“Uncle Chu, please share your thoughts,” Fang Zixi said.
Chu Xiaotian replied honestly, “Palace Master, the matter of the marriage alliance is of great importance. We cannot take it lightly.”
Chu Xiaotian replied earnestly, “Palace Master, the matter of the marriage alliance is significant. Setting aside your happiness, there are only benefits and no drawbacks.”
“If we are to proceed with the marriage, the only thing to be cautious of is preventing the Western Continent Emperor from seizing the opportunity to swallow our Heavenly Gate Divine Palace.”
Fang Zixi’s stunning face turned pale as paper. “Does Uncle Chu mean to say that you agree with the marriage alliance?”
“What can I do if I don’t agree?” Chu Xiaotian sighed, “Should I watch you die?”
“If you don’t pursue the marriage, my disciples in the palace cannot enter the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb to find the Pure Yang Divine Herb for you, to suppress your Fiery Heart Poison Fire!”
“Zixi, I need to ask you something, and you must answer truthfully.”
Fang Zixi nodded, “Uncle, please go ahead.”
“Do you have someone you like?” Chu Xiaotian asked.
“I…” Fang Zixi bit her red lips, revealing a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes. “I once had feelings for someone, but unfortunately, he is no longer here.”
“What do you mean he is no longer here?” Chu Xiaotian asked, confused.
“He has died,” Fang Zixi said. “Uncle, my heart is in turmoil; let me think carefully.”
“Hmm.” Chu Xiaotian said, “Oh right, how much longer can you suppress your Fiery Heart Poison Fire?”
“About fifty thousand years,” Fang Zixi replied.
Hearing this, Chu Xiaotian seemed to realize something, and a deep sadness appeared in his murky eyes. “Moreover, you also bear the heavy responsibility of avenging your kin.”
“Zixi, after all, the Northern Divine Domain is your home. The Northern Sovereign Emperor and the various powers from the Northern Continent joined forces to destroy your clan. Your father sacrificed everything to bring you out of the Northern Divine Domain. Although he did not want you to seek revenge, can you really not avenge this?”
Tears stained Fang Zixi’s eyes. “Uncle is right, I cannot die. Only by living can I take revenge and return to my hometown!”
“That’s right!” Chu Xiaotian said. “Zixi, Uncle has a plan. Are you willing to listen?”
“Please speak, Uncle,” Fang Zixi responded.
Chu Xiaotian’s murky eyes sparkled with wisdom as he said solemnly, “Before the trials in the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb begin, we will do everything possible to heal you.”
“If we still cannot cure you at that time, you can propose a condition to the Western Continent Emperor, asking him to command the disciples entering the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb to find the Pure Yang Divine Herb for you. Once you obtain the Pure Yang Divine Herb, you will agree to marry the Western Continent Emperor.”
“The marriage agreement will state that if the Elysium Sect ever intends to unify the Western Continent Divine Domain, then you will marry at that time.”
“If the Elysium Sect does not attack our Heavenly Gate Divine Palace, then the engagement will be dissolved, and we will form an alliance instead.”
“In this way, he will definitely agree; this is just the first point.”
“The second point is, if the Elysium Sect truly wants to attack our Heavenly Gate Divine Palace, then you will marry the Western Continent Emperor and take the opportunity to destroy the Elysium Sect.”
“Besides, the Western Continent Emperor’s intention to marry you must be related to the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace, while your purpose in marrying him is to gather strength and plot, using the Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty to one day invade the Northern Divine Domain and avenge your father and kin!”
“Of course, this is just the worst-case scenario. You think the Western Continent Emperor is also a fierce hero; if he treats you sincerely, and you develop feelings for him over time, wouldn’t that be a win-win situation? You can take revenge and also find a good place to belong. If your father is watching from above, he would also be at ease.”
