"STOP!!!" She patted his hands away.
The man effortlessly let her go and narrowed his eyes.
"If I guess it right, you got a crush on Xiao Jin’er. But now you’re marrying someone else, and that person is not a normal person at all. Do you want to bring danger to her?" She inquired with perplexity.
She always thought that he was in love with Huang Bai Xing, or Di Xiuyu. But today, she was overwhelmed with shock.
The air was thick with silence.
"The power struggles, the competition, tricks, and scheming in the palace. Do you want her to face all of these? Besides, you, as a Crown Prince, I don’t believe that you only marry to one wife." She rubbed Xiao Yun’s face, and her face was tensed.
"Why don’t you ask why I marry Di Xiuyu?" Ji Fulin sat on the bed. His tidied his hanfu and returned to the upright and serious prince.
"Why?" She asked.
Ji Fulin’s lips twitched.
"Because I can’t disobey my imperial father’s words. He didn’t want to marry Di Xiuyu, so he asked me to marry her instead. The ancestor of the Ji clan left their last wish, wanting the best men in the Ji clan to marry the daughter of destiny. Only by marrying her can the world be safe." He told her the truth.
Shenlian Yingyue’s jaw dropped. This was beyond her knowledge.
"I didn’t expect you to be so kind to sacrifice yourself to save the world."
"Are you expecting too much from me? I didn’t marry her to save the world. What does the world have to do with me? I’m not a hero." His smile was as cold as stone.
"I just need something from her. Di Xiuyu said that as long as I marry her, she can give me what I want, so I agreed with my father to marry her." If he didn’t want to, no one in the world could force him.
"What do you want?"
"The Astral Key—with that key, I can unlock the portals and doors leading to other realms, dimensions, and planes of existence. I planned to go to the modern era and take Jin’er back to this world." Ji Fulin’s eyes flashed a cold light.
"If she didn’t have the system with her, I would never approach her. When I help her accomplish her goal, she will give me what I want. That’s the reward from the system." His words dripped with disdain. For Jin’er, he could do anything.
"What? How did you know that she had a system?" She almost fell from the chair she was sitting on.
"Is it hard to guess? There can be no way an ancient woman is this powerful."
"Are you looking down on women?" She looked at him in disapproval.
"I didn’t look down on women. I’m just saying the truth that the women in the ancient era listened to their husbands and families. But Di Xiuyu shows the sign of ambition. She wanted to conquer the world and let the men obey her. Which ancient women do this to their men?" Ji Fulin knocked on her head.
She pondered. He had a point. Even in this era where strength and power were the priorities, the women who practiced to become immortals still listen to their families and men. It was as if rules and habits from the ancient era had been carved and passed to them from their ancestors.
