Zhou Hao was puzzled, not understanding what Xu Ling meant!

If it was because the two places were far apart, it would not be a problem at all. Although one could not casually return to the city after becoming a supernatural expert, there was still a chance. It was not like they could not see each other!

Zhou Hao did not understand what Xu Ling meant, so he was very anxious.

Xu Ling sighed and said with a sad expression.

“What I want to say is that I’ve already reached the supernatural level. Moreover, I’m also 18 years old. Perhaps… the family will arrange a marriage for me…”

Xu Ling’s words directly made Zhou Hao’s expression change drastically!

This was something he could not tolerate and could not accept. How could the Xu family arrange a marriage for Xu Ling?

“As a supernatural expert, can’t you…” Zhou Hao was very surprised. After becoming a supernatural expert, could she not control her own fate?

“Although supernatural experts are very powerful, supernatural experts are nothing to those large families. They could call on supernatural experts to help them at any time. Some larger families could even get twelfth-grade Heaven Realm experts to help them!”

“That’s the sort of power they have! When martial artists go into battle to kill the enemies, they still need commanders behind them. Most of these commanders are not martial artists. After all, there are still very few martial artists. There are more ordinary people.”

“And to put it bluntly, the people from those large family clans don’t care about martial artists at all. In their eyes, if they sit in the office and casually issue a document, these martial artists will run around. Moreover, since fighting the foreign races is very dangerous, the large family clans don’t arrange for too many family descendants to enter the martial artist world.”

“Of course, they still have some top-notch martial artists who have absolute authority in the alliance in order to stabilize the authority of the family. To put it bluntly, a high-level martial artist can bring supreme glory to a large family. These large families will secretly nurture martial artists, but they won’t let all the descendants of the family enter the martial artist world because they know how dangerous it is to become a martial artist!”

“Therefore, instead of going into battle to kill the enemies, it’s better for them to do some security work at the back. Despite not fighting in the frontlines, their status and identity are also not inferior to martial artists. This is what the big families think!”

At this point, Xu Ling’s expression seemed lonely.

“Most importantly, the descendants of those large family clans usually prefer to marry female martial artists. This is because once they marry into their family, not only will they be able to reproduce, but they will also be able to protect their husbands. To put it bluntly, these families are not just looking for women that have the ability to bear children, but they’re also looking for someone who’s able to be a nanny and a bodyguard!”

As Xu Ling spoke, Zhou Hao immediately clenched his fists!

Was this the path meant for female martial artists? This was too tragic!

“I’m only saying that a small number of female martial artists will be like this. The majority of them will still rush to the frontline and do what they like to do.”

“But… I’m from the Xu family, I’m afraid I can’t…”

At this point, Zhou Hao completely understood!

The Xu family was one of the big families of the Green Cloud Division.

Zhou Hao was not a newbie. The Xu family was one of the twelve families in the Green Cloud Division and had a lot of authority. This was because a super expert in the Green Cloud Division was from the Xu family and was rumored to have reached the twelfth-grade Heaven Realm or even higher. Therefore, the Xu family became a powerful family in the Green Cloud Division.

Moreover, Xu Ling’s family was a small branch of the Xu family. To put it bluntly, they were like side branches!

As a collateral descendant, she naturally had to be controlled by the direct descendants!

The direct descendants of the Xu family probably knew that Xu Ling was about to become a supernatural expert, so they treated her as a tool and wanted to marry into another family!

Zhou Hao had never expected this to happen to Xu Ling!

“Ever since I was young, I have always cultivated diligently in order to change my fate. When I was in school, I always wanted to get first place in every test. I wanted to work hard. When I started cultivating as a martial artist, I also worked hard to break through. Everything I did was so that I could dominate my own fate.”

“But now, I realize that all my efforts were actually for the sake of protecting a person I don’t like in the near future. Not only do I have to protect him, but I also have to call him husband, give birth to children for him, and take care of his daily life…”

“I… I’m unwilling to accept this. I’m not a tool. I’m just me. I want to live like I want to!”

Xu Ling pounced into Zhou Hao’s arms and couldn’t help but sob.

Zhou Hao’s heart ached incomparably. He took a deep breath and looked at Xu Ling. He immediately said, “Xu Ling, don’t worry. I won’t let this happen. I definitely won’t. If the supernatural experts won’t let the Xu family treat me seriously, then I’ll reach the Heaven Realm. If I can’t reach the Heaven Realm, then I’ll reach the twelfth-grade Heaven Realm. One day, I’ll personally go to the Xu family’s door and get them to marry you to me!”

At this moment, Zhou Hao clenched his fists tightly, his expression firm.

When Xu Ling heard this, her delicate body trembled. She looked up and was already covered in tears. She looked at Zhou Hao with an infatuated, touched, and even palpitating expression.

She kissed him lightly and their lips met. Immediately, a fire erupted.

However, Xu Ling only kissed Zhou Hao lightly and rushed out the door!

Looking at Xu Ling’s sad figure depart, Zhou Hao finally had an endless desire for strength!

Ever since he became a quasi Heaven Realm expert, he had relaxed a lot. After all, he already felt that he was strong enough!

An eighteen-year-old quasi Heaven Realm expert was enough for one to live with pride.

However, at this moment, he realized that he was still thinking too simply!

Some things were not up to him to decide!

The Xu family was very powerful, especially the direct descendants of the Xu family. They were very important in the Green Cloud Division. The moment Xu Ling became a supernatural expert, she would naturally be arranged by her family to stay behind.

After becoming a special envoy of the Jiangnan region, the Xu family would finally arrange for her to marry a descendant of a big family to live a peaceful life in the Jiangnan region. This was what the Xu family wanted!

Not only could this consolidate the strength behind them, but it could also allow them to develop alliances with other families. This was the best choice for any big family!

However, Zhou Hao would definitely not allow it!

Xu Ling was his woman and he would not let such a thing happen!

“One day, I will personally come to the Xu family and force open the doors. I will let everyone in the Xu family fear me and marry Xu Ling. I will also make them not dare to force Xu Ling to do anything!”

Zhou Hao swore in his heart!

On this day, Zhou Hao yearning for strength had been multiplied!
