Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1520: Chapter 346: Chen Jie: Father-in-law, You Really Treat Me Well_2

Chaghan Timur looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Alright, Chen Jiusi, I’ve said everything I need to say. Now you can leave.”

Chen Jie replied, ”Prince, may I speak a few words with Yaya alone?”

Ruyang King looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Hmm, go ahead.”

Ruyang King closed his eyes, saying nothing, with no intention of departing. Chen Jie then looked at Zhao Ya, and Zhao Ya looked back at him.

Their eyes met, and Chen Jie said, ”Yaya, wait for me. I will soon come with an eight-carriage palanquin to marry you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya wiped away her tears and gently nodded.

”Jiusi, I’ll wait for you.”

Zhao Ya said only a simple ”I’ll wait for you,” without any moving words.

But it revealed everything. The last time Zhao Ya said she would wait for him was when sending him out of Longxing Prefecture—back then, their love was clandestine, and the Ruyang King had sent Shadow Assassins to kill Chen Jie.

Now they could openly express their love in front of the Ruyang King.

This was progress indeed, and Chen Jie felt an unprecedented brightness about the future.

As long as one is progressing, fear will not prevail.

Chen Jie and Zhao Ya exchanged a few simple words. Though they had endless sweet words for each other, the Ruyang King’s sullen presence was a spoiler, forcing them into brief exchanges.

Very quickly, they finished talking, and Chen Jie then clasped his hands to the Prince and said, ”Prince, please take care of Yaya.”

The Ruyang King glanced at Chen Jie and said, ”Do I need you to tell me to take care of my daughter?”

Chen Jie said no more, clasping his hands, ”Thank you, Prince. Rest assured, I will definitely bring Yaya in an eight-carriage palanquin to enter through the doors.”

Ruyang King said, ”First, find a way to advance your Martial Arts to the Melt God Realm; you have at most half a year.”

Chen Jie was stunned upon hearing this, and the Ruyang King continued, ”Don’t you think this matter will simply be brushed aside? Seizing the court’s Empress, if not for the court having bigger affairs, armies would soon be marching in.”

”I have no idea what luck you’ve encountered, but precisely now the court has no time to care for you, allowing you to escape this problem.”

”But at most six months, after which you’ll need to address the crisis of looming armies.”

”Do you understand why I can’t let Yaya go with you now?”

Ruyang King stared at Chen Jie, who looked at him in confusion, and the Ruyang King said, ”I don’t want my daughter to become a widow.”

Chen Jie bitterly smiled and said, ”Does the Prince lack faith in me so much?”

Ruyang King replied, ”Provoking the Royal Family, the one who should act is the Treasure Elephant Army. Although I hate to admit it, among the court’s three major armies, the strongest is the Treasure Elephant Army, and its leader Boluo Timur is stronger than me. Even your brother, Peng Yingyu, may not be his match. So, do you think you can survive?”

Chen Jie fell silent upon hearing this, then spoke, ”It’s all up to human effort; maybe I will win?”

The Ruyang King chuckled and replied, ”I hope so, but fortunately, the Treasure Elephant Army currently has other issues, otherwise, you would truly be unable to escape the disaster.”

”Use these six months to get stronger. If you don’t reach the necessary strength, not to mention marrying Yaya, you probably won’t even survive.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie fell silent.

The Ruyang King said, ”Go back and think about how to plan your future path carefully. Don’t let impulsiveness ruin the road ahead of you.”

After these words, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya, who nodded, eyes reddened.

Chen Jie said, ”Prince, Yaya...”

The Ruyang King replied, ”My daughter is under my protection; there’s no need for you to worry.”

Chen Jie nodded and then clasped his hands and left.

Watching Chen Jie leave, Zhao Ya appeared somewhat despondent, her gaze following Chen Jie’s departing figure until he vanished entirely into the night.

”Stop looking. No matter how much you look, you won’t be able to leave with him.”

The Ruyang King spoke, and at his words, Zhao Ya turned her gaze to him.

Ruyang King met her gaze, and after a while, Zhao Ya said, ”Father, thank you.”

The Ruyang King was taken aback, looking at Zhao Ya and saying, ”You don’t hate your father?”

Zhao Ya replied, ”Father, I am not a child. I know how much pressure you’re under by taking the risk of keeping me instead of handing me over to the court.”

As she spoke, Zhao Ya slowly knelt and bowed to the Ruyang King, saying, ”Yaya has caused trouble for Father.”

Looking at Zhao Ya this way, the Ruyang King sighed deeply, ”Ah...”

Rising up, he helped Zhao Ya stand, and by this time, Zhao Ya was already in tears. The Ruyang King gently wiped the tears from her eyes and said, ”Alright, don’t cry, don’t cry.”

”Father, am I really that immature?”

Zhao Ya sobbed as she spoke.

Like a child who had done something wrong.

Watching his daughter cry like this, the Ruyang King felt his heart shatter, sighing bitterly, ”Ah~ it’s Father’s fault, Father shouldn’t have pressured Yaya; actually, that Chen Jiusi isn’t bad.”

Ruyang King spoke as he gazed at Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya was stunned, looking at Ruyang King, who continued, ”Being in the Middle Melting Furnace Realm at twenty, compared to your father who was only in the Rainbow Realm at twenty—you can tell he far exceeds your father in talent.”

”Also, the fact that he could come such a long way, regardless of danger, to save Yaya shows he truly loves you.”

”And besides, he’d rather risk his life than divorce his wife, indicating he values emotions and righteousness, making him a person worthy of entrusting.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya asked, ”Then did father threaten him that if he didn’t divorce his wife, you’d kill him?”

The Ruyang King replied, ”Actually, if he had truly said ’divorce’, he would’ve been dead already. Only by his stubborn refusal to change his mind could he survive this.”
