Chapter 833 – Iron Forest
Before Feng Zhilin entered Wu Guangyu’s quarters, she glanced at Xiaolang.
Xiaolang kept his eyes glazed over, as if he was under a spell.
Was I mistaken? Why did I sense a thick killing intent from this beast just now? Feng Zhilin shook her head and looked at Xiaolang for a while. After confirming that she was mistaken, she entered.
She was only willing to disturb Wu Guangyu while he was cultivating because she was not assured about him. If Wu Guangyu could not let go of his obsession and decided to look for Long Chen now, they would have a huge problem.
To her, Wu Guangyu was a powerful cultivator, but Long Chen was a mysterious nightmare.
Giant Metal City was basically an iron forest, so it was not as aesthetically pleasing as Heavenly Wood City. However, after the Wind clansmen fixed the place up, the buildings almost looked like normal houses, equipping them with all the necessities.
Feng Zhilin heard her when she arrived outside his door, and he smiled warmly and stood up. He could already smell her fragrance.
I can’t believe Sister Zhilin completely fell for me after that loss. Should I be thanking Long Chen at this point?
Wu Guangyu naturally noticed the change in Feng Zhilin.
They had been betrothed since they were young, and now they were much older and had reached ages suitable for marriage. The Wind clan had followed the Divine clan around for many years and had always been somewhat like their servants. The members of the Divine clan looked down on the Wind clansmen even more than the Demon clan had done with the Thunder clan.
If Feng Zhilin married Wu Guangyu, the situation could change.
Both of them held special positions in their respective clan. Wu Guangyu was also the heir to the Divine clan and was an extraordinary prodigy.
That was why she had put much thought into her looks today.
The two started to chat, with both parties looking to benefit from it. Feng Zhilin kept giggling.
“Sister Zhilin, let’s get married when we get out of the Ancient Graveyard. When that happens, I want the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory to know that you are my bride! I will hold the grandest wedding across the whole Ten Thousand Nations Territory. You will marry into the Divine clan and become my woman!” said Wu Guangyu with a burning gaze.
His burning gaze and heavy breathing made her feel like she was falling.
Since he really loves me, everything will be fine. I need to marry someone anyway. He has endless potential and will become the strongest person in the territory sooner or later. It’s not a bad thing at all to have a husband like that.
In reality, there was no love between these two. One side wanted to get his hands on the other as soon as possible, while the other was eyeing his strength and rank.
They chatted until midnight. Wu Guangyu did not seem to intend on letting Feng Zhilin leave.
“Who really waits until marriage these days? We’re only going to leave the Ancient Graveyard in half a year. Feng Zhilin, I really like you and I am willing to give up everything for you. Please believe me, will you?” Wu Guangyu begged.
Wu Guangyu was not going to give up easily. Feng Zhilin had not rejected him decisively; she had merely slapped him in the face, which proved that he had a huge chance. Therefore, he came up with endless sweet words and made countless promises to her.
“In the future, I will give you anything and everything you want. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Azure Lotus Sword or the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance. I will snatch it for you. Today, I risked my life to kill Long Chen to avenge you. Sister Zhilin, can’t you feel that my heart is true?”
Wu Guangyu’s final words finally moved Feng Zhilin.
They already were betrothed anyway. Feng Zhilin’s marriage to Wu Guangyu was becoming increasingly likely to happen.
