"This is not something I haven't thought about yet, but something I've been waiting for for sixteen years. The Northern Underworld Continent was built by my father. He ruled for sixteen years; that's already too long for him to live."
For a moment, the room was eerily quiet; neither of them spoke…
On the bustling streets of Chaohua Town, on the South China Sea continent.
Dongfang Yifei strode angrily forward when two masked men in black suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
Dongfang Yifei stopped abruptly, a flash of killing intent crossing his slightly darkened eyes.
He stared gloomily at the two people in front of him.
"Young Master Dongfang, our princess invites you."
"Your princess?" Dongfang Yifei stared sharply at the two people in front of him. Was that princess the woman Ruichen and the others were talking about?
"Lead the way." Dongfang Yifei wanted to see what kind of woman had revealed his secret.
Inside the Julongxuan Restaurant, Baili Yuechan, dressed in red, was noble and aloof, so beautiful that it was hard to look away. On the low table in front of her, various tea sets were laid out, and Baili Yuechan was elegantly serving tea.
As soon as Dongfang Yifei entered, he smelled a faint aroma of tea. Looking up, his eyes were filled with undisguised amazement. It was her! The princess? If he was not mistaken, she should be Princess Baili Yuechan of the Qihe Dynasty.
"So it was you?" Dongfang Yifei was amazed, but his expression immediately changed.
"Palace Master, you've gone to great lengths to find me, young master. What is the matter?"
"Young Master Dongfang, please sit down. Come, try the tea I brewed. I've been brewing this tea since I was a child. This tea is made with a special technique, so that the patterns on the tea soup resemble objects, such as birds, beasts, insects, fish, flowers, and grasses, as delicate as a painting. Wouldn't Young Master Dongfang like to have a taste?" Baili Yuechan said with a smile, placing a cup of tea in front of Dongfang Yifei.
Dongfang Yifei looked down and his eyes flashed with admiration. "Princess, you have excellent skills. What a beautiful painting! Even I, the young master, can't bring myself to eat it." Only then did Dongfang Yifei sit down opposite Baili Yuechan and carefully examine her. She could be said to be the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
"I'm glad Young Master Dongfang likes it." Baili Yuechan smiled brightly, looking at Dongfang Yifei sizing her up, full of confidence in her beauty.
Dongfang Yifei took a small sip of tea and praised, "Princess, you have excellent skills. The green leaves with red edges have a natural aroma and a rich, unique flavor."
Baili Yuechan smiled perfectly, her bright eyes and white teeth, her delicate and beautiful face more beautiful than any flower, making her even more stunning, which instantly stunned Dongfang Yifei.
After a long while, Dongfang Yifei came to his senses and smiled as he praised, "The princess's every smile and frown is truly captivating. Even someone as proud as me is mesmerized by her."
"Young master is too kind." Baili Yuechan smiled shyly, but she was secretly very pleased with herself. What she wanted was to see the amazement in every man's eyes when he saw her, which would greatly boost her confidence.
"Princess, let's get back to the main topic. May I ask what business the princess has with me?"
The four continents each have their own rulers and are not under the control of the Qihe Dynasty. They are simply ambitious and want to merge the continents.
"I saw everything that happened that night. Young Master Dongfang had a sincere heart for Miss Nangong, but Miss Nangong betrayed his feelings. During our journey together, Miss Nangong fawned over the Demon Lord. I just feel sorry for Young Master Dongfang."
"Demon Lord?" Dongfang Yifei murmured softly. So he really was the ruler of the Netherworld Continent, Bei Ming Haotian. He was the Tian'er who held Yan'er all those years ago. He was always elusive, so why was he always by Yan'er's side? And why did the Nangong brothers entrust Yan'er to him so easily? He had been too rushed on the journey and hadn't thought about it carefully. For so many years, he had overlooked Bei Ming Haotian's existence because of the rumors surrounding him...
"Oh! Young Master Dongfang doesn't know the Demon Lord?" Baili Yuechan asked deliberately, her face showing some surprise. Right now, she wasn't in a hurry to know what happened sixteen years ago, but rather to open her heart to Dongfang Yifei. The Eastern Region was the second continent after the Northern Underworld Continent. If she could establish a good relationship with the Dongfang family, it would be of great help to her, Baili Yuechan.
“Princess, how many people in the world can truly see the Demon Lord? This was only the second time I had seen him that day,” Dongfang Yifei said cryptically. Apart from vaguely seeing him once sixteen years ago, this was indeed the first time he had seen him. Moreover, sixteen years ago, he hadn’t really looked at him seriously at all.
"Is that so? It's not impossible for Young Master Dongfang to win Miss Nangong's heart. Women, you know? A little coaxing, a few gifts, a few sweet words—those things are a piece of cake for Young Master Dongfang. And for Miss Nangong's age, she's most susceptible to temptation." Baili Yuechan said casually. She not only wanted to win the Demon Lord's heart, but also to make the four continents submit to her, Baili Yuechan. But for her now, winning the Demon Lord's heart was equivalent to winning half the world. For a woman, the best way is to marry the person who can help her the most. In this way, half of her dream would be achieved.
“Princess, I think you don’t understand Nangong Ziyan enough. I have done everything you have said, but every time, she only feels gratitude, not emotion. She is not the despicable woman you imagine. If she were like other women, I wouldn’t have to worry about her like this.” Dongfang Yifei smiled self-deprecatingly. Could it be that Baili Yuechan was underestimating Nangong Ziyan?
Baili Yuechan furrowed her brows slightly, still maintaining her perfect smile, "It seems that I was wrong. It is Miss Nangong's good fortune that Young Master Dongfang likes her so much. Young Master Dongfang should not give up."
"Of course," Dongfang Yifei said with certainty. Nangong Ziyan could only belong to him, Dongfang Yifei.
"However, there have been many stories about Miss Nangong recently. I wonder if Young Master Dongfang has heard of them? I heard that the boundless sea of flowers on the border of the South China Sea Continent is because of Miss Nangong's birth. After hearing this, I was very curious. Although there are all sorts of strange things in the world, I really find this hard to believe. I also heard that Young Master Dongfang went to the South China Sea Glazed Palace to propose marriage and give betrothal gifts. I couldn't resist my curiosity, which is why I stopped Young Master Dongfang. I wonder if Young Master Dongfang could satisfy my curiosity?"
