Chapter 742: Chapter 730: You Want to Marry Me?

"Roar!" In the depths of the dense forest, an Ancient Fierce Beast, a giant elephant covered with golden lightning, who had long fur, cried out in extreme unwillingness, pain, and a mournful howl.

Above its head appeared a vast blood hole; this hole had been brutally punched through by Shi Feng. Then, the massive body collapsed with a "boom" and smashed into the ground, causing the entire area to tremble and roar.

Before Shi Feng, fiery flames erupted from his body, quickly engulfing the long-haired elephant.

"When Ling Rou saw the flames on Shi Feng, and felt their aura, her heart was shocked once more.

This man truly had too many shocks about him! Such a genius, he seemed to be from a different world than her own.

After the Fiery Flames engulfed the elephant, Shi Feng turned around and said to Ling Rou, "Alright, let’s continue on our journey!"

"Mhm!" Ling Rou nodded slightly in response. Witnessing Shi Feng’s might time and again, a certain thought suddenly occurred to Ling Rou.

After that thought arose, Ling Rou’s cheeks blushed slightly, and she walked towards Shi Feng slowly, speaking softly, "There is... there’s something I want to discuss with you!"

When Ling Rou spoke, her words began to falter a bit.

Seeing this sudden change in Ling Rou, who had always maintained a calm demeanor, Shi Feng thought to himself: This woman, having changed so suddenly in front of me—could it be that she has taken a liking to me?

Soon after, a look of perplexity appeared on Shi Feng’s face, and he asked, "What is it?"

"You... you..." As Ling Rou thought about what she was about to say next, her speech became even more hesitant—after all, she was a woman, and such words coming from her own mouth...

But, for the sake of the entire Three Lives Sect... Ling Rou steeled herself, thickened her skin, and said to Shi Feng, "I want to form a marriage alliance with you!"

"Marry me? You want to marry me!" Shi Feng, although suspecting her motives after seeing her demure demeanor, was still startled by her direct words.

"Mhm!" Facing Shi Feng and hearing his direct response, Ling Rou’s cheeks turned crimson, and she nodded gently, looking down.

Then, Shi Feng gazed at the picture-perfect, ethereal woman before him and felt that there was more to this than met the eye. He asked, "Why?"

Hearing Shi Feng’s question, Ling Rou, with her head lowered and cheeks flushed a beautiful crimson, showed a smile, but what Shi Feng saw was a bitter smile.

Then, Ling Rou slowly raised her lowered head and looked at Shi Feng again, saying, "Your strength, your talent, among all the people I have ever seen in my life, none can compare to you! Those so-called geniuses are nothing before you.

And I, as the Holy Maiden of the Three Lives Sect, have a duty to find a powerful husband for the sect—to protect our Three Lives Sect. Moreover, our sect is about to face a powerful enemy!"

"Hehe!" After listening to Ling Rou, Shi Feng chuckled and said, "Rather than saying you’re looking for a husband, it’s more like you’re looking for a fighter!"

"Pretty much." Ling Rou nodded honestly in front of Shi Feng and then said, "As long as you’re willing, you can have me! In the future, I will also try to fall in love with you! You’re so outstanding, I believe I will come to love you eventually."

"Do you even know what love is?" Shi Feng countered Ling Rou.

"I..I.." Hearing Shi Feng’s words, Shig Lingrou was suddenly at a loss for words.

Shi Feng spoke again, "Let’s go, no more wasting time. Lead the way."

"Okay." Shig Lingrou nodded in response, but then she added, "You.. might consider it."

"No need, I already have a fiancée." Shi Feng quickly replied.

In his mind, the image of the white-clothed figure waiting for him back in the Eastern Domain, that absolutely beautiful face, suddenly appeared.

..

Meanwhile, in the Ancient World, above the small mountain peak where Shi Feng had landed, at this moment, over three hundred martial artists from the Corpse Profound Sect had arrived!

The Great Elder Shii Yin, with the Corpse Profound Mirror in hand, shone a beam of thick, grayish-white light toward the forest.

When the grayish-white light beam reflected back, it carried with it a martial artist dressed in blue robes.

Yue Shaochong had just been in the jungle, caught by the grayish-white light beam, and then uncontrollably soared into the sky, his face filled with confusion.

However, when Yue Shaochong looked up at the sky above the forest, seeing those hundreds of figures, especially the lifeless faces, and particularly the purple-robed young man at the forefront, his heart suddenly jolted with horror and his eyes widened.

This was it, the young man from the Corpse Profound Sect leading the martial artists here for revenge!

Originally, with Shi Feng present, he could still argue somewhat, but now, he was here alone!

Shii Lin coldly watched the blue-clothed figure slowly rise in the grayish-white beam. As soon as Yue Shaochong arrived in front of him, Shii Lin reached out his right hand and forcefully grabbed Yue Shaochong’s neck, violently pulling him out of the beam.

Then, Shii Lin tightly gripped Yue Shaochong’s throat, his pallid, corpse-like face showing a fierce expression, and he coldly shouted, "Speak quickly if you don’t want to die, where exactly did that damned cur go!"

"Ah! Uh uh uh!" Yue Shaochong struggled fiercely in Shii Lin’s grasp, seeming to want to speak, but with his throat tightly gripped, he could only utter groans.

Seeing Yue Shaochong trying to speak, Shii Lin slightly loosened his grip on his throat.

"Huff huff! Huff huff huff!" Yue Shaochong, who had felt like he was about to suffocate, took in deep breaths of fresh air the moment Shii Lin loosened his grip, finally catching his breath.

"Speak quickly!" Seeing that Yue Shaochong still hadn’t spoken, Shii Lin’s fierce face showed impatience and he coldly shouted again.

"Ha ha! Hahahahaha!" Just then, faced with Shii Lin’s cold shout, Yue Shaochong suddenly burst into loud laughter.

His reaction was as if he had heard the funniest joke ever told on the Tianheng Continent, "Do you really think I, Yue Shaochong, am the type to betray friends and brothers? Perish the thought that I would do such a thing!"

"You! Seeking death!"
