A few days had passed since the devastating battle. During these days, wild and exciting gossip started to circulate throughout the continent!
"Did you hear? Xue Duan is giving Princess Yifei to that mysterious alchemist as a wife! Can you believe it?"
"Wife? I heard it was concubine! Also, she had to bear his child within a year at least! That's what my brother said."
"Pfft? Bear his child? Concubine? I heard she must swear a Spirit Oath on the day of the wedding and never see or touch another man again! This is a forced union, plain and simple. But she has to do it because the King is forcing her! How unfair is that?!"
"While that alchemist might be a little skilled, he's only a Lord Alchemist. Is he really worthy of having Princess Yifei as his concubine? I don't think so, especially after hearing what my Aunt said. He's extremely lustful and old, already having at least three thousand concubines so far! She's definitely unwilling to be another number!"
