Since Dai Yun'er and the others used a Soul Guidance Train, they quickly returned to the territory of Xingluo Empire...
Xingluo Empire, imperial palace!
Dai Tianling coughed, his complexion somewhat unwell as he asked, "Has Ling'er returned?"
During this time, something had happened to his health, leaving him extremely weak...
One Daijin respectfully spoke up, "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess should have already reached the territory of Xingluo Empire. She likely won't take long to arrive at the imperial palace!"
Another Daijin reminded, "Your Majesty, your body seems to be quite frail now. Since the Princess has already safely returned to the territory of Xingluo Empire, you should rest well!"
"Indeed, the Princess is certainly important, but your health is the spiritual pillar of the entire Xingluo Empire!"
Upon hearing that Dai Yun'er had safely returned to Xingluo Empire, Dai Tianling's face eased a bit...
Then, he said once more, "I had planned to discuss this matter after some time, but since all the Daijin are suggesting so, I indeed should take some time to rest properly!"
"For the following half year, all affairs of Xingluo Empire will be handled by Yan'er as regent. Do any of you have any objections?"
After speaking, he turned his gaze toward the Daijin below...
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged looks, seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes...
Dai Tianling's words almost certainly confirmed that Dai Yueyan would be the next Emperor of Xingluo Empire!
They spoke one after another, "Although the Crown Prince has been involved in politics from a young age and has decent talent, isn't this somewhat improper?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, entrusting such a heavy responsibility to the Crown Prince, he may not be up to the task!"
"I also disagree. Although the character of the Crown Prince far surpasses his peers, he is ultimately too young and may find it difficult to bear such a burden."
Hearing these words, Dai Tianling's expression did not change...
Following that, he turned to the silent Dai Yueyan and asked, "Yan'er, do you feel capable of taking on this responsibility?"
Dai Yueyan stepped forward, confidently looking down at the Daijin below, and declared, "Father Emperor, I am fit for the task!"
Dai Tianling nodded in satisfaction, "The Daijin must have seen it, Yan'er has absolute confidence in himself. I hope you will all earnestly assist him in managing the Xingluo Empire!"
"Of course, should Yan'er prove inadequate, I will personally strip him of his position as Crown Prince!"
Although it sounded like a threat, Dai Yueyan understood the deeper meaning behind these words!
A feeling of warmth couldn't help but surge in his heart...
The Daijin below also knew that Dai Tianling's decision could not be changed and reluctantly chose to agree...
"I think it's not unacceptable. Let's give the Crown Prince a chance to prove himself!"
"Hmm, if the Crown Prince truly is capable, we will surely support him with all our might. Otherwise, we will need Your Majesty to make the final decision!"
"Given the circumstances, we respect Your Majesty's decision!"
"Very well, Yan'er, do not let down the hopes of me and the Daijin!"
Dai Yueyan bowed, cupping his fist in salute, "Yes, Father Emperor!"
Just then, an imperial soldier walked into the Imperial Palace Great Hall and respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, Her Royal Highness the Princess has arrived!"
The next second, Dai Yun'er, now dressed in royal attire, stepped into the great hall...
Looking up at Dai Tianling, whose appearance had aged somewhat, concern appeared on her face...
Yet she softly called out, "Father Emperor!"
Dai Tianling nodded slightly, "Ling'er, it's good that you have returned safely. Did you suffer any bullying at Shrek Academy?"
Dai Yun'er shook her head, "Father Emperor, no! The Elders and teachers at Shrek Academy are all very serious, they even specially allowed me and Long Yue to participate in the Sea God's Pavilion matchmaking conference!"
The ministers' eyes lit up, surprised they said, "Hiss... Her Royal Highness the Princess actually participated in the Sea God's Matchmaking Event? Isn't that only for the inner court students of Shrek Academy?"
"That's right, I've also heard of this event, even the outer courtyard students of Shrek Academy have no right to participate!"
"It is indeed befitting of our Xingluo Empire's Her Royal Highness the Princess to make Shrek Academy make an exception!"
Dai Tianling praised, "Not bad, but Ling'er, did you find a suitable partner at the Sea God's Matchmaking Event?"
Dai Ling'er's face first flushed with a few shades of red, followed by a look of disappointment...
"Yes... but I was rejected!"
Dai Tianling asked in surprise, "Oh? Who rejected our Xingluo Empire's Princess?"
Although Dai Ling'er's character was somewhat capricious, her overall strength, including her Martial Soul, was not inferior, so she shouldn't have been rejected!
Dai Ling'er bit her lip and hesitated, "Father... all the Daijin are still here! I... I'm embarrassed to say..."
Dai Tianling stroked his beard and chuckled, "Hahaha, that's true. We've already discussed what needed to be discussed today. All ministers, you may leave!"
Upon hearing this, the ministers very sensibly bowed and then left the great hall...
After the ministers had left, Dai Yueyan spoke teasingly, "Little sister, who is the boy that rejected you? Tell me, I'll just go and abduct him over!"
Dai Yun'er rolled her eyes, "It was Elder Xu! Brother, are you sure you want to tie him up and bring him over?"
Dai Yueyan touched his nose awkwardly, "This... let's forget it!"
That Elder Xu, his strength was comparable to that of a Hyper Douluo!
How easy could it be to abduct him over?
Whereas, Dai Tianling's face showed a look of sudden realization, "Elder Xu? If that's the case, it's understandable!"
Dai Yun'er approached and hesitated, "By the way, Father, I noticed as soon as I got back that you look quite unwell and much older. Has something happened?"
It had been less than half a year, and her father seemed like a completely different person!
Dai Tianling waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, just a bit tired from dealing with endless affairs!"
But in fact, there was one thing he had not told anyone!
His body probably wouldn't hold out much longer!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be supporting Dai Yueyan as much as possible while he still sat on the throne!
Dai Yun'er was skeptical of this answer but did not continue to inquire...
...
On the other hand, in the inn!
Tang Wulin spread the map across the table, marking the location of the small island...
He said with a serious expression, "Our current location is quite far from the small island, and sea soul beasts often gather around it. Trying to bypass them will be extremely difficult!"
Xie Xie's mouth twitched, "Wulin, you put it so delicately, but once we leave Northsea City, it's all sea soul beasts' territory!"
Ye Xinglan's Beautiful Eyes tightened, "No... it's not impossible. If we conceal our Soul Power and reduce our speed, we can still cross over!"
Yuanen Yehui pursed her lips, "Hmm, theoretically, yes, but sea soul beasts have a much stronger sense of perception than Land Soul Beasts. Even if we conceal our Soul Power, there's a great chance we will encounter them!"
