Chapter 6: Protagonist on the run!

Chapter 6: Protagonist on the run!

"Why don't you become my wife?"

"W-What?" Yujin shouted loudly, standing up straight from his seat, his eyes widened in shock and anger. Ashen had just proposed to his love, how could he not be shocked?

He had agreed to live here only to get some alone time with Li Xiran, However, now it seemed like he had to attend her wedding with tears in his eyes.

While Yujin expressed his shock, Xiran, baffled by this sudden proposal, fell into deep thought as she pondered about what to answer.

Did she like Ashen?

Indeed, she liked how he was gentle with her, treated her well and complimented her.

But, did she love him?

No, atleast not yet.

However, before she had the chance to answer, Ashen burst into laughter: "Pfft... hahahhahaaa"

Wiping his tears, He said giggling: "I was just joking"

Thereafter, gradually Ashen's laughter turned dim as a saddened expression revealed on Ashen's countenance, He spoke in a low voice: "Why would You marry me when you have Yujin here?"

"Yujin is just my friend, we don't have any other sort of relationship" Xiran clarified, standing up from her seat.

She had seen Yujin as just a friend and nothing more. However, this revelation hit Yujin in the face.

He had seen Xiran as his lover and thought that she felt the same way. He just considered her to be a little shy, however, he was confident that she would accept his love openly after some time.

"Oh sorry, I thought that you two were lovers" Ashen threw his final attack, peeking at Yujin's expression from the corner of his eyes.

Ding!

Ding!

Ding!

...

Ashen received Numerous notifications from the System, however, ignoring them, he kept looking at Yujin.

This Protagonist, The one who is supposed to be overpowered and a chick magnet, had tears in his eyes as they flowed out of his eyes nonstop.

His state of mind had been shattered by Xiran's statement as he tried to justify himself in his own twisted way:

"She has betrayed me. As I am poor and haven't started cultivating, she has chosen to betray my love and chosen this Prince as her next target.

She must be thinking that he is richer and more powerful than me, He can provide her with a comfortable life.

You Bitch, Just wait, I will have my revenge on you and make this Prince, who you think is better than me, lick my feet as he would beg me for mercy.

I will make you regret making this choice!" Yujin roared in his mind, resolving to enact his revenge upon these two.

From his point of view, Xiran's hesitation in rejecting Ashen's marriage proposal as if she was considering to accept, had become a seed of doubt in his mind.

--------------------------------

Ashen observed the status Window before pondering upon something. He asked:

"Hey System! why is this Protagonist so weak and a simp? Aren't Protagonists supposed to be super lucky with women? He couldn't even make one woman fall for him"

Ashen, puzzled by Yujin's behavior, asked the System about it. Although, he had played some schemes, However, wasn't this too easy?

Xiran had never fallen in love with him so how was he supposed to try different tricks, She just accepted his advances.

[Ding! Host, Did you forget? The protagonist is supposed to be someone who is betrayed at first but then returns stronger to take his revenge and the world helps him in his quest by providing him with various opportunities]

Ashen nodded before speaking: "Yes that's what I am sayi-" And that's when his eyes opened wide as a realization dawned upon him.

[Ding! Host, What you are thinking is correct. Han Yujin's journey has just begun and he will become stronger to defeat you]

Ashen rushed out of his room, calling Chen Jie to come in front of him.

Chen Jie, coming at the fastest pace he could manage, asked: "What is your Order Your Highness?"

Ashen, tension reflecting on his face, asked in a rushed voice: "Where is Han Yujin? Where is he?"

Ashen wanted to stop Han Yujin from ever getting the chance to become stronger. He wanted to turn him into his captive.

A confused expression appeared on Chen Jie's face before he answered with a bow: "Your Highness, Didn't you send him out?

He appeared at the mansion's gate half an hour ago and informed the guards that you have ordered him to visit his village and call the villagers for the awakening ceremony"

Ashen's eyes widened in realization as he muttered: "I am too late!"
