Chapter 273 Ao Xue and Ao Shuang’s intentions, and the hesitation of the two Dragon Kings!
"Princesses Aoxue and Aoshuang! Put down your wine glasses immediately and stop drinking. You are already intoxicated! Shrimp soldiers! Come quickly and escort the two princesses back to the palace to rest!"
Li Chen's face was also flushed at this moment, his steps were staggering, and he was shouting incoherently, while at the same time he did not forget to frantically command the shrimp soldiers and crab generals around him.
His once clear eyes were now bloodshot, and his body swayed slightly, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment. Despite this, he still managed to hold on, determined to get the two princesses back to the Dragon Palace safely.
"Humph, all of you get out of this princess' way! Who told you we were drunk? That's nonsense!"
Ao Xue and Ao Shuang grumbled in unison, their faces filled with cheerful smiles. They supported each other, barely able to stand. The aroma of alcohol emanating from them filled the air, making people intoxicated. Even the surrounding soldiers and generals, upon hearing this, dared not take a step forward.
After all, the woman before them wasn't just any ordinary woman, but the incomparably noble Princess of the Dragon Palace. Who would dare to so easily disobey the Princess's will? Everyone could only look at each other, unsure of what to do.
"Hehehe...Brother Li Chen, when I look for my ideal husband in the future, I will definitely look for a man as upright and self-reliant as Brother Li Chen!"
Ao Xue smiled foolishly, and as she spoke, she staggered into Li Chen's arms, holding his waist tightly with both hands and refusing to let go. On the other side, Ao Shuang also hugged Li Chen's waist from behind.
By this time, Li Chen's face had already flushed red with embarrassment, like a ripe apple. Although this similar scene had been played out many times, he could not help but feel a little shy in his heart at such close contact with the princess in public.
"Yes, yes, yes, sister, you are absolutely right. I have the same idea!" Ao Shuang on the side also echoed, looking at Li Chen with a dazed look, her cheeks flushed, like the gorgeous sunset in the sky.
Ao Shuang also echoed, and Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, and Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, who were sitting next to them, looked at their two daughters who were holding Li Chen one in front and one behind, and smiled like an aunt.
After all, the daughter he raised has finally grown up, and she has fallen in love with a man he also likes. He is not only capable, but also kind-hearted. With him around, Dragon Palace will definitely move towards a better future!
"father!"
"father!"
Ao Xue and Ao Shuang acted coquettishly to the two Dragon Kings at the same time, and then their subsequent words shocked the shrimp soldiers, crab generals, dragon descendants and grandchildren present in the room!
"Dad! I want to marry Brother Li Chen!"
The two dragon ladies shouted in unison, as if they were in sync. Though their eyes were dim with wine, their bright and resolute gazes and affectionate tones showed that these words were no drunken rants, but rather sincere, heartfelt expressions of their hearts.
"Great! In that case, today is truly an auspicious day! We've traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, endured countless hardships and dangers, fought bloody battles with the Rain Witch and his minions, and ultimately won a great victory. This is already a great joyous event. In that case, why not add another layer of joy to the icing on the cake?!"
The Dragon King of the East China Sea shouted with a resounding voice, addressing the numerous shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and dragon descendants present. His voice, like rolling thunder, echoed endlessly throughout the Water Curtain Cave.
Upon hearing this, the shrimp soldiers, crab generals, and dragon descendants were initially stunned, as if under a spell. They stood there with their mouths slightly open, faces filled with astonishment. However, after a moment, they regained their senses as if awakened from a dream, and a thunderous applause broke out.
The applause was deafening, like thousands of horses galloping, or waves crashing against the shore, rushing straight into the sky, as if to break through the extremely thick ceiling of the Water Curtain Cave, soaring all the way up until it reached the vast and boundless sky.
Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, said loudly, "Today is an auspicious day for a match made in heaven. I, Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, wish to betroth my beloved daughter, Ao Xue, the Third Princess of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, to Li Chen!"
Before he finished speaking, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, was not to be outdone. He shouted loudly, "I, Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, am also willing to marry my daughter, Ao Shuang, the Third Princess of the West Sea Dragon Palace, to Li Chen!"
The voices of the two Dragon Kings rose and fell, echoing continuously in the Water Curtain Cave, the lingering sound lingering for a long time. After hearing what the two Dragon Kings said, the two teams of well-trained shrimp soldiers and crab generals did not dare to neglect for a moment and quickly moved to the side of the two princesses.
They deftly stripped the two princesses of their original clothes, then carefully dressed them in gorgeous phoenix coronet and robes, meticulously applying gouache, rouge, and other makeup. In the blink of an eye, the two princesses had transformed into gorgeous brides who looked as beautiful as fairies.
Faced with this scene, Li Chen was completely stunned, standing there like a clay sculpture or wooden carving. His eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. He thought to himself, "How could these two Dragon Kings act so quickly and resolutely? The speed of marrying off their daughter is simply beyond imagination!"
"Brother Li Chen!"
As this gentle and sweet cry rang out, the cheeks of the two dragon girls flushed with shyness at the same time, just like ripe apples.
At this moment, their carefully made-up faces are even more beautiful, and their delicate skin is lightly smeared with powder and rouge, making them as delicate and beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Look at the phoenix coronet and bridal robe they are wearing, which are gorgeous clothes unique to brides. They are embroidered with exquisite patterns and gold and silver threads, sparkling with dazzling light, making them look even more beautiful and graceful.
"At this moment, the two brides have finished dressing up! Li Chen, why don't you, the groom, hurry up and enter the bridal chamber?"
The two Dragon Kings shouted in unison, their eagerness as if they were afraid of missing some important moment. Their unanimous actions were truly amusing.
Even Li Chen, Fairy Hibiscus, and the others standing nearby were speechless at this moment. After all, Li Chen hadn't even spoken out, or even explicitly agreed to the marriage, yet they were being forced into this marriage without a clear reason.
Faced with this situation, Li Chen took a deep breath, gathered his composure, and then responded solemnly, "Two Dragon Kings, please listen to me. I'm sure you all understand that I, Li Chen, cannot remain forever in peace in the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain. My destiny is to stop the ruthless Twelve Ancestral Witches from destroying the entire world. Therefore, I cannot remain here for long, and I cannot easily accept this marriage."
However, Li Chen did not elaborate on the various interests involved to the two Dragon Kings. He just hoped that through these concise and clear words, the two Dragon Kings would give up and give up the idea of marrying their beloved daughters to him.
"this!"
The two Dragon Kings were almost silent at the same time. Chen's words undoubtedly poured cold water on them. You know, they spent a long time trying to defeat only one of the twelve ancient witches!
And now Li Chen told them that he was going to conquer the remaining Ancestral Witches. If they married their daughters, wouldn't they have to follow Li Chen to conquer the remaining twelve Ancestral Witches?
Once Li Chen is killed by the remaining ancestor witches, his daughter will definitely be implicated and become the target of attack by those ancient demons!
