"It seems there is indeed a need to meet the people of Rou Country. With their support, my grand plan to dominate can be completed even more quickly."

After some thought, Wang Zhifan agreed to consider this so-called marriage alliance, as it aligned with his interests.

"Then I shall send someone to inform the Rou Country princess to enter the palace."

The elderly minister, seeing Wang Zhifan's assent, had a flash of joy in his eyes and hurriedly set his old legs in motion to carry out the task.

"Oh boy... Why do I smell a hint of matchmaking?"

Wang Zhifan detected a familiar feeling in the manner of the old man's hasty departure, yet he also felt it was somewhat reasonable.

The reason lies in the fact that the Feng Country Royal Family, as seen by others, was now reduced to him as the sole scion. The original royal family of Feng Country had long perished in disaster. If he did not expand his lineage soon, Feng Country would inevitably fall into others' hands.

"Could it be that Rou Country is aware of this, hence sending a princess directly for a gamble? Recently, it's not unheard of for small countries to send beauties to me, but those women have only accompanied me during lonely nights a dozen times. They are destined to exist merely as commodities in this world and have little chance of reaching a higher level."

Wang Zhifan was not devoid of normal desires; it was just that he usually spent so much time cultivating that it gave others that impression. Yet this scenario had persisted for half a year already, and during this period, he undoubtedly had certain needs, so he did have some companions. However, these beauties held low status in this world, unable to stand out due to this world's culture and customs.

After pondering these issues for a while, Wang Zhifan continued with his cultivation until an attendant reported that the princess from Rou Country had arrived.

To show respect to the ally, he quickly concluded his cultivation and met the princess who had traveled across oceans and continents in a side chamber.

She was a tall, slender girl over one meter seventy, around seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in an exotic white silk garment and adorned with a large, round hat inlaid with various gemstones. Beneath the hat was a youthful face with refined, flawless features, and within her delicate clothes was a body remarkably developed for her age. Her large, bright black eyes matched with her light wheat-colored healthy complexion made her exude boundless vitality, her nobility tinged with a natural wildness.

Surrounding her, a dozen or so black-clad female guards stood with slightly tense expressions. Each of these maids was a uniquely stunning beauty, yet her temperament and appearance were unmatchable by them.

"So, you are the King of Feng Country? You don't seem that impressive..."

Upon first meeting, the princess showed an outgoing nature matching her appearance, taking off her large hat to reveal long black hair, inspecting Wang Zhifan from head to toe without much fear of his status.

"Haha... Princess, looks alone are not enough. The true measure of strength is revealed only in practice."

Wang Zhifan felt that these women might leave him lonely tonight, so his words carried a hint of implication.

"Oh, really? Then prove it to this princess! I've heard you're the strongest man in the world! Only the strongest can win this princess's favor! Are you willing to duel with this princess?"

The woman then assumed a poised attitude, ready for action, while her white silk garment slightly expanded under a mysterious force, causing her to float about a dozen centimeters upward, indicating she possessed not insignificant power.

"Your Highness, please stop! You must not show disrespect to the King of Feng Country!"

A sword-bearing maid beside the princess, noticing the scene, hurried forward to pull down the princess, whose actions seemed a bit detached from reality.

"No matter, I also wish to experience the strength from Rou Country."

Wang Zhifan waved his hand, indicating he didn't mind, even finding some interest in this peculiar princess.

"I accept your challenge, Princess. You may go first!"

He then told the poised Rou Country princess.

"Then I'll begin! All of you, step back!"

The princess immediately instructed her female guards to retreat. Her aura further ascended, and light blue glows started circulating around her body, like slender blue dragons dancing around her.

"Heh! Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Fist!"

She then shouted clearly, and with a punch sent through the air towards Wang Zhifan, the blue lights swirling around her condensed into a pale blue fist shadow the size of a water jar, swiftly charging toward Wang Zhifan's body.

"The name of the boxing technique is nice... It looks impressive... But it's slightly lacking in power..."

Throughout the process, Wang Zhifan meticulously sensed this curious princess's energy flow, finding her power level commendable—one of the strongest NPCs he had encountered, except for that old man Shenfengzi. However, this power was only formidable compared to other natives of this world; to his strength, this woman's level was insufficient to breach his defense.

Boom!

In a mild tremor of the grand hall, the water-jar-sized pale blue fist shadow struck before Wang Zhifan, yet seemingly unable to cause any harm or effect, dissipating completely into air a few centimeters in front of him, forming rings of trembling airwaves.

"What kind of cultivation technique is this? Why couldn't my fist hit you?"

The Rou Country princess was somewhat surprised at this strange occurrence, as she believed herself to have used seventy percent of her power, yet she couldn't land a hit on her opponent; the fist shadow was dispersed in midair by him.

"You want to know? That's a secret. I'll tell you in private later."

Wang Zhifan then responded with a mysterious smile.

The situation was simple; he had seldom actively used the exceptional Biological Force Field ability of a transcendent sublimator, preventing the fist shadow from rebounding and instead actively shattering it.

This was primarily to consider the safety of those present and to more decisively secure a victory, deterring the highly motivated princess.

"Very well! This princess admits you are strong! This time you win!"

To Wang Zhifan's slight surprise, the peculiar girl didn't continue to trouble him; instead, she ended her offensive after one exchange, acknowledging Wang Zhifan as a potential suitor.

"That was refreshingly straightforward... Indeed quite exotic..."

Wang Zhifan found it amusing as he had interacted with reserved, demure women during the nights in this world, but this Rou Country princess was entirely different; her personality was far from her country's name.

"But such a matter is too deliberate... Is that old man unconcerned whether I see through it, or was this all part of his plan..."

Given the current situation, saying that this princess came for a marriage alliance without Shenfengzi's maneuvers behind the scenes would be unbelievable to Wang Zhifan. It was clear they had a purpose in mind, and he had to consider it carefully.

"He also foresaw future situations that led him to use this plan? While also satisfying Rou Country's desires... For me, it seems not too adverse..."

In a flash, Wang Zhifan contemplated many things, determining that the situation was not as simple as it seemed; someone had intentionally facilitated it. Yet, he lacked practical reasons to reject such a scenario since he intended to leave something in this world and now had a lead.

"Haha... To discuss the essence of cultivation techniques with the princess, it's my greatest honor... You may stay here in the palace for now, and I'll have everything arranged."

Wang Zhifan concluded by addressing these NPCs.
