Chapter 214: Harsh Conditions

The Water Emperor glanced at Hongjin: "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." ”

"Huh...... I believe in the power of my father. Hongjin smiled: "As long as my father comes out, Sister Gu will definitely marry me!"

The Water Emperor shook his head helplessly: "You kid, you will be a sycophant." After saying that, the Water Emperor turned around and walked towards Gu Xiang.

Hongjin hurried to follow.

"Gu Daoyou, I can give you the Nine Qu Lingzhi, but I have one condition. The Water Emperor said.

"Your Majesty the Water Emperor, please speak, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse. Gu Xiang nodded.

"Gu Daoyou, I hope you can marry Hongjin. The Water Emperor stated his conditions.

Gu Xiang's face suddenly sank: "Your Majesty the Water Emperor, you're not joking with me!"

Li Tianqi, who was standing on the side, suddenly became anxious, stretched out his hand and pointed at the Water Emperor, and scolded: "You want your mother-in-law to marry your son, but there is no door!"

The Water Emperor glanced at Li Tianqi: "A junior dares to shout at me! I really don't know whether I live or die!" As he spoke, the Water Emperor's sleeves waved violently, and a hurried wind rose from the ground, directly towards Li Tianqi.

Gu Xiang's body flashed, blocking in front of Li Tianqi, and with a slight wave of his hand, he scattered the rushing wind.

A fine light flashed in the Water Emperor's eyes: "Gu Daoyou, are you fighting against me!"

Gu Xiang shook his head: "Your Majesty the Water Emperor, Li Tianqi is just a junior, I hope you will raise your noble hand and don't worry about him." ”

Then. Hongjin also stepped forward to persuade the Water Emperor: "Father, you dissipate your anger...... It's not worth being angry with a little person...... "Hongjin doesn't care about Li Tianqi's life or death, what he cares about is Gu Xiang." He didn't want to let the Water Emperor fight with Gu Xiang because of a trivial matter, no matter who lost the result, Hongjin couldn't accept it, one was a father, the other was a beloved woman, Hongjin was really conflicted in his heart.

Under Hongjin's persuasion, the Water Emperor's face softened a little: "Gu Daoyou." Today, for your sake, I'll let that kid go, but only once. If that kid dares to speak to me again, I'll take his life!"

Li Tianqi's face was dark and gloomy, and his chest was bulging with anger.

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Water Emperor!" Gu Xiang thanked him, and then glanced back at Li Tianqi: "Don't make trouble anymore!"

The corners of Li Tianqi's mouth twitched: "Mother-in-law." They ......"

"Shut up!" Gu Xiang snorted softly, "From now on." You are not allowed to say another word!" After speaking, Gu Xiang no longer paid attention to Li Tianqi, but turned his head to look at the Water Emperor: "Your Majesty the Water Emperor, the conditions you put forward are too embarrassing for me, I hope you can change the conditions." ”

The Water Emperor shook his head: "Ancient Daoist, if I promise to give you the Nine Songs Lingzhi, I have already broken the rules of the Water Tribe, if you don't give me some compensation." It's hard for me to explain to my people. The meaning in the Water Emperor's words is very simple, as long as Gu Xiang agrees to marry Hongjin. That is the daughter-in-law of the Water Emperor, and she can be regarded as half of the Water Tribe, and when the Water Emperor gives Jiuqu Lingzhi to Gu Xiang as a dowry, the people of the Water Tribes will not have much opinion.

"Mother-in-law...... I can't promise ......," Li Tianqi said hurriedly.

The Water Emperor's soothing face tightened again, and he said in a cold tone: "Gu Daoyou, the people of your Lingshan don't understand the rules very much. ”

Hongjin's eyes looking at Li Tianqi were also full of coldness.

Gu Xiang did something that surprised everyone, only to see her wave her hand casually, and knocked Li Tianqi out.

"Whoosh!" Li Tianqi slammed on the gate of the palace, his mouth opened, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, 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 say more, I will expel you from Lingshan!" Gu Xiang said word by word.

Li Tianqi opened his mouth, but finally 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 again.

Gu Xiang glanced at Li Tianqi deeply, and then turned around: "Your Majesty the Water Emperor, in terms of seniority, I am the predecessor of Hongjin, in terms of age, I am several times that of Hongjin, do you think I am suitable for Hongjin?"

"I don't care!" Hongjin hurriedly said: "Sister Gu, I don't care about your age, really, I don't care at all, as for seniority...... I know that my cultivation is low in my heart, but I will work hard to cultivate and try to catch up as soon as possible!"

The Water Emperor opened his mouth and said: "Seniority and age are not important to me, the important thing is that Hongjin likes you, Gu Daoyou, you don't know, since you left the Red Sea last time, Hongjin is like losing your soul, and you have been listless for a long time, if I hadn't stopped you, Hongjin would have gone to look for you a long time ago...... Gu Daoyou, Hongjin really likes you very much, I will have a son in Hongjin, and Hongjin will inherit my throne in the future and become the next Water Emperor, if Gu Daoyou marries my son, then you will be the queen in the future!"

Gu Xiang shook his head: "I'm not interested in the title of queen at all. ”

The Water Emperor frowned: "Gu Daoyou, are you rejecting me?"

"Your Majesty the Water Emperor, I am really not suitable for Hongjin. Gu Xiang said.

"It's not suitable now, it doesn't mean it's not suitable in the future, Gu Daoyou, don't you look down on my son?" said the Water Emperor with a gloomy face.

"His Majesty the Water Emperor misunderstood, Hongjin is very good, I admire him, but I don't have any feelings for Hongjin......" Gu Xiang said.

The Water Emperor waved his hand: "Feelings can be cultivated!" Gu Daoyou, I don't have the heart to waste time with you, you just give me a happy word, do you agree, or refuse?"

Gu Xiang was silent, it was absolutely impossible for her to marry Hongjin, but she couldn't say anything if she refused, because once she refused, she wouldn't be able to get Jiuqu Lingzhi, what should I do? Gu Xiang lived so much, she had never been so contradictory to today.

Seeing that the scene was stiff, Hongjin had to come out to play a round: "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, Gu Daoyou, I'll give you three days to think about it, and after three days, I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer, Hongjin, you can take Gu Daoyou down to rest." ”

"Yes. Hongjin nodded, and made an inviting gesture to Gu Xiang: "Sister Gu, I'll send you to rest!"

Gu Xiang's lips moved, and finally she didn't say anything more, turned around and followed Hongjin out of the palace.

Li Tianqi lowered his head and followed behind Gu Xiang without saying a word, since he was beaten by Gu Xiang, Li Tianqi became silent.

"Sister Gu, my father speaks relatively straightforwardly, don't be angry. Hongjin said.

"I'm not angry. Gu Xiang shook her head.

"Sister Gu, I'm sincere to you...... You'll just give me a chance......" Before Hongjin could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Xiang.

"Hongjin, I don't want to discuss this with you now, didn't you give me three days to think about it, and after three days, I will give you an answer!" Gu Xiang said lightly.

"Uh...... Good ......" Hongjin smiled and changed the subject: "Sister Gu, do you see the grandeur of these palace constructions?"

Gu Xiang nodded: "It's magnificent." "The palaces are one after the other, endlessly, as far as the eye can see, there is no end in sight, and above all the palaces there is a layer of transparent light shield, and the sea water is all isolated from the outside by the light mask, so the palace is all vacuum, and there is not a drop of sea water.

This aquarium is really powerful, and it can even arrange such a powerful array at the bottom of the sea.

Hongjin talked a lot, chattering non-stop along the way, Gu Xiang basically listened, rarely expressed his opinions, only when Hongjin asked, Gu Xiang did not respond salty, it can be seen that Gu Xiang does not have much good impression of Hongjin.

All the way twists and turns, and finally Hongjin led Gu Xiang and Li Tianqi into a small palace.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" the palace maids and guards knelt down and saluted together.

Hongjin waved his hand: "No courtesy!"

"Your Royal Highness Prince Xie!" the maid and the guards got up from the ground.

Hongjin pointed at Gu Xiang and said, "This is a distinguished guest, you must take care of it, did you hear it?"

"Yes!" replied the maids and guards in unison.

"Sister Gu, I'll take you around, there is a garden behind this palace......" Hongjin Xian said courteously.

"No, I'm a little tired and want to rest. Gu Xiang lightly rejected Hongjin's kindness.

"Uh...... That's okay, Sister Gu, you can rest, I'll come to see you tomorrow. After saying that, Hongjin left, and before leaving, he told the maids and guards again, telling them to take care of Gu Xiang, and if they were offended, they would not be spared!

Gu Xiang glanced back at the maids and guards standing around: "You all 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, get out now. Gu Xiang's tone was a little indifferent.

The maids and guards were in a bit of a quandary.

"Get out!" Gu Xiang's tone was aggravated: "If Hongjin blames you, just say that I let you out!"

Seeing that Gu Xiang was angry, these maids and guards didn't dare to say more, and they all left the palace with their heads down.

Li Tianqi stood quietly to the side and didn't say a word.

Gu Xiang glanced back at Li Tianqi: "Are you still angry with me?"

Li Tianqi was stunned for a moment, and 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, I saw you endure the oppression of the other party in order to save me...... I ...... in my heart It's hard to ......."

"You have a good conscience. Gu Xiang laughed.

"Of course I have a conscience, mother-in-law, let's get out of here!" Li Tianqi said: "Jiuqu Lingzhi doesn't want it, it's a big deal, I'll be a waste person in my life, and I can't let my mother-in-law suffer the slightest grievance!" (To be continued......)
