C1279 The threat of the dragon lord
Dragon Lord sat on the Dragon Throne, and when he saw Qin Xuan walk in, his face immediately revealed a brilliant smile, and he waved his hand. "You've come, and I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
"You've been waiting for me for a long time?" Last time, he had waited outside for a few hours. This time, it was Dragon Lord's turn to wait?
Qin Xuan was astonished in his heart, but he did not express it. Instead, he said in an extremely courteous tone, "How could this junior make Dragon Lord wait here?
"Sit down and we'll talk." Dragon Lord stretched out his hand and said.
"Yes." Qin Xuan nodded, then sat down on one of the seats and looked at Dragon Lord, waiting for him to speak.
Dragon Lord's eyes carried a smile, his face carried a meaningful look, and he asked: "What do you think of Linger?"
Qin Xuan's gaze froze for a moment, as he faintly had a bad premonition, and said: "Fifth Princess is talented with both appearances, with extraordinary charm, and her talent is also at the top of the young generation. She can be considered a rare and extraordinary woman, causing one's heart to be filled with admiration."
Qin Xuan's words were purely to express his appreciation towards Long Linger. As for other aspects, he did not mention them.
He didn't want to be caught up in the rumors from before. It was better to be cautious with his words!
"Is that all?" Dragon Lord frowned, his eyes was still fixated on Qin Xuan, as if he was hinting at something.
"Junior only has admiration and appreciation for Fifth Princess, and does not have any other thoughts." Qin Xuan said calmly, he really did not want to beat around the bush with the Dragon Lord.
"No idea?" Dragon Lord muttered, he pondered for a moment, then revealed a meaningful look in his eyes and continued: It doesn't matter, after all, the two of you have not known each other for long enough, and there will be more than enough time to get along with each other in the future. I want to marry her to you, what do you think?
"As expected!" Qin Xuan's heart trembled, the Dragon Lord had long planned to get him and Long Linger together, thus they allowed him to move into the Xiaoxiang Restaurant, and now, they were directly looking for him to talk.
Qin Xuan's expression became more serious, he cupped his fists at Dragon Lord and said: "Fifth Princess's status is noble, and is a phoenix among men, and this junior is just a human boy with only a bit of talent, I never had the slightest bit of intentions towards the princess, I hope Dragon Lord can take back my orders!"
Qin Xuan's tone of voice was extremely sincere and humble, purposely lowering his own attitude. The meaning of those words were already very clear, as he was not worthy of Long Linger.
How could he not understand the hidden meaning behind Qin Xuan's words? How could he not understand Linger's words, it was clear that he did not think Linger was worthy of him!
"How dare you!" Dragon Lord's expression was extremely sharp, his extremely imposing gaze pierced through the void, and landed on Qin Xuan's body. Qin Xuan's body stiffened, as though there was a terrifying will about to penetrate his body.
"You don't need to talk about this with me. I'm just asking you, do you not like my daughter?" The Dragon Lord directly asked, the aura coming out from his body did not disappear, as though as long as Qin Xuan said half a word, he would immediately use his aura to suppress him.
Qin Xuan wanted to cry, but no tears came out, she never thought that Dragon Lord would be so simple and crude, directly attacking without listening to his explanation, wasn't this personality too violent!
"Dragon Lord misunderstands, Fifth Princess is such an outstanding person, this junior would not dare to underestimate him!" Qin Xuan stood up and explained. His expression was extremely innocent, as if he had suffered an enormous grievance.
"Then what do you mean?" Dragon Lord's voice was still cold, but the pressure on her body had eased up a little, as if she had some leeway after hearing Qin Xuan's words.
"Dragon Lord doesn't know. Junior already has a wife in the human race, and she's in one of the nine realms. Do you want me to take you as my concubine?" Qin Xuan said as he cupped his fists. Since it was like this, he could only tell the truth, as long as the Dragon Lord was such a proud person, he would definitely not let his daughter be a concubine. Not only would it damage his reputation, it would also affect the prestige of the dragon race.
"What, you already have a wife?" Dragon Lord's eyes immediately shot out a sharp beam of light. This brat, was he already married?
"Exactly." Qin Xuan nodded his head, "I believe that Dragon Lord is also aware of my background. I come from a small city and my wife walked out of it with me."
The news of Qin Xuan's wedding caught Dragon Lord somewhat off guard. He had never thought of this possibility, he thought that a monstrous genius with unparalleled talent like Qin Xuan would not be able to get married at such a young age. However, the reality was beyond his expectations.
Just as he had thought, as the master of the dragon race, he would definitely not allow his own daughter to become his concubine.
Qin Xuan thought that this matter would finally be over. Then, a deep meaning flashed across Dragon Lord's face, he looked at Qin Xuan and asked: "Who is your wife, and how is her cultivation?"
Qin Xuan was startled, he did not know why Dragon Lord was asking him this, but he still replied: "My wife is a princess of a small country, and her cultivation is at Origin King Stage."
"Just Origin King Stage?" Dragon Lord frowned as he looked at Qin Xuan sincerely and said, "Your talent is peerless, and you're so handsome, worthy to be called the most outstanding young figure in all of the Nine Regions. It would not be an exaggeration to say that with the grace you have displayed today, you have a lot of hope of becoming a saint in the future."
Hearing Dragon Lord's words, Qin Xuan's eyes became serious, and he faintly guessed what Dragon Lord was going to say next.
"After you enter the Emperor's Realm, more and more people will pay attention to you. Not only you, the people around you will also receive their attention, and your wife is so ordinary and unremarkable. Perhaps you two might have fallen in love before, but the future might not be like what you imagined." Dragon Lord said slowly, his words were thought-provoking.
Qin Xuan frowned, her expression could not help but turn cold, and she said coldly: "Dragon Lord's words are a bit too much, maybe in your eyes, my wife is just an ordinary woman, but in my opinion, she is the most outstanding woman in the world, not a single one!"
Seeing Qin Xuan's stubborn look, a trace of displeasure flashed past Dragon Lord's eyes. Qin Xuan was the first junior who dared to speak in such a tone in front of him.
However, Qin Xuan displayed such stubbornness, it was as if he was the same as before. Towards such a junior, he was both angry and impressed, unable to do anything to him.
"You really won't give her up?" The Dragon Lord asked again, his tone slightly gentler than before.
"If I am to give up on my wife for the Fifth Princess today, then in the future, I will give up on the Fifth Princess for other things. Does the Dragon Lord hope that this day will happen?" Qin Xuan looked straight at Dragon Lord, and said calmly.
It was very obvious that Qin Xuan's attitude was extremely resolute.
"Alright, I can take a step back." Dragon Lord nodded his head, and said: "You and your wife can be together, but there is one thing, Linger must be the legal wife, if you can agree to this condition, I will not pursue the rest of the matters."
In the eyes of the Dragon Lord, this was already an enormous concession. Even though Qin Xuan had already made a name for himself and his fame had spread far and wide, he was still just a junior at the Emperor Realm.
When the First Princess of Dragon Lord married to her, he should not have a concubine, and that concubine was actually an extremely ordinary woman. In terms of dragon race's reputation, this would greatly affect them, and if any other Demon Clan were to hear of this news, they would definitely discuss this matter animatedly.
Originally, with Dragon Lord's personality, he would not make such a concession, but seeing Qin Xuan's talent and personality, he was willing to make this concession, to let Qin Xuan enjoy the beauty of being with others.
But when Qin Xuan finished listening to all of these things, his face did not change at all, he was still as cold as ever, as if he was not moved at all by Dragon Lord's words.
"May I ask if this is Dragon Lord's idea or not?" Qin Xuan suddenly asked. There were some things that he had to clarify.
"I'm the one controlling it, it has nothing to do with Linger." Dragon Lord said indifferently.
Hearing that, Qin Xuan gently nodded his head, he had also guessed that it would be like this, with his understanding of the Fifth Princess, it was impossible for him to suggest such a thing.
Qin Xuan cupped his fist at Dragon Lord and spoke with an incomparably resolute expression: "I am still going back to my previous words, I will not be able to comply with your wishes."
Dragon Lord's face darkened, his voice carried an imposing aura, "I've already given in, and you're still not willing?"
In the eyes of the Dragon Lord, Qin Xuan was already provoking his dignity.
Qin Xuan shook his head, and said: "Dragon Lord is wrong, I only have appreciation for Fifth Princess, and nothing more, but emotions are not something that can be forced into my hands. This is the biggest prerequisite, if there is no emotion, no matter how much you give in, I will not agree."
"Maybe Fifth Princess and I can become good friends, but it's really impossible for a couple to be together." Qin Xuan added once again, every word seemed to be extremely sincere, as if what he said was from the bottom of his heart.
Friends and lovers were very close, but the difference was like the sky and the earth.
This junior had somewhat exceeded his imagination. Not only did he have extraordinary talent, he had also seen an incomparably firm conviction in Qin Xuan that no matter what price he had to pay, no one could shake or change his faith.
At this moment, the Dragon Lord had a faint understanding of why Qin Xuan was able to achieve such a feat in the martial way, must have something to do with this belief.
"Since you've made up your mind, I won't force you." Dragon Lord sighed, his eyes showing traces of disappointment.
In fact, he had his own selfish motives for betrothing Qin Xuan and Linger. If Qin Xuan married Linger, he would be considered a member of his dragon race, and if news of this got out, he would have some face, and would be able to speak with more confidence in the human race. But now, it seemed that he was overthinking.
"Then, junior shall take his leave." Qin Xuan cupped his hands and prepared to leave Supreme Palace.
"Wait." At this time, Dragon Lord suddenly shouted.
Qin Xuan turned around and looked at the Dragon Lord doubtfully: "Senior, what else do you want?"
The Dragon Lord had a solemn look on his face as he said: "What I said earlier had nothing to do with Linger. You can blame me, but I hope that you won't mind her.
Qin Xuan immediately understood and said: "Senior, you are overthinking it. This junior will definitely do my best to help the Fifth Princess awaken his bloodline. I will only treat what happened just now as though it never happened."
"In that case, thank you very much." A hint of gratitude flashed past Dragon Lord's eyes as he looked at Qin Xuan, and there seemed to be appreciation mixed within. With such an extraordinary personality, he would definitely become someone great in the future!
