Chapter 300: Di Hanzhi

Xu Chen strolling into Tian Cheng left the other geniuses stunned.

Especially Xun Yan, whose face was grim.

Damn Di Qiankun—he wouldn't even let me in.

Yet he let Xu Chen in.

Fine, fine, fine—when the Immortal Empire needs support later, will Yaoguang Holy Land even care?

I, the Saint Son, am waiting for you to beg on your knees—and then I'll do nothing.

So Xun Yan sneered: "Di Qiankun, from now on, our two houses have no relation whatsoever."

Di Qiankun gritted his teeth: "Brother Xun, our Empire truly is in internal chaos." Xun Yan sneered: "Is that so? Do you think I'd believe that?"

Di Qiankun took a deep breath: "Then if that's how it is, Brother Xun, be on your way—just don't disturb me."

The implication was clear: he had issued a dismissal.

Xun Yan sneered and said nothing more.

Looks like tonight, I'll need to use some special methods.

Others from different factions, like Yang Han and Ye Xuan.

Their lips were twitching uncontrollably—damn it, it's Xu Chen again.

Every damn time, all the benefits go to Xu Chen. Yang Han growled: "What's going on between Xu Chen and Di Hanzhi? This is insane."

"Damn it, Xu Chen's from the Tianzun Dynasty, Di Hanzhi's from the Immortal Empire—how the hell is he here to treat her?" Zhao Wuji murmured: "Clearly this is Di Hanzhi's own idea—this woman's taken a liking to Xu Chen." Luo Qianshang was speechless: "I knew someone once treated Di Hanzhi's illness, but I never imagined it was fucking Xu Chen." No one could've guessed—not even him, let alone anyone else.

Just now, that damn Xu Chen strolled right in, hand in hand with Princess Di Hanzhi—fucking infuriating.

Had they not seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it.

They narrowed their eyes, waiting—tonight, all of them would get in.

Hmph! Xu Chen thinks he can run rampant alone? That's impossible.

Di Hanzhi, beaming, grabbed Xu Chen's hand and returned to the Princess's Mansion.

She looked shy yet delighted, then gazed at Xu Chen softly: "Hmph! Annoying, you haven't come to see me in ages."

Xu Chen: "..."

Sister, we're not even together—why would I come looking for you?

Still, he figured it'd be wiser to humor her if he wanted to stay here peacefully.

If he pleased this Princess, many things could be accomplished effortlessly.

He grinned: "Here I am. By the way, how's your illness? Last time I had Di Cangqiong bring you Evergreen Grass and Bodhi Nectar."

Hearing this, Di Hanzhi's heart warmed instantly, her eyes turning red: "Thank you—if you hadn't risked your life to seize these two Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, I wouldn't have recovered."

I heard from my sixth brother—you fought against every sect and clan back then, all just for me. I never thought you'd care for me this much." Xu Chen: "..." Is this girl starting to self-seduce?

Holy shit, this is getting insane.

Those two Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures? He'd just happened to grab them.

But the effect now? Actually pretty good.

At least Di Hanzhi was looking at him with pure gratitude now.

So in this life, he probably wouldn't suffer Di Hanzhi's schemes anymore.

In his last life, during the Immortal Empire's major plotline, Di Hanzhi had made his life hell.

The Dark Son of Heaven's methods and power? Not something to joke about.

That Death Qi nearly killed him—he remembered his hair turning white.

Xu Chen coughed: "I already said we should be friends, right? For a friend, I'd walk through fire."

Di Hanzhi leaned close to Xu Chen, her breath light and fragrant: "Just friends?" As she spoke, that faint scent of hers washed over him again, instantly soothing his spirit.

She naturally carried this scent—it was truly unique. Xu Chen immediately said: "If you want to take me as your big brother, that's fine too." Di Hanzhi puffed her cheeks: "I meant I want to be your wife." Xu Chen blinked: "But we're from different countries—this..."

Di Hanzhi hurriedly said: "If you say yes, I'll leave with you right now—go to the Tianzun Dynasty."

Xu Chen whistled—damn, she's serious.

They barely even knew each other—why was she so fixated on him?

Before Xu Chen could respond,

Di Hanzhi leaned in again and kissed him directly.

This time, Xu Chen's eyes widened again.

Fuck! I've got the heroine's script again.

He'd been kissed like this before—not the first time.

After a minute, Di Hanzhi looked serious yet shy: "I'm serious, Chen—marry me." Xu Chen studied her expression—it felt strange.

... Requesting flowers...

He asked curiously: "Are you facing some kind of problem?" Di Hanzhi sighed softly: "My father plans to marry me off to the Crown Prince of Taihua Imperial Dynasty."

This time, no other factions can enter the Immortal Empire—but that Crown Prince can. Chen, if you don't take me away now, I'll become someone else's woman." As she spoke, her face grew pale, her expression sorrowful.

Xu Chen rolled his eyes—if he didn't know she was the Dark Son of Heaven, he might've believed her.

Once your identity as the Dark Son of Heaven is revealed, even your father would tremble before you.

Still, she's acting damn well—perfect performance. Xu Chen asked curiously: "I remember your Imperial Dynasty's Princesses marry by throwing the embroidered ball—something about following Heaven's will, warding off evil?"

Di Hanzhi pouted: "It's all just surface ritual—a formality."

Tomorrow I'll throw the ball—but in truth, the Taihua Imperial Dynasty's Crown Prince Yan Ming will inevitably catch it.

And tomorrow's event will be grand—the possibility of the Undying Medicine appearing is high. Once it does, we'll strike with lightning force to capture it." Xu Chen nodded: "Looks like a two-for-one deal—but why can Yan Ming be certain to catch the ball?"

Di Hanzhi sighed: "The ball's rigged—inside it's a Jade Pendant. Yan Ming will have one too."

They're a matched pair—when within range, they automatically attract and fuse." Xu Chen understood—damn, then how the hell did Ye Xuan snatch the ball back then?

Could it be that Ling Zunzhe saw through it and forcibly destroyed it?

He felt this possibility was indeed quite high.

He smiled: "Tomorrow I'll help you catch the embroidered ball, alright?"

Upon hearing this, Di Hanzhi immediately became excited and kissed Xu Chen several more times: "Love you." As long as Xu Chen caught that embroidered ball, even her father would have nothing to say.

Xu Chen was cheerful; he wasn't worried at all.

The Tianzun Dynasty and the Immortal Empire cannot form a marriage alliance.

By then, the wedding will surely be called off.

Tomorrow, his main goal is to see where the Undying Medicine is.

In his past life, the Undying Medicine loved a lively scene, and it indeed appeared.

In this life, it should be no exception.

... Ten thousand.
