After hearing the maid's words, Nangong Yuehua snapped back to reality and imdiately said, "What is that person's Realm?"
The maid replied, "Only the Genesis Realm."
Nangong Yuehua then said, "Bring him to see Us in the Royal Garden."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
As the maid's voice faded, she disappeared on the spot in an instant.
Once the maid had left, Nangong Yuehua said, "Since an envoy has been sent, We might as well see what is happening. We are curious to see what the Sum Emperor is plotting."
Having said that, Nangong Yuehua went directly to the Royal Garden, and Nangong Qingya was also very curious about what Lu Chen intended to do, so she followed to the Royal Garden as well.
After the two ladies arrived at the Royal Garden, it didn't take long for the maid to bring the so-called Envoy of Great Sum to the Royal Garden.
The mont the Envoy of Great Sum stepped into the Royal Garden, Nangong Yuehua and Nangong Qingya were suddenly stunned in the pavilion. When they ca to their senses, they released their Spiritual Energy instantly, their faces serious and their deanor as if facing a formidable enemy.
They had never imagined that the so-called Envoy of Great Sum would actually be Lu Chen himself!
Not right...
Nangong Yuehua quickly realized that the Lu Chen who had entered the Royal Garden only possessed the Cultivation State of the Genesis Realm, so it was clear he was not the person himself, or at least not his main body.
Seeing how tense Nangong Yuehua and Nangong Qingya were, Lu Chen's lips slightly curled up, revealing a trace of a smile, then said, "There's no need for the two fairies to be so nervous. It's not the first ti we have t."
After reassessing the Realm of the Lu Chen before them, Nangong Yuehua asked, "Is this your Puppet?"
Lu Chen said, "Indeed, at first We thought having a Puppet et you might seem insincere, but We were also worried that if Our true self ca directly to the Zixiao Dynasty, it might scare the two of you."
"If the two fairies feel that We lack sincerity, We can co imdiately."
Nangong Yuehua quickly said, "No need."
The Sum Emperor was capable of slaying a Heavenly Demon with a single sword; if his true self really ca here, they probably wouldn't have a chance to escape.
At this ti, Nangong Qingya asked, "We wonder how much of what the Sum Emperor said in the letter is true and how much is false?"
Regarding Lu Chen's claim of wanting to marry them, they definitely would not fully believe it. At Lu Chen's level of Realm, how could he possibly marry a woman just for her beauty?
Lu Chen certainly had an ulterior motive; it was just not clear what he was scheming.
They were suspicious whether Lu Chen wanted to turn them into Furnace Cauldrons, or perhaps he wanted to make them his playthings.
At this ti, Lu Chen replied, "The contents of the letter are all sincere words from Our heart. We truly do like the two fairies."
Hearing this, Nangong Yuehua let out a cold laugh, "Does the Sum Emperor think Us fools?"
"With the strength of the Sum Emperor, what kind of woman could he not have? How could he possibly fancy Us?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "You're right. In the Tianchen World, with just a word from Us, countless won would willingly marry Us, but We don't marry just any woman."
"Only those who can move Our heart will We marry."
"And the two fairies have moved Our heart."
Nangong Yuehua sneered, "The Sum Emperor must have said these words to many won before!"
Nangong Qingya also said from the side, "We are neither young girls nor are we the Purple Emperor. Do you think we will believe these words of yours?"
Lu Chen replied, "I know you do not believe, for at my level of realm, speaking of feelings does indeed seem juvenile, yet what I have said cos from the heart."
"As to whether you two fairies choose to believe or not, that is for you to decide. I have also given you ample ti to construct the world passage, should you wish to leave, you may do so at any ti."
"If you are willing to trust my words, then after you marry , the managent of the Ziyang World will be entrusted to you both."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Nangong Yuehua and Nangong Qingya were taken aback, and they suddenly felt they were beginning to understand the true intentions of the Sum Emperor.
By asking them to manage the Ziyang World, it ant that the Sum Emperor would not remain there long-term, and he was likely not confined to ruling just the Ziyang World.
Only when he rules a sufficient number of worlds would he consider delegating the managent of the worlds he conquered to others.
The Sum Emperor aid to use political marriage to bind them to his cause, making them manage the entire Ziyang World, while he proceeded to conquer others, continuing his campaign.
If that was his goal, it was entirely plausible.
No matter what world it is, high-end political alliances often require the most primitive of thods.
Becoming Lu Chen's woman would be tantamount to forming a political alliance.
However...
Although they had deduced that Lu Chen might indeed be sincere, there was still so wariness in their hearts towards him.
After all, one could never be too certain that Lu Chen would not go back on his word, and once they truly chose to stay, they would be like fish on a chopping block, completely at Lu Chen's rcy.
Seeing that the two won had fallen silent, Lu Chen continued, "Let put it this way, if I had wished to forcefully keep you, I would have done so on the day I slew the Heavenly Demon, without bothering to send a ssenger to you afterward."
"Even now, if I wanted to keep you, it would be an easy matter."
"I speak to you thus courteously because I need you to stabilize the entire Ziyang World in the future."
"Conquering the Ziyang World is just the beginning for ; my true journey lies amongst the stars and the oceans."
As Lu Chen's voice faded, Nangong Yuehua and Nangong Qingya exchanged glances.
Indeed, with the Sum Emperor's strength to slay the Heavenly Demon with one sword, it would have been easy for him to keep the various major powers of the Ziyang World on that day, his inaction was clearly a deliberate choice to let them return.
It was also a deliberate decision to let the two of them return, and given that Lu Chen's clone could arrive outside the Imperial Palace of the Zixiao Dynasty undetected, his true body could certainly do the sa.
That is to say, if he wished to use force to keep them, it would be easy for him.
For all they knew, Lu Chen's true body might already be sowhere in the Imperial Capital of the Zixiao Dynasty, unbeknownst to them.
With this thought, a cold sweat broke out on the foreheads of both won.
Should they refuse, it was hard to say what the Sum Emperor might do.
Yet...
After coming back to her senses, Nangong Yuehua glanced at the puppet version of Lu Chen, realizing that on the day he slew the Heavenly Demon, she had not clearly seen what Lu Chen's true form looked like.
The puppet Lu Chen was extraordinarily handso, and she did not know whether his true form was similar. Although at their level of cultivation state, looking for a Daoist couple first considered personal benefits, as the Empress of the Zixiao Dynasty, Nangong Yuehua still felt sowhat reluctant to marry an old man.
