They had been kneeling here for nearly half an hour, but Xia Feng had yet to appear.
With the presence of the Ten Martial Sovereigns, the Ten Top Grade Saint Masters dared not make any rash moves.
Finally, after an hour, Xia Feng appeared.
He walked towards them from outside the gates of the Emperor's Son's Qingxin Hall, holding an apple.
Upon seeing Xia Feng, the Ten Martial Sovereigns of the Lingxiao Pavilion immediately knelt on one knee, fists on the ground, and spoke in unison.
"Greetings, Lord Emperor's Son!"
At this shout, the Ten Top Grade Saint Masters immediately felt dizzy, unable to gather their wits.
But having seen many grand scenes, they too bowed towards Xia Feng.
"Greetings, Lord Emperor's Son!"
Xia Feng, without any pretensions, gestured for the Ten Martial Sovereigns to rise.
He then walked over to the Ten Top Grade Sacred Land Masters and circled around them.
As Xia Feng approached, these Ten Top Grade Sacred Land Masters couldn't help but hold their breath, not daring to make a sound.
This caused Xia Feng to chuckle softly.
Standing before the ten, he asked condescendingly.
"As of now, may I ask the Saint Masters if I am still qualified to marry the Saintesses of your Sacred Lands?"
These words caused the Ten Sacred Land Masters' expressions to change; they knew Xia Feng was beginning to settle old scores.
Thus, the ten of them quickly pleaded.
"Lord Emperor's Son, we were blind to your greatness before. More than just being fit to marry our Sacred Land Saintesses, having them marry you would be an honor for them."
"The Celestial Fox Saint Master is right. As the Emperor's Son, your noble status means if you are not qualified, then no one in this world is."
"We were foolish before, please forgive us for our past mistakes in Xingyu City, Lord Emperor's Son."
The Ten Top Grade Sacred Land Masters begged for mercy, and seeing them so subservient stirred a vague feeling in Xia Feng.
Back in Xingyu City, these ten were high and mighty, taking away the Ten Great Saintesses without so much as a word.
At that time, how helpless and despairing Xia Feng felt, with no power to prevent his beloved ten women from being taken away.
The arrogance and unreasonableness of the Ten Great Saint Masters back then were overwhelming.
Xia Feng had wanted to say a few words for himself and the Saintesses, but was nearly struck dead by Chen Zhongming's Celestial Thunder.
But now, the Ten Top Grade Sacred Land Masters were kneeling, faces ashen.
"I understand you, as a nameless lad born of humble origin could never match your Saintesses."
"At that time, I was merely a Martial Sovereign, without power, background, or anything to gain your esteem."
"Your Sacred Lands have their rules, I understand, but from my perspective, the Ten Top Grade Saintesses were my beloved women, and I could never give them away."
"Now, as the Emperor's Son, I am qualified to marry your Saintesses."
"This time, I summoned you not for revenge, so you can rest assured, as some of you are even their teachers or uncles."
The Ten Top Grade Sacred Land Masters exchanged glances, relieved to hear Xia Feng's words.
Fortunately, Xia Feng was not like Xia Naiwu, who was ruthless and unprincipled as an Emperor's Son.
Although Xia Feng was frustrated, he would not truly harm the Ten Top Grade Saint Masters.
These Saint Masters might be conservative, but they genuinely cared for their Saintesses.
Xia Feng could see this from their demeanor when they took away the Ten Great Saintesses.
"Martial Sovereigns of the Lingxiao Pavilion," Xia Feng spoke.
"At your command!"
The Ten Martial Sovereigns responded in unison.
Xia Feng nodded at them, and the Ten Martial Sovereigns understood the gesture and withdrew.
The Ten Saint Masters did not understand Xia Feng's intentions but dared not ask, remaining prostrate on the ground.
About a minute later.
The Ten Martial Sovereigns re-entered the Emperor's Son's Qingxin Hall.
This time, each of them held a small purple-gold box in their hands.
Xia Feng nodded at them, and the ten men placed the purple-gold boxes before the Ten Top Grade Saint Masters.
"What is this..." Fang Molix, Saint Master of the Extreme Ice Sacred Land, looked puzzled at the small boxes.
"Saint Masters, please open them."
Xia Feng did not answer but just smiled.
Hearing Xia Feng's words, the Ten Great Saint Masters slowly extended their hands and carefully opened the ten purple-gold boxes.
"My heavens, this is Top Grade Dragon Marrow!" The Celestial Fox Saint Master exclaimed in shock upon seeing the contents of the box.
"Not only that, these... these, all of these are Emperor's Weapons, along with the crafting methods of ten Tier Eight Elixirs!" The Celestial Pill Saint Master's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked up at Xia Feng.
"Celestial Sound Technique, Emperor Level Middle Grade Technique, Great Dao Profound Sound Xiang, Emperor Level Upper Grade Technique... The treasure of our Demon Sound Sacred Land is only an Emperor Level Lower Grade Technique..."
The Ten Saint Masters were shocked to discover the vast treasures Xia Feng had placed in the ten boxes!
Despite the box's small size, it was imbued with the Great Dao of Space by Xia Tianming, making it like a storage ring with thousands of cubic meters of space!
These items combined far exceeded the entire foundation of their Top Grade Sacred Lands!
"Lord Emperor's Son, this is..."
The Celestial Sword Saint Master swallowed hard, his eyes almost turning green at the sight of the Emperor Level Middle Grade Cyan Nether Sword.
"These are my engagement gifts to your Ten Sacred Lands," Xia Feng said calmly.
"I once said that I would personally come with engagement gifts to propose to you one day."
"Today is the day I fulfill that promise."
The Ten Top Grade Saint Masters suddenly remembered Xia Feng's angry shout as he stood below in Xingyu City just before they left.
"These engagement gifts are too extravagant..."
The Overlord Blade Saint Master said, somewhat dazed.
The accumulation of their Top Grade Sacred Lands over tens of thousands of years was less than the contents of these small boxes.
A Top Grade Sacred Land was merely a Top Grade Sacred Land, they could only dominate within a limited domain.
But the Great Xia Empire was a colossal entity composed of countless territories, with resources far surpassing those of the Top Grade Sacred Lands.
What Xia Feng took out might be lavish for an empire, but it would never be to the point of pain.
In his view, the Ten Top Grade Saintesses deserved such precious engagement gifts.
He intended to marry all ten of them, for the whole world to see!
"Do you ten agree to my proposal?"
Xia Feng gestured, smilingly asking.
The Ten Top Grade Saint Masters immediately straightened their backs, responding robustly.
"It is our blessing and honor that Lord Emperor's Son favors the Saintesses of our Top Grade Sacred Lands, we dare not refuse!"
"Very well."
The ten's attitude made Xia Feng very satisfied, as he signaled to the Ten Martial Sovereigns.
