"Ning'er, why are you doing this to yourself?"
The White Emperor was heartbroken. He couldn't understand why Xuan Qianning was still so devoted to him even though Leng Ye had spoken so resolutely.
Having strong convictions is not necessarily a bad thing.
But how can you force matters of the heart?
"I just want to stay by my husband's side, is that not allowed?" Xuan Qian looked at Bai Di, whose face showed difficulty, with tears in her eyes and resentment in her words.
"Your marriage is a matter for you to decide. Whatever decision you make, I will support you."
The White Emperor was truly heartbroken by Xuan Qianning's questioning.
He did indeed favor Xuan Fengqian, but he never mistreated Xuan Qianning.
To him, both the palm and the back of his hand are his flesh and blood.
He was unwilling to let Xuan Fengqian follow Leng Ye without a proper status, and he also couldn't bear to watch Xuan Qianning be trapped in a loveless marriage.
Unfortunately, Xuan Qianning was convinced that he was biased and ignored all his concern.
Knowing Xuan Qianning's feelings, Leng Ye didn't pressure her. He gently helped her up from her kneeling position and said softly, "You have always had the autonomy in your hands. There's no need to worry about losing it."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency."
Xuan Qianning nodded slightly and responded softly.
In fact, that was exactly what she wanted to hear from Leng Ye.
She knew that Leng Ye would never have only one woman, so for now, all she wanted was to keep her position as the Empress.
As for the minor details, she will have plenty of energy to deal with them in the future.
Fu Chen was extremely anxious and tried his best to persuade Xuan Fengqian: "Princess, do you really want to stay in Jiuyou as his concubine?"
"Who said I wanted to stay in the Nine Netherworld? The wedding night is real, but who in the Six Realms doesn't know that the Demon Lord's lawfully wedded wife is my sister? Let bygones be bygones."
Xuan Feng thought to herself that Leng Ye only wanted to humiliate her and make her lose face in public.
If she really forced him to marry her, he would definitely refuse.
Since that was the case, she granted his wish and obediently became a disgraced abandoned woman.
She felt it was worth trading her reputation for freedom.
"Xuan Fengqian, tell me, how do you plan to get through this? You slept with me, and you think you can just run away?" Leng Ye clearly didn't want to let her go easily and refused to budge.
What do you want?
"What else can I do? She's already married into the family, so I can only treat her like a servant."
"Demon Lord, you don't need to wrong yourself like this," Xuan Fengqian said through gritted teeth.
"You'd better not test my patience. Otherwise, all I'll be keeping is your memorial tablet." Leng Ye whispered in Xuan Fengqian's ear.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Fengqian immediately fell silent.
She knew all too well that with Leng Ye's temperament, he was truly capable of doing something so heinous.
Left with no other choice, they had to compromise.
The White Emperor didn't hear what Leng Ye whispered to Xuan Fengqian, assuming they were just flirting. He softened his tone and said very seriously, "Leng Ye, you must remember this: my daughters will never be concubines. Now that you've married them, don't even think about having affairs outside."
Leng Ye had no intention of getting involved with women; he had absolutely no interest in those alluring and seductive women right now.
However, being lectured by Bai Di like a dog still greatly displeased him.
He was about to retort when he saw Xuan Fengqian's lifeless expression, which made him even more upset.
He had originally intended to make her a concubine without any title or status, but the words that came out of his mouth completely changed his tone: "I will certainly not mistreat them."
Xuan Qianning's face darkened, and she felt increasingly uncertain.
Now that she has become the empress, even if Xuan Fengqian were to marry into the family, she could only be a concubine.
Judging from Bai Di's words, could it be that he wanted Xuan Fengqian to be on equal footing with her?
This won't do!
She had finally managed to put Xuan Fengqian under her feet, how could she let it all go to waste because of Bai Di's words?
"Your Excellency..."
Xuan Qianning, with her beautiful face, slowly raised her eyes and looked at Leng Ye with deep affection. She wanted to ask him in person who was the master of Ziyou Palace, but with so many eyes watching, she couldn't bring herself to ask.
"What's wrong?" Leng Ye asked slowly.
He understood Xuan Qianning's worries, so he patiently explained, "Don't worry, Ziyou Palace has only ever had you as its mistress."
"That shallow..."
“Ning’er is kind-hearted and always thinking of others. You don’t need to worry about her; I will take care of everything.” Leng Ye dismissed Xuan Qianning with just a few words.
Xuan Qianning was flattered by his "kind-hearted" label and couldn't say anything more.
Talking too much will only make people dislike you.
Furthermore, if the White Emperor were to discover her intentions, it would be a loss for her.
Leng Ye, too lazy to deal with Bai Di and the others, lightly put one arm around Xuan Qianning's shoulder and tightly held Xuan Fengqian's slender waist with the other, and said coldly, "If you have nothing else to do, please leave Jiuyou as soon as possible. Jiuyou is full of evil energy, and staying there for too long will inevitably damage your pure immortal bodies."
The White Emperor said, "The world only knows that you married Ning'er, but they don't know that Qianqian also married into the Nine Netherworld. You must hold a wedding for her, otherwise, she will be ridiculed by the Six Realms."
Leng Ye was thoroughly annoyed by the incessant chatter of the White Emperor and wished he could throw him out of the Nine Netherworld.
He was about to refuse when Xuan Fengqian spoke first, "There's no need for a wedding. Whether the world knows or not isn't that important."
"How can this be?"
The Crimson Emperor waved his hands repeatedly and said solemnly, "A fairy daughter must not become a laughing stock in the Six Realms."
Leng Ye was not used to Xuan Fengqian being so obedient and sensible, and suddenly remembered everything she had suffered in the Nine Nether Demon Prison.
Perhaps because of the deep-seated guilt in his heart, he actually took the initiative to agree, "You can decide on the wedding date."
The White Emperor nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "In that case, Qianqian must return to the Immortal Realm with me first. Since she is not yet married, she should naturally stay in her boudoir."
Leng Ye's face was ashen; he had a feeling that he had been tricked by Bai Di.
He had intended to refuse to release her, but when he saw Xuan Fengqian's suddenly bright eyes, he felt a pang of pity.
That's all.
If she wants to go back, let her go back and stay for a few days.
Anyway, they are engaged, and she will be his sooner or later.
"Xuan Fengqian, you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to mess around behind my back, you know the consequences."
Leng Ye coldly warned Xuan Fengqian, and as soon as he finished speaking, he irritably threw off his clothes and left.
The reason he left in such a hurry was simply because he was worried that he might change his mind at the last minute and refuse to let her go.
