Eternal Beast Taming Family
Chapter 257 Sudden Promotion
In fact, whether Chu Shengyuan's matter succeeds or not is not a big deal to Chu Jingyu.
However, the Chu family is still too weak and isolated to be involved in the schemes and struggles of the dynasty's top powers.
The slightest mistake could turn you into dust in the collision of giant ships, so it's best to be rejected outright.
However, he had another worry in his heart. Today, the "True King of the Sea" sent his granddaughter to arrange a marriage, which could be considered as having the intention of making friends.
What if someone wants to use Chu Shengyuan as a sacrifice tomorrow? If he becomes the grandson-in-law of the True King of the Sea, his safety might be greatly improved.
It's likely that Xiao Yuan's teacher also had this idea of finding a powerful backer for Xiao Yuan.
However, given Xiao Yuan's current wicked nature, Chu Jingyu only hoped that he wouldn't anger the young princess; it was simply impossible for him to be noticed by her.
A few minutes later, Chu Jingyu led Chu Shengyuan to the front hall.
Chu Shengyuan still has a bit of baby fat on his face. You can't call him fat, but when he's not talking, he looks really well-behaved and cute, and he seems easy to get along with.
The moment Chu Shengyuan entered the front hall, almost everyone's scrutinizing gaze fell upon him, making Chu Shengyuan feel strangely uncomfortable.
He looked at the youngest girl sitting in the main seat in the front hall. She had bright eyes and white teeth and looked a little more mature than Chu Shengyuan. One could already glimpse her future beauty.
"You are Chu Shengyuan?" The princess's voice was clear and crisp, and she spoke without any politeness, carrying a natural air of superiority.
"Yes, I am Chu Shengyuan, and you are that princess?"
Of course, Chu Shengyuan's tone was equally impolite.
Hearing his words, the princess didn't seem angry. Instead, she seemed to be pondering something and said:
"You don't look particularly special from your appearance, so why would you think you have extraordinary luck?"
"I don't know the answer to your question. I also think that I was just a little luckier than others and didn't deserve the praise the teacher gave me back then."
The princess stood up from her seat and slowly walked to Chu Shengyuan in the hall.
Only when the two stood together did they realize that the princess was even slightly taller than Chu Shengyuan.
"You look quite lucky. How about you become my little follower from now on?"
Hearing this, Chu Shengyuan became displeased. "You seem quite clever, why don't you become my little follower?"
The princess's eyes widened instantly, and Chu Jingyu hissed softly, about to make Chu Shengyuan apologize.
Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy erupted in the front hall, and layers of sea of fire spread outwards from the princess's body.
Chu Shengyuan's expression changed. Why was this princess so unwilling to take action after only saying a few words?
Instantly, a snake's phantom appeared beside him, but the next moment, the old woman beside the princess passed through the sea of fire, grabbed the princess's shoulder, and the two disappeared from the front hall in an instant.
The anticipated attack came to an abrupt halt, and a faint smell of smoke still lingered in the air.
He Mingshu looked at the bewildered Chu Shengyuan and Chu Jingyu, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the princess is just suddenly about to break through to the Domain Rank."
The smoke and fire that just spread out were merely an external manifestation of her comprehension domain. Junior brother, if you say you were just lucky now, no one will believe you.
Just two sentences were exchanged, and the princess is about to break through?
Chu Shengyuan frowned. "Third Senior Brother, this is most likely a coincidence."
He Mingshu revealed a mysterious smile, "Coincidence? That would have to be something they're willing to think that way."
A fiery inferno spread across the sky atop Chu Family Mountain, with birds composed entirely of flames soaring and tumbling within it.
The princess floated in the sea of fire, with flames so red they turned purple forming wings nearly three meters long behind her. With each flick, it seemed as if layers of flames were spreading outwards.
"Sparrow Wing Fire Domain."
She slowly brought her hands together in front of her chest, and the surrounding fiery domain gradually converged towards her wings behind her, until finally even her wings gently dispersed.
However, her current aura was completely different from before; the scorching heat emanating from her body seemed to distort the surrounding air.
The old woman who had been watching her came to her side, forcing a smile.
"Great! I didn't expect you to break through after only meeting Chu Shengyuan once. Your luck is truly remarkable."
"Princess, you must carefully consider your relationship with that boy. Having him as a follower is absolutely unacceptable."
The princess frowned slightly. "Does that mean Granny Han really wants me to become engaged to him?"
Granny Han's voice was hoarse, but her tone was unusually firm. "This is the true king's order. If that child truly possesses top-tier luck, this marriage must proceed."
"And you too need to study at the Thousand Spirits Academy and keep an eye on people. This matter concerns the rise and fall of the royal family, and I hope the princess will obey the True King's orders."
The princess slightly furrowed her brows, pinched her chin, and slowly curved a smile into her lips. "Alright, then I'll go and meet my future husband."
Granny Han reached out and stopped the princess from falling. "No, you've just advanced in cultivation, your aura is still unstable. Going down now could damage the houses around the Chu family. Let's talk from a distance."
Then go into seclusion outside the realm and cultivate until you can control your aura before returning.
The princess glanced at the sparks that kept popping up around her, then shrugged helplessly. "Alright then."
Its body descended into the front courtyard and then looked at the people in the hall.
She ignored the rest of the people.
"Chu Shengyuan, I've just been promoted and it's not convenient for me to speak right now. You're a good husband, I accept you."
My name is Nan Li. Remember this name.
"I'll come find you again after I've stabilized my cultivation level."
As he spoke, his figure transformed into a streak of fire and rushed towards the outside of the boundary membrane.
Chu Shengyuan looked completely bewildered. "Hey, wait, you haven't asked for my opinion yet? I haven't agreed."
Then he looked at his grandfather with accusatory eyes, as if to say, "Didn't you say that people didn't like you?"
Chu Jingyu glared back without any politeness, as if to say, "If you hadn't been here, allowing her to break through her cultivation level, she would never have even looked at you."
He Mingshu smiled and said, "The task that the teacher assigned this time is not difficult to complete. The princess agreed after just one meeting, so I didn't have to say anything more."
Chu Shengyuan stared at He Mingshu with a death stare. "Third Senior Brother, didn't you consider my opinion? I'm really going to argue with Teacher."
Hearing Chu Shengyuan's words, He Mingshu laughed even more heartily.
"Okay, I support you. Go ahead and make a scene. I've disliked the teacher for a long time too."
But since the princess has already agreed, there's no point in making a fuss anymore.
"How wonderful it would be to form a marriage alliance with a true royal family! At least you could then roam freely throughout the entire Jingyuan Dynasty."
Chu Shengyuan crossed his arms and made a disdainful gesture. "It's only her side of the story that has agreed so far. I haven't said I agree yet. This engagement isn't finalized."
He Mingshu waved his hand dismissively, "Fine, fine, I don't want to get involved in your kids' nonsense. Anyway, my job is to bring the person here to see you."
Then I'll safely bring you back to the academy. As for how you two kids discuss it, that's your business.
His gaze turned to Chu Jingyu, "Patriarch Chu, could you please arrange a guest room?"
Chu Jingyu nodded quickly, "Okay, okay." He then had the head butler take He Mingshu out.
Xiao Muchu took his leave at the opportune moment, offering a word of advice before departing.
"With a single thought from the True King, the entire Jingyuan Dynasty will be thrown into turmoil. Young Master Chu, you should think twice and not act rashly."
