Chapter 845: A Tournament for Marriage?
Tang San froze for a moment, and then cold sweat began to drip down his back.
What smell? It must be from when Ling’er grabbed my arm earlier! Even though he had teleported away immediately, some of her scent must have lingered. He hadn’t expected Mei Gongzi's sense of smell to be so sharp. As expected of a tiger, I suppose?
But as a former God King, Tang San's mental fortitude was impeccable. He feigned confusion for a moment before giving a helpless smile. "I went to a magical place, filled with fire energy. Could it be you’re sensing the change in my aura? Don’t worry, after I cultivate there for a while, I’ll bring back some good things that will greatly help your Immortal Flame Phoenix bloodline."
"Is it the scent of the fire element? It does seem like it, and it's very pure..." Mei Gongzi murmured.
Tang San quickly changed the subject, asking, "What happened? Why did you call me back?"
Mei Gongzi turned around and replied, "The Ancestral Court has sent envoys twice, urging me to marry. My father and I have been discussing it, but we don’t know how to handle it."
At this point, Xiao He stepped forward and explained the Ancestral Court's demands and his own assessment to Tang San.
Tang San listened carefully, and his brow gradually furrowed.
Just as Xiao He had said, the Ancestral Court's open strategy could not be directly shut down. It was a reasonable request given the circumstances, and even having the support of a few Demon Emperors wouldn’t suffice if they wanted to decline.
