Chapter 464: There Is No Man More Interesting Than Him

“Lin Pei???”

Hearing this name, Chu Yaoyao was slightly stunned… A man’s figure emerged in her mind.

But Chu Yaoyao still felt it was impossible.

How could that man possibly come to the Demon Race World?

And how could that man get involved with She Qiqi? And even marry her… No matter how she thought about it, Chu Yaoyao simply couldn’t see any connection between the two.

The problem was, according to the scouts’ reports, that man indeed came from the Myriad Laws World and was a human.

This left Chu Yaoyao feeling quite helpless.

However, if it wasn’t that Lin Pei, then who else would be qualified to be She Qiqi’s consort?

“I want to see a portrait of that man.”

Chu Yaoyao shook her head, not planning to think about it anymore.

Hearing is hollow, but seeing is believing.

Chu Yaoyao decided to get the man’s portrait first before letting her imagination run wild.

Besides, she didn’t have much time to consider other matters now… “Yes!”

The maid bowed and responded.

“This servant will arrange it immediately and will deliver the man’s portrait to Master’s hands as quickly as possible.”

“Mhm, good. You may leave!”

Chu Yaoyao nodded and continued looking at the documents in her hand.

However, as she read, Chu Yaoyao’s mind wandered again.

In her mind, she was still thinking about the man She Qiqi was marrying… and in that courtyard… how he had pinned her against the wall, and the words he said to her when he left… Half a month passed… Because of the Seventh Princess’s wedding, the Ten Thousand Demon Country temporarily suspended its plans to suppress Chu Yaoyao.

To them, a remnant of the old dynasty who hadn’t yet gained momentum was far less important than She Qiqi’s wedding.

In the Demon Emperor’s heart, getting his daughter’s marriage settled as soon as possible was the most reliable course of action.

Once his daughter’s wedding was over, She Qiqi would have no reason to stay in the Imperial Capital.

She Qiqi would have to go to her fiefdom.

Without being summoned, She Qiqi would not be able to return to the capital.

Not only that.

Once She Qiqi married, she would be considered half an outsider.

Therefore, the power in She Qiqi’s hands would also have to be transferred quickly.

Currently, She Qiqi controlled the largest intelligence agency in the entire Ten Thousand Demon Country, as well as an army of four hundred thousand.

In addition, She Qiqi held various other miscellaneous but crucial positions and powers.

All of this was a thorn in the side of the Demon Emperor and the other princes.

They had wanted to strip She Qiqi of her power for a long time.

But they could never find an excuse.

Now, transferring power and military command after marriage was an ancient rule, and She Qiqi had no reason to refuse.

So the Demon Emperor and the other princes were even more puzzled.

They had thought about arranging a marriage for She Qiqi before, forcing her to marry or something similar.

But in the end, everything was neutralized by She Qiqi.

Later on, no one even dared to mention marriage to She Qiqi.

And now, She Qiqi was taking the initiative to marry.

Both the Demon Emperor and the other princes were overjoyed.

But amidst their joy, they still felt there was a trick to this.

After all, She Qiqi was not the kind of woman who would truly give up the power in her hands just because she liked someone.

If she were really like that, she wouldn’t be She Qiqi, and she wouldn’t be so feared.

But they thought for a long time and still couldn’t figure out what She Qiqi was trying to do.

As the wedding preparations proceeded, it became an unstoppable trend; it was basically impossible to cancel the wedding.

They thought She Qiqi would make a move, but she actually did nothing at all.

Finally, on the day before the wedding.

The Demon Emperor and the princes all felt that even if She Qiqi wanted to make a move, it was absolutely impossible now.

Because there was simply no time left.

“Your Highness Seventh Princess, are you really going to marry that man from the Myriad Laws World?”

On the day before the wedding, Lush Orchid entered She Qiqi’s room and asked in confusion.

“Why not?”

Sitting before the mirror, the young girl trying on her red wedding attire turned her head and gave Lush Orchid a slight smile.

Looking at Her Highness’s exquisite smile and her tone that truly carried a hint of happiness, Lush Orchid was also momentarily dazed.

“Does Her Highness really like that Lin Xun?”

“That’s right, I do like him…”

She Qiqi smiled.

“Alright, Lush Orchid, don’t think about too many things.”

She Qiqi stood up, walked to Lush Orchid’s side, and reached out to gently stroke her long hair, her tone extremely soft.

“In short, just follow my arrangements. As for considering other things, that’s not for you to think about, nor is it what you’re good at.”

“What you need to do is risk your life for me, fight for me on the battlefield, and finally die for me. Do you understand?”

“Yes…”

Hearing She Qiqi’s almost heartless words, Lush Orchid not only felt no discomfort, but instead, her heart felt much more relaxed.

This was right; this was still the Seventh Princess… Her Highness hadn’t changed at all. If the Princess was doing this, there must be a reason.

“By the way, that man I asked you to find, Sister Yueer’s father—what was the result?” She Qiqi changed the subject and asked personally.

“Reporting to Your Highness, Sister Yueer’s father is still alive, but he is currently in the Fifth Prince’s army.”

“So he’s with my Fifth Brother…” She Qiqi nodded.

“Please rest assured, Your Highness. There’s no need for Your Highness to act personally for such a small matter. I will handle it. After all, his rank isn’t high.”

“Taking a Centurion from the Fifth Prince’s hands isn’t that difficult.”

“No, you must make this matter difficult. The best way is to let my Fifth Brother know that I want that man in his hands.”

“Then make the price paid for this matter higher, preferably letting my Fifth Brother take some advantage.”

“Hmm?”

Lush Orchid was somewhat puzzled.

“Your Highness, why should we do that?”

“Because the greater the price we pay, the greater the favor Sister Yueer will owe us, and that fellow Lin Xun will also feel he owes me a favor.”

“How about it? Do you understand now?”

“But that Lin Xun’s favor…”

Lush Orchid gently bit her red lip.

“Your Highness, I still don’t understand much.”

“Is that Lin Xun really that important?”

She Qiqi’s eyes curved into a smile: “Of course… for me, there is no man more interesting than him.”
