2902 The Proposal (1/2)
Di Fuyi offered his help to make her the next Monster King, but in return, she had to become his concubine.
Tu Shanying was a little reluctant at first. She confessed her love to him again and asked if she could be his legal wife instead. Together, they could both rule the Monster Kingdom together.
To which, Di Fuyi replied very frankly, \”The Monster Kingdom is not all that I am interested in. This is my only offer. If you agree to it, I will help you with all that I can, or get someone else to help you achieve your goal.\”
\”Are you going to marry another woman?\” Tu Shanying was quite disheartened.
\”Of course. I will only have one wife. The rest will be my concubines.\”
Tu Shanying thought about the offer for quite some time before agreeing to him. At a loss for words, Gu Xijiu stared at the screen blankly.
Suddenly, the whole setting displayed on the mirror was changed to the Celestial Kingdom. The Emperor Immortal could be seen drinking with Di Fuyi. However, the content of their conversation remained quite the same.
Di Fuyi was asking the Emperor Immortal if he could have the princess as his concubine. In return, he would be at the Emperor Immortal's service to rebuild the Celestial Kingdom.
The Emperor Immortal accepted the offer immediately and even went into details to discuss their collaboration.
\”Little Jiu, how do you feel about it?\” Meng Wuya looked at her fixedly for an answer.
She did not know that she was obliged to review the show. Nevertheless, she was also curious, \”Why must he use these concubines to secure his success?\” She finally revealed her concern.
Meng Wuya answered with a hint of sarcasm, \”It is a prevalent tactic used by most rulers to increase their influence. Royal marriages are not a union of love, but a game of power. The royal officials will only swear their oath of loyalty to the king when their daughters become part of the royal family. The king has to keep the marriages going to spread his power evenly, apart from extending the royal bloodline. Di Fuyi intends to rule the six worlds but has never ruled a kingdom before. However, his status was even nobler than royalty everywhere else. Once the fragmented world is united, all rulers will bow before him as submission of their loyalty. His marriage with the princesses will serve as a promise in return that he will always have their backs.\”
