Peerless Divine Doctor

Chapter 1608: Chapter 1609: The Little Fox’s Background

This engagement banquet was not lacking in nobility heirs. Although these young nobles were not qualified to approach Ye Luo directly, their presence was undeniable!

Among these individuals, regardless of gender, most had mocked Chen Siqi. Yet when Chen Siqi appeared, she was so beautiful that they doubted their own eyes!

Only a few people knew the inside story, but those looking for trouble were never in short supply. So at this moment, someone loudly said, ”Family Head Chen, this is rather unfair of you. The Emperor’s marriage decree was for your fourth daughter, the young lady of the Chen Family. Having someone impersonate her is tantamount to fraud against the Emperor!”

Whether it was Ye Luo or other shrewd individuals, they all turned their heads. Someone had been secretly plotting at the palace gate, and now there were still those daring to stick their necks out—clearly courting death!

However, as this was a joyous event, no one would lose their temper now. Some issues could wait to be settled after the engagement was concluded.

The Chen Family Head smiled and stepped forward, ”Haha, you all might not know, but this is indeed my daughter. I, Chen, have just this one daughter, no substitutions, nor would I dare deceive the Emperor. My daughter was plagued by a strange ailment since childhood, her body covered with unsightly patterns, but thanks to the skilled healing of my virtuous son-in-law, her ailment was cured, and her true appearance restored!”

So that’s how it was; once again, everyone turned their heads!

Ye Luo turned out to be a Pill Master?

Thinking back to when Ye Luo gifted Xiaoyao King the Immortal Artifact Nine Dragons Cauldron, which was indeed used for refining elixirs!

This led many to believe in their hearts!

And amidst that group of young people, many secretly regretted!

Given the Chen Family’s status, there were countless who wanted to curry favor. Naturally, some nobles had attempted to persuade their sons to marry the Chen Family’s unattractive daughter, but to no avail; they simply couldn’t accept it!

Those who had mocked Chen Siqi, whether male or female, now all wore expressions of shame. Compared to Chen Siqi’s beauty, they paled in comparison!

Chen Siqi’s skin was exceptionally good; among the three daughters, she was considered the most beautiful!

Unfortunately, no one had noticed before!

Ye Luo didn’t pay any attention to the gossip. He walked over directly, pulling out three rings from his hand—very ordinary rings, nothing special, but they represented Ye Luo’s sincerity.

Because on Earth, using wedding rings for marriage was the most common and reasonable practice, so Ye Luo took out these three unremarkable rings according to Earth’s customs!

For the three women, it didn’t matter what Ye Luo gave. Chen Siqi, in particular, was already enamored with Ye Luo. Without him, she might have been an unattractive girl her whole life. It was Ye Luo who gave her the appearance she had today; if not to marry him, then who?

As for Ling Xue, she had long been following Ye Luo. Presently, she was simply going through the motions with the other two women.

Nevertheless, it was quite unexpected for Li Muxin to marry Ye Luo.

Even Ye Luo himself didn’t know why Li Muxin made this decision.

Was it pressure from the Emperor of Great Tang?

Impossible, because the Emperor of Great Tang would never pressure Li Muxin. The only explanation was that Li Muxin agreed herself.

Of course, Ye Luo wouldn’t ask about it now; from this day forward, these three women were his. He could inquire later!

The rest was straightforward—eating, drinking, chatting, and making connections, not unlike any other banquet.

Except that wherever Ye Luo went, he was accompanied by three women.

The engagement banquet ended hastily, but Ye Luo had no time even to continue chatting with the three women because he had to return to the Demon Clan side as soon as possible.

Ye Luo left the Imperial Palace and rushed back to his residence at the fastest speed, giving instructions to Nalan Rou once again before going off to find the little fox!

Recently, Ye Luo had not kept the little fox by his side, leaving her to be cared for by Nalan Rou and Lu Yi.

This wasn’t because Ye Luo didn’t trust the little fox, but one could never predict the enemy’s methods.

Perhaps, even if the little fox did not speak, the enemy could extract what they wanted from her.

Therefore, soon after leaving the inn with the little fox, Ye Luo had arranged for her separation. She was unaware of Ye Luo’s actions in the Imperial Capital, only knowing he had matters to attend to, leaving her behind.

Moreover, although Nalan Rou and Lu Yi took care of the little fox, they did not do so personally but assigned others to look after her secretly, locating her in an inn somewhere in the Imperial Capital.

Having found the little fox, Ye Luo transformed into the Third Prince of the Demon Clan, as if recent events had nothing to do with him!

”Your Highness, you finally returned; I’ve been so bored here.”

The little fox smiled joyfully upon seeing Ye Luo’s return.

Ye Luo also smiled slightly, ”Didn’t I sneak away to watch the fun? Did you not go? The wedding of a Human Race princess was quite the spectacle!”

Ye Luo spoke without blushing, as if it wasn’t his own engagement.

Of course, this was a necessary act. The truth would eventually be revealed to the little fox, but not now.

”Come on, let’s return to the inn. We’ve sneaked out, so they must be worried!”

”Ok, Your Highness, are you hiding from Princess Yu? I heard from the guards that Princess Yu was coming, so you slipped away!”

The little fox innocently asked Ye Luo.

This question reminded Ye Luo that when he sneaked out initially, it was as if the little fox had preemptively waited for him outside the inn—it intrigued Ye Luo for a long time.

”Right, I haven’t asked you yet. How did you know I was going to sneak out, already waiting outside the inn for me?”

Ye Luo asked the little fox, who smiled slightly and said, ”I certainly knew. Back home, His Highness always avoided Princess Yu. My sister often told me about it and said that Princess Yu was once so upset she cried!”

Hmm?

Hold on, these words...

It seemed the little fox’s background wasn’t simple!

Ye Luo had never inquired about her, but now it appeared the little fox might be from the Da Yue Empire, and probably of noble origin!

”By the way, little fox, I’ve never asked you before—what’s your name, and how did you end up captured there?”

The little fox naturally understood what ”there” meant, as she was the only other person besides Ye Luo to emerge from the Immortal Domain without being brainwashed!
