"Yes." One by one, the palace servants descended from the palace doors and walked towards the kitchen. In the Southern Kingdom, most palace banquets consisted of six main dishes and two plates of fresh fruits. Although there were not many of them, it was still more than enough for the two people at the table.

The additional dishes were added in the middle of the banquet due to lack of dishes or because the Southern Emperor felt that these dishes were not enough to indicate his welcome to the guests, so in order to prevent the additional dishes from happening, the kitchen staff would prepare additional ingredients during the palace banquet just in case.

"Xie Nan Shang Huang." Xi Yun stood up and said.

As for the Nanshan Emperor, he laughed as he received the gifts from Cheng Mingyang and Wu Wu Wu. Although the first two gifts were a bit worse, they were still rare treasures on the continent.

Although Xi Yun and the other three people all said that they had unintentionally obtained the things in their hands, those with a discerning eyes knew that they had prepared these things in advance. Otherwise, how could they so coincidentally obtain the things that the Southern Champion Emperor needed?

Sometimes, she would even pretend to inadvertently look towards Wang Yang, hoping that Wang Yang would also go over and offer gifts to increase the Emperor's impression of her, but unfortunately, from the beginning to end, Wang Yang had been lazily sitting there, looking at the gifts given by Xi Yun, while she herself had no intentions of giving any gifts at all.

Seeing that Wang Yang did not seem to want to present the gift, Nan Chang'er's eyes darkened, her heart was filled with disappointment, from the moment they reunited, she knew that Wang Yang did not have any sort of sincerity towards her, and hated that she did not have any control over his actions, but she could not do that, if not she really did not know what other means she had to step into Wang Yang's world.

"This time, the Emperor of Nanshan has reaped a great harvest." Han Xiao saw that the Southern Emperor, who was not concealing his happiness in the slightest, was speaking indifferently.

"A middle-grade immortal equipment, a low-grade immortal armor, a ninth grade spirit beast, and a jug of Ten Thousand Year Immortal Aura water. These four items are worth ten billion, but they are nothing compared to the treasures of the Southern Kingdom." Xi Yun said with a faint smile.

"That's right, Nan Chang'er is indeed a rare treasure, but what I didn't expect is that you would actually be interested in Nan Chang'er." Han Xiao said indifferently as he played with the wine cup in his hand.

"No one can resist the charm of the Demon War God" Xi Yun lightly said.

"However, no matter how strong the Demon War God's charm is, I don't think it can compare to the position that Ke'er holds in your heart. Xi Yun, I already knew what you were thinking about Ke'er, so you don't need to be so sloppy." Han Xiao said unhappily.

Hearing Han Xiao mention Xiao Ke'er, Xi Yun's body trembled. The red figure that appeared in his mind smiled gently and said, "You're still as sharp as ever. Sometimes, I really don't know what to say to you."

"Then let's not talk about it anymore. To be honest, Xi Yun, if you are so positive, it might cause others to misunderstand." Han Xiao said with a faint smile, indicating Qi Cheng, who was staring coldly at Xi Yun.

The corners of Qi Cheng's lips curled up into a faint smile as he looked at Qi Cheng, "Qi Cheng is extremely infatuated with Princess Nan Chang'er."

"So, it would be better to mix up the marriage between her and the Southern Kingdom so that no one can marry her." Han Xiao said as he took a sip of his wine.

"I don't have your thoughts. Don't think too badly of me." Xi Yun said with a faint smile.

The current him had already completely removed his usual gentle mask, and his usually gentle eyes were now filled with calculations.

Xi Yun rolled his eyes. Han Xiao turned his head to look in the direction of Nan Chang'er, but he discovered that Nan Chang'er's gaze was fixed on Wang Yang. He could not help but let out a sigh.

He had seen Wang Yang's hatred towards Nan Chang'er in his eyes, and even if Wang Yang did not hate Nan Chang'er, based on his character, he would definitely not be moved by her, so she was destined to give up her heart and soul.

While Han Xiao was lamenting, Qi Cheng stood up once again and bowed towards the Southern Kingdom's Emperor with a smile, "Southern Kingdom's Emperor, this junior has another matter to attend to."

"Emperor of Nanshan, aside from representing the Emperor of Ao Tian in attending the Five Empire Alliance's meeting, this junior is also here to seek the assistance of the Emperor of Nanshan." Xi Yun stood up and interrupted Qi Cheng.

Hearing Xi Yun's voice, Qi Cheng's face flashed with a hint of hatred, and he coldly said, "Prince Xi Yun, your imperial etiquette should be able to teach you what comes first and comes first."

He said apologetically to Qi Cheng's smiling face, "I'm sorry to interrupt you, Crown Prince Qi Cheng, but there's a matter of priority. The things I want to say are very urgent, so I don't need to care about those meaningless etiquette." After speaking, Xi Yun did not care about Qi Cheng. He turned around and cupped his hands towards the Southern Kingdom Emperor and said, "Southern Kingdom's Emperor, would you be willing to help me achieve my wish?"

Seeing the smile on Xi Yun's face, the emperor immediately guessed Xi Yun's intentions. His expression did not change as he said, "Prince Xi Yun, you have yet to say what you wish for. It would not be good for us to come to a conclusion too early."

"This junior's wish is very simple. I hope that the Southern Kingdom will be able to marry the imperial family's gem, the Princess of South Chang'er, to this junior." Xi Yun said with a smile.

Upon hearing Xi Yun's words, Qi Cheng and Nan Chang'er's expressions changed, especially when Nan Chang'er first looked at Wang Yang before she turned around to look at the Southern Palace emperor, with undisguised anxiety in her eyes.

As for the Nanshan Emperor, he lowered his head and thought about the benefits that would be gained by the Southern Ancient Kingdom after marriage. It was true that Xi Yun's current cultivation level was not as high as Nanchang'er's, but Xi Yun's age and talent was still there after all. He was certain that Xi Yun would be able to catch up with her in time, and Xi Yun was the strongest prince of the Five Great Dynasties, the Ao Sky Emperor.

Thinking of this, the emperor's eyes narrowed, as if his heart had been moved.

Seeing that the Southern Emperor was tempted, Qi Cheng hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "Southern Emperor, this junior came this time to ask for Princess Southern Chang'er's hand in marriage. I hope the Southern King can agree."

"Hahahaha, looks like our goal this time is the same. The younger generation of the Emperor of South China also sincerely came to marry Princess Nan Chang'er, and I hope you can agree." Wu said as he stood up.

Seeing that Xi Yun and the other two had stood up and asked to marry Southern Chang'er, Cheng Mingyang slowly stood up with a smile as he placed the cup on the table and said, "Since all of you have the same thoughts, this junior has been admiring Princess Southern Chang'er for a long time. This time, I've come to ask you to marry Princess Southern Chang'er with the most sincere feelings, and I hope that the Emperor will agree."

When he saw that Xi Yun and the other three wanted to marry Nan Chang'er, but he had not expected it to be so quick, he immediately frowned as if he was vexed over who he should agree to marry. In reality, however, he was secretly calculating in his heart who he should marry.

When she saw the plan in the Southern Champion Emperor's eyes, her heart was filled with misery. Her hands were tightly clenched, and her lips were tightly biting the pain in her heart as she swore an oath.

"Your majesty, I think that the four Crown Princes truly want to marry the Second Princess. Why don't we allow the Second Princess to make a choice between the four of them?" The Prime Minister Cao Mengyang stood up and said.

Hearing Cao Mengyang's words, the emperor lowered his head and pondered for a while before saying: "Prime Minister Cao is right, which of the four princes do you like?"

Seeing that the Emperor had given the question to her, Nan Chang'er subconsciously looked in Wang Yang's direction, but seeing that Wang Yang did not care about where she was, a look of injury flashed across her eyes, and she once again raised her head, revealing a charming smile and said: "Royal father, these four princes are all so outstanding, your daughter does not know which is the better choice, why not give the chief a reward during the Five Dynasty Alliance Meeting like this, your daughter is unwilling to use herself as a reward, whoever can win the head's daughter will marry."

Hearing Nan Chang'er's words, Qi Cheng once again felt hope burning in his heart. He looked at Nan Chang'er with undisguised passion.

On the other hand, Cheng Mingyang and Wu Shi Wu also had fighting spirit written all over their faces. Their gazes towards South Chang'er were filled with possessiveness.

Seeing that they were all eager to give it a try, the Southern Summer Emperor smirked and nodded, "Alright, let's do as Chang'er says. I will marry Chang'er to whoever can become the champion."
