Chapter 102: Letter from Tianyu
After Yu Wenmo and the others left the arena, they headed straight to where their flying boat was docked.
Unlike Ye Qianshan's vessel, their flying boat did not possess a Sumeru sub-space, which allowed for easy storage and portability. Instead, it had to be parked in the designated flying boat area within the Black Domain.
Once aboard, Yu Wenmo remained silent, his expression dark and brooding as he took his seat. No one else dared to speak.
It was clear to everyone that he was in an extremely foul mood.
Just then, a letter suddenly flew in from a distance, drifting like a feather on the wind.
It was an emergency transmission from the Tianyu Empire—a method that allowed him to receive messages across thousands of miles instantly!
Seeing the glowing letter approaching, Yu Wenmo raised his hand and caught it mid-air.
His eyes quickly scanned the contents, and in the next moment, his already grim expression turned even darker.
"Snap!"
With a single motion, he crushed the letter in his palm. Then, without hesitation, he lifted his hand and traced a few sharp strokes through the air. A flickering glow appeared, forming his response before he waved his hand violently.
A streak of light shot out, carrying his message back toward the Tianyu Empire at an astonishing speed.
Having done this, Yu Wenmo abruptly slammed his hand onto the coffee table before him—shattering it into pieces!
"Break off the engagement? In your dreams!"
His voice was filled with fury.
The Luo family dared to propose annulling the engagement? Ridiculous! Impossible!
Luo Qingtong was destined to belong to him, in life or in death!
There was no chance he would allow the engagement to be dissolved!
Yu Wenmo didn't care what Yu Wenxue had done to Luo Qingtong. That was irrelevant to him.
The only thing that mattered was that the Luo family had no right to defy him!
If he wanted to marry Luo Qingtong, the Luo family would have no choice but to obey.
And if they refused? Then he would simply destroy them and take Luo Qingtong back to the Tianyu Empire by force!
After all, he only needed her as a decoration—nothing more.
Whether Luo Qingtong was willing or whether her family approved was not his concern.
They were nothing more than a lowly prince's household from an inferior nation—what right did they have to reject him?
His gaze turned frigid.
If not for the strategic significance of this marriage, he would never have even looked at Luo Qingtong.
As Yu Wenxue had said, she was far beneath him in every way.
Meanwhile, in the Tianyu Empire
The glowing message streaked across the sky, traveling vast distances before landing directly in the hands of Emperor Tianyu.
Eagerly watching from the side, Queen Tianyu leaned forward.
"What did Mo'er say?" she asked anxiously.
Beside her, Yu Wenxue also straightened up, her gaze locked onto her father's expression.
"Mo'er refuses to break off the engagement," Emperor Tianyu said flatly, crushing the letter in his grasp. "He has ordered the Luo family to remain obedient and wait until Luo Qingtong turns sixteen to marry him."
"What?!"
Queen Tianyu and Yu Wenxue both exclaimed in disbelief.
"He's refusing to dissolve the engagement?" Queen Tianyu's expression darkened in frustration, while Yu Wenxue clenched her fists so tightly that the fabric of her dress twisted in her grip.
"Brother must be insane!" Yu Wenxue fumed. "After everything that happened, he still insists on going through with the engagement? Doesn't he realize how humiliating this is for our royal family? We're becoming a laughingstock!" She stomped her foot in frustration.
"And whose fault is that?" Emperor Tianyu shot her a cold glare. "You're the one who attacked Luo Qingtong first! Do you think your brother agreed to this engagement for no reason? It's because of you and your mother constantly stirring up trouble!"
"I wasn't causing trouble! I did it for our empire's benefit!" Yu Wenxue argued, her eyes flashing with resentment.
"That was a perfect opportunity! If only Brother had agreed, he could have risen to power immediately, and the Tianyu royal family could have ascended to greater heights! What did I do wrong?! Besides, didn't you and Mother both approve of this plan?"
Her frustration boiled over as she glared at her parents.
"No matter how useful marrying Luo Qingtong might be for my royal brother…" Emperor Tianyu exhaled sharply, his eyes narrowing.
"But does it compare to what that other person could bring him?"
A heavy silence fell over the room.
