There was a valve in the human body that was like a layer of cellophane. Although it was gentle, it firmly sealed the acupoints of the body, preventing them from interacting with the spiritual energy of the outside world.
This barrier separated 999 out of 1000 ordinary people from the 1% of geniuses with cultivation aptitude. It was called the barrier between heaven and man.
Once a person broke through, they would immediately soar into the sky. Even a sparrow could fly to a branch and become a phoenix.
The spiritual herbs that could help people break through this barrier were all extremely precious treasures of the heavens and earth. They were worth thousands of taels of gold, but there was no market for them. Not to mention, this was an elixir refined by a powerful cultivator.
The elixirs in the world were divided into nine grades. A fifth-grade elixir was already considered a top-notch elixir. Regardless of its efficacy, just the fluorescent patterns around it faintly contained the Way of Heaven and Earth. It could eliminate all the side effects of the spiritual herbs breaking through the barrier.
It was really a big deal.
However, Guan Heng silently stared at the brocade box at his feet. He didn't immediately bend down to pick it up. He slightly lowered his head. His hair fell down and covered his face, but his back was straight like a pine tree.
The damp wind swirled around his sweat-soaked, drooping bangs, raising a low whimper.
After a long time, the youth slowly raised his head and asked in a low voice, "Why must we say it here?"
"The neighbors are watching. It's not good. Can't we say it quietly behind closed doors?"
Xie Ziyou said indifferently, "It's just a small matter. It's not worth wasting time."
Guan Heng lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
He silently repeated the words "small matter" several times in his heart. He couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart.
The "girl" in front of him was extremely beautiful. Her ink-black hair fell over her shoulders like flowing clouds to her waist. The side of her face was as clear as ice crystals. Her thin lips were slightly opened, and her voice was like flowing water hitting rocks. It was also like silver bells in the wind, reminding people of scattered white crystals.
However, the words spoken by such a beautiful voice were so cold and merciless.
The Guan Jia seemed to have a prosperous family business, but it hadn't been that long. If it weren't for the marriage alliance with the Xie family, it would have been swallowed up by the old families with many years of history.
Now that Xie Ziyou came with ill intentions and announced the cancellation of the marriage in public, it was tantamount to burning the Guan Jia on a raging fire.
From now on, he would be kicked by everyone …
No.
Guan Heng tightly pursed his lips. He anxiously thought that he had to think of a way …
Xie Ziyou maintained his stoic face and waited for a long time, but there was no response from the other side.
He was a little impatient, and his heart was also anxious. In his mind, the glittering points table quietly appeared. In the current corresponding column in the world, the words "Protagonist's Hatred Points" were at the top.
........................
However, there was a lonely "0" marked there. It was motionless, like a pool of stagnant water.
. what was he doing?
She had slapped him in the face by breaking off the engagement. Could it be that this fellow did not hate her?
Xie Ziyou suddenly didn't feel that the young man in front of him was cute. He was a little anxious and wanted to be fierce, but he had to maintain his cold and aloof persona. He could only force himself to maintain an expressionless face and shoot daggers at Guan Heng with his eyes.
.. that...............................
. After a long silence, Guan Heng suddenly raised his head.
The corners of his lips curled up, and he clapped his hands together, making a crisp sound.
Xie Ziyou's eyes lit up. He clenched his fists.
........ The morning light was tinted with a thin layer of gold. Along with the breeze and mist, Xie Ziyou's eyes lit up. It was as if he could see a large number of points waving at him...
"Miss's words are very reasonable."
Xie Ziyou: "Um … um?!"
He couldn't believe his ears. "What did you say?" he asked.
Guan Heng's dark eyes were filled with sincerity, bright and clear.
The young man said sincerely, "Miss, you have such a noble status. How can I be worthy of you? ..... Guan Jia... If I really ask you to fulfill the marriage agreement, I will be heartless and unrighteous. "
"Of course, you have to cancel the marriage. Cancel it immediately. Cancel it completely."
Xie Ziyou: "…"
Huh?
What is the protagonist doing?
"What are you trying to do?" Xie Ziyou narrowed his eyes.
The mist around him became thicker. Xuan Li surged. An invisible wind poured into his long sleeves. His sleeves and sashes fluttered.
Guan Heng felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him. The heavy pressure made it difficult for him to raise his head. His legs trembled. He could only clench his teeth and support his body.
If it was someone with weaker willpower, they would have already knelt down.
Xie Ziyou said coldly, "Don't try to play tricks. Today, the marriage agreement is canceled. You and I will be separated by clouds and mud. We will never meet again. "
He said the words "clouds and mud" very fiercely.
Come on, blame me, hate me!
Swear that sooner or later, you will trample me under your feet just like you did today!
However, despite Xie Ziyou's expectations, Guan Heng's smile didn't change at all.
Under the pressure of the Internal Force, he struggled to support himself. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead again. However, his expression was relaxed as usual. A crafty light flashed in his eyes.
The youth said slowly, "Don't worry. I, Guan Jia, will never mention the marriage agreement again. It won't affect your reputation. However — "
After a short pause, Guan Heng's eyes turned. The ends of his long and narrow eyes slightly raised. His face was immediately dyed with a hint of ambiguity.
The youth's eyes were infatuated. His expression revealed clear adoration. His voice was slightly lowered. The end of his voice trembled slightly, but it was just enough for the nearest passersby to hear.
"Xie family … are you looking for a son-in-law?"
Everything was silent.
A strong wind suddenly blew through Xie Ziyou's trembling hair. The Ice Spirit Flower on her temples slowly fell to the ground.
Xie Ziyou was almost choked by the youth's words, unable to catch his breath. His cheeks flushed red. He raised his voice in disbelief and said, "What did you say? Say it again? "
Guan Heng followed her advice and said sincerely, "Miss, are you looking for a son-in-law?"
My ass!
Xie Ziyou was so angry that her vision turned black.
He was a good protagonist. He didn't want to improve himself. Instead, he wanted to marry into the Xie family and become a son-in-law?
How could he become the strongest person in the continent when he was a salted fish?
He was so angry that he trembled. The cold-faced fairy that he tried so hard to maintain was almost broken. The four maids beside him couldn't bear to see their master humiliated. They immediately shouted in unison and pulled out a soft belt from their waists.
The soft belt fluttered in the wind and turned into a sharp sword.
The tip of the sword was sharp and cold. It was pointed directly at Guan Heng!
"Oh my!"
The youth stamped his feet in panic. The tip of the sword brushed past his temples, bringing with it an invisible sword energy that was like silk. It densely cut his brown clothes.
With a few rips, the brown clothes that were soaked in sweat were torn apart, turning into ragged beggar clothes. The cloth was pulled apart and fluttered in the wind.
"So strong!"
There was a clear gasp around them. The people who were watching the show immediately looked over.
The world's cultivators were divided into nine realms. When one's cultivation reached a high level, they could ride the clouds and move the mountains and fill the seas. If one wanted to injure others without the help of external objects, they had to be at least realm four.
The general public would rarely see such a strong person in their lifetime. Today's show could be bragged about for the rest of their lives.
As they talked, the crowd couldn't help but look at Xie Ziyou again.
If the crowd's gazes were filled with admiration for the "young girl"'s outstanding beauty before, now they were filled with awe.
After all, she was just a maid, but she was already a realm four cultivator. Then how strong was the real master, Xie Ziyou?
If she was really angry, would she be able to take everyone's lives with a flip of her hand?
Guan Heng acted as if nothing had happened.
He lowered his head and glanced at his clothes that were full of holes. He grinned and lifted his hand to tear off the rags on his body, throwing them aside.
The youth said slowly, "So that's what you meant … If you had said earlier, I would have taken them off earlier."
He patted his tight chest. Under his palm, his beautiful abdominal muscles and Apollo's belt were smooth. The sun burned his healthy wheat-colored skin. Sweat dripped down the uniform lines of his muscles, as if they were drenched in a layer of dazzling palm oil.
Guan Heng winked at Xie Ziyou. "How is it, Miss? Are you satisfied?"
Xie Ziyou, "???"
Satisfied with what? Satisfied with what?
Her points didn't increase. Why would he be satisfied?
Xie Ziyou was confused. She blinked her beautiful peach blossom eyes blankly, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.
It wasn't until she vaguely heard the surrounding girls whispering "Ah!" and the youth's masculine and straightforward aura hit her in the face that Xie Ziyou realized what Guan Heng meant — he was showing off his figure.
It had to be said that Guan Heng's figure was indeed excellent. He looked thin in clothes, but he was muscular when he took them off.
He practiced martial arts all year round, so his muscles were tight and his legs were straight and slender. At a glance, he was bursting with hormones.
Xie Ziyou's eyes were empty and her face was expressionless. However, a small bubble of jealousy secretly rose in her heart.
He also wanted a body full of muscles. In his previous life, he had signed up for many fitness clubs, but for some reason, he couldn't get a strong and muscular figure. His skin was milky white, and he didn't get tanned even when he was under the sun. His arms and legs were thin, and he was jokingly called the "School Belle" by his classmates.
Xie Ziyou's heart was in turmoil. Her jealous and slightly longing gaze pierced through her misty peach blossom eyes and fell into Guan Heng's eyes. The youth immediately interpreted it as beautiful.
Guan Heng was slightly happy.
He put on an expression that said, "If you knew this would happen, you wouldn't have done it in the first place." He sighed and said, "The difference in status between the Guan Jia family and the Xie family is too big. There's absolutely no reason for you to marry someone of a lower status.
"It's all my father's fault. He's inflexible and inflexible. Wouldn't it have been better if he had changed the marriage into someone else's? He even had to trouble you to come here personally.
"Let's go, Miss. I don't care about this pedantic father of mine. From today onwards, I, Guan Heng, am your man. As the saying goes, a married chicken follows the chicken, and a married dog follows the dog … Bah, I'm not saying that you're a married chicken or dog. I just … meant that."
The youth smiled at Xie Ziyou, revealing his neat and beautiful canine teeth.
"Let's not talk anymore. We won't be able to make it for dinner if we're late. I heard that the food at the Central Academy is very good. We can eat spirit beast meat and glazed rice every day … Miss, let's hurry and set off?"
Xie Ziyou was dumbfounded by the young man's words.
His peach blossom eyes widened slightly, and his fingertips trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "Who said you're going to marry into someone else's family?"
Guan Heng immediately changed his words and said smoothly, "Don't marry into someone else's family? Then a gigolo is fine too! "
"I … I don't keep gigolos!"
The youth's smile deepened, and his eyes curved as he said, "I'll be a servant or a slave, okay? The kind that changes clothes personally?"
Xie Ziyou was so angry that he was about to vomit blood.
He looked at the points on the System interface that didn't change at all. He wanted to go up and give the protagonist two slaps — he had already humiliated this person to this extent. What was this person waiting for?
Xie Ziyou couldn't figure it out. She glared at him and said, "Why do you have to follow me?"
"Hey." Guan Heng raised his index finger and said with bright eyes, "Miss, you've asked the key question."
After saying this, he bowed and knelt on one knee.
When he looked up again, his eyes were sincere and pious. He opened his palm and held up a beautiful azure flower.
It was the Ice Spirit Flower that had fallen from Xie Ziyou's forehead when she was angry. She didn't know when it had been picked up by the youth.
At this moment, the delicate petals trembled slightly in the breeze. The azure blue that was as deep as the sky transitioned from the center of the flower to the outside, and finally turned into a bright white. It was as beautiful as the stars and as pure as snow.
Guan Heng lowered his eyes slightly and lowered his head sincerely. A light kiss gently landed on the tip of the flower petal that bloomed in his palm.
His eyebrows were as sharp as knives, and his eyes were deep. When he lowered his eyes, the corners of his eyes curved, and the tenderness in his eyes was unbelievably gentle.
This action made Xie Ziyou's scalp go numb. She only felt that her temples were numb and itchy.
That light kiss landed on the tip of the Ice Spirit Flower, but it seemed to have landed on her forehead.
"From the first time I saw you, I knew that I had lost. Although I was covered in bruises, I was convinced."
Waves surged in Guan Heng's eyes that were as dark as the abyss.
The sun shrouded his head and rolled around in the depths of his eyes. The sharpness dissipated, and when it was reflected, it left only pure tenderness.
He said affectionately, "As long as I can accompany you, I don't care about status."
"I fell in love with you at first sight!"
