Chapter 12 A New Goal

Atop Sunset Mountain, the sun was just beginning to rise when Meng Qi saw Long Chen walk back with the marriage contract . Despite this being what she wanted, she couldn’t bear to do it . Her hand trembled, but she simply couldn’t take that thing piece of paper .

Long Chen smiled slightly . Gripping her hand lightly, he handed the marriage contract to her .

When he touched her beautiful hand, his heart shook and it took a huge effort to keep himself calm .

“Take it . You’re a nice girl, and although the situation is as it is, I don’t hate you in the slightest . ”

With one hand in the grasp of Long Chen, Meng Qi’s body shook . Originally she wanted to take her hand back, but it was as if she couldn’t control her own body .

Long Chen’s words caused her heart to ache, and the tears within her eyes spilled out . She choked out, “Long Chen, I’m sorry…”

“You really are a nice person . I should make my move now while I have a chance…”

His heart was plummeting, but his expression was still warm and calm . He acted in a brotherly manner, reaching out and gently wiping away her tears .

It was only with his greatest strength that he managed not to become engrossed with her beautiful face . Her charm was truly just too astonis.h.i.+ng .

Without his powerful Spiritual Strength, he would have already become enchanted . But at this time he had to continue resisting .

With a faint smile, he said, “Meng Qi, this isn’t your fault . If you want to blame someone, you should blame our fathers . Those two old conkers played a practical joke on us . ”

The originally sobbing Meng Qi couldn’t help laughing when she heard his unfilial and ridiculous words .

The smile that blossomed on her tear-streaked face was like dew-covered spring flower . Her beauty was something that could not be replicated . Gazing at that face, Long Chen blurted out, “Meng Qi, you’re really beautiful . ”

But he regretted it as soon as he said it . Despite his attempts at self-control, his male wolf side still appeared . Long Chen was so angry he wanted to punch himself .

Luckily, Meng Qi didn’t become angry after hearing Long Chen’s praise . Her face turned red and she rolled her eyes in a cute way that was another kind of beauty .

c.r.a.p, c.r.a.p, Long Chen, if you miss out on such a beautiful woman, what would be the point of living?

Right, I just have to do everything I can . Don’t worry about danger or saving face!

Long Chen sighed and let go of Meng Qi’s hand, leaving the marriage contract with her .

“Actually, with your current status, you didn’t even need to notice my existence . We’re two people in two different worlds . But you still came . I know that you came because you didn’t want me to harbor any false hope and have me waiting forever till the end . For you to want this is completely faultless . On the contrary, I am extremely grateful to you . ”

“Long Chen, are you just saying this to try to make me feel less guilty?” With the marriage contract in her hand, her voice trembled slightly as she spoke .

“No, I’m saying the truth . But from today onwards, I have a distant goal now,” laughed Long Chen .

“What is it?” asked Meng Qi .

“From today onwards, I will put all my effort into cultivating . Once my strength is great enough, I’ll come find you . The current marriage contract has become invalid, but I’ll start to chase after you again starting now . ”

Although he was smiling, his eyes were filled with determination . No one could doubt his resolution .

Meng Qi was speechless . This was the first time she had ever met someone who was so bold to confess to her, and even more shocking was this person was a man she had personally delivered a deep grief .

Her thoughts were in complete confusion and she didn’t know how to respond . Should she decline or accept?

“You don’t need to feel any pressure . This is just my own wishful thinking . A kind woman like you is someone worthy of having me, Long Chen, guard with my life . But before I can pursue you, I have to properly cultivate and become a true expert . Only then will I have the qualifications to protect you . In order to get those qualifications, I’ll cultivate with all my might . It doesn’t matter whether you accept or decline me, I’ll still continue like this,” said Long Chen with resolve .

Meng Qi’s face was completely red . Although she had previously come from a humble origin, ever since she had entered into a cultivation sect, everything had changed .

This was the first time anyone had dared to confess so brazenly to her . Seeing Long Chen’s determined expression, her thoughts were a wild tumble and she was unable to say anything .

“There’s hope,” thought Long Chen in satisfaction as he looked at the bewildered Meng Qi . Right now the most important thing was for Meng Qi to not feel any dislike with him . That would already be considered a success and a small step forward . The next steps would be to continue stirring her emotions until he moved her core .

Long Chen was about to continue when a terrifying aura exploded out .

Meng Qi’s expression changed and she stepped forward, placing Long Chen behind her . She readied herself, prepared for anything . She waited for a moment as she a.s.sessed the situation before relaxing slightly .

A huge wasp appeared in front of them . It was over fifteen meters long and its body was covered in gaudy lines that would cause people’s scalps to turn numb .

Long Chen was alarmed, as that was not only a second rank Magical Beast, but an exceptionally violent Bloodrage Wasp .

Even a third rank Magical Beast wouldn’t easily go provoke it because even they would at least be gravely injured if pierced by its stinger .

But after a brief moment of fear, a certain thought arose as he looked at Meng Qi’s beautiful back: You may be able to stand in front of me this time, but I will stand in front of you for a lifetime .

That huge Bloodrage Wasp landed onto the ground, its terrifying cry still lingering in the air . A man jumped off from its back .
