"Your Majesty..."
Seeing how the person before him remained unable to calm down for a long time, En Ci didn't say much, because...
He understood the Emperor's feelings all too well.
Having a son-in-law who was a god was something rarely recorded in the entire history of the Douluo Continent, and there was only one who had reached the level of a first-class god or above.
Before this, only the God of the Sea, Tang San, had achieved this. His daughter, Tang Wutong, descended to the mortal world to train and brought Dai Yuhao, the successor of Xingluo, back to Tang San.
As for a son-in-law at the God King level...
Well, the hundred-thousand-year Shapeshifting Soul Beast Xiao Wu had no parents, so no one had achieved this feat before.
And the current Emperor of Xingluo was the first in history!
"I knew it..."
"I've always thought highly of Luo Chuan since he was a child!"
After a long while, Dai Tianling finally snapped out of it and said with a chuckle. At this moment, he truly wanted to say...
In his entire life, he had never felt so refreshed.
But he believed this would be his first time, not his last. At least on the day Yun'er married Luo Chuan and when Luo Chuan achieved the God King level...
He would truly say these words in front of a crowd of thousands!
"Hmm..."
Hearing this, En Ci and his disciple Tong Yu, who were standing nearby, responded with smiles. However, the former knew full well that when Princess Yun'er went to the Douluo Continent before...
The Emperor had complained about Tang Luochuan no less than ten or twenty times!
"But Your Majesty, there's one more thing..."
At this moment, En Ci cleared his throat lightly, hesitating to speak.
"Hmm?"
"What is it?"
Dai Tianling looked at him, curious.
"It's about the female companions around Luo Chuan..."
"There might be quite a few of them."
En Ci opened his mouth and said slowly.
"I know about this."
Hearing this, Dai Tianling responded with a smile, not finding it particularly noteworthy. After all, during his previous conversations with the National Teacher before him and Tong Yu from the Douluo Continent, he had learned that Luo Chuan had many girls around him.
It was precisely because of this that he had scolded the kid even more back then... Ahem, no!
Was it Luo Chuan's fault that there were girls around him? Clearly not. It was because those girls were clinging to him, craving him, and missing him. What did it have to do with him?
His son-in-law was not that kind of person!
"Hmm..."
"Ahem, the girls who came with Princess Yun'er this time—Na'er, Yuanen Yehui, Xu Xiaoyan, Ye Xinglan, Mu Xi—might all be..."
En Ci coughed lightly and spoke bluntly.
"..."
"Ah?"
At this moment, Dai Tianling, who had been calm and composed and even picked up a jade cup to drink water, was instantly stunned. He spat out the water in his mouth abruptly, his face filled with confusion.
It seemed...
There were a few more than he had imagined?
"How many? One, two, three, four, five..."
"Including Yun'er, that's six people."
Dai Tianling lowered his head, deep in thought.
"No."
"There's another girl, a disciple of Deputy Pagoda Master Leng Yaozhu of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and also the Young Pagoda Master of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, named Gu Yue."
"..."
Dai Tianling fell silent. So it wasn't six people but a full seven, enough to form the Shrek Seven Monsters?
"Besides, Na'er is the Sea God Pavilion Master's disciple, and also..."
En Ci slowly began to speak.
"Your Majesty's brother-in-law, Sikong's daughter..."
"Also holds Luo Chuan in high regard."
"..."
Dai Tianling fell silent.
He had thought the Shrek Seven Monsters were already outrageous enough, but he never expected this to be the Eight Great Heavenly Kings of monsters?
Moreover, Xiao Wu's daughter...
Was actually one of them too?
Remembering how that kid had looked so pleased while gossiping earlier, Dai Tianling couldn't help but shake his head with a smile. Later...
When that kid finds the gossip turning back on himself, it should make quite a scene!
"Yun'er and these seven..."
"How is their relationship?"
Dai Tianling's emotions had been on a rollercoaster in this short time. He took a deep breath and asked.
"Closer than real sisters, they've never argued."
"Yun'er values these sisters of hers very much."
En Ci shook his head and immediately responded.
"That's good."
Hearing this, Dai Tianling's previous worries instantly vanished. A smile appeared on his face as if he had been relieved of a burden.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem."
Dai Tianling said cheerfully.
It was quite common in this world for the strong to have multiple women around them. As the emperor of Star Luo, wasn't he himself surrounded by numerous beautiful concubines!
Moreover, Luo Chuan's future achievements...
Would be legendary in the Soul Master World for ten thousand years, with people respectfully addressing him as God King!
As long as Yun'er truly loved him and Luo Chuan valued his daughter, that would be the best outcome.
"Among these people..."
"Is Yun'er currently the only one engaged to Luo Chuan?"
Dai Tianling realized something and asked curiously.
"Exactly, Your Majesty."
En Ci replied.
"Hahaha..."
Hearing this, Dai Tianling gently cupped his chin and revealed a very pleased smile. It seemed...
His decisiveness had really been important!
"..."
Meanwhile, at the Wu family residence in Star Luo.
In the center of Star Luo City, near the imperial palace, stood the Wu family residence of Star Luo Continent.
Unlike her classmates who had been arranged to stay in the palace by Dai Yun'er, as a native of Star Luo Continent, Wu Siduo naturally returned to her own home.
"Duoduo is back."
The moment Wu Siduo returned home, her mother who had been notified in advance came out from the main courtyard, her face beaming with a gentle smile.
This was Wu Siduo's biological mother, Wu Sikong's wife, Lin Xiyue.
"..."
"Mother."
The moment she saw the person before her, Wu Siduo was momentarily stunned before rushing forward to embrace her, speaking softly.
Because her father was busy with work, often running between the royal family and Star Luo City, he had little time to accompany her during her childhood.
Only her mother had spent the most time caring for her. After more than three years apart, though she had been focused on cultivation with no time to spare, the longing in her heart couldn't deceive herself...
After years away from home, her longing for family had finally materialized completely.
"What would you like to eat? Mom will make it for you."
Looking at her daughter who hadn't gained much weight over the years, Lin Xiyue suppressed her somewhat sad feelings and said with a smile.
Look how thin her daughter had become...
That little Shrek Academy couldn't even feed her daughter properly!
"Anything is fine."
Hearing this, Wu Siduo's eyes instantly lit up as she giggled, "I love anything Mother makes."
"..."
That afternoon, when Wu Siduo had finally taken a rare break and was chatting with her mother in the living room about her experiences on Douluo Continent, Wu Sikong appeared.
Still riding the high from his earlier gossip indulgence, he wore a pleased smile on his face.
"Darling, you're back."
Seeing him appear, Lin Ximeng immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Mhmm!"
"Duoduo's home!"
Wu Sikong responded cheerfully, his smile widening particularly when his gaze landed on his daughter.
After so many years without seeing his girl...
How could his heart not be filled with joy now?
"Father."
Turning toward him, Wu Siduo promptly rose to her feet, addressing him with a warm smile.
"Duoduo, now that you're back—even Princess Yun'er has brought her boyfriend to meet the Emperor, and they've already gotten engaged..."
"When will you bring home a sweetheart of your own?"
As he approached, Wu Sikong couldn't help but bring up the recent developments, his tone playful yet earnest.
For so many years, Duoduo had been the most dedicated to her training, but now she was no longer young—it was time she considered romance.
"..."
Wu Siduo froze in place at his words.
Yun'er and Luo Chuan...
Were engaged under the Emperor's witness?
In that moment, her silence was deafening.
