Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 869 - 637: The Engagement

Lin Feng breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this, it was good that Shangguan Hao hadn’t broken through, for if he had reached the Martial Emperor realm, that would truly be troublesome!

However, Lin Feng also frowned secretly, now that Shangguan Hao had emerged, he had to be even more cautious if he wanted to see Xi’er!

Lin Feng did not rush to find Xi’er, but instead sat quietly crossed-legged on the plaza, listening to everyone’s words, while pondering secretly in his mind.

It’s undeniable, as the Saint Heir and Holy Daughter of the Emperor Xuan Palace, Shangguan Hao and Xi’er were always the eternal topics of casual conversation.

As time passed and after sitting quietly for several hours, Lin Feng actually managed to gather a lot of useful information.

For example, the engagement between Xi’er and Shangguan Hao was decided by the Palace Master, Emperor Shih of the Emperor Xuan Palace.

Moreover, at first, Xi’er disagreed with the engagement but later changed her attitude, agreeing to the marriage with Shangguan Hao.

This made Lin Feng puzzled; if Xi’er hadn’t had a change of heart, she would definitely not agree to the engagement with Shangguan Hao.

But why did Xi’er oppose it initially and then agree?

Could it be that Xi’er had a change of heart?

Or was there another reason that made Xi’er change her attitude?

Lin Feng couldn’t figure it out, so he shook his head slightly after a while, deciding to go back first and make plans later!

At this moment, a sudden exclamation sounded not far from him.

"Look quickly, it’s the Saint Heir and Holy Daughter!"

"Look quickly, it’s the Saint Heir and Holy Daughter!"

As the exclamations rang out, Lin Feng immediately turned his head and followed the person’s gaze.

Soon after, Lin Feng saw two figures standing at the edge of a cliff atop the peak of the Emperor Peak.

One was male and the other female, the male was a young man, wearing a golden robe, his posture upright like a pine, his face extraordinarily handsome, giving off a sense of determination and dominance.

Even just standing there, the young man seemed like the radiant sun in the sky, the center of the universe, the protagonist of the world, his powerful aura unmatched by anyone.

This person was none other than the Saint Heir of the Emperor Xuan Palace, Shangguan Hao!

Though Lin Feng had not seen him for four years, and the other’s appearance had changed somewhat, he still recognized him at a glance.

Four years ago, Shangguan Hao’s arrogant demeanor in Lin Yang City, his contemptuous attitude towards everyone, and his domineering and unruly behavior were unforgettable for Lin Feng.

As for the other, she was a young woman, appearing to be in her late teens, wearing a moon-white velvet dress, her posture graceful, her figure delicate and beautiful.

The woman’s long hair was like a waterfall, casually draped over her shoulders, her stunning features as beautiful and noble as a blooming Green Lotus.

"She has grown taller, and even more beautiful!"

Lin Feng’s gaze was fixed intently on the woman, murmuring to himself.

This woman was none other than Xi’er!

Xi’er had changed significantly, as they say, a woman changes eighteen times as she grows, and in these four years, Xi’er had long shed her youthful innocence, becoming an astonishing beauty capable of ruining a kingdom or a city.

Lin Feng was somewhat excited, eager to rush over and meet Xi’er immediately, yet he forced himself to restrain the impulse in his heart.

With Shangguan Hao present, going over now would be no different than seeking death!

It’s not that Lin Feng feared Shangguan Hao, but the time was not yet right; there would eventually be a battle between him and Shangguan Hao, but not now.

Lin Feng saw Shangguan Hao and Xi’er seemed to be talking, so he immediately focused his Dark Power in his ears to listen carefully.

On the mountaintop.

Shangguan Hao and Xi’er stood side by side, their clothes fluttering in the wind, rustling loudly.

"Junior Sister, I’ve discussed with our master; in eight months, we will marry!"

Shangguan Hao said with a light smile, looking at the stunning woman before him, an inexplicable smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Didn’t you say we would wait until you broke through to the Martial Emperor realm?" Xi’er’s expression was icy, her delicate eyebrows slighting arching upon hearing this.

"My cultivation is already at the brink, and my accumulation is thick enough, I can break through within six months!"

Shangguan Hao continued with overwhelming confidence on his face, "Our marriage is no small matter, by then, we will invite formidable figures from all over the Heavenly Vault Continent, not only from the three clans and five sects of the Human Clan but also from the major forces of the Demon Clan, so it’s necessary to set the date early."

Xi’er didn’t speak upon hearing this, but her face became colder, like ice that could not melt for a thousand years.

Seeing this, Shangguan Hao frowned slightly, a glint of gloom passing through his eyes.

"Junior Sister, are you still thinking about that native?" Shangguan Hao’s voice also turned cold.

He knew Xi’er had never forgotten Lin Feng, but with their marriage approaching, it was absolutely unacceptable for him, proud and conceited, that she was still thinking of another man.

If not for the fact she was his master’s daughter, why would he be speaking so kindly!

"Brother Lin Feng said he would come to the Central Continent within five years!" Xi’er’s eyes showed a hint of complexity as she spoke softly.

Hearing this, Shangguan Hao’s face showed a trace of anger, after four years, she was still holding onto such unrealistic fantasies!

Shangguan Hao clenched his fists, a flash of killing intent briefly passing through his eyes, the thought of his woman longing for another man, it nearly drove him mad.

However, Shangguan Hao, after all, was extraordinary, he would not be swayed by emotions, and soon he suppressed the anger in his heart.

They would soon be wed, and all the other’s efforts would be in vain!

Shangguan Hao shook his head, saying, "Junior Sister, when will you be able to let go of these unrealistic fantasies?"

Xi’er lightly shook her head, saying, "It’s not unrealistic. Everything Brother Lin Feng said, he will definitely accomplish."

In Xi’er’s words, it seemed she had great faith in Lin Feng.

Hearing this, Shangguan Hao sneered disdainfully, saying, "Junior Sister, don’t you know, between the East Continent and the Central Continent lies the Desolate Mountain Range, even setting aside the distance, that native can’t cross the Desolate Mountain Range!"

Shangguan Hao couldn’t believe that a native from that barren land could cross the Desolate Mountain Range and reach the Central Continent.

Even if that native cultivated for another hundred years, it still wouldn’t be possible!

On this point, Shangguan Hao was utterly certain!

"Brother Lin Feng’s talent is excellent, and he’s also very diligent; nothing can stop him!" Xi’er said firmly.

The reason Xi’er had such faith in Lin Feng was not blind trust; it was because she knew a secret about Lin Feng, one that others did not know.

That was Lin Feng’s Star!

Back then, Xi’er had accompanied Lin Feng into the Youfeng Mountain Range outside Lin Yang City for training, and she had personally witnessed the terrifying power of Lin Feng’s Star.

Although the level of Lin Feng’s Star was not high, as long as he could devour a large amount of Demon Beasts’ Essence Blood, it would be easy to enhance his cultivation.

Back then, in the Youfeng Mountain Range, Lin Feng had advanced two cultivation levels relying on his Demon Dragon Star; how many people in the world could achieve that?

So, Xi’er had some confidence in Lin Feng, although Lin Feng might not be able to defeat Shangguan Hao within five years, reaching the Central Continent, coming to the Emperor Xuan Palace, still held great hope.

Xi’er waited, she had always been waiting for Lin Feng’s arrival.

However, now she was getting anxious, because she and Shangguan Hao were about to be wed.

If Lin Feng couldn’t arrive before her wedding with Shangguan Hao, then it would be too late!

Actually, Xi’er was also extremely conflicted in her heart, on one hand, she hoped Lin Feng would arrive soon, on the other hand, she wished Lin Feng would never come.

Because she knew, even if Lin Feng came, it would be to no avail, unable to change the fact, and it might even cost him his life.

Back then, Xi’er had also thought of fleeing from the Central Continent to search for Lin Feng in the East Continent, but she was not successful.

A mental imprint left by her father resided in her body, she could not escape his control over her every move.

A year ago, Emperor Shih had planned to send someone back to the East Continent to kill Lin Feng, to completely crush Xi’er’s hope.

Xi’er pleaded bitterly, and in the end, Emperor Shih agreed to spare Lin Feng, but the condition was that Xi’er must forget Lin Feng and marry Shangguan Hao peacefully in the future.

Xi’er was unable to resist; to save Lin Feng’s life, she could only agree.

"Very diligent?"

Upon hearing Xi’er’s words, Shangguan Hao’s face was full of disdain, his eyes showing a sneer, "If effort worked in this world, what’s the point of geniuses?"

Shangguan Hao had complete disdain for Xi’er’s words, regarding the idea that a trash native, through mere effort, could come from the East Continent to the Central Continent.

Shangguan Hao shook his head silently; his Junior Sister was truly naive.
