I was so wicked before.

The fact that Ling Qi's cultivation level is at the Limitless Realm has spread throughout the entire continent.

If the Great Yan Dynasty insists on waiting until Ling Qi takes action personally, it may not even be time to admit defeat.

Therefore, after some discussion, they were willing to pay a huge price to make peace before the war even began.

Do not offend this being from the Boundless Realm in the slightest.

Ling Qi waved.

Hua Wanqiu took the letter, opened it, and read it aloud verbatim.

In short, the Great Yan Dynasty took the initiative to seek friendship with the Ye Xuan Dynasty.

To this end, they also prepared a grand gift, a gift that they said would absolutely satisfy Ling Qi.

"Heh, this doesn't sound like peace talks, it sounds more like... a show of weakness."

After reading it aloud, Hua Wanqiu chuckled and said, "Of course, this is the best option for the Great Yan Dynasty."

After all, if they don't make peace, Ling Qi will take action against their entire empire.

Although it is unknown where Ling Qi came from, given Ling Qi's domineering and arrogant nature, how could he tolerate the existence of a second empire on the same continent?

An emperor like him must have such ambitions!

Dominate the continent, and then... dominate all realms!

"A grand gift that will satisfy me?"

Ling Qi smiled faintly, then slowly said, "Alright, let's see what kind of grand gift they can come up with to satisfy me."

"clear!"

Hua Wanqiu nodded, and then wrote back to the Great Yan Dynasty.

It wasn't that they agreed to the peace request, but rather that they would first see what the so-called "great gift" was.

……

The grand gift from the Great Yan Dynasty was actually quite simple.

Think about it, what does someone of Ling Qi's caliber need?

Whatever treasures, elixirs, cultivation techniques, or divine artifacts the Great Yan Dynasty could offer, they would be essentially useless against someone in the Boundless Realm.

Therefore, the only grand gift they could think of to give Ling Qi was...

That is... a person!

A beauty!

Princess Yan Ruoxing of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Seeking peace through marriage is naturally the best option.

This way, not only will they avoid offending Ling Qi, but they can also preserve the existence of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Even in the future, the Great Yan Dynasty could still receive Ling Qi's protection.

Get it in one fell swoop!

"A marriage alliance? Marrying someone else? No way, I absolutely refuse!"

In the main hall of the Great Yan Dynasty's imperial palace, Yan Ruoxing refused on the spot.

Are you kidding me?

For no apparent reason, I'm suddenly being asked to get married?

And she didn't even know what kind of person she had married.

Having always wanted everything she wanted since childhood, she naturally didn't want to leave her home to suffer such injustice.

"Xing'er, this is for the sake of the entire empire."

The Great Yan Emperor sighed, "That night, the Emperor of the Xuanhuang Dynasty was at the Limitless Realm. Our Great Yan is definitely no match for him."

"If we submit directly, the name of the Great Yan Dynasty will cease to exist."

"But if we form a marriage alliance, we can not only preserve the name of the empire, but also avoid the flames of war."

"Furthermore, being able to befriend beings from the Boundless Realm has immeasurable benefits in the long run."

"Xing'er, it is natural for men to marry when they are of age and women to marry when they are of age. If you can find a husband from the realm of Wuji, you will have a good home."

Indeed, marriage is the best option from every perspective.

Although this will mean hurting my daughter, whom I've spoiled since she was little, I have no choice but to make the sacrifice for the sake of the bigger picture.

However, Yan Ruoxing would never agree to this: "Why? Why should I marry someone I've never even met? Father, have you considered my feelings?"

"We certainly know this will put you in a difficult position, but we have no other choice."

The Great Yan Emperor said, "If the Ye Xuan Dynasty makes the first move, we might not even have a chance to negotiate."

"I don't care, I'm not getting married. I'd rather die than marry someone I've never met and don't like." Yan Ruoxing crossed her arms and coldly refused.

Seeing his daughter in this state, the King of Great Yan shook his head helplessly.

He then simply waved his hand lightly: "General Wang!"

"yes!"

Inside the main hall, a man clad in golden armor nodded.

Then, with a casual wave of his hand, he pulled out a large box.

"I apologize, Your Highness."

Before Yan Ruoxing could say anything, he forcibly stuffed her into a box and packed her up.

For the sake of the future of the entire empire, this matter is not up to Yan Ruoxing.

She has to marry whether she wants to or not.

"General Wang, after we go to the Yexuan Dynasty, everything will depend on you."

The Great Yan Emperor sighed helplessly, "We must not offend the beings of the Boundless Realm."

They are far stronger than me, so I must be absolutely humble.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, I will do my utmost to make this marriage happen."

General Wang nodded, and then, accompanied by Yan Ruoxing and some attendants, headed towards the Yexuan Dynasty…

……

The Great Yan Dynasty acted swiftly, not daring to delay in the slightest, for fear that Ling Qi might be dissatisfied.

Therefore, after the Xuanhuang Dynasty replied that night, General Wang came to negotiate peace on behalf of the Great Yan Dynasty the next day.

"Wang Yan of the Great Yan Dynasty greets Your Majesty."

Inside the main hall of the Ye Xuan Dynasty's palace, Wang Yan, along with several others, bowed slightly to Ling Qi, who sat on the dragon throne at the very front.

"Your Great Yan Dynasty isn't stupid after all."

Ling Qi sat on the dragon throne, propping his head up with one hand: "Now, tell me what you call a grand ceremony."

Let's not waste any time and get straight to the point.

"yes!"

Wang Yan nodded, then raised his hand and waved.

A large box appeared in the middle of the hall.

Hua Wanqiu and the others were quite curious; what kind of grand gift was this?

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Wang Yan then waved his hand again, and the box opened.

The box had barely been opened when Yan Ruoxing's angry, shrewish voice rang out: "Wang Yan, how dare you kidnap this princess?!"

"This princess doesn't want to get married! She absolutely doesn't want to..."

Yan Ruoxing, who had burst out shouting and jumping, was actually filled with anger and resentment.

But as soon as she came out, her voice changed from angry and fiery to shocked and... gentle.

As soon as she came out, she saw Ling Qi sitting on the dragon throne.

I go!

How could the emperor of the Yexuan Dynasty be so handsome?

He's practically the perfect male god in the hearts of countless women.

"I……"

Yan Ruoxing was speechless for a moment.

The previous shrewishness and resistance vanished without a trace in an instant.

She just stood there, her little hands hooked in front of her, a hint of shyness even appearing on her face.

For a moment, it seemed strangely... docile.

Yes, docile!

Wang Yan and the others raised their eyebrows slightly. It was the first time they had ever seen the usually unruly princess show such an attitude and expression.

"Ha, what does that mean?"

Hua Wanqiu frowned slightly, looking at Yan Ruoxing with a hint of hostility in her eyes.

Is this what the Great Yan Dynasty calls a grand gift?

What's going on?

Are you giving it away as a gift?

And it was even delivered directly to Her Highness the Princess?

So in the end, the Great Yan Dynasty actually wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Ye Xuan Dynasty?

No, what will I do if this girl succeeds?
