The East Styx can't guess. Or maybe he didn't dare to guess the purpose of Feng Xi's appointment to meet him. But. Anyway. As long as Feng Xi is willing to see him. And. This time, she took the initiative to meet him. This is already a ...... Progressive.

Whatever her purpose. At least. She was willing to take the initiative to meet him. Ignore him no more.

Does this mean that the relationship between her and him is gradually improving?

"Are you curious why I asked you out today?" Feng Xi took a sip of tea elegantly and put down the cup. Finally he spoke." I like to deal with smart people. I won't delay you and me today. Long story short."

Dongfang Shentian's expression was awe-inspiring. A soft "oh". Leaned forward slightly. I'm not in a hurry. Xi'er might as well take her time. I'm going to listen."

He didn't want to interrupt her. Can. I don't know why. He just couldn't help it. He didn't want this hard-won meeting to end so briefly and abruptly.

Feng Xi frowned slightly. A low, almost inaudible sigh. Finally too lazy to bother with him on a title." Meet you this time. There's a deal I want to talk to about with the Prince of Hades. I don't know what you think."

"Oh." Dongfang Shentian raised an eyebrow. Suddenly I became interested." What a deal." He wasn't interested in that deal. All he was interested in was that Xi'er would come to him to negotiate a deal.

"I think the Prince of Hades will be interested. This deal is for you. There is no harm in doing it." Of course. This may just be Feng Xi's unilateral idea. Maybe. People don't think like this at all, maybe it's true.

"Hmm." Dongfang Shentian smiled and said, "Let's hear it."

Feng Xi's white jade fingers stroked the pattern on the outer wall of the teacup. The corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile. It's hard to guess what's going on in her mind. It's been a long time. I only heard her cold voice and said, "I know that the Emperor of the Underworld has been incognito for many years. Stoop to the General's Mansion. Just to reserve enough strength to one day get back what is rightfully your own. Avenge your mother's blood and revenge."

The Oriental Stygian raised one side with long eyebrows. He looked at her with a smile. Motioned for her to continue.

He should have thought of it a long time ago. There's nothing in this world that she doesn't know. Only things she doesn't want to know. She's going to be able to say that today. You must have done your homework and prepared. She was sure he wouldn't turn her down. Even if. She doesn't say that. He couldn't refuse her.

If he had rejected her here today. He believes. What she's going to do. There is no him. She'll definitely do it too. And he. But you will lose her completely. So. At all costs. He would promise her. As long as they reach a partnership. I'm afraid they won't have a chance to get along in the future. When the time comes. As long as he uses more snacks. Someday she can get her heart back.

Dongfang Shentian quickly clarified the stakes in his heart. I made up my mind secretly. But there was no emotion on his face.

"Xi'er. I'm afraid you won't help me unconditionally. How can you do things that are not good for you? Let's talk about it. What conditions do you have for me?"

Feng Xi smiled. "I'll just say you're smart." She paused slightly. I really won't help you unconditionally. The relationship between you and me is not so intimate that I can help you unconditionally. But. I still want to hear your answer first. is promised to me. Still don't agree. If promised. I'll go on. If you don't agree. I don't need to say any more."

"Xi'er. You haven't even said your conditions. I will promise you. Isn't that hard for a strong man?" Dongfang Mingtian smiled. It's not fair to me."

She seemed to have expected him to say that. The smile on her beautiful face remains the same. Noncommittal and said, "I also know that this is indeed difficult for some strong people. I don't force you. I'll give you three days. You think about it first. Come back to me after thinking about it. But ......"

She smiled. I seem to have thought of something." There are not many people in this world who have such lofty ambitions as the Emperor of the Underworld." The implication. It's that you don't agree. I can also go to someone else.

"That's what Xi'er said." Dongfang Hades is not angry. He looked at Feng Xi with a smile. I can't take your words as a threat."

When does it start. His Xi'er is also starting to learn to play tricks on him. But...... He likes it. He likes her to play a little tricky in front of him once in a while. He loved to see the cunning that flashed in her peerless glass eyes.

"Of course not." Her tone was light. But he said a little domineeringly." It's not fair for you to say that. I'm not threatening you. I'm just telling the truth. Don't. The Prince of Hades thinks. You're the only one who has that ambition."

"I ......"

"The Prince of Hades seems to have forgotten. Seventeen years ago, the bloody battle of Yan Guo was not alive in front of you and me. Bloody and ironclad evidence. If it weren't for the ambition of kings in their hearts. How could they listen to a baseless rumor and destroy the whole country of Yan?"

When Feng Xi said this. The tone is cold. Without a hint of emotional ups and downs. Dongfang Mingtian carefully saw the kind of hard in her eyes. Hate that goes deep into the marrow. It was a different kind of hatred for her than for him.

Dongfang Shentian's heart moved. Once that not-so-certain speculation. Again comes to mind. This time. He's even sure of it. His speculation is not ridiculous. Unfounded.

And when he asked the emperor to marry her. Part of the reason is also because of that speculation.

"Could it be ......" Dongfang Shentian slowly spoke. The low, magnetic voice carried a hint of uncertainty. You are the purple-eyed princess who was born in Yan Guo, whose whereabouts are unknown in that bloody battle."

Feng Xi smiled. The smile was only on the surface. There was only a bone-chilling chill in his eyes." I'm meeting you today. Ben didn't even think to hide it from you. Be. You're right. I am indeed the purple-eyed princess who should not die. Oriental Stygian. By now you should understand. Why am I meeting you today? And what are my conditions. Clever as you. I'm sure you already have the answer in mind."

Her voice was as cold as ice. Dongfang Shentian couldn't help but lose his mind a little. Looking at the thick murderous aura that instantly flashed on her beautiful face. Outright hatred. His heart clenched involuntarily. He. I feel sorry for her. He can empathize with that unforgettable hatred.

Just as he had seen her mother die so horribly. It was also in that moment. His little heart was filled with hatred. From now on. His heart is full of deep marrow. Hatred blended into the blood and bones. I can't hold anything else.

Until. At the age of fifteen. That's the same with him. The same indifferent little girl. Unconsciously quietly dwelled in his heart. Until then. There was something other than hatred in his heart. Many years later. He just understood. That kind of affection is called love.
