Chapter 166 - Be My Prince Consort

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As Reyya’s voice fell, the entire territory fell silent. Li Cheng was frozen as if he had been struck by lightning. He asked, “What did you just say?”

Lei Liya stared into Li Cheng’s eyes and repeated, “Are you interested in being my prince consort?

“If you agree, the entire Elven Empire will become your property.”

At this moment, the system’s notification rang in Li Cheng’s ear.

“Ding, dong, Elven Princess Reyya invites you to join the Elven Empire by entering into a marriage contract with her. She promises that you’ll become the future ruler of the Elven Empire. Do you agree?

“Notification. If you agree, you’ll officially join the Elven Empire!”

Looking at the system’s notification, Li Cheng confirmed that he did not hear wrongly. Even he was a little confused now.

What was going on? This Elven Princess who had been famous for thousands of years was here to propose to him?

However, it had to be said that Li Cheng’s heart was slightly moved. The Elven Empire was an existence that spanned tens of thousands of years.

The human kingdom had all kinds of iterations, but the Elven Empire was the only one that had existed since human records began. No one knew exactly how strong they were.

Moreover, the Elven Gods were independent of all the other Gods. They were also very united, unlike the human Gods. Although there were more human Gods, they had been fighting for years and attacking each other.

No matter what, the Elven Empire was still a very strong existence. If Li Cheng could control the entire Elven Empire, it could be said that he had reached the sky in one step. As the prince consort of the princess, it was not impossible for him to become a God in the future.

However, would Li Cheng agree? He was only a little tempted, but this idea was quickly rejected by him.

After all, it meant that he would be someone’s son-in-law, right?

What kind of joke was this? Not to mention Reyya’s empty proposal, even if she fulfilled her promise, Li Cheng would have to face countless Gods.

The Elven King sounded good, but he was only a king. In fact, he was merely the servant of the countless Elven Gods and he did not have that much autonomy at all.

Moreover, Lillian was squinting her eyes and had already released an extremely dangerous aura toward realia.

Initially, Li Cheng wanted to prod Reyya for more information, but seeing Lillian’s expression, Li Cheng refused immediately. He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, Your Highness. I have to refuse.”

“As expected…” Hearing Li Cheng’s answer, Reyya sighed lightly as if she was not surprised by this result. She whispered, “Is it because my chips aren’t enough…”

Her golden eyes flickered and she said, “If you accept, I can guarantee that you and I will become Gods in the future, and the Elven Empire will forever be ruled by our descendants.”

Hearing this, Li Cheng fell silent. It was not that he was hesitant. He just could not understand why Reyya was so keen to make him her prince consort. Did she know that he had a big bird? Was the Elven Princess thirsty?

However, he believed that Lillian would not tell anyone about this…

Back to the main topic. He could not understand why Reyya would make such a suggestion. Li Cheng could see the sincerity in Reyya’s eyes.

His reputation value was very high. It was not impossible for him to join the Elven Empire. However, it was impossible for a princess of an ancient empire to lower her status like this.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng shook his head and said, “No, Your Highness. I’ve already promised Lillian that once I’m standing at the top of the world, I’ll return to the Shadow World with her to live in seclusion.”

Hearing this, Reyya looked at Lillian and then sighed. “It seems that I’m still a step late.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Reyya’s golden eyes were a little dim, but soon, her eyes lit up and she asked, “Then, can I join you?”

Li Cheng was stunned. Was she suggesting to join him at the Glittering Castle?

To be honest, Li Cheng really could not understand why Reyya would do that. He scratched his face and looked at Reyya and asked, “Your Highness, did you run away from home?”

“How could I do such a thing?” Reyya said as she rolled her eyes.

Li Cheng thought about it and agreed. Reyya was thousands of years old now. She had long passed the age of rebellion.

Therefore, Li Cheng could not figure it out. “Then, what’s the purpose of your proposal?”

Reyya was silent for a moment before saying, “This is for the Elven Empire, and also for myself, my Lord.”

After saying that, Reyya did not say anything else. She only revealed an exquisite and flawlessly beautiful smile.

Hearing this, Li Cheng did not ask any more questions. Everyone had their own secrets. If she was not willing to tell him any further, he would not ask about it.

No matter what, Reyya’s arrival did not give him any losses. There were now three million max-level Crown soldiers, the type whose equipment columns were filled with Mythical-grade equipment. He would not give up free labor for anything.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng agreed and let her lead her troops to defend the southern city wall.

At this time, Luna, who was settling the refugees, also saw their figures. She muttered in a daze, “Elf clan…”

At this time, Li Cheng came to Luna’s side and said softly, “Do you hate them? I can chase them away.”

Elves and Dark Elves were enemies. They had been hostile toward each other for tens of thousands of years. Li Cheng would consider Luna over Reyya’s words.

As long as Luna said something, he would instantly kick the princess out.

Luna gently shook her head. When she heard what he said, she smiled at him and said, “The Goddess often teaches us to live in peace with all races. If the elves don’t exclude us, we’re willing to be friends with them.”

Hearing Luna’s words, Li Cheng coughed awkwardly.

Damn it. As the holy son of Trelefany, he had completely forgotten her teachings.

“Alright.” Since Luna had spoken, Li Cheng did not bother about Reyya. Instead, he patrolled around his territory.

The defenses had been set up everywhere and refugees were constantly being transported over. A few female heroes were also preparing for battle with serious eyes.

After about half an hour, the last refugee stepped through the portal, and these refugees were all settled by Li Cheng as he showed them to the south side of the territory.

He now had a Mythical-grade powerhouse like Reyya, as well as three million Crowned troops.. It could be said to be impregnable!
