But that person, however, looked at the audience in front of him as if he had heard nothing. The indifference in his eyes made her frown deeply.

Just when she was confused about her feelings for him, he remained silent, looking straight ahead and speaking quietly.

"I have suggested before that we might as well make a deal, a deal that involves no feelings but only interests. What do you think?"

Li Yuan's eyes narrowed, and she thought back to when she seemed to have heard him mention it before. However, she was a complete stranger to him at that time, so naturally she couldn't give him a positive answer.

But now it's different. The familiarity between the two of them has been increasing day by day. She can even feel that the reason why he tolerates her in every way is because of the power she has that others do not have.

"You say," Li Yuan pursed her lips and looked at him intently.

"For now, the possibility of us canceling the engagement is basically zero. Of course, even if there is such a possibility, as long as you stay in Prince Kang's mansion for one day, you will have to accept his arrangement. No matter how strong you are, you cannot change it."

Li Yuan nodded. As the saying goes, filial piety is the most important virtue. Even if she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit it.

Especially, she was a member of the royal family, and severing the father-daughter relationship was not as easy as she imagined.

If she really rejected Wei Jie's marriage proposal, I'm afraid the emperor would not let her go.

Although Feng Yan had an imperial edict in her hand that could accomplish anything she wanted, it would be of no benefit to her if she took it out at this time. It might even expose her other identity. She must not lose the big picture for the small one.

So, there is only one final outcome for her: get married!

"Likewise, I can't do that. You know my situation very well. If I give you up, he will send someone else to me in the future. Instead of that, I might as well choose you. You need an identity, and I also need a helper. Do you understand?"

Li Yuan continued to nod, but did not forget to put forward her own conditions, "What can I get from you?"

“Freedom, is that enough?”

Li Yuan's brows were already furrowed, "Divorce?"

"If you need it, I can satisfy all your requirements. You are still young, and you still have time to think. If you don't want to leave, I promise that you will always be my princess."

In other words, if she chooses to leave, he will give her a chance, but if she wants to stay, he will give her the status she deserves and will not let her disgrace herself in terms of her status.

But why did she always feel something was weird?

She really wanted to confirm, if she chose to stay, would she be a princess in name only?

If that's the case, why should she live her life in such a large mansion?

Perhaps thinking of this possibility, Wei Jie took the tea, took a sip, and then said: "If you have the ability to win my heart, you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

If we tame him, will we have offspring far away?

Li Yuan laughed at herself, "Is a divorced woman doomed to have no way out? Why should I hang myself on this tree of yours?"

He laughed softly, and the sound echoed in her ears, making her very uncomfortable.

"Although I really don't want to say it, I must remind you. Do you think anyone will dare to accept you with this king's label attached to you in the future?"

Li Yuan disagreed. She raised her cold eyes and said, "Don't compare me with other women. Do you think I can't live without you men?"

"But you'll be lonely..."

"Your Highness, Phoenix King, do you think it is appropriate to discuss this with a ten-year-old girl like me?"

"Are you sure you look ten years old? Besides, there are some things that I really need to tell you in advance, so that you won't regret it in the future."

"I'm starting to regret it now."

“But you have no way out.”

Li Yuan gritted her teeth, "What do you mean?"

Wei Jie continued to sip his tea without even raising his eyelids, "Because I must cooperate with you, otherwise, I will destroy you at all costs!"

Li Yuan's body was startled and she looked up at him. Although his voice was faint, she could hear his usual strong style.

Although she saved him many times these times, it does not mean that this man has no strength. On the contrary, after she freed him from the turbulence, his strength will be even more terrifying. As long as he wants, she may have nowhere to hide in the Four Directions Continent.

That was definitely not the result she wanted.

But if she were to cooperate with him in this way, wouldn't it be a bit too frustrating?

I thought I had escaped far away, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still couldn't escape such a fate.

Li Hongtao, I cannot stand against you.

In the end, helpless Li Yuan could only pour all her hatred on Li Hongtao.

Watching someone gnashing his teeth as he agreed to the deal, Wei Jie's mouth corners raised slightly, revealing a bit of good mood.

Li Yuan became more and more indignant after seeing this.

Immediately, his eyes turned fierce, and he looked at him coldly: "Since you and I are not married, then the respected Phoenix King, can you pay for me?"

Wei Jie glanced at the audience and knew that she was resentful. Based on the principle of peaceful coexistence, he waved his hand casually: "Please do as you please."

Li Yuan didn't expect him to agree so readily. She stared at him suspiciously and said, "I'm not kidding."

"This king never jokes, and he has no time for it."

Li Yuan laughed and slapped the table, "You said it, just don't feel bad in the end."

Wei Jie lightly tapped the tea lid, still nonchalantly. Obviously, her words had no effect on him at all.

Li Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that she was about to marry a wealthy and well-off husband?

While the two were arguing, three items had already been auctioned off: two swords and a medicinal ingredient for refining medicine, both of which were of little use to her.

"The item that will be auctioned next is a must-have item for traveling as a monk - a solar-powered flashlight. It does not require a fire starter. Just push the mechanism gently and it will emit light in the dark night. The starting price is five hundred taels of silver."

After seeing the waiter demonstrate the function, everyone in the audience became excited.

"This thing is good. I'll give you six hundred taels."

"I'll give you seven hundred taels."

…

As the price continued to rise, Li Yuan stared at the silver flashlight. What did she just hear?

Solar energy?

Is there still solar energy in the Sifang Continent?

My God, what kind of time and space did she travel to?

Isn't this layer upon layer of surprises too much?

How could this thing appear in ancient times?

Madam, this is too exaggerated!

"Two thousand taels!" As soon as this voice came out, Li Yuan subconsciously looked towards the room next to them, and it was Qingchen.

As soon as Qingchen made his move, there was a moment of silence downstairs. When everyone was considering whether it was worth spending two thousand taels to buy such a strange thing, Hongxie's voice came over casually.

"Three thousand taels."

Li Yuan looked at the flashlight with deep thoughts, and his mind was filled with thoughts about how such an item could appear here.

However, before she could catch her breath, the flashlight over there had been bought by Hong Xie for five thousand taels. At the same time, the next auction item also made its grand debut.

"The next thing to auction is a magical pen set. This kind of pen does not need to be ground for ink. Just lightly swipe and the ink will appear on the paper. There are 100 pens in a set. The starting price is 300 taels. Let's start."

Li Yuan: ...

Holy shit, there are even gel pens now? Does that mean there are fountain pens and pencils too?

"Among the 100 pens, there are gel pens, fountain pens, and pencils. Although fountain pens also need ink, the ink is completely different from the ink we usually use. If you are interested, you can come up and try it."

Li Yuan's brain twitched instinctively, and he stood up with a bang, "No, I have to go see who the mayor of this city that never sleeps is."

Other auctions either sold rare treasures, or refined medicines, refined weapons, and even the spirit cores and eggs of magical beasts and spirit animals could be auctioned, but what was going on with this auction?

These products simply cannot appear on this continent. No, something is very wrong!

"It's too early to go and see it now. Let's wait and see!"

Compared with Li Yuan's excitement, Wei Jie was extremely bored. It was obvious that even if those were modern productions, they did not arouse much interest in him.

Li Yuan was afraid that she would miss something by leaving, so she sat down reluctantly. However, the various items that were auctioned next made her heart rise to her throat.

Four-piece bedding sets, Transformers toy sets, tent sets, various seasonings, various dry goods, various accessories, and finally, even cosmetics came out.

Li Yuan couldn't help but roll her eyes to the sky. Damn, are they planning to move the supermarket here?
