The Adventure of All Worlds Starting from Doupo
Chapter 229: Engagement Troubles
Xiao Zhen reached one hand into the large barrel filled with Ice Spirit Cold Spring and felt the biting chill on his hand. Then he withdrew his hand with satisfaction.
He looked at the layer of frost forming on the surface of his palm, and even some of the blood inside had turned into ice. Of course, this was also related to the fact that Xiao Zhen did not use any fighting spirit to protect himself.
"This Ice Spirit Cold Spring is indeed very powerful. After just a brief contact, my hands turned into ice. No wonder it can be used to dissipate the erosion of strange fire!"
Xiao Zhen felt a sigh of emotion, and suddenly a flame appeared on his frozen arm, and it returned to normal in a short while.
"I won't say any more unnecessary words. I will repay your kindness a hundredfold in the future!" Xiao Zhen patted his chest and said solemnly.
Fa Ma knocked on the table and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have something else to congratulate you, kid. This bucket of Ice Spirit Cold Spring is a gift from your master!"
Xiao Zhen tilted his head and showed a confused expression.
"Master, what do you mean? I don't understand." Xiao Zhen asked puzzledly.
Could it be my birthday? That doesn’t make sense. I guess I’ll have to wait until next year for my next birthday.
Fa Ma looked at the disciple who didn't know anything and asked in confusion: "How long have you been back? Haven't you been home once?"
Xiao Zhen shook his head and asked blankly, "I don't know anything. When I first returned to the imperial capital, I did go home. I just hurriedly reported to my parents and then came here to find you!"
Fa Ma chuckled, pointed at Xiao Zhen's cheek, and scolded with a smile: "It seems that you really don't know anything, but it's not a bad thing. It's a good thing for you. You got a young wife for free!"
Young wife? Xiao Zhen was still confused. Where did he get a young wife? Could it be that the old man in the family was messing around again?
Xiao Zhen looked at Fa Ma's laughing face and couldn't help but slap the table and asked seriously: "My good teacher, stop laughing and tell me what happened!"
Seeing that the boy was a little bit over the top, Fa Ma stopped laughing and slowly explained:
"The story began two days ago. That day, the old man Jia Xingtian suddenly came to me and then forcibly dragged me to your house.
At that time, I didn't expect that Jia Xingtian would be so willing to invest. The old man wanted to give his precious granddaughter, Princess Yaoye, to you as your fiancée.
Your father was also frightened at the time, and then he asked if it was a marriage between the princess and his wife. After finding out that it was really a marriage between the princess and his wife, he agreed without hesitation! "
Xiao Zhen then recalled that when he was at home just now, the people at home looked at him strangely, even his father was confused.
Xiao Zhen said helplessly: "What's going on? Can't you wait for me to come back and discuss it properly?"
Fa Ma shook his head and said with a smile: "There is nothing we can do about it. Your father agreed at the time, and as a teacher, it is not easy for me to interfere in your life!
But it’s too late for you to regret now. The marriage contract has been signed, and even the dowry has been delivered to your door in advance. Just accept your fate!
Don’t say I didn’t tell you now. I estimate that in three or four days, this news will spread throughout the Jiama Empire.”
Xiao Zhen felt overwhelmed. Of course he liked beautiful women, but Yao Ye was just a little girl of five or six years old now, so he had to wait for another ten years before he could make a move.
Moreover, he and Yao Ye's father, the former prince Jia Tiannan, had always been brothers and had often drunk together. Now that the other party had suddenly become his nominal father-in-law, he always felt a little awkward. How could he have the face to see his old friends?
The most important thing is Die. Although this woman usually says that she doesn't care if he finds other women, this is definitely just talk and should not be taken seriously.
Why doesn't Xiao Zhen dare to confess Huazi's existence to Die now? Isn't it because he is afraid that this woman will get jealous and go crazy?
Seeing his disciple looking so sad, Fa Ma couldn't help but stretch out his hand and pat Xiao Zhen on the shoulder.
"Why are you looking so miserable, kid? Don't be so ungrateful. I've also seen the old man's great-granddaughter. She's very delicate and will definitely be a great beauty in the future!"
"Oh!" Xiao Zhen couldn't help but sigh, walked to the office window, and looked up at the bustling scene on the street.
Xiao Zhen was thinking sadly at this time. The old man next to him had been a bachelor all his life and he had never heard of him getting married. Of course, he could not understand his inner pain.
Fortunately, Fa Ma didn’t know what Xiao Zhen was thinking, otherwise he would have called him a traitor.
At this time, in a bustling food street, Die was eating and drinking with Qinglin.
Now Qinglin has changed into gorgeous clothes, and has completely transformed from a little beggar into a wealthy lady.
Even Qinglin's grandmother changed into white clothes. If it weren't for her sad face, she might have pretended to be a wealthy old lady.
"Qinglin, is this juice delicious? It is said that this is a century-old brand and the signature of that store. One cup costs ten gold coins!" Die touched Qinglin's emerald green hair and asked softly.
Qing Lin held a glass of red drink in his hand and said timidly, "It's... delicious. Thank you, godmother!"
Looking at Qinglin's cute face, Die couldn't help but pinch it and said with a snicker, "If it tastes good, we'll come here more often. Anyway, your godfather is an alchemist, and the last thing he lacks is money. Even if he loses everything, he can still earn it back!"
The old woman looked at the smile on her granddaughter's face, and some of the grudges in her heart finally disappeared. No matter whether Qinglin could survive the limit of being a mixed-blood in the future, she should be able to live happily in this limited time.
Die then took Qinglin's hand and said happily, "Let's go to the store in front. I've eaten there before. The meatballs in their store are very good. It is said that they are made from the meat scraped from the third-level monsters. The taste is very delicious."
Qinglin touched his belly and felt that he was a little full today, but it was difficult to refuse his godmother's kindness.
Suddenly, a luxurious carriage with royal emblems slowly drove into the food street.
"That sister should be here, right? I came here to meet her properly. I wonder what kind of person she is?"
Suddenly, a sweet voice like that of a yellow oriole was heard from the crowd, but there was a hint of childishness in the voice, so it was probably that the owner of the voice was not very old.
A guard with a long sword on his waist said respectfully: "Your Highness, according to the information sent by the scouts, the snake girl named Die is now in the food street, accompanied by an old woman and a little girl!"
Die was eating the chewy and delicious meatballs, with an expression of enjoyment on his face. Qinglin and his grandmother couldn't eat any more. After all, not everyone has a stomach like Die.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived!"
Following this shout, all the people on the street knelt down and saluted. This was a sign of respect for the royal family. Ordinary people had no right to resist such a rule.
Of course, if your fist is big enough, for example, if you have the power of a Dou Wang or Dou Huang, you don’t have to kneel, and you can even let the princesses and princes of the royal family treat you with courtesy.
After a while, a loli walked down from the gorgeous carriage.
Die secretly looked at the princess. Although she looked only five or six years old, she was dressed very gorgeously in a golden robe, showing the nobility of a royal family.
