off!
This detestable old man just loves to show off!
"Alas."
Bailuo sighed and noticed that the Female Sword Emperor and Shi Xiyu were still there: "Aren’t you two going?"
"Not interested."
This was the Female Sword Emperor speaking. She did not like socializing and found playing scheming gas to be too exhausting.
"As for , I’m not good at it."
Shi Xiyu was not really bad at it. Though she appeared very obedient in front of Bailuo and Uncle, in the Labyrinth Nation, she was truly a Female Demon Queen.
There was once a dieval nation that offended Shi Xiyu and was destroyed overnight by the demons she dispatched.
When facing friends, Shi Xiyu was just a soft girl.
But towards those who were unrelated to her, as a Master of Miracles, she had her own temper and bottom lines.
"Forget it, have you two eaten enough, or do you want more?"
"We ca straight here to see you, haven’t had a bite to eat yet."
The Female Sword Emperor, true to the story of Elder Shan’s heroine, sat beside Bailuo and grabbed a piece of pastry from his plate: "Hmm, I must admit, the Emperor Candidate’s people may not be much to speak of, but the food they make is quite good."
Bailuo rembered hearing from Uncle that the Holy Empire was now divided into eastern and western parts, separately led by the Female Sword Emperor and the Emperor Candidate.
However, the number of Masters of Miracles supporting the Emperor Candidate was clearly greater than those for the Female Sword Emperor, and if it ca down to a fight, the Female Sword Emperor wouldn’t stand a chance.
"Furthermore, the Emperor Candidate’s real identity is Dumu’an, and with Li Guang as backup," Bailuo thought to himself, "the Female Sword Emperor might perish at Dumu’an’s hands without knowing her opponent’s true power."
Even though Dumu’an dared not reveal himself, he could rely on a sneak attack to take out an Upper Tier Female Emperor, and that would be a deal surely worth making.
"May I make a suggestion to you?"
"Oh?"
The Female Sword Emperor put down her food and said coldly, "You want to make requests before becoming my husband? Fine, let’s hear it. If it’s reasonable, I’m willing to give you face."
"I said a suggestion..."
"Request, suggestion, even if you claid it as a command, I’m not entirely opposed."
Her tone might be sowhat harsh, but for a person of the Female Emperor’s stature to consider giving face to Bailuo and to lower her status, this was indeed not an easy feat.
This showed that, although the Female Sword Emperor verbally disacknowledged Bailuo, deep down, she probably cared about the marriage commitnt. Read new adventures at .Côm
Just like his senior sister, the Female Sword Emperor was the type to be a strong woman before marriage, and a little woman after.
