Chapter 684: Tribe Chief Here Again

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The princess of the Saint Divine Land was also the representative of the Saint Divine Land. Normally, they would never approve of such a deal – that was a humiliation for themselves!

However, things were different.

Zhou Huailing looked at the fierce and agile animal next to Xuan Lin… they were going to get five of them for just one princess, that would not be a big deal at all! Xuan Lin was not going to be too harsh about it either, right? What he needed was just to save his own face.

After a moment of hesitation Zhou Huailing nodded. “Okay, that is the deal.”

Xuan Lin smiled brightly, and wildly. He showed a very unfathomable look in Zhou Huailing’s eyes.

“Mu Rong, go and write the letter. Lord Ling is so fast about the decision, then we should be fast too.” Xuan Lin said.

Mu Rong nodded, but showed no other expression. He left for his business directly.

Zhou Huailing felt slightly assured. He was wearing a smile as he looked at Xuan Lin’s mount.

He could not help but ask, “Prince, how much longer do we need to wait until they arrive?”

“If we work fast, they can arrive before the New Year, or you can get it before the Spring Hunt at the latest,” Xuan Lin said.

Zhou Huailing’s smile was even brighter. He was full of expectation.

When Xuan Lin finished writing the letter, Zhou Huailing hurried back to the court.

He was still wearing a smile as he returned to the Qianqing Palace.

The King, who had been feeling distressed, felt glad seeing Zhou Huailing’s expression. He asked, “Ling, how did it go?”

Zhou Huailing smiled. He drank a cup of tea and said, “I saw the magical monster. It is a wonderful thing! It can be ridden and behave ferociously, it is fast too. It is a mighty figure too and it only obeys the master’s order. With such things with us, we do not even need to have any guards with us. The monster can kill many people! That is a great deal we have made!”

The King’s eyes sparkled.

If that was true… Five of such things were indeed enough.

“But father, what Xuan Lin means is that our princess will not become the Princess Consort, and he will have the say of what position she will have. I said yes, because for the five magical monsters, we can definitely say yes,” Zhou Huailing said directly.

What?! Not the Princess Consort?

The King was startled, not looking well.

Only Xunyang was old enough to marry the Prince, since he was already in the capital and it was impossible to get another princess to replace the real one. In that case, Xunyang was going to be totally humiliated.

The King was feeling quite dissatisfied. “How could you have said yes so easily?”

Zhou Huailing was baffled. What was that reaction?

He thought for a while, “Father, we have to say yes. The mount is really excellent. Just think about it, we have a huge plan for our future, and we should not be limited just for the sake of one princess! We have to give up something for the whole land!”

Only then did the King calm down.

True… He had his ambitions, so he had to give up something.

When Xunyang was married, he could get her plenty of dowries. Xuan Lin was the prince, and he was going to become the King, so Xunyang was going to have a position after all.

The King thought about the idea and spoke a few more words with Zhou Huailing before letting him leave the court.
