Chapter 1256: The Man Deserving of Heavenly Thunderstruck

"Oh?" The Brahma Heaven God Emperor's eyebrows twitched slightly. "Is this true?"

"How could Qianhe dare utter a single false word about a matter concerning my daughter's entire life?" Shui Qianhe said, his face betraying no emotion. "When my daughter and Yun Che set their engagement, friends from the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect were also present; they can all bear witness."

"This..." Mu Huanzhi and the others felt a sudden panic, not knowing how to respond. They were perfectly aware that the so-called "engagement" Shui Qianhe spoke of was merely a temporary delaying tactic Yun Che had desperately concocted. If it were called an engagement... it was actually just a way to reject Shui Meiyin and appease Shui Qianhe's anger. But if they were to say it wasn't an engagement... based purely on the surface meaning of those words... it really was! Moreover, both parties were present, along with their elders... the entire scene was complete.

At this moment, Mu Bingyun stood up and stated gravely, "I, Mu Bingyun of the Snow Song Realm, can bear witness that Realm King Qianhe's words are indeed true. Half a month ago, my sect disciple Yun Che and Princess Meiyin of the Glazed Light Realm developed feelings for each other during battle, pledged their lives to one another, and exchanged engagement vows under the witness of both their elders, agreeing to marry three years from now."

"Bingyun..." Mu Bingyun's words startled Mu Huanzhi and the others. Huo Rulie and Yan Juehai also turned their heads, their faces full of bewilderment.

No one would refuse the Divine Daughter... anyone who married the Divine Daughter would instantly step into the highest heavenly realm. However, Mu Bingyun knew clearly that the person Yun Che desperately longed to see, the one he would do anything to meet in the God Realm, happened to be an irreconcilable enemy of Qianye Ying'er! The Heavenly Wolf Star God, brother of the Heaven Smiting Star God, had died because of Qianye Ying'er—and Yun Che was already aware of this. Therefore, based solely on this point, given Yun Che's temperament and his almost life-transcending devotion to the Heaven Smiting Star God, it was absolutely impossible for him to agree to this.

The Brahma Heaven God Emperor was personally offering his daughter, the Divine Daughter, in marriage—a dream beyond the wildest imagination of countless men in the God Realm, truly the most fantastical gift in this world. The Brahma Heaven God Emperor surely never expected Yun Che to refuse... nor would anyone else believe Yun Che would refuse. But if he refused publicly, the result would undoubtedly be a global uproar, and it would severely damage the prestige of both the Brahma Heaven God Emperor and the Brahma Emperor Divine Daughter... far more seriously than merely refusing to become a direct disciple. Even if the Brahma Heaven God Emperor possessed supreme self-control and showed no surprise, he would certainly be furious internally. And the fact that Shui Qianhe, in his desperation, jumped in to intervene could be used as a mitigating opportunity.

Not only did these words astonish the Snow Song Realm, but even Shui Qianhe was considerably surprised... On that day, he had been filled with rage, his face fierce, wishing he could devour Yun Che alive, forcing Yun Che to concoct the "three-year pact" as a delaying tactic, hoping it would make Shui Meiyin forget Yun Che's existence during her three thousand years in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm... So, for him to now stand up and speak so assertively about it being an engagement, he had truly exhausted his shamelessness. In reality, he was very apprehensive... After all, on one side was the Brahma Emperor God Realm and the Divine Daughter, and on the other, the Glazed Light Realm and its young princess. Which side would the Ice Phoenix Divine Sect be willing to favor? This was simply beyond doubt. Unexpectedly, Mu Bingyun not only admitted to the matter but affirmed it with such certainty that she seemed even more convinced than he was.

"Oh?" The Brahma Heaven God Emperor's gaze shifted slightly, his face completely unperturbed, a faint, unreadable smile playing on his lips. "This King is well aware that the Glazed Light Realm gained a brilliant pearl, whom Realm King Qianhe cherishes as a treasure and dotes upon immensely. Her marriage, a matter concerning her entire life, would surely be treated with the utmost seriousness. How could it be hastily decided when she was barely fifteen years old?""Furthermore, though Yun Che had some renown at the time, it was far from what it is now, and his origins were even more humble. All things considered, he was not even remotely worthy of the Glazed Light Princess. Would Realm King Qianhe truly have assented to this at that time?"

The Brahma Heaven God Emperor's words caused everyone to startle, and then all eyes turned to Shui Qianhe... whose brows twitched, leaving him speechless for a long moment.

The Brahma Heaven God Emperor continued, "If Ying'er were to be engaged to someone, this King would certainly announce it to the world, holding grand celebrations, wishing for everyone to know. As a father, and with a most beloved daughter, it is rather strange for this so-called 'engagement' to appear out of thin air, with no one aware of it."

"..." Shui Qianhe's lips twitched slightly. He had stepped forward in desperation, with no time to consider too much, and had somewhat overlooked that he was facing the most formidable figure in the entire Eastern Divine Region. The Brahma Heaven God Emperor, with a few understated words, had directly exposed countless flaws in his statement.

Not only was Shui Qianhe shocked, but the Snow Song Realm was also completely flustered."Now, the Glazed Light Realm is truly in an embarrassing position," sighed Lu Zhou, the Realm King of the Heaven Covering Realm.

Shui Qianhe was speechless, but Mu Bingyun's icy face remained calm as she slowly said, "Three days ago, after Yun Che's first battle with Young Master Luo Changsheng, his profound energy was exhausted and he was severely injured. Yet, he fully recovered for today's second battle. This was not something my Ice Phoenix Divine Sect could achieve, but rather thanks to the Glazed Light Realm gifting him a drop of 'Primordial Divine Water'..."

Shui Qianhe froze, and everyone's expressions changed.

Shui Yinghen's entire body trembled violently as he stammered in a panic, "Fa-fa-fa-fa-father... it was all my idea... I-I-I-I stole it from my younger sister... it has nothing to do with her..."

Shui Qianhe slowly turned his head, his eyes wide, his gaze terrifying. "Is that true? You... you really gave away... the Primordial Divine Water..."

Shui Yinghen's body went limp, and he immediately knelt, trembling too much to speak. He naturally knew what kind of divine object the Primordial Divine Water was, and even more, what a great disaster this was... If this matter were exposed, Shui Qianhe merely breaking his legs would be a light punishment.

Shui Qianhe slapped Shui Yinghen on the shoulder, exclaiming excitedly, "You gave it well... you gave it well! You useless brat, you've finally done something great... Good son! You gave it well!"

"Huh??" Shui Yinghen looked up, his face utterly bewildered.

"...An unannounced, verbally agreed engagement, yet it could lead the Glazed Light Realm King to not hesitate in bestowing Primordial Divine Water to heal Yun Che." Mu Bingyun continued, "Primordial Divine Water is a chaotic divine object, difficult for even the Glazed Light Realm to obtain in a thousand years. Were it not for the Glazed Light Realm King's profound regard for this engagement, he absolutely would not have given such an immense gift. For this, my Ice Phoenix Divine Sect is deeply grateful. As long as the Glazed Light Realm does not renege, my Ice Phoenix Divine Sect will never violate the engagement with the Glazed Light Princess, nor will we allow Yun Che to violate it; otherwise, it would be ingratitude."

Shui Qianhe: "..."Yun Che: "..."

The Conferred God Stage erupted in an uproar, and everyone's gazes shifted towards Shui Qianhe once more... Primordial Divine Water, a divine object that even Supreme God Masters would risk their lives to acquire! If one obtained a single drop, they would deliberate repeatedly even before giving it to their most outstanding direct kin... how could it possibly be bestowed upon an outsider? Only if Shui Qianhe's most cherished daughter and Yun Che truly had an engagement, and Shui Qianhe acknowledged it as such... would it make sense.

"Oh, so that's it." The Eternal Heaven God Emperor slowly nodded. "Indeed, there is a faint aura of Primordial Divine Water on Yun Che. This King was previously wondering where the Snow Song Realm had obtained Primordial Divine Water; it turns out it was bestowed by the Glazed Light Realm."

Shui Qianhe's expression became solemn. "This drop of Primordial Divine Water was originally intended for my daughter's body tempering, but Yun Che was severely injured and difficult to heal after his battle with Luo Changsheng. Although Primordial Divine Water is precious, since Yun Che has already been acknowledged as my daughter's future husband, there was nothing to be reluctant about."

"Although my daughter was just experiencing her first stirrings of love, she was exceptionally resolute. The scene at the time closely resembled how her mother first met Qianhe, and thus Qianhe could not bear to extinguish it. Furthermore, although Yun Che's origins were humble, Qianhe could see that his potential was immense, and he would undoubtedly far surpass Luo Changsheng in the future. Qianhe genuinely admired and was quite fond of him in his heart, so there was no great thought of rejection."

"..." Yun Che's lips twitched slightly: This old fox's mastery of seizing an opportunity is simply unparalleled; I really have to admit defeat to his shamelessness!

"The reason this matter was not made public was that it was the time of the Conferred God Battle, and we were in the Eternal Heaven God Realm, making it unsuitable to cause more complications. Once the Profound God Convention concludes, Qianhe will make this matter known to the public."

Shui Qianhe's expression was solemn. The Brahma Heaven God Emperor's previous doubts were effortlessly resolved by his few words, and every word carried heartfelt sentiment... it was practically unassailable.

Shui Yinghen dazedly turned his eyes to Shui Yingyue and asked, "Father... has he always been... this kind of person?""..." Shui Yingyue nodded."Gulp"... Shui Yinghen's throat visibly bobbed.

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor nodded slightly. "It seems, then, that the engagement between Yun Che and the Glazed Light Princess is not false, and this Primordial Divine Water can certainly be considered an invaluable token of love. Brahma Heaven God Emperor, what is your view on this matter?"

"Heh heh," the Brahma Heaven God Emperor smiled faintly. "This is naturally a good thing. However, it has no bearing on this King's desire to betroth Ying'er to Yun Che."

"Oh?" The Eternal Heaven God Realm looked sideways.

"Among the esteemed men of the God Realm, who does not have a multitude of wives and concubines? If it were any other woman, this King might feel indignant, but the Glazed Light Princess is indeed worthy of sharing a husband with Ying'er."

As if a sudden peal of thunder had struck, everyone present was instantly stunned. The Brahma Heaven God Emperor's words actually implied consent for Qianye Ying'er and Shui Meiyin to both belong to Yun Che!! To obtain the Divine Daughter, and also have the young Glazed Light Princess... and this was personally permitted by the Brahma Heaven God Emperor himself!!

It must be known that the Dragon Monarch, after marrying the Dragon Queen tens of thousands of years ago, never took a single concubine! Yet Yun Che... his treatment was actually superior to the Dragon Monarch's!

In these years, how many descendants of God Emperors, how many Divine Masters of Royal Realms, even Royal Realm Kings who disdained the very chaos itself, from the Eastern, Western, and Southern Divine Regions, desired the Divine Daughter, only to be softly refused by the Brahma Heaven God Emperor? The Brahma Emperor Divine Daughter herself was even more dismissive, seemingly devoid of emotion... Later, it became incredibly difficult even to catch a glimpse of her true face. But Yun Che was not only directly betrothed to her... he was also explicitly permitted to also have the young Glazed Light Princess.

What was even more infuriating was that the Brahma Emperor Divine Daughter remained as serene as ever, showing not the slightest hint of opposition. All the men on the Conferred God Stage had reddened eyes... the jealousy in their hearts seethed like boundless magma.

The Dragon Monarch married the Dragon Queen... he was the foremost being in chaos, a match made in heaven, so no one could say anything. But Yun Che, with his humble origins from a lower realm, trained by a middle star realm, and currently only at the Divine Spirit Realm cultivation... Why... why indeed!! That Yun Che... he should be struck by lightning!(Struck by lightning? Something seems off there...)

People could barely imagine... how the Divine Sons of Royal Realms, who had risked their dignity and lives yet couldn't even obtain a smile from the Divine Daughter, would become crazed with jealousy and rage upon learning of this.
