In terms of appearance, the little princess was undoubtedly a rare beauty, a gem among countless faces. Unfortunately, being born in the royal palace meant that the men who could truly appreciate her beauty were few and far between. Thus, when Gong Weiqi casually mentioned that he seemed quite familiar with the little princess, everyone couldn't help but be surprised at how he came to know her.
After a brief moment of astonishment, people recalled Gong Weiqi's status as a general, and it dawned on them that he must have visited the palace before. It was not surprising that he would be well-acquainted with the little princess.
However...
For Ye Huan, who had once been pecked by the little princess's pet hen, Gong Weiqi's words sparked malicious speculation about whether there was something special between him and the little princess. If that were true, Ye Huan would have a thousand reasons to persuade Zhao Wujie to annul his engagement to her.
Lost in thought, Ye Huan cast a questioning glance at the little princess.
Noticing Ye Huan's strange look, the little princess realized he must have misunderstood. A blush crept onto her cheeks as she stamped her foot in frustration and turned to Gong Weiqi, shouting indignantly, "Gong Weiqi! I'm not familiar with you... Please stop being so self-important!"
Gong Weiqi could only stare in silence.
Around this time last year, when Gong Weiqi was appointed as the Tiger General in the palace, he had met the little princess and instantly fallen for her charm. He believed she had also taken a liking to him, often stealing glances his way. He had resolved then and there to marry her one day.
Yet now, Gong Weiqi sensed that the little princess seemed to dislike him, leaving him utterly confused. He looked over at her only to find that she was gazing intently at Ye Huan, which left him speechless with anger.
What did it mean to have a sworn enemy? The hatred of a father’s murder and the resentment of a stolen wife! He would never forget how Ye Tian had destroyed the Gong family. Now it seemed that the woman he desired had developed feelings for Ye Huan—wasn't that just the embodiment of 'the resentment of a stolen wife'?
Clenching his fists tightly, Gong Weiqi resolved that if given the chance, he would kill Ye Huan—torn apart by horses, piece by piece—to vent his pent-up rage!
Unaware that another person was now constantly wishing for his demise after Han Lin, Ye Huan noticed that after shouting at Gong Weiqi, the little princess kept looking at him with affectionate eyes. He involuntarily shivered and instinctively took a step back. To his surprise, the little princess reached out her delicate hand and grasped his arm firmly.
"What are you doing?" His voice trembled slightly, revealing just how frightened he was of her. It was no wonder; anyone who had been pecked by her hen would likely carry some psychological scars. Just seeing her made Ye Huan want to flee—he was already doing better than most.
"What are you afraid of? We're already engaged; can’t I pull you just once?"
Looking at Ye Huan's terrified expression puzzled her. Ignoring the crowd around them, she blurted out their engagement without hesitation. This revelation struck everyone like a bolt from the blue; all present wore dumbfounded expressions—except for Durei IV, who had witnessed everything on the day Ye Huan went to the palace.
"Engaged? How come I didn't know?" "This is absurd; how could the little princess possibly be engaged to Ye Huan?"
After a brief moment of distraction, whether it was Zhang Ren, Weiyang, Gong Weiqi, or Zuo Yi, they all murmured, hesitating about the truth of the matter. It was no wonder; Zhao Wujie had never intended to marry the little princess to Ye Huan, and it was only natural to keep it a secret. Since Ye Huan said nothing, naturally everyone remained unaware.
Hearing that the little princess had actually revealed this matter, Ye Huan helplessly rubbed his forehead and quickly pulled the little princess aside. He spoke to her without any politeness, “I say, little princess, don’t think I don’t know you didn’t want to marry me when you were in the palace. And I don’t want to marry you either. Can we not mention the engagement?”
Ye Huan wasn’t foolish; after leaving the palace, he reflected on the look in the little princess's eyes when he was about to leave and understood quite a bit. The reason he hadn’t said anything was that he still hoped to cancel the engagement. Now, it seemed that word had spread like wildfire.
“I… I… I didn’t want to marry you back then, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to marry you now!” Being led by Ye Huan, Zhao Ziyu’s face turned as red as if it were about to bleed from embarrassment. Her small hand unconsciously tightened around his, her beautiful eyes sparkling with affection, both inviting and hesitant.
Seeing such an expression, Ye Huan, who had watched countless island nation battle films, felt a rush of blood and an unsettling stirring below. His pants formed a tent-like shape. However, thankfully, Ye Huan hadn’t lost his mind completely; he was still pondering what the little princess had just said—what once was does not mean it is now. Was this a confession?
His gaze gradually lowered; in his line of sight were her ample bosom and slender waist…
He suddenly felt an impulse to agree to the little princess's wishes. Yet inexplicably, an image of an old hen popped into his mind, causing the tent in his pants to quickly deflate again. Frustrated, he said, “Little princess, shouldn’t you think this over a bit more?”
Think? If Ye Huan hadn’t saved her life multiple times, she might have considered it. But when Ye Huan saved her for the first time in the Northern Liang Mountain Range, she had already decided that she would marry him for life. Thus, without a second thought, the little princess threw herself into Ye Huan's arms and whispered in his ear, “No need to think; I must become your Ye Huan’s main wife!”
Main wife…
Shamefully, Ye Huan felt blood rush from his nose as he recalled that Huaxia Nation practiced polygamy…
In the distance, although they couldn’t understand what had transpired between Ye Huan and the little princess, when everyone saw her throw herself into Ye Huan's embrace, they couldn’t help but exclaim in unison: “Rogue!” Among them, Gong Weiqi’s eyes burned with fury as he glared at Ye Huan. If not for the presence of a Ninth Level Court Chief Summoner beside him, he might have charged at Ye Huan right then.
Noticing all this with furrowed brows, Li Dan felt somewhat unsettled. As the lord of Sky Star City, he always considered how each event would affect his career first. A young master from the Ye Family, a grandson of the Mage Association president, a nephew of Beiyuan City’s lord—along with a general barely twenty years old—these were already enough to give anyone a headache.
Now there was also a little princess and a Ninth Level Court Chief Summoner involved—clearly individuals he could not afford to offend. If any conflict arose between Gong Weiqi and Ye Huan…
Li Dan couldn’t even imagine the consequences. Unable to hold back any longer, he chose to speak up and approached Durei IV with a smile. “Respected Mr. Durei IV, it’s quite windy and sunny here; shall we head back to the military camp?”
Nodding slightly, Durei IV didn’t have much objection. Thus everyone continued towards the military camp under Li Dan’s arrangement. The only thing that annoyed Ye Huan was that even though he hadn’t expressed any intention of marrying the little princess, she clung to him stubbornly and refused to leave his side—proving once again that ‘women in love are crazy.’
Half an hour later.
Upon returning to Sky Star City’s military camp, everyone was directly arranged in the conference hall. Up until now, Li Dan still hadn’t figured out why soldiers from the Southern Xiongnu Empire suddenly led a cavalry charge against Sky Star City’s defenses. He wanted to hear from Zuo Yi and Ye Huan about what had happened in detail so he could properly reward Weiyang and Ye Huan for their contributions and avoid any unnecessary complications.
After Zuo Yi's detailed explanation, the reason behind the Southern Xiongnu Empire's military action overshadowed the contributions of Ye Huan and Weiyang. Particularly, Ye Huan's rescue of Zuo Yi from the hands of Sixth-Level Expert Han Lin drew everyone's attention. Durei IV also cautiously assessed Ye Huan's professional level.
Upon investigation, Durei IV jumped up from the beast-skin chair prepared for him by Li Dan, disbelief written all over his face as he asked Ye Huan, "Ye Huan, you are already a Fourth-Level Summoner?"
Fourth level...
Hearing Durei IV's words, Gong Weiqi was equally astonished and stood up, trying to gauge Ye Huan's level. He felt an overwhelming shock; if he remembered correctly, during their conversation on the way back, Ye Huan had clearly been at the peak of Third-Rank Summoner strength. How could it be that in such a short time, he had already advanced to Fourth Level?
As a Seventh Level Warrior who was not yet twenty years old, Gong Weiqi understood deeply how difficult it was to progress along the Professional path. After his family was destroyed and he fled the royal capital, he ended up near Northern Liang City, where he was taken in by his current master. He began training at six, passed the Professional physical test at seven, and only became a Fourth-Level Warrior at ten, earning his qualification to graduate.
It took Gong Weiqi three full years to reach Fourth Level. Even then, his master praised him as a rare talent. But how long had it been since Ye Huan became a Summoner? Not even a month!
Just this fact made Gong Weiqi realize how terrifying Ye Huan was. If he didn't deal with him soon, would he still have the ability to kill Ye Huan in two months given this rate of advancement?
Clenching his fists tightly, Gong Weiqi made up his mind that he would take action whenever an opportunity arose; better to act sooner rather than later.
In contrast to him and Durei IV, Weiyang and Zhang Ren appeared much calmer. During this time, they had grown accustomed to Ye Huan's rapid upgrades. After their initial surprise, they fell silent; instead, the little princess wore a proud expression as if Durei IV were praising her.
"Durei IV, I am indeed a Fourth-Level Summoner now."
Ye Huan responded helplessly to Durei IV but couldn't help adding in his heart: 'It's just that I'm no different from a peak Third-Rank Summoner...’
