Chapter 140 Stars Falling and Solidifying into Sugar Slowly 20

King Li had just thought about the matter of the crown princess. Yetan and the goddess Tianfei were sisters, and they had an inseparable relationship.

He would not allow the next crown prince to have any connection with the gods. He would find a suitable candidate for Wu Dai in Shenyuan.

Wu Dai could not have imagined that King Li had thought so far and was willing to find a suitable princess for him in Chenyuan.

He immediately refused and said, "Father, I already have someone I like and I don't want to marry anyone else."

King Li frowned. No wonder Wudai kept trying to refuse. It turned out to be all for a woman. He was a little angry that the next crown prince of Shenyuan was so sentimental.

"You actually disobeyed me for a woman?"

Wu Dai hurriedly explained, "No, father, I just don't want to marry someone I don't like."

King Li wanted to punish Wu Dai, but he thought that Wu Dai was the only capable son now, and he couldn't let this son become alienated. So he compromised and said, "In that case, you can take her into your room after you marry the crown prince."

"Can……"

"Okay, stop talking. I've made up my mind. You just need to know that I'm doing this for your own good."

King Li didn't want to say any more and sent Wudai, who was hesitant to speak, out.

Wu Dai let out a long sigh. He originally came back to get some information, but he didn't expect to get himself involved. How could he explain this to Man Man?

Because his own problem had not been solved yet, Wudai had no time to care about Chaofeng who was imprisoned in the Soul-Entangled Cave.

He wanted to go and explain things slowly, so that he wouldn't be misunderstood by the news coming from Shen Yuan one day.

Unfortunately, he was stopped as soon as he reached the entrance of Shenyuan. The guard said that he had received an order from King Li not to let the prince leave Shenyuan.

Now, Wudai was a little confused about how to explain to Manman why he couldn't get out.

He returned to the military tent dejectedly, and only then did he remember to ask Chaofeng and Qingkui who were imprisoned in the Soul-Entangled Cave.

The subordinate immediately told him everything about how Concubine Xue came back to plead for Chaofeng.

Concubine Xue knew King Li very well, and with just a few words she convinced him to release Chaofeng and Qingkui.

Queen Li was very dissatisfied with King Li's breaking of promise to her and left angrily.

Upon learning that Chaofeng and Qingkui had safely left the Soul-Entangled Cave, Wudai breathed a sigh of relief but also became worried about himself.

Not to mention Wudai, even Chaofeng and Qingkui's faces changed when they learned that Wudai became the crown prince.

They all remembered that Qingkui's current identity was the crown princess of Shenyuan.

Now that the crown prince has been decided, is it still a long way before he gets married?

Chaofeng didn't want to watch Qingkui marry Wudai, especially since he and Qingkui had simply bowed to heaven and earth and became husband and wife in the Soul-Entangled Cave.

After discussing it, the two decided to elope.

Just after Wudai became the crown prince, King Li planned to hold a ceremony for Wudai to succeed him as the crown prince.

Chaofeng decided to find an opportunity to leave Chenyuan on that day. Before that, Chaofeng entrusted the scout camp to Garuda. With the protection of Garuda, the holy maiden of the snake clan, he didn't have to worry about the safety of the scout camp.

Garuda also learned that the two were planning to elope.

She had learned earlier that Chaofeng had been given a poison by the queen that restricted his cultivation, and that he had lost all his magical powers after the poison took effect.

Worried that Qingkui and Chaofeng would run into danger and Chaofeng would lose all his power to protect her, he secretly took out the antidote from the clan and gave it to Chaofeng, who would be able to recover after taking it for three hours.

Garuda did this to repay Qingkui for helping her restore her appearance. In addition, Chaofeng had entrusted the scout camp to her, and now there was no one around to protect them.

If Chaofeng recovered his strength, their actions would be more secure.

With the antidote that can restore magic power, everything is ready. They will just wait for the day when Wudai becomes the crown prince, and then they will escape from the abyss.

The news of Wu Dai's succession to the throne spread to the beast world, and Man Man finally figured out why Wu Dai did not come back at the agreed time. Although he didn't want to believe it, Man Man waited for Wu Dai for a long time and came to Shen Yuan on the day of the ceremony.

The succession ceremony began, and Wudai saw Manman in the crowd.

He wanted to go through the crowd to hug her and explain, but out of concern for King Li and Queen Li who were sitting at the top, Wu Dai forced himself not to go over.

When he turned around to face King Li, the man behind him slowly lowered his head in disappointment and smiled bitterly.

He clearly told her that he didn't want to be the crown prince and just wanted to stay with her in the beast world and live a peaceful life.

But he changed his mind after returning to Chenyuan.

Man Man became very disappointed with Wu Dai, and she turned around and left the hall, suppressing her heartache.

Wudai, who had his back turned to her, did not notice her leaving.

Wudai was successfully named the crown prince. When he bowed to salute, he glanced in the direction where Manman was standing, but saw no one.

He stood up and looked back, but could not find the figure anywhere.

Queen Li, who was sitting above, didn't notice Wudai's abnormality at all. In order to maintain her own status, she arranged the marriage between her own saint Garuda and Wudai in front of many spectators.

She considered that if Garuda became the next Queen of the Abyss, her status as Garuda's clan mother would still be transcendent.

King Li glanced at Garuda below and saw that she had a pretty face and was of the same clan as the queen. He was very satisfied with the queen's matchmaking and was about to issue an edict to grant the marriage.

Wu Dai immediately refused regardless of everything, "Father, I have already told you that I have someone I love, why are you still forcing me? If becoming the crown prince means I have to marry someone I don't like, then I don't want to be the crown prince anymore."

After saying that, he turned and ran out, hoping to find someone to explain everything slowly.

"I'll go after my brother!" Chaofeng didn't expect to see such a good show before leaving. Seeing Wudai running away, he hurriedly dragged Qingkui out to chase after him, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

After Wu Dai and his companions left, the hall was in an uproar.

King Li was very embarrassed when Wu Dai rejected him without hesitation, so he ordered the people who had escaped to be captured.

Wudai ran for a long distance but didn't see Manman. He followed the token to look for Manman's trace, but saw the storage bag that Manman always wore in the corner of the garden.

Wudai picked up the storage bag and used his spiritual sense to explore it, and found that it contained not only the token he gave to Manman, but also the protective magic weapons he had given to her before.

After leaving the hall, Man Man was so sad that he threw all the things related to Wu Dai here.

Soon, Wu Dai, who was standing in the garden with the storage bag in his hand, was found by the guards. At the same time, the guards found Chao Feng and Qing Kui who were waiting for an opportunity to escape.

Chaofeng, who had recovered his strength, quickly escaped from the abyss with Qingkui and reunited with Xuefei Sushui who had been sent out by Gu Haichao earlier.

King Li looked at the dazed Wudai who was brought back, and listened to the guards say that Chaofeng had escaped with Qingkui, and Concubine Xue had long disappeared.

When the queen heard that Chaofeng defeated the guards and escaped with Qingkui, she glared at Garuda, knowing that she could no longer be trusted.

She began to encourage King Li to capture them back.

King Li also felt that he was being played by Chaofeng, and in anger he ordered people to go out and capture him.

Wu Dai came to his senses and asked King Li to take back his order, "Father, since Chao Feng and the others don't want to stay in Shenyuan, please let them go."
