Chapter 149: Chapter 149 : Zhang Fengxi’s Resolution
"What baby?"
Zhang Fengxi swallowed hard.
"The... The baby in your belly," he said it like a secret.
Xie Jianyu snapped, "There is no baby in my belly!"
"..."
"..."
"But..." Zhang Fengxi cleared his throat. "I heard it clearly. That wretched demon said that you were going to nourish the baby inside you..."
Xie Jianyu thought that he was about to explode from anger.
"There is no baby inside me! He didn’t touch me!"
Zhang Fengxi was dumbfounded.
"Wait, he did not?"
"No!"
"..."
"Now that you no longer have to be concerned about the non-existent baby, please leave!"
"Wait, then what do you mean when you said that you were going to take care of it?"
"..."
Was Zhang Fengxi stupid?
"Weren’t you here for Liu Wenyuan?"
"Huh?"
"Liu Wenyuan, your betrothed? Because he is being imprisoned at the Golden Dragon Palace again?"
"Ah."
An unnatural coldness settled within Zhang Fengxi’s gaze. Strange. Xie Jianyu almost had the impression that Zhang Fengxi did not care.
Zhang Fengxi rubbed at his aching temples. He let his eyes wander to Xie Jianyu’s flat belly. He would love to run his hands across it, but Xie Jianyu might kill him for his insolence right afterward.
Maybe the First Demon King was referring to a near future, or he was taunting Zhang Fengxi. He had not lain with Xie Jianyu. Xie Jianyu was still pure.
Zhang Fengxi was relieved. And for some inexplicable reason, happy.
"Are you recovering properly?" Zhang Fengxi asked.
Instead of answering, Xie Jianyu stared at him.
"... What is it?"
"Zhang Fengxi, are you for real? Did you not hear what I say about Liu Wenyuan?"
"I heard you loud and clear."
Zhang Fengxi had yet to make a decision regarding Liu Wenyuan.
This was the omega that he loved for two lifetimes.
This was also the cruel person who did not hesitate to throw another under the carriage to save his own skin.
Zhang Fengxi was born and raised in the righteous path.
A demon king should sit on the Dragon Throne before Zhang Fengxi betrayed his roots, his belief.
So what to do with Liu Wenyuan?
The same question was raised as soon as he arrived back home.
Lady Song was especially restless.
"Fengxi, ah!" she exclaimed. "You need to do something! The Golden Dragon Palace arrested Wenyuan again, and this time the accusation makes no sense at all!"
Zhang Fengxi patted Xiao Huang’s body. He refused to comment, so his mother continued talking.
"Wenyuan is just a weak, fragile omega! They accused him of colluding with the First Demon King and kidnapped the Crown Prince!"
Zhang Fengxi gave his mother a sad look. Oh, if only his mother knew what Liu Wenyuan had done.
"Mother, where is Father?"
He did not see Zhang Zhiyuan around.
Lady Song huffed in displeasure.
"That father of yours! So excitable! As soon as he heard that there is a possibility to sire the next heir to the Dragon Throne through the Crown Prince, he went out there to talk to Fenghan’s parents!"
Zhang Fengxi’s gaze hardened. So quick?
The little warmth of spring that spread in his heart after he found out that Xie Jianyu had yet to be claimed by an alpha suddenly disappeared. It was replaced by the bitter frost of winter.
"Excuse me, Mother. I need to talk to Father," he said curtly before he went in the direction of Zhang Fenghan’s residence.
The Longjing Palace was located on the highest plateau of the tiger clan’s territory. It was big enough to house every person in the Zhang family, including Zhang Fenghan and his parents.
The little family resided in a courtyard that was big enough to house three common folk families. It was a worthy residence for a lord and his little family, but the empty rooms left Lord Zhang with a lot to hope for.
A lovely omega and the pitter-patter of tiny feet, for example.
"Fenghan, ah, you are almost twenty-three years old now. Do you have any lovely person in mind to be your wife in the near future?" Zhang Zhiyuan asked with a gentle, fatherly tone.
"Brother, my son is insensible. He does not think about his aging parents. He already gave his heart to the books. If books can transform into an omega, then he might just marry them!" Zhang Zhiyuan’s brother poked fun at his own son.
Zhang Fenghan smiled in response.
"Uncle, I do plan to get married, but unfortunately I have yet to find a proper match."
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded a few times and hummed.
"Due to an unfortunate incident in the Demonic Realm, our beloved Crown Prince has been transformed into an omega. Do you think that the Crown Prince might suit your taste?"
"..."
"..."
"..."
Lord Zhang’s wife was so baffled that she did not notice that the tea she poured was overflowing from the cup.
What an eerie question to ask.
They were talking about Crown Prince Xie Jianyu. He was only the Grand Tutor’s most prized student. He was well-versed in both literature and the six arts. He was the strongest swordsman across three realms. Zhang Fenghan would be stupid if he refused Xie Jianyu.
"I would be honored, Uncle," Zhang Fenghan quickly answered. Next to him, his parents almost jumped to their feet and performed a victory dance.
Lord Zhang exchanged happy glances with his wife. Their son was finally going to take a wife! It wouldn’t be any other omega. It would be the Crown Prince! Their grandson was going to sit on the Dragon Throne!!!
"Perfect," Zhang Zhiyuan patted Zhang Fenghan on the back. "I will put down your name in the proposal from Longjing Palace then. Fenghan, your rivals are all renowned alphas from the other seven palaces. You might want to be prepared."
Zhang Fenghan cupped his hands in front of Zhang Zhiyuan.
"Thank you for Uncle’s support. Fenghan will not disappoint you."
"Unfortunately, you must," a deep voice resounded from some distance away.
Zhang Fenghan, his parents, and Zhang Zhiyuan looked up at the same time in awe.
Zhang Fengxi stood tall with the sunlight as his backdrop, looking like a god.
"Father, please submit my name instead. I wish to ask the Crown Prince for his hand in marriage."
