NOVEL NEXT Chapter 200
Chapter 200: I Love You! They?
At first, Qin Bei married Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue primarily for the system reward—the Immortal Phoenix Body.
This cultivation body boasts an extraordinary ability to recover.
However, it hasn’t played a significant role for Qin Bei.
Because he rarely engages in battle, and even when he does, he seldom gets injured.
Instead, the cultivation body has mildly enhanced his strength.
It has also sparked Qin Bei’s interest in pursuing body cultivation.
Still, until he obtains the “Void Sutra,” Qin Bei isn’t going to easily set his cultivation direction.
But one thing Qin Bei is sure of is that his weapon of choice is a spear!
…
Yes, Qin Bei admits; initially, it was all about the system rewards.
Then it became about the beauty of Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue.
After all, he had never encountered such stunning women who were willing to marry him.
Naturally, Qin Bei was delighted.
However, after spending time together, not only have Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue changed in mindset, but Qin Bei has too.
In his eyes, there’s nothing wrong with valuing appearance.
Now, Qin Bei wants to take it a step further.
While he can’t achieve it all in one leap, he must move in that direction.
How else can he showcase his prowess in enjoying life?
…
Hearing Qin Bei’s shout, Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue almost simultaneously turned to look back.
In that moment,
the slight worry on their faces vanished entirely.
Surprise bloomed across their exquisite features.
They couldn’t help but smile.
Because they were witnessing the vast stars.
Or rather, they were seeing the vast stars that Qin Bei had prepared for them.
At that moment, Qin Bei stood a short distance away.
Using his not-so-mighty soul power, he controlled one soul bead after another to ascend and reach his desired position.
He was painting what he perceived as the vast stars.
Originally, he could have accomplished this effortlessly using spiritual energy.
But Qin Bei didn’t choose that path.
One reason is that soul beads lifted by spiritual energy would leave traces; seeing those would make it hard to associate the beads with the vast stars.
Another reason is that Qin Bei wanted to show Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue he could provide them with the best, not settling due to fear of fatigue—he, Qin Bei, is a man of responsibility.
Everyone stepped out of their cultivation state.
They could all see that controlling such a number of soul beads into the air was difficult for Qin Bei.
There were many moments when everyone thought these soul beads would plummet the next second due to Qin Bei’s insufficient soul power.
Yet, somehow, Qin Bei summoned a bit more soul power from who knows where.
Just enough to keep that star afloat.
Qin Bei brushed off the gazes around him and continued to advance step by step.
Behind him was a vast network of stars woven from 120,000 different soul beads.
Only with soul beads combined with soul power could such realism and beauty be achieved.
Everyone who laid eyes on these soul beads couldn’t help but associate them with the boundless billions of stars.
…
However, at this time, Qin Bei’s soul power was already near its limit; he looked ready to falter at any moment.
But eventually, Qin Bei still brought these billions of stars closer towards the astonished Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue.
“You’ve worked hard all this time. Today, I will shatter those rumors in front of everyone.”
Qin Bei extended his right hand to gently caress Mu Zhaoxue’s stunning face, while his left hand did the same to Ji Zhuyue.
At this moment, the two women gazed at Qin Bei, unsure of what he intended to do or say.
Yet they seemed to know everything as they looked forward to it.
“The rumors out there claim that our union is merely for the benefit of our countries, that I, the king, am just a lecher, devoid of any emotion between us.”
At this point, Qin Bei chuckled lightly before continuing.
“I won’t deny the first part. If it weren’t for the interests of our kingdoms, we wouldn’t have known each other. And with two such beautiful wives, who could blame me for being a bit lustful? I’m neither a cultivation fanatic nor a monk, so of course, I’m lustful.”
Qin Bei spoke calmly; after all, these were all truths.
“But I refuse the latter statement. Who says we lack feelings? At the very least, I, Qin Bei, can swear that I love you.”
With deep affection, Qin Bei gazed at the two beauties in front of him, the last sentence said with striking conviction.
The three of them felt there was nothing wrong with this declaration.
But those surrounding them sensed something off.
“I love you? They
?”Whose subordinate is so bold?
Declaring love in front of the two ladies…
Indeed, it seems in this regard, we must rely on Prince Bei.
Qin Bei was oblivious to the thoughts of those around him.
What he wanted to know most was the feelings of the two before him.
“Today, I, Qin Bei, will declare before everyone that you are my dearest loves. From now on, anything you desire, even if it’s thousands of stars, I will strive to pluck them for you. If anyone dares to harm even a hair on you, I will crush them underfoot, just like these thousands of stars!”
As Qin Bei concluded his statement, the billions of stars behind him shattered into sparkles of starlight.
To everyone’s astonishment, these star particles formed four big words in the end.
“I Love You!”
Everyone: ???
What the heck? What kind of human tragedy is this?
Letting so many people witness others flaunting their affection.
And to top it off, he used soul beads for this display, which are tough for anyone to obtain, especially sixth-level soul beads.
And here they were, reduced to dust by Qin Bei.
“I… I…”
“I…”
In a moment, Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue found themselves at a loss on how to face Qin Bei.
This passionate confession came far too suddenly.
They were completely unprepared!
And with so many people around…
Even if they wanted to whisper sweet nothings, shouldn’t they find a quiet spot to do so?
In front of this crowd, even Ji Zhuyue couldn’t handle it.
She may have lived a long time, but she had never faced such a situation.
“No worries, I just wanted to share my thoughts, letting them know not to gossip behind our backs anymore. If I hear it again, I’ll exile them all to the Chaos Realm one by one.”
In truth, there had been rumors swirling outside; they weren’t really friendly towards Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue.
Of course, most hostility was directed at Qin Bei.
After all, finding favor with the goddess in many hearts was bound to attract jealousy.
But there were too many people to deal with it effectively, so this time, Qin Bei was simply reminding them to watch their tongues.
…
Seeing the two not responding directly, Qin Bei felt a bit disappointed.
But it was just a smidge.
After all, these two wives weren’t ordinary folk; it wouldn’t be so simple to have them entirely on board.
So Qin Bei didn’t set his hopes too high; he had already won their affection, and he believed he could win their hearts over time.
