Chapter 51: I Only Belong To You (Seeking Recommendation Tickets)

  The icy woman seemed to have known that Qin Li would say this, and a hint of mockery flashed in her cold and indifferent eyes. Her mouth corners slightly curled up, but it didn't make people feel any smile.

  "Whether you agree or not is unimportant, because your opinion doesn't count. I wanted to see you just to see if you're worthy of being my disciple's fiancé, but now it seems like you're far from qualified!"

  "Your disciple?"

  Qin Li furrowed his brow, really couldn't think of it, from a young age not liking to practice martial skills Shangguan Shi Yu, when did she get an additional master.

  "Hmm... Qin Li, it's like this..." Shangguan walked over with a hint of embarrassment on his face, first bowing his head respectfully towards the icy woman before saying: "Shi Yu has already become Master Ye's disciple yesterday evening, and tomorrow she will be following Master Ye to the sect for training."

  Qin Liru noticed the attitude of Shangguan Tie towards this icy woman, and his heart couldn't help but move. What identity did Shangguan Tie have? He was a true royal relative, the emperor's father-in-law! With the powerful influence of the Shangguan family, what kind of person... could make such a powerful old man bow down? Moreover, although he looked somewhat helpless, there was more to it - a kind of delight!

  "Master... I, can I have a few words with him alone?" Suddenly spoke up the always silent Shangguan Shi Yu.

  The icy woman hesitated for a moment, gave Qin Li a warning look, and then said, "Go, don't be too long!"

  Shangguan Shi Yu brought Qin Li to her own room. This was still Qin Li's first time entering her boudoir, but the atmosphere wasn't joyful.

  In his past life, Qin Li had gone through too many hardships. Since he was young, he didn't have parents and was taken in by an old Taoist priest who taught him literature and martial arts, as well as various other knowledge. The three teachings and nine streams, all sorts of methods - as long as the old Taoist priest thought it necessary, he would pass them on to Qin Li. In the eyes of the old Taoist priest, if a person's heart was not righteous, then even if they learned things that were upright and just, they would still become tools for evil. If one had kind intentions in their heart, then even the most wicked things could be transformed into lifesaving techniques!

  Qin Li's past life had been glorious, also desolate, loved, hated, and betrayed, the only thing that never happened was a peaceful life!

  So in this life, after he made enough silver to live a carefree life, what he wanted to do most was to guard the exceptional little loli, Shangguan Shi Yu, watch her grow up bit by bit, watch her mature bit by bit, and watch her happily grow... until she becomes his wife. He will definitely take good care of her and make her happy for a lifetime! A heart that has not experienced the ups and downs of life will never understand that feeling.

  Since heaven has given me another chance to live, I will cherish it and make my loved ones live a better life. I will continuously improve my strength, mainly for the ability to protect myself, nothing more!

  Ke Qinli couldn't think of anything, this suddenly appearing vicious woman, what was her origin, how did Shangguan Shi Yu become her apprentice overnight?

  Qin Li raised his head, reached out and removed the veil from Shangguan Shi Yu's face. When they were alone together, Shangguan Shi Yu had long since stopped wearing a veil. Looking at that delicate face with a hint of sadness and pitifulness, Qin Li believed that it wouldn't be long before Shangguan Shi Yu became a completely normal person!

  Still that stunningly beautiful woman, most importantly, this woman belongs to oneself!

  Shangguan Shi Yu gazed into Qin Li's eyes, not explaining anything, but slowly walked to his front, wrapped her arms around his waist, leaned her head on his chest and softly said: "I'm sorry..."

  Qin Li's body suddenly shook, and a bitter smile spread across his lips. In that instant, Qin Li's heart turned icy cold. He shook his head, saying nothing, but gently pulled away the arm of Shangguan Shi Yu, "It's nothing, I'll try to forget..."

  No!

  Shangguan Shi Yu suddenly let out a loud, sharp cry and tightly wrapped her arms around Qin Li from behind. Her body violently shook as she sobbed and explained: "Qin Li, I didn't mean it that way! You have to believe me, you have to believe me... Believe me!" She repeated this several times, speaking incoherently.

  Qin Li stood there, letting out a deep breath. The word "love" was enough to disturb people's hearts. Even the calmest person would find it hard to remain calm in the face of this matter. He didn't speak, waiting for Shangguan Shi Yu's explanation.

  "My point is, I don't want to go, I really don't want to go!" Shangguan Shi Yu said tearfully.

  Qin Li suddenly turned around, tightly embracing the girl in his arms. He felt a sudden stinging sensation in his nose and took a deep breath before saying in a muffled tone: "If you don't want to go, then don't go. No one can take you away!"

  "You don't understand, I really don't want to leave you!"

  Shangguan Shi Yu raised her head from Qin Li's arms, her voice trembling with a hint of desperation: "But that woman... she possesses unfathomable power. Who knows where she came from or where she wants to take me? She gave my grandfather an elixir, saying it would guarantee the birth of ten top-grade cultivators in the Shangguan family within twenty years! My grandfather loves me, but he also has to consider the future of our clan... this condition, he can't refuse. Qin Li, tell me, what should I do? What should I do?"

  Qin Li couldn't help but take a deep breath in surprise and exclaimed: "Twenty years, ten Tier 5 cultivators? This... is nonsense?"

  To know, a genius, for example, Qin Feng's exceptionally talented young man, still needs to spend a lot of money in the family to refine Dan medicine and cultivate with all one's might. At the age of 20, he can enter the ground level, which is already an extraordinary achievement. Before the age of 40, if he can break through to the heavenly level, that is an unparalleled genius!

  This process, I don't know how much money and heart's blood a family will spend! When it comes to the earth level, there is still some danger. So if you say that reaching the earth level is simple for a genius, wanting to rush to the heavenly level, even for a genius martial artist, is extremely difficult!

  Just like Qin Shi, even if he entered the Earth Level at over 40 years old, wanting to break through to the Heavenly Level would be hopeless for this lifetime, even if he didn't die at Qin Li's hands! And yet this icy woman has such confidence, what makes her so sure?

  Shangguan Shi Yu had also calmed down a bit by then, still leaning in Qin Li's arms, feeling that only his embrace was the warmest and safest place in this world. Yesterday's performance by Grandfather made her doubt for the first time since she was little whether Grandfather really loved her so much, but when she saw that woman's tactics, she finally understood that it wasn't that Grandfather didn't love her, it was just that Grandfather had no way to stop that woman.

  Not to mention the imperial family of Shangguan, even the royal family of Qinglong would not dare to offend this woman!

  "Her elixir, my grandfather tried one pill, he has been at the Profound level for nine stages for many years and almost no breakthrough is possible. He had long given up hope, but unexpectedly, after taking that elixir, he actually broke through! And all the way to Earth level three stages! Master Ye said, my grandfather's age is too old, if he were ten years younger, in ten years' time, he would definitely be able to make further progress!"

  Qin Li listened, fell silent, and his fighting skills had already become the biggest surprise since he came to this world. The martial arts in this world were incredibly powerful! So from the beginning, Qin Li decisively abandoned his previous life's ultimate techniques and focused on cultivating Battle Techniques. It wasn't until after he cultivated the Unrivaled Battle Technique that he discovered his previous life's ultimate techniques had transformed into Battle Techniques, which gave him confidence.

  He then spent a very short period of time to cultivate to the Xuan level, and under the accompaniment of Shangguan Shi Yu, he absorbed the innate spiritual energy from her body. In less than half a year, Qin Li has now reached the strength of the 9th stage of the Xuan level!

  Just one step away from being a prefecture-level city!

  Such a rapid cultivation speed made Qin Li somewhat proud for a while, thinking that the warriors in this world were nothing more than that, and so-called geniuses were mostly names that didn't live up to their reputation.

  Never thought, the emergence of this icy woman, was like a slap in the face, fiercely slapping his cheek. That scorching feeling made Qin Li suddenly wake up and understand what it means to have others outside of people and heaven outside of heaven!

  Just as Qin Li fell silent, he heard a murmur.

  "Qin Li, don't worry, my person, my heart, my body, will forever belong only to you!"

  Then, two warm and soft lips trembled and printed on... Qin Li's lips.
