I never expected Emperor Xuankong to actually consider engaging a princess, and to let Li Cheng choose at that.
This is a being so transcendent as to be in the Divine Emperor Realm, how could this be?
Li Cheng declined without hesitation, but diplomatically.
"Discuss it in the future?" Emperor Xuankong pondered, apparently considering something.
Li Cheng had a full head of black lines, don't get any strange ideas!
He coughed lightly and Li Cheng added, "Your Majesty, with my current level of cultivation, living from day to day, if I truly were to find a companion, how would I have the capacity to protect her? So let's talk about it after my cultivation is higher, shall we?"
Emperor Xuankong smiled, "I have a daughter in the Divine King Realm, she can protect you!"
Is this some kind of... good fortune?
No way, wouldn't that make me a kept man?
"Just kidding, let's talk about it in the future!"
