Chapter 564 No matter how ugly

Chen Yan looked at him indifferently, "Have you fulfilled your engagement with her?"

"No." Shen Ce quickly denied it. He lowered his eyes and said, "I am still innocent."

"I didn't understand why she wanted to publicize her identity, but now I understand that she is fake. She wants to use this identity to get close to me and the old officials of the Tianzhou Dynasty, and then gain resources, power and prestige from it."

"Old minister?" Chen Yan's eyes moved slightly.

Shen Ce met her gaze and realized that she really didn't care whether she would be deceived or not, and he couldn't help feeling disappointed.

He is obviously her fiancé...

No, he's just one of the candidates for the Emperor's husband.

As a candidate for the emperor's husband, he also had the right to choose not to become the eldest princess's husband. As long as he had sex with another woman, the cinnabar mark on his collarbone would fade away, and from then on, his chastity would have nothing to do with the eldest princess, and he could marry and have children.

But if he marries the eldest princess, the cinnabar mark on his collarbone will not disappear.

Unless you lose your virginity.

The Tianzhou Dynasty attaches great importance to chastity. Whether male or female, Taoist couples must belong to each other wholeheartedly. Therefore, Shen Ce has been waiting for Shen Yan's arrival.

Chen Ce still remembered that there were thirteen people who were selected as the candidate husbands for the eldest princess Chen Ke. However, time flies, and now four of the candidate husbands have passed away, three have married and had children, and one has found his beloved; as for the others, they are nowhere to be found.

Shen Ce stared deeply at the Shen Yan in front of him.

He had been waiting for her and their return.

Thinking back to the beginning, he was just a humble slave, but his fate changed because of a helping hand from His Majesty. Later, because of a sentence from the Grand Master: "This child's fate is suitable for Your Highness, and he should be included as one of the candidates for the Emperor's husband", his identity and status changed dramatically. From then on, he became the object of everyone's envy.

Chen Ce looked at Chen Yan and said respectfully, "Yes, Your Highness. Your Highness, do you want to see them? They are loyal to you and the entire Tianzhou royal family. They left the Changming Realm and came to the Dark Realm because they heard that you were here."

Suddenly, Shen Ce stood up with a guilty look, then came to Chen Yan's knees, knelt down, and said in a heavy tone: "It was Shen Ce who made a mistake in judgment and trusted that woman, allowing her to impersonate you for more than 30 years. Now, the old ministers all believe her very much. If I expose her identity now, I am afraid I will not be able to convince them. Therefore, Shen Ce begs Your Highness to take back his identity personally."

Chen Yan did not answer immediately, obviously thinking.

If she went to see her old ministers, she would definitely spend a lot of time in the dark world.

It turned out that the fake princess had been impersonating her for more than thirty years.

"The old minister wants to see you." Chen Yan said, "But before you meet me, you have to tell me about their background and what kind of person is the woman who pretended to be me?"

Shen Ce’s heart moved when he heard this.

He bowed his head and responded, "Yes, Your Highness, Shen Ceding will tell you everything he knows and will tell you everything he knows."

…

An hour passed after the two finished their chat.

Chen Yan stood up and was about to leave when she was stopped by Chen Ce.

He lowered his voice and reminded: "Your Highness, be careful of that man."

That man? Feng Xingyao?

Chen Yan turned her head and glanced at him, "Why should we be careful of him?"

Shen Ce said: "He is very dangerous and not suitable for Your Highness."

"I know what's going on." Chen Yan said calmly.

Shen Ce choked slightly, feeling a little depressed.

Chen Yan opened the door and the person who came into view was Feng Xingyao.

Feng Xingyao seemed not to hear what Shen Ce had said to him, and reached out to Shen Yan.

Chen Yan naturally raised her hand and placed it on his strong and powerful palm.

The two left side by side.

"Are you tired?" he asked softly on the way.

"What's so tiring about this?" Chen Yan shook her head. "You were waiting for me outside the door just now?"

"Um."

Hearing this, Chen Yan held his hand a little tighter.

"I only talk about business with him, not love."

Feng Xingyao lowered his eyes and smiled, "I know."

Chen Yan was dazzled by his smile and said, "I have something to tell you. I will go to District 9 with Chen Ce to meet old officials and deal with those who pretend to be me."

Feng Xingyao paused for a moment, he reached out and stroked Chen Yan's cheek, raised his eyebrows and said, "It just so happens that I'm going to District 9 next."

"Are we destined to be together?"

Chen Yan heard this and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously, and she nodded.

"yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his lips down, imprinting them on Shen Yan's eyebrows.

This time, Chen Yan did not retreat or resist.

After Feng Xingyao kissed her gently, he stroked her eyebrows with his fingertips and couldn't help but say, "Your eyebrows and eyes are so beautiful."

Chen Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this.

No wonder he always likes to kiss his own eyebrows.

At this point, she remembered something and asked, "When can I see your true self?"

This made Feng Xingyao's smile freeze instantly. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "When do you want to see it?"

Chen Yan smiled and said, “Go back to the room and take a look.”

"Now?"

"Yeah." She nodded in agreement.

Seeing that his reaction was a little unnatural, she asked, "Is your true form very ugly?"

"Of course not." Feng Xingyao denied it immediately and remained silent for a moment. He just felt that his real body was not mighty and domineering enough.

Chen Yan comforted softly: "It's okay, no matter how ugly it is, I won't care."

Feng Xingyao: "..."

"If you are ready, let me see it again." Chen Yan added considerately.

Feng Xingyao was extremely depressed.

Chen Yan asked, "I heard that the Ninth District is extremely dangerous. Are you planning to go to the Ninth District this time because there is also black water there?"

Feng Xingyao nodded: "Yes, a few days ago, there was news that there was also black water in the ninth district."

At this point, he looked at Chen Yan seriously and said, "Your cultivation is still low. After entering the Ninth District, I will stay with you as much as possible. If I am not here, Elder Qiu will stay by your side to protect you."

"Mr. Qiu?"

At this time, Feng Xingyao looked in a certain direction.

In a flash, an old man in white appeared not far away. There were obvious scales on his cheeks. He smiled and bowed to Chen Yan.

"Ms. Shen, my name is Qiu Yue."

"Mr. Qiu." Chen Yan was slightly surprised that she had not noticed his existence. She thought that his strength must have been much higher than hers. She smiled and nodded slightly at him.

Mr. Qiu smiled.

“From now on, Miss Shen can tell me anything you need.”

"good."

"I will take my leave first." Upon hearing this, Mr. Qiu raised his hand and bowed.

In the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.

Chen Yan took in this scene, deep in thought.

Feng Xingyao noticed her strangeness and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

She looked up and asked, "Old Qiu is also a demon, right?"
