Eternal Beast Taming Family

Princess Nanli's behavior made the other princes and nobles somewhat uncomfortable.

Based on their understanding of Nan Li, they knew she would make a scene in front of her father/ancestor, forcing him/her to expel the envoy.

However, their thinking shows that they do not understand Nan Li. After all, when she was a teenager, she was already engaged to the unknown Chu Shengyuan for the sake of Tianyuan Sea, and she did not make a scene at the time.

After all, she had known since childhood that she enjoyed the noble status of a princess of Tianyuan Sea, so naturally she had to do something for Tianyuan Sea.

But today, she never expected that her engagement would change again, and this time the person she was dealing with was Jing Heng, whom she looked down on.

Inside the palace, the True King of the Sea waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave. The princes, grandsons, and a few high-ranking officials slowly withdrew from the palace.

Until only the True King of the Sea and Nan Mingchen remained in the vast palace.

Nan Mingchen looked bitterly at the True King Yu Hai, who sat on the throne. Over the years, he seemed to have gradually realized that the royal family could indeed be quite ruthless.

"Father, ever since Li'er and Chu Shengyuan became engaged, everything in our Tianyuan Sea has indeed progressed smoothly, just as Grand Master Luo Xuan predicted."

Even after Li'er returned, she discovered the ancient ruins right under our noses and allowed your second source beast to advance to the True King rank, which gave us the capital to declare independence for Tianyuan Sea.

"To rashly change her engagement with Chu Shengyuan now, with the backlash of fate, who knows what kind of disaster it will bring to our Tianyuan Sea. I urge Father to reconsider the matter of Li'er's engagement."

The True King of the Sea tapped his fingers lightly and irregularly on the armrest.

"Our Nan clan has been developing in Tianyuan Sea for a long time. In the end, we must rely on our own hands for future development. Relying on marriage to absorb the other party's fortune is not a long-term solution."

I've given Li'er a chance. If she can get Chu Shengyuan to fulfill the marriage agreement within a month, the original agreement will remain valid. If not,

The merfolk are crucial to the future development of our Nan clan; I cannot abandon them.

Upon hearing his father's words, Nan Mingchen's expression visibly became excited.

"Father, is the reason you treat Li'er as a tool simply because she does not have the blood of my Nan clan?"

Even if we hand it over to the Jingyuan royal family, they couldn't possibly interfere with our Nan clan in the slightest through Li'er's bloodline or the bloodline of her offspring, right?

Upon hearing Nan Mingchen's words, Yu Hai Zhen Wang's expression stiffened for a moment, then he fell silent.

Nan Mingchen continued, "In the Nan clan, anyone who awakens a talent is related to the water element, except for Li'er, who is related to the fire element."

The Royal Palace of the Sea produced a daughter with a fire element. Our explanation to the outside world is that things reach their extremes and then reverse; there always has to be a fire element to counteract the water element of the Nan clan.

But as Li'er grows up, do you think she will continue to believe this explanation? She can't even enjoy the blessing of the source artifact from our Imperial Sea True King's Mansion. One day she will realize that she is not of Southern Clan blood.

How could we bully a child who has no blood relation to us like this?

Yu Hai Zhen Wang sighed softly, "Ming Chen, that's why I've never entrusted Tian Yuan Hai to you for management. You're always too soft-hearted."

"If Father is not soft-hearted, why did you risk sending your royal beast to Jingyuan Capital to relieve the siege of Qianling City when it was besieged?"

Nan Mingchen lowered his body and knelt heavily on the ground, his forehead touching the ground that he had turned into solid ice.

"Mingchen begs Father to spare some of this compassion for Li'er. She has already sacrificed once for the Nan family; do not let her be heartbroken again because of the Nan family."

'Pat-pat-pat'

That was the sound of a powerful cultivator's tears falling onto solid ice, and the spiritual energy of the surrounding void seemed to follow Nan Mingchen, emanating an uncontrollable sorrow.

The True King of the Sea sighed softly, his figure flashing as he appeared before Nan Mingchen, personally bending down to help him up.

"Mingchen, alright, your father promises you, even if Chu Shengyuan doesn't appear a month later, I will not agree to the marriage agreement with the Jingyuan Dynasty. As for the Ancient Alliance, I'll think of other ways."

Upon hearing this, Nan Mingchen's expression changed from sadness to joy. "Thank you, Father. Thank you, Father."

……

The next day, shocking news spread throughout the Jingyuan Dynasty and the Tianyuan Sea region: the crown prince of the Jingyuan royal family was to be married to the princess of Tianyuan Sea.

This news sparked widespread discussion in both regions.

Some believe that this signifies the Jingyuan Dynasty's recognition of Tianyuanhai's identity after Tianyuanhai declared its complete independence, and is a signal that it is about to establish a friendly dynastic power.

Some believe this is merely a delaying tactic by the Jingyuan royal family, aiming to temporarily stabilize the Tianyuanhai region and prepare for further plans once the dynasty is fully stable.

There are even rumors that the princess and the crown prince fell in love despite being separated by two opposing forces, creating a love story full of twists and turns that ultimately led to a happy ending.

On the same day, Chu Shenghan in Muyang City heard the news. Her brows furrowed deeply, somewhat puzzled.

Wasn't Princess Nanli engaged to Xiaoyuan? How come she's now connected with Jingheng of the Jingyuan Dynasty?

After confirming the message was true several times, Chu Shenghan took out the "Ten Thousand Miles Book" and hesitated, unsure whether he should tell Xiao Yuan the news.

Knowing Xiao Yuan as he did, he knew that upon hearing this news, he would definitely demand to return to Jingyuan. But who knew that this was not a trap set for Xiao Yuan? After all, Xiao Yuan possessed profound luck, a fact that was almost universally known to the Jingyuan royal family and the Yu Hai Zhen Wang Mansion.

Previously, the Jingyuan royal family had focused most of their attention on Chu Shengfan. Now that their elder brother was dead, Xiao Yuan would inevitably fall into their sights.

Therefore, Chu Shenghan was hesitant for a moment. After a while, she sent the message to her grandfather and father through "Wanlishu". Whether or not to tell Xiaoyuan, she could only listen to their advice.

……

The message travels thousands of miles.

Wandao Mountain, Chu Family.

Upon receiving this news, Chu Jingyu and Chu Qinhui's expressions changed instantly.

Chu Qinhui hurriedly arrived at Chu Jingyu's courtyard and, as expected, found Chu Jingyu looking unwell.

"Father, what should we do about this? Should we tell Xiaoyuan?"

Chu Jingyu was clearly angry. "The Imperial Sea True King's Mansion is acting very unfairly. How can a woman marry multiple times? And if it weren't for our Xiao Yuan, would they have been able to monopolize the benefits of the Paper Hawk Clan?"

"Now, our Xiao Yuan has only been away from the Jingyuan Dynasty for a short time, and they actually want to marry her off to multiple men. That's utterly unreasonable!"
