Chapter 368.1 (2/2)

“Master Gu Zhen, please don’t force me. I-I still don’t want to marry anyone…” Ya Lan bit her lips nervously as she tried to say the words with a calm tone.

“Hmph!”

Her refusal immediately aroused dissatisfaction in a gloomy and malevolent man.

On the upper seat sat a chubby young man with a frivolous expression. He was holding a cup and taking his time to enjoy the spiritual tea.

However, when he heard of Ya Lan's refusal, the chubby young man suddenly stood up and hurled his cup at Ya Lan fiercely and said with an indifferent tone.

“Hmph! I, Gu Zhen, am a dignified Fourth Revolution Pill Master. It is your ultimate honor and fortune that I have taken a fancy on you. What rights do you have in rejecting my marriage proposal!?”

*Piak*

The tea cup made a perfect arc across the air, flying directly towards Ya Lan's pretty face.

Ya Lan clenched her teeth and gently turned her body to avoid the incoming cup. However, it then split into pieces and cut through Ya Lan's cheek, leaving streaks of blood on her face.

It was painful… But what’s more hurtful than the cut was the humiliation she felt.

What’s more agonizing than the humiliation she felt was the cold shoulder from her loved ones.

There were three elders from the Ya Family sitting next to Ya Lan.

All three of them were Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with two of them being at the Early Nascent Soul Realm while the other was at the Mid Nascent Soul Realm.

Despite seeing the descendant of their family being humiliated by an outsider, none of them stood up for her.

Instead, the three elders of the Ya Family looked at Ya Lan coldly, as if they were blaming her for uttering offensive words which offended Gu Zhen.

“Ya Lan! Master Gu Zhen is right! You should be thankful that he has taken a fancy on you. No matter if you're willing to marry him or not, you still need to marry him in the end. This matter is related to the survival or extinction of our family. It’s not up to you to decide!”

“Please forgive us, Master Gu Zhen. Ya Lan is still young and ignorant. She just couldn’t see the bigger picture. Master Gu Zhen, please calm down.”

Gu Zhen's gloomy eyes were filled with contempt and arrogance.

He was the disciple of ‘Revered Flames’ of the Rain Palace. Besides, he was also a dignified Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with Fourth Revolution pill refinement techniques. Now, since he has set his eyes upon a Gold Core Realm lady like her, how could she be allowed to reject him!

Although Ya Lan was a member of the Lost World Palace, she was only one of the most common underlings. Furthermore, this matter was a private matter of the Ya Family.

Since the Ya Family had all agreed to marry off Ya Lan to Master Gu Zhen, how could there still be any reason for her to refuse?

“If you don’t marry me, I’ll see to it that the Ya Family will definitely be annihilated!” Gu Zhen threatened with a cold menacing tone.

His threatening remark made Ya Lan smile hopelessly.

Deep inside, she was reluctant to marry him. However, it seemed like fate didn’t want her to have the right to choose.

Marry, I’ll just marry him… How could I, a mere lady at the Early Gold Core Realm, have the right to reject the request of a divine messenger of the Rain Palace? Moreover, he is also a Fourth Revolution Pill Master...

Ya Lan didn’t say much. She raised her head and shifted her gaze towards Gu Zhen. Gradually, they became calm and composed.

She did not dare to resist her fate, but she despised Gu Zhen to the marrow of her bones.

For no reason, she suddenly recalled the figure of a young man in front of her eyes.

That year, a young boy who was covered in blood came to the southern tower and claimed himself as Zhou Ming.

That year, Ya Lan offered to sleep with him with a coquettish expression and tried to be his partner in dual-cultivation. However, she was rejected by him.

Looking back, I find myself really laughable.

Today, that man has become a supreme being of the Endless Sea. He probably might not even remember that there was once a lady who had secretly fallen in love with him.

“Fine, I’ll marry him…”

Ya Lan smiled bitterly and nodded her head.
