Shui Huang glanced at Hong Jin: "Don't be too happy. Even if I am willing to help you, Gu Xiang may not be willing to marry you. Don't forget Gu Xiang's identity. She is not an ordinary woman."
"Haha... I believe in my father's ability." Hongjin said with a smile: "As long as my father takes action, Sister Gu will definitely marry me!"
The Water Emperor shook his head helplessly: "You kid, you know how to flatter me." After saying that, the Water Emperor turned around and walked towards Gu Xiang.
Hong Jin hurriedly followed.
"Friend Gu Taoist, I can give you Jiuqu Ganoderma lucidum, but I have a condition." Water Emperor said.
"Your Majesty the Water Emperor, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will not refuse you." Gu Xiang nodded.
"Friend Gu Taoist, I hope you can marry Hongjin." Shuihuang stated his conditions.
Gu Xiang's face suddenly darkened: "Your Majesty the Water Emperor, are you kidding me?"
Li Tianqi, who was standing aside, suddenly became anxious. He pointed at the Water Emperor and yelled: "You want your mother-in-law to marry your son, but there is no way!"
The Water Emperor glanced at Li Tianqi: "How dare a junior yell at me! I really don't know whether to live or die!" As he spoke, the Water Emperor waved his sleeves violently, and a gust of wind rose from the ground and flew directly towards Li Tianqi.
Gu Xiang dodged and stood in front of Li Tianqi. With a wave of her hand, she dispersed the incoming wind.
A gleam flashed in the Water Emperor's eyes: "Fellow Ancient Daoist, are you starting a war with me?"
Gu Xiang shook his head: "Your Majesty the Water Emperor, Li Tianqi is just a junior. I hope you will show your respect and don't argue with him."
At this time, Hong Jin also stepped forward to persuade the Water Emperor: "Father, calm down... It's not worth getting angry with a little person..." Hong Jin doesn't care about Li Tianqi's life or death, he cares about Gu Xiang, he can
He didn't want Water Emperor and Gu Xiang to fight over a trivial matter. No matter who lost, Hongjin couldn't accept it. One was his father and the other was his beloved woman. Hongjin was really conflicted.
Under Hong Jin's persuasion, Shuihuang's expression softened a little: "Friend Gu Taoist, for your sake, I will let that kid go today, but just this once, if that kid dares to speak rudely to me again,
I will take his surname!"
Li Tianqi's face was dark and his chest was bulging with anger.
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Water Emperor!" Gu Xiang thanked him, then looked back at Li Tianqi: "Stop making trouble! Do you hear me?"
Li Tianqi's mouth twitched: "Mother-in-law, they..."
"Shut up!" Gu Xiang shouted softly: "From now on, you are not allowed to say a word!" After saying that, Gu Xiang stopped talking to Li Tianqi and turned to look at the Water Emperor: "Your Majesty the Water Emperor, you proposed
The conditions are too embarrassing for me, I hope you can change the conditions."
Shuihuang shook his head: "Friend Gu Taoist, I have already broken the rules of the Shui tribe by promising you Jiuqu Ganoderma lucidum. If you don't give me some compensation, it will be difficult for me to explain to the tribe." The meaning behind Shuihuang's words.
It's very simple. As long as Gu Xiang agrees to marry Hong Jin, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Water Emperor, and she can be regarded as half a Shui tribe member. When the Water Emperor gives Jiuqu Ganoderma as a betrothal gift to Gu Xiang, the Shui tribe people will not
Great opinion.
"Mother-in-law...can't agree..." Li Tianqi said hurriedly.
Shuihuang's face, which had just soothed, became tense again, and he said in a cold tone: "Friend Gu Dao, the people in Lingshan don't know the rules."
Hong Jin looked at Li Tianqi with cold eyes.
Gu Xiang did something that surprised everyone. With a wave of her hand, she knocked Li Tianqi away.
"Whoosh!" Li Tianqi slammed the door of the palace, opened his mouth, and spurted out a mouthful of blood. Li Tianqi looked at Gu Xiang in surprise: "Mother-in-law... you... why did you hit me..."
"Li Tianqi, from now on, if you dare to talk too much, I will expel you from Lingshan!" Gu Xiang said word by word.
Li Tianqi opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say another word, and struggled to get up from the ground: "Cough cough cough..." A lot of blood flowed out of Li Tianqi's mouth.
Gu Xiang took a deep look at Li Tianqi and then turned around: "Your Majesty the Water Emperor, in terms of seniority, I am Hong Jin's senior. In terms of age, I am several times older than Hong Jin. Do you think Hong Jin and I are suitable?"
"I don't care!" Hongjin said hurriedly: "Sister Gu, I don't care about your age. Really, I don't care at all. As for seniority... I know that my cultivation level is low in my heart, but I will work hard to cultivate and try to catch up to you as soon as possible.
Get up!"
The Water Emperor said: "Seniority and age are not important to me. What is important is that Hong Jin likes you. Fellow Taoist Gu, you don't know something. Since you left the Red Sea last time, Hong Jin seems to have lost his soul.
, I have been listless for a long time. If I hadn’t stopped him, Hongjin would have gone to find you... Fellow Taoist Gu, Hongjin really likes you very much. I will give Hongjin a son, and Hongjin will inherit mine in the future.
To become the next Water Emperor, if you marry my son, you will be the queen from now on!"
Gu Xiang shook her head: "I'm not interested in the Queen's title at all."
The Water Emperor frowned: "Fellow Ancient Daoist, are you rejecting me?"
"Your Majesty the Water Emperor, Hong Jin and I are really not suitable for each other." Gu Xiang said.
"Just because it's not suitable now, doesn't mean it won't be suitable in the future. Fellow Taoist Gu, do you look down on my son?" Shuihuang said with a gloomy face.
"His Majesty the Water Emperor has misunderstood. Hong Jin is very good and I admire him very much, but I have no feelings for Hong Jin..." Gu Xiang said.
The Water Emperor waved his hand: "Emotions can be cultivated! Fellow Taoist Gu, I don't want to waste time with you. Just give me a happy word. Do you agree or reject?"
Gu Xiang was silent. It was absolutely impossible for her to marry Hong Jin, but she couldn't say anything if she refused, because once she refused, she would not be able to get the Jiuqu Ganoderma. What should she do? Gu Xiang's life was so big, she had never
I have never been so conflicted today.
Seeing that the situation was tense, Hongjin had to come out to smooth things over: "Father, why don't you give Sister Gu a few days to think about it? After all, getting married is not a trivial matter..."
The Water Emperor pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, fellow ancient Taoist, I will give you three days to think about it. After three days, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer. Hongjin, please take fellow ancient Taoist down to rest."
"Yes." Hongjin nodded and made an invitation gesture to Gu Xiang: "Sister Gu, I'll take you to rest!"
Gu Xiang's lips moved, but in the end she said nothing, turned around and followed Hong Jin out of the palace.
Li Tianqi lowered his head and followed Gu Xiang silently. After being beaten by Gu Xiang, Li Tianqi became silent.
"Sister Gu, my father is quite straightforward, so don't be angry," Hongjin said.
"I'm not angry." Gu Xiang shook his head.
"Sister Gu, I am sincere to you... Just give me a chance..." Hong Jin was interrupted by Gu Xiang before he could finish his words.
"Hongjin, I don't want to discuss this with you now. Didn't you give me three days to think about it? I will give you an answer in three days!" Gu Xiang said lightly.
"Uh... ok..." Hong Jin smiled and changed the subject: "Sister Gu, do you see the grandeur of these palaces?"
Gu Xiang nodded: "It's very grand." The palaces are one after another, and there is no end in sight. There is a transparent mask above all the palaces, and the sea water is completely isolated by the mask, so
There is a vacuum inside the palace, not a drop of sea water.
This water tribe is really powerful, it can actually set up such a powerful formation on the bottom of the sea.
Hong Jin talked a lot and kept chattering along the way. Gu Xiang basically listened and rarely expressed opinions. Only when Hong Jin asked, Gu Xiang responded with a neither salty nor bland answer. It can be seen that Gu Xiang
I don't have much fondness for red gold.
After a winding journey, Hong Jin finally led Gu Xiang and Li Tianqi into a small palace.
"See His Majesty the Crown Prince!" The maids and guards of the palace knelt down and saluted.
Hong Jin waved his hand: "No gifts!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!" The maid and the guard got up from the ground.
Hong Jin pointed at Gu Xiang and said: "This is a distinguished guest, you must take good care of it, do you hear me?"
"Yes!" the maids and guards responded in unison.
"Sister Gu, let me take you around. There is a garden behind this palace..." Hong Jinxian said attentively.
"No, I'm a little tired and want to rest." Gu Xiang lightly rejected Hong Jin's kindness.
"Uh... that's okay, Sister Gu, you can rest. I'll come see you tomorrow." After saying that, Hong Jin left. Before leaving, he told the maids and guards to take good care of Gu.
Xiang, if there is any offense, I will kill you without mercy!
Gu Xiang turned around and glanced at the maids and guards standing around: "You all, please go out."
"This..." A maid hesitated: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked us to stay and take care of you..."
"I don't need your care, let's go out now." Gu Xiang's tone was a little cold.
The maids and guards were in a bit of trouble.
"Get out!" Gu Xiang's tone increased: "If Hong Jin blames you, just say that I asked you to get out!"
Seeing that Gu Xiang was angry, the maids and guards did not dare to say any more and left the palace with their heads lowered.
Li Tianqi stood aside quietly without saying a word.
Gu Xiang looked back at Li Tianqi: "Are you still angry with me?"
Li Tianqi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No."
"Since you're not angry, why are you frowning and not saying a word?" Gu Xiang said lightly.
Li Tianqi smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to say...Mother-in-law, seeing you endure the bullying in order to save me... I feel... very sad..."
"You still have a conscience." Gu Xiang laughed.
"Of course I have a conscience, mother-in-law, let's leave here!" Li Tianqi said: "I don't want the Jiuqu Ganoderma lucidum. The worst is, I will be a useless person in this life, and I can't let you, mother-in-law, suffer any injustice!" (To be continued!
