Chapter 639: Chapter 639
Look, I was summoned by the Heavenly King into the palace.
Jun Xiangyi approached with a lifted skirt to offer her greetings, "Father."
"The Netherworld King has taken the initiative to propose a continued marriage alliance with us. He still has several exceptional sons who are not yet betrothed. Would you like to choose again? Here are their photographs."
The attendant by the Heavenly King’s side delivered the photographs to her. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
She took them and inspected each one; the names and ages were written there.
After looking, she said, "This Seventh Prince, Long Chan, seems good."
"But his father specifically mentioned to me that Long Chan already has twin sons."
Jun Xiangyi frowned, "Sons? Isn’t he not betrothed yet?"
"They are children from his mortal incarnation, and moreover, he is still on good terms with their mother."
"Then forget it, I have no desire to deal with someone else’s mother. If I wanted to be a mother, I’d have my own child." She continued to review the others one by one, and Jun Xiangyi’s gaze eventually settled on Xu Mohan.
"This Third Prince has high cultivation, and his age is also among the eldest, certainly mature. His appearances too suit my taste. Father, I’ll choose him."
Seeing her decision, the Heavenly King said, "His father also mentioned that he hasn’t formally married but does have a human woman, and that woman brought along a daughter born from another man."
Jun Xiangyi regarded the others again, but her eyes ultimately fell back on Xu Mohan, "If he hasn’t married her, it shows he isn’t that concerned. If it really comes to it, she could become a concubine; this I can accept. Father, I choose this Third Prince, Xu Mohan."
"Then let it be him. I think he is indeed outstanding. However, I must still explain to you that once you go to the Netherworld and become a wife, you can no longer act as freely as you did before."
"Daughter understands, I will not let father worry on my account."
The Heavenly King nodded in satisfaction, "Good that you understand."
"It’s just that those three princes from the underworld are truly infuriating. It’s fortunate that Father stood up for his daughter, or else I would never see my parents again."
"It’s good there were no problems. Now that you’ve chosen a suitable husband, go back and prepare for an early marriage."
Jun Xiangyi nodded, "Yes, Father."
When the Heavenly King announced Jun Xiangyi’s choice of Xu Mohan, the Netherworld King was momentarily at a loss for words with his own third son.
He called Xu Mohan and spoke plainly, "The Heavenly King and Goddess Jun Xiangyi have both chosen you."
Xu Mohan looked up, "What does Father mean by this? Does Father not know I already have a beloved? Did Father not mention this to the Heavenly King?"
"I did tell the Heavenly King about your situation and that of Seventh, but since neither of you are married or betrothed or have a legal wife, naturally you would be considered." The Netherworld King hadn’t expected this outcome, "I thought that Goddess would definitely choose one of the others, but even after knowing about your situation, she generously said that Nan Yuesheng could become a concubine. She’s quite magnanimous."
"She may be magnanimous, but how could I subject Sheng’er to becoming a concubine? Moreover, she’s a modern person, not the same as Goddess Jun Xiangyi who has lived for so many ages, through so many dynasties. Sheng’er’s thoughts are different; Goddess Jun Xiangyi may accept, but Sheng’er won’t."
"She won’t accept it? How then can you accept her having children with another man? If you can accept a woman who has children with another man, can’t she accept you? If she really can’t accept it, I have no solution. The wedding date has been set with the Heavenly King: the sixth day of next month. You should also begin preparations sooner."
Xu Mohan understood in his heart; this matter could not be changed.
