“She is not the princess, but she is excellent in air and look, I have never seen anyone like this in your country, nor in mine. How unfortunate,” Xuan Lin said pitifully.
He could exchange 10 magical monsters with the King of the Saint Divine Land if he was able to marry that girl, but this princess was his last resort. He had never met the princess before, and did not know what she was like. If not for the bet with Zhou Huailing, he would not have wanted to marry her. It was so troublesome to marry a princess.
He could do whatever he wanted with any other woman, but a princess was someone he had to take good care of for the sake of the relationship between the two countries.
Therefore Xuan Lin was not very pleased.
Zhou Huailing laughed weakly as he heard him mentioning Gu Chaoyan. He was not going to allow Xuan Lin to marry Gu Chaoyan, because she was an excellent person to be kept for himself. When he took the throne, he could just steal her.

However, in front of Xuan Lin, Zhou Huailing still said, “Oh, Gu Chaoyan must be whom you are talking about. Well, just drop the thought, you should have been here one year earlier, but now she is engaged with my Eighth Brother and it’s not that easy to steal her away.”
Xuan Lin was very displeased. He was just expressing his inner thoughts emotionally. After all, he noticed that he really liked her, but he was not that happy to hear how Zhou Huailing reacted to his words.
He was not going to be pushed down in front of Zhou Huailing. He pursed his lips. “That is hard to say.”
Zhou Huailing stared at Xuan Lin, though he was feeling indifferent. Xuan Lin gave a very wild laugh.
Zhou Huailing was feeling a little uncomfortable, so he changed the subject and continued with the conversation for a while longer.

When Jian Yuxing learned that the King gave a princess to Xuan Lin, it was already the afternoon.
On his visit to the Saint Divine Land, he just handed in some tributes and participated in the Spring Hunt, since that was what interested him above all, but… He had not expected that the North Qi Land and the Saint Divine Land would decide to establish a marriage alliance!
He was totally shocked. He went to talk about this with the prince of the Feather Mulberry Land.
It was a time when the four countries were under their own sovereign. The four countries were individuals and as long as they stayed that way, the whole world would stay peaceful.
If two countries were combined, then he would choose to reach a mutual understanding with the prince of the Feather Mulberry Land.
Muyi was surprised. He did not expect that Jian Yuxing would come to see him.
He had met Jian Yuxing before. He was always an independent, outstanding man who was not that easy to deal with.
“Brother Yuxing, what is it?” Prince Muyi asked confusedly.
“Well, one thing you may not know. The King has given Princess Xunyang to Xuan Lin. That means that the two countries are conducting a marriage alliance!” Jian Yuxing said seriously.
What?! A marriage alliance?
Prince Muyi found the whole thing peculiar. He grabbed Jian Yuxing subconsciously and said, “I will take you to one place.”
Then he hurried off.
He took Jian Yuxing to Gu Chaoyan’s mansion and sat down in front of Gu Chaoyan, but Jian Yuxing had no idea what Prince Muyi was about to do.
He looked at Gu Chaoyan and asked Muyi next to him. “Who is this lady?”
