Lu Chen gently squeezed it. He had to admit that the hands of cultivators felt exceptionally different to the touch—soft yet powerful.
"Little princess, where are you going?"
Lu Chen asked curiously.
"Still calling me little princess? My name is Nie Qing, you know how to address me, right?"
Nie Qing seemed to have accepted reality. Now, he was the only one left in the martial arts contest to choose a husband, and he was the only one to be chosen.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "I know, Little Qingqing!"
"Remove the 'small'!"
Nie Qing glared at him fiercely. That "Little Qingqing" made her scalp tingle and she felt incredibly embarrassed.
"Okay, Qingqing, no problem, Qingqing, when are we going to consummate our marriage?" Lu Chen touched her hand, but his words became increasingly outrageous.
"Shut up!"
Nie Qing was speechless. This guy was just too shameless.
But for some reason, she just couldn't get angry. If it were before, she would have already lost her temper.
"Fine, we won't tell you then. Where are we going now?"
"Go see your father!"
Nie Qing's expression turned serious.
Lu Chen asked curiously, "Lord City Lord?"
According to the memories retrieved by the Heavenly Demon Soul Searching Technique, the Lord of Azure Dragon City was an extraordinary figure, whose cultivation was said to have reached the star system level, making him extremely powerful.
However, Lu Chen didn't know what kind of person this city lord was. Would he make things difficult for him if he actually met him later?
There's also the issue of identity.
Lu Chen felt a little worried.
"What's wrong?"
Nie Qing clearly sensed the unusual behavior of the people around her.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little nervous. I hope your father won't make things difficult for me."
Nie Qing smiled.
Are you scared?
"Hmph, what do I have to be afraid of?"
Lu Chen straightened his chest, swaggered in, and took the lead into the palace in front of him, striding forward.
Nie Qing was stunned for a moment, then quickly chased after him.
What's your rush?
Nie Qing immediately stopped him, slowed his pace, and then called out loudly, "Father!"
"Come in!"
A majestic voice came from inside.
Lu Chen's expression turned serious. Hearing this voice, he felt a kind of oppressive authority, an aura cultivated by those who have been in high positions for many years.
Nie Qing then led Lu Chen into the palace.
Lu Chen looked up and saw a middle-aged man sitting above him, looking at him with a calm expression.
Their eyes met.
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, then decided it wasn't wise to be too arrogant. He slowly lowered his head and said, "I am Lu Chen, paying my respects to the City Lord!"
Nie Bufan, the city lord of Qinglong City, focused his gaze on Lu Chen. He looked him over from left to right, but couldn't discern anything special about him.
He knew, of course, that his youngest daughter was holding a martial arts contest to choose a husband, and that he had to choose her personally, with no one else allowed to interfere.
Nie Qing initially disagreed with this matter.
However, the thought that his youngest daughter seemed to have no interest in men made him a little anxious, so he had no choice but to resort to this method: a martial arts contest to find a husband.
Now, seeing that Nie Qing had actually chosen a man, he was genuinely a little surprised.
Nie Bufan even wondered if the person in front of him possessed some kind of magic. How could he have changed Nie Qing, this wooden man, so easily?
"Lu Chen? Where did you come from?"
Nie Bufan stared at Lu Chen.
Red Moon Star has no demonic beasts, nor does it have any war between humans and demons, but internal strife is always present.
The major cities also infiltrated each other, vying for power and profit.
The position of city lord is not necessarily secure.
Therefore, sometimes we have to be on guard.
Lu Chen had already prepared his answer, saying, "I am just a wandering cultivator, and I don't know where I came from. I heard that the little princess of the Azure Dragon City Lord's Mansion is holding a martial arts contest to find a husband, so I came!"
Lu Chen spoke frankly and openly, without any sign of nervousness.
Nie Bufan stared at him for a long time, and seeing that the man was neither humble nor arrogant, he nodded in satisfaction. Then he looked at Nie Qing, who was also extremely calm at the moment.
"You like it?"
Nie Bufan asked.
Nie Qing glanced at Lu Chen beside her subconsciously, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, saying, "Mm!"
Lu Chen was completely dumbfounded.
You've already fallen for him? No way, do I really have that much charm?
Nie Bufan nodded and said, "If you like it, that's fine. When are you going to have the wedding?"
"Let's wait a little longer!"
Nie Qing seemed to have a rather cold relationship with his father, speaking in a formal and rigid manner, as if they weren't very close.
"Okay, you guys go ahead!"
Nie Bufan waved his hand and didn't look at the two of them again.
Nie Qing seemed to have expected this, and without saying anything more, he turned around and left.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen's carefully prepared draft was completely ruined. He had thought that meeting his future father-in-law would be very troublesome and that he would have to suffer a lot.
But unexpectedly, just by giving a name, that was it.
"nailed it?"
Lu Chen was stunned. They were already fast-forwarding to the wedding?
Now, Lu Chen was a little flustered, because he had never actually held a wedding before.
Back on Yanhuang Star, he had no such awareness, and the women around him had never made such a request. But things are different now. After all, she is the daughter of the Lord of Qinglong City. It's impossible for her to just live with him without any explanation.
Even the city lord has his pride.
