Chapter 1836: Chapter 1836 A Beautiful Assistant
"There’s another message from Prince Liang," the messenger added as he took out a jade token from his robe.
"Princess He Lianxiu will be seeking her potential suitors at the Gruidae Tower tomorrow evening, and this token will serve as your invitation to participate!"
"What? A martial competition for marriage prospects? I will never sign up for this. Why do you give me the token?" Ye Liuyun asked, perplexed.
The soldier smiled awkwardly before he answered. "Well, Prince Liang instructed me to sign you up and ask that you attend. He said it’s for your own good."
Ye Liuyun looked shocked. Without further ado, the messenger thrust the token into his hand and walked away.
"Hey." Ye Liuyun attempted to call him back, but he received no response.
Ye Liuyun turned to Xuan Yuanling and asked, "What does this mean?"
Xuan Yuanling understood right away and retorted in irritation. "Isn’t it obvious? Prince Liang has taken a liking to you and wants you to be his son-in-law! He even had the messenger come here to deliver the message, hinting at me to keep my distance and not jeopardize your prospects!"
After she said her piece, she furiously turned around and stormed away.
"Huh?" Ye Liuyun was even more baffled.
He muttered to himself, "So, Prince Liang knows me? Why would he want me to be his son-in-law?"
Liao Zhishi didn’t seem keen to participate in the conflict. Hence, Ye Liuyun didn’t linger and bowed politely to bid him goodbye.
Ye Liuyun felt that it would be awkward to linger around. Therefore, he chose to return to his camp. At this time, his clone was begging for mercy from Man Shu and Hua Xiangyuan in the spatial world.
"Judging by the speed at which Prince Liang is promoting you, it seems likely he wants you to be his son-in-law!" Hua Xiangyuan surmised.
However, she also added, "That’s good news! He Lianxiu is considered one of the four great beauties! "If you marry her, me, Xiao Yunfang, and Xuan Yuanling, you’d have all four of Regalty’s greatest beauties!"
"Hahaha! You are sure a troublemaker." Ye Liuyun suddenly realized that Hua Xiangyuan was quite similar to Lei Ming.
If he asked Lei Ming the same question, he believed Lei Ming would undoubtedly answer the same way.
Man Shu, on the other hand, would only offer him comfort, not advice.
Ye Liuyun helplessly went to look for Xiao Yunfang.
"I never expected it to be Prince Liang who promoted you!" Xiao Yunfang felt rather disheartened when she heard it.
She recently discovered that Ye Liuyun possessed superior abilities to her own. Prince Liang also favored him, making her feel even more powerless to compete with him.
Xiao Yunfang looked at Ye Liuyun, still unwilling to see him won over by the princess.
She finally mustered up her courage and told Ye Liuyun, "It’s okay. You won’t have any trouble if the princess isn’t interested in you. I’ll go with you tomorrow night. She won’t be interested in you if she thinks you already have a woman."
"Yeah, this could work. Let’s give it a try then!"
Without giving it much thought, Ye Liuyun set a meeting time with her and left.
He was so rushed that he forgot that Xiao Yunfang had less life experience than him and was rather gullible.
After he returned to the Xuankong Stone, Ye Liuyun had been thinking. He felt that handling this issue poorly might result in a fallout with Prince Liang.
So he prepared himself and set out with his companions to increase their realms.
He now had ample crystal balls and Alora crystal, he had long reached the pinnacle of the third level. Hence, it wasn’t a problem for him to achieve the fourth level.
For Lei Ming and the rest of Ye Liuyun’s comrades, it was the same. Hence, they easily achieved the fourth realm together.
Then they all entered the Spatial World and began acclimating to the first experience of the fourth-level abilities.
Only then did Ye Liuyun notice Hua Xiangyuan’s younger sister had successfully transformed, reaching the beginner stage of the third level.
"This is my sister, Hua Xiangfen." Hua Xiangyuan introduced her sister to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for avenging me and aiding me in my transformation!" Hua Xiangfen, who had met Ye Liuyun before, act rather natural around him.
Ye Liuyun laughed and replied, "You don’t have to thank me, thank your sister instead! You are blessed to have her as a sister."
Seizing the moment, Hua Xiangyuan passionately voiced out, "Mr. Ye, I wish my sister and I could stay longer in your spatial world. We both have weak battle strength, and we will encounter dangers outside. I wish..."
"Stay as long as you need!" Ye Liuyun agreed before she could finish her suggestion.
Hua Xiangyuan, who was worried that Ye Liuyun would drive them away, now felt relief upon hearing his generous acceptance.
She took out some State Crystals and Spirit Crystal and said to Ye Liuyun, "The six-month rent expired long ago. I know that you are not currently in need of this rental fee, but we should still pay..."
"Hahaha!" Ye Liuyun laughed.
"No, you keep it! Now that you are both training together, you will consume a lot of energy! I have ample resources at my disposal. When I truly need them, I will ask from you.”
Ye Liuyun didn’t expect Hua Xiangyuan to be so earnest and polite.
His Spatial World was running smoothly. The presence of more people training in it wouldn’t exhaust the consumption of spiritual energy after all.
Instead, the Spirit Crystal mineral vein and Power of Origin had begun to generate energy on their own, creating a self-perpetuating cycle of resources.
"Very well then. If Mr. Ye needs our assistance in any way, please don’t hesitate to ask!" Hua Xiangyuan responded gratefully.
Ye Liuyun nodded as he said, “When you have a chance, try to catch some feral beast to enrich this space. It might prevent you from feeling bored here.”
“I can help plant medicinal herbs!” Hua Xiangfen offered when she saw Ye Liuyun didn’t accept their payment offer. Not wanting to take advantage for nothing, she volunteered to do something for Ye Liuyun.
“Sure! As long as it doesn’t interfere with your own cultivation, feel free to plant whatever you want to!" Ye Liuyun agreed.
He gave them access to the herbal garden. He didn’t mind even if they consume some of the herbs there, as long as they didn’t intentionally destroy the herbal garden, he was fine with it.
Besides, he believed they were trustworthy and honest.
Seeing Ye Liuyun’s growing trust in them, Hua Xiangyuan felt reassured to continue staying here.
Ye Liuyun returned to cultivate his realm. When it was time for the agreed meeting, he went straight to meet Xiao Yunfang without changing his clothes, and they hurried to the Gruidae Tower together.
Xiao Yunfang had deliberately put on a beautiful red dress that impressed Ye Liuyun.
“I never imagined that you have such a feminine side!” Ye Liuyun praised her.
“Hmph! There’s a lot you don’t know about me!” Xiao Yunfang replied, while enjoying Ye Liuyun’s admiring gaze.
“Are you going there like this?” Xiao Yunfang asked.
“What’s wrong? Should I dress up?” Ye Liuyun walked away without a care. Xiao Yunfang had no choice but to follow him, and they left the army camp together.
As they walked, numerous soldiers were taken aback by the appearance of Xiao Yunfang.
She had never before dared to show herself in such a feminine garment. Even though she had already tried them on discreetly in her room.
This time, she volunteered her assistance not just out of a desire to help him, but also to demonstrate her attractive side.
