Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 43 The marriage alliance delegation arrives, and Li Qiye enters the palace!
It's normal that Granny Silver Dragon could guess it, because in this whole world, among the life-giving pills, only the Creation Pill is made from lightning-struck divine wood.

Although this pill is a Heaven-grade pill, it is extremely difficult to refine and is very easy to fail.

Even a typical top-tier alchemist wouldn't dare guarantee that they could successfully refine it.

This small section of lightning-struck divine wood is only enough to refine two Creation Pills.

Is it possible that they would give the pills to them after they were made?
But Granny Silver Dragon heard it clearly: the beautiful girl spoke to them with certainty.

They said that after refining the elixir, they would give them the remaining half of the lightning-struck divine wood.

Does that mean she can guarantee a successful refining on the first try?

Is this girl at least a Heaven-level alchemist?

Able to refine Heaven-level Creation Pills, and possibly even Saint-level Alchemists.

Thinking of these things, Granny Silver Dragon became cautious and tentatively asked:

"By the way, may I ask how I should address you, young lady?"

"Li Yueyao!"

Surname Li? The imperial surname of the Great Zhou Dynasty?

Grandma Silver Dragon immediately realized what was going on.

No wonder!

It turns out they were members of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"Could she be a princess or a noblewoman of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Soon, Granny Silver Dragon and the girl in the white dress arrived at the gate of the Seven Nights Palace, led by Li Yueyao.

At the same time, they looked up and saw four huge characters:

Seven Nights at the Prince's Mansion!

The two looked at each other, both able to see the shock in each other's eyes.

Just as Li Yueyao had guessed, the girl was indeed a princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

As a victim of a political marriage, she had already investigated several princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty who could potentially become her husband.

They are, respectively, the eldest prince Li An, the third prince Li Yuanzheng, and the recently famous tenth prince Li Qiye.

The Seven Nights Palace is the palace of the tenth prince, Li Qiye.

"What a coincidence!"

"Was this planned in advance?"

Many thoughts flashed through the old woman's mind, but she quickly dismissed them.

Even in their Northern Wei Dynasty, very few people knew the true face of their young lady.

Moreover, due to health reasons, he usually stays at home and doesn't go out.

Even this delegation has only been seen by a handful of people.

Moreover, they did not come to the Great Zhou Dynasty with the delegation this time, but set off a few days in advance and arrived here long ago, so no one recognized them at all.

"If all of this is a coincidence, then it can be considered a kind of fate."

Granny Silver Dragon thought to herself:

She then looked at Li Yueyao in front of her and became even more certain of her identity.

"This must be the princess or noblewoman who has the best relationship with the tenth prince."

"She appears extremely cold on the surface, but she is actually very kind-hearted, just like the young lady."

"Judging from this, the tenth prince isn't much worse."

"Birds of a feather flock together. If the princess could marry Prince Qiye, her life should be much easier."

"It's a pity, though. We can't decide which prince to marry the princess to; it depends on the delegation's decision."

Thinking of all this, Granny Silver Dragon felt a pang of sorrow.

This is the difficulty of being born into an imperial family; they have no say in many things.

The young lady has suffered greatly since childhood, and now she is to become a victim of a political marriage.

How unfair this world is!
Granny Silver Dragon glanced at her young mistress subconsciously and saw that her face was expressionless, but her originally empty eyes now held a hint of resigned desolation.

The two then followed Li Yueyao into the Prince's mansion.

"Brother Qiye?"

Li Yueyao's melodious voice rang out.

This was in stark contrast to her usual aloofness.

"You're back?" A gentle and refined voice rang out immediately.

"By the way, who are these two?"

Brother Qiye?

Is this the tenth prince, Li Qiye?
Granny Silver Dragon and the Northern Wei princess both looked at the young man simultaneously, his handsome face full of smiles.

"Brother Qiye, this is a friend I met at the Seven Star Tower."

Li Yueyao said with a smile.

She wasn't sure if the other person was a princess from Northern Wei, so she didn't express her guess to avoid making a fool of herself.

Upon hearing this, Li Qiye couldn't help but laugh: "Not bad, it's rare that you still have friends."

Whether it was Li Yueyao before her rebirth or after her rebirth, in Li Qiye's eyes, she was someone who didn't like interacting with people.

It's quite a rare thing that she would take the initiative to make friends.

Could it be a friend from before the rebirth?

Are these the protagonist's friends and family?

Li Qiye's gaze also fell on the young girl and the old woman, especially the girl in the white dress, whose gaze lingered for a while longer.

Because the other person's body was so weak, it seemed as if the wind could blow them over even if they were just standing there.

The other person's appearance was extremely stunning; she was absolutely gorgeous.

Although she looked extremely frail, she exuded an ethereal aura, especially her otherworldly demeanor.

"Does she have a special constitution?"

"This shouldn't be the case!"

Li Qiye had never heard of any constitution that would make someone so weak and frail.

"Brother Qiye, judging from your appearance, are you getting ready to go out?"

Just then, Li Yueyao's voice rang out again.

"Not bad!"

Li Qiye nodded and said, "I heard that the Northern Wei delegation has arrived. My father asked me to go to the palace to show our Great Zhou's etiquette. I just need to go through the motions."

"Brother Qiye, are you going like this?"

Li Yueyao was both amused and exasperated. Looking at Li Qiye's casual attire, she wondered if she was being too nosy.

You entered the palace dressed so casually?

People who don't know you might think you went shopping.

Does her brother Qiye have no desire to become the crown prince at all?
Everyone could see that whoever married the Northern Wei princess would inevitably be made crown prince, as this was related to the friendly relations between the two countries.

"Why not?"

Li Qiye said calmly.

If he doesn't go, it will anger his extremely domineering father, so he probably won't go.

"Alright, then I'll go into the palace first."

"If you need anything, just tell the housekeeper. Don't neglect your friend."

After saying this, Li Qiye walked outside, and as he passed the young girl and the old woman, he smiled and nodded to them.

He seemed to walk slowly, but he disappeared in a breath or two.

"What a profound movement technique!"

A glint of light flashed in the old woman's cloudy eyes. After all, she was at the Enlightenment Realm and could see some of the clues.

This tenth prince didn't even use any movement techniques or martial arts skills, yet he was able to reach such a level. It's simply astonishing!
"Is he the Tenth Prince, Li Qiye?"

Is it possible that person will become my future husband?

Wei Ling Shuang stared blankly in the direction where Li Qi Ye had disappeared.

She had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She had only met Li Qiye once, and he was not only charming but also handsome.

Who doesn't like beautiful things?

However, it's not that I like it, it's just that I don't feel any resistance to it.

There aren't that many cases of love at first sight in this world; if there are, they're just lust at first sight.
