Douluo:Elf Descends, I Am the Creator God

It was then that Xue Ye remembered the main matter at hand.

After sitting back down, he continued his questioning.

"Qinghe, you've been in charge of matters concerning Elf Crown. Do you know what his recent plans are?"

"And what about Ice Crown and Fire Crown? How much do you know about them?"

"Do you know their preferences? Particularly Fire Crown—is he single?"

Clearly, apart from Elf Crown Yunxiao, Xue Ye had now set his sights on Huo Wulu.

As the saying goes, heroes (or the strong) deserve beauties.

Coincidentally, he had a daughter in the bloom of youth—Xue Ke.

Not only was she exceptionally beautiful, elegant, and serene, but she was also sweet and charming.

Having been born as a princess of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and trained in noble etiquette at the Moon Pavilion for years, her temperament and bearing were both noble and refined.

But why was Xue Ye only targeting Yunxiao and Huo Wulu?

Why wasn't he considering Shui Wuyou, the Ice Douluo Crown?

Naturally, it was because while heroes (the strong) could be matched with beauties, a beauty of immense power would never be paired with a weakling, a wastrel, or—even worse—an old man.

Let alone someone as formidable as Ice Douluo Crown.

Who among the male members of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family could possibly qualify?

Emperor Xue Ye himself, Prince Xue Xing, Crown Prince "Xue Qinghe," and the Fourth Prince Xue Beng.

Two old men, a weakling of a Crown Prince, and a wastrel of a prince.

With such a lineup, did they really think they could marry the Ice Douluo Crown, who possessed eight black and one red Soul Rings?

Xue Ye was self-aware enough to know better.

Upon hearing Xue Ye's questions, "Xue Qinghe" pretended to ponder for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Your Majesty, Elf Crown has told me that the empire possesses the most prosperous trade routes and the most fertile lands on the Douluo Continent."

"Thus, he wishes to settle within the empire and lead the Elf Clan to prosperity."

"As for Su Xiaoli, from what I've learned, she has not only joined the Elf Clan but also undergone Martial Soul evolution."

"Moreover, Elf Crown has expressed interest in having me interact with Su Xiaoli."

"Regarding Ice Crown and Fire Crown, I currently know little."

"But from what Elf Crown has shared, both of them are still single."

When it came to Shui Wuyou and Huo Wulu, Qian Renxue naturally knew the truth.

Did they really think they could marry the immensely powerful Ice Douluo Crown?

She could only scoff at the idea.

Not just the Heaven Dou Imperial Family—even Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or Yu Yuanzhen, the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, none of them had what it took.

Whether in terms of innate talent, strength, or the foundation of their clans and sects, Shui Wuyou completely outclassed the so-called Upper Three Sects.

So why would she ever marry down?

Why subject herself to the ridiculous rules of some clan, sect, or imperial family?

Wouldn't it be better to find someone she liked, pursue love freely, or even take in a son-in-law—remaining the master of her own destiny?

It must be known that her Elf Clan had always been small in number.

Rather than letting Shui Wu You marry outside and benefit others for nothing,

Wouldn't it be better to keep things within and simply choose to become sisters with Shui Wu You?

Hmm, of course, the kind of sisters who both marry Yunxiao.

Since she could arrange for Su Xiaoli to be Yunxiao's bed warmer,

Then she could naturally also choose to become sisters with Shui Wu You.

Of course, such matters

Were still just thoughts in her mind for now.

Later, she would find an opportunity to ask Shui Wu You.

If Shui Wu You didn't object, then this matter would be settled.

As for Yunxiao's thoughts and opinions?

That wasn't important.

Could she not understand that old lecher Yunxiao?

Would he really be uninterested in a cold and aloof beauty like Shui Wu You?

After all, Shui Wu You's long legs

Were even more perfect and longer than her own.

"Oh, Elf Crown."

"He wants to settle down within the empire and develop the Elf Clan?"

"Also, Su Xiaoli's Martial Soul has evolved?"

"Not only that, but Elf Crown intends for you to interact with Su Xiaoli?"

"And, the Fire Douluo Crown is still single?"

Hearing this string of good news, Xue Ye's eyes immediately lit up.

If he wanted Xue Ke to marry into the Elf Clan,

There might still be some possibility of failure.

But having the Elf Clan settle within the borders of the Heaven Dou Empire?

For him, this was as easy as lifting a finger.

Their Heaven Dou imperial family indeed had no Titled Douluo-level experts.

However, the empire's territory had plenty of fiefs to spare.

Moreover, Elf Crown also intended to engage in deep cooperative exchanges with their Heaven Dou imperial family.

"Hehe, Qinghe, since Elf Crown wishes to develop his clan,"

"Then grant them the land of the Frozen Forest within the Heaven Dou Mountain Range,"

"And bestow it upon the Elf Clan as their fief."

The Heaven Dou Mountain Range was a massive range that spanned the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

Just like his Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy,

And the Heaven Dou Royal Army's training grounds—all were located within this mountain range.

As for the Frozen Forest, its name alone made it clear—

It was a small Soul Beast forest maintained by the Heaven Dou Empire,

Populated entirely by ice-attribute Soul Beasts of the hundred- and thousand-year levels.

Since their Heaven Dou imperial family had no use for this Soul Beast forest, he might as well generously grant it away.

And how large was a small Soul Beast forest?

Its area was comparable to several cities combined.

But even so,

If he wanted to fully bind the entire Elf Clan to the Heaven Dou Empire's war chariot,

Xue Ye knew in his heart that this was far from enough.

"Qinghe, when the time comes, retrieve the empire's treasure, the Oceanic Sky Cover, from the treasury and find an opportunity to gift it to Elf Crown."

"If possible, first find a chance to ask Elf Crown—"

"This emperor wishes to appoint Elf Crown as the Heaven Dou Empire's State Preceptor."

"Furthermore, I intend to confer upon Elf Crown the title of Co-Equal King."

"His title shall be Elf King."

"He may address this emperor as a brother and stand as my equal."

In order to win over Yunxiao, the Elf Crown, and the entire Elf Clan,

Emperor Xue Ye was going all-in.

Not only was he breaking the thousand-year iron rule that "only those of the Heaven Dou imperial Xue Family's bloodline may be granted the title of king,"

He was even willing to address Yunxiao as a brother and treat him as an equal.

If not for his concern that Elf Crown might disagree and cause some awkward misunderstanding,

he would have immediately proclaimed it to the world, letting all factions across the continent know

that Emperor Xue Ye was going all-in.

Not only was he preparing to have the crown prince, "Xue Qinghe," marry Su Xiaoli as the crown princess,

but he also intended to wed his most beloved little princess, Xue Ke, into the Elf Clan for an alliance.
