Zhou Chang betrothing his son

The Hu County was situated in the Nirvana Domain.

In the Eternal Horizon Heaven, Nirvana Domain is not only the domain. There are 4 domains in the Eternal Horizon Heaven; every domain was then divided into kingdoms, and every kingdom was further segregated into counties.

Hu County was under the jurisdiction of Jade Trinity Kingdom, and the King of Hu was labeled as Lord. Truth be told, they were referred to as King (or lord) is because of the level of cultivation — King realm.

The level of cultivation was divided into nine realms: Fragment Realm, Formation Realm, Shattering Realm, King Realm, Void Realm, Voyager Realm, Sublime Realm, Empyrean Realm, Emperor Realm.

"Boss, I have bad news. The sentinels that were stationed on the ancient forbidden mountain have gone missing!" A panicking soldier said this as a Beefy General was tasting tea.

"Pfft." The General instantly spat a mouthful of water. He was having a good day and he thought of enjoying his holiday with two or three prostitutes, however, when he heard this his heart sunk instantly. He furiously said: "Missing? How can 4 grown men go missing? Search the Heaven Season Inn immediately!"

Missing? The General didn't buy such stupid shit. How could well-train soldiers disappear as if they were fogs? These 4 naughty soldiers definitely snuck out and played around with hustlers!

"We have gone there Boss." said the soldier with a helpless smile. "Actually His Majesty is already aware of this strange event. Aside from that, some witnesses said that the Sixth Prince was strolling on the forbidden region..."

"Eh? Don't tell me the Prince killed th—" No, that shouldn't be possible. The General nodded his head. How could a piece of trash murder cultivators of Formation Realm? He cleared his throat as he composed himself. He eyed the soldier: "Did you report this to the Majesty?! And where is the good-for-nothing prince now?"

The soldier hurriedly denied the accusation. "His Majesty was already aware of this matter, and then he ordered me to summon you in the hall at once."

The General's eyes widened when he heard that. Was he this unlucky? Heavens, after being promoted, he would get scolded? Ancient Forbidden Mountain was under his administration, so he would naturally be the first person to suffer the king's wrath.

——

Initially, the General thought his career was over, so he entered the Ancestral Hall crestfallen. However, when he entered, the King was actually not mad and he seemed to contemplate something. The King, however, told him to investigate this matter and told him to stationed guards of Shattering Realm.

In short, the meeting was not to scold him, but for something more important. As the General rejoiced, he took a quick glance at the other Generals— Even the Divine Generals were here.

Zhou Chang cleared his throat and started the discussion: "The Palace Lord of Myriad Palace will arrive in the afternoon. I want you to entertain them well."

A middle-level General was quick to say this: "Your Majesty, why would a powerhouse of Nirvana Domain come to our small city?"

"My Lord, don't you think this is suspicious? Furthermore, the Palace Lord is coming personally. Isn't it usually Envoys visiting small-scale cities?" A divine general was skeptical of this matter

The Majesty furrowed his brows as he said this: "He told me he came here to find a suitable pair for his beloved daughter. What's your opinion about this matter?"

"Majesty, do you think he came here for the Crowned Prince? After all, his fame has been spreading like a wildfire ever since he attained the King Realm. Is the Palace Lord wish to win over the prince through his daughter?" A witty General found this logical.

This issue worried Zhou Chang. The purpose of this meeting was to prepare for any possible wars breaking out. If he rejected their proposal, would they declare annihilation to their small city? He remarked: "This is troublesome. I need you to prepare for any possible battle happening. Secondly, I absolutely can't allow Ning'er to marry an ordinary girl. Furthermore, he is a student of Eternal Academy; the archenemy of Myriad Palace!"

The Beefy Man - who was previously crestfallen — mouth's twitch and his eyes brightened. He stood up and excitedly told this: "I have a good idea, your Majesty."

"Oh." The Majesty glance at him. He was not fond of this general and had been planning to demote him. With dangers lurking around, however, he had no time to deal with this person for the time being. He indifferently waved his sleeve. "Speak."

"Majesty, all the princes are very outstanding martial prodigies." The General didn't forget to lick his master's boots while he stated: "However the Sixth Prince prospects of Martial Talent seems lacking and not promising. How about we marry him over to the Myriad Palace?"

Some General thought it was a brilliant idea, killing two birds with stone(getting rid of the trash and resolving the dilemma). However, others thought it was very stupid. Although it wasn't certain which prince the Palace Lord was marrying his daughter, it's was an 80% chance of being the Crowned Prince.

Zhou Chang was the former. He thought it was a good idea. He long wished to get rid of the useless prince that was soiling his reputation. He nodded his head and decided to acknowledge this stupid-yet-excellent idea. He thought that this Beefy man seemed hardworking too, for that, he wouldn't demote him. He said: "Alright. Although this idea has little chance to work, we have to gamble it. Either we win it all or lose it all."

—

After Zhou Chang left the Ancestral Hall, he ordered a soldier to summon the Sixth Prince. He wanted to inquire him what he was doing in the Ancient Forbidden Mountain.

"Nothing much; just killing 4 annoying bugs." His sixth son responded to his question as he casually sat on a chair.

"What did you say?" Zhou Chang felt that it was strange. Killing 4 annoying bugs? Is he the murderer behind the missing sentinels? He hurriedly crossed that out. How could his trash son have the capability to kill cultivators? He would definitely not betrothed him if that's the case.

Zhou Chang composed himself and diverted the topic. He was smiling widely as he said this: "My dear son, some guests will come here in the afternoon. I'm thinking of matching you with a girl. Don't meander around, alright?"

Long Fengxian casually smiled and snatch Zhou Chang's tea. He then stood up, wander around the hall, and praised the paintings as he tasted the tea. He was very brazen and unstrained, seemingly treating his father as if he was a puff of smoke.

Moments later, he sat back on the chair and lazily said: "Is she beautiful?"

The King was dumbfounded by his act. This brat actually stole his tea? Calm down. Calm down. Zhou Chang breathed slowly and clasped his hands. "She's very pretty, however, she's a mortal like you, my dear son.

Long Fengxian merely smiled. Although the King was not obvious of his choice of words, he knew that this Zhou Chang was mocking him. After all, Zhou Mingyu couldn't cultivate. He stood up and glance at him. "That's fine. As long as nothing goes overboard, I'll promise you no storm will crash down. Otherwise, when Heaven gets furious, darkness will descend."

The King couldn't comprehend what he meant to say as he watched Fengxian left the hall leisurely.
