Chapter 23: Engagement!

Yang Dingtian’s heart immediately starting beating quickly. “Yes, I do.”

Dongfang Bingling then said, “So, you want to marry me?”

Yang Dingtian felt a little thirsty and replied, “Yes.”

“Parents’ orders are always the most important. My mom also plans to completely obey my father’s final will,” Dongfang Bingling said.

Yang Dingtian remained silent, waiting for Dongfang Bingling to continue.

“Before I turned ten, I absolutely admired my father even though his time with us was very short. After I turned ten, I started to hate him because he had completely disappeared. He went off to pursue an abnormal illusion, leaving me, my mother, and also the entire Yin Yang Sect.”

“My mother and I had many difficulties in the past ten years because of his disappearance. Our position became more and more awkward. In the end, we took back what originally belonged to us because of my hard work.” Dongfang Bingling’s face turned cold. “My father’s cultivation at my age was not as good as mine right now. Apart from a few people, there is no one who is a match for me. Zhu Hongxue is known as the best in our generation, but even if he didn’t let me win yesterday’s fight, he might not be able to beat me. If nothing special happens, I will become the new Head of the Yin Yang Sect in fifteen years.”

“In twenty years, my cultivation will surpass that of my father. In thirty-five years, I may break into the mythical Saint realm that nobody has been able to reach for centuries.”

“Everything I have today and everything I will have in the future is grasped with my own ability. None of it has anything to do with my father. He disappeared ten years ago, and ten years later, he randomly sends a person to become the next Yin Yang Sect Head as well as my husband.”

“What gives him the right to do so? Just because he is my father?” Dongfang Bingling’s voice had become colder.

“Apprentice Brother, although I’m not a real fairy, I’m also not a person that anyone can simply push around.” Dongfang Bingling shook her head. “I’m really not that frivolous.”

“Apprentice Brother Yang, I am truly grateful that you were there for my father in his last year, and I’m also very grateful to you for sending us his last words. I’ll repay this favor of yours.”

“But…” Dongfang Bingling glanced at Yang Dingtian with her charming eyes. He finally started to feel her a sense of distance in her pretty eyes. Her current gaze towards Yang Dingtian was just like that of a princess looking at a countryside peasant. It was like a fairy flying above the sky looking down at the ants on the ground.

This kind of gaze was very elusive and ephemeral. It flashed over her features and was gone in an instant. Only at this moment could Yang Dingtian feel it.

“My husband must be a peerless person, must be admired by millions of people, and must be someone who can match me perfectly.” Dongfang Bingling stared at Yang Dingtian and said, “Yang Dingtian, I’ve spoken with you often these past three days. I even brought you food and made you tea. All I have done were just to repay you for delivering my father’s final words. Otherwise, even Zhu Hongxue is not qualified for me to make tea for him.”

“I approached you because I wanted you to accept reality and take the initiative to dissolve our engagement yourself. I didn’t want to do it myself to not humiliate you,” Dongfang Bingling said coldly. “But, I didn’t expect that when I approached you, you became even more unwise and started looking for chances to get closer to me. You’ve disappointed me.”

“It’s already been three days. Since you’re not going to take the initiative to speak up, I will have to raise the issue even though it will make me seem snobbish. You’ve delivered a message to the Yin Yang Sect from far away. You’ve also accompanied my father in his last two years. I owe you so I don’t want to humiliate you. However, you’re too stupid, which is forcing me to make the issue clear myself.”

Throughout this entire tirade, Yang Dingtian just sat there as if he had been struck by lightning. He was paralyzed from top to bottom, unable to even react.

Dongfang Bingling looked at Yang Dingtian. “Don’t worry, I’ll repay you for your kindness, and will allow you to enjoy those rewards for the rest of your life. I’ve secretly checked your Xuan Veins. They’re so so. It might still be possible to place you in a small faction. However, you’re certainly not qualified to enter the Yin Yang Sect. However, I can make you a Yin Yang Sect disciple to reward your kindness.”

Dongfang Niemie had told Yang Dingtian that his Xuan Veins were so unique that even he couldn’t completely figure it out. He only figured that Yang Dingtian possessed the Nine Yang God Veins based on his own speculations. He observed the way Yang Dingtian practiced Zheng Yang Punch and washed his veins and marrow to more accurately identify his extraordinary Xuan Veins.

Ximen Wuya was also a Guru. His Xuan energy had flowed into Yang Dingtian’s body when he was healing him. However, he could only feel that the young man’s veins were chaotic and couldn’t precisely analyze them. However, Ximen Wuya was a learned man, and he was able to infer that Yang Dingtian’s Xuan Veins were unfathomable.

Dongfang Bingling continued, “In addition, I can give you a lot of pills, offer you many privileges, provide you with the best weapons, and allow you to secretly practice within a higher-grade faction. I will give you a future far brighter than what your aptitude would naturally allow.

“Yang Dingtian, I can give you many, many things worth far more than your kindness. Now, tell me what it is you want. Coins? Secret scrolls? Pills? Weapons? A Martial soul? Status? Power or anything else, I can give you anything as long as you name it.”

(TL Note: Martial soul here refers to the heart of a Martial Art that can be imparted.)

At this moment, Yang Dingtian seemed to wake from his stunned reverie. A second ago, he couldn’t even feel his body. Every single word uttered by Dongfang Bingling seemed to have come from beyond the clouds, but every word also boomed as loudly as thunder beside his ears.

Shame, disgrace, and endless humiliation!

He should be furious. He should be raging. However, he only managed to laugh three times. He truly should have been angry and aggrieved.

He had never suffered such humiliation. On Earth, he had always been pampered by everyone since he was young. His parents liked him. Although his teachers had a few headaches because he was not a well-behaved student, he was very smart, and his academic performance was pretty good. Thus, overall, they still liked him.

From primary school to secondary school to university, there were countless girls who had written him love letters. His English teacher, Li Bijun, eventually became his girlfriend. She was the campus belle with numerous admirers. Even so, Li Bijun was the one who took the initiative to woo him.

After crossing to a different world, people continued to value him highly. The world’s strongest person, Dongfang Niemie, took the initiative to accept him as a disciple. He even handed him the position of Yin Yang Sect Head and betrothed his daughter to him. Another Guru, Ximen Wuya, wanted to betroth his daughter to him and make him the next Lord of Cloud Sky City.

However, he was badly humiliated badly this time.

He really wanted to say that you should never bully a poor youngster, that fortune’s wheel was ever-turning. Today, he might be poor, but who knew what would happen over the next thirty years?

However, a million words flowed through his heart and burned to ashes. He ended up doing nothing more than showing a grim, expressionless face.

Yang Dingtian stood up. “I’m sorry, Apprentice Sister. Lust affected my judgment. A few things caused me to lose my rationality.”

Dongfang Bingling remained cold, saying nothing.

“A man should fight for what he wants using his abilities and capabilities instead of relying on others.” Yang Dingtian stood in front of Dongfang Bingling and stared at her. He coldly said, “Things that belong to me, I will get by myself. Thus, you don’t have to give me anything.”

“Regarding your father’s last words, you keep on saying that my guarding him in the past year and a half was a great kindness.” Yang Dingtian shook his head. “To me, that was not kindness. He is your father and also my Master. I see him as a father as well. So, what I did was not kindness, and you don’t owe me after all.”

After hearing what Yang Dingtian said, Dongfang Bingling scrunched her pretty brow and frowned slightly. “It’s good if you get over it, but please don’t speak to me using that tone. Since I’m offering, I recommend you accept it. Otherwise, you might regret your pride.”

“That’s my business. If there’s nothing else, if I’m allowed to continue staying here, then please, I would like to be alone right now.”

“One more thing,” Dongfang Bingling interrupted. “If you mean what you said, if you plan on grasping what you want with your own abilities, then great. Please hand it over.”

“Hand over what?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“The Flame Ring that represents the Yin Yang Sect,” Dongfang Bingling continued. “Are you trying to say that you’re not aware of it? Or that you don’t have it?”

Yang Dingtian’s raised his eyebrows. The Flame Ring was the only thing his Master had left him. The most crucial point was that inside the Flame Ring were the words his Master had left for him. Yang Dingtian would only gain access to those secrets once his cultivation reaches the level where he could summon the Flame Ring. They were the world’s greatest secrets, including the reason his Master was entrapped and the identity of his opponent.

Therefore, he decided not to give the ring to anyone.

“Sorry, I won’t give it to you,” Yang Dingtian said coldly. “This item belonged to my Master. He handed it to me, so I can’t give it to you.”

“This ring belongs to the Yin Yang Sect. You’re not qualified to possess it,” Dongfang Bingling said. “Take it out. I’ll give you anything you want. You can even stay in the Yin Yang Sect. We will give you as many resources as you want, helping you become stronger than anything you could imagine.”

“Or else?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Dongfang Bingling pulled a long face and said, “Or else you would be a thief that stole the Yin Yang Sect’s treasure. We will forcibly repossess the Flame Ring and punish you. Of course, we show you mercy for delivering father’s last will. We can promise not to take your life. But once you offend the Yin Yang Sect, I’ll make sure you will have trouble surviving in this world.”

Dongfang Bingling’s face immediately turned cold. Her sharp eyes now looked like the edge of a sword pointed at Yang Dingtian. “I don’t want to fight you myself. In one hour, I’ll send somebody to collect it from you. I hope you carefully consider what to do using this time.”

Dongfang Bingling’s tone was filled with menace. She left immediately after speaking. When she neared the door, she turned. “I hope you won’t go crying to my mother and try to leverage her innocence. She is not in the Yin Yang Sect at the moment.”

“Shuaaa…” A pair of icy wings sprouted from her back, and she flew downhill. Even if it was not flying but skating across the ground, the feat was more than enough to surprise Yang Dingtian.

Dongfang Bingling was really strong!
