"Marry me!" Chu Youran looked at Ling Yi and said seriously.
Are you serious?
Ling Yi was dumbfounded. They had only known each other for a day, no, less than an hour!
This is way too short!
"It's all my fault. Since things have come to this, let's go all the way and get married. You help me get rid of the Chu Family and Lin Clan, and I'll give you everything you want."
Yes, it's become a shorter drama.
"You're not suggesting that you have to marry a man to inherit the family fortune or something, are you?"
"No, quite the opposite. Only by marrying an ordinary person can I completely escape my family's fate."
Ling Yi scratched his head. What kind of explanation is this?
"Women of the Chu Family are either used as tools for political marriages, thus formally entering the core circle of high society and becoming wealthy wives or wives of officials."
"Or, marry an ordinary person, get a sum of money, and then leave the Chu Family completely, no longer receiving any protection from the Chu Family."
"I would choose the second option. Compared to the infighting and backstabbing within wealthy families, I prefer this peaceful and simple life."
This is completely different from what Ling Yi expected; this is so anti-short drama!
He couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "You married me to leave the Chu Family? Why didn't you just choose to leave the Chu Family directly?"
"I need this money from the Chu Family to ensure my future livelihood. If I don't get married, I won't get this money," Chu Youran said earnestly, crossing her long legs.
"How much?"
"One hundred million!"
One hundred million! That's no small sum!
Chu Youran looked at Ling Yi: "If you agree to marry me, I can give you ten million."
"I'm not short of money!" Ling Yi shook his head.
Making money couldn't be easier for him now.
By simply buying a few Investment Information Card, one can earn countless riches.
It's just that Ling Yi is rather lazy.
Moreover, for Ling Yi, enough money is enough; any more is just a number in her bank account.
Ling Yi can travel through countless scripted worlds and enjoy everything he can within them.
For example, in the Dragon King World, Ling Yi lived a life like an emperor in the Xia Family.
In the real world, Ling Yi prefers to follow her heart and act naturally.
"Twenty million!"
"Beautiful lady, I'm not short of money."
Chu Youran could tell that Ling Yi didn't seem to be lying.
Moreover, from the moment she met Ling Yi until now, Chu Youran has been able to Perception a kind of confidence that comes from the very core of Ling Yi.
He remained calm and composed whether he saw his luxury car or his villa.
Even as she entered the villa, Chu Youran saw a hint of disdain in Ling Yi's eyes.
Judging from all these signs, Ling Yi seems to be more than just a simple person.
"So what do you want?"
Ling Yi couldn't help but think of the short dramas he had watched before. He stroked his chin, looked Chu Youran up and down for a moment, and then said, "To be honest, I don't know what I want."
"But marriage isn't out of the question, however, we'll need to sign a prenuptial agreement."
"If we fall in love with each other within three months of getting our marriage certificate, then we'll get married officially. If not, then we'll part ways amicably and not waste each other's time."
Chu Youran blinked. "Wait, isn't that supposed to be my line? How come you said it first?"
This made Chu Youran feel very indignant.
She, the undisputed number one School Belle, is she really so unworthy of this guy's attention?
"Good!"
Her original purpose for getting married wasn't actually to get married.
Ling Yi's condition is exactly what I wanted!
"Don't worry, no matter what the final outcome is, I will give you twenty million!"
"I told you, I..."
"This is my compensation for getting you hooked."
Compensation? Ling Yi shook his head.
In fact, Ling Yi's impression of Chu Youran was not very good.
Ling Yi even suspected that Chu Youran's use of him as a shield was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a premeditated plan.
It's just that I happened to be there at the time.
If I'm not there, will Chu Youran choose another unlucky person?
They have their own system and over three million Cannon Fodder Points as a safety net, while the other unfortunate souls don't.
Twenty million—do you even have the life to take it and the life to spend it?
Ling Yi expressed serious doubt.
In the Dragon King World, Ling Yi had personally witnessed the power of those top-tier wealthy families.
While the short drama may be somewhat exaggerated, the power, influence, and resources wielded by top-tier wealthy families in reality are in no way inferior to those depicted in the drama.
It's just that ordinary people can't access it because of the barriers of the circle.
Just like Lin Jiong: crazy, irritable, arrogant, and unrestrained.
He probably has a lot of lives on his hands, and he doesn't even consider human lives to be human lives.
Why? Because of the terrifying power of the family behind him.
For these beings, the death of an ordinary person is truly as simple as crushing an ant.
Moreover, this world seems to be more than simple, possessing Transcendent power.
Ling Yi had never heard of Martial Dao masters in this world before.
This is the barrier of a circle; ordinary people may never come into contact with this Transcendent circle.
"Alright!" Ling Yi nodded this time, no longer refusing.
Ten minutes later, Chu Youran had someone deliver a prenuptial agreement to her.
Two copies are to be made, each signed by its respective party.
"We'll get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
"Okay, do we need to announce our marriage to the public?"
"Of course, you must stay by my side during this time so that I can protect you and Lin Jiong won't dare to act rashly."
"Since that's the case, let's make it public, which will also inform the Chu Family and Lin Clan of my stance."
"Good!"
"There's one million in this card, for your daily expenses."
Ling Yi looked at Chu Youran: "I have this feeling that I'm being kept by someone."
" Ling Yi, I'm truly sorry about this." Chu Youran looked at Ling Yi and said with utmost sincerity.
This left Ling Yi momentarily speechless.
He coughed and changed the subject. "Can you tell me about the Transcendent powers in this world?"
"How much do you know?" Chu Youran countered.
Ling Yi shook his head. "I know nothing."
"Didn't your the Final Master tell you these things?"
Ling Yi shook his head, offering no further explanation.
"The Transcendent powers in this world are mainly divided into two types: Martial Dao and Immortal Dao."
" The Immortal Dao immortality? There are cultivators in this world?" Ling Yi asked in surprise.
" The Immortal Dao' is just a term; in reality, it refers to the Daoist School Daoist School of thought. At a simpler level, they might be able to read feng shui and predict good or bad fortune; at a more advanced level, they might be able to use some Daoist School Divine Ability and secret techniques."
"However, the Immortal Dao is difficult to cultivate, so nowadays the focus is mainly on Martial Dao."
"What level is your An Jin cultivation?" Ling Yi asked again.
Chu Youran said, "You are the only one who can see through my true Martial Dao level at a glance. No one knows that I have reached the An Jin except myself."
"It was precisely because you saw through my cultivation level that I assumed you were also from Martial Dao family, which is why I acted rashly and used you as a shield."
"Is this my fault?"
" Martial Dao families stand above worldly affairs. Do you understand what I mean?"
"So, what is the cultivation level of the strongest person in this world? And what level is their An Jin?"
"What level am I?" Chu Youran asked with an arrogant expression.
"In the entire North Leaf Province, there are only two Martial Dao families, and the strongest among them is Peak An Jin, Half-Step Hua Jin Master."
"And those Martial Practitioner have reached the An Jin are only a handful."
"Therefore, as long as you stay by my side, I will protect you."
