Lu Yin looked troubled, "Your Majesty, can we not get married?"
The Emperor looked at Lu Yin curiously, "You have someone you like?"
Lu Yin subconsciously shook his head, but then immediately nodded, "Yes."
Undying Yushan laughed, "Then forget about it. Rocky Auna suggested it himself. If you refuse, the Auna family will lose face and Firesmelt Planet will become a laughing stock."
Lu Yin was helpless, "Well, actually, I don't like Jenny Auna."
"Relationships can't last forever, especially for cultivators. They can live for hundreds of years, and relationships can't last long. It's just two people living together, so don't think too much about it."
Lu Yin was conflicted and was thinking about how to refuse when Undying Yushan suddenly thought of something. He leaned forward and stared at Lu Yin, "Little Yin, tell me the truth. Do you have feelings for Wendy?"
Lu Yin blinked but didn't answer.
Undying Yushan thought that he had guessed correctly and rubbed his aching head, "I promised Royal Brother Zishan that the Yushan and Zishan families would have a marriage contract, and it had to be between the direct descendants. You and Wendy do have a marriage contract, and I admit it. However, I cannot decide for her. If you want her, you have to fight for it yourself. I can only guarantee that I will not oppose it."
Lu Yin lowered his head.
Undying Yushan sighed, "Little Yin, I'm not trying to discourage you, but Wendy is definitely powerful even in the Innerverse. You should have heard of the Astral Combat Rankings, which is a list of the geniuses of the entire universe compiled by the Astral Combat Academy. Wendy is in the top twenty, which means that there are less than twenty people in the entire universe who can compare to her. Even I cannot underestimate her strength, and I can tell you that I have no intention of using her as a marriage contract to stabilize the Great Yu Empire. However, she has her sights set above her head, and I cannot influence her. If you want her, you have to at least enter the top fifty of the Astral Combat Rankings."
Lu Yin looked up and said firmly, "I'm confident, Your Majesty."
Undying Yushan laughed, "It's good to be confident. Since that's the case, I will help you talk to the Auna family. However, I won't reject you, but rather delay it for three years at most. If you can't win Wendy's heart in three years, you have to obediently marry Jenny. How about that?"
Lu Yin nodded and solemnly said, "Three years it is. I'm confident that Princess Wendy will see me in a new light."
Undying Yushan nodded and watched Lu Yin leave. "A whole new level of respect?
Wendy is the successor of the Innerverse's Myriad Swords Peak, and she wasn't nurtured by my Great Yu Empire. Otherwise, she wouldn't be that strong. It's not just difficult for you to catch her eye; it's practically impossible. Whatever, three years should be enough for me to restrain myself. "
Lu Yin exhaled as he walked out of the palace's courtyard. Thankfully, he had used Wendy Yushan to block the engagement.
What a joke! He wasn't even the real King Zishan, and he might not even be in the Great Yu Empire in three years. Who cared about his marriage?
As soon as Lu Yin left the palace, the news that he wanted to marry the Fifth Princess Wendy Yushan spread, causing countless people to ridicule him.
Wendy Yushan's strength was not something that the average person could comprehend. She was the captain of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons and someone who had defeated a Cruiser. She was also the successor of an enormous power in the Innerverse, and no one in the younger generation of the Great Yu Empire was worthy of her attention. Even Schutz, Gerbach, and the others did not dare to even dream of seducing someone like her. However, there were rumors that Lu Yin wanted to obtain her, which was no different from a fool's dream.
For a moment, this matter became the laughingstock of the entire Capital Star.
Within the Auna family's study, Family Head Xueshan Auna slammed the table. "A mere junior from the Firesmelt Planet dares to use my Auna family?! I'll make him pay for this sooner or later!"
Rocky Auna sat down indifferently and said, "Jenny seems to like Yan Feng a lot."
"So what if she likes him? The Firesmelt Planet's environment isn't suitable for my Auna family to survive in. Besides, once we're connected to the Firesmelt Planet through marriage, how will my Auna family survive in the Great Yu Empire?"
At that moment, Rocky Auna received a message from his gadget. He glanced at it and frowned, displeasure flashing through his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Xueshan Auna asked.
Rocky Auna replied, "King Zishan wants to marry Princess Wendy."
Xueshan Auna sneered. "He doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. Even Schutz and the others don't have the guts to say such a thing, let alone him?
What, does he look down on Jenny? "
"Jenny was completely defeated by him during Earth's trial," Rocky Auna replied.
Xueshan Auna grew angry at the mention of this, "What a disappointment! She couldn't even beat a native. Pass down my orders, she can't leave the house until she becomes a Melder."
"What about King Zishan?" Rocky Auna asked.
Xueshan Auna muttered to himself for a moment before answering, "You've already acknowledged this marriage in court, so you can't go back on your word. The royal family and the Zishan family also have a marriage contract, so both sides are reasonable. No one will mock my Auna family over this matter. However, this King Zishan is a little too arrogant. He actually asked for a bribe a few days ago, so we should teach him a lesson.
Not long after, Jenny Auna was dragged home from the bar. Torry smiled bitterly at her, "I'm sorry, Miss, but from today onwards, you can't leave the house until you become a Melder."
Jenny Auna glared at Torry, "I heard Uncle married me off to that bastard Lu Yin during the royal court. Is that right?
And that bastard doesn't want to marry me, he wants to marry Princess Wendy. "
Torry shrugged helplessly, not knowing how to respond.
Jenny was furious, "That bastard dares to look down on me? He's just a lowly native. I, Jenny Auna, will never marry someone like that. He's a robber, a despicable, shameless person. I'd rather die than marry him. I'm going to cultivate and become a Melder as soon as possible so that I can return all the humiliation he's given me."
Torry Auna sighed. Perhaps he should thank Lu Yin; without him, Jenny would still be immersed in her worship of Yan Feng and wouldn't be cultivating.
Torry Auna couldn't help but admire the youth who had dared to face them and threaten them. Not every native dared to raise conditions with the Empire, especially when the other party was a space-exploring powerhouse.
Unfortunately, a person's talent was destined at birth. No matter how talented he was, his talent was limited to the Great Yu Empire. Princess Wendy was a publicly acknowledged genius in the universe, and even Yan Feng wasn't someone he could compare to.
Lu Yin hadn't expected such a huge reaction to his marriage. Although most of them were mocking him, there were some who were sincerely looking forward to it. For example, there were some in the Third Ring who had paid close attention to Lu Yin even though they hadn't interacted with him.
In the Empire's prison, Sigmund Mathers was restrained by a light prison. In front of him was a youth who looked at him in pain; it was his son, Wukai Mathers.
"You want to marry Princess Wendy?
That's too difficult, "Sigmund sighed.
Wukai replied, "If you really do marry her, it'll shock the entire Outerverse."
"Not just the Outerverse, but the entire universe. Princess Wendy is ranked in the top twenty of the Astral Combat Rankings and is the successor of Myriad Swords Peak. She's famous throughout the universe, and her every move is being watched by countless people. When King Zishan was conferred the title, there were already people investigating him. The marriage agreement between the Zishan and Yushan families isn't a secret, and now that King Zishan is being so high-profile, countless people are probably talking about it."
"Father, what should we do?
King Zishan saved your life, "Wukai said.
Sigmund glared at him, "Don't say such things in the future. Go back and don't do anything. You're not allowed to interact with Raas and the others."
Wukai nodded.
In the depths of the dark universe, a beam of light shot out at high speed. It was a medium-sized spaceship that was silvery-white in color, and its hull was engraved with patterns of wings and swords. Around it were ten black figures, which were the symbols of the Universe Youth Council. These ten black figures represented the Ten Arbiters.
Inside the spaceship, dozens of people were trembling in fear as they stood there. In front of them was a burly man who was close to three meters tall. He was using a finger to guide his body upwards. Sweat dripped down his face, drenching a large area on the ground. The hard ground was even cracked by his finger, gradually spreading out.
Not too far away, a number slowly flashed. It was the gravity value, which was currently displayed at 150.
The burly man's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he bent his finger to easily flip himself up. A maid beside him immediately crushed a water crystal to wash the man's body.
"Are you saying that King Zishan of the Great Yu Empire wants to marry Councilor Wendy?" the man asked casually as he wiped his body.
Dozens of people lowered their heads, "Yes, the news came from the Great Yu Empire, and Undying Yushan didn't object."
The burly man sneered, "How audacious! A savage native wants to swallow the heavens."
"Lord Bazeer, these natives may be small, but they're disgusting. If this news reaches Lord Puyu's ears, the results won't be good," someone stepped forward and whispered.
