Urban Super Medical Sage-Chapter 680 - 674: The Beautiful Princess (5 more)

However, asking the Seventh Princess to wait for a while was, to others, even more excessive than a direct refusal—it was an insult!!!

Atop the main platform, even the breath of the Xuanfeng Emperor had become somewhat unstable.

He stared at Su Chen intently, extremely dangerous and irritable, as if he were about to attack at any moment. Inside the great hall, an oppressive silence had fallen, and many Martial Cultivators were so frightened they didn’t dare to raise their heads.

When an emperor is angered, corpses burn for thousands of miles!

Almost all the Martial Cultivators were thinking, "This is someone who is asking for death by not knowing when to accept face given."

"Your Majesty, please hold back your anger for now," Consort Yun said with a smile, seated beside the Xuanfeng Emperor on the main platform.

"Why?" asked the Xuanfeng Emperor in a heavily laden tone. Though he had lowered his voice, it still carried a vast oppressive force.

"Why, out of all the talented men present, did our daughter only take a fancy to Su Chen?" Consort Yun smiled: "Don’t you think that Su Chen is very different? Others may not have heard, but you and I should have heard that it was the girl named Qin Li beside him who invited him first. According to convention, Xuan’er came afterwards."

"But she is my daughter, your daughter, a princess!" The Xuanfeng Emperor’s aura had receded somewhat, but the rage in his heart was still churning.

"That’s exactly where his excellence lies; his arrogance is ingrained in his bones. From his reprimand of the Sixth Prince, one can tell that he is so proud that he doesn’t reverence the Royal Family, and for this very reason, he didn’t just refuse Xuan’er," Consort Yun continued with a smile. "Such profound and inherent pride is very rare."

"If pride is overdone, it turns into arrogance, and that can be lethal. Does he even have the right to be so proud?" The Xuanfeng Emperor’s presence shrank back a bit more.

"That’s why you should hold back your anger for now. Let’s continue to watch, shall we?" Consort Yun smiled gently: "If he truly is just conceited, it won’t be too late for you to get angry then."

The Xuanfeng Emperor finally completely retracted his aura and narrowed his eyes, maintaining a calm appearance.

Meanwhile, the Seventh Princess bit her lip, staring intently at Su Chen: "Is it really... really not because you do not wish to dance with me?"

"Not at all!" Su Chen smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. It would be a great, great honor to dance with you."

"Good, then I will wait for you!" said the Seventh Princess after a moment of silence.

What?

The Seventh Princess is going to wait?!

The word ’wait’ from the Seventh Princess, when uttered, caused the already silent Tianhe Hall to feel as if it froze over!!!

How much must the Seventh Princess favor and like Su Chen for her to make such a statement?

For the lofty Seventh Princess to take the initiative to invite Su Chen was shocking enough, but for him to shock her even further was an endless shock within an endless shock. Under these circumstances, to not be angry? Not to exert her princessly authority?

Logically speaking, the Seventh Princess should be furiously ordering Su Chen out of the Tianhe Hall or even commanding his execution.

Who could have imagined...

Incredible.

It was too incredible.

Even Su Chen himself trembled in his mind, just as surprised. To be honest, by asking the Seventh Princess to wait, he had already braced himself for her anger and wrath, and perhaps even worse outcomes.

After all, he had directly rebuffed the Seventh Princess in front of everyone, which was extremely cruel to a girl, especially the most favored princess of the empire.

So, even if the Seventh Princess were furious, even to the point of wanting to kill him, he could understand.

"Seventh Princess, you... ah!" Su Chen gave a wry smile, not knowing what to say; then, he took Qin Li’s little hand: "Li Er, let’s dance!"

"I... I... I..." Qin Li, to tell the truth, was also greatly shocked, touched, and full of admiration, admiring the bravery of the Seventh Princess, a courage she couldn’t muster herself.

"Enough, let’s say no more, let’s dance." Su Chen pulled Qin Li into his arms and whispered softly, murmuring in her ear: "Li Er, you are truly beautiful, especially last night."

"You big jerk." Qin Li’s delicate body shuddered, almost falling into Su Chen’s arms, her breath quickening—last night... last night... novelbuddy.cσ๓

Su Chen looked both indulgent and mischievously amused as he spoke. He wanted Qin Li to stop overthinking things.

Under everyone’s gaze, Su Chen wrapped his arms around Qin Li and danced.

Their dancing was not considered good, but not a single person laughed.

"Su Chen, I’ve really fallen for you!" the Seventh Princess stared at Su Chen, watching his intimate dance with Qin Li, and murmured to herself, her beautiful eyes brimming with deep emotion.

She had genuinely been moved at that moment when Su Chen had refused to dance with her first, putting Qin Li before her.

This man was truly different from others.

Fearless, disregarding status and wealth, honoring only his own heart.

She was really fond of and fascinated by this temperament, by this demeanor.

"But you really are a bastard," the Seventh Princess hummed softly again, "This is the first time in my life that I’ve been so embarrassed."

Time ticked by, second by second.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had passed.

Su Chen and Qin Li finished their dance.

Qin Li was very happy, truly happy. During the short time it took for an incense stick to burn, though she did not interact much with Su Chen, she could feel warmth, happiness, and security—as if with Su Chen by her side, even if she were to face the whole world as an enemy, she would not be afraid.

That peace that came from deep within, flowing like water, extending endlessly, was as calm and clear as a sunny day.

Throughout the process, not a single word was spoken in the great hall, no one felt rushed, and they all just watched Su Chen and Qin Li from the start of their dance to the end.

After finishing a dance with Qin Li, Su Chen walked towards the Seventh Princess. Stopping in front of her, he slightly bowed and said, "Beautiful princess, may I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?"

"He’s very good," Consort Yun suddenly nodded in satisfaction from the main stage. At that moment, Su Chen lowered his stance quite a bit, no longer waiting for his daughter to take the initiative, but rather, he took the first step, which was very good.

Pride is not rudeness.

Having principles is not the same as being harsh.

Su Chen had a very good grasp of the situation.

The Xuanfeng Emperor also nodded slightly. However, Su Chen’s current initiative could only slightly shift his opinion; Su Chen’s subsequent performance and proof were what mattered most.

"Humph, I’m really not happy. I really want to reject you!" the Seventh Princess was pleased as well, the attitude Su Chen displayed at the moment made her feel warm. She pouted, almost whimpering in a spoiled tone.

"Beautiful princess, could you bear to?" Su Chen asked with a smile.

"Out of pity for you," the Seventh Princess rolled her eyes at Su Chen and then raised a delicate hand.

Su Chen caught hold of the Seventh Princess’s hand, and in an instant, she was clearly nervous, unused to being held by a man—it was her first time ever. Obviously, a blush spread across her fair collarbone.

Su Chen then wrapped his arm around the slender waist of the Seventh Princess, which felt rather warm.

Hand in hand, arm around waist, the two of them pressed tightly together.

Su Chen’s heartbeat sped up involuntarily. Up close, the Seventh Princess was incredibly beautiful, so beautiful that he could hardly control his state of mind, especially with her faint, entrancing fragrance wafting into his nostrils, adding an element of intimacy.

In fact, the Seventh Princess was even more affected than Su Chen. Her mind went blank with nervousness and shyness. Being held by Su Chen like this, she felt as though she were lying in his arms, especially under the watchful eyes of so many.

"Let’s begin!" Su Chen said softly.

The Seventh Princess’s delicate body trembled again as Su Chen’s breath fell on her neck, sending a sensation through her like an electric current.

"Yes," the Seventh Princess suppressed her shyness and nodded lightly.
