Chapter 1022 - 972: Should I Guarantee You Two Have a Child?

As soon as the immortal painting was mentioned.

Before Shui Qinyue could react.

Xiao Rou by her side was already nervously anxious, "Princess, the immortal painting is crucial to Shuiyuan Country’s survival, you must not agree!"

The saying goes that the emperor is not anxious but the eunuch is, which is the typical portrayal.

In fact, it’s understandable why Xiao Rou is anxious, after all, she knows the princess all too well.

For that bastard Shura Venerable, she’s willing to give up even the dignity of a noble princess, even breaking away from the King doesn’t matter to her, for that damned bastard, she seems to have long lost her bottom line.

Exchanging the immortal painting for a chance to get close to Shura Venerable, this seemingly unequal and almost absurd condition, would be impossible for others, but for the princess, it’s hard to say!

Upon hearing this, how could maid Xiao Rou not realize it’s part of their cleverly guided tactic?

It’s likely that from the very beginning, their target was the immortal painting, and they have also grasped the princess’s psyche!

Damn it!

Being friends with that bastard, obviously, couldn’t be a good person; this Chen Futu is full of sinister intentions!

Thinking of this, the words fell, and maid Xiao Rou viciously glared at Chen Futu.

Yet, the latter shrugged helplessly.

The meaning was clear, I’m not forcing her!

Indeed, there was no coercion involved; on the contrary, it was an utterly straightforward trade!

Just behind this trade, Chen Futu’s sinister intentions are undeniable.

As maid Xiao Rou suspected, he has accurately grasped Shui Qinyue’s weakness!

Not immediately responding to Chen Futu’s words.

Ignoring Xiao Rou’s words as well.

As the Princess of Shuiyuan Country, how could she not understand the importance of that immortal painting?

Yet inexplicably, she couldn’t suppress her wild urge.

In Chen Futu’s unhurried wait, she struggled with complex emotions for a moment.

Then said, "Can we change the terms?"

"I’m only interested in the immortal painting, other terms aren’t worth taking the risk! Do you think that bastard is some saint? He might end up killing me!"

Chen Futu said with an indifferent laugh.

"Princess, don’t be impulsive! Even if he could create an opportunity for you to be close to Shura Venerable, does it guarantee that Shura will acknowledge you? The immortal painting is Shuiyuan Country’s national treasure, the disparity is too great!" Xiao Rou exclaimed urgently.

"Xiao Rou is right, if I could stay by his side and become his woman, then I would agree!" Shui Qinyue gritted her teeth, evidently retaining some rationality.

But those words made Chen Futu curse inwardly.

Damn!

Staying by his side and becoming his woman?

How the hell is that something I can arrange?

Am I supposed to be his father?

Even if I were, I couldn’t interfere with him!

If I had the power to control him, why would I be eyeing your Shuiyuan Country’s painting?

With an annoyed roll of his eyes.

Chen Futu said, "You want me to promise you’ll have a child too? Damn, I don’t have that capability! All I can do is take the risk of being your matchmaker! Whether you become someone by his side depends on your capability, so make the trade or forget it! Goodbye!"

With that, Chen Futu waved theatrically.

Mu Zhi flicked the donkey’s head.

The donkey immediately began to walk with Chen Futu riding backward.

"Wait!"

Watching the donkey gradually walk away.

Shui Qinyue’s face showed a rush of madness.

"Princess!" Once the exhaled relief turned into sudden tension, Shui Qinyue exclaimed in alarm.

Yet the resolved Shui Qinyue was unmoved.

"Whoa!"

Patting the donkey, the donkey immediately stopped, Chen Futu said, "Are you agreeing?"

"I agree with you!"

"Well, well, well, it seems the princess has foresight! If that bastard becomes Shuiyuan Country’s Prince Consort, what’s a mere painting worth, right?" Chen Futu slyly stated in earnest.

"What are your plans?" Not wanting to think about so-called foresight, Shui Qinyue said.

"Three days from now, meet me here! Don’t worry, I’m not someone who cons others, I’ll let you meet him before you hand over the painting! How about it, is that okay?" Chen Futu displayed false calmness.

Yet inside, he was tumultuous!

Many covet that immortal painting of Shuiyuan Country, but that’s all they can do because no one dares to take the risk of seizing it; once the painting is opened and summons the Immortal Will, even an Independent Immortal would be annihilated, no one dares to face such a grim fate!

Initially, Chen Futu wouldn’t have dared to entertain such an idea, but unwittingly crashing into this scenario, how could someone full of trickery let go of such an opportunity to reap benefits?

Plus, Futu always plays big or doesn’t play at all!

"Alright! But I need to put it bluntly first; if you dare deceive me despite knowing the importance of the immortal painting, even as Shura’s friend, I won’t let you live!" Shui Qinyue sternly stated.

"Hahaha, noble princess, even if you gave me a hundred guts, I wouldn’t dare trick Shura Venerable’s woman! Remember, three days hence, I’ll be here waiting! Xiao Hui, let’s go!"

No doubt about it.

Chen Futu’s interpersonal intelligence is rather high.

A casual mention of Shura Venerable’s woman made Shui Qinyue’s face blossom into a smile.

Watching Chen Futu ride the backward donkey into the distance.

Maid Xiao Rou withdrew her gaze solemnly back to Shui Qinyue, "Princess, think thrice! Moreover, the immortal painting is the King’s personal belonging; how could you possibly obtain it? Even if you could, think carefully, is it worth it? It’s about Shuiyuan Country’s future! Once it’s known Shuiyuan Country lost the immortal painting, countless evil forces would come to oppress us!"

"Chen Futu is right, if Shura could become Shuiyuan Country’s Prince Consort, what’s an immortal painting worth? Compared to the painting’s intimidation, people would fear Shura more! Xiao Rou, we only have three days, let’s return to Shuiyuan Country immediately!" Moved by being called Shura Venerable’s woman, Shui Qinyue’s radiant smile remained unfading.

With that, she turned around and strode away.

This left Xiao Rou behind with tightly furrowed brows.

Making Shura Venerable Shuiyuan Country’s Prince Consort?

Is that possible?

Princess, how long do you plan to deceive yourself?

Yet Xiao Rou knew, in this situation, no matter how much she persuaded, it wouldn’t change any of the princess’s decisions.

Because she’s already obsessed!

Completely bewitched in her own hopeful fantasies!
