Chapter 213: The Dragon Princess Proposes to Me
“Um…”
“Did I hear that right?”
Many people looked at the scene with incredulous expressions.
“The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady seemed to say… that if Ye Xuan’s affection was for her, she would defy the Heavenly Emperor and descend to help him?”
“I think that’s what she said.”
“Probably?!”
At this moment, many cultivators felt their beliefs starting to collapse. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady was the immortal war goddess who had once helped the Human Emperor quell the demon race in ancient times.
How could she possibly fall for someone like Ye Xuan?
“Everyone, don’t misunderstand. I think what the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady meant was that if Ye Xuan admired her, she would help him out of benevolence. It’s not that she truly has feelings for Ye Xuan.”
“Yes, exactly. It makes sense that a goddess wouldn’t fall for a mortal.”
“What has Ye Xuan done to deserve it, just because he plays the flute well?”
While everyone was discussing, the scene changed again.
————
“Haha, Brother Ye Xuan, you still say you don’t like me–!!!” At that moment, the Dragon Princess suddenly descended from the sky, standing beside Ye Xuan with a triumphant smile. “I heard everything–!!!”
“Uh…” Ye Xuan, who was in sorrow, was stunned to see the Dragon Princess reappear.
She looked at Ye Xuan with a happy smile and said, “What do you think? Didn’t expect me to come back, right? Did you think I was as naive as when I was a child, to be fooled by you once and then again?”
“I pretended to believe your words just to hear your true feelings–! Oh my, you cried, didn’t you? So embarrassing, crying like that. Were you reluctant to part with me? If you miss me so much, why not marry me and come back with me?”
—————
“Uh…”
The onlookers, who had been shocked by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s words, were now taken aback again by the reappearance of the Dragon Princess.
Especially Mo Qingshang, who had finally made up his mind that even if the Dragon Princess had once married Ye Xuan, he wouldn’t mind. He had just relaxed when she left, only for her to reappear.
Oh no–!!!
His face turned pale…
—————
“You… you…” At this moment, Ye Xuan was also flustered.
He hadn’t expected the Dragon Princess to return. He wiped away his tears and said to her, “You were dreaming. Everything you saw was fake–!!!”
“Uh… pfft… hahahaha–!!!” The Dragon Princess laughed heartily.

“Pfft… giggle… husband, you… you’re too funny.” Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but laugh too.
She remembered that Ye Xuan had once shown such a flustered look in front of her, but it had been a long time since she had seen it.
Back then, Ye Xuan must have had deep feelings for the Dragon Princess.
Qingxue also smiled quietly, looking at Ye Xuan with a strange expression: “Ye Xuan, why did you say such naive things back then? It’s so cute.”
Ye Xuan explained that he was just improvising…
Hu Qianzao was also inexplicably excited, her nine tails swaying behind her as she watched the scene unfold. She felt like she was witnessing a real-life drama. She was curious about what would happen next.
However, the person with the strangest expression was the Dragon Princess herself. It was one thing to know that Ye Xuan didn’t like them, which was awkward enough, but now knowing that Ye Xuan did like them made her nervous.
She was more worried about having actually been married to her enemy in the past. If that were true, how could she face anyone in the future?
—————
“Alright, Brother Ye Xuan, why are you being so shy?” Seeing Ye Xuan’s flustered state, the Dragon Princess helped him up, looking at him seriously. “Come back to Donghai with me. I want to marry you.”
Ye Xuan’s initial flustered expression turned to one of sadness: “It’s impossible… I have been punished by the Heavenly Emperor. I am cursed to have no romantic or familial ties for eternity. It is my fate.”
“Fate?” The Dragon Princess responded: “I don’t believe in fate. If the Heavenly Emperor can decide your fate with a word, I believe it, but can he decide mine? Can he decide everyone’s?”
“He cursed you with no romantic or familial ties, but I love you, so I am your romantic tie. Once we marry, I will be your family tie… Don’t forget, the Heavenly Emperor didn’t foresee the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar.”
“He didn’t dare punish Zhugu either. He is not as powerful as you think. Our dragon clan is protected by Zhugu, and we are not bound by the Heavenly Emperor’s fate.”
Hearing the Dragon Princess’s words, many sects that followed the Heavenly Emperor felt awkward. Even though they revered the Heavenly Emperor, they had to admit that his actions in this matter were disheartening.
Ye Xuan had done nothing wrong; he was just the catalyst for the events. Yet, he received the harshest punishment while others, like Zhugu and the two gods, received only minor penalties.
The Dragon Princess’s words, though disrespectful to the Heavenly Emperor, were not entirely without reason.
“–!” Ye Xuan looked at the Dragon Princess in astonishment as he didn’t expect her to say such things.
“What now, Brother Ye Xuan? Do you still have any concerns?” The Dragon Princess asked.
“Although I am a Dragon Princess and you are a mortal, if you come back to the Donghai Palace with me, I will find a way to make you live forever. I will make you eternally happy.”
“Are you not afraid of fate’s consequences?” Ye Xuan was clearly moved. The woman he liked was right in front of him, pleading with him. How could he remain unmoved?
“I don’t care about fate.” The Dragon Princess said, “I only want to be with you. If fate is real, then I will die before we part–!”
————
Outside the scene, everyone looked at the Dragon Princess and then at Ye Xuan, their expressions growing strange.
Regardless of what the Dragon Princess had said before, it was clear now that she and Ye Xuan were mortal enemies. Fate had already fulfilled its prophecy.
