Soul Land V: Rebirth of Tang San-Chapter 820 - 819: Sky-breaking City Lord Jin Anguo

The meal consisted of delicious mountain and sea delicacies from the Jiali Mountain Range, and fine wine was also served. Pretty Girl herself doesn’t drink alcohol, but she still toasted Jin Anguo three times to show respect. This completed the initial reception in terms of etiquette.

After lunch, the various Great Demon Kings and Demon Kings were taken to rest. The two City Lords, however, engaged in their first conversation in the assembly hall.

Each side only kept one Great Demon King by their side. For Pretty Girl, it was naturally the princess who accompanied. By the side of Jin Anguo was also a strong figure at the Great Demon King level.

"Thank you for your generous hospitality, City Lord Mei. My coming here on such short notice has also troubled Jiali City," Jin Anguo expressed warmly. At least outwardly, one couldn’t tell that he is the patriarch of a fierce race like the Behemoth Clan. Indeed, not only is he a City Lord, but also a patriarch. The Great Demon Emperor of Sky-breaking does not hold these positions in the clan but has instead passed them to his younger son which shows his affection for him.

In the Behemoth Clan, strength is always highly esteemed. Jin Anguo is not only naturally strong and powerful, but also intelligent, which is indeed rare. Before acquiring the positions of patriarch and City Lord, he did not go through much opposition. All his elder brothers supported him, which is why he is so highly acclaimed in the Tianyu Empire, almost certainly designated as the future heir to the Great Demon Emperor of Sky-breaking, a destined Emperor, not just an Emperor’s Posture!

"You’re too polite," Pretty Girl replied with a courteous smile: "Previously, two Messengers from the Ancestral Court came to inform me of your arrival, and frankly, I was somewhat surprised. After all, I had never visited you before. Yet you made the long journey here to our northeastern lands, which must have been tiring."

Jin Anguo, looking at the stunningly beautiful Pretty Girl and recalling his father’s instructions, his smile deepened, saying, "Our Behemoth Clan has always been quite straightforward. Regarding the purpose of my visit, I’ll speak frankly. If there’s any offense, please forgive me, City Lord Mei."

Pretty Girl’s expression remained unchanged, smiling: "You’re too kind. Please proceed."

Jin Anguo sat up a bit straighter and said, "Previously, my father spoke of City Lord Mei’s distinguished presence during your inauguration, which truly captivated me. At my own inauguration, I relied more on my father’s protection to succeed. You, however, acquired the recognition of the Ancestral Court all by yourself. You are also the fastest in history to be promoted from a Demon King to a Great Demon King, which I deeply admire."

Pretty Girl replied, "I am flattered, I have long heard of City Lord Jin’s fame; you are our role model."

Jin Anguo smiled, "My visit this time is firstly to meet City Lord Mei and also to hope that our Sky-breaking City can establish a friendly relationship with Jiali City. Additionally, I have a personal matter for which I would like to seek your opinion."

Pretty Girl’s interest was piqued, "It should be our first meeting, may I ask what this personal matter is about?"

Jin Anguo said, "Since City Lord Mei has just recently become a Main City Lord, you might not be aware. The Ancestral Court has always stipulated that Main City Lords must quickly have their own offspring to ensure succession. This is connected to the future development of Tianyu Empire. In a sense, our Tianyu Empire’s succession can basically be called hereditary. Just like you succeeded the Peacock Great Demon King, becoming the new leader of the Peacock Demon Clan and successfully taking office as Jiali City Lord. However, you are currently single; have you considered options regarding a spouse?"

Pretty Girl was stunned, actually knowing the purpose of Jin Anguo’s visit, but never expected him to say such words. Her own spouse?

Pretty Girl looked at him with confusion and said, "I don’t understand what City Lord Jin means."

Jin Anguo, with some restraint, said, "It’s like this, when my father saw you during your report, he also believed that you are a very outstanding young man. You are also still single and not yet married. Therefore, our race intends to form a marriage alliance with the nobles. This way, it would be good for both our clans as well as the Peacock Demon Clan. Sky-breaking City and Jiali City will also build the deepest friendship, advancing and retreating together in the future. The White Tiger Great Demon King is your maternal grandfather, and my father is the current Emperor. In the future, we both may hope to become Emperors. Such an alliance, even within the Ancestral Court, will certainly secure a place."

"Sorry, wait a minute." Pretty Girl looked at Jin Anguo with a shocked face, "Do you mean that you came here this time to propose to me?" She could hardly believe her ears. Before today, the Peacock Demon Clan and the Behemoth Clan could be said to have no ties whatsoever, and his stated purpose was quite astonishing!

Jin Anguo no longer beat around the bush and nodded seriously, "That is indeed the case. Although I am already married, if City Lord Mei is willing, the position of the primary spouse will undoubtedly be yours. Our two cities will advance and retreat together in the future."

Pretty Girl took a deep breath to calm herself down, then spoke in a calm yet firm tone, "I’m afraid that won’t be possible. Today is the first time that City Lord Jin and I have met. Marriage is a serious matter and cannot be decided so casually. City Lord Jin, you have come from afar and you will surely be treated well, but this matter makes me embarrassed."

Jin Anguo was nonchalant and said, "There’s no rush. I am just making a proposal. Of course, this is our first meeting, and we do not know each other well enough yet. Recently, there isn’t much happening in Sky-breaking City, so I am willing to stay in Jiali City for a while, to live with you and let you understand more about my situation. We can start by getting to know each other as friends. If in the near future, you think I am a suitable match, we can take a step forward then."

When the Sky-Breaking Great Demon Emperor told Jin Anguo to come here to propose, Jin Anguo naturally resisted. In the Behemoth Clan, he was not only an individual of extraordinary talent, but also a wise one, which allowed him to surpass all his siblings and eventually become the successor to the patriarch. In Sky-breaking City, he is the absolute pride of heaven, and under his rule over the years, he has already become the true ruler of Sky-breaking City, so much so that even the Sky-Breaking Great Demon Emperor wouldn’t easily interfere with his decisions in the clan.

As a favored son of the Behemoth Clan, he naturally already had a wife, as he had mentioned earlier, being a city lord and a patriarch, heritage is a big deal.

But due to his father’s urging and some information, he still came. Yet, the moment Jin Anguo laid eyes on Pretty Girl, he was stunned.

Before coming, he heard more about Pretty Girl’s extraordinary talent and her performance during her report. Additionally, as a mixed-blood of the Peacock Demon and humans, she was not yet twenty years old, making her the youngest Great Demon King in the history of the Ancestral Court. But what truly stunned him upon seeing Pretty Girl was her beautiful appearance.

Pretty Girl was really too pretty, and Jin Anguo was definitely the one in the Behemoth Clan who looked most like a human when transformed. He naturally had a soft spot for human women. Human women are gentle and beautiful, unlike the robust femINITIALS of the Behemoth Clan. In Pretty Girl, he saw almost all the virtues of human women, and moreover, she held such a noble status. The initially indifferent attitude had then gradually changed. Conquering such a woman was indeed a very interesting matter for him, especially considering the benefits it could bring to the Behemoth Clan.

The Demon Race universally acknowledges three strong races: the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Demon Clan, and the Behemoth Clan.

Simply from the perspective of bloodline and strength, the three are relatively equal. However, all three strong races share one common problem - difficulty in giving birth, hence their limited numbers. If these three races possessed the human ability to multiply, then perhaps on the Demon Monster Land, other races would have no say at all.
