Cultivation Online novel Chapter 980

Chapter 980 - Fiery Queen's Offer

"Si-Since the Bai Family hasn't offered you anything, then allow me to offer you to join the Walkers Family. What do you want? As long as it's something that money can buy, we will give it to you." Fiery Queen said to him after pondering for a moment.

"Sorry, but there's nothing I want." Yuan calmly responded.

"What? That's not possible. Everyone has something they desire."

"Indeed, that is true. However, what I want cannot be purchased with money."

"You won't know until you try. Love, happiness, fame— anything can be bought. Tell me what you desire and the Walkers Family will do everything in its power to acquire."

After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke in a calm voice, "If I say that I want the Walkers Family, will you be able to hand it over to me?"

"T-That's—!" Fiery Queen was dumbfounded by Yuan's question.

"What's wrong? Why are you hesitating? Didn't you say that you would give me anything? Or are you going to ask me to not be so greedy?"

"I'm sorry, but I don't think we can fulfill such an unreasonable condition. Anything else but that, please."

Yuan shook his head, "Sorry, but I was only joking. I don't plan on joining any Legacy Family, so you can stop asking."

"Can I ask why? You would gain a lot of benefit if you joined us. Or do you plan on creating your own family?" Fiery Queen narrowed her eyes at Yuan.

"I have no interest in the Legacy Ranking. As for why I don't want to join any Legacy Families… I don't want to break the current balance." He said.

"I don't want to sound arrogant, but if I join any family, even the lowest ranking family, it would immediately break the balance, and I'm sure nobody wants that to happen."

'Breaking the balance…?'

Both Fiery Queen and White Lotus frowned upon hearing this, as neither of them had thought about it like this until he mentioned it.

'He's right… If someone like him joins the Legacy Ranking, the family he chooses will immediately become the most powerful and influential family in the Legacy Ranking regardless of their previous rank.' White Lotus thought to herself.

'The other Legacy Families will probably work with each other to destroy such an unbalanced family. In other words, the moment he joins a Legacy Family, there will be a war…' Fiery Queen sighed.'

As much as she wanted to acquire Yuan for her family, she did not want to fight with the other Legacy Families simply because they had him.

After pondering for a few moments, Fiery Queen smiled and said, "Very well, I will give up on trying to recruit you. However, I have another proposal."

"While it's true that the other Legacy Families won't be happy if we pay to acquire you, they won't have anything to say if you marry into our family!"

She pointed at herself and said, "If you marry me, that will solve everything!"

"What nonsense are you saying?!" White Lotus slammed the table, startling everyone there.

"Nonsense? I think it's quite ingenious!" Fiery Queen said in a prideful tone.

"Yuan, forget about her. She's a lost cause."

"W-Wait! I was only joking!" Fiery Queen suddenly said.

And she continued, "Here's my real proposal. Instead of asking you to join our family, I will pay for your assistance."
