Late at night.
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Xue Qinghe, returning from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, walked along the path back to the Crown Princes Palace.
At this moment, her expression was extremely grim.
Her fists were tightly clenched.
It was obvious.
Her mood was on the verge of exploding at any second.
Simply because,
she had just gone to see Ning Fengzhi.
She had thought the other party had important matters to discuss with him.
Unexpectedly, before they had even spoken a few words upon her arrival,
Ning Fengzhi started playing the emotional card.
Immediately after, he revealed his true purpose.
This fellow, just like that dog emperor, had his eyes on Golden Crown.
He wanted Golden Crown to be a live-in son-in-law.
At the same time,
he also wanted her to act as the matchmaker.
As for the marriage partner, it was naturally his precious daughter, Ning Rongrong.
This made her so angry that she almost revealed her true identity
and started a fight.
First it was Snow Jade, and then it was Ning Rongrong.
She really hadn't expected Golden Crown's luck with women to be so good.
Frustrating, it was truly too frustrating!
If she had known, she wouldn't have let that woman provoke her into coming here as some lousy undercover agent.
It led to Ye Lingling taking advantage of her absence to wedge herself by Golden Crown's side.
And now there were two more people eyeing him greedily.
Fortunately,
both of these romantic prospects were held within her hands.
With her around, they could forget about succeeding.
She wouldn't even let the slightest spark show.
After all, she didn't want to be some powerless wife in the future.
Soon,
she returned to the Crown Princes Palace and reverted to her identity as Qian Renxue.
She then entered the Secret Chamber.
As soon as she entered the Secret Chamber, she saw Golden Crown sitting on the bed.
He had his eyes closed in meditation and cultivation.
Sensing that Qian Renxue had returned,
Golden Crown quickly ended his cultivation, opened his eyes, looked at Qian Renxue, and greeted her: "Xiao Xue is back. What did that Old Emperor want to chat about? Why did he let you back so late?"
"Also, why does it feel like your mood isn't great? Could it be that you were angered by that Old Emperor?"
He clearly felt the chill radiating from Qian Renxue's body.
"Hmph! It's nothing, go back to your cultivation!"
"Men really are all the same, not a single good one!"
Qian Renxue said coldly, then sat down at the desk in a huff.
"???"
Golden Crown, suddenly snapped at, was very bewildered.
Wait, what did I do?
I just said hello the moment she walked in.
And she just starts snapping at me.
Golden Crown got off the bed and sat down beside Qian Renxue.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you start scolding me out of nowhere?"
"Did I provoke you or something?"
Qian Renxue crossed her arms and looked at Golden Crown sideways: "Although you didn't look for trouble or provoke me, this matter has a lot to do with you."
"I didn't realize it before, but you, Golden Crown, have quite a lot of luck with the ladies."
"That Ye Lingling is one thing, but now two more romantic prospects have appeared!"
Then, Qian Renxue told Golden Crown everything about Old Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi looking for her.
"So that's how it is."
"The imperial princess Snow Jade and the young lady of the school, Ning Rongrong."
"I have to say, my luck with women really is quite strong!"
In the original work, although Snow Jade appeared very little,
as an imperial princess, her looks certainly wouldn't be bad.
As for Ning Rongrong,
when she grows up, she truly counts as a beauty of national grace and heavenly fragrance.
Later on, she was even called one of the Shrek Three Beauties along with Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
Compared to the well-endowed Zhu Zhuqing and the long-legged Xiao Wu, although Ning Rongrong didn't have anything prominent in terms of figure,
in terms of temperament, she completely crushed the two of them.
Because her background was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School,
from childhood to adulthood, whether in terms of living conditions or material conditions, everything was top-tier.
She naturally developed a fairy-like temperament.
Golden Crown was talking to himself, completely failing to notice Qian Renxue turning red with anger beside him.
Damn it all.
He actually dares to think about other women right in front of me.
This is absolutely intolerable.
Sensing waves of chill coming from his surroundings,
Golden Crown's eyes subconsciously glanced at Qian Renxue.
He saw that the other party was staring at him with a deathly gaze that could kill at any moment.
This made him quickly change his tune: "I'm just joking with you. I'm not the kind of playboy who falls for every woman he sees."
"Even if they threw themselves at me for free, I wouldn't want them."
"After all, this isn't a shelter. Why would I want so many women?"
"Not to mention, women are annoying as hell."
"I don't want to deal with too many women."
Hearing the first half, Qian Renxue immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed Xiao Mian wasn't the kind of half-hearted person.
But after hearing the second half,
her expression changed.
What does that mean? He finds women annoying!
Does that include her too?
She pinched the flesh on Golden Crown's waist and asked in a serious tone: "According to you, the premise of you not being a playboy is that you find women annoying. To put it another way, if you didn't find them annoying, would you be a playboy!"
"That makes sense," Golden Crown blurted out thoughtlessly.
But unexpectedly, in the next second—
Bang!
Qian Renxue punched him on the head.
Her fist was even smoking.
"Come, come, come, say that to me one more time," Qian Renxue said angrily.
Seeing that Qian Renxue seemed truly a bit angry,
Golden Crown quickly began to explain: "Oh, you know what kind of person I am. If you said the Old Emperor and Ning Fengzhi planned to use money to win me over, I might consider it."
"But using women? Don't even think about it."
"Since we were kids, I've only been close to you and Lingling."
"I can't even be bothered to deal with other girls."
Qian Renxue thought about it carefully.
It seemed that was indeed the case.
From the information in her grandfather's letters, she knew that many women at Spirit Hall Academy confessed to Golden Crown every day.
Especially that one named Hu Liena.
From time to time, she would approach Golden Crown under the guise of a challenge,
wanting to use it to nurture feelings.
But she was ignored by Golden Crown every time, and he beat her up quite badly each time.
She heard that on several occasions, Hu Liena was directly beaten into a pig's head by Golden Crown.
Thinking of this,
the anger in Qian Renxue's heart finally dissipated a lot.
She looked at Golden Crown and asked again: "Then how do you think I should respond to the Old Emperor and Ning Fengzhi? I can't really bring Snow Jade and Ning Rongrong over, can I?"
Golden Crown raised his hand, signaling her to be calm: "Just go ahead and agree."
Qian Renxue was startled: "What?!"
"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me finish first." After Golden Crown pressed Qian Renxue back down, he continued: "You agree, but whether the matter succeeds or not has nothing to do with you. After all, I'm leaving in a couple of days."
"Even if they want to nurture feelings, there's no way."
Qian Renxue hurriedly interrupted: "You're leaving!"
"Yeah, I've been out long enough this time, it's time to go back."
"Originally, the plan for this trip was to sell weapons and make money."
"Who would have thought all these things would happen."
"But as far as results go, it can be considered a bountiful harvest."
"If the Old Emperor asks where I went, just say I don't like staying in Heaven Dou City and have returned to my clan."
"But..." Qian Renxue was a bit despondent.
She had thought Golden Crown could stay for a few more days.
That way, she could spend a few more days with him.
She didn't expect they would have to part so soon.
Who knew when the next meeting would be.
Golden Crown saw through Qian Renxue's thoughts and comforted her: "Don't worry, we'll definitely see each other often in the future."
"After all, I still have to come to Heaven Dou City to trade arms."
"Besides, you can come find me too."
Qian Renxue was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Golden Crown explained: "You can tell the Old Emperor that I want to invite you to my clan as a guest, and to view new weapons while you're at it."
"I expect the Old Emperor certainly won't refuse your request for leave."
Qian Renxue asked again: "What if he wants me to bring Snow Jade along?"
Golden Crown smiled: "Simple, just say that in my clan, only invited people can enter, others are not allowed!"
