"Ha ha ha ha! Host, this Queen Yisha'er is dead set on getting you a Princess!" Xiao Yi laughed gleefully, "In my opinion, that Princess Silet is pretty good. Why don't you just accept her with a bit of compromise?"
"Shut up!" Fang Jueyu was already speechless, thinking the queen was too humble. When he had begged Jiang Yuan so desperately to return, he wasn't this humble. "Doesn't mind one more," is this a normal way for a grandmother to marry off her granddaughter?
Fang Jueyu had barely endured the banquet when the queen specifically arranged for Princess Silet to show him around the Platinum Palace, which looked like a museum. The treasures in the palace were no less spectacular than those in a museum.
After more than an hour of wandering, Princess Silet escorted him to his room. The Princess said nothing along the way, leaving him to wonder what was on her mind.
"Could this Princess have fallen for me at first sight?" Fang Jueyu shamelessly thought.
"Master, Princess Silet is wondering why you treated her so indifferently!" Suddenly, Gu Yi's voice echoed in Fang Jueyu's mind.
"Wha... telepathy?" Fang Jueyu looked at Gu Yi in surprise. Gu Yi was smiling back at him.
"Master, it's just a little trick. Any superpower user who knows how to use spiritual power can do it," Gu Yi explained, "Forgive my interference—I just peeked into the Princess's thoughts."
"Tch, is this woman competing with me?" Fang Jueyu could easily guess why the Princess had such thoughts. A Princess raised with constant admiration had met someone indifferent to her. Her pride alone couldn't tolerate it.
Though Fang Jueyu had spoken euphemistically, it was clearly a rejection of Queen Yisha'er's proposal. To her, it seemed Fang Jueyu believed she wasn't worthy of him!
"Gu Yi, be careful tonight. Don't let her sneak into my room," Fang Jueyu ordered Gu Yi, "A young man away from home must protect himself—entering the Platinum Palace feels like walking into a Spider Demons' lair."
"Ha ha ha, Master, you must be kidding. I have to say, Princess Silet is a rare beauty. Even Mr. Fang Huai has several women. You don't need to hold yourself to societal standards."
"Gu Yi, have you been corrupted by my dad too?" Fang Jueyu glared at him, and Gu Yi instantly fell silent.
"Mr. Fang, your room is here!" Princess Silet stopped in front of a snow-white door, "My room is next door. If you need anything, feel free to ask."
"Need?" Fang Jueyu could tell she expected him to actually seek her for something. If not for Gu Yi, he'd surely be in trouble.
"Master, I'll be staying in the room next to yours." Gu Yi gave a small nod and entered the adjacent room. With his abilities, as long as Fang Jueyu was within a kilometer, he could protect him anytime.
"Mr. Fang, there's a gathering of nobles and tycoons tomorrow night. You can explore in the morning, and I'll escort you to the venue at 4 p.m.," Princess Silet suggested, "If you need a guide, I'd be happy to help."
"Oh, no need. I have a few businesses nearby that I plan to visit, so I won't trouble the Princess." Fang Jueyu had already planned his schedule—the headquarters of Lianhua Group was just a dozen kilometers from the Platinum Palace.
Fang Jueyu had once applied for an internship at Lianhua Group's Huaxia branch but was rejected. He wanted to see what made this company so impressive. Now, he had transformed from a job applicant into the largest shareholder, which was quite intriguing.
"This feels nice!" Fang Jueyu opened the room's door, and the handle felt cold and crystal-like.
"Whoa!" Even though Fang Jueyu had seen many mansions and the interior of private jets, the room's opulence still exceeded his imagination.
The room spanned over four hundred square meters, adorned with golden decorations, gold ornaments, high-end silk curtains, and bedsheets. Most impressively, the toilet was made of pure gold—weren't they afraid of freezing their butts in winter?
Moreover, there was a circular pool around the bed. Didn't they worry about drowning if they got up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom?
"Which idiot designed this room?" Fang Jueyu thought the designer must be wealthy but with terrible taste.
"Host... this was designed by your grandfather, the one who funded the construction of the Platinum Palace."
"Ha ha ha, not bad taste, huh? Look at this—golden statues of Guan Gong and Venus. Truly a unique style!"
Fang Jueyu quickly changed his tune. Who knew if his grandfather was still alive? If Grandpa had a way to communicate with Xiao Yi and Xiao Yi tattled, there could be hell to pay if Grandpa decided to come back from outer space and punish him.
"Every time your family visits England, they stay in this room. Actually, their reactions were similar to yours when they first saw it. If it weren't out of respect for their ancestors, this room would have been demolished!"
"Exactly!" With Xiao Yi's explanation, Fang Jueyu felt bolder, "How much gold did it take to create a room ?"
"About 40 tons of gold, plus countless crystals. Since your family owns a gold mine and gold doesn't depreciate, what's to worry about?"
"That's true!" Fang Jueyu strolled around the room. Though he didn't recognize the paintings on the walls, he figured they were undoubtedly priceless masterpieces.
"Hmm? What's this little room?" Unexpectedly, Fang Jueyu discovered a well-hidden door behind the bathroom.
"This... Host, I suggest you don't go in... It's a bit..." Xiao Yi warned.
"My ancestors really knew how to have fun, huh?" After holding back, Fang Jueyu could only utter such a line.
