Covering the Sky: I, Wang Teng, truly lack the bearing of an emperor.

Chapter 85 It feels like everyone in the entire world of "Covering the Sky" wants me to marry Ji Ziyue.

"What?" Wang Teng was stunned.

He seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

"I'm saying, do you want a wife? If you do, I can snatch that girl from the Ji family and force her to marry you, which will further strengthen your relationship with the Ji family," the Peacock King said.

Originally, he only brought up this idea on a whim.

But now, the more he thinks about it, the more reliable it seems!
Ji Ziyue is the jewel of the Ji family, the younger sister of the divine body Ji Haoyue, and is loved by everyone in the Ji family!

If I were to force Ji Ziyue to marry Wang Teng, even if they were well-matched, the entire Ji family would likely go crazy.

After all, Ji Ziyue is a core member of the Ji family. How can her fate be forcibly interfered with by others?
Even if the Ji family gained the upper hand, they still had to show their anger and pay a huge price to hunt him down.

The thought of the Ji family head possibly gaining an advantage while having to feign anger made the Peacock King unable to resist breaking into a bright smile.

The Peacock King was laughing. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, his laughter was exceptionally radiant, his hair flying in the wind. He laughed heartily, as if he could see the complex expression on the face of the Ji family patriarch when he faced him.

Wang Teng couldn't laugh.

He's only in his teens, and he's so damn tired!
After much difficulty, he managed to appease the Ji family, even saying things that might offend the head of the Ji family.

As a result, for some unknown reason, the Peacock King suddenly wanted to forcefully match him with Ji Ziyue.
"You want to kill me? Just say so. I can use Zisha clay, jump into the Forbidden Land of Desolation, and volunteer to be the Ruthless Great Emperor's toy. There's no need to do this to me!"

Wang Teng's mind was racing, but his face remained expressionless.

"Xiao Wang, how does it feel? Isn't it exciting? That's the jewel of the Ji family, the younger sister of a divine being! Aren't you so excited you can't even speak?"

Seeing Wang Teng's expressionless and motionless face, the Peacock King thought that Wang Teng was too excited, so he smiled and patted Wang Teng's shoulder, trying to bring Wang Teng back to his senses and share his joy with him.

"Senior Peacock King, this matter is not worth getting excited about at all," Wang Teng said expressionlessly.

His heart seemed to be dead.

If he had known that the Peacock King would make such a request, he should have punched Ji Haoyue twice back then, thus parting ways with the Ji family in this way.

"Isn't it something to get excited about?" The Peacock King's smile faded slightly as he told Wang Teng his thoughts. Then, with a bright smile, he continued, "Think about how distressed the Ji family head must have been back then. He had to hide his joy and, in order to protect the Ji family's reputation, he had to pay a huge price to hunt me down. Isn't that interesting?"

The Peacock King had a bright smile and a carefree, unrestrained demeanor, like a spoiled brat.

People like this in the Beiyuan Wang family are always invited to sit in the Justice Hall...

"Not interested," Wang Teng shook his head and refused.

"Not interested?" The Peacock King was taken aback. "Kid, don't you know that little girl Ji Ziyue's physique is even rarer than a divine physique? Marrying her will greatly benefit your future cultivation!"

"I'm not interested in that either!" Wang Teng refused again.

No benefit is as good as being alive.

"You really are..." King Peacock sighed, feeling that Wang Teng was hopeless and couldn't even be moved by a precious pearl from an ancient aristocratic family with a special physique.

However, he reconsidered.

"That's not right. I was originally forcing you two to get married to target the Ji family. Why would I need your consent? You're just a hostage in my hands now." The Peacock King came to his senses, and the smile on his face returned to its original radiance.

Wang Teng's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was completely dead! He didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if ever since he met Ji Ziyue, the entire world of "Covering the Sky" had been forcing him to marry her...

"Let's go, Xiao Wang, let's go find your future wife." The Peacock King smiled brightly, holding Wang Teng's hand with one hand, and flew through the air in a certain direction.

"Senior Peacock King, please don't say that. Even if you don't consider the Ji family, you should at least consider me. I'm still young and not engaged yet. What will others think of me if they find out about such a hasty address?" Wang Teng couldn't help but say halfway through the journey.

"It's alright, you're a hostage, don't overthink it." The Peacock King had figured it out and no longer cared about Wang Teng's words. "You can't possibly threaten me with suicide, can you? Don't worry, even if you really die and your life is completely cut off, I can bring you back to life in a short time."

The Peacock King's words completely blocked Wang Teng's path.

Wang Teng had considered threatening the Peacock King, but he really didn't have anything to threaten him with.

The difference in strength was too great. Even if he wielded the Chaotic Ancient Battle Axe, without the help of imperial weapons and deities, he still couldn't defeat the Peacock King.

"Don't worry, you'll thank me in the future. When you and that pearl of the Ji family hold your wedding banquet, remember to invite me to be your witness. I want to see the Ji family head's smile with my own eyes and reveal my identity when he's smiling the brightest." The Peacock King said.

Regardless of how brightly the Ji family head smiles later, right now, he's smiling exceptionally brightly.

Wang Teng remained expressionless, his heart ashen.

It seems that the Peacock King left a mark on Ji Ziyue that day. He traveled in one direction and eventually arrived at a mountain wilderness.

Unsurprisingly, they encountered Ye Fan there.

"Brother Wang, you're here too? That's great!" Ye Fan greeted Wang Teng excitedly upon seeing him.

"Is this brother a friend of Brother Wang? What are you doing here? It's such a coincidence that we've met here!" Ye Fan was very excited. Meeting an old friend here meant that they had a chance to escape.

"You're getting excited a little too soon..." Wang Teng sighed.

The Peacock King smiled broadly as he spoke with Ye Fan.

It wasn't until the severely injured and weakened Ji Ziyue walked over and saw the Peacock Queen that she recognized her identity, her expression changed drastically, and she pulled Ye Fan back.

"The Peacock King!" Ye Fan's expression changed drastically upon learning the young man's identity.

He remarked that Wang Teng's complexion had been rather poor and reminded him that he was celebrating too soon.

Only then did he realize that Wang Teng had been captured by the Peacock King!

But shouldn't the Peacock King have captured Ji Haoyue? Why capture Wang Teng instead?

"It seems we're too late. The pearl of the Ji family has already joined the others." The Peacock King said with some regret, but he didn't dwell on it for long before speaking again.

Wang Teng's scalp tingled with fear, terrified that this guy would say something like "Wang Teng's little darling wife" in front of Ye Fan.

He wants to live!
"Senior, please listen to me first..." Wang Teng quickly transmitted his voice to the Peacock King.

"Hmm? Then you go first." The Peacock King raised an eyebrow and communicated with Wang Teng through telepathy.

"This kid has the Ancient Sacred Body and has a very bad relationship with the Ji family. Rather than having Ji Ziyue marry me, why not arrange for Ji Ziyue to marry this young man? Wouldn't the Ji family patriarch be so angry that he'd die?" Wang Teng transmitted his voice to the Peacock King.

At the same time, in order to keep both sides calm, he was also sending telepathic messages to Ye Fan and Ji Ziyue.
