Chapter 1084: Will Only be Her!

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

Tongshen Palace was deadly silent. At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and time seemed to stop.

Everyone thought that they had misheard something. What did Dugu Yue say to His Grace just now? This child… is his… The person she’s looking for is His Grace?!

If I don’t speak now, that person will take action. Rong Xiu coughed. “I’ve never married before. Why would I have a child?”

The crowd was as though struck by lightning. Everyone present was dazed, and many people couldn’t recover their senses for a long while. He admitted it… He’s admitting it?! His Highness is saying that he’s the one that Dugu Yue is looking for—her fiancé?!

“Your Highness!” Jiang Zhiyuan couldn’t maintain her elegant, gentle, and aristocratic appearance. Her face flushed white, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. “Your Highness, do you know what you’re talking about?!”

“Of course.” Rong Xiu’s gaze lightened, and he glanced at her. “Big Missy Jiang, you seemed to have forgotten your identity.”

Jiang Zhiyuan’s heart ached, and her face was fiery. She was so humiliated that she wanted to find a hole to stuff herself in!

Seeing that she was in a difficult spot, Jiang Hetian couldn’t help but ask, “Your Highness, what do you mean? Dugu Yue—”

“Tam the fiancé that Yue’er talked about earlier on,” interrupted Rong Xiu honestly and directly. “Therefore, I can testify to whatever she said previously.”

As he spoke, he looked at Lou Ruhai, who had his eyes wide open and mouth agape. “I wonder if I have the right to be that witness?”

Lou Ruhai’s face flushed white! How could this be… How could this be?! Didn’t they previously say that Dugu Yue’s fiancé was just a mere guard in the Sky-Cloud Empire? Why did he suddenly change to become His Grace?!

But even though he didn’t want to believe it, he knew that this was a fact! His Highness personally said it. How could it be fake?

Thinking of the series of incidents that took place after they came—no matter if it were Yan Qing’s respectful and careful attitude, the first-row seats, and 36 Respected Elder Ming’s closeness… All of them testified to this!

Previously, we just found it weird. Thinking about it now, everything was already foreshadowing this! Lou Ruhai’s entire body turned icy cold. Without thinking, he knew what kind of formidable character he had offended!

At this moment, he felt very regretful and finally knew why that woman always looked calm and composed—not only did she have a backer, but that backer was even the most formidable one in the entire Sky-Cloud Empire!

“I-1…” Lou Ruhais lips trembled, and his old face harshly shook, but he still couldn’t say anything.

“Since the contest has already ended and the results are out, Yue’er will be the Princess Consort then—”

“Hold on!” Before Rong Xiu could finish his sentence, a thick and burly voice came from outside the palace.

Hearing this familiar voice, 36 Respected Elder Ming—who was originally smiling—was suddenly dazed as he glanced at Rong Xiu.

A dim light flashed across Rong Xiu’s eyes.

The crowd gradually looked outside. Then, a few figures rapidly flew in from outside!

Those people were extremely fast. Before the crowd could even see their footsteps, they had already entered the palace!

The person at the front had white hair, and his cheeks were slim. He wore a long, gray robe, and his surrounding aura was formidably strong!

The two people behind weren’t any weaker!

They came over in a rush and were slightly dirty as if they had hurried over from outside.

After the few of them entered, the suppression they brought along caused the surrounding people to keep quiet instinctively.

Quite a few people looked fearful and respectful.

Jiang Hetian saw the incoming person and immediately cupped his fists. “Respected Elder Yu Jing, Respected Elder Jing Chen, Respected Elder Shi Kaiyan!”

Quite a few people were secretly shocked. It turns out that these few people are also the Sky-Cloud Empire’s respected elders!

The crowd bowed respectively.

Elder Yu Jing—who was at the front—waved his hands and stared straight at Rong Xiu. He openly said, “Your Highness, this Dugu Yue can’t be the princess consort!”

Rong Xiu’s expression didn’t change, and his lips even curled up slightly. “Respected elders, you’ve come from far away, and it must’ve been hard on you. I’ll decide who is going to be my princess consort. I won’t trouble you with it.”

Yu Jing’s voice was cold and stiff. “Although the clan leader is in seclusion, the Sky-Cloud Empire is under His Highness’s control, and everything should be decided by His Highness now, I hope you will listen to us about the choosing of your princess consort.”

Then, he looked at Chu Liuyue and knitted his brows. “How can someone from outside the God Residence Realm be the princess consort?”

Rong Xiu said lightly, “Yue’er and I have known each other before, and we already have a marriage agreement. However, I was later too busy with matters on this end, so I couldn’t bring her back in time. This time, she took first place in the contest to choose the princess consort. Officially and personally,

she is the best choice for the position of princess consort. Besides, I’ve already said it. Respected elders, if you are so against it, do you want me to go back on my word?”

“Your Highness, you’ve misunderstood! We’re also doing this in consideration for Your Highness and the future of the entire Sky-Cloud Empire!” Yu Jing’s attitude was very stubborn. “Your Highness, if you really like her, you can make her your second consort. This would be an absolute honor to her, but

she has no right to take on the position of princess consort!”

Rong Xiu’s thin lips curled up slightly, and there seemed to be light flashing past the depths of his eyes.. As if a god was deciding, he said carefully, “In my entire life, I will only marry one person as my wife, and this person will only be her!”
