"Just what is that thing?" Seeing Li Chen not replying to what it was, Little Charmer asked a few more questions.

Li Chen reached out his hand to pinch Little Charmer's face and said, "His Majesty bestowed upon me a beauty that can topple nations. Are you sure you want me to accept her? It just happens that I don't think it's right to reject him. Should I go and ask him for his return? "

Little Charmer was stunned, allowing Li Chen's hand to clap on his face. He didn't even have time to react.

"Little fool!" Li Chen chuckled. He suddenly leaned over and gently kissed Little Charmer.

Little Charmer suddenly came back to his senses and patted Li Chen's hand. He angrily said: "What! His Majesty actually wants to give you a beauty! "

"That's right! And she's a priceless beauty! " Li Chen purposefully emphasized the word priceless. "What? You still want to think about it?"

Little Charmer gritted his teeth: "Yes! Why not! I still need a maid who can carry tea, pour water, wash and cook! "

Li Chen snickered. He didn't know if Little Charmer would say something like that when he found out that the woman was Princess Jiayi.

While they were chatting, a voice suddenly called out from outside, "Princess Jiayi has arrived!"

The grapevine put away his playful thoughts, and then his eyes were a little gloomy.

Seeing Li Chen and Li Jun, Jia Yi nodded his head towards Li Chen. He ignored the palace and said directly to Li Chen, "Can I have a word with you alone?"

Jia Yi knew about the matters of the imperial court immediately.

It had to be said that Jia Yi was very happy when she heard that Wan Tongtian was going to give her a marriage. However, she soon found out about Li Chen's refusal.

Therefore, she rushed over here in a hurry to ask Li Chen about this.

Little Charmer looked at Li Chen and Jia Yi's faces for a long time. She subconsciously wanted to hug Li Chen's arm tightly, as if she wanted to prove her ownership.

Li Chen comforted Little Charmer by patting his hand, "You can leave first!"

The legend was a little disappointed as she adjusted her emotions. She thought to himself, Li Chen said that he was a priceless beauty, so how could he be considered priceless?

Only a person like Jiayi with a noble and beautiful identity would be considered priceless!

However, very soon, the rumor began to comfort itself. If Li Chen had any second thoughts, he would have agreed to it when the Emperor bestowed the marriage on him, instead of choosing to reject it.

Thinking of this, Little Charmer felt a lot more comfortable. He said "oh" to Li Chen and left the room.

The followers of Princess Jiayi also walked out of the room.

The moment Li Chen saw Jia Yi, he guessed that she must have come for the court meeting today.

"I heard that father wanted to betroth me to you, but you refused?" Jia Yi said bluntly.

Li Chen nodded calmly. "I don't think we are suitable."

Jiayi sneered, "What is suitable?"

Li Chen didn't expect that Jia Yi would ask him that thoroughly. He pondered for a moment and said: "You are a princess, and I am just a commoner in Beiming Nation, so it's not really appropriate. Moreover, if I return to the Southern region, will your father the emperor agree to let you come with me?"

This question was the real problem. Although it was an excuse, it should be enough to convince Jia Yi, right? Li Chen thought to herself.

Jiayi frowned, "What's wrong with Darknorth? Isn't it better to be carefree here for the rest of my life? "

This question made Li Chen want to laugh, "Then what's wrong with the Southern Domain? Why must I choose the Darknorth Kingdom? "

In the end, Jia Yi was still a little naive. She was instantly speechless when she was asked by Li Chen.

"I won't marry you, but I simply don't like you. It's not that you're not good enough, but that we're really unsuitable?" Li Chen explained with a serious expression.

Jiayi raised her head slightly with a smile on her face, "Am I not suitable? Is she really suitable for you? "

Naturally, Li Chen knew that Jia Yi was referring to the 'small talk'. He frowned slightly, not liking to compare her with the 'small talk'.

"She's a very good girl." Li Chen did not want to comment any further, but Jia Yi's attitude made him feel that something was wrong.

"I see." Jia Yi looked deeply at Li Chen, then turned and left.

Once Jia Yi left, Little Chuan ran back and looked at Li Chen gossiping, "What did you two say behind my back?"

Li Chen couldn't help but want to laugh and say, "He asked me which one of you is bigger and which one is younger after we get married."

The grapevine suddenly felt wronged. "Why!? Didn't you say that you won't marry her? "

Looking at Little Charmer whose eyes were suddenly filled with tears, Li Chen hugged her with a smile and said, "I was lying to you! I won't marry her! "

Hearing Li Chen's words, Little Chun felt slightly relieved. She raised her head to look at Li Chen as the corner of her mouth slightly curled. What kind of people are they!? They treated Li Chen like a piece of cake for him!

No, she had to get out of here as soon as possible.

"When are we going to leave?" Little Chun asked as he acted coquettishly towards Li Chen.

Li Chen slightly frowned: "I'll do it in these two days! I just want to wait for a reply from Schiker. "

To Li Chen, Darknorth Kingdom was not even worth his attention. He only wanted Xiong Ke to return to the Southern region with Yang Wei.

If he had two Martial Saints in the Sword School, he would not need to be so afraid of the revenge from the other clans in the Southern Domain.

The grapevine opened his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end.

Having lived in Beiming Nation since she was young, she had heard quite a few stories about Xiong Ke, and she sincerely admired this man. Even the rumors suspected that Wan Tongtian would really allow Xiong Ke to leave.

He couldn't be sure about that.

Not long after Jia Yi left, Xiong Ke also came.

Seeing Xiong Ke's frown, Li Chen could not help but laugh and say, "General Xiong, don't tell me that you also think that I should not reject the Emperor's suggestion today?"

Xiong Ke shook his head. "Of course not. If you're willing to marry, then marry. If you aren't, then no one can force you!"

When Li Chen heard Xiong Ke say this, his heart felt a lot more at ease.

"It's just that I'm very worried about his actions …"

Xiong Ke didn't finish his words, but Li Chen understood what he was worried about. He said lightly, "It's fine. He can't even force me if he wants to. At worst, I can just leave."

With that, Li Chen looked at Xiong Ke and said, "As for you, have you decided to stay or come with me?"

Li Chen asked this without any intent of coercion. He knew what kind of person Xiong Ke was. Although he had a better future by following him, he also had one thing, which was that Xiong Ke would no longer be able to protect the entire Beiming Nation.

"I will request for an order tomorrow. Tell His Majesty to allow me to return from my old injury and remove my armor and return to the fields."

Xiong Ke's words were tantamount to telling Li Chen that he had decided to leave together with Li Chen.

Li Chen smiled, "I'm waiting for your good news!"

Although he said this, Xiong Ke's heart was heavy. The next day, Xiong Ke gave Wan Tongtian a discount.

When Wan Tongtian saw what was written on it, a burst of anger ignited in his heart.

How could he allow Xiong Ke to leave?

He was still counting on him to protect Darknorth Kingdom!

Wan Tongtian took a lot of effort to dispel his anger, but after two days, Xiong Ke still hadn't received a reply from Wan Tongtian.

On the other hand, Li Chen did receive a large amount of gold and silver.

"It's just a common thing!" Li Chen said indifferently when he saw those things.

Little Charmer didn't care that much. He turned to Li Chen and said, "A common thing? If you don't want it, then just give it to me! "

The end result was that most of the stuff went into the biblical pocket.

On the third day, Xiong Ke could no longer sit still and directly told Wan Tongtian about it.

"What does General Xiong mean by this?" Wan Tongtian's face slowly turned cold.

Xiong Ke spoke with slight helplessness, "For the sake of the Beiming Empire's military, I have truly wanted to remove my armor and return to the land. I ask for Your Majesty's permission."

Wan Tongtian's expression was ice-cold as he stared at Xiong Ke and said sorrowfully, "You know that in the entire Darknorth Kingdom, the person I trust the most is you! "But why would you …"

Before Wan Tongtian could finish his words, Xiong Ke interrupted him, "It's just a matter of helplessness. My strength is nearing its end, if I don't train hard, then I will only be a pile of bones for a hundred years. I hope that Your Majesty will allow this little bit of selfishness!"

Xiong Ke had already spoken his mind, but Wan Tongtian didn't have any intention of backing down.

The next day, in the imperial court, Wan Tongtian gave Xiong Ke a lot of rewards in the name of his country's protection. Finally, he gave the order to marry Xiong Ke and Jia Yi.

When this news came out, everyone in the Divine Wood City was dumbfounded!

Even Li Chen felt that Wan Tongtian had gone mad.

Princess Jiayi also never expected that the Emperor would grant Xiong Ke the marriage. She immediately felt a little dizzy.

'This Emperor... I'm afraid you're a little confused. " Hearing this, the grapevine smacked her lips. She finally understood why Li Chen said that the person you were envious of was probably jealous of you as well.

Although Xiong Ke wasn't ugly, and he was tall and sturdy, but he could still be considered the same generation as Wan Tongtian. Marrying Xiong Ke gave off the impression of a beautiful and strong beast.

Xiong Ke hurriedly asked Wan Tongtian to retract his order. Even Princess Jia Yi could not sit still.

She didn't get a single piece of news, yet she was suddenly married to Xiong Ke. What a surprise!

"I wonder what Wan Tongtian will do this time!" Li Chen and the small legend also sighed when they thought of this.

In order to tie Xiong Ke up, Wan Tongtian had really put his life on the line. He didn't even care about his daughter's happiness.

But soon, a new piece of news came from the palace.

Princess Jiayi claimed that she already belonged to someone, and that she was not willing to marry Xiong Ke.

This time, the heavenly thunder was rolling!

Li Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. In order to not marry Xiong Ke, Jia Yi had even destroyed his own reputation!

But soon, Li Chen could no longer laugh! Under Wan Tongtian's questioning, Jia Yi finally revealed the identity of the person!

It was none other than Li Chen himself.

When Li Chen heard this news, he nearly vomited a mouthful of saliva.

This was truly a person sitting at home with a pot coming from the sky! Who did he offend!
