"No, things are not as simple as you think. Do you know why Dragon Emperor relegated you to a commoner? In order to protect you and the power of the Holy Dragon Pearl that you had fused with, he gave birth to a terrifying seed under your body at the same time. And now this terrible seed has sprouted. " Loong Xueyan shook her head.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Bai Yuhao was confused listening to this. He did not know that ever since the day he had merged with the Holy Dragon Pearl, his fate had uncontrollably rolled up into the darkest part of the battle of Holy Dragon Kingdom.
"The royal family's arranged marriage has always been to restrain the various great families' forces, and the Ximen Family Clan is the only family with the power to resist the imperial family out of all the families' strengths in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. A few years ago, Dragon Emperor should have wanted to marry Ximen Xue to Loong Ao, but at that time, Ximen Xue was still young, so Leader of Ximen Family declined on the basis of this. Helpless, Dragon Emperor decided to change his marriage to another family's Ji Family. However, in the past few years, the Ximen Family Clan, which had great power and influence, had also become a sore point in Dragon Emperor's heart. "After that, Dragon Emperor has been waiting for an opportunity …" Although Loong Xueyan was unwilling, she had no choice but to tell Bai Yuhao the truth. She had to let Bai Yuhao know how turbulent his current situation was.
"So you're saying, the reason Dragon Emperor bestowed the marriage to me was to restrain the Ximen Family Clan? But why me? "It's not the other princes …" Bai Yuhao frowned. He wasn't the only prince of the imperial family, what did he have to choose for?
"It's a pity, other than Loong Ao, the other imperial clans' aptitudes are too ordinary. Until now, none of them have strength above Celestial Master Stage. Furthermore, even if they were to forcefully grant her marriage, Ximen Batian would use all sorts of excuses. "Ximen Batian will never let his grandson down …" Loong Xueyan's beautiful eyes stared fixedly at Liu Tie, and her voice paused for a while before she continued, "And because you fused with the Holy Dragon Pearl at the ceremony, it allowed Zhou Tie to see hope in you. So, this is why, at the same time he lost his identity as a prince, he acknowledged Royal Spirit Controller's identity and allowed you to train in Dragon Field. Otherwise, according to the situation then, Zhou Steel should have been stripped along with the energy of the Holy Dragon Pearl that you fused with. "
"So you're saying, Dragon Emperor's plan was long made to recover my status as a prince, and he wanted me to become a pawn in his hands to control the Ximen Family race?" Bai Yuhao couldn't help but let out a sneer. He originally thought that his fake father was the one who discovered his conscience, but now that he thought about it, he was really kept in the dark. He almost was sold.
"If you hadn't fused with the Holy Dragon Pearl, and if you hadn't broken through the Earth Battle Stage in such a short period of time, the situation would have been greatly different. Unfortunately, everything seemed to be fated. "Originally, I thought that Dragon Emperor protecting you and restoring your prince identity was all because of your mother. However, when I heard that he decided to give you Ximen Xue's marriage, I finally understood that Dragon Emperor is after all, Wu Tie. He must first consider the overall situation …" Although Loong Xueyan said it in a euphemistic manner, she did not deny Bai Yuhao's doubts. This meant that Bai Yuhao was right, he was now Dragon Emperor's chess piece.
"I'm not in a good mood right now. Tomorrow I'll talk to Dragon Emperor and I won't marry that Ximen Xue. If you have the ability, then let him cripple my status as a prince again." Bai Yuhao was definitely not the kind of person to be easily trampled over. He was very angry right now.
"No. You must not do this. Didn't you just promise me that? " Loong Xueyan immediately shook her head with a grim expression.
"I'm no longer the Loong Xuan from before. I won't be manipulated by anyone." Bai Yuhao said with determination.
Your current power cannot defy Dragon Emperor at all. If you defy him, you only have one outcome, and that is that everything you have right now will be taken away, including the power of the Holy Dragon Pearl. At that time, you will truly have nothing. Loong Xueyan said sternly.
Bai Yuhao became silent because he knew from Loong Xueyan's expression that she was definitely not joking.
"I know that you are no longer the Loong Xuan of the past, and I also know that you do not want to be manipulated. You have proven to everyone that you are not trash, but these are not enough, and with the power of the Holy Dragon Pearl, you still have to climb to a higher realm, so that you have enough strength to escape the restrictions that are placed on you." Loong Xueyan suddenly held Bai Yuhao's hand tightly.
"Higher up …" Bai Yuhao's gaze turned serious.
"That's right, your current aptitude is already unquestionable. What you possess is innate talent and aptitude that has never been seen before in the history of Desolate Spirit Continent. Furthermore, the Power of Dragon Spirit in your body came from a Holy Dragon Pearl. So, as long as you work hard, you will definitely become a powerhouse whose Holy Dragon Kingdom s were unique and unmatched. Then you can get everything you want, even the position of Dragon Emperor. Therefore, you must now be patient and obey all the arrangements that Dragon Emperor has made for you. Promise me, will you? "Don't let me worry about you …" Loong Xueyan looked at Bai Yuhao with watery eyes.
That gentle expression instantly melted Bai Yuhao's resolute attitude, making him unable to refuse. He knew that everything Loong Xueyan said was for his sake. Her kindness, her gentleness and her rationality made him have no reason to refuse, because he did not want to disappoint Loong Xueyan.
"Alright, I promise you. "However, if I ever become Dragon Emperor one day, I will definitely never let you become Witch again …" Bai Yuhao said with ambition in his voice.
"Hmph, we'll talk about it when you become one." "A small fry …" Loong Xueyan smiled with her beautiful eyes, but she was still happy in her heart because this was Bai Yuhao's promise to her, a promise that could let her get rid of her fate. But unfortunately, the chances of it becoming true were slim.
"It's about time. Let's go back, otherwise, big sister Ying Ying will be angry." Loong Xueyan looked at Bai Yuhao with a gratified expression as she spoke. She took the lantern from Bai Yuhao's hand and left.
Bai Yuhao turned around and looked at Loong Xueyan's back. He sighed softly and followed closely behind.
Not long after, the two of them returned to the place where the carriage was parked. When Loong Xueyan's personal maid saw them return, she immediately bowed to them respectfully before getting onto the driver's seat. Soon after, Bai Yuhao and Loong Xueyan also got into the carriage.
Afterwards, the carriage brought the two of them out of the busy city and back to Palace City.
When it was almost midnight, the carriage stopped at the foot of the stairs outside Bai Yuhao's sleeping quarters.
"Rest early." "Tomorrow, Dragon Emperor will meet Ximen Batian and Ximen Xue. You should be there as well …" Loong Xueyan said to Bai Yuhao, who had just got out of the car.
Bai Yuhao nodded, glanced at Loong Xueyan in the car, then turned around and went back into the bedroom.
After that, the carriage headed towards Loong Xueyan's chambers. Loong Xueyan, who was sitting in the carriage, took out a lantern boat from between her sleeves. It was the one she had written down her wish on, but she did not let it carry her wish away.
Bai Yuhao, who had returned to his own bedroom, laid down on his bed and looked up at the sky. Bai Yuhao, who had returned to his own room, laid down on his own bed, looked up to the sky, and kept repeating in his mind what Loong Xueyan had said to him just now.
But now, the first thing he had to do was to get married to Ximen Xue. If he couldn't refuse, then he could only agree. When he thought of getting along with that ferocious flat chested girl from day to night, he felt a chill in his heart, a dark feeling that made him lose the light of day.
On the second day, when Bai Yuhao opened his eyes, he realized that he had fallen asleep. He hadn't slept for a long time, so he cultivated until dawn every day. The reason for this was probably because he was a bit distracted and did not have the heart to cultivate.
"Prince Loong Xuan, ordered Wu Tie to send someone to tell you to go to Temple of Excursion after breakfast." At this time, a maid walked in and reported on the matter.
"Oh." Bai Yuhao nodded, got up and yawned, stretched himself, then turned to look at Dragon-like who had been used by him as his pillow the whole night, still sleeping soundly. Immediately, he enviously thought in his heart: "You actually know how to eat after sleeping, eat after sleeping, and sleep without worrying. You're even better than a prince like me …" As he said that, he summoned two maids and dressed himself up with the help of the maids. He then changed into a set of luxurious robes that represented his status as a prince.
After using breakfast, Bai Yuhao rode the carriage he prepared beforehand to head to Temple of Excursion. When he was almost out of the car, he saw a square where he had only worn Temple of Excursion.
Right at this moment, he suddenly felt an extremely astonishing aura of a Spiritual Energy rush over and the Dragon Pattern in his hands instantly lit up, as though it had resonated with him. He raised his head in shock, and saw two figures rushing over from the other side of the plaza.
Bai Yuhao looked closely and saw two figures: a man and a woman. The man was about forty to fifty years old, tall and straight, with a tall and sturdy build, with a domineering aura, full of the aura of a strong warrior, making it difficult for people to look at him. What was even more shocking was that the Spiritual Energy Qi on the man's body was even stronger than Mu Yinv's, which meant that the man's strength was definitely above Mu Yinv's. Moreover, the aura he felt was precisely emitted from the man.
