Chapter 2709
Welcome to Demon Emperor City!
The Ikh Demon Emperor has made his grand return alongside Knight Star!
In a display of his earnestness, Knight Star arrived bearing a multitude of bride-price gifts and was accompanied by a dozen attendants!
Upon their arrival at the gates, Huben, the Grand General of the Imperial City Guards, stepped forward to personally welcome them!
However, Huben’s demeanor shifted the moment he laid eyes on Knight Star!
He was well aware that Li Xing also had affections for Princess Isa and that the Ichthus Demon Emperor intended for Li Xing to marry her.
Now, with Knight Star arriving with so many gifts, Huben realized he was there to court Princess Isha!
As a general guard, Huben could not accompany Prince Li Xing, so after greeting the Ichthus Demon Emperor and Li Xing into the city, he left, his expression clouded with displeasure; he did not want to witness the pairing of Li Xing and Princess Isha!
“Father, you’re back! What have you been up to? And you didn’t take me with you ……”
Princess Isha exclaimed as she rushed out to greet the Ichthus Demon Emperor upon his return!
“Isha ……”
Li Xing called out joyfully upon seeing Princess Isha!
But as soon as Princess Isha noticed Li Xing, her smile vanished, replaced by an icy glare as she demanded, “Li Xing, what are you doing here in our Demon Emperor City?”
“Isha, why are you speaking so harshly? I’ve come to Ming Li King City to propose marriage, and Knight Star is here to welcome you back,”
the Ikh Demon Emperor replied.
Upon hearing this, Princess Isha frowned and expressed her discontent, “Father, who gave you the right to betroth me to Li Xing? I don’t like him at all! Have you even considered my feelings?”
“I won’t marry him! If you want to marry, you can do it yourself. I already have someone I love ……”
With that, Princess Isha turned on her heel and stormed away!
“That child, this isn’t like her at all ……”
The Ichthus Demon Emperor’s face flushed with anger!
Li Xing, too, was taken aback by Princess Isha’s words; although he felt a moment of displeasure, he quickly composed himself and said to the Ichthus Demon Emperor, “Father-in-law, don’t worry, I’ll win Isha’s heart ……”
“Li Xing, she is just a bit spoiled by me. Stay here longer, and I’m sure you can develop a bond ……”
the Ikh Demon Emperor reassured him.
“Understood, I’ll do my best!”
Knight Star nodded in agreement!
The Ikh Demon Emperor had arrangements made for Knight Star and his entourage while Knight Star persistently tried to engage Princess Isha in conversation, but she merely shot him blank stares and disregarded him.
Li Xing, however, remained undeterred; he continued to approach Princess Isha with conversation!
A day later, as Demon Emperor Yih rested, he hoped that Isha would soften her stance so that her marriage to Li Xing would forge an alliance between Demon Emperor City and Ming Li King City!
Uniting their families would mean that Demon Emperor City could finally stand against the beast lineage in the Celestial Human Realm, and more importantly, they could combine forces to claim the territories of other demon kings. After all, no one would refuse a larger domain.
“Demon Emperor, Mr. Chen requests an audience ……”
Just as Demon Emperor Yih was trying to relax, Elder Pei suddenly appeared with a report!
Upon hearing that Kai had arrived, the Ikh Demon Emperor sprang to his feet and hurried out in a flurry!
Although others were unaware of the significance, Emperor Yih understood the importance of the visit and did not dare to treat it lightly!
Elder Pei, observing the Ikh Demon Emperor’s anxious demeanor, was filled with questions, puzzled as to why the Demon Emperor showed such reverence towards Kai and rushed to greet him personally!
