Chapter 49 Paying Back



Zuan was somewhat bewildered. He had many female confidantes around him. If he married one of them but not another, it would be too much to show favoritism.

"Hmm? What, you don't want to?" Seeing his reaction, the Great Elf King's face immediately darkened.

"How could that be? Father-in-law, you've misunderstood," Zu An immediately said with a smile. "It's just that happiness came too suddenly. Before, Father-in-law didn't want me to call you that too affectionately."

The Great Elf King's breath hitched. It seemed that the first time they met, the man called him "father-in-law," and it was he who coldly told him to call him "uncle." He had truly shot himself in the foot.

He coughed lightly: "So you agree?"

"Of course! It would be my honor to marry Xue'er," Zu'an replied decisively. He couldn't hesitate on this kind of question; he had to agree first.

Of course, this was his true feeling. Although he and Xue'er had been separated for a long time, their feelings for each other remained deep. In addition, given their shared destiny, how could he possibly let her down?

Upon hearing his words, Xue'er's eyes sparkled with excitement, her delicate face filled with shyness and joy. Before, she could affectionately hold Zu'an's arm, but now she was too shy to look at him any longer.

The Great Elf King's expression softened slightly, and he suddenly felt that the ordinary-looking man in front of him seemed to be a little bit handsome.

Zuan then said, "However, Queen Medusa and I have also made a vow of eternal love, and I cannot betray her. Perhaps we will get married together in the future."

He thought he might as well take this opportunity to marry Yu Yanluo as well. Since Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue had left, he didn't need to worry about them. As for the Little Demon Queen, her identity meant that their relationship could not be made public.

Anyway, this is a wedding held in the capacity of the regent, so it doesn't matter if word gets back to the human race. What does the wedding of the demon regent have to do with my Great Ji Bo?

"Queen Medusa?" The Great Elf King frowned. "Her looks are so-so. Having her as a concubine wouldn't be an insult to the dignity of our Elven race."

"Father~" Qiao Xueying tugged at his sleeve with some concern.

Zuan then spoke up: "Father-in-law, you may have misunderstood. I did not invite Queen Medusa to be my concubine."

The Great Elf King was immediately enraged: "What, do you expect us to make our elven princess a concubine?"

The Great Elf King's rage has increased by 666+666+666...

"That's not what I meant..." Zuan was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Hmph, you brat, do you think I wouldn't dare to kill someone?" the Great Elf King said coldly, but then he immediately remembered how easily the other party had killed several Grandmasters, and his confidence suddenly waned. "Even if I can't do it alone, our Elf race still has many experts like me."

Zuan explained, "Father-in-law, you misunderstand. I didn't mean to make Queen Medusa or Xue'er either my concubines. It's just that we don't have many rules in our family. We don't distinguish between seniority and juniority; they are all wives."

"Heh," the Great Elf King sneered, "You're just daydreaming. Even the Demon Emperor and the Human Emperor only have one Empress; the others are concubines, or more accurately, secondary consorts. Do you think you're more powerful than them?"

“They just don’t realize it, that doesn’t mean they can’t do it,” Zuan said sincerely. “Whether you believe it or not, Father-in-law, this is truly my opinion.”

"Nonsense." The Great Elf King felt that what he said was too heretical and was about to say something more, but was stopped by Qiao Xueying, who was standing to the side. "Father, I am still young, these things are not urgent."

The Great Elf King was about to fly into a rage, but quickly muttered to himself, "No, no, anger damages the liver and will easily cause my skin to become dull and blemished..."

He took a few deep breaths before saying to Zuan, "Think it over carefully. I don't want to hear those childish words again."

Without waiting for Qiao Xueying's objection, he pulled her away.

He only let go of his daughter after they had walked a distance. Qiao Xueying pouted and said, "Daddy, why did you separate us?"

"Silly girl, do you know that giving money away never ends well?" The Great Elf King looked at his daughter with some anger at her lack of self-control.

“Who said I was paying for this? Look, Brother Zu even gave me some nice things.” Qiao Xueying held out her hand to show him.

Seeing the string of red things in her hand, the Great Elf King's face twitched: "You've been bribed with just a string of candied hawthorns?"

For a moment, he even wondered if the girl had been switched at birth during the war.

Of course, he never suspected that the child's mother had done anything to betray him. After all, he was so handsome, how could any woman possibly abandon him for another man?

Qiao Xueying blushed and couldn't help but exclaim, "Look at the ring! Look at the ring!"

The Great Elf King then noticed the ring on her finger and realized he had misunderstood: "Hmph, this ring is crudely designed, without any exquisite patterns, it's really ugly, how could you even notice it... wait, is this a Heavenly Rank weapon?"

As the Great Elf King, he naturally possessed exceptional knowledge and quickly recognized him.

"Yes, this thing can be used to fight or shrink. My great-uncle gave it to me for self-defense, and he specially made it into the shape of a ring, which shows he put a lot of thought into it." Qiao Xueying gently stroked the ring, her face full of happiness.

"Hmph, you're so easily swayed by a mere Heavenly Rank weapon, how pathetic!" Despite the Great Elf King's words, his mood improved considerably. Heavenly Rank weapons were not rare items for the Great Elf King's palace, but they were still considered precious. Moreover, there were different levels among Heavenly Rank weapons. One with such an aura that could freely change was clearly a top-grade Heavenly Rank weapon.

That kid isn't entirely heartless.

"Come back with me and stay put. Girls who are too proactive will be at a disadvantage in a relationship," the Great Elf King earnestly advised.
