Chapter 1587: Chapter 1586: Snake Emperor’s Message
"What... on earth is going on here?"
Qin Feng was utterly bewildered.
He realized, this doesn’t seem to be a New Year celebration...
The crowd below had already erupted into cheers like a tidal wave.
"Son-in-law!!"
"Son-in-law!!"
"Son-in-law!!"
"..."
Qin Feng was extremely confused.
Why are they shouting his name?
At this time.
The Snake Lady, also dressed in new clothes, with a sunny and gentle smile, lowered her hands to signal everyone to be quiet.
Then.
She spoke, "Today will be the engagement day of the Empress of our Big Snake Clan and Qin Feng from Hua Country! On this joyous day, we..."
As she was speaking, Qin Feng felt like he was struck by lightning, completely stunned.
Engagement?
He’s getting engaged??
He finally realized something was amiss, hurriedly interrupting the Snake Lady, "There... must be some misunderstanding, I..."
Before he could finish, the Snake Lady apologetically said, "Son-in-law, I’m really sorry."
"..."
Qin Feng was speechless.
So they did know his attitude!
Then why do this?
Just as Qin Feng was about to speak again.
The Snake Lady continued, "We consulted the almanac all night, according to our Big Snake Clan’s tradition, it’s not possible to marry for a period now, so we had to change the original marriage to an engagement. We’ll finalize the engagement first and hold a grand wedding later. Is that alright with you?"
"..."
Qin Feng was bewildered again.
So her apology was for this...
No!
This must be clarified!
Qin Feng cleared his throat twice, and before he could speak, a rising wave of cheers erupted from below again!
Looking up.
The Empress, dressed in a luxurious red outfit, was walking towards him step by step!
In splendid attire, with a phoenix crown!
A queen of her era, unparalleled in beauty!
Even Qin Feng, who had seen countless beauties, was momentarily mesmerized.
She was stunningly beautiful!
The Empress serenely approached, stopping beside Qin Feng, giving a slight smile, then turned to face the tens of thousands of Big Snake Castle citizens below, and said, "From today onwards, our Big Snake Clan has a new master!"
The next moment.
The crowd erupted into deafening cheers again!
"What?!!"
Qin Feng was astonished, eyes wide open.
What did she mean by this?
Making him the master of the Big Snake Clan?
What a joke!
He wasn’t even a member of the Big Snake Clan...
"Husband."
The Empress looked at Qin Feng at this moment and said, "Thank you, husband, for your past kindness to the Big Snake Clan, and in the future, please treat our people kindly!"
After saying this.
She bowed slightly to Qin Feng.
The Snake Lady and other elders, as well as top figures of the Big Snake Castle like the One-eyed Bald, all bowed to Qin Feng.
Subsequently.
The tens of thousands of people on the streets of Big Snake Castle all bowed to Qin Feng...
"..."
At this moment, Qin Feng was so shocked he couldn’t speak.
This inexplicable engagement already left him utterly confused, now the entire Big Snake Clan was bowing to him, it truly felt like a dream.
Even if he really married the Empress.
With his own lineage traditions, he shouldn’t be the one to manage the Big Snake Clan.
However.
Now wasn’t the time to ask questions.
In front of the entire Big Snake Clan, to refuse would embarrass the Empress.
Qin Feng had no choice but to stay silent.
Soon.
With continued speeches from the Snake Lady and others, the ceremony finally concluded.
By this time, it was noon.
The entire Big Snake Castle began their celebratory feast.
Qin Feng called the Empress into the room, wanting to understand what was truly happening.
The Empress bowed slightly and said, "I apologize, things were indeed rushed, but there was no other way. I heard you came to Big Snake Castle looking for me, so I could only advance the engagement."
"So you did it on purpose then?"
Qin Feng asked.
The Empress nodded, her expression still calm, "First, when you found the antidote from Ghost Medicine Granny and woke me from my fourteen-year slumber, you indirectly engaged me, then saved me multiple times and helped me fully awaken the ’Snake Heart’ yesterday..."
"I’ve said before, those aren’t reasons to fulfill a marriage contract!" Qin Feng shrugged.
"Let me say ’secondly’," the Empress lifted her beautiful eyes and looked at him, saying, "Secondly, our Big Snake Clan has a rule, the first one must always..."
Before she could finish, Qin Feng sheepishly waved his hand, "I know what you want to say, you mean to say you gave me your first time, so we must marry, but that’s merely your tradition? Please, I’ve been conned like this before, let’s find another reason. Besides, with your cultivation level, I would’ve thought matters like that would be seen more clearly."
The Empress shook her head, looking at him, "No, I don’t know about others, but I have a special sentiment about my first time. Besides... are you asking for a reason? I could give you one..."
She sighed softly and continued, "The Big Snake Clan needs you."
"Hmm?"
Qin Feng was puzzled, "What do you mean? The Big Snake Clan is facing difficulties? You could just tell me directly, there’s no need to force me to become the master of the Big Snake Clan!"
"In just a few years, the Big Snake Clan will be extinct." The Empress spoke to herself, "Our Big Snake Clan is descended from the lineage of the Snake Emperor, but after ten thousand years, our genes are difficult to adapt here, and life spans are short. Like Snake Granny living past a hundred, that’s seen once in a thousand years, and with the current shifts in the Earth’s environment, even without an impending catastrophe, our Big Snake Clan can barely hold on."
"Uh... that’s your genetic issue, even with my healing skills, I can’t help you extend your lifespan!"
Qin Feng scratched his head.
"Take us to the Upper Realm."
The Empress looked at Qin Feng and said, "Only in the Upper Realm can we truly activate the power of our Big Snake Clan; that’s our paradise! Then we will no longer live merely decades but long, long lives..."
"..."
Qin Feng blinked in bewilderment, saying, "This, this... is too fantastical, right? You mean that your Big Snake Clan is actually from the Upper Realm?"
"Yes."
The Empress nodded, "Actually, I only realized this from the phenomenon in the sky last night when the ’Snake Emperor’ appeared. She left information for me to know these things."
"Leaving aside how difficult it is to go to the Upper Realm, even if you want me to help you there, I currently don’t have such capability; even if I did, there’s no need to marry me!"
Qin Feng shrugged.
"No, you don’t understand, but when the day comes, and we truly reach the Upper Realm, you’ll understand."
The Empress said with a serious expression.
