On the top floor of the Welcoming Divine Pavilion, the Western Continent Emperor stood up, looking earnestly at Fang Zixi. “Palace Master Fang, there is no one else here, so I will speak frankly.”
“Many years ago, the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. I know you may not like me, but that doesn’t matter.”
Fang Zixi fell into prolonged silence upon hearing this. After a while, her red lips parted, and her heavenly voice emerged. “To be honest, I am indeed unwell and need your help.”
“And I do not like you. If you can help me, once I am well, we can be united forever. What do you think?”
The Western Continent Emperor shook his head, saying, “I will help you, but I’m sorry, I have liked you for so long and truly wish you could give me a chance to take care of you.”
Fang Zixi had anticipated this response. She replied, “Alright, I can agree to marry you, but I have two conditions.”
Upon hearing this, the Western Continent Emperor's eyes revealed unmistakable excitement. “Speak.”
Fang Zixi stated, “First, we will get engaged.”
“Second, if one day the Elysium Sect truly intends to attack my Heavenly Gate Divine Palace, we will marry then.”
After hearing this, the Western Continent Emperor mused, “Her intention is clear; she wants to use our engagement to deter the Elysium Sect. As long as the Elysium Sect doesn’t act, I will never be able to marry her.”
“As for women, I cannot push her too hard. Once we are engaged, I have countless ways to make her my woman.”
Thinking this, the Western Continent Emperor said, “Palace Master Fang is right; I genuinely want to treat you well. I will follow your arrangements.”
“And what you said is normal; your two conditions should not be just these, right?”
“Hmm.” Fang Zixi replied, “As a prerequisite for engagement, you must let those from your Western Continent Ancestral Dynasty who enter the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb help me find the Pure Yang Divine Herb.”
“I will stay here until the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb training is over. Once we obtain the Pure Yang Divine Herb, we will immediately get engaged and announce it to the world.”
Upon hearing this, the Western Continent Emperor said, “Alright! This is no problem. Although the Pure Yang Divine Herb is unearthed once every eighty million years and only stays for an hour, it is extremely hard to find, but I will definitely find it.”
“Now, speak of the second condition.”
Fang Zixi nodded and said, “After engagement, you cannot touch me without my permission.”
“No problem.” The Western Continent Emperor replied sincerely, “Since I like you, I will respect you. Even without you saying so, I will do this.”
“Thank you.” Fang Zixi said, “I am not feeling well and a bit tired. Please prepare a guest room for me to rest. Call me when the Heaven Devouring Divine Tomb opens.”
“Alright, please follow me.” The Western Continent Emperor said.
Then, the Western Continent Emperor attentively prepared a palace for Fang Zixi to stay in temporarily.
Meanwhile, the Nine-headed Ancestor Dragon and Chu Xiaotian left the Western Continent Ancestral City to return to the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace to oversee matters.
The two did not go to the Seventh Princess's Residence to find Dao Kun to return with them since Dao Kun is the dignified leader of the Four Arts Star Domain, and he has his own freedom.
At the same time, Dao Kun arrived at the Seventh Princess's Residence, stating he wanted to find Xiao Zhang.
“Xiao Zhang, there is a distinguished guest looking for you.”
In the Fang Sheng Hall, Tan Yun, who was in seclusion, heard Guan Feng's voice from outside the hall.
“Okay, Steward.” Tan Yun responded, leaving the Fang Sheng Hall, and after putting the hall into the Ancestral Ring, he stepped out of the building, looking at Guan Feng and asking, “Steward, who is the distinguished guest?”
“It is the Dao Kun supreme saint elder from the Heavenly Gate Divine Palace.” Guan Feng replied.
