Ling Zhenfei was stunned: "You mean Miss Mao likes me?"

"Yes, otherwise with my sister's character, would I dare to be so sure about this? Please, Brother Ling, just marry my sister."

Ling Zhenfei was extremely shocked: "This doesn't seem right, let me think about it."

"Brother Ling, there's nothing to think about in this matter. Well, let me be frank with you: my sister likes you, that's one thing, but we also want to become relatives with you. Do you know why? It's all because of Gu Feng, isn't it?"

"Our strength is too weak right now, after defeating Song Mingyi tomorrow, our strength will be even weaker. By then, Gu Feng might overshadow us, he might even make a move against us.

If you marry my sister, we're family, and you're sworn brothers with Gu Feng, he'd at least have some concerns."

Ling Zhenfei's thoughts were right; Mao Sharlu indeed worried about Gu Feng, thus came up with such a plan. This idea, certainly, was ingeniously thought out.

You could say it's a method that achieves maximum impact without bloodshed, preserving the Mao Family's imperial status without doing anything.

Ling Zhenfei said: "From what I know of Gu Feng, he shouldn't do something like that. I'm quite confident in him."

Mao Sharlu said: "Now that it's been openly discussed, I won't hide it any longer. All of this is my sister's idea; she proposed it, and I've asked her, she truly likes you, that's no lie."

Ling Zhenfei recalled what Mao Xuejing had told him, indeed, there was such an implication, but it was a bit too sudden.

Mao Sharlu saw Ling Zhenfei still hesitating and said: "Beauty loves heroes, it's human nature. Heroes love beauty, that's human nature too. It's a win-win situation, beneficial to everyone."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said: "I'd still prefer to talk to Miss Mao directly and clarify."

Mao Sharlu grabbed Ling Zhenfei's arm saying: "Brother, you can't delay in this matter. Time is limited, from the fact that someone tried to kill me, it's clear Song Mingyi is at the end of his rope.

Based on what I know of Song Mingyi, if he had any real aces left, he wouldn't attempt to kill me, so I believe this battle will be victorious, therefore this matter must be settled quickly.

And at the crucial moment, disclose it to Gu Feng, just ensure he doesn't do anything drastic, as long as things don't break down."

Ling Zhenfei asked curiously: "Why do you feel so strongly that Gu Feng might be disloyal? I don't see Gu Feng as that kind of person."

Mao Sharlu laughed and said: "It's the throne, Brother Ling, no matter how much power I have, it's the Emperor's seat. It's the dream of so many people."

Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly and said: "Is the throne that good? I see your role as Emperor is not that impressive, you don't wield much power."

Mao Sharlu laughed, but the meaning behind his smile was something only he understood.

Mao Sharlu said: "What I've said is true; these things don't need to be lied about."

Ling Zhenfei said: "So you're planning to use me as a shield, but if the throne is that crucial, what difference does it make if I marry Miss Mao?"

Mao Sharlu said: "I believe you hold great importance to Gu Feng. Though you're just one person, you fully have the ability to take down a commander in an army of millions."

Ling Zhenfei felt helpless and said: "This really puts me in a difficult position."

Mao Sharlu said: "Why are you troubled? You don't need to do a thing and you'll get a wife, moreover a princess; what is there to think about."

Ling Zhenfei said: "But I already have a wife."

Mao Sharlu said: "My sister doesn't demand to be the only one you marry. In Moergawa, as long as both parties agree, you can marry as many wives as you want."

Honestly, the temptation is huge; to marry a princess freely and to have no limit on the number of wives, who'd believe it? Only in a place like Moergawa.

Ling Zhenfei said: "No, I still need to ask Miss Mao first."

Mao Sharlu glanced at his watch and said: "Gu Feng should be arriving soon, call my sister, I'll go meet Gu Feng."

After speaking, Mao Sharlu left, Ling Zhenfei thought for a while and then dialed Mao Xuejing's number.

Mao Xuejing was currently guarding the Imperial City, in case someone attempted to attack during the night. Although it was already late, the moment Ling Zhenfei called, Mao Xuejing answered promptly.

"Big Brother Ling, why are you calling me so late?" Mao Xuejing's voice was very calm in the quiet night.

Ling Zhenfei hesitated slightly and asked: "Your brother told me something earlier, I want to ask you about it."

Mao Xuejing seemed a bit shy, saying: "My brother already told you, what do you think?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "Do I have a choice?"

Mao Xuejing laughed softly and said: "What is there to choose about this; is marrying me so difficult? I'm a princess, give a princess some respect, won't you?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "I wanted to ask if you want to marry me because of considerations with Gu Feng?"

Mao Xuejing paused and said: "Ling Zhenfei, how can you think that way? Do you have no confidence in yourself? When you saved us at sea, my heart was already set on you.

I once promised to marry a hero of our times, so I vowed back then to marry you. Now, I'm just telling you a bit earlier than expected.

While marrying myself off can have some political benefits, isn't that even better? Or do you not like me?"

Ling Zhenfei was a bit speechless at Mao Xuejing's words and said: "It's not that I don't like you, but it's all happening too quickly, and you know I have a girlfriend."

Mao Xuejing said: "What does it matter? In Moergawa, men aren't restricted to just one wife. Ordinary men can have two, officials can have many, so as long as you're capable, you can marry as many as you want."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Doesn't it bother you?"

Mao Xuejing said: "Every woman cares, but I care more about you as a person. How many women you have around doesn't concern me."

Growing up in Moergawa, Mao Xuejing was used to men having many wives and didn't feel any discomfort about it.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Everything seems perfect, but the time we've known each other is really short. Getting married in such a short time is hardly believable."

Mao Xuejing said: "Feelings can be cultivated gradually; after the war, I'll ask my brother for a piece of land or maybe an island, and we'll settle there."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I can't deny that your words have moved me; such a life sounds too wonderful to imagine."
