C26

"26. Pride after engagement."

Arriving at the entrance of the house, Ji Feng found that the guards at the entrance were all looking at him with admiration, and their attitude was even more respectful than before. After entering the courtyard, everyone who saw him had the same expression in their eyes. Even though he wasn't the slightest bit unfamiliar with this gaze when he was on Earth, he was still a little proud deep down in his heart.

The Winston clan was actually quite large, and this manor was also quite large. However, only Ji Feng and Lidisia lived here, and the rest were servants. Even Agad Winston, the previous head of the family, and the Rosses did not live here. This was a Winston tradition, and only the current patriarch could live here.

Therefore, all the people that the monsoon saw were servants of the family, with the exception of Leticia, who was at the end of the yard.

Though Letitia had been through a lot, when she saw Ji Feng, she still rushed over and held him in her arms. She looked him up and down until she was sure that there was not a single wound on his body.

Only then did he excitedly say, "Amazing, to be able to actually defeat Harby."

The monsoon was not used to being held like this by Leticia, so he pushed Letitia away without a trace and said, "Mother, these are ten things I took from the storeroom in the Hapi rack. See if there's anything you like."

Leticia was very happy today. It could be said that today was the happiest, most joyful day of her life. She had never thought that a useless son would be able to defeat an intermediate mage.

Letitia did not care about the contents of the bundle. Although the contents of the d'Urbinets' warehouse were rare, as the mistress of the Winston family, she did not take them seriously. In the end, she chose a Rank 7 Water Magical Beast core. Because she was a water mage, if she carried this on her body, the benefits would be great.

Of course, there were many of these types of magical beast cores in the Winston clan warehouse. Although it was very precious, it didn't mean much to her. However, the meaning of this crystal was different, it was something her eldest son earned through his ability.

Not that there was nothing good in the Darbinit family, but that there was certainly more than one storehouse. Skate, of course, didn't take Monsoon to the most important warehouse. Therefore, Monsoon did not pick anything good. However, he didn't care because he already knew that this would happen. As such, he went in and picked ten items as fast as he could.

Looking at the smile on Lidia's face, Ji Feng said, "Mother, I don't want to marry Selina. Can you get the royal family to cancel the marriage?"

"Why?" Leticia's eyes were full of confusion.

"I had a guess. It was only when I saw Selina today that I confirmed it. She was the woman from the bar."

In Leticia's astonishment, the monsoon gave a brief account of what had happened in the bar. It was at this moment that Letitia's heart cleared. She finally understood why Queen Isabel had put him in the Celestial Prison, and why he had not only brought him back himself when she found out what had happened, but had also offered to have the only princess of the Empire marry his good-for-nothing son. It was for this reason.

At this thought, Lidia smiled. She hadn't expected that her good-for-nothing son would be so lucky. Although Selina wasn't the most beautiful child in the Empire, her beauty could be counted on one hand.

"Why? "Is Selina not pretty enough?"

"Mother, I'm very beautiful when I become her, but do you think I can subdue her?"

"What does it matter? It's enough as long as she's your wife. Because of your body constitution, you will never be able to cultivate. Your father's position will definitely be taken by John in the future and he will become the princess' husband.

Ji Feng shook his head, but didn't say anything.

"What are you worried about?"

"The Emperor and Queen only allowed the Princess to marry me due to the pressure of customs. I am just a good-for-nothing. I can use some small methods to win against Harpy, but I can't stay lucky forever."

Letitia immediately understood what Ji Feng meant. She smiled and said, "Selina, as a princess, doesn't dare to go out of line."

"Mother, can we get a divorce?"

"Divorce? "What do you mean?"

"It's the two married people who are separated."

"The fate between a man and a woman is destined by heaven. Even if one discovers that they can't get along after marriage, it's not a reason to part ways again."

"Like you and your father?"

There was a momentary sadness in Lidia's eyes, but it was only for a split-second, and then it vanished into thin air.

After a long time, Leticia said, "You'll be staying at home for the next few days. There are a lot of things to prepare before the engagement."

With that, she turned and left, not even giving Ji Feng a chance to refute her. Standing up, he watched Leticia disappear through the doorway. Monsoon sat down again.

At that moment, an excited Bobby rushed in. At the same time, his voice sounded, "Eldest Young Master, we're rich!"

Ji Feng had been through a lot on Earth. Of course, he wouldn't lose his composure because of the forty million purple coins. However, he didn't show any signs of indifference. At the same time, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he gave Bobby and Samantha ten thousand purple coins each. Looking at Bobby and Samantha who were so excited they didn't know what to do, Monsoon laughed.

The engagement of Monsoon and Selina was scheduled, and the day before that Ronald Winston returned to the imperial capital with his second son, John Winston. Although, as the commander of the empire's garrison, he couldn't leave without permission, as long as the Emperor didn't summon him. But this time, nobody said anything. He had come back to participate in his son's engagement ceremony. Of course, everyone knew that he didn't want to come back, but his good-for-nothing son's background was too great. It was so great that he had no choice but to come back, yet he didn't dare not come.

The monsoon had seen the physiological father of this body, but not the frosty, reprimanding face that adorned the memory of Polnan. On the contrary, he found Ronald's expression very interesting. Although there was a smile on his face, his expression was extremely stiff. If the real owner of this body was here, perhaps he would be deeply moved by this stiff smile.

Ronald did not know that the man in front of him was no longer his good-for-nothing eldest son. Therefore, he could not see the familiar cowardice and caution in his eyes. He felt very strange in his heart. However, when he thought about Princess Selina, who was about to become his daughter-in-law, he suddenly felt relieved.

Facing this useless son of his whom he did not like, Ronald found that he had nothing to say, so he only gave a few words of encouragement before turning around and leaving. His departure made Lidia, who had been a little worried, secretly heave a sigh of relief. Only the two brothers were left in the room.

"Big brother, you're really awesome. Not only did you beat Harby, you even made the princess my sister-in-law. Hehe …"

Seeing the sincere smile on John's face, Ji Feng smiled. "I remember that this is the first time you've said that you would protect me in the future. Hahaha …"

"You're so amazing, and you even need me to protect you. Even if you need my sister-in-law, as long as you don't change your dynasty, no one will dare to bully you. Hahaha …"

"Stinking brat." As Ji Feng spoke, he stretched out his left hand to pat John's shoulder, only to discover that John was much taller than him. In the end, he only patted John lightly on the back.

John just chuckled but didn't say anything.

"Did you suffer in the army with your father?"

"Of course, you don't know how ruthless father is. I was basically cultivating during the day, and after a period of time, father would bring me to the grassland to fight with the soldiers of the Beastman Tribe. Several times, I would think that I wouldn't be able to come back alive."

"Be satisfied. I would like to experience this, but I do not have the chance."

"It's better to be at home. At the very least, I can eat the food you give me every day in different ways. The army's cooks can only cook those food. If I didn't train too hard, I would have definitely gone crazy."

"You'll have to inherit the family in the future. If you're not strong enough, it's hard to avoid someone defying your wishes, no?"

"Brother, I really don't want to be the Patriarch."

"I was lucky and I was a loser, so you didn't have a choice, did you? "Heh heh heh …"

"This trash can even beat up an intermediate mage? I doubt if you've been pretending all these years. "

"I want to pretend. However, I must have the opportunity to do so. After so many tests, my bones are all exposed to the crowd."

John did not speak, because he knew that what the other person said was the truth.

The next day, the engagement ceremony started on time. Even though Selina didn't want to marry Ji Feng, she didn't have the courage to fight against her parents. She could only obediently accept his orders.

After the complicated process was over, Emperor Kelso placed Selina's right hand on Ji Feng's left. There was sparse applause in the palace banquet hall. Next was the celebration of the ball.

Of course, the partner of Ji Feng was Selina. With the gentle music, the ball officially started.

Looking at Selina, who was standing a thousand miles away, Ji Feng smiled proudly and said, "I didn't expect a good-for-nothing like me to one day marry a princess of the Empire. Haha …"
