Intense, blinding sparks were released like fireworks, dazzling everyone's eyes with a colorful light, leaving them momentarily dazed and blind. Then, the black shield transmitted an extremely hot temperature, causing excruciating pain to Gray Zhan's tightly clenched hands, burning his skin until it turned red, and even his battle aura could not completely protect him!

"howl…"

Hui Zhan howled in pain. Faced with the terrifying temperature and energy of the flame orb, he had to desperately inject his battle qi. He couldn't even give up the black shield in his hand, because if he gave up his protective weapon, he would probably be burned to ashes by the terrifying flame orb!

We have no choice but to keep fighting and holding on!

This black shield truly lived up to its reputation as a weapon-forging master. It withstood the flames formed by the Dragon Flame Purple Fire for three or four breaths before finally letting out a mournful cry and shattering. Gray Zhan was shot and thrown to the ground, while the flames, carrying their remaining power, continued to hurtle towards him!

Watching his long brown hair burn to ashes in an instant, Gray Zhan's eyes widened in terror. He retreated on the ground in utter panic, crying out, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm a prince of the Izumo Empire..."

Clang! Bang!

Just as the ball of flame was about to shoot out and incinerate Hui Zhan into nothingness, a broadsword suddenly shot out from the side and stood in front of Hui Zhan!

The ball of fire exploded instantly, its aftershocks spreading in all directions!

As the smoke and dust dissipated, behind the broadsword, stood Jia Xingtian, exuding an imposing aura. He stood with his hands behind his back, his aura surging like a vast flood, sweeping across all directions!

It turned out that he was the one who saved Hui Zhan. Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and stopped intervening.

"Young friend Xuanyuan truly lives up to his reputation as the newly crowned champion of the Alchemy Competition and a rising star among the youth. Not only is his skill in alchemy superb, but his combat prowess is also top-notch among young experts. He is indeed extraordinary!"

Jia Xingtian smiled casually, but his hands, which were behind his back, were trembling because they had been affected when he was holding the broadsword earlier.

Chapter Eighteen Meeting

Jia Xingtian remained calm and composed, but the movement of his hands behind his back betrayed him. Although he had only used his broadsword to block the ball of flame and save Hui Zhan, the extremely terrifying temperature transmitted through the broadsword burned his hands, and even his battle qi could not completely protect him!

The burning power of the strange fire was indeed terrifying! It made him extremely wary, and he looked at the young man in front of him with even greater respect. Such a talented young man, at such a young age, actually possessed such terrifying strength. Given time, he would surely become a dragon among men, an emperor among dragons!

"You flatter me, you flatter me. What you say, Elder Jia, makes me feel quite ashamed!" Xiao Xuanyuan cupped his hands in a very humble manner, but his expression was extremely calm and composed.

Although he spoke politely, he beat Hui Zhan so badly that even his own mother probably wouldn't recognize him. Hmph, daring to steal a woman from Xiao Xuanyuan, he didn't even know what he was doing! He was truly courting death! To be honest, if it weren't for this special occasion, Xiao Xuanyuan would have considered eliminating Hui Zhan completely. Killing someone was to him as easy as killing an animal, a chicken, or a duck.

Jia Xingtian nodded slightly. He couldn't help but admire the young man in front of him. He was a young man who had achieved success at a young age and was very strong. However, he knew how to be low-key and kept his strength hidden. He was not arrogant at all. As long as he did not perish in the future, he would definitely become a true strongman in his own right and be awe-inspiring to all directions!

It seems this decision might not be wrong after all; perhaps it could even bring our royal family and clan a future ally and protector with unparalleled potential. At this moment, Jia Xingtian's resolve grew ever stronger.

"Prince, are you convinced now? This young friend is our chosen consort. If you can't defeat him, then this marriage will have to be called off!" Jia Xingtian originally wanted to say some polite words to smooth things over with both sides, but after a slight change of heart, he realized that even he, the retired emperor of the Jia Ma Empire, was so cowardly. How could he expect the many powerful families present to support him in the future? So, he spoke with a bit more confidence.

"Hmph, let's go!"

Knowing he was no match for Hui Zhan, his face turned ashen. With the help of his attendants, he flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Xiao Xuanyuan immediately stopped the other party and said coldly, "Since you have been defeated, your storage ring and the items inside belong to me as spoils of victory."

"you…"

Upon hearing this, Hui Zhan was instantly enraged, and his attendants immediately wanted to step forward to attack. At this moment, Jia Xingtian flashed and stood in front of Xiao Xuanyuan, saying in a calm voice, "These are the rules!"

Judging from this, he is completely on Xiao Xuanyuan's side.

"Fine," Hui Zhan said through gritted teeth. After a pause, he took the storage ring off his finger and tossed it to Xiao Xuanyuan before leaving with a group of attendants.

Without a word, Xiao Xuanyuan shot a wisp of silver flame into the storage ring, erasing the original owner's mark and imprinting his own. The ring was now his.

With a quick sweep of his soul perception, Xiao Xuanyuan saw that the rather spacious area was filled with many bottles and jars, various cultivated medicinal herbs, and some unknown miscellaneous items. He frowned slightly and withdrew his soul perception.

With this unexpected turn of events, everyone's drinking and merrymaking were interrupted, and they all lost interest and had no intention of continuing. They all made excuses to leave. Xiao Xuanyuan was originally going to leave with them, but Jia Xingtian persuaded him to stay, saying that he had important matters to discuss.

Everyone bid him farewell. As Ya Fei was leaving, she made a special trip over to say goodbye to him, jokingly telling him to visit the Mittel family's auction sometime, as she would personally host a good dinner for this old acquaintance.

Faced with Ya Fei's smiling face, and recalling the red storage ring and other items she had personally given him when he left Wutan City last time, as well as the embroidery, Xiao Xuanyuan seemed to vaguely understand her meaning and naturally nodded in agreement.

With Ya Fei's beautiful face and her devilishly alluring figure, few men could resist her temptation. In any case, Xiao Xuanyuan was not the kind of man who was oblivious to romance. When a beauty invites you to a rendezvous, how can you refuse? Even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead, you have no choice but to brave them.

After seeing everyone off, only three people remained in the hall: the Emperor and Ao Yun, Jia Lao and Xing Tian, ​​and Princess Yao Ye, who had been secretly summoned back at some unknown time. She had already changed into a noble court dress, a pale yellow long skirt draped over her curvaceous figure, graceful and captivating.

With her bright, clear eyes, noble and elegant natural beauty, delicate nose and cherry lips, and lightly painted eyebrows, she looked like a fairy descended from heaven. In an instant, Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes were glued to her, unable to move an inch.

"So beautiful!" Xiao Xuanyuan thought to himself, marveling at the beauty.

"Greetings, Your Excellency! Thank you for your help!"

Princess Yaoye did not treat Xiao Xuanyuan with arrogance because of her status. On the contrary, she was quite impressed with the young man in front of her because of his outstanding performance.

Previously, during the alchemy competition, I had paid close attention to the young man's talent in alchemy. He was accompanied by several beautiful women, so it was hard not to attract attention. Later, he won first place and stole the limelight by shortening the alchemy time ahead of schedule with a very high success rate and excellent quality.

Right now, he has made a name for himself in the competition with Hui Zhan, which not only helped her and the royal family vent their anger, but also made Princess Yaoye feel very fond of this young man and her heart flutter.

"Who are you?" Xiao Xuanyuan asked, feigning ignorance.

"This is my granddaughter, Princess Yaoye..." Jia Xingtian introduced them with a smile, and that was how they got to know each other.

"Princess Yaoye, you're too kind! It was nothing, just a small favor. If you'd like, you could invite me for a drink alone; that would be a proper way to express my gratitude." Xiao Xuanyuan seized the opportunity, returning the greeting with a slight smile.

He was originally thinking about how to get close to Princess Yaoye, get her, and make her his woman! Now, she's delivered herself right to his doorstep!

Jia Xingtian also wanted to bring the two together. He was extremely satisfied with Xiao Xuanyuan as his grandson-in-law. He nodded slightly in secret and said to his son, Emperor Jia Aoyun, who was standing next to him, "Aoyun, I have something that I need you to handle. Come on, let's go out and deal with it together."

"Oh, okay, okay..."

Jia Aoyun was slightly taken aback, but then realized what was happening and quickly nodded, following Jia Xingtian out. Suddenly, only Xiao Xuanyuan and Princess Yaoye remained in the main hall, creating a rather awkward atmosphere.

The two understood what Jia Xingtian meant, but being alone together so suddenly made them both quite uncomfortable. However, Xiao Xuanyuan, being a man, naturally took the initiative. After all, how could he pick up girls if he was too shy? How could he win over the beautiful Princess Yaoye?

So Xiao Xuanyuan took the initiative to ease the awkwardness: "There's no time like the present, why don't we have a meal together now? I didn't eat enough because of that person earlier!"

Chapter Nineteen: Drunken Dreams

"okay!"

Princess Yaoye was also completely at a loss. She understood what her father and grandfather meant, but as a young woman of marriageable age, this was the first time she had ever been alone with a man like this.

Princess Yaoye invited Xiao Xuanyuan to her palace, Huayan Palace! She said it wasn't quite suitable to be there, and Xiao Xuanyuan readily agreed. This palace was used by the Jia Ma royal family to entertain officials and dignitaries, and it was clearly not suitable for romantic rendezvous under the moon.

After a long and winding journey, we finally arrived at the Huayan Palace. To be honest, this palace was not only large, but also had a complex layout. Everywhere you looked, there were palaces with upturned eaves and corners, all looking very similar. If you weren't familiar with the area, you would definitely get dizzy from all the wandering around.

Huayan Palace, the sleeping quarters of Princess Yaoye, is located in the back garden. Various flowers and exotic plants bloom in competition, displaying a dazzling array of colors and patterns, making it a feast for the eyes. It is far more beautiful and abundant than the garden of the previous main hall. Moreover, as soon as Xiao Xuanyuan arrived, he discovered that the circulation of the Burning Technique within his body had naturally increased significantly.

He was astonished by this miraculous effect.

"This back garden is a treasure trove. Not only are various spiritual herbs and medicinal treasures planted here, but it is also beneficial to cultivation." The old medicine master woke up at some point and whispered.

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded: "The spiritual energy here is abundant, which is very helpful for cultivating battle qi. No wonder those flowers are blooming so brilliantly."

After Princess Yaoye gave the order, maids immediately came to tidy up the stone table and chairs, and served all kinds of delicious dishes from the palace. In the blink of an eye, the table was full.

After taking a look, Xiao Xuanyuan was speechless. The dazzling array of dishes on the stone table were not only visually appealing and delicious, but also of excellent quality, making one's mouth water. Among them were several dishes he recognized, including the unique Emerald Deer Beast Meat found only in Qingshan Town, named "White Deer Auspicious Celebration," which was extremely auspicious and tasted delicious. Xiao Xuanyuan often enjoyed it when he was in Qingshan Town, but it was very expensive and rarely available, making it unaffordable for most people.

After years of hunting and killing, the Emerald Deer monster has become extremely rare. Mercenaries entering the Monster Mountain Range usually find it very difficult to locate, and even if they do, it is extremely difficult to hunt and kill. Therefore, the meat of the Emerald Deer monster is sold at an astronomical price. People without status and position have no way to get their hands on it. Unlike Xiao Xuanyuan, who was so lucky before, not only did he encounter it, but he also killed several. Even in Qingshan Town, given his status and position, he could only eat it once every two or three days, because this thing is very rare.

It's truly amazing to see this at a palace banquet!

"Princess Yaoye, did you specifically go to the Monster Mountain Range to catch this Green Deer monster meat?" Upon seeing the exquisitely presented "White Deer Harmony" delicacy, Xiao Xuanyuan asked the question that had been bothering him.

Upon hearing this, Princess Yaoye covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "There's no need for such trouble. We have the Emerald Deer Demon Beast in our palace."

"Oh, no wonder. Otherwise, traveling such a long distance would be quite troublesome." Xiao Xuanyuan nodded and then sat down.

After serving more than ten dishes, Xiao Xuanyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Princess Yaoye, this is enough. We can't possibly finish so many dishes."

These words amused Princess Yaoye again. She smiled and said, "You are our honored guest. If I do not entertain you properly, my father and grandfather, the Emperor Emeritus, will blame me."

"It's alright, that's enough. I never expected your royal family to be so extravagant. A meal like this, with its delicacies, is equivalent to the food, clothing, and daily necessities of an ordinary family for several years." Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't help but sigh. This was the difference in status and the treatment one could enjoy.

"Then so be it, young master!" Princess Yaoye waved her hand, dismissing all the servants, then raised her cup and poured wine, offering a toast to Xiao Xuanyuan.

When a beautiful woman offers you a drink, how can you refuse? Even if you don't usually like it, you have to go all out and drink with her, even if it means risking your life.

"Princess Yaoye, we've agreed that you can't use your fighting spirit to dispel the alcohol. Otherwise, how can this be considered drinking? It shows a complete lack of manners." After taking a sip, Xiao Xuanyuan made his principles clear first. Otherwise, there would be no point in drinking. It would be better to go back to the guild and spend time with the two maids he had just taken in, letting them serve him well. That would be much more enjoyable.

“Yes, of course.” Princess Yaoye was poised and unpretentious, and soon began drinking with Xiao Xuanyuan. Since drinking always leads to conversation, the two chatted about everything under the sun. Sometimes Princess Yaoye would initiate the conversation, and sometimes Xiao Xuanyuan would, and they enjoyed themselves quite a bit.

In the end, Princess Yaoye even asked Xiao Xuanyuan where he learned his skills and why, at such a young age, his alchemy skills were so advanced and remarkable. Faced with such questions, even though his head was already drunk, Xiao Xuanyuan still had some sense and laughed it off, saying that a reclusive master had taught him.

After asking several times without getting any information, Princess Yaoye had no choice but to give up. The two continued drinking, and Xiao Xuanyuan also asked her where she had learned her alchemy skills, which were so profound.

Princess Yaoye replied, "Danwang Guhe!"

His answer surprised Xiao Xuanyuan slightly. This Pill King was really popular. Not only did he serve as an alchemy elder in the Yunlan Sect, but he also had such a prestigious position in the Jia Ma royal family. He was truly remarkable.

"However, he only has time to guide me occasionally. Most of the time, I am taught by the alchemist instructors that our royal family employs, as well as by the guild leader," Princess Yaoye added.

Hearing this, Xiao Xuanyuan understood that Gu He might just be a figurehead. This was one of the ways the royal family was trying to win him over. They had gained such a talented alchemist as a disciple for no reason, and they could also receive a large sum of money from the royal family every year. It was all free money, so why wouldn't he be happy?

Xiao Xuanyuan nodded slightly and continued drinking with Princess Yaoye until the moon was high in the sky and it was the dead of night. At this time, most of the lights in the palace were dim and everyone had gone to sleep.

"No more wine, no more wine," Princess Yaoye shook the empty wine jar in her hand, her beautiful face flushed with a rosy blush, her eyes extremely hazy. Beside her, a dozen or twenty wine jars were stacked up, all of them empty.

Xiao Xuanyuan stepped forward, drunkenly saying, "Let me see, let me see." He staggered forward, snatched the empty wine jar from Princess Yaoye's hand, shook it, and turned the spout upside down, but couldn't drink a drop. Enraged, he smashed the jar on the ground, yelling, "To hell with it!"

"Come, let me help you rest!" After glancing around and seeing that all the wine had been drunk, Xiao Xuanyuan swayed forward and hugged Princess Yaoye.

"No, this princess can walk by herself, I don't need anyone's help!" Princess Yaoye pushed Xiao Xuanyuan, the drunkard, to the ground. But he was still holding onto Princess Yaoye's arm, so she pulled him down with her, and they both fell to the ground, crashing into Xiao Xuanyuan's chest. He was surrounded by her warm and soft body.

Encouraged by alcohol, Xiao Xuanyuan, who was usually quite smitten with Princess Yaoye when he was sober, had no self-control left.

Seeing the beauty in his arms, without a word, he pounced on her, his mouth covering Princess Yaoye's soft words. His hand unconsciously slipped inside, grasping her small breasts. The lanterns in the pavilion were knocked to the ground, plunging the room into darkness…

Chapter Twenty: Proposing Marriage

A night of wind whispers and spring rain nourishes, filling the air with fragrance atop Huai Shun Peak.

Regardless of life's length or suffering, tonight's triumph will not end!

The spring breeze is triumphant, the horse's hooves are swift, and the gusts of wind and rain bring fragrance.

After spending a passionate night with Princess Yaoye, Xiao Xuanyuan woke up at dawn, just as the sun was beginning to show its pale light. His head throbbed with pain, and when he opened his eyes, the sight before him was a feast for the eyes, making him gasp for breath.
