Chapter 868: Forced relationships are never sweet.
The two demon guards with human bodies and fish tails standing at the entrance of the main hall immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing Rongxi appear and loudly proclaimed, "Greetings, Lord!"
Rongxi waved her hand, indicating that there was no need for formalities. The two guards looked up and happened to see the young girl following behind Rongxi. Their expressions turned strange.
Who is this...?
Isn't the one engaged to His Highness the Lady Yunji of the Hidden Clan?!
Ye Fei walked into the hall without looking to the side. The huge main hall had several large tables, each filled with demons.
The appearance of Rongxi caused all the demons present to murmur amongst themselves, and some even pointed at Yefei, who was walking behind Rongxi, with strange expressions.
Mo Long and Yao Shuang, who were talking to an old man in golden robes, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their prince arrive late: "Your Highness, you've finally arrived..."
Mo Long and Yao Shuang went to greet them one after the other. When they saw that there was a young girl following behind their prince, their relaxed nerves tensed up again instantly: "Your Highness?!"
Isn't this the human girl who appeared at the third barrier gate earlier?!
How did she get here?!
Rongxi smiled slightly at his two attendants. Just then, the old man in the golden robe walked over, his resolute face showing deep dissatisfaction: "Your Highness has finally arrived. We old bones have been waiting for so long!"
Rongxi said with a smile, "I'm really sorry to have kept the clan leader waiting."
The old man in the golden robe was the patriarch of the Hidden God Clan. He snorted and turned his sharp gaze to Ye Fei: "Is it because of this ordinary woman that Your Highness did not attend this engagement banquet?"
“The clan leader should be well aware that Miss Yunji and I dislike each other. Now that Miss Yunji is not present, I’m afraid she is also dissatisfied with this banquet. In that case, let’s just say it outright.”
The clan chief of Shenyin narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Regarding the matter of Yun Ji's escape, I will definitely pay a visit after the wedding banquet to express my apologies. But Your Highness should not forget that the engagement between the Binglan Evil Phoenix Clan and the Shenyin Clan was decided by Your Highness's ancestors, and it is not something Your Highness can refuse on your own."
Rongxi let out a soft "oh," turned around, gave Ye Fei a gentle smile, and then put his arm around her shoulder, bringing her a little closer to him.
Ye Fei's hands, hidden within her crimson sleeves, involuntarily clenched into fists!
The unfamiliar male presence wafted towards her, making Ye Fei feel extremely uncomfortable.
But in order to leave the Ice Palace, she ultimately held back.
"Although we cannot disobey our ancestors' decisions, this polar ice zone is now my territory, not my ancestors' territory."
Stubborn old ideas will only bring unrest to the Ice Phoenix Clan and the Hidden God Clan, forcing them to watch as the descendants of our two races grow resentful of each other because of an engagement that should never have existed. Is this what our ancestors wanted to see?
Rongxi's grip on Ye Fei's hand tightened slightly, a carefree smile playing on his handsome, wicked face: "Clan leader, as you can see, my love and I are as strong as gold and as deep as the sea. I'm afraid Miss Yunji also has someone else in her heart. Forced love is never sweet, clan leader, what do you think?"
The clan leader trembled with rage, his demonic eyes wide with fury: "How can the ancestor's decision be disobeyed so easily! Rongxi! Don't go too far!"
Being addressed by her given name directly did not displease Rongxi, who remained unperturbed: "Excessive? What's excessive about it? I, Rongxi, only wish to be engaged and married to the one I love. What's wrong with that?"
"Well said!"
Just then, a clear voice came from outside the hall. A beautiful woman in a light gold robe walked slowly in, accompanied by a handsome man in white.
Rongxi was quite surprised that Yunji had actually come.
