Chapter 1682 - Marriage Proposal (1/2)

“Surrendering is a wise choice.”

Zhang Ruochen was very careful, so he continued, “But how do I know that you won’t use a hidden card after I release you, or have Blindman and Big Beard come deal with me?”

The Thousand Star Maiden lowered herself. Her voice wasn’t as harsh as before. “First, you know the secret of me having Mysteries of Truth. If you spread the news, it won’t kill me, but it’ll cause me trouble. I have to be careful when dealing with you.

“Second, I still want to work with you to get the divine spring. I won’t benefit from harming you.

“We were too impulsive just then. It’s best if we calm down and work together.”

The Thousand Star Maiden had never lost in her life. She didn’t believe that anyone in the same generation was qualified to be her match, but today, she failed. She was actually captured by Zhang Ruochen.

Actually, she felt extremely wronged and hated Zhang Ruochen to death.

She’d used her strongest trump card earlier but couldn’t break through the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide. This made her feel horrible. What if Zhang Ruochen really didn’t care about anything, deciding to go all out and taking this chance to kill her and take her Mysteries of Truth?

Naturally, she had to find a chance to steady Zhang Ruochen.

Actually, Zhang Ruochen never thought about killing the Thousand Star Maiden. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t do it so obviously. If she’d died in the Starry Carriage, the Truth G.o.dly Palace would attack Zhang Ruochen and he wouldn’t be able to leave the G.o.d-Naming Platform.

He’d attacked earlier just to warn the Thousand Star Maiden against being so offensive. If she forced him to an edge, he could do anything and he was able to kill her.

“I still don’t trust you.”

Zhang Ruochen shook his head and studied the Thousand Star Maiden, continuing, “Didn’t you once say that I have a chance to be the prince of the Thousand Star Maiden? How about we confirm that so I can have some more protection?”

“What prince? Zhang Ruochen…what do you want?”

The Thousand Star Maiden’s voice had a fearful undertone.

“With your personality, you would definitely hate me after losing to me and getting captured,” Zhang Ruochen said. “If our relations.h.i.+p doesn’t improve, you may kill or suppress me at any time after I free you. I would have to be careful every second of the day. That’s too tiring and reactive.”

The Thousand Star Maiden was unsettled. “If you dare to do anything, I will die with you.”

“You are smart and value your own life. I’m sure you won’t do that.”

Zhang Ruochen smiled casually and reached out to touch the image of beauty with a hand. Spatial power poured out and his finger sank into the page.

Rip!

He tore off a part of the Thousand Star Maiden’s purple dress. It fell into his hand.

“Zhang Ruochen, you pervert… This is too much… Watch, I’m going to make you die with me…” The Thousand Star Maiden was furious. If she wasn’t suppressed by the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide, she would kill Zhang Ruochen even if it meant she had to deactivate her saint source.

What was strange was that Zhang Ruochen didn’t do anything after tearing out a piece of her dress.

A moment later, Zhang Ruochen opened the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide and released her.

The Thousand Star Maiden was still wrapped in layers of silver light. She wasn’t fully free.

Zhang Ruochen tossed the dress over. “I already wrote the t.i.tle. Your turn to write the main body.”

“Write what?”

The Thousand Star Maiden knew that Zhang Ruochen could trap her inside the book at any time, so she didn’t attack brashly. She picked up the dress from the ground. With round almond eyes, she gasped. “Marriage proposal? Whose?”

“Yours and mine, of course.” Zhang Ruochen spoke seriously and didn’t seem to be joking.

“You mean, about you becoming the prince?” the Thousand Star Maiden asked.

“What else could it be? Do you think that I’m interested in your body?” Zhang Ruochen asked in shock.

The Thousand Star Maiden’s hands trembled, thinking that Zhang Ruochen’s words were too offensive. Judging by his tone, did he look down on her?

After all, her beauty and talent weren’t any worse than the nine on the Nine Angels Beauty Scroll. She was just much younger than them, so she wasn’t included on the scroll.

Poof!

Holy Qi poured out of her pale fingers, crumbling her dress. “There are so many elites in the worlds who pursue me,” she said in a low voice. “Do you qualify to force me to write a marriage proposal?”

The Thousand Star Maiden’s body shone with brilliant light. A white scroll appeared between her fingers suddenly.

She was about to activate it and strike…

Whoos.h.!.+

Zhang Ruochen closed the Time and s.p.a.ce Secret Guide, trapping her again.

Rip!
