Chapter 29

"Your Highness Princess, you are too kind. Feihuang, come here quickly!" Seeing Princess Xue Ke, Nan Tianchen immediately beckoned Nan Feihuang over.

The first meeting between a betrothed couple still needed to be seized.

Princess Xue Ke looked at Nan Feihuang before her with curiosity, thinking to herself, "Is he the person Father said would take care of me for the rest of my life? He looks quite handsome, but I wonder if he has a good temper. I heard he is very powerful; what if he bullies me in the future? If only he were as gentle as my eldest brother!"

After all, she was only a six-year-old girl. No matter how well-mannered Princess Xue Ke was, she could not help but let her imagination run wild upon meeting Nan Feihuang for the first time.

In truth, she did not really understand the meaning of a political marriage, but she knew that she would marry the little brother in front of her in the future, which meant they would sleep together every night just like her father and mother.

Nan Feihuang walked forward, but his gaze did not linger on Princess Xue Ke for too long; although this little loli was very cute, it was a pity he preferred mature women.

Therefore, his gaze was more focused on Xue Qinghe.

"Future brother-in-law, why are you looking at me like that?" Xue Qinghe asked with confusion.

"It is nothing. I have always heard of the wisdom of the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. You have always been my role model, and I very much hope to become a Crown Prince loved by the people just like you. Seeing my idol today, I could not help but look a few more times!" Nan Feihuang laughed.

"Oh, so you admire my brother just like I do! That is wonderful!" Princess Xue Ke was pleasantly surprised.

This was her first time meeting Nan Feihuang, and she had been worried about what to do if they had absolutely nothing in common in the future; they couldn't just spend their whole lives in silence.

Now that she learned they actually shared the same idol, it could not be better.

Anyway, to this naive little loli, her elder brother Xue Qinghe, who had raised her since she was small, was the best and greatest person in the world; even her father could not compare to her eldest brother.

Her world was very simple now: as long as you also like my eldest brother, then we are friends.

"Feihuang, these few days, you must properly host the Crown Prince and the Princess. Your mother and I must go to the Spirit Hall with your father to accept the title conferred by the Pope," Lan Xue said.

She had originally wanted to hold the Title Ceremony in their own kingdom, but since Bibi Dong had invited her, she had to give Bibi Dong this face.

"Yes, Father and Mother!" Nan Feihuang replied.

He did not have much interest in Princess Xue Ke, but he did not mind having a good chat with Xue Qinghe.

However, he overlooked one point: Xue Qinghe had no interest in him either.

Who would be interested in chatting with a six-year-old brat? Nan Feihuang's innate Soul Power level was only eight, which was not enough to catch Xue Qinghe's eye.

As a result, the next day, after Lan Xue and Nan Tianchen departed, Xue Qinghe brought Princess Xue Ke to the entrance of Nan Feihuang's room.

Nan Feihuang opened the door, and she directly tossed the little loli into Nan Feihuang's arms. "Brother-in-law, I leave my sister to your care. You don't need to host me; I will go stroll around the royal city myself."

Just kidding—letting Nan Feihuang host her? That was no different from letting her take care of two brats.

She didn't want to. Taking care of Princess Xue Ke was tiring enough; she didn't want to deal with this kid Nan Feihuang either. Anyway, they wouldn't encounter any danger here.

Having left the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, she could finally shed the fake identity of Xue Qinghe and be herself; she did not want to waste time on two children.

Having said that, she did not even give Nan Feihuang a chance to react before she spread a pair of wings and flew away.

Leaving Nan Feihuang behind, looking at the little loli in his arms, completely bewildered.

Princess Xue Ke blinked her big eyes at Nan Feihuang. "Brother Feihuang, Big Brother told me to follow you, so where are we playing today?"

After all, she was only a six-year-old child. Yesterday, with the elders present, she had kept in mind the etiquette learned at Yuexuan, but now, in front of a peer, her true colors were immediately revealed.

Nan Feihuang had no experience in taking care of a six-year-old child either. Although the physical age of Lv Lingqi, Xun Yu, and the others was also six, their mental ages were not.

"Um, Princess Xue Ke, let me take you around our royal palace," Nan Feihuang said.

A six-year-old child was physically weak. He thought that by taking Princess Xue Ke for a walk and chatting, he could cultivate a childhood-sweetheart-like bond while also tiring her out quickly to coax her to sleep, thus freeing himself.

He did not expect that he was wrong.

This little girl, Princess Xue Ke, was full of energy, especially when talking about her eldest brother.

As they strolled, Princess Xue Ke chattered incessantly. "Brother Feihuang, you admire my eldest brother too, right? Let me tell you, my eldest brother is truly amazing. Every time I go out with him, the people love him very much, and many noble sisters want to marry him too. Hehe, it's a pity he only dotes on me, his little sister."

"But don't worry, when you come to my house in the future, he will definitely dote on you too."

Princess Xue Ke spent a full two hours showing off her eldest brother to Nan Feihuang.

Even when her feet grew tired and they found a pavilion to rest, her mouth showed no signs of dryness.

It turned out this Princess was actually a top-tier brother-complex.

"By the way, Brother Feihuang, what do you admire about my eldest brother?" Princess Xue Ke asked curiously.

"I crave her body," Nan Feihuang blurted out, accidentally speaking the truth.

"Hmm?" Princess Xue Ke tilted her head, indicating she did not understand Nan Feihuang's words.

"Uh, I mean, I admire her from head to toe, her heroism, wisdom, benevolence, and so on..." Nan Feihuang spouted a long list of compliments he could think of, without repeating a single one, as if he were telling a lie with his eyes open.

Yet, it hit Princess Xue Ke's sweet spot instantly.

Her little head nodded frantically. "Yes, yes, yes! That is exactly what I think too. Brother Feihuang, you are such a good person. Actually, before, when Father said I should marry you when I grow up, I was always a bit afraid, but now I am willing, because you also like my eldest brother. Anyone who likes my eldest brother must be a good person."

"Hehe, thank you, Your Highness Princess!" Nan Feihuang responded helplessly to the little princess.

He had not expected that one day he would have to rely on praising another "man" to win the heart of his fiancée.

Meanwhile, the central figure in their conversation was currently walking through the fields outside the city.

She was observing the ecology of the Gu Lei Kingdom.

"This place borders the Tianshuang Principality, yet it is not as cold as that side. Instead, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, with moderate snowfall every year. 'A timely snow promises a good harvest'—the ancients did not deceive me. No wonder this kingdom's agriculture is so developed; the main reason must be the climate." Xue Qinghe thought to herself that once she unified the world in the future, she would definitely develop this Gu Lei Kingdom into an agricultural hub.

In her view, this territory still had many areas that could be developed.

The current marriage alliance between Princess Xue Ke and Nan Feihuang was a good opportunity. Princess Xue Ke had a blind admiration for her, and she would certainly be able to make good use of it.

Before her "love-struck" state took hold, Qian Renxue's heart was always filled with the ideal of unifying the world.
