Chapter 7 Choosing a Concubine
When Shaka's birthday was still a few days away, the beauties of the various gods had already arrived in the Heavenly Palace one after another.
For the throne of the future queen of heaven, every god clan did their best, so the high standard of the beauties this time really opened my eyes.
"Look, the red-haired and purple-eyed one is the youngest daughter of the leader of the Yan clan, named Mediao; The blonde and blue-eyed one is the first beauty of the Moon Clan, and it is said that her singing voice puts the birds to shame; Also, the little beauty with blue hair and blue eyes is a beauty of the Phantom Clan, and I heard that she is still Shaka's cousin; Look at this, this beautiful woman with silver hair and silver eyes like me looks like the ...... of our Japanese tribe."
"Asker, you know all about them." I glanced at him.
Aske was stunned, and there was a smile in his silver eyes, "Xiaosha, are you jealous?" ”
"Please......" I smiled helplessly.
"Xiaosha, in my eyes, you are the most beautiful. If we're together, it's a combination of light and darkness......"
"Who is the darkness?" I smiled softly.
"Haha......" he immediately began to sloppy.
"If you're with me, you'll live in darkness forever, because I'm not going to leave the underworld." I looked at him with a smirk. I've gotten used to his intermittent confessions. Since he likes to play, I'll play with him.
"Okay." He suddenly and simply agreed.
"Oh?" I raised an eyebrow.
"The most suitable place is where the most suitable people are." He stared at me and put away his smile, "That's the same for me. ”
My smile froze stiffly on my face, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he grabbed my hand affectionately, "Xiaosha is my sunshine, when you are five hundred years old, I will go back to the underworld with you." ”
"Hehe......" I laughed dryly, it was really annoying.
"Lord Asker, the Queen Mother, please." Sammy hurried over. Recently, it seems that the Queen of Heaven has been meeting with Aske more and more often, but it is not surprising that the relationship between the Yan and Japanese has always been quite close. Asker's eyes darkened when he heard this, and a dark look was fleeting on his face, and he smiled and handed my hand to his lips and kissed him quickly, "Then it's decided, my future bride." ”
My future bride...... I suddenly remembered what Sanatus had said, and my heart moved slightly, and I didn't come back to my senses until Asker was long gone.
"He's gone." A familiar voice sounded behind me, and I turned around to see Shaka standing not far away with a nonchalant expression.
"Can you please stop being so sneaky." I'm a little displeased.
"Like him?" He suddenly asked without a head and a face.
"What if you like it, what if you don't like it?"
"If you don't like it, it's better, if you like it, forget about him as soon as possible."
"Who I like seems to be none of your business. Your Royal Highness, you should pay more attention to the matter of choosing a concubine, I saw it just now, all of them are big beauties. I quickly changed the subject, and he must be interested in this topic. However, since the last time I was accidentally bumped into it, it seems that he has hardly seen him take other women back to the palace, could it be that he only likes to be in the wild? Well, I'm thinking about something, and it seems that it's none of my business where he likes it......
"Why do you seem to want me to marry a concubine?" He asked faintly.
"Of course, isn't it good to have someone with you every day?"
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "As you wish." ”
On the day of Shaka's birthday, the heavenly realm was naturally very lively, and I also met the Hades and the Queen of Hades again, and seeing them in harmony, the stone in my heart was completely put down. As is customary, I sat down next to the Immortal couple.
"Iza how are you doing?" Elias looked at me gently.
I smiled and nodded, "Well, that's good, I love it here." ”
"Isha don't worry, when you are five hundred years old, your mother and I will take you back to the underworld." Elith patted me lightly on the shoulder.
"Father, actually, ......"
"You don't have to worry, Issa, Elith and I will always be your parents." Raya smiled and stroked my hair. Actually, I'm not going back. I hesitated, but still didn't say anything. Glancing at it, Asker, who was sitting on the right, was looking thoughtfully at his cup, strange, he also had such a distraction?
"Your Majesty, the princesses of all ethnic groups are already waiting outside the palace." With the announcement of the attendant, the emotions of everyone in the hall obviously rose immediately, and the climax that attracted the attention finally came.
"Your Majesty, this time I have to choose a suitable princess for His Highness Shaka." Yan Na smiled charmingly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's really exciting." The first concubine Kurunis also opened her mouth for the first time, this voice just came into my ears, my body shook suddenly, although it has been a long time, but this voice I have always remembered, if I remember correctly, the owner of this voice is cheating with Shaka in the wild...... I looked up in amazement and saw Shaka looking at me too.
I immediately lowered my head, but my heart began to beat wildly, there was such a thing, Shaka was too bold to dare to provoke his father's woman......
"Then let them in." The Heavenly Emperor smiled and waved his hand.
The door of the hall was slowly opened, and with a gust of rich incense wafting, dozens of beauties came in turn, and the seats let out the sound of inhaling one after another.
"Your Highness Shaka, this is Medeo, the daughter of the leader of the Yan Clan, Linga, and that is the ...... of the Moon Clan," Lord Kasan, who accompanied him, introduced them one by one. Before he could finish, Shaka slowly stood up and said slowly, "Let's all go down." ”
Kasan was stunned, apparently not reacting.
"My son, have you already chosen?" The Emperor of Heaven looked happy.
Shaka nodded expressionlessly.
"So, Your Highness, which one is it?" That's when Kasan reacted.
Shaka glanced down lightly, "My future princess—that's her." ”
My head suddenly dizzy, as I could clearly see that his golden eyes were firmly fixed on me. It's my delusion, it's an illusion......
"Lord Hades, if I want to marry your daughter, you have no opinion." His next words shattered my illusions.
There was silence in the hall, and everyone had not yet recovered from the shock.
Elisi's expression was complicated, and it took a long time before he said, "Shaka, you obviously know that Isha is you......"
"Shaka, you ......" The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven were also surprised.
"Because of this, I can't find a more suitable and perfect person for me than her." Shaka looked around coldly, "Isa, she originally belonged to me. No one deserves to have her but me. ”
The atmosphere in the main hall seemed to be strange, and countless strange eyes were focused on me.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood up, "Thank you Your Highness for your mistaken love, but I will return to the underworld with my father soon, so I really can't agree to marry." ”
A golden glint flashed in Shaka's eyes, and a dull pressure silently enveloped my body.
"She doesn't want to marry you, Your Highness Shaka." Asker, who was beside him, took a leisurely sip of wine and said with a smile, "Moreover, she has promised to marry me before." ”
I immediately heard a gasp around me. Anyway, this is the future Emperor of Heaven.
Before Shaka could speak, Yan Na suddenly laughed, "What's wrong?" That's a good thing. Iza is the daughter of Lord Hades, and Shaka is a match for her in terms of identity and appearance," she turned to Asker again, "Asker, you can't change this problem, and it's a joke at this time." ”
The smile on Asker's face froze, as if he was about to say something, but was stopped by Yan Na's eyes.
"Father, in fact, Freya's sister has always been in love with Lord Asker, so it is better to take advantage of today to match Freya to Lord Asker, so that Lord Asker will not make such a joke emptyly." Shaka raised his eyebrows, an unpredictable look flashed in his eyes, "The relationship between the Japanese and the Yan has always been close, Queen Mother, you will definitely approve of it." ”
Yan Na was just stunned, and immediately nodded with a smile, "Of course, of course I approve of ......"
The Emperor laughed happily, "Great, great, Shaka's proposal is great, Asker, I'll give you Freya today." He looked at me again, "Isha, come here." ”
I hesitated and didn't move, and then glanced at Asker beside me, his face was still calm, but there was an undercurrent in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, I can't marry Princess Freya." Asker stood up suddenly. I was slightly shocked in my heart, seeing that his expression was so dignified that he had never been before, could he ...... to me
Yan Na's face changed, and Asker was about to say more, but I quickly stood up and glanced at him, "Lord Asker, you're drunk." He looked at me, and suddenly a strange look passed through his eyes, and he did not speak again, but sat down, and stretched out his hand to have another glass of wine.
"Issa, come here." Yan Na seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and smiled slightly.
I looked at Eliez, and his face wasn't much better.
I sighed softly and walked to the Heavenly Emperor, he looked at me carefully, and couldn't help but nod again and again, "Sure enough, it's the best color that overpowers the Heavenly Realm, since Shaka likes you so much, I don't have anything to say, although ......" He seemed to stop talking, "Anyway, it's good if he likes it." ”
Why, everyone's words are so weird......
"Father...... "I set my sights on Hades.
"Shaka, you're right, she's yours to belong. But from the moment I raised her, she was my most cherished daughter, and now that she doesn't want to, I won't force her. My answer is that I won't agree unless Isha wants to. Elias regained his cold and noble form.
My heart is hot, and Hades is really a good father. But—what do you mean that I belong to him in the first place?
Shaka took a low sip of wine without changing his face, "Okay, I'll wait for Isa to marry me willingly." ”
"That's the best, but when Isa is five hundred years old, if she doesn't want to marry you by then, I'll still take her back to the underworld."
Shaka's eyes darkened, "One word is a certainty." “
I was overjoyed, I was only two months away from turning five hundred years old, how could I fall in love with him, that didn't mean I didn't have to marry him.
After the banquet, I saw off the Hades husband and wife, and the doubts in my heart resurfaced. Why did Hades have to wait until I was five hundred years old to take me back to the underworld? And why is everyone's attitude so strange? Everyone seems to be at a loss when it comes to these things, what secrets are being hidden from me? When I think of this, my heart feels as if it is scratched by countless little paws, and I am indescribably irritable.
"Asker, what happened to you?" Yan Na's voice suddenly came from behind a large tree next to her. When I heard Asker's name, I couldn't help but prick up my ears.
"I'm going to ask you what's wrong," Asker's tone wasn't very good, "and you agreed to marry Frena to me, as Shaka said." ”
"What's wrong with Frena, she's always liked you, and there's nothing wrong with you marrying her."
"I'm not going to marry her."
"Asker, do you know that today's behavior is very stupid, what happened to you, who are usually calm, how dare you disobey the orders of the Emperor of Heaven." Yan Na paused, "Do you really like that woman?" ”
"Yes, so I won't watch her marry Shaka. Although he had made an agreement with Hades that he could suspend for a while, he had always been a changeable person, and I was afraid that there would be extraneous complications at that time. ”
"Asker, you can like her." Yan Na lowered her voice, "But it can't affect our plans. ”
"Of course I understand." Asker's gentle voice suddenly turned cold, "Don't be in a hurry, you must be cautious." ”
My heart was shocked, plan? What kind of plans will Asker and Yanna have? He was true to me...... How so? I always thought he was messing around with me...... My heart was inexplicably uneasy, and for some reason, it felt as if something big was about to happen......
I seem to have heard something I shouldn't have heard again......
Just as I hesitated, their footsteps were already coming in my direction, and it was too late to escape, so I thought about it and simply closed my eyes.
"Asker!" Yan Na let out a low voice, "She's here!" ”
Aske seemed to bend down, and I felt his gaze lingering on my face. "She's asleep and won't hear anything."
"But if she hears it, we'll ......" Yan Na's voice revealed a hint of cruelty. My heart fluttered, and I suddenly remembered what I had seen in the hollow of the tree.
"Yan Na, don't hurt her, otherwise, the plan will be canceled." Asker's voice seemed to freeze a layer of frost.
"Asker, you ......" Yan Na didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
I had just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly I felt that my body was light, and I had been stopped by him and hugged me. I didn't dare to open my eyes, so I had to continue to pretend to be asleep.
"You can fall asleep that way." He said dotingly, his warm breath blowing on my face. I leaned into his arms and listened to his heartbeat, which I had never noticed before, that God's heartbeat seemed to be similar to that of a human being. His long silver hair floated down my cheeks from time to time, tickling me to sneeze.
No, hold back...... Can't he find out I'm awake so soon...... I can't bear ...... Endure......
"Ahh I finally fell short.
"Xiaosha, are you awake?" He looked at me with a look of joy on his face.
"I'm sleeping, why are you holding me?" I exclaimed, feigned surprise.
"I saw that you were asleep outside, so I wanted to carry you back and continue to let you sleep." He looked innocent.
"Then don't let me go yet."
"Okay." He said simply, as soon as I let go, my feet were numb and completely unconscious.
"Hey, what did you do?" I said angrily.
"Look, you can't go like this." He smiled and picked me up again, "Well, let me send you back." ”
"Asker, you owe ......"
"Huh."
"Then why don't you teleport so you can do it faster?"
"Teleportation, that kind of uninteresting and unimaginative spell, I don't want to use it." His hands tightened, and the smile on his lips became stronger, "Today, let's experience the warmth of human beings." ”
"Big brother, you don't want to walk to my place, do you?"
"Exactly."
Help me...... I suddenly miss the uninteresting and imaginative spells......
I don't know exactly when I got to my lodgings, but I only knew that by the time I got to the door, I had slept well enough.
"I said, you can let me go now." I've just slept twice, and I'm a little more confident when I speak.
"It's a short road." When he put me down, he still had a look on his face that couldn't get enough of it.
I sat on the ground and rubbed my numb legs, and finally regained consciousness, and I glared at him with disdain, relying on my divine power, taking advantage of the opportunity, hateful......
"What kind of eyes are these?" He smiled and bent down.
I continued to glare at him, "Hurry up and disappear in front of me." ”
"Xiao Sha is really ruthless, what do you say, I have walked so many roads with you, and the roads I have walked in tens of thousands of years are not as many as today." He narrowed his eyes.
"You brought it on yourself, otherwise what would you want." I patted my legs and tried to stand up.
He suddenly pressed my shoulder slightly, starlight glittered in his silver eyes, and his voice became inexplicably hoarse, "At least—express your gratitude." As soon as the words fell, he lowered his head and kissed my lips, boldly knocked open my lips that were not closed, and abruptly probed the tip of his wet and silky tongue, tossing and turning repeatedly, gently but unbridledly exploring every sensitive nerve between my lips and teeth.
His lips were burning, unlike the coldness of Sanatus......
After reacting and pushing him away, I didn't know what to say for a moment. He tilted his head slightly, but saw a long shadow not far away.
I was amazed to see that Shaka was leaning against the walls of the palace, looking at us coldly.
Asker was apparently aware of his presence as well, but didn't react, just smiled at me. "Xiao Sha, let's go and rest early."
"No need for your kindness." I stood up, surprised at my calmness.
"Little yarn," he suddenly grabbed my hand and shoved something into my hand. I looked down and saw that it was a necklace with an ice-blue gemstone set on it, and this gemstone ...... It seems like déjà vu......
"Xiao Sha, this is the blue stone of my Japanese clan, only my future wife can have it, I ......"
My heart tightened, and I didn't look at it carefully, and immediately stuffed the necklace back into his hand, "Then keep it for your future wife." After saying that, I didn't look at his expression, turned around and walked into the palace.
A lot really happened today, I tossed and turned in bed for a while, and I still fell asleep in a daze. I've been in a light sleep because I've had enough sleep.
Half-asleep, I felt someone walk into my room and sit next to me.
"Isa......" The man suddenly called in a low voice, and my body tightened, yes - Shaka. What is he doing in my room so late?
His fingers gently traced a clear line on my lips, moving down little by little, sliding over my chin and neck, and my hand stopped him from descending further in time. Now, I can't pretend to be asleep.
"Your Highness, I don't think you have forgotten your agreement with my father." I looked at him coldly.
His rich, brilliant blonde hair was dazzlingly golden in the dark.
"Of course I haven't forgotten." A strange smile suddenly appeared on his face, "Sure enough, it's my Issa, even Aske obediently bowed down at your feet." However," his expression immediately returned to his usual indifference, and he slowly got up, "Issa, what belongs to me, I will never give it to others again." ”
Watching his back disappear, my heart is getting more and more confused, what does it mean that I won't give it to others again? Why, everyone here is weird? Everyone here, it seems, has a secret?
