Chapter 1257 1283: Princess Qingyou's Choice

"This isn't really a hardship. He's mainly looking for Chu Cheng and his wife, and the battle with my father was just to get everyone's attention so they could be found. Yet, his identity is quite frightening," King Zhao said.

"Identity? Isn't he a person from the Netherworld, coming from the Immortal Realm?" Princess Qingyou asked in surprise.

"That's right. He is indeed from the Immortal Realm, and he's also the strongest there. If King Lin and King Gu dare to cause trouble in Qingyou City, they are doomed this time. Just wait and see the show!" King Zhao replied.

"So powerful? The strongest in the Immortal Realm? How is this possible? The entrance to the Netherworld and the Immortal Realm has been unknown for millions of years. How did he get in? Besides, King Lin, King Gu, and the Beast King are also super strong from the Netherworld. He may not be able to defeat them, right?" Princess Qingyou asked.

"Whether he can or not, I'm not sure, but one thing is certain: if they cause trouble, they'll definitely not return. You just need to follow your own wishes; no one can threaten you. Do you understand now?" King Zhao said.

Upon hearing King Zhao's words, Princess Qingyou felt ripples in her heart. Being the wife of the strongest in the Immortal Realm was certainly a source of pride. Although this secret couldn't be revealed at the moment, it still made her genuinely happy.

Afterward, Lin Feng left Chu Cheng's room and returned to Princess Yiyi's room. Upon entering, he saw the Jade Immortal Emperor was there too, and said, "Jade, please work hard tonight and secretly protect Cheng'er. I worry some vile characters might harm Cheng'er. If anything happens, immediately send a message, ensuring they don't return."

"Rest assured, Master. Jade knows what to do! There will definitely be a big battle this time. Master, you should rest early. Tomorrow is a good day for Chu Cheng!" said the Jade Immortal Emperor.

"You be careful too. Open attacks are easy to avoid, but hidden arrows are hard to defend against! After Cheng'er's matters are settled, we'll go back!" Lin Feng said.

The Jade Immortal Emperor said no more, quietly left, while Lin Feng lay down and began to relax with his eyes closed.

"Lin Feng, are you planning to leave? What will happen to me and Cheng'er after you go?" Princess Yiyi asked at that moment.

"We'll talk about it then! Maybe I'll take you with me. Do you want your husband to take good care of you tonight?" Lin Feng smiled as he said.

Princess Yiyi's face immediately blushed, "Yiyi will accompany you to the end!"

"Old and worn out? Yiyi, you're joking! You look just like a young maiden now. If you want me to praise your beauty, just say it. Why say it like this?" Lin Feng laughed.

"You scoundrel! You already know, why say it out loud? I'm not talking to you anymore!" Princess Yiyi turned around immediately...

The night passed safely, with no one making any negative moves against Chu Cheng. It seemed Lin Feng had worried unnecessarily. The next morning, everyone returned to the square, but this time King Zhao and Princess Qingyou personally took to the stage.

Princess Qingyou specially dressed up and removed the veil from her face, revealing her original appearance. Her breathtaking beauty drove countless people crazy, and naturally, these were her admirers. Her every smile and gesture was enchanting, drawing most people's attention.

At that moment, Chu Cheng also stood amidst the crowd since today was the real focus. That purple-clad young master was also present, and with Lin Feng's help, Chu Cheng's injuries had mostly healed. However, he was not focusing on Princess Qingyou but on the purple-clad young master nearby.

"Thank you all for attending this Talent Selection Gathering in Qingyou City. The gathering has now ended, with fifty-six outstanding talents selected, and I will strive to cultivate them to let their potential be fully realized," King Zhao paused as he said this.

After his speech, applause rose, with many faces showing excited smiles. Of course, some were indifferent, such as the purple-clad young master.

"Now it is time for my daughter Qingyou to choose a husband. This choice of husband is her own idea, and I shall not interfere. We will wait and see who can become her chosen husband!" King Zhao proclaimed loudly.

Immediately, sharp screams and discussions erupted within the crowd, guessing who Princess Qingyou would choose as her husband. Some said it might be the purple-clad young master because his looks, temperament, and strength were all superior. Others said it could be the first-place Chu Cheng, but few believed it would be Chu Cheng.

This was because his transformation into the Golden Dragon was symbolic of having Beast Race blood, intermarriage with the Beast Race had been scarce since ancient times, and as the princess of Qingyou City, Princess Qingyou certainly couldn't marry the Beast Race easily. Plus, Chu Cheng's transformation into the Golden Dragon made his identity even more mysterious, leading many to doubt him.

At this moment, Princess Qingyou looked at the crowd below and smiled slightly, "Thank you all for coming to Qingyou City. Qingyou knows this act may hurt many admirers of Qingyou's heart, but Qingyou is only one person, and naturally cannot satisfy everyone's hopes. Please understand Qingyou!"

Her voice rang out like a silver bell in everyone's ears, causing many of the youths who passed through to have nosebleeds, with another round of surprised exclamations echoing from their mouths.

Princess Qingyou subtly motioned for everyone to quiet down, "Choosing a husband is a lifelong matter, so Qingyou must be cautious. After careful consideration, Qingyou decided to choose the first-place winner from the Martial Pass as Qingyou's husband!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished; faces showed disappointment, frustration, anger, and madness. Each one cast hateful glances at Chu Cheng, wishing to tear him apart.

Especially Purple-clad Young Master Gu Gui, who was livid, especially after seeing Princess Qingyou's stunning appearance. He shuddered and swore to have her, wanting her to make delightful sounds beneath him.

Unexpectedly, this dead girl didn't choose him, instead opting for someone without status or position, undoubtedly slapping him and his father's face. This was intolerable.

"Kid, don't get ahead of yourself. What qualifies you to win Qingyou's favor? If you truly have the ability, duel me. Whoever loses will give up on Qingyou. Do you dare?" The purple-clad young master asked.

Chu Cheng glanced at the guy and laughed, "A duel, huh? It's a simple matter, but I don't have time. If you want to challenge, find someone else!"

"You, you!" The purple-clad young master almost went frantic with anger over Chu Cheng's words…
