Chapter 336

As Lin Zaozao watched the little spirits around her silently enjoying themselves, Ye Xi sidled up to her and teased her.

"Zaozao, aren't these two brothers of mine quite handsome?"

Ye Xi shoved Han Ye aside and put her face close to Lin Zaozao's ear, laughing softly.

"Handsome, incredibly good-looking. Oh my! Their cute little faces, they are just too handsome."

Lin Zaozao praised them wholeheartedly.

"So Zaozao, would you like to take these two useless brothers of mine as your playmates?"

"Hmm?"

Lin Zaozao turned her head to meet Ye Xi's serious gaze, her face full of confusion.

"Princess Ye Xi, your two brothers are princes. Are you suggesting they stay by my side as playmates? You must be joking!"

"Zaozao, I'm serious."

Ye Xi reached out and gently stroked Lin Zaozao's fluffy hair, then turned her gaze to Han Ye.

"Prince Han Ye, I'm willing to represent an alliance between Canglan Country and Han Country. The condition is for Ye Yi and Ye Nuo to stay by Zaozao's side as her study companions."

Meeting Ye Xi's limpid eyes, so similar to Ye Nuo's, Han Ye lowered his gaze for a moment, then turned to glance at Xi Luo, who was nonchalantly eating grapes at that moment.

Seeing no reaction from him, Han Ye simply agreed.

"Only the two of them can come, and they can't bring any attendants. Also, they can't stay in Zaozao's Priest Hall, and they must not have any overly intimate contact with Zaozao in daily life."

"Fine," Ye Xi readily agreed.

"Princess Ye Xi, if Zaozao is to be the next Priest of our Han Country, then as the Crown Princess of Canglan, you would be the next Priest of Canglan.

I don't understand, Canglan and Han Country have been at odds for over a decade. Today, you secretly brought your two brothers to make peace. What is your intention?

Could it be that those eyes of yours that can see the past and present lives have seen something?"

Faced with Han Ye's questioning, Ye Xi calmly nodded.

"Yes! Nuo and I have seen some things. As for what we've seen, Prince Han Ye knows that Nuo and I cannot say.

If we reveal unknown events to more than one person, we would each lose a year of our lifespan. If everyone in the world knew about future events, then Nuo and I wouldn't need to live anymore and would turn to ashes."

"Does Prince Ye Yi also know about the events that will happen in the future?"

Han Ye asked coldly.

"Yes, I know." Ye Yi looked at Lin Zaozao and said gently, "As a condition of this deal, may I ask if any of you would harm Zaozao?"

In response to Han Ye's questioning, Ye Yi and Ye Nuo turned their heads and said solemnly, "Prince Han Ye, Nuo and I can swear that if we ever harm Zaozao, may we live forever in loneliness and never find peace in death."

Hearing Ye Yi and Ye Nuo's solemn vow, Han Ye could only agree despite his doubts.

She really hadn't expected the seemingly gentle Ye Xi to have such a foul mouth when insulting others.

Wow, she was truly amazing.

She was simply Lin Zaozao's idol!

Meeting Lin Zaozao's starry-eyed gaze, Ye Xi changed expressions in a second, reverting to the gentle Princess Ye Xi.

She stroked Lin Zaozao's face tenderly, and upon seeing Lin Zaozao's feet wrapped up like dumplings, she turned to Han Ye and said:

"Princess Ye Xi, I have brought the 100,000 bushels of grain and 100,000 taels of gold that Lord Han Ye requested. As a gesture of goodwill from Canglan Country to seek cooperation, I have brought an equal amount of grain and gold.

Now, you can have that despicable Wolf Priest remove the curse from Ruo Qiu!"

After Ye Xi finished speaking, she directed everyone's gaze towards Xi Luo. When Xi Luo met Ye Xi's lapis lazuli eyes, he couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

What a pair of lapis lazuli eyes capable of seeing one's past and present lives! In Canglan Country, there were actually two pairs of such heavenly eyes.

After learning of their futures, their expressions remained so composed.

Indeed, after Princess Ye Xi saw him, what was there that she didn't understand?

This woman Ye Xi, if she were a little more coldhearted, how could Han Ye be her match?

Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, Xi Luo walked over to Ruo Qiu's side and calmly said, "Ruo Qiu, before I remove your curse, let me tell you something first. After I've said it, you can decide for yourself whether you want the curse removed or not."

"Wolf Priest..."

"Hmm!"

Meeting Xi Luo's eyes that could see into one's heart, Ruo Qiu said apprehensively, "Xi Luo, what do you want to tell me?"

"Ruo Qiu, no matter this life or the next, your kinship bonds will be extremely sparse. If you don't want to grow old alone, you will definitely not live past twenty-five years old.

Moreover, in your short twenty-five years, you will suffer betrayal from your closest kin, and in the end, you can only meet a miserable fate.

If you want to change your destiny, I cannot change your current life, but I will change your next life.

At the very least, I can ensure that in your next life, you will have an adorable child, a devoted wife, and a happy family."

Xi Luo's words caused Ruo Qiu's expression to freeze. He turned his head, looking at Ye Nuo's impassive face, as if seeking an answer from him.

When Ruo Qiu saw Ye Nuo nod, his expression turned ugly.

How could this be? In this life, due to his handsome looks and exceptional business acumen, he had achieved fame at a young age.

Countless people wished to be related to him through marriage. Moreover, he had family members who loved him dearly.

His grandfather, father, uncles, brothers, and sisters...

He had so many close blood relatives, how could he possibly grow old alone? They loved him so much, how could they possibly betray him?

But the Wolf Priest's prophecy and Lord Ye Nuo's eyes compelled him to believe it.

Could it be? In this life, was he truly destined to grow old alone?
