This voice was different from any other voice Lei Yuan had heard in the palace, and his guard immediately went up. However, before he could look up, a gorgeous figure jumped in front of him. Then, the slightly arrogant voice said again,”You’re quite good-looking.”

This time, Lei Yuan could finally see the person in front of him clearly. It was a blonde, petite yet large-breasted girl!

Looking at the loli, whose height only reached his chest, Lei Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

The loli did not care about his thoughts. Her round cat-like eyes continued to stare at Lei Yuan, and her face was filled with indescribable satisfaction. However, the way she spoke was extremely arrogant.

“I see that you’re quite talented. Then, I’ll reluctantly accept you as my disciple!”

“I refuse.”Lei Yuan declined straightaway.

This loli was not his imagination, but she was genuinely not very bright.

“You actually rejected me?!” The loli widened her eyes in disbelief.

However, before she could say anything more, Lei Yuan abruptly ran off!

“You bastard!”The loli stomped her feet in anger, but her face was flushed red.

…

After eating and drinking his fill, Lei Yuan finally returned to the palace at a leisurely pace. By the time he saw the palace, the sun was already high in the sky.

Lei Yuan had originally intended to return to his room and continue cultivating. However, when he stepped through the palace doors, his sharp ears overheard snatches of a conversation.

“…Visiting foreign emissary… a banquet…”

“…Won’t there be a performance to watch?”

It was human nature to want to join the party. Thus, the curious Lei Yuan immediately turned around and walked excitedly toward the banquet hall.

…

Inside the palace’s banquet hall, Ofia sat in the seat of honor. The smile on her face was still gentle, but it carried the dignity of a superior.

“Ambassador Lotti, in your opinion, what is the best way to promote the development between our two countries?”

Lotti also had a polite smile on her face. She was about to answer when her gaze caught Lei Yuan’s face among the crowd. The words that had been on the tip of her tongue instantly changed.

“If we want our two countries to be more harmonious, the best way is to marry, of course!” As she spoke, Lotti pointed at Lei Yuan. “I want him!”

Lei Yuan was dumbfounded. He had just arrived at the banquet hall and had not seen much of the party yet.

‘I just got here and haven’t done anything, so why is everyone looking at me?’

Ofia did not expect Lotti to say that. The smile on her face froze.

“Ambassador Lotti, you wish to marry Warrior Lei Yuan?”

‘So, that guy is Warrior Lei Yuan?’ Hearing his name, astonishment shone in Lotti’s cat-like eyes. She nodded firmly. “That’s right, I want him!”

After Lei Yuan finally saw Lotti’s appearance, he understood the situation at once.

‘She could not be my master, so now she wants to be my wife? This Lotti is the loli I met earlier!’

After realizing this, Lei Yuan could not help but curse in his heart. ‘This is so weird! Are all the women in this world crazy?One or two of them would talk about marriage at the drop of a hat. Is marriage something that can be brought up at any time?’

Lei Yuan was speechless and immediately rejected her. “I decline.”

He was not interested in getting married whenever he saw a woman.

Lotti did not expect Lei Yuan to reject her so straightforwardly. She had already been rejected once before, and now it was happening again! Tears filled Lotti’s eyes within moments. Then, she pouted and she began to sob!

“Boohoo! You’re bullying me!”

The loli wiped her tears as she whimpered. Lei Yuan completely ignored her. Seeing that Lei Yuan was still indifferent, Lotti cried even louder. The banquet soon became chaotic.

‘What’s going on?’Lei Yuan squeezed his way out of the crowd with an exasperated look on his face.

He just wanted to see what was going on, he really did not want to get married. Why was this little girl suddenly bawling her eyes out? Could he really not afford to provoke her?

Lei Yuan’s previous good mood had disappeared. He could only return to his room and continue cultivating.

When Ofia finally managed to calm Lotti down, she went to Lei Yuan’s room. Coincidentally, Lei Yuan had just finished his cultivation and was playing with the dragon.

“Warrior Lei Yuan, am I disturbing you at this hour?”

Seeing that the person outside the door was Ofia, Lei Yuan’s face flashed with surprise, and he hurriedly went to let her in.

“No, I’m just playing with Draco.”

“You’re playing with the dragon?”As soon as Ofia entered the room, she saw the dragon on the bed gnawing on a spirit crystal. From its obedient appearance, how could anyone tell that this dragon had the potential to kill everyone in the palace? “You’ve taught him well.”

Lei Yuan did not bother to comment.

After closing the door again, Lei Yuan did not stand on ceremony. He hugged the dragon again and pinched its chubby little paws. His tone was indifferent as he spoke. “Your Majesty came at such a late hour. You must have something important to tell me, right?”

Ofia hesitated for a moment, but her tone did not change. “It’s not that important.”

“Is that so?” Lei Yuan did not wish to keep guessing. He looked up at Ofia and directly pointed out her thoughts. “I thought you were worried that I might actually agree to that little girl’s proposal.”

“You guessed it.” This time, Ofia was caught by surprise, and her breathing gradually quickened. “Then, will you agree to her request?”

“Do you want me to agree?” asked Lei Yuan with a quirk of his eyebrow. When Ofia remained silent, he retracted his gaze. “What are you worried about, Your Majesty? Are you worried that I will agree to marry her, or are you worried that after I leave with her, there would be no one here to remove the curse on you?”

It was as if he had dropped a stone into a calm lake, and it stirred up a thousand ripples.

Ofia raised her head abruptly, and her azure blue eyes stared fixedly at Lei Yuan. “You know about the curse? How did you find out? What else do you know?”

Hearing Ofia’s agitated words, Lei Yuan explained tetchily, “Your Majesty, calm down. I heard about the curse when you were talking to your lady-in-waiting the other night. Of course, you needn’t worry. I have not told anyone about this. I’m the only one who knows.”

“I see.”Knowing that Lei Yuan was not a spy from an enemy country, Ofia gradually calmed down.

Since he already knew about the curse, Ofia no longer hid it. A bitter smile appeared on her face as she looked at Lei Yuan with a final hope in her eyes.

“Since you are able to tell me this, does that mean that you have a way to help me solve it?”

Could she really get rid of this nightmare that had plagued her since birth?

Lei Yuan spoke slowly as he met Ofia’s hopeful gaze,”Logically speaking, it’s impossible. However…”

Just as the light in Ofia’s eyes were about to grow dim, Lei Yuan suddenly changed the topic and looked at her with a smile.

“It’s not that I can’t try. If it is possible, I will naturally do my best to help. However, I have one request.”
