Sending off the daughter Xue Ke! The Thousand-Ren Snowman is numb!
Secondly, she was a concubine, not a principal wife.
This is more of a show of weakness, a way of ingratiating oneself.
This shows that Xueye dared not stand on equal footing with him, dared not hope for an equal marriage, and only wanted to use her daughter to exchange for temporary peace.
Ultimately, it all boils down to three words.
He was scared.
He was terrified by the method of breaching the city in seven days.
He was terrified that Tang Qing's next target would be his Heavenly Dou City.
Therefore, he dared not be an enemy of Tang Qing, nor did he dare to show any hostility. He could only use this method to show goodwill.
Of course, Tang Qing was also aware that this gesture of goodwill was only temporary.
If a better opportunity arises in the future, or if the Spirit Hall takes action against him, that old fox Xue Ye will definitely stab him in the back without hesitation.
However, this "gift" is acceptable for now.
really.
Seeing that Tang Qing remained silent for a long time, Xue Ke, who was standing to the side, mustered up her courage and added another sentence.
"Blue Silver King, Father... Father also said..."
"The entire Star Luo Empire that you have conquered can be... can be your fiefdom. The Heaven Dou Empire will not interfere."
...
Let's rewind to a few days ago.
Deep within the imperial palace of Tiandou City.
The Emperor was sitting in his study, reviewing a mountain of memorials.
The hall was deathly silent.
Prince Xuexing stumbled in, his face drained of all color.
"Your Majesty! Something terrible has happened!"
His voice trembled, choked with sobs, as if the sky had fallen.
Emperor Xueye, seated high on his dragon throne, frowned.
"What kind of behavior is this, all flustered and disrespectful!"
Prince Xuexing suddenly knelt down and roared with all his might.
"Star Luo City...Star Luo City was breached overnight!"
"What?!"
Emperor Xueye suddenly stood up from his dragon throne, his body swaying violently beneath his dragon robe.
Prince Xuexing's voice, like a deadly curse, continued to echo in the empty hall.
"Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire is dead!"
"Prince Davis is dead too!"
"Royal relatives and high-ranking nobles were all slaughtered!"
boom!
Emperor Xueye felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind, and stars were flashing before his eyes.
His legs buckled, and he tumbled down the steps next to the dragon throne with a thud.
His golden crown was askew, his dragon robe was disheveled, and he looked as pathetic as a stray dog.
"No...it's impossible..."
His lips trembled, and his cloudy eyes were filled with terror and disbelief.
"That's absolutely impossible!"
He muttered to himself, as if trying to convince himself.
"Overnight? They captured the capital of the Star Luo Empire?"
"That's Xingluo City! A fortified city!"
"From Blue Silver City in the North to Star Luo City, the distance is more than ten thousand miles!"
"How could Tang Qing... how could he possibly have carried out such a stunning surprise attack in just seven days without anyone noticing?!"
Emperor Xueye's body trembled violently, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
A thought that sent shivers down his spine began to grow wildly.
This means that the man named Tang Qing could also appear in the imperial palace of Tiandou City overnight.
This means that his own head could be easily severed by the other party at any time, just like Dai Tianfeng's!
The shadow of death loomed over his heart like never before.
The Snow Night Emperor was utterly terrified.
He struggled, using his last bit of strength, and roared at the stunned civil and military officials.
"Issue my decree!"
"Blue Silver King, you can only befriend him, never be his enemy!"
"We'll give him whatever he wants! Whatever he wants!"
"And Xue Ke too!"
"Quickly! Immediately! Right now! Send Xue Ke to Star Luo City! Offer her to the Blue Silver King as a concubine!"
"Go now!!"
---
Let's turn back to the present.
Tang Qing sat high on the dragon throne that once belonged to Dai Tianfeng, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest.
Before him stood Princess Xue Ke of the Heavenly Dou Empire, her beautiful eyes filled with anticipation and shyness.
Tang Qing's gaze was indifferent as he looked her up and down.
She is reasonably attractive and has a slender figure.
Princess Tiandou's status does indeed qualify her for the position of a concubine.
Now that the Star Luo Kingdom has been established, the Spirit Hall is eyeing it covetously, and that old fellow Tang Chen has disappeared without a trace, making the situation indeed complicated.
The Heavenly Dou Empire cannot be touched for the time being.
Since the old man on the snowy night was so sensible as to offer his daughter as a gesture of goodwill...
I will give him some dignity.
Accepting Xue Ke will appease Tian Dou and allow me to focus on conquering Xing Luo's territory.
As for the future...
If, when the enemy army were to invade later, he were spared his life on that snowy night, it would be considered the greatest act of kindness and righteousness.
Thinking of this, a barely perceptible curve appeared at the corner of Tang Qing's indifferent lips.
He nodded slightly.
"I grant your permission."
Those four short words were like heavenly music, instantly making Xue Ke's pretty face turn bright red.
Her eyes were brimming with uncontrollable ecstasy, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.
Oh my god!
This is the Blue Silver King!
He single-handedly overthrew the empire and was hailed as the strongest, most handsome, and most mysterious man on the continent!
On the Douluo Continent, countless women regard him as their dream lover!
And she was about to become his woman!
Marshal Goron, who was standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease.
Excellent, I can now return and report to His Majesty.
"Your Highness, the Blue Silver King, this humble general shall take his leave now."
Golong bowed respectfully and tactfully withdrew from the main hall.
Xue Ke was overjoyed. She turned around and ran to her "brother" Xue Qinghe, gently shaking his arm.
The girl exudes youthful energy, and her long, slender legs are faintly visible beneath her princess dress, possessing a fatal allure.
"Brother! Why aren't you happy for me?"
On Xue Qinghe's handsome face, the smile was stiff, like a mask.
His heart was bleeding.
He, or rather "she," Qian Renxue, was also deeply infatuated with the domineering and unparalleled man before her!
She even fantasized about conquering him with her own hands one day!
But now, his own sister has beaten him to it!
"I...I was just afraid you would be wronged."
Xue Qinghe squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse.
Upon hearing this, Xue Ke shook her head happily, a bright smile spreading across her face.
"I'm not wronged! Not at all!"
"Being able to marry the Blue Silver King is the greatest blessing Xue Ke could ever have!"
These words, like the sharpest knife, pierced Qian Renxue's heart.
She felt like she was having trouble breathing.
The man who started all of this, the one who ignited the invisible conflict between the sisters, simply sat on the dragon throne.
Tang Qing picked up the fragrant tea offered by the maid and gently blew away the wisps of steam rising from the rim of the cup.
His thoughts had already drifted far away.
Spirit Hall...
Tang Chen...
With my current strength, having fused with the life source's torso and soul bones, and comprehended two "evolution" divine skills, I am no longer inferior to that old fellow.
Even if it were the so-called invincible Sendou Ryu himself who came...
What do I, the king, have to fear?
