Chapter 40: Teasing (Votes)

  Princess Mingyue was stunned for a long time before walking out of the palace. Only when she came out did she find that Qi Bei was waiting outside.

  "Let's go." Qi Bei smiled slightly and stretched out his hand once again.

  The bright moon princess no longer ignored him, placing the soft grass in Qi Bei's palm, which was wrapped by his large hand, and pulled together to walk out.

  In the garden of the Moon Palace, two rows of palace maids stood in place under the command of the ceremonial officer. When the maid from the Nuo De family saw Qi Bei and Princess Ming Yue appear hand in hand, she stepped forward to unfold a flowing, colorful ribbon, dozens of meters long, for them. Their main task was to pull this ribbon from both sides, making it look like a floating rainbow.

  As it happens, Qi Bei and Princess Ming Yue standing together are truly a perfect match, like a pair of jade people.

  Qī Bě led Princess Mingyue onto the carriage, at which point the roof and four walls of the carriage were lowered to form a large platform, changing from an enclosed style to an open-top style, so that onlookers could see inside, under the guise of "sharing joy with the people".

  At the sound of an order, the carriage moved slowly and exited the palace gate.

  At this time, there were several times more onlookers on Jin Ye's First Avenue than when they came, and at a glance, it was all crowded with people.

  "Mingyue, are you nervous? Your palms are sweating." Qi Bei asked with a smile, ignoring the cheering crowd that was like a tidal wave, and only feeling the sweaty palms of Princess Mingyue.

  "It's your hand that's too hot." Princess Mingyue said lightly, her small hand exerting force to pull back, but Qi Bei held on tightly, and no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.

  "Don't move, or I'll kiss you in front of everyone. These people are waiting to see a good show." Qi Bei said.

  Princess Mingyue didn't dare to move again, she believed that Qi Bei would do what he said, if the two of them started fighting in the carriage, the entire Golden Leaf Empire would become a laughing stock for neighboring countries.

  "I heard your senior brother has arrived." Qi Bei said casually.

  "Not bad." Princess Mingyue nodded.

  "I now feel like a thorn in the back, see if it's your senior brother who wants to kill me with his gaze." Qi Bei glanced at the left rear, and whispered into Mingyue Princess's ear.

  The warm air from the north blew on Princess Mingyue's delicate earlobe, making her feel numb and itchy, and a flush of red naturally spread from her ear root.

  "Can you get a bit further away from me?" Princess Mingyue gritted her teeth in anger, she was really afraid that she couldn't bear to kick him off the carriage with one foot, and letting him hold her hand was already her utmost tolerance.

  "Oh, I see him, it's that guy, he looks quite human-like now. Hmm, why are his eyes red? Did he catch pinkeye?" Qi Bei directly ignored Ming Yue Princess' words and spoke to himself.

  The bright moon princess frowned slightly, her master brother wouldn't be so foolish as to make a move at this time, would he?

  "He raised a burning torch and began chanting an incantation." Qi Bei's voice suddenly turned cold.

  Princess Mingyue's heart skipped a beat as she turned her head and looked back.

  At this moment, Qi Bei's lips quickly kissed Mingyue Princess's earlobe.

  The princess was like being struck by lightning, her slender body stiffened, and she turned her head to stare at Qi Bei, her beautiful eyes suddenly surging with stormy waves, her pretty face flushing red with anger.

  "It smells so good." Zhi Bei laughed very mischievously.

  The Princess of Bright Moon suddenly stood up, about to erupt.

  "We've arrived, let's go down. Your Royal Highness has a big enough face, the entire Nuo De family has come out to welcome us." Qi Bei said.

  The princess's anger, which was on the verge of erupting, was suddenly doused with a basin of cold water. She looked ahead and found that they had indeed arrived at the entrance of the Nuo De family residence. Qi Bei's father and several uncles emerged one after another, followed by more than a dozen younger members of the family.

  The bright moon princess's beautiful eyes cut Qi Bei with a knife-like gaze, took a deep breath to calm her emotions, and the smile at the corner of her mouth seemed a bit stiff.

  Standing out in the crowd like a crane among chickens was Tongtian Mountain's disciple, Feng Tian. He held a purple magic wand in his hand and had an angry expression frozen on his face. A powerful killing intent locked onto him, making him dare not move. Originally a king-grade magician, he was already considered an extremely strong existence in the eyes of the world. However, the person hiding in the shadows was at least an earth-grade strong practitioner.

  Until Princess Mingyue and Qi Bei entered the Nuo De Fu, that killing intent only retreated.

  His face was overcast, but in his heart he was secretly rejoicing. Just now, he had almost lost his composure when he saw the intimacy between Qi Bei and Princess Mingyue. If he had taken action, he feared it would have been difficult to recover.

  Zi Bei and Ming Yue Princess attended the early banquet in the Nuo De Mansion, then went to the Temple of the Goddess of Life located in the southern part of the Imperial City with the Nuo De family members who were qualified to attend the engagement ceremony.

  The Goddess of Life and the God of Light are the two main deities most revered by the world's races, for they saved this world ten thousand years ago by re-sealing the Gates of Hades.

  Almost every city has a Temple of Life Goddess and a Temple of Light, with believers flocking to worship every day.

  The Temple of the Goddess of Life in Jin Ye Huang Du is grand in scale, and the square in front of the temple alone can accommodate tens of thousands of people. The statue of the Goddess of Life stands in the center of the square, over 30 meters high, holding a scepter of life in her hand, with a pure and holy smile on her face, making people feel like they are basking in the warm spring breeze.

  At this time, the Temple of the Goddess of Life had already been decorated, with flowers and guests gathering, waiting for the two protagonists to take the stage.

  Emperor Harmor was dressed in casual attire, chatting intimately with Nord's master Corti. The monarch and his subject seemed to be getting along famously, but for these old foxes, even if their hatred had reached the bone, a warm smile could still be conjured up at will, without leaving any trace.

  "Yurou, what are you thinking about?" Feng Ruoyun patted her sister, who was leaning on her hand with a vacant expression.

  "It's so boring." Feng Ruoyu said listlessly.

  "Bored? You, little girl, also get bored sometimes? Didn't you used to love this kind of occasion? And didn't those few boys just follow you around earlier? Did you chase them away?" Feng Ruoyun asked with interest.

  "Alas, sister, I don't know either. Those few little brats only know how to boast and are so childish!" Feng Ruoyu said disdainfully.

  Feng Ruoyun couldn't help but laugh, sat down, and wrapped her jade arm around Feng Ruoyu's small fragrant shoulder, asking: "Then who does my little girl think is not childish?"

  Feng Ruoyu blinked her big green eyes and said, "Of course it's...my brother-in-law."

  Feng Ru Yun knocked her little sister's head and said: "This little brain of yours, I don't know what kind of things you've got stuffed in there, so young yet so cunning."

  "Sister, after we attend the engagement ceremony, are we going back?" asked Feng Ruoyu.

  "Of course, we've been out for long enough." Feng Ruoyun nodded and said.

  "But Brother Qi Bei's story isn't finished yet." Feng Ruoyu said with a pout.

  Feng Ru Yu was taken aback for a moment, her beautiful eyes staring straight at her sister, as if trying to see the flower on her little face.
