Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 100, The Three-Day Agreement

The Snow Night Emperor spoke slowly:

"By special permission of the King, she may not perform the grand ceremony when meeting the Emperor, and may sit side by side with him. Rongrong is Fengzhi's only daughter, which is why she can enjoy this honor!"

Meng Bei narrowed his eyes.

What does that mean?

Is he being mocked for his lack of manners?

Is Emperor Xueye really that brave?

Meng Bei was right.

Next, Emperor Xueye took a sip of tea, admired the garden scenery, and then asked Meng Bei as if it were a casual conversation:

"Meng Bei, I don't know you very well. Could you tell me which family you belong to and what your title is?"

Young master? Title?

Meng Bei didn't have any noble title; he was just a commoner. If what Emperor Xueye said was true, he should have performed the full kneeling ceremony, and then, after receiving Emperor Xueye's permission with trepidation, sit on that small stool.

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong immediately showed anger and was about to get up.

Fortunately, Meng Bei reached out and pressed down on Ning Rongrong's shoulder in time; otherwise, given Rongrong's temperament, she would have at least given Emperor Xueye a good scolding before letting the matter drop.

However, although Meng Bei stopped Ning Rongrong, it did not mean that Meng Bei was not angry.

He just didn't show his anger on his face.

Emperor Xueye pretended not to know and asked Meng Bei about his title, but Meng Bei simply did not believe that Emperor Xueye had not investigated him.

He had been pondering the deeper meaning behind Emperor Xueye's words, but now it seemed there was no deeper meaning at all. The real meaning, it seemed, was that Emperor Xueye had developed a sore on his backside and no longer wanted to sit on the throne!

Meng Bei has already begun to think about who should be appointed as the next emperor of the Heavenly Dou Empire. Of course, this is a very important matter, and he will need to discuss it in detail after he returns.

A strong person does not show their emotions; although they may be angry, they will not lose their reason because of anger.

After thinking for a moment, Meng Bei remained seated, not rising, and instead looked directly at Emperor Xue Ye, saying:

"Your Majesty, Meng Bei is neither a young master nor a nobleman. He is a barbarian from the far north. He is fortunate to have the favor of his father-in-law and the love of Miss Rongrong, which is why he is where he is today."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye stared intently at Meng Bei.

Meanwhile, Meng Bei stared directly at Emperor Xue Ye without flinching.

This surprised Emperor Xueye greatly.

Based on his investigation into Meng Bei's background, Meng Bei shouldn't be so assertive.

According to Emperor Xueye's original plan, Meng Bei should apologize to him for the etiquette issue, and he would then extend an olive branch to Meng Bei after Meng Bei softened his stance, thus winning Meng Bei over.

This is the simplest way to give someone a beating and then offering them a sweet treat.

But now, it seems something went wrong at some point, and Meng Bei doesn't seem afraid of him at all.

He is the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire. Even Ning Fengzhi dares not underestimate his existence. How dare Meng Bei, a young Soul Master, challenge his authority?

Emperor Xueye had an extremely keen sense of smell, and he instantly guessed that this kid was either a hothead or had some kind of reliance that he didn't know about!

After figuring this out, Emperor Xueye's attitude changed instantly.

Regardless of which of the above situations applies to Meng Bei, it means that the information he previously gathered about Meng Bei was incorrect. At this point, what he should do is first stabilize Meng Bei, and then conduct a more detailed investigation into Meng Bei's information.

Suddenly, a kind smile appeared on Xueye's face, and she said:

"Little Bei, you can't be without a title. You're currently the youngest Soul Master known on the continent. How can someone with such talent not have a title? How about this, to celebrate your wedding with Rongrong, I'll bestow upon you the title of Earl of the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Earl, this is a sweet treat that Emperor Xueye had prepared for Meng Bei long ago.

However, his original plan was to suppress Meng Bei first, and then offer the title when Meng Bei was trembling with fear, in order to gain Meng Bei's favor to the greatest extent.

But now some unexpected things have happened, and he has to take out this sweet date ahead of schedule.

"The Earl..."

Meng Bei thought for a moment and then shook his head.

"Your Majesty, let's forget about the title of Earl. I feel I'm more suited to the position of Prince Consort of the Heavenly Dou Empire."

Snow Night Emperor: "The Prince Consort???"

Meng Bei's words caused Emperor Xue Ye to cough violently.

"Ahem, you young people really like to joke. My Xueke has long wanted to marry off a talented young man, but I'm afraid Fengzhi won't agree."

Meng Bei smiled upon hearing this:

"Your Majesty, you misunderstand. I wasn't talking about Princess Xueke, but Rongrong!"

"Hmm?" Ning Rongrong tilted her head and looked over in confusion.

Meng Bei took Ning Rongrong's small hand and casually played with it.

He also explained:

"Your Majesty, when Rongrong and I came here before, we had a conversation with Crown Prince Qinghe. He treats Rongrong like a younger sister. Since that's the case, why doesn't Your Majesty further strengthen the bond by issuing a decree allowing Prince Qinghe to recognize Rongrong as his sister and thus bring about this joyous occasion?"

"Ah, this..."

Emperor Xueye fell into deep thought.

He was a little unsure about this matter.

On the surface, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with Xue Qinghe recognizing Ning Rongrong as his younger sister, but he dared not agree to it easily.

Meng Bei doesn't want a title, but he wants to become a prince consort. Is there some ulterior motive behind this?

The Great Emperor pondered deeply on the snowy night, but his thoughts remained unclear.

So he simply said:

"Rongrong, Xiaobei, I understand your thoughts, but this matter is of great importance, and I still need to discuss it with Fengzhi. You should go back now!"

The Snow Night Emperor chose to see his guests off.

Meng Bei and Ning Rongrong then left the palace.

On the way, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but ask Meng Bei:

"That old emperor's attitude on that snowy night was really too much. Aren't you angry? And why did you make me a princess? Isn't it good as it is now? Being a princess means being bound by all sorts of etiquette."

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei put his arm around Ning Rongrong and whispered in her ear:

"Because I want Xue Qinghe to be the emperor."

"what!"

Ning Rongrong's lips parted slightly.

"You want to kill your emperor?"

Mengbeidao:

"What regicide? I am a barbarian from the far north. I neither wanted his title nor his land. How can he be considered my lord?"

Ning Rongrong nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

"Then why did you make me Xue Qinghe's younger sister? Just for the title of princess?"

"yes!"

Meng Bei nodded and said:

"The Heavenly Dou Empire has lasted for thousands of years, with deep roots and a powerful reputation. The name itself still carries considerable weight."

"You have the title of princess, so after Xue Qinghe ascends the throne, it will be natural for you to become regent. Otherwise, without this title, even if our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is very powerful, it will still cause a lot of opposition."

"If we are attacked by a group of people, even if we can suppress the opponents with our strong strength, the losses caused in the process will not be small, and there is even a possibility that other forces will take advantage of the situation."

After hearing Meng Bei's explanation, Ning Rongrong suddenly realized:

"So that's what you think!"

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she asked in confusion:

"Wait a minute, there's another problem. Even if Xue Qinghe succeeds to the throne, how do you deal with his situation? Will he support us unconditionally?"

Meng Bei laughed upon hearing this.

"Brother Qinghe~"

"I have a brilliant plan. In just three days, I will make her completely obedient to me."
