Chapter 190: 191 The King of Zhenyuan Country

“I hope so.”

Li Xiaobai responded nonchalantly, knowing that this Ouyang Yue’er was obviously all smiles on the surface but cursing in her heart. From her gaze, it was not hard to tell that this woman harbored some thoughts about him.

She would probably turn on him and bite hard the moment they arrived in the Imperial City and faced the King of Zhenyuan Country.

It wasn’t far to the Imperial City; in less than half an hour, the Lamborghini had entered the foot of the Heavenly Throne.

The Imperial City was heavily guarded, starkly different from the other cities along the way.

The city gates were wide open, the atmosphere was grand, and there was an endless stream of visitors and pedestrians.

Dragons and phoenixes were carved onto the city walls, with dense Dragon Qi swirling around them, visible to the naked eye. This was the exclusive Dragon Qi of the royal family and the location of a nation’s fortune, which only a truly historic and profound great country could possess.

As the group alighted from the car, they were greeted by a sense of historic vicissitude. This was a genuine ancient capital of several dynasties, in existence since a thousand years ago. From the rise and fall of dozens of dynasties, through the extraordinary contributions of Confucianism Masters from generation to generation, came the Zhenyuan Capital of today.

The Imperial Palace was even more majestic, resplendent in gold, and from a distance, one could feel the deep royal majesty and a sense of solidity.

“Young Master Li, please allow this humble one to arrange for you to rest briefly in the palace. I will immediately report to Father and set up a banquet so that we may have a conversation,” said Ouyang Yue’er.

“Hmm, go ahead.”

Li Xiaobai nodded his agreement, and Ouyang Yue’er, along with Ouyang Shuanger, hurried away.

The surrounding attendants stepped forward to set up tea and fruit platters, treating him very appropriately. After all, he was a guest personally brought by the Eldest Princess and the younger princess. With unclear backgrounds, they didn’t dare to neglect him.

Recently, many important figures had visited the Imperial Palace, and this young master was probably one of them.

Li Xiaobai sat in the room, while Ji Wuqing on the side was ravenously devouring the fruit platter, enjoying the food to the fullest.

“Giggle, boy, these fruits aren’t bad, barely palatable,” she said.

Li Xiaobai was speechless: “Aren’t you the ancient Phoenix? How can you still eat these mundane things?”

“Giggle, I am testing for poison with my own body, to see if these people have played any tricks, boy, you should be grateful to me,” Ji Wuqing said indifferently, swallowing a whole banana in one go. Li Xiaobai was flabbergasted by the speed; despite her small body, she had quite an appetite.

“Eat slowly, no one is competing with you…”

At the same time.

In the Imperial Palace, before the grand hall, Ouyang Yue’er was weeping as she made her case.

“Father, you must seek justice for your daughter. That Li Xiaobai is too bullying, relying on the support of powerful backers. He treated your daughter so harshly, and in Ancient Moon City, he even made your daughter kneel before him. This humiliation must be repaid twice over!”

Atop the throne, the middle-aged man’s face was livid with rage, “Is that truly the case? That Li Xiaobai dare cause trouble in my Zhenyuan Country?”

“It’s absolutely true, please, Father King, order his capture!” Ouyang Yue’er’s eyes shimmered with vengeance.

“Father King, you mustn’t. Li Xiaobai is the owner of Tangneng First-class, and within the Tianbei Secret Realm, he saved your daughter’s life multiple times. This time, his visit to Zhenyuan Country, firstly, was to request Father King to purchase Spiritual Medicine from him to repay his kindness, and secondly, Young Master Li intends to open a branch of the Tangneng First-class bathhouse here. It’s an excellent opportunity for Zhenyuan Country!”

Ouyang Shuanger offered her advice from the side. She had thought it through on the way; even if it meant opposing her elder sister, she had to persuade Father King not to follow the same disastrous path as those sect overlords.

“Little sister, why do you speak on behalf of Li Xiaobai again and again? Did you not also kneel to him at the banquet? This is a contempt for the millennia-old history of our Zhenyuan Country. As princesses of the royal family, our every word and deed represents the face of Zhenyuan Country. If word of this spreads, what would outsiders think?”

“Furthermore, this Li Xiaobai is currently within the Imperial City, at the feet of the heavenly son. He is at our disposa,l are you suggesting, little sister, that Father King and the several sponsors cannot deter him?”

Ouyang Yue’er spoke with a contained ferocity, her dissatisfaction clear in her voice. She was but a tool used to consolidate the royal family’s position, and after just one trip outside, she repeatedly defied herself, without any semblance of respect for rank.

“But…”

Ouyang Shuanger was frantic with urgency. She wanted to tell the truth yet didn’t dare; Father King’s authority was unmatched, and even as his daughter, there were words she didn’t dare to openly utter.

But the problem was, they truly didn’t intimidate him; Li Xiaobai had brazenly withstood the Heavenly Tribulation and slain cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, with her standing right by his side.

“Enough, what you both have said is not without merit, considering the welfare of Zhenyuan Country. Let there be no more quarreling.” From behind the curtain, a magnetic female voice chimed in.

The middle-aged man’s gaze shifted, “My lady, what insight do you have?”

“Husband, Yue’er is not wrong. Li Xiaobai is arrogant and overbearing, as can be seen in the Immortal Spirit Daily. He holds precious resources now and has mastery over the Tangneng First-class secret recipe that we have been researching. I believe we must obtain it,” the woman behind the curtain spoke slowly.

“However, he has saved Shuanger’s life, and she has promised to trade with him. If we were to directly take his life, it would provoke unnecessary gossip. Better to invite him to tomorrow’s banquet. Let’s talk first. If he willingly hands over the treasures, all shall be well. If not, then we can make other plans.”

“This is also an opportunity for those from the Fire Qilin Cave to be present, let’s all meet and thereby solidify Shuanger’s affair.” The woman behind the curtain continued.

At these words, Ouyang Yue’er’s eyes sparkled with joy — her mother was on her side. However, Ouyang Shuanger’s complexion turned utterly pale; she was truly going to be wed to the Fire Qilin Cave. These words from her mother meant that it was already a done deal.

“Mother, must Shuanger truly be married off? Why has no one ever spoken to Shuanger about these things?”

“A man comes of age to wed, and so does a woman. It is only natural, and more so since you are a princess of Zhenyuan Country. Getting married is only a matter of time,” said the woman.

“But Shuanger has never met the man, how can marriage be decided so rashly?” Tears trembled in Ouyang Shuanger’s eyes.

“That man is a disciple from the Fire Qilin Cave, an established force in the Central Province with profound foundations. Marrying there, you would benefit in every way without harm. It is an opportunity many people seek but cannot obtain,” said the woman flatly.

“Shuanger, do not make a fuss. Within the royal family, when has a marriage ever been decided by one’s self? Everything must prioritize the interests of Zhenyuan Country first!” the middle-aged man said sternly.

“My lady is right. No matter what, Li Xiaobai has indeed saved Shuanger’s life. We should first meet, civilities are still necessary. Yue’er, handle this matter, and as for Shuanger, after experiencing the trials outside for a while, you must have been quite frightened. You should return to the palace and rest.”

“Thank you, Father King!”
