Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

The Xuanjia Turtle belongs to the Xuanwu Clan, a powerful divine race with divine power, and is dominant in the Star Realm. A divine race like them naturally cannot sit idly by and wait for death. The best way is to unite with other divine races to deal with the isolated and helpless Star Race.

This was precisely what the Star Emperor feared most: the Star Boundary's power had attracted the hostility of other races and forces. Although most would outwardly maintain friendly relations with the Star Boundary, they would always engage in underhanded tactics. This was why the Star Emperor wanted to win over Qin Yu.

He needs an outsider to demonstrate the Astral Plane's sincerity in embracing other races, at least to show other races and forces that they will no longer be hostile to the Astral Plane.

Therefore, an arranged marriage is, in some ways, no different from a forced marriage...

Chapter 427 A Girl's Thoughts

In the Star Palace

The Star Emperor has once again welcomed the Starry Sky.

"Xingyu, is there something you need?"

Looking at his youngest son, the Star Emperor felt a bit conflicted. He didn't know whether giving Xingyu to the elves of the Ancestral State was a good thing or a bad thing.

"Your Majesty, I have a request that you grant before I leave the Star Boundary."

"Speak freely, Xingyu. As long as it's within my power, I will try my best to satisfy you." Since his own son was about to leave, there was nothing the Star Emperor couldn't grant him, as long as it wasn't too excessive.

“That’s wonderful. Actually, my wish is very simple: I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor to grant me this marriage.”

"

An arranged marriage? Between whom?

"My friend Qin Yu and my fourth sister..."

Upon hearing Xingyu's request, the Star Emperor laughed, "Hahaha..."

It seems that Xingyu also realized that his sister and Qin Yu had a close relationship. Indeed, if Xingnai missed out on getting along with her, it would be very difficult for her to get married again.

Moreover, Hoshina and Hoshino have been friends since childhood, so it's understandable that Hoshino wants his sister to marry a reliable person.

"Xingyu, do you know why I made such a big fuss about arranging a match between Star Sword Saint and Qin Yu?"

"..."

Xingyu shook his head.

"It's actually very simple. If you want Qin Yu to join the Star Boundary, you must be able to persuade the other subjects of the Star Boundary, and defeating the Star Sword Saint is the best condition."

Upon hearing the Star Emperor's words, Xingyu realized that the Star Emperor had already considered this matter.

"Your Majesty, do you mean you've considered this matter before?"

“That’s right, but the condition for agreeing to this is that Qin Yu must defeat the Star Sword Saint…”

"I see..." Xingyu pondered for a moment. He still had confidence in Qin Yu, but the Star Sword Saint was no weakling either.

“Since you’ve come to me for help, Xingyu, I can relax the conditions a bit. If Qin Yu can gain the approval of the Star Sword Saint, even if he loses, I will still agree to the marriage.”

"That's great!"

This increased the likelihood of a marriage decree, and Xingyu was pleased that he had secured a greater opportunity for Qin Yu.

Whether Qin Yu is happy or not is another matter, after all, he can't stay in this world forever.

This is both the real world and the fake world; it exists and it does not exist.

Qin Yu decided to take a rest for the time being. He hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time, so this was a good opportunity.

In his dream, there was still an annihilation of darkness; he was still deep within that annihilated space.

However, this time, he saw something different; in the distance, there seemed to be a faint point of light flickering.

Qin Yu saw the light spot approaching him, the distance between them shortening, and the light spot gradually growing larger, but then shrinking back down.

Is it moving forward as well?

Continuing forward, the light spot maintained its distance from Qin Yu, seemingly not wanting him to catch up...

Outside the Second Princess's Room

dong dong dong...

A knock sounded, the door opened, and the Second Princess Xingyue saw Xingna standing at the door, hesitating and struggling.

"Hoshina? What brings you here? Is something the matter?"

Hoshizuki let Hoshina into the house and then closed the door.

Xingna didn't speak, only nodded, seemingly unsure of what to say. This troubled Xingyue greatly. If Xingna didn't say anything, she couldn't just guess, could she? Xingna had previously asked her to give Qin Yu as her bodyguard, and she had agreed. Could it be related to Qin Yu?

"Hoshina, do you want to tell me about Qin Yu?"

Starting with the keywords, Hoshina nodded repeatedly, and Hoshizuki couldn't help but want to laugh, realizing that her younger sister's appearance had already given her away.

"I just wanted to ask Second Sister, what do you think of Qin Yu?"

Hoshizuki was a little unaccustomed to Hoshina speaking to her in this tone; it seemed she was truly in love.

"Well, I haven't spent much time with Qin Yu. All I can say is that he's a very capable person, and you can't really see through him. You might think he's serious, but he'll be joking with you; you might think he's frivolous, but he can be very serious..."

Having only known Qin Yu for a short time, Xingyue had come to this conclusion. She didn't know much more, and she couldn't just make assumptions and judgments about others; that would be irresponsible.

"..." After listening, Hoshina fell silent, because this was not the question she most wanted to ask. She asked this mainly to prepare for the question she was going to ask next and to ease her emotional panic.

"So, what do you think if I let you marry Qin Yu, Second Sister?"

"what?"

Xingyue was a little confused. Why did Xingnai suddenly ask her this? Could it be that she heard something from someone?

"Well, I know too little about Qin Yu. If I were to marry him, I would probably feel very uneasy. If I could refuse, I definitely would."

Xingyue certainly wouldn't want to marry someone she doesn't know well.

"..."

After laying the groundwork, Hoshina asked the next question.

"What if His Majesty the Emperor wishes to bestow a marriage upon us?"

"A marriage decree?"

Hoshina's questions were one after another, and Hoshizuki seemed to have a vague idea of ​​what Hoshina was going to ask him.

“If it is a marriage decree from His Majesty the Emperor, it means that His Majesty already knows Qin Yu and admires his abilities, which is why he is willing to marry his daughter to him. In that case, I have no complaints, after all, he is the one my father has chosen…”

After saying this, Hoshizuki asked Hoshina, "Hoshina, did you hear some rumors from somewhere?"

"..." Xingna hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "It was His Majesty the Emperor. He told me that if Qin Yu could defeat the Star Sword Saint, he would choose either my second sister or me to marry Qin Yu..."

"I see……"

Xingyue suddenly realized why Xingna was cautiously probing her here; it was for something like this.

"So, Xingna really likes Qin Yu?"

"..."

Hoshina lowered her head, her face flushed slightly.

red.

Seeing Hoshina's reaction, Hoshizuki couldn't help but chuckle. If Hoshina didn't object, it meant she agreed.

"His Majesty the Emperor must know that you, Xingnai, are interested in Qin Yu, so he's giving you priority. Isn't that a good thing?"

Xingyue touched Xingnai, never expecting that her younger sister would get married before her.

"Hmm..." Hoshina hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But, Second Sister, I don't know what to do, I'm not ready..."

Although Hoshina is usually very confident in other things, she is a complete novice when it comes to love and knows nothing about it.

"What's there to prepare? Everyone starts from scratch. I can't help you much with this, but I can say that you need to face your true feelings and not use other emotions to cover them up, otherwise you'll only hurt that person..."

Hoshizuki knew Hoshina well, so she directly pointed out Hoshina's weakness: due to her personality, she used other extreme emotions to avoid revealing her true feelings, thus deceiving herself and easing the awkwardness. This is generally called tsundere...

Chapter 428 Star Sword Saint

Awakening from that endless dark dream, Qin Yu felt somewhat exhausted.

"This dream is so bizarre..."

The distant and unattainable light is something that can never be reached. Is this what I am looking for?

"Qin Yu!"

Clang!

Xingyu kicked open the door and rushed in impatiently.

"What's wrong? There's no need to be in such a hurry, is there?" Qin Yu had originally planned to sleep a little longer, after all, that dream was too heavy.

"Of course I'm in a hurry! Come with me to the palace, I need to take you to see the Star Sword Saint first."

Xingyu had finally managed to meet with the Star Sword Saint, who had asked him to meet Qin Yu before the competition, and he couldn't break his promise.

"Is it necessary? Won't we just meet naturally during the competition?" Qin Yu didn't quite understand Xingyu's approach.

"Of course it's necessary; this is the best opportunity for you to understand your opponent!"

Xingyu spoke as if he were quite serious, believing that Qin Yu would definitely be able to find a weakness in the Star Sword Saint by meeting him.

Whether you can understand your opponent just by meeting them is another matter. If we follow your theory, then I would also be understood by meeting him...

Qin Yu had no idea what this guy was thinking; he was being too presumptuous.

"It seems so..." Xingyu paused for a moment, "Never mind, let's go, Qin Yu, we've already made plans, we can't be late."

Xingyu pulled Qin Yu out of bed, and the two of them headed towards the palace.

Inside the palace at this time

The Star Sword Saint was resting with his eyes closed in his room, waiting for Xingyu and Qin Yu to arrive.

To be honest, he also wanted to meet his opponent in advance, and since he had the opportunity, he certainly wouldn't miss it.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
