Chapter 867: The Breath of the Banyan Tree 3
Ye Fei did not sheathe the Holy Dragon Blood-Weeping Spear. She still harbored hostility towards the extremely alluring man before her. "Since you dislike each other so much, why hold this banquet?"
"Ah... I didn't organize this."
Rongxi sighed and spread his hands innocently, saying, "My ancestors were on good terms with the Hidden God Clan. Therefore, before they passed away, they issued an ancestral decree that if any female is born in the Hidden God Clan, she will marry me. So, this engagement banquet is an inviolable rule."
Ye Fei gave an "oh" and casually said, "So you're going against the ancestors' decision? Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?"
"Divine retribution? I am the king, I am heaven itself!"
Rongxi's brows furrowed, and a wave of malevolent energy swept across his body: "It's time for a descendant to personally dispel the old ideas of our ancestors! I was born free, and who I marry in the future is entirely up to me!"
Ye Fei glanced at Rong Xi a few more times, somewhat surprised.
Unexpectedly, this ruler of the polar ice zone has quite a unique personality.
Ye Fei didn't want to waste any more words. She needed to hurry up and find the Deep Sea Emperor Jiao. If she could leave just by pretending and cooperating, then she was willing.
Nothing is more important than obtaining the Deep Sea Emperor Dragon Beast Pill.
"Okay, I promise you." Ye Fei didn't think for long and agreed readily.
Rongxi asked in surprise, "Huh? You agreed so quickly?"
Ye Fei said calmly, "I have important matters to attend to. Let's finish this quickly."
Rongxi looked at Yefei meaningfully, not expecting her to be so flexible and adaptable, which changed his perception of her as a human: "Don't you care about your reputation? Don't you human women care about that?"
"Can fame feed you?" Ye Fei retorted.
"..."
He choked for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha...you little girl are really funny!"
Ye Fei said coldly, "But before that, I have one request that you must comply with."
Rongxi finished laughing, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and that deep-seated, wicked aura resurfaced: "Oh? What are your requirements?"
"You can't do anything too outrageous or excessive to me."
"Didn't you say you didn't care about your reputation?"
Ye Fei's face hardened, and her tone became serious: "This has nothing to do with reputation. Intimate matters should be reserved for those closest to us."
"We are just strangers who met by chance, not even friends. We are just pretending for the Hidden God Clan. There is no need to go to such lengths."
Rongxi chuckled and didn't refuse: "Okay, I agree too."
Ye Fei's eyes darkened as she saw his frivolous smile: "I don't believe you. You have to swear an oath, an oath in the name of your clan!"
Rongxi: "..."
No, does he just seem so unreliable and untrustworthy?
Left with no other choice, Rongxi resigned himself to his fate and swore, "Alright, alright, I swear in the name of the Ice Phoenix Clan that I will never do anything out of line to you—are you satisfied now?"
Ice Phoenix? So this was his true form...
Ye Fei secretly pursed her lips. This guy looked sinister and she thought he was a fox, but she didn't expect him to be a phoenix.
...
Rongxi led Yefei away from the sea prison and arrived at the main hall where the engagement banquet was being held.
Ye Fei looked up at the magnificent ice crystal palace before her. Rong Xi glanced at her and chuckled, "Stunned? Isn't my Ice Palace spectacular?"
"good."
"Such a casual answer. Have you ever seen anything more magnificent than my Ice Palace?"
"..."
You know what, it's true.
Her Dragon Palace and the Demon Palace in the Demon Realm are no less impressive than the Ice Palace.
Ye Fei remained silent, simply following Rong Xi into the main hall of the Ice Wave Palace.
