After having breakfast at home, Su Yan went out to meet up with friends and stroll around the New Year's streets.

Zhou You and Wen Juntong could not be found. The former was tricked by the royal family into fighting in the floating city, while the latter was serving in the Demon Suppression Division's youth training camp and only had two days off during the New Year.

Therefore, Su Yan went directly to the homes of Princess Wuxi, Feng Shiqi, and Princess Luanming.

But when Su Yan went to Princess Wuxi's house, he suddenly discovered a very serious problem.

In the hall where she and Princess Wuxi usually played and frolicked, sat the princess's grandfather, as well as a man and a woman she didn't recognize. The male cultivator's face bore a resemblance to the Third Prince, while the female cultivator's cherry lips were exactly the same as Princess Wuxi's.

Seeing this, Su Yan's heart skipped a beat and she looked embarrassed.

Su Yan, in her fox form, left the hall and revealed her human form. She quickly took out some fruit and gifts from her storage ring, re-entered the room looking like a human, and addressed the crowd:

"This junior is Su Yan of the Su family. Greetings, Your Highness, the Heir Apparent, and the Heir Apparent's Consort."

Su Yan has now acknowledged his ancestry and returned to his clan. He needs to add a prefix to his name when referring to himself. As for whether he should call himself Su or Beihai Dragon Clan, it depends on the requirements.

Anyway, because of Long Ba's interference and influence, after Su Yan's name was registered in the Su family's genealogy, he immediately went to the Black Dragon Clan's genealogy to register it again.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Master Xia smiled and looked at Su Yan, saying, "We were just talking about you, and now you've delivered yourself right to our doorstep. Come on over and sit here."

"Talking about me?"

Su Yan handed the gift to the attendant beside her, and sat down on the left side of the bench with a puzzled look on her face.

Seated at one end of the bench, a man who appeared to be Princess Wuxi's father spoke with a sorrowful expression:

"The matter we were just discussing does have some connection to you, but in general, we're still talking about Ling'er."

The Ling'er mentioned by the princess's father refers to Princess Wuxi's name: Xia Linghuan, without any title.

“I was busy with official duties and was away from home all the time. I only found out that things were going to go wrong after I returned to the capital recently.” Princess Wuxi’s father said helplessly, “Ling’er has been preparing for so long, and her wings have hardened. I feel that she might run away in a while.”

We then discussed whether there was any way to persuade Ling'er to give up her plan to escape.

“Father just recommended you to us, saying that Ling’er has been particularly fond of playing with you lately, and even appointed you as the left protector of his sect. We were wondering if it’s possible to use you to keep Ling’er in check?”

“In the past, it wouldn’t have mattered. After all, the cultivation world is so vast that there is no place that Xia Yu cannot go. However, recently the cultivation world has been somewhat unstable. Some celestial forces have started to break the rules and are swallowing up forces everywhere.”

The cultivation world is in a state of balance. Only territories that a leader-level Celestial Being cannot conquer can be taken over by other Celestial Being forces or made vassals of the leader-level Celestial Being.

Their existence is all tacitly approved.

But ever since Daoist Liuyun appeared and made that shout, those celestial beings have realized something and have begun to annex weaker forces on the periphery of their power, using the means of annexation and devouring to strengthen their own foundation.

These things are all normal. The Wusheng Emperor and the others won't pay attention to them. Everyone just wants to have more options when facing risks. As long as it doesn't harm the vested interests of the leaders, they won't say anything about it.

The forces in the cultivation world are devouring each other. This should have had nothing to do with the Xia Yu Dynasty, after all, the celestial beings who are worthy of being called leaders are known for their ferocity and tyranny within the celestial beings' circle.

They are not only incredibly powerful themselves, but they have even formed alliances with various forces.

No living being wants to provoke those behemoths.

The power structure of the cultivation world is being reshuffled, and Princess Wuxi has already accumulated enough power. If she were to establish her own sect now, she would inevitably be drawn into this great reshuffle that is sweeping across all beings in the cultivation world.

So how could the princess's father not have a headache? They were usually too busy with official duties to take care of their daughter, but that didn't mean that parents didn't care about her. The princess's father didn't want his daughter to get involved in the chaos of war.

“Ling’er is so kind and young. If she gets involved in the conflicts of the cultivation world, who knows how many times she will be deceived by those unscrupulous villains.” The princess’s father sighed and said, “So, we were just discussing arranging a marriage for Ling’er. Could we help her temporarily restrain her rebellious nature and wait until the situation in the cultivation world stabilizes before discussing the matter of her establishing her own sect?”

“Father just recommended you to us. It’s a good match in terms of social standing, and Ling’er likes to play with you. She even took you in as the left protector of her sect. She must trust you a lot.”

"Well, if Young Master Su agrees, and helps us persuade Ling'er to settle down for the time being, then we will..."

"Hey! What kind of drunken rant are you having so early in the morning!"

Just as the princess's father covered his face and expressed his worries and helplessness, the princess in the dressing room received a message from her maid that Su Yan had arrived.

Princess Wuxi was startled. Thinking of her family members meeting Su Yan inside the house, and how her father might very well kick Su Yan out as an impudent person, she hurriedly ran out of the dressing room.

As a result, upon arriving at the door, Princess Wuxi heard her old man rambling incoherently. She was shocked and quickly jumped out to scold the old man who was not yet drunk.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Mind your own business!"

Upon seeing Princess Wuxi burst through the door in a rage, the princess's father's face immediately showed helplessness, and he slowly said, "We have no choice!"

“The situation in the cultivation world is currently turbulent. If you go out now, you will definitely suffer a great loss. Anyway, establishing a career and starting a family is an inevitable part of life. We thought that since the situation in the cultivation world is not good right now, it would be better to take care of starting a family first, and delay the matter of establishing a career later when the situation is stable.”

"Bullshit!"

The princess and her father began to argue.

Meanwhile, Su Yan stared at her father, the princess, with a look of utter disbelief. She tilted her head slightly, giving the Third Prince a question mark in her eyes.

The princess was kind, simple, and gentle. She had never killed any living beings at home and was too young to bear seeing blood.

Old man, are you sure that these words used to describe ladies of noble families are appropriate to describe a princess?

Why is she so different from the princesses I've ever seen? The natives inside the Qian Palace are crying so loudly!

Seeing Su Yan's surprised expression, the Third Prince smiled and transmitted his voice, "Well, isn't it normal for a young girl to have some little secrets? Ling'er's parents are usually busy with rebellion and annexation, creating a new profitable environment for the Xia Yu Dynasty. They only have time to come home and reunite with Ling'er during the New Year."

"Would you tell your parents how many disobedient people you killed today, or how many evil deeds you committed? Obviously, you wouldn't tell your parents these things!"

"Not only will I not say it, but if anyone dares to say it, I'll openly come and cause trouble for them!"

In the hearts of Princess Wuxi's parents, the princess was not the ambitious Princess Wuxi who conquered cities and territories during spring outings, was proficient in interrogation and Taoist studies, but rather the slightly rebellious Miss Xia Yu who did not want to live off the legacy of her ancestors and wanted to rely on her own efforts to make a living.

"Understood."

Su Yan nodded in strong agreement. Just like he never told his fox mother and dragon father about which Nightmare Town disciples he fought with, which Nightmare Town disciples he killed, or whose grave he dug up.

How could I possibly talk about these things? Those things are all in the past; talking about them would only cause unnecessary worry.

"Nonsense! Look how embarrassed my friend is."

After arguing with her parents, Princess Wuxi raised her hand and pointed to Su Yan, who was whispering and complaining to the Third Prince. She then lowered her head and, as if deep in thought, refuted her parents' absurd claims.

"What kind of good person would catch someone and ask if they want a wife? Little Fox and I are so embarrassed right now!"

"My Experience in High-Level Martial Arts Training", Recommendation: Ten thousand meters in the sky, a huge dragon-shaped phantom is swimming, emitting high-pitched dragon roars, and the dragon's might shakes the world.

In the abyss sea, the giant whale king, shaped like a small island, stirred up endless storms and triggered a monstrous tsunami;

In the Endless Forest, a blue-eyed, golden-eyed beast roared to the sky, unleashing countless ferocious beasts that surged forth, forming a terrifying beast tide!

In the world of martial arts, martial prowess reigns supreme, and the strong are paramount.

Fang Yuan arrived in this world by chance, possessing a proficiency system. He could increase his proficiency simply by practicing.

So he started grinding experience like crazy, leveling up each skill and martial art to the maximum level.

Several years later,

Above Qingyan City, facing the boundless beast tide, Fang Yuan transformed into a thousand-meter-tall giant, suppressing the beast tide with one hand and grabbing the neck of the world-destroying giant python with the other, questioning, "I heard you're going to massacre Qingyan City?"

"Nonsense!"

Princess Wuxi, looking displeased, pulled Su Yan up from her chair and walked straight out of the hall towards her dressing room.

In the hall, the princess's father and mother both looked at the Third Prince with helpless expressions.

"Looking at these things won't help you," Third Master Xia waved his hand and said, "Ling'er's temper is exactly the same as the Empress's. Once she's made up her mind, there's no way to persuade her otherwise. She'll get it done no matter what."

"Now you're just being polite and calling me 'Grandpa,' but when things really get heated, Grandpa'll turn into a dead old man."

Regarding the princess's desire to start a business, the Third Prince maintained a neutral stance. After all, everyone had been too busy with official duties to pay much attention to Ling'er's affairs in the past, only providing her with material support and visiting her during the New Year.

Now that their children have grown up and have their own plans and goals, parents who haven't seen them in a while suddenly jump out to try and dissuade them. How do they do that?

You didn't care before, but now you're jumping out to cause trouble and start arguments. Isn't that just picking a fight for no reason?

"Hey"

Princess Wuxi's parents sighed upon hearing this.

………………

Inside the dressing room.

The princess sat in front of the dressing table, with several maids bustling around her, doing her makeup and dressing.

"Don't take my parents' words too seriously; they're just bored," Princess Wuxi said, looking at Su Yan through the reflection in the bronze mirror.

"Is the princess so resistant to marriage?" Su Yan, who had transformed into a little fox, lay on the leather-covered bench, her little fox paws dangling and swinging in the air outside the bench. She turned her head to look at the princess who was putting on her hair ornaments and asked curiously.

"Resist? It's not that I'm against anything. My requirements for marriage are simple: first, I must find someone I like; second, the other party must express an effort to marry me," Princess Wuxi said thoughtfully.

"I must marry him. If he tries to sneak around to my parents and ask for a marriage contract, then one of us will die. I will even mobilize my great-aunt's imperial guards to kill the one who tries to take advantage."

In Princess Wuxi's view, "marrying" and "marrying" are actually two different things. "Marrying" means that she is ugly, unwanted, and kicked out of her family, while "marrying" means that the man has been approved by her and has expressed his sincerity, which has moved her and made her agree to the marriage based on her emotions or other considerations.

"The thought of having my mouth pressed against the lips of someone I have no feelings for or dislike, their aggressive tongue even trying to force its way into my mouth, or the strange smell of leftovers, is simply horrible."

Princess Wuxi, after imagining the scene, shuddered and muttered:

"I simply don't understand how the mouths of those girls in brothels could possibly kiss the mouths of their customers. If I had to choose, I would say it's like brewing poison in a sugar pot, hiding a dagger in one's bosom—killing one wouldn't be a loss, killing a whole room would be a bloodbath."

Princess Wuxi's temperament cannot be simply described as "fierce"; it would be more appropriate to describe it as "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me."

In short, I would rather die than fail.

"."

Seeing how harsh Princess Wuxi's words were, Su Yan, who was lying on the bench, swallowed hard and thought to himself, "Thank you, Princess Wuxi, for sparing my life."

Su Yan had never kissed the princess. However, when he transformed into a little fox and played around, the fox's body could only run normally. If he wanted to grab an object, he could only use actions like biting.

After all, you can't use telekinesis when you're just playing around or practicing biting, right?

Therefore, all Su Yan could say was that he was grateful to the princess for sparing his life.

"Alright, let's go out!"

Princess Wuxi rose from her dressing table, turning around with a smile that caused her dress to flutter slightly. She raised her hand to cover half her face with her sleeve, a natural, lewd grin spreading across her cheeks.
