As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

The royal family currently has four Princesses. Apart from the first Princess who has disappeared without a trace, the other three Princesses have each been highly sought after by nobles vying for marriage since birth.

Not to mention, as time has passed, the three Princesses have all showcased their talents.

The second Princess is among the Kingdom's top Magic-guided Alchemists.

The third Princess is rumored to have signed a contract with a Giant Dragon, having become the Legendary Dragon Knight.

The fourth Princess supposedly awakened the affinity for earth, water, fire, and wind elements at the age of six and was already a Legendary Level prodigy at birth.

Each Princess is a person of exceptional qualities, naturally possessing talents that ordinary people cannot reach. Even if they shed their royal status, their talents alone would be enough for them to rise to high positions within the Kingdom in the future.

Thereafter, the three Princesses dressed in royal attire offered a slight bow to everyone present.

The oldest, the second Princess, was 15 years old; the youngest, the fourth Princess, was only 13 years old. Yet, even so, they made all the noble ladies present feel inferior.

"Hero, which one of the royal daughters will you choose?" The King smiled as he approached Xue Dili, gesturing toward the three Princesses.

This undoubtedly made everyone present grit their teeth, as it could be freely chosen?

Countless young noble sons glared viciously at Xue Dili, full of resentment that whether in terms of appearance, status, or talent, the three Princesses were among the best. They were thrilled to even catch a distant glimpse of the Princesses, often losing sleep over it.

And this guy, he could even choose freely. Wasn't it simply because he was a bit stronger and a bit more handsome than them?

Of course, everyone ignored the first Princess, as those present were the second generation of the Hero Squad and knew that the first Princess was unsuitable for appearance here, let alone as a marriage choice.

"Oh King of the Otherworld, there's one thing I don't understand, where is the first Princess?" Xue Dili decisively asked.

For him, this was both a test and a way to help Uncle Brave find his child.

That was the only relative of Uncle Brave.

Since the people of this world went through such lengths to deceive Uncle Brave, that uncle's child must hold an extremely important position, and now, Xue Dili just needed this information.

Perfect, this could be a good opportunity to probe.

Instantly, the entire room fell silent.

The young noble sons who were previously grinding their teeth were stunned and then ecstatically began to maliciously mock Xue Dili's foolishness and audacity in their hearts, most enjoying seeing their rival's dismay, more than their own success.

And some noble ladies began to look at Xue Dili, the prince-like figure from a fairytale, with tearful eyes, thinking perhaps this was his subtle way of rejecting? Did he already have someone he loves in his heart? Could it be me?

No matter how others reacted, the old King's once cheerful face suddenly darkened, staring steadily at Xue Dili, with lion-like eyes.

"Why?" His tone sounded somewhat sullen.

"I heard you have four Princesses? I'm just curious why the first Princess isn't here?" Xue Dili said casually, seemingly naive and clueless like a person from the Otherworld.

The former scout of the Hero Squad's expression slightly eased as he spoke up.

"Alright, it's decided then. My second daughter Aurora, come and meet your husband." The old King spoke, and it was a done deal.

Xue Dili and the three Princesses exchanged glances from a distance; some had unpleasant expressions, some appeared innocent, and some seemed thoughtful, each with different expressions.

The eldest, the second Princess, elegantly walked over, removed her white silk gloves, and extended her hand to Xue Dili: "Hello, hero, I am Alchemist Aurora, your future wife."

Her face showed no unusual expression, looking at Xue Dili as if he was invisible, like looking at air.

"Hello." Before Xue Dili could bow, the impatient Elf Maiden stepped forward, directly grabbing the second Princess's hand with eyes full of dignified challenge.

If not for Xue Dili's presence, she might have desired to stick needles into this niece of hers.

However, Xue Dili acted as if he did not notice this drama, only saying to Uncle Brave: "Uncle, I pretty much guessed it, you've lost your bet!"

Uncle Brave lifted his head, his eyes lost the highlight as if they suddenly remembered: "I still have a daughter… Yes… I still have a daughter… Xue Dili, please, find her… She must still be alive…"

"Don't worry, I came just for this." Xue Dili's mouth twisted into a sinister arc.

…

The King waved his hand, gifting a manor in the Royal Capital as the Princess's dowry.

When Xue Dili arrived at the manor, he was shocked by the Otherworld's extravagance; the manor was like a medieval Ancient Castle with an included butler and several fine horses.

Moreover, the six young ladies who summoned Xue Dili earlier also arrived at the manor to become his maids.

"Xue Dili, I'll return to the Elf Forest as fast as I can to bring a leaf. It's a tradition of the Elf Race, symbolizing our marriage contract never to be broken, I'll be back before tomorrow." The Elf Maiden said hurriedly to Xue Dili.

Xue Dili responded silently.

As the Elf Maiden left, she whispered to the Princess's ear: "Don't sneak anything, or there will be consequences!"

"I dare not, aunty." The Princess's etiquette was far superior to the wild elf's, immediately bowing slightly with elegance.

"Tsk, you pretentious bitch..."

Witnessing this hair-pulling scene, Xue Dili coldly observed, swiftly surveying his newfound domain before his lips began to curl.

Thank you, Kingdom, for giving him such a great place, as well as a hostage of significant weight.

He called over the Princess, who was preparing to tidy the room, then went to the deepest part of the Ancient Castle, where Xue Dili set up a barrier—a room undetectable by any magic.

The fifteen-year-old second Princess noticed the isolation barrier Xue Dili set up, her small hands under the white silk gloves trembling.

As a political tool, even at fifteen she was well aware of all sordid affairs, having specially studied how to please men.

She might have guessed today's outcome, being led to a dark room by a man and having an isolation barrier set up, she understood well what awaited her from her very core.

Yet, after just half a second of mental struggle, she resolutely stepped into the barrier.

However, what happened next may have made her consider that if she could be normally humiliated like a woman, it could be considered lucky…

At the moment she entered the room, Xue Dili abruptly grabbed her arm roughly, like a savage Beastman, and extended his tongue to lick her cheek.

"No…" The second Princess seemed to resist slightly, more like a coquettish flirtation.

But Xue Dili paid it no mind; his attention solely focused on the prompt displayed on his panel.

[Reverse-engineering DNA, Half-Elf subspecies, possessing Elf-like traits with significantly shortened life span.]

[Unknown contamination present, current organism possesses 4.2% of Heroic Lot's gene module…]

"Indeed, Uncle Brave, it appears you treated your team members like brothers, but they, ah, viewed you as a walking magic potion." Xue Dili's lips spread wide.

The second Princess opened her eyes slightly, puzzled at why Xue Dili had not taken the next step, had not removed her clothing. Did he want her to do it herself?

But suddenly, Xue Dili's hand transformed into numerous blood serpents, tightly winding around her as those blood serpents turned into ropes binding and suspending her.

Could it be this hero enjoys torturing while performing such acts? Should I scream?

But the blood serpents bit through her delicate skin, the blood entering her body, and then, she heard Xue Dili's terrifying command.

"Cursed Blood, segregate the Hero's gene!"

The second Princess was wide-eyed, her pupils contracting.
