Lu Yin's face was troubled, "Your Majesty, can we not get married?"
Bushi Yushan looked at Lu Yin curiously, "Do you have a sweetheart?"
Lu Yin subconsciously shook his head, but immediately nodded, "Yes, I do."
Bushi Yushan laughed, "Then forget it. This was proposed by Rock Ona himself. Refusing would make the Ona family lose face and make the Inflame Star a laughingstock."
Lu Yin was helpless, "Actually, I don't like Jenny Ona."
"People's feelings don't last a lifetime, especially for cultivators. With lifespans of hundreds of years, emotions don't last long. Just live together, don't overthink it," Bushi Yushan said calmly.
Lu Yin was conflicted, considering how to refuse. Suddenly, Bushi Yushan thought of something, leaned forward, and stared at Lu Yin, "Xiao Yin, tell me the truth, do you have feelings for Wendy?"
Lu Yin blinked but didn't answer.
Bushi Yushan thought he was right and held his head in frustration, "I promised my brother, King Zishan, that the Yushan clan and the Zishan clan have a marriage agreement, and it must be between direct descendants. You and Wendy do have a marriage agreement, I admit that, but I can't control Wendy. If you want her, you have to fight for her. I can only promise not to oppose you."
Lu Yin lowered his head.
Bushi Yushan sighed, "Xiao Yin, I'm not trying to discourage you, but Wendy is one of the strongest in the inner universe. You've probably heard of the Star War List, which ranks the top young geniuses in the universe. Wendy is in the top twenty, meaning there are no more than twenty young geniuses in the universe who can match her. Her strength is not to be underestimated, even by me. I can tell you that I have no intention of using her to secure the Great Yushan Empire. However, she is very proud, and I can't influence her. If you want her, you need to at least enter the top fifty on the Star War List. Otherwise, it's impossible."
Lu Yin looked up and said firmly, "Uncle, I have confidence."
Bushi Yushan laughed, "Having confidence is good. Since that's the case, I'll help you with the Ona family, but not to refuse, just to delay. For up to three years. If you haven't won Wendy's heart by then, you must marry Jenny. How about that?"
Lu Yin nodded and said solemnly, "Three years, then three years. I have confidence that in three years, I can make Princess Wendy look at me differently."
Bushi Yushan nodded, watching Lu Yin leave, "Look at me differently? Young man's ambition. Wendy is the successor of the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain in the inner universe, not someone we can cultivate in the Great Yushan Empire. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so strong. For you to enter her eyes, it's not just difficult, it's impossible. Well, three years is enough to temper your ambition."
As Lu Yin walked out of the imperial palace courtyard, he sighed in relief. Fortunately, using Wendy Yushan to block the marriage worked. Three years? Ha, I'm not really the King of Zishan. In three years, I might already be out of the Great Yushan Empire. Who cares about the marriage agreement?
As soon as Lu Yin left the imperial palace, the news that he wanted to marry Princess Wendy Yushan spread, causing countless people to mock him.
Wendy Yushan's strength was beyond what ordinary people could understand. She was the captain of the Royal Court's Thirteenth Team, who had defeated a cruiser-level strongman, and the successor of a major power in the inner universe. No one in the young generation of the Great Yushan Empire could catch her eye. Even people like Xiz, Gurbach, and others didn't dare to dream of her. The news that Lu Yin wanted her was like a dreamer's fantasy.
For a time, this became a laughingstock throughout the imperial capital.
In the Ona family's study, the family head, Snow Ona, slammed his hand on the table, "A mere young man from Inflame Star dares to use our Ona family. I will settle this score sooner or later."
Rock Ona sat calmly and said, "Jenny seems to like Yanfeng."
"So what if she likes him? Inflame Star's environment is not suitable for our Ona family to survive. Besides, once we marry into Inflame Star, how will our Ona family stand in the Great Yushan Empire?" Snow Ona said.
At this moment, Rock Ona's personal terminal received a message. He glanced at it, his brows furrowed, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Snow Ona asked.
Rock Ona said solemnly, "King Zishan wants to marry Princess Wendy."
Snow Ona sneered, "Overconfident. Even Xiz and the others don't have the nerve to say such things. What makes him think he can? What, he doesn't even like Jenny?"
"Jenny was defeated by him during the Earth trial, completely," Rock Ona said.
Mentioning this, Snow Ona was furious, "Useless. She can't even defeat a native. Pass the order, she can't leave the manor until she breaks through to the Fusion Realm."
"What about King Zishan?" Rock Ona asked.
Snow Ona pondered for a moment and said, "You can't back out of the marriage agreement you acknowledged in the imperial court. The royal family and the Zishan clan have a marriage agreement, and both sides are reasonable. No one will mock our Ona family over this. However, this King Zishan is getting too arrogant. A few days ago, he openly demanded a bribe. We should teach him a lesson, or he'll cause trouble when he enters our family."
Soon, Jenny Ona was dragged back from a bar. Toler Ona looked at her with a bitter smile, "Miss, I'm sorry, but you can't leave the manor until you break through to the Fusion Realm."
Jenny Ona glared at Toler Ona, "I heard that Uncle betrothed me to that scoundrel Lu Yin in the imperial court. Is that true? And that scoundrel doesn't want to marry me, he wants to marry Princess Wendy."
Toler Ona was at a loss, not knowing how to respond.
Jenny was furious, "That scoundrel dares to look down on me? Just a poor native. I, Jenny Ona, will never marry such a person. Robber, despicable scoundrel. I'll never marry him, I'll start cultivating and break through to the Fusion Realm as soon as possible, and I'll return all the humiliation he's given me," she said angrily and stormed off.
Toler Ona sighed. Perhaps he should thank Lu Yin. Without him, Jenny would still be infatuated with Yanfeng and wouldn't be motivated to cultivate.
Thinking of the young man who dared to face them and threaten them, Toler Ona felt a bit of admiration. Not every native dared to make demands on the empire, especially one who was a strongman wandering the stars.
Unfortunately, a person's talent is innate. Even if he had more talent, it would be limited to the Great Yushan Empire. Princess Wendy was a universally recognized genius, and even Yanfeng couldn't match her.
Lu Yin didn't expect such a strong reaction to the marriage issue. Although most of the reactions were mocking, some were genuinely hopeful, such as some people in the Third Ring Army who, despite not having contact with Lu Yin, had always been paying attention to him.
In the imperial prison, Xiken Mardo was restrained by a light cage. In front of him, a young man looked at him in pain, his son, Uke Mardo.
"Want to marry Princess Wendy? It's too difficult," Xiken Mardo sighed.
Uke Mardo said, "If you really marry her, it would shock the outer universe."
"Not just the outer universe, but the entire starry sky. Princess Wendy is ranked in the top twenty on the Star War List, a successor of the Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, and famous throughout the universe. Her every move is watched by countless people. The moment King Zishan was sealed, people started investigating everything about him. The marriage agreement between the Zishan clan and the Yushan clan is no secret. Now that King Zishan is being so high-profile, countless stars are discussing this," Xiken Mardo said.
"Father, what should we do? King Zishan saved your life," Uke Mardo said.
Xiken Mardo glared at him, "Don't say such things again. Go back, do nothing, and never deal with people like Las again."
Uke Mardo nodded.
In the depths of the dark universe, a streak of light shot out at high speed, a medium-sized spaceship, silver-white, with patterns of flying wings and swords on its hull. Surrounding it were ten black shadows, the symbol of the Young Council of the Universe. These ten shadows represented the Ten Decisions.
Inside the spaceship, dozens of people stood trembling in fear. In front of them, a giant man, nearly three meters tall, was doing pull-ups with one finger. Sweat dripped from his face, wetting a large area of the ground, and the hard ground was even cracked by his finger, spreading gradually.
Not far away, a number flashed, showing the gravity value—150.
The giant man suddenly focused his gaze, bent his finger, and easily flipped up. A nearby servant immediately crushed a water crystal and washed the giant man's body.
"You mean the King of the Great Yushan Empire openly wants to marry Councilor Wendy?" the giant man asked, wiping his body casually.
Dozens of people bowed their heads, "Yes, the news came from the Great Yushan Empire, and Bushi Yushan did not oppose it."
The giant man sneered, "What a big dog's courage, a barbarian native wants to swallow the sky."
"Lord Bazel, natives may be small, but they are very annoying. If this news reaches Lord Buyou's ears, the consequences won't be good," one person stepped forward and said softly.
