2 The Reason
Ming Ze sat across from the Sun Princess, whose real name he still didn't know until now. Most people did not know her real name. Only people in the upper levels knew.
Even now, Ming Ze was still in a state of confusion as he stared at the masked figure in front of him.
Seeing her up close, Ming Ze further realized that her body was so beautiful.
While he was staring at her, the woman, crossed her legs so that the slit of her dress was open quite wide. Her legs were exposed more and Ming Ze couldn't help but look at her long, white, clean, and slender legs.
Looking at her legs, it was hard for anyone not to think of a perfect pair of legs.
After struggling long enough and seeing enough women, Ming Ze had some high criteria in looking for a wife.
However, the Sun Princess, this figure in front of him he still considered to be too much for him even though he didn't feel inferior in terms of cultivation compared to her.
"Are you confused?" The woman finally spoke again.
Her eyes seemed to blink once as she said that.
Perhaps underneath her mask, her lips were curled beautifully because of the faint smile that appeared on them.
"I hope you mean what you say, Your Highness," Ming Ze replied.
He wanted to confirm first whether this woman was really serious or just deceiving him.
"I am of course serious, now everything depends on your answer, so are you willing?" replied the Sun Princess, still with the same gaze.
Even Ming Ze was instantly convinced that she was indeed serious.
But how was that possible?
"What exactly is your reason?" Ming Ze asked again because he still had doubts.
"Like, attraction, choice, and the like." The woman answered immediately. "All of my reasons are normal reasons. I've been watching you since that competition. You intrigued me. Although I must admit that I originally had the arrogant view of thinking of you as an object to be investigated, but after I thought about it, I think it's more suitable for us to be lovers than enemies. A fortune teller said that it will have a beautiful ending while if we become enemies, things will become uncertain."
Hearing her explanation, Ming Ze showed a strange look.
Something like this really happened in his life, he wasn't sure what fate was at play.
His mind went blank for quite a while. However, the gaze from the woman's golden eyes made him choose to answer.
"I would be very honored if the most beautiful woman in the Heaven Realm wanted me to be her husband. This is beyond my wildest expectations, especially considering that we have a vast difference in cultivation and different ages. However, it's a good thing, I naturally wouldn't refuse."
Ming Ze didn't deny that he couldn't resist this woman's temptation even though this woman only spoke casually without a teasing tone.
She was too extraordinary, Ming Ze wanted her to belong only to him. Since the opportunity was there, there was no way he could refuse it. He would take that chance.
Whatever his achievements in the future, at least he had the most beautiful wife
He can look down on all men with that.
"Good answer, I thought you would act arrogant since I took the initiative to start this. By the way, you don't need to think about age because in the grand scheme of things, even I'm still considered the younger generation because I'm only a few generations older than you and that's considered a short time in front of Immortals who have infinite ages," replied the Sun Princess.
Ming Ze remained silent as she discussed their ages. He then answered her first words, "I am only arrogant to those who are arrogant to me. Although it is said that you are very arrogant, but you are not arrogant in front of me. It's just that I think there would be a lot of problems if I became your husband. My enemies will definitely become more numerous."
"You don't have to worry about that. The Sun Empire will be your protector. In the Southern Region, your safety is absolute. We may not be the strongest in the entire Heaven Realm, but no faction is capable of destroying us."
"Is the Sun Empire really going to protect me?" Ming Ze was somewhat skeptical about that. The problem was that there even the Sun Princess's brothers also wanted to be her husband.
Although it was something forbidden, they never cared as long as they had the Princess as their wife.
"How about you hold this," the Princess replied as she placed something on Ming Ze's thigh.
It was like a coin in shape and size, gold in color with a sun symbol with the word seal.
There was a faint aura from the object. When looking at it more closely, Ming Ze widened his eyes.
"Bloodline Seal," he said in surprise.
This was something too important for any clan to have an Immortal Emperor.
The Bloodline Seal, which could only be made by an Immortal Emperor, served to bind people of the same bloodline so that they would not challenge the main bloodline.
The seal holder is practically in charge of the fate of all clan members.
Although the Bloodline Seal does not mean that you can directly kill clan members who challenge you, but you can render them powerless in front of you.
The Sun Princess actually handed such an important object to Ming Ze, Ming Ze couldn't help but wonder if her brain had been injured that she was having serious mental problems.
With that seal, Ming Ze could subdue all the Immortal Emperors of the Sun Empire because it must have been made by the Sun Great Emperor, an Immortal Ancestor, perhaps the Sun Princess herself hadn't escaped the seal's influence.
"You don't have to worry now." The woman spoke.
After saying that, she extended her hand to Ming Ze.
"Let's just say that we're engaged now. It's time to give me a ring," she added so that Ming Ze's mouth opened.
He was too astonished that he didn't know whether he should laugh or cry.
However, he suddenly got an idea.
He took out a silver ring that was actually very simple, even just a mortal ring. Only, there was his name written on the ring.
It was one he bought since starting his journey in the Lower Realm not long after he reincarnated into the cultivation world from earth.
Yes, in reality, he came from a completely different world. And that was where the secret origin of his power came from.
Ming Ze placed the ring on the Sun Princess' ring finger without holding her hand.
It wasn't that he didn't want to hold her hand, but he wanted to avoid more mind clutter. Her hand was too beautiful, holding it might be better than marrying ten other most beautiful women in the Heaven Realm.
The Sun Princess withdrew her hand after the ring was placed on her ring finger. She looked at him for a long time and seemed to smile.
"I guess romance isn't as bad as I thought before, it's quite a thrill," she said.
Ming Ze rolled his eyes, then looked down at her mask.
"Why don't you take off your mask?" he asked.
"My mask?" Ming Ze's question made the Sun Princess touch her mask spontaneously.
However, a moment later she lowered her hand again.
"Are you sure you want to see my face now? Or later when our time comes?" she asked in response, which Ming Ze thought was a strange question.
It was just that, he thought it might indeed be better to see her face right when their time came.
It would be more amazing.
Such a possibility as him suddenly no longer being attracted to her after seeing her face was definitely impossible given the rumors that had been circulating that she possessed indescribable beauty. Seeing her face would definitely only increase Ming Ze's attachment to her.
"Now that you're badly injured, you must heal your wounds first," said the Sun Princess.
"Otherwise, your wounds will only become worse because you will definitely lose control after seeing my face while you have the right to perform romantic acts to me."
Ming Ze, "..."
"Mmm!!!" Ming Ze's eyes were drawn to the window as he suddenly saw an enormous world, so large that even a True Immortal became a small being in that world.
It looked extremely lively with many cities and giant mountains.
Its sky was surrounded by nine suns with no moon at all and countless stars where each star was a small sun surrounded by small worlds.
Giant arks came and went from that world. Even from afar, they looked enormous.
Whoosh!
The carriage of the Sun Princess moved quickly towards that world, passing through layer after layer of its completely golden sky.
After passing through all the layers of sky, it then passed through a layer of clouds. Ming Ze saw a large city where all the buildings were golden in color and each building had a sun symbol.
The buildings here were on average built very high, their shapes somewhat resembling the Pyramids but with towers on top.
The luxury and prosperity was beyond Ming Ze's imagination. Everyone looks like kings and queens. They were beautiful and wore luxurious clothes. Their auras were so deep that they seemed to be able to suppress the world beyond this world.
It was said that the people of the Sun Empire had a persistence in cultivation surpassing all people from other worlds.
Ming Ze finally realized that it was true.
No wonder they weren't put into competition like the great competition in the Southern Region.
They were too strong for that.
In the center of the city, Ming Ze saw an enormous palace, surrounded by a fortress filled with carvings of various Divine Beasts.
Every soldier guarding the fortress was up to ten meters tall. They were human, but with giant bodies. Who knew why.
It was just that, there was really no one behind the fortress. All the soldiers were only outside the fort. Ming Ze didn't see any servants either.
The Sun Princess's carriage headed towards the palace, landing right in front of its entrance.
As far as Ming Ze knew, this palace was inhabited by the Sun Princess even though it was supposed to belong to the Sun Great Emperor.
However, the latter was rarely seen and his exact whereabouts were unknown. Therefore, the Sun Princess who was the heir without rival was the one inhabiting this palace, and that meant she was the one managing the Sun Empire.
There was no problem since her cultivation was at the peak even though she had only just reached that level.
