Chapter 903: Chapter 904: Quarrel

"I guess we’ll see," Gladys whispered, her head lowered. She always harbored worries about such matters, and perhaps they wouldn’t vanish until the moment of truth was unveiled.

Glancing at Feng Yuan, Lanadi smiled and said,

"So, am I actually the lucky one? At least I already know there’s no chance so I can give up."

Shaking her head, Gladys, leaning on the railing and looking up at the night sky, said,

"You were never that obsessed in the first place. Compared to Thousand Stars, he’s not that important to you, is he?"

"What are you guys talking about?"

He Nanqing asked, somewhat confused. She was curious; were they discussing something special? Lanadi playfully smacked He Nanqing on the shoulder and laughed,

"Of course, we’re talking about princes. Haven’t you ever thought about it? What your future prince might be like?"

At Lanadi’s words, He Nanqing blushed, shyly looking down and said,

"No, I... I’ve always been too busy with the stronghold’s affairs to think about such things."

"Oh—too busy to think about it, huh? Haha, that’s quite amusing."

"And you? Have you thought about it?"

Gladys teasingly wrapped her arms around Feng Yuan’s neck and whispered in his ear. Pushing her away speechlessly, Feng Yuan said with some resignation,

"Where would I get a prince charming? That’s not my style."

"What prince charming? What does your ideal princess look like?"

Gladys asked, smiling and fixing her gaze on Feng Yuan. Lanadi’s interest was piqued, and she couldn’t help but listen intently, while He Nanqing fidgeted uncomfortably with her head down, not expecting the conversation to suddenly veer into such personal territory.

"A princess?"

A somewhat blurry face appeared in Feng Yuan’s mind, and after a moment, he shook his head and sighed,

"I’ve met her, but then I missed the chance."

"Huh? You’ve met her? Why did you miss the chance? Did she not like you?"

Gladys asked, surprised. Lanadi came over, pulled her back, and shook his head,

"Let it be."

Seeing that Feng Yuan seemed reluctant to reminisce, Gladys apologized,

"Sorry, I was just a little puzzled, but..."

Seeing even a strong person like Feng Yuan had this attitude, she suddenly worried about her own future, feeling unsettled. Feng Yuan shook his head, leaned on the railing, and looked up at the sky,

"It’s nothing, just a case of fate without destiny. Besides, she and I might not be the best match after all."

"Have you never thought about trying again?"

Gladys asked, not understanding. Feng Yuan, smiling, reached out and gently petted Xiao Ji, who was approaching as if wanting to comfort him, and whispered softly,

"There’s no need, and sometimes, one missed opportunity is forever. At that time, there was no other choice; otherwise, there would have been no hope at all."

With a self-deprecating smile, Feng Yuan looked at Gladys and said,

"Speaking of which, what you’ve always wanted to know wasn’t about the person who saved you back then, was it?"

"Can’t it be? The prince saved the princess, and she pledged herself to him. How romantic is that?"

"Aren’t you afraid that was a wolf in prince’s clothing? But it’s impressive that you could wait so long."

Feng Yuan commented admiringly; he could never do such a thing—because of a small incident in childhood, to develop such a long-lasting fondness for that person.

"A wolf? I’m not afraid of wolves, and besides, is it really okay for you to portray your teacher that way?"

Gladys asked with a laugh. Feng Yuan shrugged and said helplessly,

"I’m not making anything up, just giving an example. As for what Mr. Yan is really like, I don’t know, but from what I’ve seen so far, he just seems like an ordinary, honest person."

"Oh? And you’re not afraid I’m a villain?"

Gladys teased, striking a sultry pose and winking. Feng Yuan rolled his eyes and responded dryly,

"How would that concern me? Am I supposed to worry about that?"

"Okay, at a time like this, let’s not talk about that."

Lanadi said with some resignation as she stopped Gladys, and the four of them chatted leisurely on the terrace while sipping fruit wine until late into the night before they returned to their own rooms to rest.

"I didn’t expect that she’d give so much in the end."

As he took out the commemorative gifts given by He Nanqing from Agunas’s temporary space storage, Feng Yuan said somewhat helplessly while repackaging those items. Lanadi, somewhat amused, said,

"It seems these are gifts that other strongholds usually give to them, but some of these items don’t seem so easy to take with us."

Looking at the pile of gifts that resembled a small mountain, Lanadi spoke with a hint of helplessness. After thinking it over, Feng Yuan suggested,

"Why not just mail them back?"

"Forget it. I’ll just get a few large space bags from her to carry them with us."

Lanadi shook her head and refused. Feng Yuan looked around with a puzzled expression and asked,

"What’s she up to? Why is she nowhere to be seen?"

"Writing the messages for the gifts. But what I didn’t expect is that she actually has so many friends. She never mentioned them before."

Lanadi said somewhat contentedly. Veronia pulled out a golden crystal accessory and handed it to Lanadi, saying,

"Since he forgot to prepare a gift for you, I’ll reluctantly step in."

"This..."

Scratching his head, Feng Yuan looked at Veronia with a radiant smile, not sure what to give Lanadi, as he certainly didn’t want to cause any misunderstanding. With a slight smile, Lanadi said,

"Thanks a lot then."

"This must be quite precious to you, right? Are you sure it’s okay?"

Shaking her head, Veronia said,

"This is just an accessory given to maidservants, nothing valuable."

Lanadi was taken aback, and, looking at the jewelry in her hand, she felt it was a little delicate. Feng Yuan rubbed his temples with some resignation and said,

"There’s no need to be so blunt about it. Besides, even if it was ordinary jewelry from those days, it would be worth quite a bit now, given that relics from the Mythical Era have been mostly destroyed, with hardly anything left."

"It’s just old stuff from the past, I really don’t understand how you humans think."

Agunas said with some disdain. Veronia, glancing at Agunas who was holding his head high with pride, said,

"At least better than a certain Little Crocodile that doesn’t have any old relics~"

"What’s this? You want to fight again?!"

Agunas glared at Veronia and said fiercely. Veronia looked at him scornfully and said,

"What’s wrong? You think you won yesterday? If Gitalien hadn’t come over to warn us, do you think it would have ended in a draw?"

Holding his forehead, Feng Yuan wasn’t sure what to say. Last night they had indeed created a grand fireworks display above Fire Stronghold, their brilliant ultimate moves lighting up the night sky and startling Gitalien, who was resting.

As a result, even Feng Yuan had been reprimanded by Gitalien, as it was true that he hadn’t stopped the fight between Veronia and Agunas, which led to the disruption of the Starry Sky barrier.

Moreover, the ruckus they caused had not only alerted Gitalien, but also the monitoring department of Great Xia, due to the breach of the world barrier of the Starry Sky. This resulted in the defense team dispatching a squad in the middle of the night to check the situation.

After all, the situation in Fire Stronghold was quite special; any accident there could destroy the entire Cha Mu region, so they had to handle it with caution.

"You two, if you’re going to fight next time, can you please not break through the Starry Sky again?"

Feng Yuan said helplessly to Veronia and Agunas, who were bickering. He couldn’t understand why they, both Divine Beasts from the Mythical Era, couldn’t see eye to eye. Veronia glanced at Feng Yuan and, with a proud look, said to Agunas,

"This time, for his sake, I’ll let you off, Little Crocodile!"

"You think I’m afraid of you?!"

"Alright, alright, that’s enough."

Agunas and Veronia exchanged glances and snorted before turning their heads away from each other. Xiao Ji looked at Agunas and Veronia, not quite understanding what was going on.

Perched on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, Little Ice Cream yawned, seeming a bit tired. Feng Yuan took out his phone and said,

"I’ll talk to Yang Hongzhi and see if he can give us The Star of Brilliance now, if it’s convenient."

"Sorry to trouble you."

Lanadi said with a smile. That item was a rather rare material; if Feng Yuan could help get it, that would obviously be great.
